By Robert Anthony December 4th 2023 (Originally Published at The Western Journal ) The Jews started returning to Israel in the mid-1800s from Europe. Zionism was born, and a remnant within Judaism saw it as their God-given responsibility to inhabit the land given to their forefathers. It is very important to understand that, as the Jews started returning, they were welcomed! There were no “Palestinian” people warring against them. That did not exist. There were an indigenous and transient people living in the Holy Land coming from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, etc., they were Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Druze, etc. The story is extremely different than what the left-wing news media pretends. The Jews brought with them resources — money, business connections, trade agreements and more — as they returned to their Promised Land. And a very important part of the story that is never told is that Jerusalem and most of Israel in the mid-1800s was a pile of dust! The famous Mark Twain visited Israel in 1867 and commented, “Many are Israel’s forsaken places, and great is the desecration. The more sacred the place, the greater the devastation it has suffered. Jerusalem is the most desolate place of all.” The Jews were welcomed to this forgotten and desolate Promised Land simply because no one in the world was interested in it! (Here is a great article about it that goes into much more detail.) For some 60 years, the European Jews returned to Israel without conflict or strife. They were buying lands and conducting business, and everyone was getting along. And then came the fall of the Turkish Ottoman Empire after World War I. The British came to rule most of the lands of the fallen empire, which included Israel. As history shows, under British rule all the strife between the religious groups began. This contention reached a boiling point after World War II. It is very important to understand that no one wanted the Jews after World War II (and very hard for me to write that sentence). Even our own famed FDR cut off immigration far, far below quota to prohibit the hurting European Jews from coming to America. Why? It’s hard to understand why he would do this… until you study who was around FDR and their anti-Semitic sentiments. Then the British shut off immigration to the Holy Land. The war was won, the Holocaust was over, but the Jews had no home to which to return. These events triggered a war in Israel between the Jews and the British. The Muslim Palestinians were aligned with the British and also went to war with the Jews over control of the Holy Land. After the Jews fought for and won their independence from the British and Muslim Palestinians, many of the Muslims left the Holy Land for Egypt. Clearly, by the early 1950s, the Muslim Palestinians from British Mandate Palestine had developed a formalized leadership. Now in Egypt, they created a formal partnership with the Muslim Brotherhood and started to terrorize their host country. In the mid-1960s, the Muslim Palestinian leadership, now basically expelled from Egypt, went to Syria and began terrorizing them. In 1968-70, the Muslim Palestinian leadership triggered a civil war in Jordan, attempting to topple their host Hashemite regime. In 1970-82, the Muslim Palestinian leadership started a series of civil wars in Lebanon, aiming to take over that host country. In 1990, the Muslim Palestinian leadership collaborated with Saddam Hussein’s invasion and plunder of Kuwait, which was for decades the most generous Arab host of 400,000 Palestinians. Israel is fighting a people group that has been content to be at war with every nation in which it has lived for about 80 years. The Many Factors Working Against Peace in Israel It has been the policy of the West to throw money at this problem since its inception. First, the UN developed refugee camps throughout Israel for the overwhelmingly Muslim Palestinians. Since then, aid by the billions has been pouring into Israel but also given directly to the Muslim Palestinians. In fact, so much aid has poured in that it has made an elite group of Muslims rich beyond their wildest dreams! It is estimated that the three leaders of Hamas are worth a combined total of $8 billion! Why would anyone want peace in a world that pays so much for conflict? Take away this aid money and what economy is left in the West Bank and Gaza? The sad but honest answer is very little. The West Bank and Gaza could produce so much with access to ports, shipping, arable lands, abundance of water, etc. But they choose instead to pour untold fortunes into amassing for themselves an arsenal, with underground fortresses to boot. What nation in the world would want to take the risk of hosting such a people? We see this complexity playing out right now in Egypt and Jordan. Both countries have shut their borders and refused refugee immigration from their fellow Muslims. Obviously. Egypt was already nearly toppled by the Palestinians — Jordan too! If Iran cares so much about the suffering of the Muslim Palestinians, why doesn’t it open its borders to them? Turkey also! To date, there is not one Muslim nation running to open its doors to these warring peoples. It seems history has taught the Middle East to fear their Muslim brothers from what was once British Mandate Palestine. One Nation Has Been Compassionate Toward the Palestinians The truth is, the Israeli people have been the most generous, kind and compassionate nation toward the Palestinians since the beginning. Ever since the mid-1800s, these indigenous people who were living in British Mandate Palestine have been increasingly blessed by Israel! There is no telling what they could have created over these 80 years with all that wealth — billions gifted to them from the nations! Just imagine the cities and economies they could have built alongside the Israeli Jews! There was peace off and on over the years between Israel and those Muslims living in Gaza and the West Bank. Many of these Muslims immigrated successfully into Israel and Israeli culture. I have lived in Israel and the West Bank and have seen with my own eyes Muslims, Christians and Jews living side by side and getting along just fine. To this day, East Jerusalem is mostly Muslim. It was by and large peaceful until recently. In fact, I lived in East Jerusalem with the Muslims for a short time. Only within the past 10 years has it devolved into such strife and terrorism. The politics of the Muslim Brotherhood coming to capture Gaza along with other complexities within Muslim Palestinian politics seem to have changed this once-working relationship for good. And now, with the Hamas massacre of some 1,400 Israelis (mostly civilians — elderly, women and children), there will remain pain and strife for years to come. Here is a link to Part Two

By Guest Contributor, Ole Braatelien Originally Published Nov 18 2023 by The Western Journal More than 200 Muslim men in Gaza have converted to Christianity after reportedly seeing Jesus in their dreams, said Christian professor Michael Licona. Licona teaches New Testament studies at Houston Christian University and has also written a number of books , including “The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus” and “Paul Meets Muhammad.” In a recent Facebook post , Licona said he received a report from “underground Christian ministries” in the Middle East that detailed the miraculous conversions. “God is working in the midst of war!” his post began. He then quoted the report from the ministries. “Over the past two days, we have ministered to hundreds of fathers who have lost most, if not all, of their children in the war. As we moved these men to safety, we fed them, washed their clothes, and began to read the Bible to them — sharing the way of peace through Jesus. “Then, a big miracle happened. Last night, Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams! They have come back to us to learn more from God’s Word and are asking how to follow Jesus,” the report said. Licona then voiced his own stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. “I side with Israel in this war; not necessarily for theological reasons but because Hamas and those backing it are pure evil,” Licona said. “Yet, I know that not all Palestinians support Hamas. In fact, they will be punished severely if even suspected of not supporting Hamas. Let’s pray that this war can be over soon and that Israel can eradicate Hamas so that Palestinians can be free … of Hamas!” This isn’t the first report of such dreams affecting Muslims. About a month before the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Assemblies of God News reported that Muslims around the world were dreaming of Jesus and converting to Christianity at an unprecedented rate. “I would even say it’s the normal experience,” said Dick Brogden, a missionary for the Assemblies of God , a Pentecostal Christian organization. “It would be accurate to say that Muslims are responding to Jesus in levels we have never seen, not in 1,400 years!” Brogden also noted the importance of dreams for evangelism. “Dreams are contributing to revelation … the process of evangelism and conversion,” Brogden said. “So many Muslims reject Islam, but know that to follow Jesus will cost them everything. Dreams of Jesus encourage them along the way and give them the comfort that Jesus will be with them — though it cost them everything to follow Him.”

