Foreword in Danish:

God Dag, god danskere,
hvis jeg kunne have haft min vej da jeg var yngre, i en alder af 18, jeg ønskede inderligt at deltage kollegium, hvor jeg allerede var accepteret i den store State of Wisconsin, og sprogfag osv. Men jeg tror at Far Gud - yahweh, havde andre planer for mig, og hans Hånd var over mig beskyttelse igennem mange prøvelser og kampe. Og når alt kommer til alt er vi alle ikke her på jorden for at prise og tilbede Gud gennem vor Frelser, Jesus Kristus, og forberede sig på "Livet efter døden" -- Himmelen ? Vidste du alle spekulerer på, at svaner anders, der er 80 år gamle, og kæmpe skildpadder lever i 150, og nogle træer lever i tusinder af år ?? Men mennesket kan kun leve på omkring 70- 80 ? Når vi studerer Bibelen, får vi at vide, at svarene på alle disse spørgsmål. Og nu hvor vi er "sidste dage" -- da Jesus Kristus har lovet at komme tilbage og redde alle sine disciple og ansatte før the big crash/ kollaps, vi alle bør være klar. Én af dagene, vi vågner op for at finde mange millioner mennesker forsvinder fra jordens overflade -- og derefter lyve regeringerne vil fake news det hele ved at lave noget kejtet, falsk, undskyld.
Men dem, der er "efterladt" som har nogle bibelstudier vil indse, at "Rapture" allerede var kommet og gået.

Hello  Friends,
     If you read nothing else today,  please read the short article that I cut and pasted right here,  below my Greeting and main body.  
        Actually,  It gives me a whole new mind set, but reinforces much of what I normally post here, too.   The keyword would be,  how short we in the world have it --- before the Lord comes back.   And it doesn't much matter WHEN we first got the word and Gospel of Jesus Christ,  but what we are doing, today !  
        Now,  I, and many combat Veterans believe in "Prepping," investing, and being prepared for most any disaster or circumstance,  but even that could prove to be a sort of trap, too !   We must not get so obsessed with such carnal/ human, worldly affairs,  but we need to be focused on the understanding of the KJV Bible and Jesus Christ.   For that is the "administration" that Father God --Yahweh, has chosen to Save true Believers in His Son,  Jesus !    And the book of James is small, short, only 5 chapters, yet so powerful !   I guess I brag sometimes that I am a 'speed reader' of sorts,  but when I read the same verses multiple times,  I get a different slant of the meaning.   But then, if I really love the scripture a lot,  I will just memorize it, so I can SHARE it with others....   not use that knowledge to brag or lord it over some folks.   Although the PROOF of the Bible trumps every other source of wisdom in the universe.   
    And it so interesting and special to save up to buy a 'Time Map' to view both the Bible story and chronology --- and the secular history of man.... at the same time !!   I just might buy another one, because every stinking time that I move,  things get lost or left behind.    I just HATE moving,  but perhaps we might buy a house come Spring time near Iron Mountain,  MI.   Right now we live in a tiny, peaceful 'fly speck' town, in the U.P. of MI.    I have grown to like it up here,  because we are far removed from the dirty big cities, full of murder and crime,  South of us.   
      I guess the key word for today is Balance.    Be Thankful, and be balanced,  dear brothers and sisters.

Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman

November 24th, 2017                                                       A few years ago, a viewer wrote to me and asked if James 5:1-8 had any prophetic significance. To be candid, I had never carefully studied the passage in that light before. I was surprised to discover that its message really does apply to these times. To give you just a glimpse of what the Apostle James had to say, he begins, "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted.... Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you.... You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed, the wages of the laborers who have mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of [Hosts]." And James says even more, much of it condemning of a certain kind of "rich person" or system, the kind who come from a long line of those who became wealthy by defrauding the laborers of their wages. Now, it's important to make a distinction. The Bible does not condemn everyone who is rich. It's not a sin to have money. It's a sin for money to have you. The Bible teaches, "For the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil...." But it appears that the Apostle James predicts that in the last days there will be some extremely rich people who gained their wealth by defrauding the vast majority of those who do the labor for the economy. Yet the Lord will cause their wealth to become a snare to them, because the world's economy will collapse around everyone, both the rich and the poor. And, apparently, the greed of the rich will cause them to steal so much that the entire world economy will collapse. No, I've not joined the "Occupy Wall Street" or Antifa movements. I believe those kids, or rather the labor unions and "community organizers" who are running the show, are targeting the wrong people. I'm closer to the Tea Party because I think those people got it right. It's not Big Business doing the damage, it's Big Government. But not just the politicians. You see, in the past, the politicians did the heavy lifting for the ones that Abraham Lincoln called the "money power." Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln specifically warned against letting the "money power" get its way. But Woodrow Wilson ignored those warnings and crawled into bed with these guys. As a result, the world's economies are teetering on the verge of collapse. We are literally standing on the precipice of global economic chaos. And all because a little over one hundred years ago we let a few shadowy -- mostly non-American -- wealthy families take control of our nation's money supply, then treasury. Since then, they have plundered America's wealth, literally stolen from its citizens, and driven us into economic bondage -- from which we cannot and will not ever emerge. Indeed, as James says, "You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you." But, remember, James also warned, "Your gold and silver will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire." If you have watched this program very long, you know that I have a huge distrust of and disdain for the Federal Reserve System. As Representative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania said on the floor of Congress in June, 1934, "...the truth is, the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the government of the United States.... It controls everything here.... No man, and no body of men is more entrenched in power than the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. These evildoers have robbed the country of more than enough money to pay the national debt." I don't believe the Apostle James was referring specifically to the Federal Reserve, or even the world's central banks, in 5:1-8, but I do believe he foresaw that in the last days a small group of ruthless, heartless, greedy, and, yes, evil people would control the economy of the world. Some have begun calling them "globalists." And the only thing that can result from the work of ruthless, heartless, greedy, and evil people is heartache, despair, destruction, and chaos. Exactly the setting needed to encourage the people of the world to turn to someone who has an answer and can save them from disaster. And we know who that "someone" will be: the Antichrist. Also on this week's program: As we celebrate this Thanksgiving season, I want to share with you why I think it's more important than ever to understand the power of praise in thanksgiving to God. As I said last week, our nation faces real and present dangers. Our citizenry faces challenges we've not faced in decades, if ever. As I report weekly on "The Hal Lindsey Report," the threats are mounting and the odds appear to be impossible. But it's precisely at those moments that the power of praise and gratitude to God can be our pathway to victory. I pray that you had a happy Thanksgiving Day. As we continue to celebrate the season through the weekend, remember to take time to reflect on God's goodness to you, your family and friends, and our beloved nation. In everything give thanks!

Christians around the world. but particularly in North Korea and in nations with heavy Muslim populations, face massive persecution. In fact, the authors of a new study of the situation find it’s “worse than at any time in history,” the Express noted. The study looked at the plight of Christians in 13 different countries, and concluded: For those of this faith, life is hard — extremely hard. From The Express:   Want to Silence Your Liberal Friends in 17 Seconds Flat? Show Them This Health Sciences Institute x Sponsored by Revcontent Find Out More > 31,201 The European-based Aid to the Church in Need described the current level of persecution against Christians as being “worse than at any time in history”. Examining the plight of Christians in 13 countries over the past 12 years, the group found the number of Christians in the Middle East had dropped drastically in the past year. The report entitled ‘Persecuted and Forgotten?’ claims the number of Christians in Syria had dropped to just 500,000 from about 1.5m five years ago, when the Syrian civil war was only just beginning. In Iraq, more than half of the country’s Christian population became internal refugees and Syria’s second city of Aleppo, which until 2011 was home to the largest Christian community, saw numbers dropping from 150,000 to barely 35,000 by spring 2017 – a fall of more than 75 percent. The report predicts Christianity in Iraq could be effectively wiped out by as early as 2020 if the population’s decline continues at the same rate as it has in the past two years. The report said: “While firm numbers are hard to come by … there is little doubt that the level of Christian persecution remains extremely high in a great number of places around the world.” Researchers estimate as many as 600,000 Christians may have suffered some form of persecution for their faith around the world last year. Aid to the Church also accuses the UN for failing to help persecuted Christians and criticised the western media for failing to highlight the problems facing them. The charity said: “At a time in the West when there is increasing media focus on the rights of people regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexuality, it is ironic that in much of the secular media there should be such limited coverage of the massive persecution experienced by so many Christians.” The report said: “Governments in the West and the UN failed to offer Christians in countries such as Iraq and Syria the emergency help they needed as genocide got underway. “If Christian organisations and other institutions had not filled the gap, the Christian presence could already have disappeared in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East.” Report editor John Pontifex said: “In terms of the numbers of people involved, the gravity of the crimes committed and their impact, it is clear that the persecution of Christians is today worse than at any time in history. “Not only are Christians more persecuted than any other faith group, but ever-increasing numbers are experiencing the very worst forms of persecution.” Persecuted and Forgotten? found that members of China’s 127 million-strong Christian population have suffered increased persecution following new attempts to bring Christianity in line with Communist ideals. More than 2,000 churches and crosses have been pulled down in China’s coastal Province of Zhejiang – and clergy are still being routinely detained by authorities. The paper highlights the “eradication” of Christians and other minorities as being the stated aim of Islamic extremist groups , particularly in Egypt and identified growing problems in certain majority Islamic countries and authoritarian states such as Eritrea and North Korea. Only last month, Coptic Christians in Mina were forced to lock the doors of their church after a mob of more than 1,000 people gathered outside to intimidate and threaten worshippers.
