OUR TIME IS ALMOST UP!

 Dear friends,


This article is about end times prophecy but with heavy duty political overtones. If that bothers you don't read. But, if you are sincerely interested in what may well lay ahead for all of us---I encourage you to at least consider my opinion.

About one year before Donald Trump was elected president, I was praying and specifically asked if trump would be elected? The answer I received Deep down in my spirit--Was Yes, he would be elected President of the United States. I shared that with a personal friend who I am very close to-- who promptly told me I was crazy. So, we put a dinner be on it---and I won that bet.

No one is infallible when it to comes to praying, including myself. I do know that there have been many times I've heard specifically from the Lord. And the proof of that, is the success of the organisation the Lord used me to begin and that I eventually retired from. Still During those years, there were times that I was in a hurry while praying, and learned the hard way it is possible to be listening to your own well-intentioned voice and believe deep  down inside you that the Lord has spoken. That did not happen many times but it did happen and that is why I take my time before I make major decisions. Because I have learned that if I do it the Lords way it will be successful, if I do it my way it may work but never ever the way He intended.

I make this clarification to you, Because after Trump's first term in office I asked the Lord once again if Donald Trump would be re-elected to office. I was taking my time and not rushing things. And I asked several times. Once again the response I received was YES he will be re-elected. So when the final tally was in and Joe Biden was elected president, my reaction was oh well, I sure didn't hear Lord that time.

Now I'm seeing things coming into to view that I believe are setting the stage for a final round of prophecy before the rapture. Bearing in mind that the rapture is an imminent event---nothing has to take place first. I believe part of what is coming will be Donald Trump returning to the office of President once more. In the end I believe that I did hear correctly, I simply did not understand the circumstances and all that would come before the answer to my prayer was realised.

So let me turn my attention to the subject of Donald Trump as President. First I do not consider myself to be a Republican or Democrat. What I am is a biblical conservative and I am ready regardless of party to give Kudos If something is done correctly, and I will be very vocal and speak out if something is done incorrectly. So why would a person like me, with 35 years in pastoral ministry, even consider voting for somebody like Donald Trump?

First of all, I have to say that he is undoubtedly one of the worst, self aggrandising Braggart's that I have ever seen. There were times during his first four years that I cringed at some of the things he was saying.  Regardless of it all  that, he was still my president and I will tell you why.

At the time of his first selection, The nation in general and specifically both the evangelical side of the church and also right-wing conservatives were sick and tired of what was going on in Washington DC. All of us realised it and we wanted change. Washington D.C. was a miserable, alligator infested political swamp that no previous president was able to make a dent in. And we wanted it cleaned up. Many of us including myself,  looked at Donald Trump and decided he could do the job, even with his personality failings. He was a successful businessman, and he did not come from a political background.

What we wanted, was a junk yard dog to go to Washington DC and clean that mess up. And a junk yard dog was exactly what we got, a fighter and the scrapper. A man who will not back up for anybody and a man who had enough money in his own right that we would not have to worry about corruption on a  personal basis. And frankly it meant something to me that he donated his entire Presidential paycheck.

We did not elect a man because of his personality or because he said nice things, or because he kissed anybody behind. We elected a man to do a job and as far as I'm concerned he did that job including, keeping his promises, Particularly where Israel was concerned which is very important for people like me.

In the process of doing what we elected him to do which was clean up that miserable swamp, he ticked a lot of people off--Specifically Washington insiders who I do believe many are members of the deep state government who are intent on keeping their own positions of power, no matter what.

The proof of the pudding is that the people he upset were and are deep state operatives who need to be GONE from the public square!

