Hi Friends,
   As an extension from the last blog post of mine, the AntiChrist is most certainly 'waiting in the wings' ready to leap into the spot light and take over... just LOOK at what is happening right now on the world scene!  True Biblical Christianity is now in the fight of it's life with big guns brought to bear on all lovers of Lord Jesus Christ!  Talk about being brazen and bold, the huge commercial companies are forking over huge sums of money to promote their ungodly slant on morality and being normal.  I mean, friends, I only challenge you to just read the first chapter of the book of Romans, written by the apostle Paul to the congregation at Rome in the First Century but being sound godly doctrine for all time.  Hint:  What does it matter in combat if you die from a hand grenade, a bullet or being blown up from an IED bomb/ explosive??  The common denominator is DEATH.  So too, fornicators and adulterers will also be found guilty, and if they are not repentant, they be on the wrong side of what Jesus taught and what the KJV Bible makes clear.   I am not making the rules -- and  when I was younger I found out that things were not always easy for me, being lonely sometimes.  I am blessed now to have a good, godly wife, and I study the KJV BIBLE with her often, several times a week. 


Today is a gloomy, cold, Saturday, so I might study and get edified/ strengthened today.


Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman




Starbucks launches commercial on teenager “transitioning” from female to male, donates profits to transgender children’s group....

12 February 2020

As the LGBTQ+P movement achieves cultural dominance, Big Business has sensed the opportunity to monetise wokeness.
Over the past several years, dozens of major corporations from Coca Cola to Nike, from Apple to Uber have come out swinging at conservative Christians, attempting to use their economic clout to bludgeon legislators seeking to pass protections for religious liberty and the pre-born into submission.
With the emergence of the transgender phenomenon, Big Business is upping the buy-in. Despite the fact that chest-binders are known to be very harmful (chest binders are a tight wrap that gender-confused girls use to flatten their breasts and appear male), Sprite released a major advertisement that, included in various shots of cross-dressing teens, showed a girl getting a chest-binder tightened by a smiling friend to disguise her femininity before heading off to Pride.
Gillette released an ad tenderly portraying a father teaching his “transgender son”—biological daughter—how to shave after “transitioning” to male.
That, and the Super Bowl featured eight commercials with LGBTQ issues highlighted this past year to an audience of millions. Corporations have money, and they’re using it to normalise gender confusion, hormone regimens, and sex change surgeries.

5 Darkest Starbucks Secrets

And now Starbucks has launched a new ad in the United Kingdom, showing a girl named Jemma struggling with being called by her birth name because she wants to identify as James.

The ad shows various people “deadnaming” Jemma, until a Starbucks barista calls out “James” and, as these transgender commercials are all intended to imply, lived happily ever after.

This, of course, is the point of mainstreaming, normalising, and even romanticising “gender transition”—to present it as a moment of true fulfilment, of finally becoming yourself.

The truth is sadly different. Starbucks, of course, is going all in on the trans-genderism phenomenon, partnering with a radical transgender children’s organization called Mermaids by selling mermaid cookies in their outlets across the UK and donating a portion of the profits. (Mermaids, you’ll recall, are mythical creatures that have no gender from the waist down.)


Roman Catholic Priest says 'paedophilia doesn't kill anyone'......

Description: Description: Paedophilia
12 February 2020
FROM YAHOO NEWS: A priest in Rhode Island, Reverend Richard Bucci, [pictured above] made national headlines last week by banning lawmakers who supported the state's abortion rights bill from receiving communion at his parish. Now, he is doubling down on that decision with a statement that's sending shockwaves through social media.
The 72-year-old priest recently passed out fliers to parishioners listing the names of all 44 members of the legislature who voted for the Reproductive Privacy Act, which was signed into law last spring.
The flier stated that those individuals would also be banned from acting as witnesses to marriage, serving as godparents, and performing readings at weddings and funerals, citing "2,000 years" of Catholic teachings.
Then, in an interview Sunday, Bucci's rhetoric went further.
"Paedophilia doesn't kill anyone and this does," he told local station WJAR, claiming that more children have been killed by abortion than have been abused.
This statement didn't sit well with State Representative Carol Hagan McEntee, a Democrat who championed Rhode Island's law to extend the statute of limitations for child sex abuse survivors.
"When he says that paedophilia doesn't kill people, well, he clearly doesn't understand," she told CBS News.
"He should've come to the statehouse and listened to the testimonies because there are lot of victims who are no longer with us. The injured voices that I heard — they've stolen their childhoods. They've practically destroyed their lives. And the ones we still hear from are the lucky ones because they're the ones who are still alive; they didn't die of an overdose or suicide. You know, there's plenty of those that never made it long enough to come forward."