By Dr Joe December 13th 2023 I saw Tim today. There was something special about seeing him. We haven’t connected for several weeks, and I was anxious to know what happened. The last I remember, he was fighting Esophageal cancer. He was working on getting his body ready for an intense surgical procedure and the follow up treatments. The odds were not in his favor: according to the National Cancer Institute, the overall five-year survival rate for Esophageal cancer is about 20% (National Cancer Institute, 2023).   Tim’s Journey When I saw Tim today, he looked great. Perhaps because I wasn’t sure if he was going to make it, I was so glad to see him. By God’s grace, he had lived to tell the story. He had lost quite a bit of weight, but was moving comfortably walking towards me. He said they took out his esophagus and pulled his stomach up. He showed me some of the scars, and we both smiled broadly when we spoke about his surgery, like two giddy school girls comparing notes from a previous date night.     Tim said that he had been taken off of his feeding tube, and was back to eating normal food. I told him that I had been praying for him, and he thanked me with the appreciation of someone who had been through an incredible experience and came out alive, like being rescued from a fire. He had survived the surgery and the recovery, and had been given an extension on a life that seemed to be coming to an end.   Tim was in unique company; and his survival from this ordeal would be even more unique. According to the National Cancer Institute, Esophageal cancer is a rare type of cancer, making up about 1% of cancer cases in the US (National Cancer Institute, 2023). The rate of new cases of Esophageal cancer each year is about 4 for every 100,000 people (National Cancer Institute, 2023). Our time reflecting on Tim’s incredible story of surgery and recovery from this rare cancer brought tears to my eyes; and a great appreciation for this amazing gift of life that I often overlook.   The Gift of Life There is something divine about overcoming cancer, or overcoming any terminal illness or tragic physical infirmity. Our survival from an incredible ordeal like this puts God’s gift of life truly in focus. We assume that we are immortal when we are young, even though the Bible cautions us that there is a shelf life for this human form (see Psalm 90:10, ESV). The great advances in medical research and treatment have demonstrated amazing success: the risk of dying from any form of cancer has plummeted by almost 1/3 over the past 20 years (ACS Staff, 2022). We live in a remarkable time!   While our youthful exuberance leads us to “live life to its fulness” by taking plenty of physical risks, we also learn very quickly that bumps and bruises in a young man’s body do not just hide themselves by an adrenaline rush. There are times later in life when the effects of those bumps and bruises may lead to the need for surgery, for a replacement joint or something more serious. These episodes don’t often remind us about God‘s goodness in providing us with healing in our bodies, or of the great blessings we have through the incredible advances in medical procedures that allow damages limbs and joints to be replaced and operate like brand new.   When we hear of a procedure that releases someone from a terminal illness, even if just for a time, this becomes a type of deliverance. “If he can be delivered from (such an event), then I can too!” This seemingly miraculous procedure does not often cause me to consider my finite life, nor do I often appreciate the grace of God that allowed for this miraculous procedure.   We view death as tragic, and all too soon of course, unless you’re of a certain age – whatever that might be. But all of us have an expiration date. We fill our times with busyness and refuse to acknowledge that our lives are but a vapor (James 4:14), which appears for a short while, and then it is gone! When I think of Tim, I realize once again that each day is a gift from God, and I yearn to embrace each one utterly. But can I change my attitude in my approach to life? I think of Tim again, and the divine gift of one more day that he has been given, and I ask myself if I can live this way as well?   Embracing Each Moment So why don’t we choose to enjoy each moment of life? A cancer patient chooses to embrace each and every moment, because their life has now is in overtime, and soon the clock will run out. But truly all of our lives have time limits. The Bible says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment…” (Hebrews 9:27 ESV).   I believe this attitude of embracing each moment of life can change my approach to my work. Work does not remove us from a fuller life, it actually represents the most alert and vibrant times in our day. Why would I want to trudge through that time and try to live fully only after work or on weekends and vacation? After God created Adam and Eve, they worked together in the garden. Work completes our life by offering us the chance to use our talents and gifts to pursue the calling that we have on our hearts. As we pursue our purpose in life, our days become much richer and authentic. Our lives are not measured by the things we accomplish, but by the richness of the experiences we choose to embrace.   That moment with Tim reminded me that each day is a gift, and I must choose to unwrap that gift and cherish each moment that I have. The Psalmist wrote of his love for God and how it completed his life in Psalm 42, when he sang, “By day the Lord commands His steadfast love, and at night His song is with me – a prayer to the God of my life (Psalm 42:8 ESV).   Embrace this gift of God, the gift of breath flowing into your lungs, and the people whom you meet, and your family and this precious gift of life. Choose each day to see the awesome potential in learning new things, cherishing the journey and enjoying chance encounters. Not sure you can do it? Just ask Tim.     Joseph J.

By Robert Anthony Dec 15th 2023 (Originally Published at The Western Journal) This is Part 2. Part 1 can be read here . Understanding the Muslim Palestinian Culture As I mentioned, I lived in the West Bank for a time. I lived with the Muslims in East Jerusalem and visited many Muslim sites throughout Israel. The cultural differences between the Muslims with Israeli citizenship and the Muslims living in the West Bank cannot be overstated. The Palestinians in the West Bank live with nonstop bitterness and fear toward Israel. In Nablus (the location of Hamas’ headquarters in Israel), I learned much about this conflict and how the Muslim Palestinian leaders use fear and propaganda to dominate and control their people. Just watch the news in the West Bank. It is a bombardment of sorrow and anger, tears and yelling, images of war and strife without end. I saw all of this with my own eyes. If a Muslim Palestinian in the West Bank or Gaza starts to strive against that status quo, if he starts to speak out against Hamas or the Palestine Liberation Organization, there is a frightening obligation upon his family. In Muslim Palestinian culture, if your son or daughter or relative does something to dishonor your family, let’s say by marrying a non-Muslim, then it is your obligation to murder your own child or relative to restore your family’s honor! How on earth could a destructive and vengeful culture ever change with the constant threat of murder and honor killings hanging over their heads? The entire culture has become one of war and bitterness. This anger, fear and hatred permeates every aspect of their lives in the West Bank and Gaza. Who can bring peace to a people ruled by such evil and destruction? Hamas Is the Head of the Snake Unbelievable amounts of pressure are being put on Israel to stop the fighting with Hamas. Our CIA director was in Qatar last week trying to convince Israel to agree to a cease-fire — upon the release of all their hostages. Of course, we all want peace, but this concept is a fantasy. How will a “cease-fire” ever bring peace? Hamas will still be ruling the West Bank and Gaza, and the people there will still live under constant fear, filled with hateful propaganda each and every day. It will be only days until Hamas terrorists start planning their next attacks on Israel, rebuilding their underground fortresses, stockpiling their arsenals, and worse. A child could determine such a thing. If the CIA, White House, UN, European Union, Arab League, etc. cared about the Muslim Palestinians, they would do something to actually solve the problem. Instead, the world wants to go on funding Hamas? And its terror operations? What on earth is wrong with these people? How much have the citizens of Israel suffered over the past 80 years — and the nations enable the strife and war. How much have the Muslim Palestinian civilians suffered under their oppressive regimes — and yet the nations throw untold billions at Hamas and others to enslave their people to fear and generations of war and terrorism! A Long-Term Solution? A “two-state solution” is an absolute joke. The Muslim Palestinians say they want it but actually shy away from it for fear they will lose all that free money! Israel doesn’t want its enemies at its border. A two-state solution to Israel means generations of war to come. The Muslim Palestinians chant what? “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” Give them a nation (which is almost what they have had for 80 years) and they will create a state much like North Korea — forever at war, always prepared to fight with their neighbor. There is zero rationale for a two-state solution, and everyone in politics knows it. I doubt we will be able to find a long-term solution to this problem just after Hamas slaughtered so many innocent people. That the world isn’t banding together against this evil — the murder of the elderly, women and children — and calling for the life imprisonment of every Hamas leader is alarming, to say the least. Instead of the nations rallying against Hamas, they are instead upset with Israel? What has become of us? How has the world become so callous and devoid of reason? I am embarrassed by my own nation and its leadership. I am embarrassed that they are not more aggressively condemning Hamas as what it is — a terrorist organization at war with mankind in Israel. Many of us want for the Muslim Palestinian people what they want — a better life! But what their leadership just did has only harmed their cause for years to come. My heart grieves that the Israeli people have been living in this complex conflict for so long. I grieve that there is no quick or easy solution. Truly, the only paths I see for Israel moving forward involve more loss, sorrow and suffering. My encouragement to Israelis is this: Do not give up a single piece of your land. You must rid yourselves of Hamas and every terrorist organization in the West Bank and Gaza. Now is your time. It will only become increasingly harder to do so in the years ahead. You have prepared your nation for war, and now you must rid yourselves of the evil that has been perpetrated upon you for some 80 years. This is not a time to fear but to act! And swiftly. A long-term cease-fire is a horrible trap. The world will never come to your aid the way we all prayed it would. With or without the approval of the nations, Hamas must not be permitted to remain. Your enemies are all watching. This war will continue whether you want it to or not. With Gaza free of Hamas, you can begin the process of freeing the Muslim Palestinian people from the terror they have been living under for so long. Perhaps an Arab nation or two will work with you to take in some of their fellows? Imprison the criminals, sentence the terrorists, stand against the evil that has permeated this culture for so long, and you will have a great victory! Or go along with the nations and their ill-conceived plot and you will only know sorrow, terror, death and destruction for generations to come. As they say, “carpe diem” — seize the day! When will you ever have such an opportunity to free yourselves again? A countless many around the world are hoping and praying for you. A countless many are happy to support your cause of peace and freedom and will do so by volunteering, donating, praying and more. Be not afraid! Your God is with you. He is the same Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who lives and fights for you this day! We stand with Israel for victory and peace! Amen. Our Dear Friend David Silver Reporting from Mount Carmel, Israel recorded Dec 17th 2023:

