WILL THE REAL CHRISTIAN STAND UP

Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully

 as when they do it for religious convictions.

Blaise Pascale

Those who are determined to cause World War III can never carry the name of their professed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because the gospels are full of quotes and directives regarding that one.

19 - Directives - to turn the other cheek.

18 - Directives - to love your neighbour as yourself.

In his book the Age of Reason - Thomas Paine wrote - "the most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest of miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation or revealed religion".   No one can deny that statement.

Religion has been the cause of nearly all wars throughout history, but to presume that religion is controlled and directed by genuine sons of God is an absolute fallacy.  It's a hornets nest of the depraved sons of Satan who continue to meddle, control others and feed off the pickings.

Just one glance at the list of the richest pastors in the world will give any atheist fuel for his disgust.

Bishop David Oydepo - £150 million - meanwhile Africa starves.

Bishop Tk.D Jakes - £147 million - South Africa is considering a warrant for his arrest.

Benny Hinn - £42 million - his special toy a Gulf Stream G4 Jet.

Kenneth Copeland - £25 million.

NOWHERE in scripture did Jesus command his followers to do anything other than FREELY GIVE.   Who would not want to believe their dying child could be saved at the hands of these so called Men of God but whilst healing sometimes takes place, millions die.   Is the God of heaven that callous and controlling that he allows the mass slaughter of millions?   No - FREE WILL - has been given to every individual.  God is not a police man, but sooner or later he will intervene to eradicate and cleanse this planet of its scum, human infestation and their exploitation of the lesser brethren (animals) with whom we share this earth.

2 Peter - 3 (10-12) suggests destruction will be by fire.   Scientists on the other hand are focused on sun flares which are causing considerable concern.   A major flare incident and the earth would burn.  One way or another Son or Sun.   THE CLOCK IS TICKING.

We all have a conscience (although some might question that one where the actions of others are concerned).   It will gift us sleepless nights when we have done something we know is wrong.   Memories of those who have suffered as a direct consequence of our actions haunt our dreams.   Sleep comes when we realise we are accountable to God and experience genuine remorse for our action, repent and hopefully receive His forgiveness.  Sadly some are taken over by the wiles of Satan's cohorts.   C.S. Lewis nailed that one in his book "The Screwtape Letters"  

A terrible accident takes the life of a precious son and Shallow Hal immediately points the finger at God.   He doesn't link the responsibility to man suffocating the highways, drink, drugs or mere exhaustion from enforced journeys just to ensure a sufficient wage to feed a family.   No, his son is dead and he lays the blame squarely a the feet of his hitherto God and joins the ranks of the Christ haters.  After all he prayed for a miracle recovery but God didn't answer that one.

Another suggests you avoid the rough sleeper, a man with long hair and dirty fingernails and gosh doesn't he just smell.  "Another day for you and me in Paradise" - Phil Collins - springs to mind and might produce a momentary twinge of guilt.   Or perhaps they would have walked past their Saviour along with his friends on the streets of Jerusalem.   This world still judges a man by what he has or what he owns  and presumes a garment of respect.  In reality he has probably crawled over siblings and employees to maintain his stash and keeps it well screened and far from the slums of the inner city housing estates.   As long as the sun rises and sets on this planet the bloodshed will continue and the rich will bleed the poor.

No man or woman who truly follows Christ could hurt another human being or animal.  We acknowledge that if we do not practice good husbandry the earth will not support life.  Tell that one to Monsanto who are still marketing Round-up knowing full well it causes cancer in animals and humans.  

The seed of Peace is given to those who follow Jesus Christ and they in turn could become martyrs until He returns.

And if there is a God

I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity

as to be offended by those who doubt his existence.

Bertrand Russell   

Regardless of viewpoint or beliefs those who deny the present global turmoil will inevitably suffer the consequences.   Old hatreds are back with vengeance.  "This is a land of Confusion"  brilliant foresight by Genesis and Phil Collins who along with the Spitting Image team might wish to consider a follow up "It's getting worse - where were you"   

World War III would indeed lead the way to complete and utter destruction either by a direct hit or fallout.   There will be no winners - ONLY LOSERS the consequences too terrible to contemplate.   Prayerfully may our creator God raise up men of integrity and truth who will lead others in the path of Peace.