Mega-Pastor Ron Carpenter was promised $6.25M retirement payout in transition plan with John Gray, court docs say....

Redemption Church Pastor Ron Carpenter Jr. (L) and Pastor John Gray of Relentless Church (R).
Redemption Church Pastor Ron Carpenter Jr. said he was promised a retirement package of $6.25 million to be made in annual payouts of $250,000 for 25 years in a failed transition agreement with fellow megachurch pastor John Gray of Relentless Church, court documents filed in South Carolina on Friday reveal.
The documents were filed in an ongoing eviction case between Carpenter and Gray over payments for the Relentless Church campus, owned by Carpenter.
Gray was given until the end of 2019 to take his church elsewhere amid allegations that he had been “shady” and “dishonest” in executing the controversial transition agreement with the Carpenters after they passed the reins of their Redemption Church campus to him in 2018. Gray had rebranded it as Relentless Church.
Carpenter and his wife Hope then moved to San Jose, California, to officially become the new pastors of the 14,000-member Jubilee Christian Centre, which they renamed Redemption.
According to a copy of the transition agreement cited by Greenville News, Gray was to take the role of senior pastor and then change the name of the church allowing Carpenter to take the "Redemption" name with him.
The agreement said the church’s board agreed to pay Carpenter an annual payment of $250,000 for 25 years as part of a $6.25 million retirement package. It also noted that Redemption Church also had a mortgage obligation of more than $12 million.
Redemption Church argued that Relentless Church failed to make mortgage payments to lenders, failed to pay Redemption when a lease agreement was made and failed to vacate the property as a tenant in default.
Relentless Church presented documentation, however, showing that monthly mortgage payments were being made and stated that Carpenter failed to make Gray senior pastor and president of the church he left behind without financial or legal issues. Since the transition did not take place, Gray created Relentless Church as a non-profit entity and made lease payments to Redemption instead.
Carpenter argued in his court filing that Relentless never executed or delivered the lease agreements, making the agreements invalid. Relentless has argued that the agreements are indeed valid.
Sorry, you lost souls out there, we are busy at the present moment with more urgent matters.

Pope Pushes One World Religion.......
12 February 2020
 
Description: Description: One world
 
Historically, the Vatican was no friend to the Jews but its new initiative aligns the Roman Catholic Church with Islam in a one-world religion that may be the biggest threat ever to the Jewish People.
 
A major event to advance the project will take place on the anniversary of the birth of the State of Israel which, according to one rabbi, is fitting since Judaism is the last bastion, entirely incompatible with a New World Order.
 
At an address to Vatican diplomats last month, Pope Francis announced that the Vatican will be hosting a global event titled, "Reinventing the Global Compact on Education."
 
"A global educational pact is needed to educate us in universal solidarity and a new humanism," the Pope said when he first proposed the summit.
 
A Vatican-backed website to promote the pact added: "Educating young people in fraternity, in learning to overcome divisions and conflicts, promote hospitality, justice and peace: Pope Francis has invited everyone who cares about the education of the young generation to sign a Global Pact, to create a global change of mentality through education."
 
The Pope described the need for the global alliance.
 
"'Never before has there been such need to unite our efforts in a broad educational alliance, to form mature individuals capable of overcoming division and antagonism, and to restore the fabric of relationships for the sake of a more fraternal humanity,'" he said.
 
The Pope cited the aphorism "It takes a village to raise a child," explaining its place in his global vision.
 
"All change, like the epochal change we are now experiencing, calls for a process of education and the creation of an educational village capable of forming a network of open and human relationships," he said.
 
"Education is not limited to school and university classrooms," the Pope said at the address last month. "[It is] principally ensured by strengthening and reinforcing the primary right of the family to educate, and the right of Churches and social communities to support and assist families in raising their children."
 
The education initiative is a continuation of the Pope's global vision as laid out in his Document on the Human Brotherhood for World Peace and Common Living Together signed by Pope Francis and Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, in February 2019 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
 
The agreement between the two religious leaders was criticized for its stance on the diversity of religions.
 