By American Revival Press Staff December 15th 2023 There are nearly no other accounts proving the existence of the ancient city of Nineveh outside of the Holy Bible. When Academics carelessly and arrogantly toss around the Holy Scriptures as if fable or folklore, their crediblity is immediately on the line. There remains no other book more accurately accounting the history of the ancient world, in fact nothing that even comes close to our Holy Bible! Here we are again on our journey, rediscovering the wonders throughout the ancient world, throughout the Bible's ancient history and we are realizing how perfect the history recorded therein is actually! Hopefully you have taken the time to look into our articles about Noah's Ark, Gomorrah, Mount Sinai and the others! In this article we actually want to share a 30 min. youtube video explaining just how amazing what they found in the mid-1800's actually is! Because up until recently they have not been able to translate the Assyrian Cuniform - now we know just how perfectly accurate the word of God is! In short, three main discoveries are discussed in this video: 1. The Assyrian King, Sennacherib, was never found anywhere in antiquity or any ancient records except for the Bible, not until they were recently able to translate the Cuniform! 2. The story told by the Assyrians on their walls is entirely supported by Israeli archeology and within the Biblical account, 3. What the Bible foretold with regards to the ancient city of Nineveh came true, entirely. Enjoy this short video and we encourage you to read the story told by Isaiah the prophet in his book, Chapters 36 and 37, about Jerusalem's King Hezekiah facing off with the Assyrian King Sennacherib:

By Robert Anthony Dec 22nd 2023 Introduction - God has used Israel since the very beginning to tell His story.  He has chosen to communicate to man in many ways actually but one of His most preferred methods remains thru His Israel.  Time would fail me if I tried to count all the times He has revealed Himself thru His chosen people but one of my very favorites is right at the beginning with Abram (who received the breath of God and became, Abraham!). God led Abraham to believe that He wanted him to sacrifice Abraham’s child of promise, his heir and only son with Sarah, Isaac, but then at the last-minute stayed the sacrifice.  God has chosen to reveal Himself over and again thru these stories.  Many of us believe God sent His only Son to die for us, only God did not repent at the last-minute and gave up His only Son to be our sacrifice. And God did this work thru Israel!   What other truths and awe-inspiring mysteries has God chosen to speak to man thru the true-history and story of His Israel!?  A Countless many.   He declared all throughout the prophets that “For the sins of Israel going a whoring after other gods,” and “refusing His goodness and truth,” for over hundreds if not thousands of years, God was going to scatter His holy people to the nations!  And He did.  But all these are signs, meant to be interpreted, they are not what we read at face value.  We should come to know the intentions of God, together with His Love for the nations!  Perhaps God scattering His people was more than merely a punishment?  Perhaps there was more to this than we are commonly taught? Perhaps from the beginning God has had this perfect and flawless plan..?   These are some of the famous Christmas scriptures. Look at what the Hebrew Prophets of old prophesied of God and His desire to save the nations:  “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the nations (Gentiles, KVJ) seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Again, “I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations (Gentiles, KVJ)…” Still again, “And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the nations (Gentiles, KJV), that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth…”  God always had it in His mind to save the nations!   But what if the nations simply refuse God?   In many ways the whole of history can be summarized: God actively engaged, trying to convince the people (the nations) of His unending love but the people continually rejecting Him, His truth, His good-commands and His love… until this day.  The Beginning of the Great Return – We are in the days of the beginning of the Great Return but there are layers of understanding to see what a Huge and Monumental Work God is doing in these last days!  In many ways we are still in the beginning stages but the work is quickening .  Now that we understand that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, now that we understand we were intended to live with our God in paradise, in perfection from the start, without pain, suffering, death or sorrow – now we can begin to grasp the enormity of this Great Return !  God is returning us to His presence, for unto forever.   He never wanted to lose any  of us.  Not a one.  We left Him.  We, as a whole, followed after fables, false gods, empty lusts, deception and more.  We, all like sheep, have gone astray.  But our God has only just begun to bring us Home !  Read the beginning again, it tells in detail what our actual home is like.  We were never made for this world and now because of the mercy, which is death - we are merely passing thru this temporal life.  Soon, every single one of us that wants God, we will be home and those who don’t want Him - God will not overpower any of our freedom to choose.  But it’s God's intention to bring us all, Home .   This is still the beginning of this process.  Hebrews 12, “Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word , Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”  He is shaking everything for our own good .  When times are good, money is abundant, we are healthy, fat and overflowing, rarely do we turn to God with any sort of longing, desperation and zeal.  But in the tough times, in the shaking, we tend to humble ourselves, bend a knee and seek after our Maker and King.  This is an unfortunate reality of man.  That's why they say, and truthfully, “There are no Atheists in a foxhole”.   God promised this.  He promised to get our attention.  He promised that He would not leave us fatherless but that He would come for us, and Adopt  us!  This world was never our home.  God is coming to Return us Home .     The Greatest Ending to Any Story Ever Written - But there is more!  Technically this world was our home.  It was intended to be our home before this corruption destroyed everything.  So God is Returning this home of ours to its intended purpose, He is restoring the earth to what He had always wanted.  The Creation will return to paradise!  What exactly He is creating, or recreating upon it, He has seemed to have hidden from us, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” But we can read about Eden and marvel, contemplating the grandeur of the wonders that lie in store for us, who are God’s own children!   All of Creation awaits , the scripture (Romans 8) tells us.  What is the whole of creation waiting for!?  SIMPLY: To Be Redeemed !  To be restored.  To be RETURNED to what God intended in the first place.  And what was that?!  “God walked in the garden in the cool of the day.”  It’s not enough that the earth would return to paradise but even better, That Paradise would Return to the Earth!  This is a fundamental to the Bible's teaching, God will restore all things. If God merely gave us back perfection and yet decided to withhold Himself from us, what would become of us?  Would we this time care for His gift and cherish the blessing!?  Doubtfully.  At any rate, Paradise isn’t enough.  We would eventually bore with perfection. We would. We would find ourselves incomplete and lacking… and Why?  Say it with me, We were never intended to live separated in any way at all from our God and Father !  So our Father is returning for us!   It's not enough that He is restoring the creation.  It’s not enough that He is fulfilling all things of Scripture.  God is quite literally returning to the earth, for us!  We are living in the most exciting times, in all of time!  We are abundantly fortunate to have been created for such a time as this.  Will we be alive to see the heavens split open and the Son of Man coming on the clouds, riding a white horse, sword in His hand, followed by His army!?  A generation will live to see it!   God promised to end all these things of the curse: sin, death, loss, pain, suffering, darkness – He is putting an end to everything that came of the curse.  And all things will be made new!   (Great Song - Fitting to the Article!) A Generation will Return – “And then this gospel of the kingdom will be preached to all the nations and then the end will come…” Matthew 24 (paraphrased).  God is going to give all the nations one last chance to return.  He will send out His own, elect, out to all the nations, tribes, families and tongues and they will be given His power to proclaim the Truth: God loves you, He never wanted any of this for us and He is coming back soon.  There will be a new returning to the name of God .  Not the old religious names of God but the name of God made new , like we have never heard of Him before!  “This” gospel will be given to us like a gift, like life imparted to our bones, like a burning flame inside of our soul.  And many will find their way back to Him.   A generation will receive this.  It’s been prophesied, it’s been Promised !  “This generation will not pass away until all is fulfilled.” (Luke 21)  There will come and generation who will receive Him, they will return to Him and He to them!  His word is Yes  and Amen .  And all of this begins and ends with His… ISRAEL. Do you think He cast them off and then forgot about His own, Chosen ones…?  The greatest ending to any story ever written is being performed before our very eyes!  (But only those with eyes to see and ears to hear can understand it.) Daniel prophesied, “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”  God is bringing His people home.  He is quite literally returning us to Himself.  And what began with Israel, will end with Israel.  I will explain more in Part Two…   For now, let the Gentiles come into their fullness (Romans 11).  Prophecy among yourselves, fan this flame of hope into a burning inferno, it’s time for the bride to make herself ready .  God will save His own elect.  And the bride must make herself ready.  When the bridegroom returns, will the virgins be waiting and ready!?   Come into your fullness Gentile Church…   Your time is now…