As for His children.  Yeshua HaMashiach - therein lies our Peace.

NEVER ALONE

If we truly follow the Lord we must go into

the wilderness of separation,

and leave the life of this carnal world.

to a place where the Lord calls His sanctified ones.

"What exactly brought you to this part of the country" the man enquired as he whirled his victim around the busy dance floor."

Caught unawares Millie just smiled and said "ah well that's a rather long story so should we just leave it that I felt drawn to the area.  It's such a beautiful part of the country and a lovely place to finally check out.

"Hardly" said the man laughing "you are far too young to be thinking like that, you've years in front of you"   Observing the other pensioners doing a rather tidy tango she considered he could be forgiven for that one, it wasn't the first time she had had to correct someone's observations regarding her age and appearance but she usually politely suggested they went to a certain well known opticians to have their eye sight checked.   Friends knew she would always fling a humorous quote in their direction, often self mocking. 

The genteel tea dance was over and a small group of seniors climbed into the waiting taxi, for some it was the highlight of their week and drained of any energy they would happily settle down for their favourite soap then head off for an early night.

Later that evening Millie caught sight of her blurred reflection in the bathroom mirror.   She remembered the brief conversation with the dance school teacher hardly the place to unload and witness her real reason.    She was hunting for a lost experience.   A past church alive with spirit filled christians who would happily die rather than deny their Saviour.   Young and old who believed the Word of God and followed their Shepherd King but sadly it was the same old, same old compromise and when a minister suggested he would ease her in at a quiet service and that she would have to be careful she didn't offend someone suggesting she mustn't be judgemental, that was it.    The same old excuse.   Didn't her Lord offend the leaders in the Sanhedrin and didn't they scheme to kill him.   Where was this pastor coming from, or was it just a question of the old "get them in and let Jesus clean them up brigade"  contaminating the rest of the flock, while happily number crunching and appeasing the tithe.   She had had enough of the "hirelings" well aware the cancer of diluting and diminishing the bible was increasing and that most congregations were more in line with ancient pagan worship appeasing self interest and self worship.
    

Later that week as she stood on the sea shore watching the receding tide it was hard to imagine how anyone would want to destroy such an earthly paradise, so far removed from "sin city".  She imagined perhaps this was where John Bunyan would have headed once he escaped the clutches of his twelve year prison sentence for speaking the Word of God.   Now her country was Sodom and Gomorrah, her denominations filthy and an abomination before a Holy God, and the reality hit home exactly what would God do this time.   She shuddered in the hot sun remembering the utter desolation of the land bordering the dead sea in Israel.  

A beautiful little girl marched past.   She could have only been three years old but she was on a mission, a huge sand castle was being built by her father and she was bringing shells and stones to decorate its ramparts.   Children who smiled at strangers were few and far between these days and when Millie witnessed the friendly smiling little angel she worried about the dark shadows that might be lurking just around the corner.   Now evil powers were planning to snatch their innocence in the name of political correctness and Millie knew that those who would stand against the policies would join the martyrs of old.  Perhaps their fate would not be as blatantly obvious as those slaughtered in the middle east, in some cases imprisonment, solitary confinement for protesting against the status quo.   It was all getting very dangerous but for a few hours as the waves danced on the golden sand and the sun shone in a clear blue sky it was just a gentle interlude and glimpse of a better world to come.

'Thankfully the future is veiled from us and all we can do is trust in the Lord, take His hand and journey on considered Millie as she reached for her little dog.   "Come on Babe" she said "lets walk up the hill and just sit and watch the coastline under the shade of the ancient woodland.   Perhaps all she could do was fill her present place with His praise knowing when He was ready He would show her His purpose.    

"Can't understand how you can be so happy when there's so much gloom and doom at the moment" said her neighbour pushing past her to reach the cash machine first.   

"I have Jesus" Millie replied "tired and worn as I may be with furrowed brow and wasted features I have His peace and one day soon I will rejoice with my brothers and sisters in His Kingdom to come.
Her heart sang remembering His promise and His words.

John 14 - 23
If anyone loves Me, He will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 

It was noted a rather strange woman had moved into No. 17.    The grapevine jangled furiously "She says she's "born again" whatever that means.   Don't believe all that rubbish.'' said one irate neighbour to her friend.  I'm off to the supermarket apparently there's are going to be a water shortage with all this hot weather and the bottled stuff is fast disappearing off the shelves.   