One last point regarding his personality: There were so many Conservatives and in particular Christians, who were wringing their hands because of his mean-spirited tweets. Well I have news for you friends I believe I figured that out from the very beginning. What he did was nothing short of brillient! Pres. Trump Realised that all he had to do was put out some mean-spirited tweet, or call the news organisations names, or give some ridiculous nickname to a political opponent, and he was literally sucking the oxygen out of the news world for the next 5 to 10 days. In the meantime while everybody was ringing their hands and saying oh what a horrible man he is, I believe he sat back in the big chair and was chuckling. Playing a decidedly unpolitical game, writing executive orders, And getting things straightened out which is exactly what we put him in office to do. When he realised that he had gotten everything out of the news he could possibly get, he simply made another tweet--got everybody's attention again and continue to laugh and get things done in a way that many people including newscasters did not even notice. And every single insult hurled at him, the more popular he became with his base---AND THE BUCKS CAME ROLLING IN TO HIS CAMPAIGN!

Smart, very smart as far as I am concerned. 

The thing about Donald Trump that I'm not sure people appreciate---? But have you noticed? Since he left office, Afghanistan fell completely apart, Both China and Russia are threatening the world, Iran is still pushing for nuclear weapons, North Korea Is now once again a pain in everyone's side, and turkey is coming dangerously close to withdrawing from NATO. Israel is under attack nearly constantly, and the United States military has become so week that it could barely fight a war on one ocean let alone two.

We do have a breakthrough of sorts on the abortion issue but that is because of Trumps picks for the Supreme Court. And who replaced him? We have an EXTREMELY WEAK man in the White House now who is actively pushing the agenda of gay rights and transgenderism---even on our school children.

None of that  happened under Trump when he was president. Specifically Russia and China were very quiet during the Trump years because they realised that they were looking at a very strong man who would follow through on his threats if they got out of line. Now we have a weak man in the White House and the world is talking about nuclear holocaust.

So does all this mean that I want Donald Trump to be back in office as president? Yes, absolutely I do as a biblical conservative because I believe that he is good for his word. 

This past week we saw the United States government taking unprecedented action in a raid of the personal dwelling of a past president and if you think that was done for any other reason than for keeping him from running for office again, I think you need to think again.

Whatever the deep state intended with that raid,  it has done exactly the opposite. People are flocking to Trumps camp and solidifying his base of millions upon millions of his supporters. History may record that the 2024 election was just handed to Trump by his worst enemies! Not to mention MILLIONS now pouring into his war chest and more than ever support for him to run again. And I sincerely believe he will be making an announcement sometime in the next couple of months.

My question to you who are reading this is; Do you really want to drain  the swamp or is that just so much political rhetoric?

I want to tackle another subject in this article that has to do with Biblical end times prophecy. If you're reading this article at all it's probably because you believe that the Bible is the word of God and you're interested and what is going to come upon this world. First of all, A ONE WORD GOVERNMENT is clearly shaping up right now before very eyes, That's the a subject for a different article but it is happening. A one world religion is also forming before our eyes right nowIn the form of the rapidly developing, CRISLAM. There is a very real possibility we are looking at in the next year or two a one world monetary system---the stage is already being set by Pres. Joe Biden to do away with the American dollar and to go to a form of Crypto  currency or some other issue, that could completely take away your ability and manage your own money. 

On another front I can see  Ezekiel chapter 38 & 39 developing before my eyes, with the rise of Gog From the land of Magog, In the form of Russia's current struggle to rise in power. Future prophecy also tells us the time will come when the antichrist who will be seated in Jerusalem, declaring himself to be God, will have a powerful army come against him of 200 million men, from the kings of the east. The undisputed king of the east right now is China. The stage is being set for the battle of Armageddon in The Valley of Megiddo.

All of those things and more are coming to fruition as I'm writing this message. I can't give you specific times nor can I predict the exact time of the rapture but I do believe that's on the near horizon as well.

This next election for President of The United States is ultimately important and I do believe Donald Trump will become president again and I do believe that he will help to usher in some end times  prophecies, including setting the stage for the signing of the seven your peace pact between the antichrist, Israel and her neighbors in the Middle East. Let's not be jumping hurdles here because I am not saying Donald Trump is The antichrist nor am I saying that his son-in-law Jarid Kushner is the antichrist either. But it was under the Trump years that we see the forming of the Abraham Accords. For the first time in centuries Arab and Muslim Nations were beginning to snuggle up to Israel and are talking about peace. Don't think for a minute they love Israel, or the jews because nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is they're doing this because they're petrified of Iran And I believe that Iran will develop a nuclear weapon, and hold all Middle East countries hostage to their power.