By Robert Anthony January 14, 2023   These are the days of the Great Return!  And anyone who cares to see will see large portions of scripture being fulfilled.  What I mean to say is that prophecy that was proclaimed 2,000 and 2,500 years ago is being fulfilled right now!  It’s absolutely remarkable to consider.  We are the generation to watch these things that were foretold millennia ago, come to life!   ISRAEL, God’s Chosen – At the forefront of the list of incredible prophecies being fulfilled is, Israel - its people and its land!  Israel basically ceased from being a nation once they were carried away into captivity by Babylon.  They were something of a government for a time but their nation was gone about two thousand five hundred years ago.  But God promised that Israel would return!   What a story!  Have you ever heard such a thing!?  No other nation in recorded history has been wiped off the map even for a few hundred years and then returned.  But Israel, its land forgotten and its people scattered to the four winds of the earth, has returned – just as God promised throughout the prophets and in the writings of the New Covenant Apostles!  Even Jesus Christ prophesied Israel’s return, “When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place”… In order for that temple to be rebuilt and that abomination to be placed in the holy place , the nation of Israel would have to return!   Several things must come to pass that are essential for it to be the last days.  I will write about this more at a later date but here they are now, in short: severe trouble with the weather, lots of wars and rumors of wars, economic distress, signs in the heavens (atmosphere, sky), famines, plagues (Covid), pestilences, the world turning on the people of God, it must be “like it was in the days of Noah”, Israel must become a nation, their people must return home and then rebuild the temple.  In order for it to truly be the end of days all these things must come to pass at about the same time – as they have within this generation .   And what a mess are the politics around Zionism!  But why would the world have such issue about a people returning to their land!?  Little upon the earth provokes such emotion, impassioned debate, division and even war as the Jews/Israelites returning to their home.  ( I have written much already on the subject.  I’m trying not to repeat myself.) There must in fact be a real and tangible spiritual war waging around this minute piece of land – how else could it command such attention and power over the world’s politics!?   Zionism, Essential to the Christian Faith – If we, as Christians, love God how can we not love what He loves!?  I think a large portion of Christianity needs to reread the whole of scripture, keeping in mind God chose  a people for His purposes and birthed salvation from them!!  Religion does not accurately define true Judaism or true Christianity.  The Jews are a family, not merely a religion.  This man, Abraham was a friend of God’s and became heir of a great and everlasting promise – that God would bring salvation to the earth thru Abraham’s children.  How some Christians can possibly believe that God would cast aside the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when He was thru using  them, boggles the mind!  The God I have come to know would never do such a thing to His own children… ever .   The division and war within Christianity over Israel is an ugly, false-religious war.  And this is not the only false-religious war within Christianity – the spirit of the Pharisee’s (who killed Christ) is alive and even thriving within Christendom.  Paul writes that in the last days a kind of Christianity will come that will be nothing like what Jesus gave to the Jews (remember they were All Jews who received the gospel originally), “having a form of Godliness but denying it’s power”.  Paul wrote extensively on the subject in both of his letters to Timothy.  And this is yet more proof we are living in the end of times – exactly what Paul prophesied has come true in this generation .   For the first two hundred years or more, Christianity was headquartered out of Jerusalem!  The founders of Christianity and those first Apostles were All  Jews!  It might seem like an oversimplification but it is actually profound, The Messiah was (and is) a Jew!  When this Jew (Messiah) returns to the earth to rule and reign for one-thousand years, He is going to rule and reign from His land, Holy Israel !  Considering these things and more, how can any Christian believe that God is done with the people of Israel and their land!?  To me this is absolute proof that there are some very wicked spirits alive and destroying upon the earth.   Absolute Proof of God’s Goodness! God promised a great and many things to man throughout the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments).  But watching the Jews return to their land, watching the Jews return to Messiah - these are some of the best and most wonderful proofs we have that God always keeps His Word!  It’s a long and intriguing study, perhaps I will write about it at a later time but the Jews basically left Christianity a few hundred years after Christ returned to His Father. There grew a great divide between the Jewish believers in Christ and the Gentile Church.  The divide was mostly over laws and customs, stemming from Jewish cultural issues.  Truly this is what Paul the Apostle warned about in his letter to the Galatians.  The Jews wanted to try and live out both covenants – adhering to the law, all the while preaching salvation by grace and faith in Christ Jesus the Lord.  Also, there was a great divide over Jerusalem and whether or not it was the headquarters of Christianity.  These foundations of the Church split Christianity a few hundred years after Christ between Jew and Gentile believer.  By about 3-400 years after Jesus, Messianic-Jewish believers practically vanished from off the face of the earth.    And what significant event took place around that time, you history scholars?  The creation of the Roman Catholic Church , by Emperor Constantine.  To me it is very revealing that the world plunged into the dark ages just after the Jews left relationship with their Messiah.  (If you don’t believe me that this actually happened, study it out for yourselves.  It is an amazing study!) And as the Jews were leaving their Messiah and returning to mostly a false  Judaism (in that they held to the laws of men, Talmudic Tradition, rather than the teaching of God thru Moses and the prophets), the world fell into one of its darkest times in history!  There is a principal here as Paul lays out in Romans 11, the Jews returning to their land and their God is a blessing to the whole world!  And their departure from their land and their God must therefore be a cursing…   It is a matter of fact, the centuries following the Jews departure from Messiah and their land came the dark ages… and then the monstrous Inquisition : the Catholic Church hunting down “Jews” and “heretics” and torturing and murdering them, by some estimates as high as 30-million or more!  But God said, “I will not cast them away”.  Even if they  left Him, He would return them unto Himself, it was/is His covenant with them.   On the heels of the Inquisition came the discovery of The New World, by the Jews .  It is almost a matter of fact at this point in time that Christopher Columbus was a Jew ( here is a great article on the subject )!  And the banker who financed the expedition, because the king/queen of Spain were broke, was 100% Jewish!  (So, if you enjoy the United States of America, Mexico and the America’s as we know it? THANK A JEW !) God scattered His people to the four winds of the earth for all their rebellion and disobedience, just like He said He would.   But at the same time as scattering them, God has been working wonders thru His people all throughout history.  And then, centuries later, He started to go after them anew , revealing the Son of glory to a new generation of Israelites!  This also is a wonderful history to study!  Around the mid-1800’s at the same time as the rebirth of Zionism came another phenomenon!  Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God risen from the dead, started to come to a few Rabbi’s and Jews throughout Russia and Ukraine!  These Rabbi’s and others among the Jews would see Him in their dreams and visions, and suddenly, as if a veil was pulled from off their eyes, they realized the Christian-Jesus was in fact their Jewish- Meshiach (Messiah)!   In the same way God returned His people to their land, He returned His people to the fullness of their God!  Just as Paul had foretold, Romans 11:1 “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of  the tribe of Benjamin.”  Read all of Romans 11.  Paul tells us God’s intention towards His chosen-people.   And then ALL ISRAEL will be Saved! In conclusion: These last days (as foretold all throughout scripture) can be summarized as THE GREAT RETURN .  God is returning everything to the way He intended it in the first place.  He is returning the garden to the earth.  He is about to make All Things New!  He is returning the Christians and those who have wandered away to their God, to their Savior.  God is returning His kingdom to the earth.  He is returning His chosen-people to Himself.  And, perhaps the greatest return of them all, God Himself is about to Return to the Earth!   One of my favorite passages of the entire Bible, Romans 11:25,26, “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so ALL ISRAEL  shall be saved…” Blindness, IN PART, has happened to Israel… UNTIL the fulness of the Gentiles come in (to be God’s children) and then… sometime before the end… ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED!  So exciting to me, Why?  Because these are literally the times we are living in!! The Jews are returning to Israel just as the Bible promised.  The Jews are returning to their God, just as God promised.  Therefore, it must be true that God is about to return to the earth!!!  Amazing that God has given us so much Absolute Proof .  He is returning to us!  We very well could be the generation that sees heaven opened, the sky departing as a scroll, and Messiah coming out of the clouds, on a white horse, followed by an army, coming to rule and reign from Israel!!!  His New Jerusalem!   Some wonderful things we, as Gentile Christians, can do... according to scripture: Help the Jews/Israelites return home .  God calls them home!  It’s very clear all throughout scripture, Ezekiel 36:16-28+ God is calling His people home – and they have only ever had one home, Israel .  Here is an excellent interview to watch to learn more:     Be Encouraged - Everything is being fulfilled.  God is coming for us!  He is coming to save us from this broken world!  He is about to return and restore everything to the way He always wanted it – The Lord will be our God and we will be His people, living and walking among Him upon the earth!  Surreal to even be writing this because this very well could be happening in our lifetime.  But there is much work to do.  The gospel must be proclaimed among all the nations!  And what is the gospel of the kingdom?  I promise you it fundamentally includes and is built upon the Jews!  As God reveals this gospel to us, in its’ FULLNESS, revival will come – and God will send His elect to the nations to proclaim the truth – and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14).  These are the final hours, as all things are fulfilled, let us be about our Father’s business – that when we stand in front of Him, face to face, there is no shame, no fear, only love, because we know we live this life for Him!! God bless you brothers and sisters in Christ! God bless you Jewish brothers and sisters!! God is returning for us!! Time to get ourselves ready!! With all Godly love and affection, With all my heart hoping to inspire you, Robert Anthony.