Millie imagined the woman sitting in her flat surrounded by bottles of water and enough food stocks for a couple of months - and then what.!!!!!!!   Even at this late hour they deny God and His son and when it all starts they will be terrified.

The first few months in her new home had flown by.   Millie was busy finding her way around the town and surrounding countryside.   The concierge smiled as she left the building by the main entrance.  "Good morning Millie and how are you today" he enquired.

'Absolutely fine thanks Mick"

"45 killed in Japan - floods - earthquakes in Israel yesterday and with all the dead bodies lying around in Yemen no doubt pestilence is heading our way on the wind." he snorted his disapproval as he glanced at the pile of newspapers lying on a table in the foyer.  

"Need to get yourself a bible Mick" said Millie, "the prophets warned this would happen" and she smiled and walked out into another hot sunny day.

"And this is why you are here" said the Lord "fill this place with My love and compassion for the blind and the deaf.   When I need you in another place I will show you the way.

As Millie prayed that night she thanked the Lord for the brief interlude in a place safe from the approaching storm clouds.   "Lord, I know there is a global remnant of Your children and whatever lies ahead I will follow You.   I can never be alone when I have Your Holy Spirit to guide and protect me"  Thankyou Yeshua for every blessing.   I know we deserve your discipline, this once great country is being slowly absorbed by another culture who worship another God and all the denominations can do is push inter-faith.  Corruption and lies are commonplace.   Speak the Truth and receive condemnation by a morally degenerate society.

There is only one God.   He will allow the persecution of His children and will not spare the rod until the day He decides to deal with the enemy.

John 10 - 26 - 28

26 - But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

27 - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

28 - And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish ; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My Father's hand.

NOW IT BEGINS

It is the beating heart of the common man in the streets and alleyways.

SALVATION WILL COME.

You could have been forgiven for thinking you stood on the edge of paradise.   The tide had turned  leaving soft wet sand gentle to the feet.  Sky and sea merged on the horizon a brilliant blue. No sign of the pollution that is slowly but surely killing its creatures. 

In another place children were screaming and dying as despots continue their wicked agenda and the stench of the blood and bones of their victims lies buried, rotting trash in cities that have been obliterated from the face of the earth.  The lives lost insignificant to those in power.

Try and try again sons and daughters of Satan but you will never wash the blood from your hands.  Killing by proxy just as heinous and your ultimate fate will be decided by the God of Heaven.

Meanwhile videos are being removed from You.Tube.   Men and women who voice the truth are silenced by a corrupt legal system.  Sooner or later they will remove your right to choose any television channel that challenges their ultimate goal. 

Proposed legislation would ensure christian teachers could be forced to choose between their faith and their job as the LGBT lobby in government move their agenda forward.   Accept the directive of this government and instruct primary school children that same sex marriage is acceptable or stand against this and fall on your sword.       

Remove your children from the system.   Perhaps retired christian teachers can offer support to those unable to provide private tutors.   Writing to your local MP in protest will fall on stony ground as it is possible they themselves could be homosexual or lesbian.    

The wise will remember the words of Yeshua.  

Matthew 18 - 6

And no doubt hell fire will be the destiny of those who influence and groom little children and  persecute and imprison those who stand for His truth.

Matthew 5 - 17 - 18

Jesus said:

"Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets.  I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

The hour is late, rejoice His Kingdom will surely Come.

    

   

   

THE END

Better have wounded and empty hands that are clean

than hands that are full and yet stained with sin.

J.R. Miller

As frauds and liars multiply by the hour and every conceivable trick in the book is used to discredit and if necessary remove the 'voice that cries in the wilderness' the writer has had enough.  Ever avoiding the 'Send feedback' button which dangled dangerously near a line of text which could have opened a 'can of worms'  it mattered not what opinion others had of a work that was offered freely for encouragement or the trash can.   I pray I have reached the hearts and minds of those stranded in the wastelands.   There is hope, and when you cry out to the God of creation He does answer.   He saved a wretch like me, He can save you.  My testimony remains on the blog "For such as These"  I can only pray it will inspire people that what ever their struggle no one is beyond His saving grace.   To those damaged by the hirelings and denominations who would never consider walking over a church threshold again, you don't have to.   God is as available as the air you breathe.   Salvation is yours for the taking. 

