    Hei godt folk fra Norge,
    du fine folk er min største venner og lesere... og jeg vet ikke akkurat hvorfor, men takk ! Der jeg bor i den nordlige delen av den øvre halvøya i Michigan, USA., vår vinter er bare om å starte i en måned eller så, men som aldri orker den hardy folk og woodsmen her, der mange av dem er fra Norge ! Den lille byen som jeg bor i er selv kalt, Norge, Michigan, zip code 49870. Den gode ting om bor så langt nord er at det er flott jakt, fiske, og ingen store byer full av venstre vinge vold, kriminalitet og narkotika.
    Men jeg vil gjerne lese og kjenne sannheten om ditt land, og hvordan den muslimske inntrengerne er som påvirker deg og din nasjonale gjeld og forbruk, fordi vi alle vet at folk i islam sjelden arbeid, men elsker å forbli på velferd, spise opp din skatt penger ... beklager. Mitt land er delt mellom konservative hardt arbeidere --- og liberale Lazy idioter..... Ha!

    Friends,
         Sometimes I think that if more people only understood the 'Gift from the Father' that Jesus Christ promised and gave to His followers after He ascended into heaven ---  they would have more faith and start doing things for GOD !   Instead of wasting away their  lives in pursuits of ungodly past times and ill-gotten pleasures.   I don't think that I spend enough time in the Scriptures, even as I plunge into the " Good BOOK" every single day ! !   Sure we all want and need to be balanced,  but I personally feel that we will soon need every scrap of Scripture we can get our hands and mind on,  as tensions in the world get worse almost every working day, and twice on Sunday !  
           Actually,  I am mildly surprised that the small but good country of NORWAY is so fond of my humble, little Blog:   TOM'S JOURNAL !   Ha!   They read and visit me more than my own country of origin,  USA ---America !    And then, France, Poland, Canada, Australia, Russia, China [It is thought that MILLIONS of Christians lived "underground" in China !], etc.   Indeed, we shall see huge movements and massive inductions of new Saints to the "Church of Christ" in these last days.   [The term,  "Church" is an Old English word for,  'Congregation,'  meaning:   PEOPLE], NOT JUST A "BUILDING."       ---But,  we just cannot make a horse drink water, if he doesn't want to !    However,   we must be the Lord's "mouth piece" until He returns to Rapture us up, and then clean up the entire 'New Earth.'

    "Let not your heart be troubled,  neither let it be afraid."  --- John 14 : 27.  
           OK,  I also love to entertain and comment on various subjects of interest --- but we must not let ourselves be distracted, nor misled at this time, either.   At the same time,  much Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right now,  so we best be knowing our Bible well.   We don't have to be Bible scholars to get to heaven,  but how shall we all do a good job sharing the Gospel with new people we meet, if we don't at least know the basics ?   I taught all 3 of my kids to memorize the 66 books of the KJV BIBLE long before they got into their 'teens.'   Ha!  And it didn't hurt them in any way, nor stunt their growth.  

    "Draw nigh [near] to God,  and He will draw nigh to you."   ---James 4: 8. 

    And for those in the good old, USA, on 4th Generation WELFARE $$$,  I ADMONISH YOU TO PLEASE look up:   2nd Thessalonians 3: 10,   For even when we were with you, this we commanded you,  that if any would not work,  neither should he eat."     How is it in the United States that there are  $ Billions $$$$ for Illegal Aliens and other countries --- but never enough for our Soldiers,   Sailors,  Marines,   AND OUR DISABLED VETERANS ? ?   Shame !
    ****************************************************************

    I read that people/groups are organizing a boycott of the NFL off Veteran's Day weekend.
    The article read as follows:

    A national boycott of the NFL for Sunday, November 12th, Veterans Day weekend, is being organized.

    A boycott of all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, please stay away from attending or watching any

    games, let them who kneel play to empty stadiums.  Pass this post along to all your friends and family. 

    Honor our military - many of who came home from war with the American Flag draped over their coffin.

    More Great Jokes.

    Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

    tschuckman@aol.com

    Foreword in French:


    Bonne journée, les amis qui parlent français ;
    nos jours et nuits dans la région de Michigan, USA, sont certainement cool, mais la vie n'est pas si mal quand quelqu'un vous vous souciez pour est avec vous. Je suis très heureux et reconnaissant de cette partie de ma vie.
    J'ai lu les Psaumes plus ainsi, récemment, pour je cite plusieurs d'entre eux sur mes écrits et messages blog, aussi. Un de mes préférés est : "le fer aiguise le fer ; ainsi un homme aiguise le visage de son ami." ---Proverbes 27 : 17. Et : "Ne te glorifie pas du lendemain, car tu ne sais pas ce qu'un dat peut enfanter." ---Proverbes 27 : 1.
    En effet, nous pouvons tous apprendre beaucoup sur la vie et sur nous-mêmes par la lecture des Psaumes et des proverbes sur une base quotidienne. Je suis un étudiant de l'histoire et la Bible KJV, également été au collège et deux fois en Europe et Asie Vietnam/ avant j'étais l'âge de 20 ans, et j'ai encore beaucoup à apprendre, mais j'aime enseigner aux autres ce que j'ai appris. Nous devrions savoir que nous vivons maintenant dans la 'Last Days', de ce mauvais système, et le monde est sur le point de changer bientôt.

    Sorry Folks,
        But only a reasoning mind will be able to understand these sort of JOKES !     And for those of us who lack LOGIC and Wisdom,  these simple thoughts will also prove to hard to grip.  
           But then understanding the pure, true KJV Bible also takes a reading   level of about 5th grade,  PLUS the help of the Holy Spirit.   I have explained many times on this humble, simple, blog, how to gain the Holy Spirit which will also live with you while on Earth.   But SOME DAY not too long from now --- the Holy Spirit will LEAVE the Earth, and those who are "Left Behind" will be so alone and on their own.... sorry, again.    Now,  Friends and Readers,  I realize that I mention these spiritual things on my simple Blog posts most every time,  but try to make it interesting.... AND MANY MORE FOLKS from other countries are now reading my blog,  from France, Germany, Norway, Australia, Canada,  China, Romania, Russia and China, and many other places ! !    I have heard that much of the Middle East people are now becoming Christian as the 'great In-gathering' is now in full force !    The Holy Spirit is making all this happen --- but humans need to be active and involved too.   Go figure,  we will never, ever, have another chance to do this important work commanded by our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ !   You know what.....  I also figured as much, back in 21 August 67, too,  when I enlisted in the U.S. Army at Milwaukee, Wisconsin,  too.   We must "strike while the iron is hot !"    I always wanted to get a little piece of the action, and so I have a very extreme, hard, but adventurous life, and now at age 68, also blessed with a good pension, etc.   "The wicked flee when no man pursueth:   but the righteous are bold as a lion."   --- Proverbs 28: 1.

    I hope that  you will share this with a friend, after you read it.

    Warm Regards,

    For Anyone Who Argued Colin Kaepernick's Protest Was NOT Against the Flag and Country, See His Latest Statement

    Ever since former San Francisco 49ers's quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem, he insisted that his actions were not made out of disrespect to his country or the flag.
     
    Following Kaepernick's initial protest, he stated he knelt in response to the “systemic oppression against people of color [and] police brutality.”
    Kaepernick has since maintained that his actions were not to bash the flag. However, following his initial kneeling, which really didn't get that much attention when it first took place, he said this during an interview with NFL.com:
    “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”
    Adding:
    “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
    Kaepernick bluntly stated, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag” in August 2016, after he knelt during a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers

    September 29th, 2017
    In Matthew 24, the Lord's disciples asked Him for signs of the end of the age. He began His answer with these words: "'Take heed that no one deceives you.'" (Matthew 24:3 NKJV)

    There is no denying that we live in an age of deception: fake news, false advertising, viral lies, clickbait, and mainstream media propaganda, to name just a few examples. And it gets worse every day.

    But Jesus also mentioned other "signs" of the end of the age. He included "rumors of war." The world's stand-off with North Korea may qualify as a "rumor of war" on steroids!

    Jesus noted "earthquakes." In the last 30 days, two massive earthquakes have hit Mexico alone! So far, the death toll from last week's is over 300. And they've not even begun to tally the monetary damage! Many places in Mexico City still don't have electricity or constant running water.

