Visions of a nuclear free world dance through their heads.

“The treaty marks significant progress toward President Obama’s vision of a world without nuclear weapons.” -U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

The New START treaty took effect yesterday, just one day before the 100th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s birth. Reagan originally proposed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty during his presidency to help calm heightened tensions between the U.S. and Russia during the Cold War, and it went into effect in 1994. Today, as countries like North Korea, Syria, and Iran are close, if not already able to get their hands on nukes, we are playing a whole different ballgame.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov exchanged ratification papers at the security conference in Munich on Saturday, officially putting terms of the treaty into motion. Hillary Clinton praised the effort saying that the treaty marks a “clear-eyed cooperation that is in everybody’s interests.”

MUNICH – A new U.S.-Russia nuclear arms control treaty went into effect Saturday, securing a key foreign policy goal of President Barack Obama and raising hopes among officials on both sides that it will provide the impetus for Moscow and Washington to negotiate further reductions.

“When it comes to the button that has worried us the most over the years — the one that would unleash nuclear destruction — today we take another step to ensure it will never be pushed,” Clinton told reporters after the treaty went into effect.

The 10-year New START treaty, which can be extended by another five years, is a cornerstone of Obama’s efforts to “reset” U.S. relations with Russia, and Clinton called it a “milestone in our strategic partnership.” source: Fox News

“I encourage the Russian Federation and the United States to continue their efforts to identify and carry forward the next steps, together with other nuclear-weapon states, in this historic endeavor of pursuing a nuclear weapon free world.” -U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

The New START treaty — the first major revamping of nuclear disarmament deals since the late Cold War era — was approved by the U.S. Senate in December after a bruising fight during which Obama pressed strongly for its passage.

Hillary Clinton and Sergey Lavrov had discussed further arms control initiatives, including a pact to reduce stockpiles of tactical nuclear weapons, as well as one that would scrap long-range warheads stored in warehouses.

New Start cuts the number of deployed strategic warheads to 1,550, and the number of launchers and heavy bombers to 800. Within 45 days, the United States and Russia must share details on the number, location and technical characteristics of their arsenals. Sixty days from now, inspectors will be permitted to investigate the nuclear sites of the other country. source: New York Times

Does anyone honestly believe that we are heading towards a nuclear weapon free world? Anyone who understands End Times Bible Prophecy knows that there are plenty of weapons to be used in days ahead, and that the Bible describes events in the last days that certainly sound like nuclear war. What is the motive behind all of this showcasing by the U.S. and Russia? Even if both nations follow through on nuclear arms reduction, in the long run, what difference will it make? Both will still have significant nuclear arsenals and China, North Korea, Pakistan, and others will also still have their weapons. We have long passed the days that a nuclear free world is even a remote possibility.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are quite serious about limiting America’s arsenal as quickly as possible, but Russia? Come on. Who would believe that they are going to seriously weaken themselves as they work to become the world’s superpower? The United States has got to be the only nation in the history of the world that has volunteered to weaken its status, and step down as the world’s superpower; exactly why many Americans wonder what team our leaders are really playing for.

The Carson City Correctional Facility In Michigan With Its 2,300 Inmates Is In Need Of As Many King James Bibles As We Can Send Them

The Carson City Correctional Center in Michigan has currently 2,300 inmates and a chaplain who needs as many Bibles as we can send them

Carson City Correctional Facility in Michigan is a multi-level facility consisting of 15 housing units. DRF-West consists of seven housing units; one unsecured Level I unit with 120 beds, three Level II units with 720 beds, two Level IV units with 384 beds, and a 22-bed temporary segregation unit. The Carson City Correctional Facility has 428 employees when fully staffed and the capacity to house 2,526 adult prisoners. Chaplain Lonnie wrote to us today asking for as many Bibles as we are able to send them.

“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” Isaiah 42:7 (KJB)

Carson City Correctional will be the 28th prison that we will have sent Bibles to in the current “hot streak” the Lord has us on, it’s an exciting thing seeing all these facilities reaching out to us and us being able to meet each and every need that comes in. Chaplain Lonny writes to say “We have 2300 inmates within two facilities and three security levels. We would deeply appreciate as many Bibles as possible.”

Since I last wrote, we have been able to send out Bibles and books to the Heard County Jail, Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, Maine Correctional Center, and Moberly Correctional as well. Carson City with its current roster of 2,300 inmates is a big one, and I don’t expect to be able to send them a bible for each inmate, as that would come out to about $8,257. But realistically, if we could send them somewhere between 500 – 1,000 Bibles, that would be a wonderful start. But the final number we send is up to each and every one of you. Come help us, we need you!

In 692 AD, The Roman Catholic Church Codified ‘Good Friday’ Along With The Unbiblical Adoration Of The Cross And The Worshipping Of The Eucharist

The Roman Catholic practice of Good Friday evolved slowly in the 4th century until becoming codified at the Quinisext Council in 692 AD

The Roman Catholic Church likes to pretend that the things they do are the things that they’ve always done, and that is far from the truth. For example, worshipping of Mary was something that developed gradually over time and was not codified until 1854 when Pope Pius IX issued his Ineffabilis Deus. Yet the Vatican likes to make you think it was always that way, and that all the apostles did that, and that is a lie. Another good lie is ‘Good Friday’, much older than Mary worship but still as recent as 692.

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:19 (KJB)

Look at the photo at the top of this article, this is what a Good Friday holy day looks like in Europe, this was filmed in Spain. Terrifying, isn’t it? Now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Those of you who know me know that for 30 years before I got saved, I was a Roman Catholic trained in Jesuit schools, and trained as an altar boy in the dark mystery of Mass. I speak not as an outsider, but as one trained at the highest levels of Roman Catholicism.

