I have begun a series of articles that concern world events, beginning today, March 5th, 2023, until sometime next May 2024. Because I understand the body of Jesus Christ (the church) is close to being raptured, sometime before or after the Passover, in 2024, I will post comments concerning worldly events that coincide with end-time prophecy. See side bar for previous comments.

Day 4, March 21, 2024.
The parent, who remains anonymous, filed a petition to the Davis School District on December 11, 2022, arguing that “the Bible contains “incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape and even infanticide” and has “no serious values for minors” under the law.”
Phil, “What law, hers?
2 Peter 2:3, “There shall come in the last days (mockers), walking after their own lusts.” Verse 10, For them, “the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.” Signs of the end. 10/22/27.
Article by an Atheist. Articles like this are being read by millions of people who have little to no knowledge of the Bible, therefore causing confusion as to what Christians are all about.
Atheist wrote concerning Christians, “Imagine not only believing the world is coming to an end, but wanting it to happen.”
Phil replies, “Excuse me sir, Scientists revealed recently that the “Doomsday Clock” has been moved up to 90 seconds before midnight — the closest humanity has ever been to Armageddon.” We Christians don’t want the world to end, but my Bible reads, Revelation 21:1, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away.”
Atheist wrote, “Imagine people with such a mentality engineering American politics and foreign policy to bring about the very thing they seek — the apocalypse. What (Christians) are really pushing for is the destruction of our civilization. It’s quite outrageous and mind blowing, really,”
Phil replies, “Naughty, naughty, that is the dumbest, most ridiculous nonsense I’ve ever read. Here’s the difference, we get our information from a book Christian’s call the Bible. It’s been around for 3500 years. It speaks directly to people like you. I don’t know who you are, but I would bet, back in your linage, mother, father, grandparents, there were Christians in your family. But you with your pseudo-science, pseudo politics and pseudo agendas are the ones moving the doomsday clock 90 seconds closer to Armageddon.” Science has determined that, not Christians.
Here’s a quote from another scientific article, ‘Whether anyone wants to contemplate it or not, eventually the Earth itself will cease to exist. Humanity’s end is uncertain, but how the Blue Planet will die is almost guaranteed.”
I’m not going to comment on the rest of his article, but the man who wrote this, Matthew Carey must be hanging around with people who can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman, between life and a broken twig, between love of self and love they neighbor.

Stormy Daniels: The Democrats are so desperate to get Donald Trump, they would take the words of a Gold-digging, four-time married and divorced woman, an American pornographic film actress, and stripper. They would take her word and plunge this nation into a pre-civil war mode. Obviously, her two-million-dollar bank account isn’t enough. The Democrats have pulled this same stunt with other Gold-digging women to win elections in Alabama, Georga and almost destroyed the credibility and lives of several Supreme Court justices. More signs of the end of days.
We are going to take a look at Matthew 24 and parallel passages in Mark and Luke. We find Jesus speaking to four disciples, Peter, James, John, and Andrew. The five of them had come from the Temple Mt. and walked up to the Mount of Olives.
The last supper, Jesus’ arrest, his trial, and crucified were two days away. These events were all prophesied hundreds of years earlier. So, Jesus was not caught off-guard, but well aware of his future and all future events.
When the five were at the top of the Mt. of Olives, they looked down at the buildings of the Temple. That is when his disciples commented on the beauty of the buildings. “Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”
Jesus looked, then replied with words of warning, saying, “See you all these things (buildings)? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
The disciples then asked him, “Master, (teacher) but when shall these things be? And what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?”
Jesus told them to watch for deceptions, for many would come in his name claiming to be the Christ.
The destruction Jesus had warned them of came in 70 A.D. That is when the Lord sent General Titus and his Roman Legions to Israel to destroy the city and the Temple. That event answered the first question.
But two questions remained unanswered. They were,
Matthew 24:3, “What shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world (age)?”
Concerning these two questions: Jesus’ reply found in Mark 13:32 and Matthew 24:36-37, “But of that day and hour knoweth (knows) no man, no, not the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father (alone).”
What was the question Jesus answered, “no man knows” to?
It was, “What shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world (age)?”
Let’s first eliminate what the questions do not concern.
- They had nothing to do with the catching away (rapture) of the church before the tribulation begins.
- They have nothing to do with the time the two witnesses of Revelation 11., or when the antichrist of Revelation 13:1 is to be made known.
- Neither do they have anything to do with revealing the second beast of Revelation 13:11.
- Last, it has nothing to do with marking the 144,000 of Revelation 7.
So, what do they concern? Jesus is responding to Mark 13:26, they shall, “see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” Who are the “they?” Those who are alive on earth after the seven years of tribulation has ended.
This language finds its highest interpretation in the second personal coming of Jesus. See,
Daniel 7:13-14, “I (Daniel) saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven and came to the Ancient of days (the Father), and they (the angels) brought him (Jesus) before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
John sees the the Lord Jesus going before his Father and the Father giving his Son his kingdom. Then is judgment set, and the books opened.
When is that? Revelation 20:2, after the devil is bound for a thousand years, then cast into the bottomless pit and shut up. Then Verse 4, “Judgment was given.”
John 1:51, Jesus said, “I say unto you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.” It will be the time for the execution of judicial vengeance upon Jerusalem and the ground cleared for the kingdom. His claims and rights are now visibly and gloriously asserted and manifested.
Jesus second coming to judge the world answers the disciples’ question. His remark, “Of that day and hour knoweth (knows) no man, no, not the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father (alone)” has absolutely nothing to do with the catching away of the church, neither the start of the seven years of tribulation.
Now that the above is understood, the door is open for all you end time prophesy buffs. Daniel was told to close the book, but that book has to be opened and made known before Jesus returns. All the mysteries that have been hidden in the following verses can be studied and understood. Daniel 8:14, Daniel 9:24-27, Daniel 12:11-12, Hosea 5:15, and 16:1-2.
Jesus said to his disciples, in John 16:12, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot BEAR them now. Howbeit (but), when He (the Holy Spirit) the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear (from the Father) that shall He speak: and He will SHOW you things to come.”
We can examine several words in the above verse, first the phrase “to bear.” Here used as a metaphor, meaning “to receive now, to understand now.” That was not the time to “bear” those things, but today, March 2023 is.
The second word is “show.” It speaks of the future: An example of how it’s used in another verse.
Romans 15:21, “But as it is written, to whom he was not spoken of, they shall see (future): and they that have not heard shall understand.”
Show means to announce, to make known, to declare, to tell; as a transitive verb, and absolute, and in various connections, to relate, to tell. Isaiah 34:16, “Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these (books) shall fail.”