My first blog was in 2003 - originally I just intended putting my testimony on the internet, pressing the publish button and let it go surfing the net but 220 blogs later its time to say enough is enough.  Thank you for the 7,100 hits.   I pray I have reached souls but thankfully my site was blocked for any caustic comments.      

The internet is dead in the water for me.   The filth and dross that arrives unsolicited in my mail trash box is amazing, sales promotions exhausting, its back to quill, ink and pigeon post.  That way your authorship can remain anonymous.  It has never been about the writer's notoriety or acknowledgement/praise, merely shadowing or highlighting text in the very best guide for a wandering soul, the bible. 

It never ceases to amaze me why someone would want to buy a book about Hilliary Clinton or Tony Blair and add to their amazing wealth.   I have used quotes by John Bunyan, Spurgeon, Tozer and J.R. Miller, were they rich men in their lifetime? I seriously doubt it - Bunyan spent many years in prison but his book is second only to the bible.  Their priceless encouragement lives on within the reach of the average guy on the street.

Thank you to everyone who dropped on my blog site.   I hope you found it encouraging because that was my only agenda, and if by chance you were from the 'dark side' my feedback has always been blocked so you were wasting your time.

My prayers go out to my brothers and sisters around the globe.   Some I initially found on Facebook, but when Facebook decided to tell me what I could and couldn't say - then that was the time to start my blog.  Eventually blogs will be policed and taken down by the 'dark masters of the internet'

My christian friends in America are held in prayer.   You know the old saying 'America sneezes and we in the U.K. catch a cold.   It is slightly more subtle here but it's rather like a creeping gangrene slowly by degrees although I am not aware of any satanic churches here, nevertheless the Word of God is compromised in virtually every denomination and only the groups following the teaching of J. Prasch huddling together in small fellowships are aware of the deterioration.   Church is now a social club, all welcome, anything goes, same sex marriage and the L.B.G.T. lobby welcomed with open arms.   

Yes, we are a peculiar people but we are destined for His glorious Kingdom and as Charles Haddon Spurgeon said "Where the Holy Spirit implants divine life in a soul, there is a precious deposit which none of the refinements of education can equal.

Your gifts are heaven sent but there is still time to use them to lift the broken and make a difference in your corner of the world.  It starts with you and me.

There is an air of excitement as bible prophesy unfolds.   I can only imagine talking with Peter and John and the other apostles.   Walking with John Bunyan thanking him for his vision of the City of Gold encouraging us to 'finish the race'

C.H. Spurgeon writes "It is better to be least in the kingdom of heaven than the greatest out of it"  His simple quotes hit home and speak to us lesser mortals who struggle to find time to study at length.

Just to be a gate keeper will suffice for this soul - so if you see a joyful happy praising soul collecting the passes - I hope its 'me' 

We go together

into forever.

Our spirits blend

as we ascend.

A burning light

heads into the night.

Gone forever

Gone forever

Children of His Light.

TRUTH EARNS TRUST

The religious snob is devoid of Truth

Snobbery and truth are irreconcilable.

A.W. Tozer

Until a christian accepts he knows most when he realises he knows little and that we will never understand this side of heaven until we see in His eternal light the meaning of it all, the rest is guesswork and sadly there's an industry that feeds off the searching spirit.

Every born again believer knows that when you are buried in Christ you die to your old nature and rise to a new life.   If you are still returning 'like a dog to it's vomit' to your past sins and proudly sheltering under the umbrella of 'saving grace' its time to stock take, self examination is the order of the day before it's too late.   The biblical clock is approaching the hour.

There's a popular euphemism 'we all drop our cross' and while sadly that is true, a repentant saved soul will find the sins of the past abhorrent and the blows inflicted by a refusal to 'dance to the devil' are worth the pain and rejection by others.   Your soul knows the prize at the end of the road.

When you realise something far above your pathetic intellect is in control and you are just an insignificant grain of sand on God's shore you are finally starting to grasp the concept of humility.   Like the pieces in a jigsaw you fit into your place in the picture and regardless of your standing in this world the great equaliser, death, comes for us all.