"The fact that people are forced to adhere to a certain religion or culture must be rejected," the document read. "As too the imposition of a cultural way of life that others do not accept."
 
Rabbi Pinchas Winston, a prolific end-of-times author, noted that in many surprising respects, the Vatican is now practically indistinguishable from secularism.
 
"It used to be that the Catholic Church was the bastion that stood against liberalism in every way, denouncing it as heresy," Rabbi Winston said.
 
"This was the case for as long as the Vatican could impose its will on its people and influence the rest of the world. That reality has changed because they don't have that power anymore. Pope Francis is a result of this change. He is a 'man of the people.'"
 
Not for long ----- he is actually a powerful change agent and he is making known his evil agenda on an almost daily basis now!

Dear Friends,
    A good friend called me on the phone from Alabama and we began to talk about the possibility of someone else taking the President Trump's place after the National Election... maybe someone from the 'dark side,' Socialist type.  My buddy thought that would put us on the super highway to the Lord's sooner return.  Of course only the Father and  Lord Jesus knows when He will come, so all of our human thinking might be incorrect.  Our American economy is doing well today, but the Stock Market and other things are fickle, up and down all the time.  I am not going to set myself up for a big fall, emotionally.  Been there --- done that. 


All I know is that I am bone tired of this cold Winter, and our water pipes froze up yesterday but we some how got them fixed with running water.  We might just buy some property as something just came up, but we must pray on that subject long and hard. 
    I will say one thing from experience... it's easy to live thru harsh circumstances and rough economic times when you have a good job and top seniority at your work place, or rich $$$.   But just try being the good, sensible Christian when everything is turned against you, and you lose your good name because of someone's LIES, so that even your so-called 'friends' at some church all turn against you!  Yet the Lord protects those who truly seek His forgiveness and keep their honor and loyalty to Him.  Yes, the proof is in the pudding, and for those who make it to the finish line with their clothes on. 


Pray for all the people, especially thousands of our Christian brothers and sisters in China who are braving that new disease/ virus.  And for the people at risk in the USA and other places in the world.  We should try to eat right and stay in shape NOW to best be prepared, IMHO.  It's like slipping and taking a fall, but it you are in top physical shape you can bounce back easier, rather than someone who has just let themselves go who forsake vitamins and minerals along with good food and pure water. 
    Yesterday was down to about -7 degrees below zero and the winds made that much worse, but of course we live in the upper most region of the USA, Michigan.  I keep saying that our Summers are a paradise, but the Winters are frozen.  I know that many of my readers would tell me to move South,  but I don't want the crowded dirty streets, crime and violence, so we shall stay here, and my wife likes it U.P. here where people are kind and friendly, and houses for rent or sale are still reasonable. 


Although I noticed that 'not all churches are the same in character...' where some have the Holy Spirit, and other do not.  You can honestly "feel" it in the air as soon as you walk in and sit down!  If you already have the Spirit and been to many churches as I have -- you would surely agree.  I find myself praying more than ever, to seek and do God's will.  Pray for me, also.


Warm Regards,

Hal Lindsey


February 15th, 2020


Most people have heard about the Antichrist. They've heard about him in movies and books. They associate him with the numbers 666. They understand that he has a close relationship with Satan. But most people have never really dug into what the Bible has to say about this strange and powerful individual.

This week, Hal Lindsey Presents enters Revelation 13 - an entire chapter about Antichrist.

Much of Revelation features a depiction of major events from the seven years leading up to Christ's return. Some of those chapters are laid out in chronological order. Interspersed between the chronological chapters, we find other chapters that are just as crucial to our understanding. The nonchronological chapters give descriptions of the most important movements and personalities of those seven years.

Revelation 13 is one of the nonchronological chapters. It gives an overview of the rise of Antichrist and the False Prophet. It's amazing how much this short chapter tells us - especially if we look at it in the context of Daniel and the rest of the Bible. And that's what we begin to do on this week's program.

Remember, this is not just about looking into the face of evil. It's about looking into the wonders of God's word. It fits together better than the finest watch. It's perfect. So, when we look at the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation in the context of history and of already fulfilled prophecy, it is thrilling. God's word is true and it is beautiful!

Please join me for this crucial study on this week's Hal Lindsey Presents. Look for it 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/.