By Robert Anthony Jan 27th 2024   I don’t know how to write this because I have so much dirt on the Republican politicians leading the party in Michigan.  I have a lot on my heart and a lot to say…. I guess I’ll start somewhat at the beginning… I have had run-in’s with Pat Colbeck, Ron Armstrong and others leading Michigan’s conservatives throughout my time in Michigan politics.  It remains very difficult for me to understand these people and what exactly they are doing with our state?  (Left Pat Colbeck to the right Mike Lindell) I met Pat Colbeck at the Cyber Symposium. Within moments of meeting me he was encouraging me To Not  do anything pertaining to an Election Audit in Michigan because “Stand Up Michigan” was already doing it!?  Which was a bold-faced lie.  Not only was Stand Up not involved with anything to do with audits but Ron Armstrong, the man who swindled Stand Up away from Garrett Soldano and Kevin Skinner, has never, not once, publicly acknowledged that they stole 2020 from the American People!  And yet so many continue to prop up this Stand Up organization in Michigan… it grieves me. Colbeck sits on the board of Stand Up.  Perhaps he recently dropped off but for years he was intimately involved with them and Ron Armstrong their CEO.  We still don’t really know where they get most of their funding from (DeVos?) but we know Mike Shirkey has funded Stand Up.  We know that Shirkey has given Stand Up half-a-million at least.  And who is Mike Shirkey? I’m glad you asked.   (Left, Ron Armstrong to the right Mike Shirkey) Shirkey, Colbeck  and McBroom , three Michigan State Senators who had various roles on the Michigan Senate Elections Committee.  Colbeck Co-Chaired the elections committee for a few years, the same years   SOS Ruth Johnson (GOP) purchased a whole pile of (Dominion) election machines .  Shirkey, Colbeck and McBroom, three close friends known to frequent the Michigan House of Prayer together, were a major part of running the election system in Michigan over the course of the past 8 or so years.  Of course, we all know Shirkey was the State Senator who came out against “The Big Steal”!  Of course, we all know McBroom wrote his infamous “ McBroom Report ” – obviously they were not in a hurry to audit themselves!  They literally were a part of purchasing the machines and creating the election data systems! (Ed McBroom left with Michigan Gov Whitmer, right) Shirkey is interesting also because of his ties to China .  He publicly denied making any money from China – even though a Michigan-based reporter exposed all this .  Shirkey was found out.  I am personally unaware of just how much business he does with China  but clearly a large portion of his business is with the Chinese.  And Shirkey is in manufacturing.  Someone should really look into this, exactly what is Shirkey manufacturing with the Chinese? In today’s political climate, might not be wise to elect politicians with such close relationships to the very nation that wants to destroy us… (Unless they were never elected in the first place?  Which is very possible.)   Of course, Armstrong and Colbeck came out against our Audit and DeCertify movements!  But Colbeck is the most surprising because he keeps showing up at all the events touting election integrity!?  Colbeck talking about election integrity is like the fox with the secret back door into the chicken coup talking about protecting chickens!  I was personally there to watch "Christian" Colbeck undermine all our efforts to fix 2020 and save Michigan’s election system.  He went out of his way to disparage my name, hardly knowing me at all, making up stories to ensure there would be no support for several of our efforts.  But he did the same underhanded things to Rep. Carra when Steve was writing the bill to Audit the 2020 Presidential Election.  Making sure that audit would never happen.  I am intimately aware of Colbeck’s involvement in destroying every chance we had in auditing 2020’s broken election.   And why would he not!? Doesn’t he have to protect himself and all his buddies?  I know it's hard to read and hard to believe because so many have respected these guys!  McBroom , the last time I checked, still sits on the Elections Board with, ironically, the ex-SOS now MI Senator Ruth Johnson .  You can’t make this stuff up!?   I feel terrible about what is happening in Michigan.  But anyone who challenges the status quo is going to catch a beating!  Some very powerful people in both parties will go to great extremes to make sure this status quo doesn’t ever change.  Remember this fact, The Republicans created the election system in Michigan !  When we go and open all the books, to really look into what happened with our election system – we are going to see a long list of Republican names throughout that history!  Snyder, Johnson, Colbeck, Shirkey, McBroom… all GOP.  But there are more who are involved...  I don’t know who has been cheating worse over the years?  Maybe the Democrats used the broken system the GOP created to steal the state from us? This history really must be looked into. After we get rid of the machines and centralized-computerized, election system. I don’t know if DePerno was ever really our champion?  I like to think he was.  But he stopped supporting all Election Integrity efforts once he started running for office.  Many of us approached him for support but he just wasn’t interested in anything but winning his  campaign.  And that maybe isn’t so terrible, if he was going to use that power as he had promised us all.  But it’s hard to know one way or the other.  Why didn’t he fight for the election that was stolen from him?  I approached him about it.  But he simply wasn’t interested.  If they steal elections, as he so often said, Why then didn’t he fight for his own stolen election? (Kristina Karamo MIGOP Chair left, Matt DePerno right) Karamo also was funny about what she supported when she was running for MI-SOS.  I personally gave her campaign more money than I had ever given any candidate, ever.  I really thought she would fight for our elections.  But she never supported anything we  were doing: not the Audit’s, not the Decertify movement, nothing, at least not publicly.  It’s hard to judge why someone does what they do, intention is certainly very hard to judge.  But if they were interested in actually fixing the broken election system, one would think they would have done something about it, more than just campaign.  Now at the MIGOP what has Karamo done to win back a free and fair election? And shore up 2024?  Perhaps she has secret plans?  But publicly there is not much to talk about. There is so much proof we have of the fraudulent election system in Michigan but perhaps this topic has become the elephant in the room? The topic that no politician wants to talk about because… why?  Well, why  is the more complicated question.  But the simple fact remains, our Republican politicians in Michigan do not want to deal with this issue and clearly many of them have been complicit.   Am I against DePerno or Karamo?  By no means.  I consider them both friends and a Huge Leap forward in Michigan Republican politics.  I am writing about them to say that they should have banded together – and banded together with THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN .  To empower people throughout the state and actually LEAD A MOVEMENT .  I told DePerno I would support him in doing so.  This conversation turned out to be what ended our short-lived working relationship together.  Still surprises me to this day.  But even with those disagreements, I wish he had won!!  I would still help him if he got back involved in the fight to save our elections!   Karamo, I would help her too!  But she is under such fire, I don’t think elections are much on her mind at the moment.  But 2024 is very much on my mind!  If we don’t win the White House back!!?  And Biden remains in the White House another 4-years!?  What will become of our nation!?   I wish I had good advice for Karamo.  But they  were never going to help her succeed as Chair.  Personally, I wish she had been 10 times more bold and assertive in the role, going after election integrity with the same zeal and fervor she had when she was campaigning.  But it’s a moot point now.  I was never against her and I am not against her now.  But I do grieve for Michigan. My advice for Michigan, ALL ROADS LEAD TO ELECTION INTEGRITY  (which is to say, All roads lead to fixing our broken election system)!  Michigan, as a swing state, is of critical importance that cannot be overstated.  We would vote Republican Presidents into the White House for decades to come if it wasn’t for our broken election system.  Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota (Colorado, Arizona, New Hampshire, New Mexico and more,) all have huge Republican populations but these “swing” states are filled with corruption, especially when it comes to the state and federal elections.   Listening to the Q-Anoner’s there is some super-secret plan and “everything will be revealed” and “Trump will be back in Office” so just “sit back and watch”.  I have been fighting against this narrative since I first entered politics.  Large groups of people throughout Michigan and the nation were living in a sort of dreamland-fantasy world, at best half-heartedly engaging with our movements because of this secret Q plan.  They predetermined everything was under control and they had little to no responsibility to get involved and support us.  Do I still hope I am wrong!?  Absolutely.  