The Roman Catholic Church created Good Friday in 692 AD, and when celebrated in Europe, this is what it looks like. Terrifying, isn’t it? This video was filmed in Spain, now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Good Friday is Catholic but absolutely not Christian. pic.twitter.com/X7puYeXuqc

The practice of Good Friday observance traces back to ancient times, with some customs documented as early as the 4th century by Egeria. Its evolution into a day of penance and fasting commemorates Christ’s death, with the name “Good Friday” possibly originating from “God’s Friday.” The veneration of the cross likely began in Jerusalem between the 7th and 8th centuries, with references to pre-sanctified Masses dating back to the Quinisext Council in AD 692. source

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:

Nuns
Priests
Confession to a priest
Prayer to Mary
Veneration of Mary
Christmas

Good Friday
Easter
The Mass
The Eucharist
Transubstantiation
Holy Orders
Last Rites
Purgatory

In the Bible, there is no Lent, there is no Good Friday, and the only people celebrating Easter are the pagan Romans like Herod who killed Christians. It breaks my heart seeing Baptist churches putting up signs for ‘holy week’, and ‘come celebrate Good Friday with us’, proving just how hard it is to extricate yourself from the grip of Mother Rome, even for Baptists. That’s why I wrote the handy, little guide showing you the Bible truth about the week-long passion of Jesus Christ. For extra credit, please also read ‘Lent Is Taken From The Babylonian Practice Of Weeping For Tammuz’, ‘Don’t Be Fooled Into Observing Phony Roman Catholic ‘Holy Week’ Rituals Like Easter, Here Is What Actually Happened To Jesus During His Week Of Passion’ and ‘Good Friday’ Is A Roman Catholic Invention, The Bible Says Jesus Went To The Cross On A Wednesday’ Hope it’s a blessing, enjoy and share!

DIVINE FEMININE: White House Faith Office Director Paula White Strikes Gold In Trump Oval Office As The End Times Spiritual Leader America Deserves

Published

Apostle and end times deceiver Paula White is reveling in her role as the Divine Feminine spiritual leader in the Trump White House

Paula White has arrived at the moment she has always longed for, nearly unlimited wealth and power through her association with the most politically-powerful man on earth, President Donald Trump. As a self-proclaimed and self-anointed ‘apostle’, Paula White is the living, breathing embodiment of the type of false and deceitful workers the apostle Paul warns us about. The falling away in the Laodicean Church, (if you know you know), is staring you right in the face if you have eyes to see it. That’s the memo.

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:13 (KJB)

Speaking of President Trump, White says “There will be some people that absolutely believe that he is chosen and he is anointed”. On our Podcast on Monday talking about Real ID and the Mark of the Beast, I said the exact same thing, but for a much different reason. What Apostle Paula doesn’t know or understand, is that God can sometimes anoint people as He does in the Bible to carry out some very scary stuff. For example, Ezekiel 28 shows us Lucifer as the anointed of God, and Isaiah 10 shows us him being used of God as Antichrist. King Saul was a terrible king over Israel, yet he was anointed of God for that role. I believe that, according to Daniel 2, God did indeed raise up Donald Trump to be the ruler of the most powerful nation on Earth. I also believe Trump is in this position to advance the end times timeline and, unwittingly to himself, carry out the judgment of God on America and on the world.

Apostle Paula White feels right at home in Trump White House

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: In March, six weeks after President Trump appointed her to lead his White House Faith Office and set her up with an office in the West Wing, evangelical Christian leader Paula White preached in a YouTube sermon that the Passover-to-Easter period provided the faithful with an opportunity to receive “seven supernatural blessings.”

“God will assign an angel to you,” she said. “He’ll be an enemy to your enemies. He’ll give you prosperity.” Citing a verse from Exodus, she added that God also had decreed that “none shall appear before me empty-handed.”

The video then pivoted into fundraising mode, outlining a series of gifts for honoring God and supporting her ministry, culminating in a Waterford crystal cross for a “Passover/Easter resurrection offering of $1,000 or more.” Next came footage of Trump in the Oval Office lauding White’s ministry and political work. “You have helped us so much in so many different ways,” Trump said.

Over a four-decade career as a preacher and televangelist, the 58-year-old White has become both enormously influential and controversial in the evangelical world. Her 24-year friendship with Trump, which she said began when he called her after seeing her preach on a Florida TV station, has culminated in a role that combines religion and politics in ways that have little precedent in modern White House history.

In addition to advising the White House office set up to empower faith groups, White has repeatedly been photographed leading prayer sessions in which she and others—heads bowed and eyes closed—lay their hands on the president, including in the Oval Office.

While working for the White House, White has continued to raise money for her ministry, as well as for StoryLife, the church she helps lead in Apopka, Fla., at times incorporating into her pitches images of Trump or references to her work with the president. That troubles some government ethics experts.

“This is the use of a public office for private gain,” said University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter, the chief ethics lawyer to then-President George W. Bush and a frequent critic of Trump administration ethics. “You cannot use the presidency or any other public office to raise money for private organizations. No private organization should be doing this.

In recent sermons, she has urged followers to send her $133, reflecting the Bible verse Proverbs 1:33. A gift of $414, reflecting a verse from the book of Esther, brings a book set and an engraved crystal paperweight. “If you hold back now…God can’t use you. He doesn’t use spectators. He uses participators,” she said.

In a recent fundraising appeal, White said: “You don’t do this to get something, but you’re doing it in honor to God, realizing what you can receive.” READ MORE