Meantime I rejoice in my spiritual youth, a mere 24 years old, pushing against the mud and slime of the dark places seeing only the incredible beauty that remains.   The awesome trees that will outlive the puny fragile creature that hugs its trunk.   The amazing sunsets and rainbows that colour God's creation.

How lonely, lost and frightened are the elite of this world clutching their possessions tightly realising underground bunkers are not available for everyone and time is running out.   The most precious jewel they could ever own belongs to the downtrodden sheep of His flock.   

As the global unrest continues there is still work to be done and souls to be won and where one truth seems to contradict another the wise will hold to the basic precepts of their faith and wait for God to resolve differences.

John 8 - 31-32

Then Yeshua (Jesus) said to the Jews who believed him "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed (32) And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Time Lord

I wait on the shore of your life

until the sands of time have run their course.

Whisper in your dreams,

as you journey on the road ahead.

Ever near as you dance 

through the sunshine of your days.

Laughing at your antics,

counting the tears of your grief and joy.

Uphill struggle, downhill slide,

life's roller coaster ride.

Until the day you gaze in childlike wonder

at the simplicity of My truth.

I AM.

There really are no 'white lies' all lies are black.

Falsehood is of the night,

no matter whether it be merely a look or a silence that deceives,

or whether it be an uttered untruth.

Hi Mum, you still here!!!!

Sandra hurtled through the kitchen door and smiled at her mother sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a quiet cuppa before the rest of the family descended.

"Yes, of course I am Sandra" her mother replied "what have I told you about listening to the crackpot prophets on You-tube.

Matthew 24 - 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

How many times are you going to work yourself up into a frenzy.   What did Yeshua say.   Read Matthew 24 until you know it by heart its the timetable for unfolding events.   We are now in the time of Sorrows.    

"Go and put your posh frock in the wash.   I doubt the angels will be gathering just yet.   We haven't suffered enough"

Matthew 24-31

And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

"Oh Mum" wailed Sandra "Pastor Finn says we are not going to suffer the tribulation"

"Perhaps you might suggest to Pastor Finn that we are in the tribulation right now.

Matthew 24 - 8-9

"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all Nations for My name's sake.

90,000 christians were murdered in 2016 alone.   Does your Pastor Finn know what the word tribulation means.   Oxford English Dictionary: trouble and suffering.   Christians are already suffering tribulation and it will increase.

But the good news is:   

Matthew 24 - 22

"And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened."

Pastor Finn is going to have to stand before God one day along with his money making buddies and explain himself.    Some consider if they say sorry after living lives of utter indulgence they will enter heaven regardless, I wouldn't bet on it.  Coptic christians in the Middle East have been beheaded for their refusal to deny Christ surely theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.   I seriously doubt whether many christians in the West would even consider that scenario.   They have a 'Peter mindset' and will be in the queue for the chip protesting it's just for my medical records or I can't buy petrol without it, how can I run my car? - try catching a bus!! a train!! or a plane.   But then even that will be controlled so its back to the bike and peddle power.

And can you tell your whacky friend Samantha Jones that the "bride of christ" is the remnant of believers around the globe and that she is not going to float up into the clouds in her parachute of a wedding dress into the arms of her Ronan Keating look alike.

Yeshua was Jewish and according to Isaiah 53

"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering.   Like from whom men hide their faces, He was despised and we esteemed Him not.

Of course those who have had a glimpse of His glory say He is beautiful but actually its His gaze that captivates and very few can even start to give a description of His features.   Held in His gaze the experience literally leaves the spectator in awe, breathless and speechless.   

Ms Jones is in danger of walking straight past Him into the arms of Satan who it is said is incredibly handsome and charismatic.   On the other hand he will lead her up the garden path and then DOWN when his real personality will be revealed.  TOO LATE like a fly caught in a web.   Don't say I didn't warn you and stop trying to second guess God's timing, stick to scripture.

"Okay" replied Sandra "you win and I'm really glad we didn't find ourselves left behind I don't reckon much to this world."

"One day at a time" replied her mother "we watch and we wait and help as many as we can in the days ahead. 

"Dinner's on the table there's some chips!!!! the edible kind.

We can do a great deal of the wisest, truest good among men without giving money.

A strong hand reached out to help a fallen one rise again is better than money.

Use what you have.

All God asks us to give to others is of such as we have.

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.