Do I wish now and again there is some secret Q-plan that will be revealed and everything will be fixed, healed and restored!?  Without a doubt.  But I give it less than a 1% chance that the Q-Anoners are right.    Wouldn’t it be funny if China was behind the whole Q-Anon phenomenon!? Many people I talk with about it believe Q is a US three-letter agency psy-op - but whoever is behind it, someone very clever, organized and powerful is working to destroy our Republic. And the corruption that is our entire political system is enabling even aiding in that demise, even as I write to you now.  Whoever it is against us, they are well-funded, well-prepared and very cunning in their strategy, planning and execution.   I started the show “ All Politics is Local ” with the intention to convince as many of the good people as I can into local politics, especially.  Looking at the absolute failure that has been this Republican Congress I put no faith in national politics solving this problem at all (President Trump excluded).   Local Politics can stand against this tyranny.  Just look at what is happening now with Texas and their border!  The Governors banding together against tyranny, FINALLY!  But then again, what if this is what “they” want?  What if “their” goal is to divide our country and get us fighting?  What if their goal is civil war?  And “they” know they could never take us head-on but that their only hope is to destroy us from within!?  We must be very very careful right now with these events unfolding.  We must not go to civil war!  We must pray for the Governors’ wisdom.  We must pray for Governor Abbott but also the other GOP Governors standing against this lawlessness.  This stand must not devolve into civil war.  We must fight against this evil with extreme wisdom and poise .  Our side fights with morality, good-character and the law which in many ways does shackle us from a wide range of options.  The evil we are against throws our sense of morality, conscience and truth out the window – and will go to any extremes necessary to defeat us and ruin the nation.  It truly is not a “fair fight” and we must recognize this going in. We must pray for a series of miracles.  Both within Michigan and throughout the nation!  We are not in good shape coming into 2024 elections.  We need EVERYONE TO VOTE TRUMP!  We need to biggest turn out, by far, ever!  And still, we will need a series of miracles to win the White House back.  But our God does miracles.    I will close with the best news!  The best news I see is that a new generation of wonderful people just got into politics!  Perhaps some of the best people to ever get into American politics have just entered the arena.  A lot of what is happening now we truly will not see for several years.  If we, as a movement, continue, what will the nation look like 5 and 10 years from now!?  There is no telling.  But the path to winning this nation back once and for all, truly goes thru local politics .    We need to be mentored and mentor as we run for office.  We need to play both the short game and the long game at the same time.  We need to keep our vision focused on the end goal but all the while staying firmly planted in today.  It’s hard to do if we lose our motivation and hope.    Keep encouraging the men and women next to you.  Be good to those who are fighting at your left and right side.  It’s harder to build than it is to tear down.  Let me repeat that again, IT IS MUCH HARDER TO BUILD SOMETHING THAN IT IS TO TEAR IT DOWN.    Ecclesiastes tells us, there is a time and a purpose to all things under heaven . There is a time to tear down but then there is also a time to build anew!  Keep these things in mind as we move forward!  Be very thoughtful and prayerful about how we go about building our New America!   I’m going to end with a prayer for Kristina Karamo, “Lord, I pray for Kristina.  If You  have her in this position, I pray that You would keep her there!  I pray that no weapon formed against her shall prosper and that every tongue that rises against her, she will condemn.  But Father if You have something bigger and better for her than MIGOP Chair?  If you have some even greater work, help her to see it.  Sometimes it’s the hidden things that have the greater glory and honor in reality.  Guard her heart, Lord.  She has been under attack for quite a while.  Help her to hear Your voice even with all these voices around her shouting for her attention, shouting for influence.  Give her Your miraculous insight and wisdom in what to do now.  You are the Living God who loves us.  Love Kristina Father… In Jesus Name.  Amen.”   Ok. Last prayer.  “Lord, I lift up Governor Abbott. I so appreciate him taking this stand for his state and the nation.  I pray you give him supernatural wisdom.  He is going to need some amazing strategy and foresight to keep this thing he is doing from unraveling and descending into chaos. Those who he fights against do not fight fair neither do they fight for anything good but only destruction.  Give him and the other Governors incredible wisdom and even foreknowledge to know what their enemy will try to do and that they will be able to outmaneuver them even before they do it!  Surround them with protection and your angelic host.  Let no harm come near them, in Jesus name.”   “And save our nation Father.  Restore President Trump to the White House and fix our broken election system.  Turn the hearts of America back to you.  Let the people of this nation no longer be content with lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes and the pride of life – but change all our hearts to desire the eternal and beautiful pursuits of life: family, friends, community, a righteous nation and relationship with You, Father!  Do a quick work in our broken country Father.  Send your Spirit.  Save us.   “In Jesus name.  Amen.”   Still grieving for Michigan.   Praying for our Revival!! - Robert

By Robert Anthony January 31st 2024   I’m very grateful to MI Rep. Steve Carra for inviting me into his world and later to those meetings, drafting the bill to audit the 2020 Michigan Presidential Election.  I learned so much and quickly, it was my first real experience in activism and politics.   Jesus once said, “Do as they say but don’t do as they do,” (Matthew 23:3) referring to the Pharisees, those (religious) rulers of the Jews in His time.  I would say this applies to much if not all of conservative-politics in America.  What they say is wonderful!  We could print up T-Shirts and bumper stickers, trademarking and making millions on their catchy slogans and one-liners!  But again, do as they say but not as they do .   I walked out of that first meeting drafting the audit bill with Rep. Carra to hear Ex-State Senator Pat Colbeck start ripping into the bill, tearing it apart and rattling off all the reasons why it will never go anywhere.  I was shocked to say the least.  In the meeting Colbeck was 100% on the team.  Making wonderful remarks and adding so much value to the conversation.  Within seconds of leaving the meeting he was destroying all our hope and enthusiasm for what we were all  working so diligently to accomplish.  And I called him out on it.   “Thank You Pat Colbeck”.  In a close to three-hour conversation with him as he was traveling to Northern Michigan, I learned so much about American politics. And it’s as if “they” have all attended the same brainwashing school of deception, coercion and misdirection.  And “they” are so very good at it.  Rep. Carra was never going to stand up to this bully  and Colbeck knew it!  Carra was about to launch his campaign for Congress and he needed Colbeck’s support (or at a minimum Colbeck not as an enemy).  Bullies have always bothered me. You want to know why we are losing this nation?  It isn’t merely broken-elections.  It isn’t merely the corruption from the Obama/Biden Administration, the DOJ, the FBI, etc.  We aren’t losing this nation merely because all our politicians are bought and paid for… We are losing this nation because America has all but lost its heart and soul.  There is no love left and where there is no love there is no light, no truth and no honor – and but little left (only a remnant) truly worth saving. When you get into politics in today’s America you have to agree to certain (unspoken) rules – someone or some group becomes your boss(es) and they at first gently start to dictate what you can and can not say – and then more directly, telling you what you can and can not fight for.  For instance, everyone knows the Supreme Court will not rule against the machines.  Let me repeat this for effect, THE SUPREME COURT WILL NOT RULE AGAINST THE MACHINES.  “But Robert, how can you say that!?”  …because I am a good listener.   I have quickly been brought back up to speed on much of civics from these same deceptive-publicans fighting to control the narrative.  “The Supreme Court is not the law-maker” and I have heard it loud and clear for the past three years.  And yet, everyone still talks about the Supreme Court as if some saving grace!?  How many cases have “we” as a movement tried to bring before the Supreme Court regarding the stolen 2020 election?  Maybe more than a dozen?  Mike Lindell, for example, I know was talking about it for more than 18 months, his case(s) going to change everything (9-0!).  But the Supreme Court has the easiest out, the easiest way to wash their hands of all of this.  Do you know what it is?  Very few laws on the books about our election systems and even less about those machines .   This Supreme Court is master-class in the art of passing the buck.  