    In 2 Timothy 3:1, the Apostle Paul says that, "In the last days perilous times will come...." Then he enumerates a list of perils.

    But notice that the list does not mention a single natural disaster. No floods, famines, pestilences, or earthquakes. That's because the greatest perils of the last days are the dangers of moral decline.

    Look at this list. It is stunning how it mirrors -- with amazing precision -- today's America (even down to the NFL stadiums!): "In the last days perilous times will come, For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power." (2 Timothy 3:1-5a NKJV)

    Is that not a rundown of a single day's headlines on America's news channels?

    Jesus also warned of the moral decay near the end of this age. He said it would manifest itself in several ways. He warned of a rise in lawlessness. That doesn't necessarily mean train and bank robberies and raping and pillaging! It also means a general rise in disregard for the laws and order of the nation. Even by its government and business and political leaders!

    Speaking specifically of the end times, Jesus said, "Then they will deliver you (His followers) to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name." (Matthew 24:9 NASB)

    In its annual report, The First Liberty Institute found a dramatic rise in hostility toward people of faith. The Institute's Jeremy Dys said, "This year's survey represents a 15 percent increase in just the last year. And an alarming 133 percent increase in just the last five years."

    But, thank God, not all signs of the times are negative. In Matthew 24:4, still speaking of these days, Jesus said, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations." Jesus is adamant that this will include every part of the earth. He emphasized "the whole world" and "all the nations."

    Author Joel Rosenberg notes that, "Amidst the worst persecution in the modern history of the Church, we are seeing the greatest advance of the Gospel and the greatest harvest of souls in the Middle East in the history of the Church."

    When both China and the Soviet Union finally opened up to the West, we found far more Christians than anyone thought possible. And there are many reports by other Christian ministries that the Gospel is sweeping the Middle East -- thanks in large part to the internet!

    The worldwide preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the major signs that Jesus will return soon.

    Most people, Christians included, think of October 31 as Halloween. That's understandable since business and the media begin pounding it home as soon as we say goodbye to Labor Day.

    But October 31 is also the day we annually celebrate something far more important and uplifting than Halloween. It's "Reformation Day!" It is the day we celebrate Martin Luther nailing his "95 Theses" to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany.

    October 31, 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of that monumental event.

    In 1997, LIFE magazine called Martin Luther the third most important figure of the last millennium, behind only Christopher Columbus and Thomas Edison.

    Though Luther undeniably had many flaws, at his best, he returned the Word of God to the center of Christian thought. He renewed the Church's understanding of Christ as the author and perfecter of salvation. He brought salvation by grace through faith back into focus. In a very real sense, he reintroduced Christianity to Christ.

    Retailers say that Batman will be the most popular costume this Halloween. I'm guessing there won't be very many Martin Luther trick-or-treaters. Maybe it's time to teach our kids about real people who truly changed the world!

    Finally, have you ever wondered why conflict always seems to surround the city of Jerusalem?

    Napoleon called Jerusalem, "...the hinge of history."

    Mohammed said that those who dwell in Jerusalem will be in a constant "state of jihad until Resurrection Day."

    Even the Berlitz Pocket Guide to Jerusalem notes that, "This is sacred ground and has had more blood spilled on it for its own sake than any other place in the world."

    Jerusalem does not possess the traditional assets of a great city. It is great because it is a spiritual city.

    In Isaiah 45:13, God calls it, "My city." In 2 Chronicles 33:4, He said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever." (NASB)

    To this day, the nations of the world are in turmoil over Jerusalem. Just as the prophets predicted.

    As Jason Greenblatt, President Trump's Middle East envoy prepares to return to the region in an attempt to restart the peace process, let's remember to do what the Psalmist admonishes: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." (Psalms 122:6 NASB)

    It saddens me to say goodbye this week to Carolyn Deibel. She has been a faithful part of our production team as our show's script transcriptionist. This will be the first show in seven years that she has not transcribed. But Carolyn is suffering no longer. And I know we'll see her again very soon. Goodbye, Carolyn. Thank you.

    God Bless,

    Hal Lindsey
