Good Day Dear Friends,
It seems that another day or two go by and I hear of more deaths in my extended family, and I have a huge, prolific Schuckman Family in the USA, and elsewhere. I know my family history and where my people come from... and the huge migration more than once. God has blessed our family and associated culture! I realize that as time goes on and families move and relocate, that some lines of communication fade and cease, but that is another reason why I continue to 'reach out' with my humble blog, to touch base with my kinsmen and many others with the Gospel [life and true story of Jesus Christ which includes Salvation and everlasting life!]. Sorry to say that a person probably cannot gain the full, truthful knowledge of that Gospel and other super important facts just from attending some 'church' -- even all your life. Remember: 'Attending church on a regular basis no more makes a person a Christian than standing in a garage makes a person an auto mechanic.' In the Middle ages, the country of Germany became a highly literate nation, especially since a good man, Johannes Gutenberg -- 15th Century, Germany, invented the printing press! And so every family could get a copy of the Bible and learn from it. And so Christian nations learned, trained and disseminated the knowledge of the KJV and other versions of the Bible all over the world through missionaries, etc.
It was the custom where every family had the chief means of self-defence, a great sword or battle-axe hanging over the fireplace, or where ever, to protect hearth and home... the family and the butchering knives had a "two-fold" use, also. I studied butchering from my father and read several books on the subject, as we butchered livestock on our farm in Racine County, Wisconsin, also when we killed and dressed deer and other wild animals that tasted so good at home. So too, the Bible was not just cherished, but well read, shared and incorporated into everyday life. The head of the Christian family was the husband, and so the Bible was to be taught thru that man, too.
Now, as most of you good, smart people already know, your cell phone has applications on how to look up words and terms to elevate you I.Q. to enrich your life and others. Learn how to use your tools. Just go to the dialogue box where you see the large "G" that stands for Goggle, and then type the strange word that you want to look up and hit Enter. Simple. You can learn so much this way! Instead of playing all the goofy games like, "Candy Crush", etc., why not learn a little?
The article below tells the true story of demons that will someday be released to hurt and harm LOST mankind after the Rapture on earth. You just do NOT want to be "left Behind," dear friends. That will be the ultimate horror show! No matter who you are, or what you are thinking right now, it only takes a heartbeat to change EVERYTHING on earth... to open the door for the worst time ever. Satan the devil wants all mankind to think, to believe that he doesn't exist! That he and his demons are just a 'quality' of a figment of our inner minds/ imaginations. I have said many times on this humble blog that Satan already controls the entire earth as he misleads the world, but this is just the beginning.
The apostle Paul spoke of a man who would hold back the hordes of evil, the "Anti-Christ" in the end time, but that man could not hold back Satan indefinitely. In this time NOW, present-day, 2019, millions of new people [that were blinded before, or just afraid] are accepting the Lord Jesus Christ in places that we would never believe. Places like China, India, Muslim lands like Iran, Iraq, all of Europe, etc. They now believe, serve and follow the real Lord, Jesus Christ that the Bible speaks of. They know that they could lose their lives because of this action. But they also understand that death is only a doorway leading to everlasting life in heaven!
My niece and cousins have recently passed away, even at young ages, much to our sorrow. All this serves to remind us that death is close to us all, and it doesn't take much to walk into death's threshold. I lived with death while in combat, flying in helicopters while in Vietnam, 7 days a week, non-stop for two long years: 68-70, and also thought that I was 'invincible' for years afterwards back in the USA, until I got into a few life-threatening accidents involving motorcycles and trucks, etc. And today, I look at my relatives dying at much younger ages than I so that hits home. God surely has some reason for protecting me and keeping me alive after all my life, working hard to support myself and family. It's too bad that some of my close family members still hold a grudge so that they refuse to communicate with me for whatever crazy reason, real or imagined. They will be the real losers because I will leave the earthly scene soon. One way or another, we know not when our Creator will call us home, so it's really time to prepare now today. 11-22-19. I am trying hard to prepare my good wife for all of that.
I hope that all of my readers have a great, safe day. I am happy to say that I am losing about 5 pounds of weight per week! I think that I have found the right way for me to put it all together, and I would be happy to share my success story with you, although I still have a long way to go.
My heart goes out to my sister, Sue, who just lost her young, pretty daughter, Jacque, in death. at age 37. Also my cousin, Dominic [Doc] Schuckman, from the great state of Kansas.
Hugs,
Tommy S

On this week's Hal Lindsey Presents, we study Revelation chapter 9. On previous programs, we looked at four of the seven trumpet judgments. The 8th chapter ended by telling us that the last three of these judgments will be called, "the three woes." This designation indicates unprecedented tragedy and suffering. When the fifth trumpet sounds, we see the first woe. The bottomless pit opens. Out of that pit comes a huge cloud of scorpion-like beings. They spread across the world and cause relentless pain to the followers of Antichrist. These beings have a "king" over them. The Bible calls this king, "the angel of the abyss." He's one of the highest-ranking creatures in the echelons of evil. Right now, he is locked away in the abyss. But when the 5th trumpet sounds, he will marshal his massive force in this unprecedented display of rage against humanity. Revelation 9:11 gives a word study on his name. In Hebrew, the name is "Abaddon." And in Greek, he is called, "Apollyon." Both words have the same meaning - "ultimate destroyer." Abaddon is second in evil only to Satan himself. In this modern age, it can be difficult for anyone to accept that demons truly exist. Yet the Bible talks about them with the same straightforward candidness that it does any other detail. Pure evil does exist. It's not something to play with, and it's not something we should ever seek. The Book of Revelation, more than any other book, points out the demonic origin of some of humanity's most insane and destructive actions. Demons play on mankind's fallen nature. They know human weaknesses better than any psychologist. And they exploit such weaknesses whenever they are given the opportunity. How comforting to remember 1 John 4:4. "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your kind words and encouragement concerning this in-depth look at the book of Revelation and remind you, God willing, it will be followed with a line by line examination of my favorite book from the Bible: John. Remember, it's only through your generous financial support these important Bible lessons can be made available to Christians and non-believers around the world. I hope you can join me for this week's amazing study on Hal Lindsey Presents. Look for the program on Daystar, Sunday at 11PM Eastern Time. Or watch it online anytime at www.hallindsey.com or www.hischannel.com. If you missed any episodes, you can catch up by visiting www.hallindsey.com/videos/. God Bless, Hal Lindsey