With their Roe v. Wade decision, they could have easily ruled against the murder of unborn children.  It’s right there in the preamble of the US Constitution, “We the people  of the United States…” and then “Establish Justice ”.  Real People are in those wombs that are being slaughtered, who are finding no justice for their right to live !  But again, in the Declaration of Independence even more boldly, in its Introduction and Preamble, talking about Laws of Nature  and Nature’s God … here is a law of nature for you, Supreme Court, if someone doesn’t extinguish that embryo in that woman’s womb, a baby will be born 99+% of the time!    The Declaration continues even stronger, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights , that among these are LIFE …”   Our Court most Supreme  in the land literally washed their hands of saving the unborn and passed the buck to the states!?  And if this Supreme Court is so concerned about state’s rights, why didn’t they back Texas last week when Texas was guarding their citizenry from an unruly Executive-Federal Branch, who is laboring to destroy our nation!?  That situation can be surmised, States-Rights  too, SC . But we actually believe this Court is going to take up a case about those machines, without much precedent and make a ruling so bold, against the powers that be, and risk it all!?  Do I hope they do…?  Absolutely.  But they have already rejected all our cases thus far on grounds of standing mostly.  And Why?  BECAUSE CONGRESS IS THE LAWMAKER! Congress is the Law-maker. Which brings me to perhaps my number one point in the article, WHERE ON EARTH IS OUR GOP-LEAD CONGRESS!!?   Maybe it would help if I rattle off a list of all the conservative-Christians running this Congress to add some emphasis?  “Congressmen, none of us are against you personally, we all understand the intensity of the hour and how much pressure you all must be under (especially those of you who genuinely care). We just hope you leave behind your nonchalant-apathy and actually start to fight for us!?”   Congress makes law.  You want a ruling (Mr Lindell) against the machines, Go To Congress !  We want laws on the books completely overhauling our election system?  Congress would write such a law.  We want laws protecting our unborn children?  That’s Congress also.  We want laws shutting down our border?  Congress.  We want to go after the criminals who stole the White House from us in 2020? Congress has the power to pass laws and get this done!  Not the Supreme Court.  I have learned well from these politicians, it’s basically Civics 101 .   So why all the theater!?  “Let’s go to the Supreme Court!” they practically shout it from the rooftops!  Again, could I be wrong and not “trusting the plan” as the Q-folks rehearse over and again like a mantra?  Yes. I could be wrong.  And wouldn’t that be WONDERFUL!!  I would WELCOME the correction and humbling.  The problem is, I have so much ammunition against such a hypothesis.  And the years continue to tick on by… YEARS!   You see, no one will speak the truth .  This is fundamental.  And I have learned this too from these politicians over the past three years.  Remember “Do as they say but not as they do.” There is no money in lobbying Congress to act on our behalf.  There is almost no way to fundraise for something like that. One could however raise an untold fortune hiring lawyers and filing lawsuits nationwide, “on the behalf of the American people”.  And whether or not those lawsuits go anywhere is, as they say, a moot-point – because – the spectacle of the whole thing could be enough to placate the people, pacify them and maybe even keep them in line, especially if we continually remind the crowd that “they” are all against us and continually keep stoking those fears .   Welcome to politics in today’s declining United’ish States of America.   Personally, I am seriously considering throwing in the towel and pushing all my chips in on Jesus .  Now I will say that the Lord very obviously got me into politics in the first place.  I might do a show sometime to tell my story?  It would be too long to write out.  In short, did I ever imagine President Trump’s own movement (throughout Michigan and beyond) refusing to support my work to restore him to the White House?  and worse, publicly striving to ruining everything I was doing!?  Never.  I was mentally prepared to handle the attacks of the Democrats and old-guard Republicans even but to be continually shut down and then pursued by many within our own movement!?  That, I was not prepared for.   I will take to the grave so much of the dirt I have on this movement.  But let me be very clear, the people, us everyday citizens fighting for the nation out of the goodness of our hearts, our love for our fellow man and our devotion to God and the all things of salvation – the American people are still worth fighting for!  And I intend to.  I just don’t know what to do next. I have been praying and praying.  For a time, it was a little all-consuming and I had to lay it down some.  I was working on these things often 12-15 hours a day, my health was failing and I gained something like 65-70 lbs.!  I was drinking way too much coffee and eating junk, often on the road and pouring everything I had into saving Michigan and our nation!  I had to return to my priorities and take care of my family.  Now, looking towards Nov. 2024, I simply don’t see a path (right now) to taking back the White House.  I have written on this much already .  But I have plans and ideas that would greatly increase our chances!  And let me say I would gladly hand off these plans to any of the big-guys in our movement and let them run with it (if they would convince me that they are genuine in their pursuit)!  And I have tried to do so over the past couple years.   But, What on earth is going on in our nation!? It's so confusing. How do we save it from this rapid decline and implosion?  Perhaps it’s time for me to return to the things of God and throw in the towel, thinking any  politics might save the country.  Perhaps God put me into politics to show me clearly that politics will never solve this problem?  I’m very open to that.   But any judgment I have stops at the Christian-leadership, especially those in DC.    I have had so many personal experiences with so many of them and I’m always left grieving.  They say all these wonderful and powerful and truthful things in their speeches and back them up without  action.  They know what is right and often talk about it but do not do anything to change the status quo.  They “love their honor and respect in the marketplaces” more than anything; they “like white-washed tombs” are beautiful on the outside but on the inside are “dead men’s bones”; they “bind us with burdens” too heavy to be carried, burdens that they themselves will never carry; they flatter, maneuver, manipulate and plot insomuch to always remain in power.  (Matthew 23) I just described a large percentage of the Christians in power throughout our nation, and especially those in DC.    We really must pray for them – they truly need a revival! And An American Revival !   In Closing – Congress must Act!  And Act Immediately!   They have the power to open up the books: look into 2020, look into what happened that fateful day on January 6th, audit our election system, remove the machines and save our Republic (re-election be damned!) I would like to remind the Christians in Congress and throughout the government, “We will all stand before God.  Every single soul on earth will come before Him .  And those books will be opened.  We will all receive a judgment: whether or not we were Christ’s in truth (Matthew 7:21-23), what actually was hidden in our hearts, what we did will be judged, Period .  And we will not argue or debate it standing before Him, His Thone and His Truth.  All will be exposed and made known by the power of His Light and Goodness. ”To Congress especially, I write, “This is your moment to shine like never before!  Hero’s (plural) can be born in this hour!  Some of the greatest stories in American history could be written this year, if a few of you will “love not your lives” and bet it all on JESUS ! and His Salvation.  Do you want to be remembered as a coward and professional-publican for all of history?  Or do you want to be known as one of those who laid down their lives at God’s holy altar of Salvation for the people!?  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to run up to Jesus when we finally stand before Him face-to-face without shame, knowing we give it our all, withholding nothing!” “Congressmen, Goliath is much more frail than you realize.  He is an easy target, way overly confident and he probably drank way too much last night!  God will supernaturally direct our stone to his forehead.  The fear is just loud and distracting.  The fact is, we fear all the wrong things."  “Fear not those who can take your life and then after that have no power over you but fear the One who after taking your life can cast your soul into hellfire.” (Matthew 10:28)”   “This is a final hour for us.  We can never again return to 2024 and do it all differently.  I pray this message pricks your hearts, encourages your faith and provokes you to good works!  Go and war for your people… the people of whom God entrusted in your care.”   “I am praying for you Congressmen.” Let’s all devote time this week to praying for our men and women who hold such a lofty position, and have such responsibility.  We all must be praying for them immediately.  And pray for the Governors.   Time is of the essence, More to come, Robert.

