WARNING SHOT

You have made him (mankind) to have dominion over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet.

All sheep and oxen-

Even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air,
And all the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

Psalm 8 - 6-8

NKJV 

Thankfully in my early christian walk someone recommended the Jack Hayford Spirit Filled Study Bible and I am eternally grateful.  The study note covering this psalm is something everyone needs to read because whether you are a believer or not:-

THE WORLD LITERALLY STANDS OR FALLS BASED ON THE ACTIONS AND STEWARDSHIP OF HUMAN BEINGS.

EVERY GOVERNMENT AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE EARTH AND THE OTHER SPECIES OF LIFE THAT INHABIT IT.

DOMINION GIVEN TO MAN OVER THE EARTH MAKES US HUMAN BEINGS ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT.

Study notes on the above Psalm 8 - 6-8

Most people realise there are very dark entities who are purposefully pushing their puppets towards World War 3.

We are all born equal under the sun but sadly those in power are being manipulated, they either conform or those with evil intent will dispose of them.

The very worst witness is by those who purport to be Christians - I suggest they get another label because Jesus Christ would never support their views.

Matthew 26 - 52

But Jesus said to him "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

ALL GOVERNMENTS but especially those professing christian leaders need to heed "THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS, ONLY LOSERS and prayerfully God will deal with those who are surely trying to provoke war.

On the other hand the criticism rightly expressed by members of the U.N. was justified.  The total lack of humility and the very apparent arrogance of the American leadership can only irritate the already festering mind set of Kim Jong Un and other countries who quite rightly do not consider themselves subordinate, lesser peoples or slaughtering fodder for the West.

Fifty nine years ago I read Neville Shute's new book "On the Beach"  At that time I could never have envisaged another world war.   Surely we had learnt our lesson that political dictators should never be allowed to lead another country or suppress minorities and our aim for the future was peace.   Those who went along with the horrors of Adolph Hitler would not be tolerated, but sadly the devil is in the detail.

Some express the opinion that there is no such thing as evil it is merely anti.social behaviour but nothing brings such an awareness of its darkness on this God forsaken planet as the cruelty inflicted on those who are unable to defend themselves.   Little children and animals.   The horrific stories circulated courtesy of the internet highlight the sub human activities of the perpetrators.   We can only pray God will avenge their victims.

From the traumatised stare of little children in the Middle East who have witnessed their parents blown to smithereens or hacked to death to the appalling sight of a dog whose owner has broken its back because it would not hunt.   All signs of pure evil and only a pathologically depraved personality could inflict such suffering.

The average man on the street is helpless to make a difference.   This is unseen warfare at the highest levels of government but those left with any conscience can and will pick up the pieces.

One would seriously question whether the constant diet of verbal diarrhoea between the waring fractions would help the depressed individual with an eye on survival.   Leaders should speak with caution, the slightest antagonism could spark the flame of a mad man and that would be it.   The mentally challenged are not only walking our streets they are in the halls of power.   

Sadly in the animal world rescue is all about money.   Thankfully at one point in my life I had a vet who knew my personal circumstances and would often prescribe a cheaper application of the necessary treatment.  i.e. tablets as opposed to injection.   For a simple treatment the internet vets are helping millions facing that expensive walk over the surgery threshold.   

For many people animals are a source of comfort and companionship, especially for the elderly who more often than not live alone.   Some will go without just to make sure their pets have everything they need and inevitably they would fall prey to the loan sharks if they ever had to deal with any major complication.

So my question has to be do most vets really care about animals or is it just a business at the end of the day.?  The days of offering a pig, grouse or chicken to offset the fees are long gone.

One man who has worked in animal rescue for many years is Viktor Larkhill (www.patreon.com/LetsAdopt) his postings are readily available on You Tube.   The animals he rescues receive expensive surgery and top quality care in establishments that make hospitals in the Middle East akin to slums.   Of course this type of corrective surgery is well out of the reach of the ordinary man on the street nevertheless Viktor is sponsored by many caring animal lovers all eager to reach the source of the cruelty, but of course that never happens.   As for the victims no one could object to the cost of the skills of the surgeons and nurses who show our lesser brethren that most humans are worth loving.

Perhaps the appearance of the Son of God, this time in power and glory will bring an end to the chaos we have had enough of the evil sons of Satan.

His appearance would bring the squabbling powers to their knees.  Like naughty children they are about to destroy the planet with their dangerous toys.  They don't deserve this world.   Dump them on a penal colony in the farthest reaches of the solar system with absolutely no escape.  A hell hole where they can persecute each other for all eternity.

Ideally we need men akin to Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Jesse Ventura and his son Tyrel (Watching the Hawks- R.T.) who express the only common sense views I have appreciated.   But in the end I doubt they would welcome the mantle of persecution that goes to those who speak the Truth.  It is always the power hungry personality that seeks political leadership and the adulation it brings.

Neville Shute's book is a novel and will hardly be considered inspirational for the academics or political leaderships but its message is simple.   THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS.  Maybe you didn't get a direct hit but FALLOUT will contaminate the whole planet.

Perhaps a suitable christmas present for the Kim Jon Un and Erdogwans of this planet.   I doubt the leaders of Russia require educating where war is concerned, their statesmanship outshines all the dross coming out of the West.

I REST MY CASE LORD.

Do not gather my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

In whose hands is a sinister scheme,

And whose right hand is full of bribes.

Psalm 26 - 9 

Fear made David pray thus, for something whispered,

Perhaps after all, thou mayest be gathered with the wicked.

C.H. Spurgeon.

Genuine followers of Jesus Christ walk in Peace and know their redemption draws nigh.

Redeemed by the blood of Christ,

you are His for ever, and where He is, there must His people be.

You are loved too much to be cast away with the reprobates.

Shall one dear to Christ perish? Impossible!

Hell cannot hold thee! Heaven claims thee!

Trust in thy Surety and fear not!

C.H. Spurgeon.

Baruch ha ba b'shem Adonai

SHALOM.
