Oliver Cromwell

 Oliver Cromwell, by Jeff Young

I think it was Oliver Cromwell who once said: "You need not hope in order to undertake, and you need not succeed in order to persevere."

Prominent Democrat Identifies the 'Mark of the Beast' (Surprise, it's a MAGA Symbol!)

 Prominent Democrat Identifies the 'Mark of the Beast' (Surprise, it's a MAGA Symbol!) - americanthinker.com

-----------

I don't know what the mark of the beast will look like - it may be some sort of chip that is implanted under your skin, but I doubt. It. A chip can be removed. Once a person takes the mark of the beast their fate is sealed - forever! The Bible says, 

Revelation 13:16-18 says: "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." 

And a closely related text is Revelation 14:9-11"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Excerpt from this article:

"...there are certain responsible entities that existed then and now:

The United State government
Eleven slave states of the Confederacy plus four union slave states
A handful of corporations with origins dating before the end of slavery
The Democratic Party.

I did not include the Republican Party for a very good reason: It was formed in 1854 by a bunch of abolitionists for the express purpose of ending slavery, which was accomplished at enormous cost 11 years later."

But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.” - David Rockefeller (Source)

Daily Sermon for the Hearing Impaired: The Mission and Confirmation

The Mission and Confirmation, by Joe W. Allen [Text: Exodus (Audio)]

Note: This daily sermon for the hearing impaired is dedicated to my good friend, David J. Bishop, who went home to be with his Lord Jesus on July 1, 2021. David was the inspiration for me to begin posting links to sermons for the hearing impaired. David's not deaf anymore. And the first words he heard were from our Lord Jesus, saying to him, "Well done, David, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord!" [Matthew 25:21 (Audio)]

Here is one of the last pictures David sent to me before he died. He was a big sports fan and LOVED the Seattle Seahawks! He was also a BIG baseball fan. I'm sure if David had been able to hear he would have loved the song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game! But David loved our Lord Jesus much, much, much more than any sporting event!




"Whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13


"My friend I stand in Judgment now
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
While on this earth I walked with you day by day
And never did you point the way.

"You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim,
You could have led me safe to him.

"Though we lived together here on earth
You never told me of the second birth.
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention him.

"You taught me many things, that's true,
I called you friend and trusted you.
But now I learned, now it's too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.

"We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the light.
You let me live, love and die,
And all the while you knew I'd never live on high.

"Yes, I called you friend in life,
And trusted you in joy and strife.
Yet in coming to this end,
I see you really weren't my friend!"
-My Friend, by D.J. Higgins

  1. "Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost." [Note: Ann wrote this before August 30, 2021. That was the day the Democrats officially lost the war in Afghanistan!]
  2. "Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."
  3. "In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."
  4. "President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kenedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."
  5. "Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"
  6. "A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."

Excerpt from this last article: "Former president [Clinton] took 26 trips on the 'Lolita Express'"

The following quotes are from Ann Coulter's book High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton:

  • "Though [Bill Clinton] once had sweet nothings to whisper in her ear, after Gennifer Flowers told the world of her affair with Bill Clinton, he reportedly denounced her to his troopers in terms unbecoming of the president who claims credit for the Violence Against Women Act. He called her a 'F----g slut,' and demanded to know 'What does that whore think she's doing to me?'"
  • "To have the President's behavior propel the country into a national discussion of whether oral sex counts as adultery would have been a blatant 'high crime and misdemeanor,' if the framers could possibly have imagined any president would sink so low.'
  • "They say his lies about Gennifer, Paula, Kathleen and Monica don't matter because they are 'about sex.' No, actually, not all his lies are 'about sex.' the lies 'about sex' just happen to be the ones he told under oath."
  • "The process is called "discovery," but ought to be called 'obscurity,' since lawyers spend most of discovery trying to block the other side from obtaining relevant evidence."
  • "Clinton people would learn two lessons the hard way: you don't call Paula Jones trailer park trash, and you don't call Linda Tripp a liar."
  • "One can't help imagining the conversation over breakfast at the White House residence that morning - Hillary: Oh look Bill! That sweet Elizebeth Ward has told the press you didn't use force when you had sex with her while I was home taking care of little Chelsea in 1981. Isn't that nice of her?"
  • "On the op-ed page of the New York Times about a month later, once the laryngitis had lifted, Steinem announced the new Clinton-era standard for sexual harassment: The boss gets one free grope. Referring to Kathleen Whiley's accusations during the 60 Minute interview, Steinem wrote: 'The truth is that even if the allegations are true, the President is not guilty of sexual harassment. He is accused of having made a gross, dumb, and reckless pass at a supporter during a low point in her life. She pushed him away, and it never happened again. In other words, he took 'no' for an answer.'"
  • "The only presidential privilege Clinton had not claimed was the one floating around the Internet: 'Going to hell would interfere with the president's ability to carry out the duties of his office, and God's judgment would violate the separation of powers. Sins are therefore excused in the case of a sitting president, at least as long as the economy is good.'"