(Originally Published at https://wethecounty.org/michigan-laws-enshrine-transgenderism/ ) By Guest Contributor, Mike Smith , Founder, WeTheCountry.org February 2nd 2023 The battle for our children, and our freedom, is first and foremost spiritual, and then pragmatic. We must operate in both realms in order to have victory. We The County understands and operates from this premise. Our children are being indoctrinated by the politicians in Michigan who have embraced a Marxist-Luciferian ideology. Their mantra: “We are coming for your children, they belong to us! ” They have written laws to enforce their indoctrination as this ideology has been injected into our education system through Diversity-Emotional-Inclusion curriculum and Social-Emotional Health counselors. Many in the education system are not aware of DEI and SEH containing Marxist and Luciferian ideologies. “The Deity”  (pictured above) is set up in Port Austin at Bird Creek Farms Restaurant. The artist calls it; “A super being connected to nature.”  Murawski the restaurant’s owner said; “This opens us up to talking about modern true deities that are around us every day.” Paganism is linked to Luciferianism. Both embrace “deities” the gods and goddesses of the occult who stand in opposition to God’s Word. These things are an attempt to “normalize” and then exalt paganism. Luciferians have set up their deity-idols around the state and work covertly with government officials. People do not admit to being Luciferian, just as the Marxists do not admit to being Marxist. Just as Murawski downplayed the occultic-pagan significance of “The Deity,” in an attempt to normalize it, so goes the Marxist-Luciferians in downplaying the horror of a 12-year-old boy being coerced into mutilating his genitals and taking life-altering drugs the rest of his life, all the while hiding the truth and being encouraged by the school to lie to his parents.  A person can operate in Marxist-Luciferian ideologies without realizing it, as this perspective is being used to formulate legislation. The Deity has the body of a woman and the head of ram which is a male goat. This represents transhumanism and transgenderism. This is a “golden idol” just like in Babylon (Daniel 3) the people are told to bow down and worship as “the music plays.” Pedophiles are singing the song  “We are coming for your children” CREEPY: Gay Choir Sings “We’re Coming For Your Children” – YouTube and they want to force us to sing along as our Michigan legislature writes laws enshrining transgenderism, a Luciferian doctrine. 1) Michigan House Bill 4474, states if you use the wrong pronoun and a transgender person feels intimidated, you could be found guilty of a “hate crime” which would be considered a felony, with 2 years in jail and up to a $25,000.00 dollar fine. 2) House Bill 4616 “A mental health professional shall not engage in conversion therapy with a minor.” This means if a minor who is having gay tendencies or gender confusion seeks help to be straight, or be at peace with their natural birth gender, a health professional cannot help them. This violates God’s Word; Gen 1:27 “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” One of the core beliefs of Luciferianism is to defy and violate the Word of God. 3) State of Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) now includes “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes. The ELCRA forbids discrimination in employment, housing, places of public accommodation, and education. This means boys who identify as girls will be able to play on girl’s sport teams, go into the girl’s locker room, bathrooms, live in women’s dorms at colleges, go into battered-women’s shelters, and women’s prisons. There is no religious exemption to this law. Religious schools may be forced to follow this law. Doctors will be forced to administer puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and to perform “sex reassignment” surgery on gender dysphoric children and adults, despite their religious beliefs and moral convictions. Mental health professionals will be coerced into facilitating a gender-confused child’s “transition.” Employers might be required to include “gender affirming care” (including surgeries) in their health insurance plans which would most likely raise premiums, even for churches, mosques and other religious organizations. These three Bills and others like them, violate our God-given unalienable Rights of free speech and religion. Our Michigan Constitution in Article I, Section 4 (protecting free exercise of religion) as well as Article I, Section 5 (protecting freedom of expression) do offer protection from this abuse, but if we do not “invoke” them, the unconstitutional laws that enshrine transgenderism will stand. Signing THE PLEDGE to protect God’s Children ( wethecounty.org/pledge ) is invoking our God-given unalienable rights; it is a decree of our intentions.  This is spiritual and pragmatic warfare. Our children are being sexually indoctrinated and groomed for pedophiles as they fight to remove the age of consent.  They have told us, “We are coming for your children; they belong to the State.” This is a powerful prophetic statement that will come to full fruition if we do nothing. When a person in governmental authority makes a prophetic statement, writes laws, and signs them to enforce what they have said, our silence yields  to their “spoken word,” “written laws” and “signatures” giving them authority over us and our children through default. Coming to Michigan? The Director of Mental Health at the University of California San Francisco said there is a new gender category called “Minotaur” which is half-human and half-animal having the head of a bull. Is “The Deity” an idol prophesying this new coming gender category “Minotaur” and promoting transhumanism? A video shown at a hospital for DEI training, showed children 3 and 4 years old explaining why they know they are “transgender” alluding to the possibility of starting sex changes at this age. “California’s Senate Judiciary Committee  voted  8-2 on Tuesday night (with one abstention) to pass Assembly Bill 957, which would characterize a “parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.” The measure would alter Section 3011 of the  California Family Code  to require judges to consider whether or not parents “affirm” a child’s “transgender” identity as one of the factors in the consideration of custody disagreements” -LifeSiteNews, June 15th, 2023. Note: As of 9-22-23 Gov Gavin Newsom has not signed this bill, but just the fact that it passed the Senate and Assembly is very concerning. Parents could lose their rights to their children if they do not “affirm” their transgender identity. They are coming for our children! ***The ELCRA changes will become effective March 2024. We need to stand up now!!! Here is what you can do to help: 1) Go to wethecounty.org/pledge  and sign THE PLEDGE to Protect God’s Children and pass this around to all of your contacts. 2) Get involved in your community by becoming a member of We The County at wethecounty.org 3) Contact us for free brochures of THE PLEDGE to protect God’s Children. contact@wethecounty.org 4) Watch and share the video “Whose Children Are They?” at whosechildrenarethey.com Ultimately, this will lead people to a choice between a Marxist government  based on Luciferian ideologies, or a Constitutional Republic  based on Biblical Ideologies. The Truth Will Prevail! Michael Dennis Smith Founder We The County Here is a great interview of Mr Smith on All Politics is Local:

by Catherine Saldago Feb 7th 2023 Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) claims to be pro-life. But do his pro-life values take precedence when it comes to his decision-making on spending bills? Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America gives Ciscomani an A+ score on his pro-life voting record, including for "stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion," but reality might be a little more nuanced. Ciscomani voted for House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) terrible temporary spending package. While it is very difficult to find any clear information on whether or not the spending package included abortion funding, as of Dec. 7, 2023, Johnson  had agreed  to remove pro-life abortion restrictions from defense funding. In fact, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ)  listed  funding for abortion travel as one reason he opposed the spending legislation . So far as I can find, no outlet has clarified if the newest of Johnson’s temporary bills included that same abortion funding; with so many Democrats voting for it, it seems at least possible the abortion travel funding was still there. The text and summary of the legislation as found on Congress's website do not appear to provide abortion funding directly; the legislation does, however, fund not only Defense activities, but also Medicare and Medicaid , which cover abortion in specific circumstances . It is therefore possible that the legislation for which Ciscomani  voted  included abortion funding. I recently attended the annual Tucson, Arizona, March for Life. While on the March, I was happy to see multiple representatives of Ciscomani marching too (identified by their signs and shirts), but I couldn’t help remembering the legislation for which Ciscomani voted. The congressman was not himself present, so I spoke to Ciscomani’s team after the March. When questioned about whether the disastrous spending bill for which Ciscomani voted had any abortion funding, they were all totally stumped. In fact, they had no very clear idea at all of what was in the legislation, except something vague about ensuring veterans received their benefits. Now, one might say that volunteers for Ciscomani’s campaign would not necessarily know everything in the spending bill. But if Ciscomani is going to set himself up as pro-life, it seems to me vitally important that both he and his volunteers know if the congressman voted to spend taxpayer dollars on abortion, i.e., killing babies. That should have been one of the priorities for Ciscomani in determining whether to vote for the spending legislation. Instead, Ciscomani voted for legislation that spends massive amounts of taxpayer money the government has on many unconstitutional projects and agencies. Ciscomani should provide his constituents with clear answers on this vital subject.

By American Revival Staff February 19th 2024 This is a wild story! This just happened in Turkey. In fact, events like these are being recorded around the world as people rebuke and curse Israel and the God of Israel, even His Son, Jesus Christ. Watch: But there is more. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn covers this story but also another, rebuking the Pope for his apostasy and adamant rejection of the word of God. Pope Francis is turning the Catholic church away from the Word of God like never before during his reign, on the verge of removing homosexuality and other such sexual perversions as sin! Clearly we can love the person but not agree with what they are doing. That was Jesus' position all throughout His ministry, Loving the people but disallowing them from destroying themselves with various sins. Should we lie to the people? And tell them that there is a blessing in destruction - the destruction that comes from a life of sin? God forbid. We, as Christians, ought to tell the Truth! The Blessing comes in holiness, righteousness and obedience to the word of God. Listen to this wild story Author and Minister Jonathan Cahn retells: God giving warning to the Pope that he might repent and change in his course.