There have been many times over the generations that the Lord has used otherwise well-meaning people, to set the stage for future prophecies to be Realised. And I believe that Trump becoming president again will be another example of exactly that.

As far as America goes; No matter who the next president is, America is on a downhill slide into oblivion and I believe that is the reason why we cannot find specific mention of the USA in any end times prophecies.,

There is a lot of speculation these days about America being Mystery Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots as listed in chapter 17 of the book of Revelation.

35 years ago when I first entered the ministry, I could not see that correlation. Today, a very short 35 years later I'm no longer sure and I am beginning to believe according to scripture, America/ Babylon may well be totally destroyed. And I think that time could be Immediately after the rapture the church, but once again that's a subject for another time.


After reading this article, you of course are free to agree or disagree with anything I have said. Only time will tell, but I believe that America Is in big time trouble whether Pres. Trump is elected again or not. 


One final word for you never Trumpers! I did not vote for a pastor--I voted for a junk yard dog!


God bless,

Pastor Rance.

SO NOW MEN CAN HAVE BABIES? REALLY?

Dear friends,


The  world has gone crazy--Flat out crazy.

Last week a woman with a college degree testified before the United States Congress than men can have babies.

There's not a doctor in a the world that would agree with that but that is what is being pushed in the latest doctrine of the far left-wing agenda of total insanity.

A report was published on May 16, 2022 by Israel 365 news, the author being Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz and the title is "The left thinks that men can get pregnant", and they say it was prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah.

Considering the fact that men produce sperm not eggs and the fact there is no uterus on a man, or Vagina and therefore no birth canal, it is amazing to me that anyone in the United States Congress would even listen to that kind of stupidity.

The scripture that is quoted from Jeremiah to justify this is Jeremiah chapter thirty verse 6 which is asking rhetorical question? It says "Ask and see: Surely males do not bear young"----!

The reason that they can get away with falsely quoting scripture is because so few people are reading their Bibles these days--to cross check them.

We would call that fake news!!!

The subtext of this article is recorded From Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland which reported that students are studying to become midwives to deliver babies From 'birthing persons' with a penis.

Okay folks remember that this is a university. This is just the latest case of lunacy promoted by the political left who are now claiming that men could get pregnant. This  trash has infected western culture and it has manifested itself in various aspects of technology in entertainment throughout America.

Earlier this year Apple released several knew emojis as part of the ios 15.5 series update. One of them being of a pregnant man. Netflix is streaming  a Japanese program called 'He is expecting' which stars a pregnant man.

More recently, Calvin Klein's Mother's Day ad campaign pandered to the politically correct by featuring a pregnant transgender man and referring to this person as a biological woman. That drew massive criticism on social media. AND IT SHOULD!

Now it is announced that there will be a new group of homosexual and transgender super heroes.

Unfortunately this is not just a cultural problem because it is also impacting Academia. The idea of male pregnancy found its way into a recent article in Medical News Today, that asked the question--Can men become pregnant? Went on to report that some transgender men and non-binary people can become pregnant. I want to remind you that I'm quoting a medical journal here. The article investigated the possibility of uterine transplants that would enable  biological men to give birth. It discussed the difference between sex and gender, describing it as a 'social construct'.

Unlike a person with pre-determined biological sex,  and individual reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics defined, genetics alone do not determine a person's gender, the article claimed.

I don't normally quote Rabbinical sources but I found one by Rabbi Yosef  Berger to be very interesting stating that 'the transgender movement is the last stage of idolatry that precedes the coming of Messiah, King Jesus. To be honest he does not mention Jesus as he would not be expected to but Jesus is the Messiah as I point out.

Rabbi Berger makes the point that idolatry is man trying to replace God, and I cannot agree with him more. God determines a person's sex before he comes into the world and rejecting this aspect of 'yourself' is actually rejecting your relationship with God.

Just a few years ago something as stupid as this would never have been discussed. But now some people are trying to create a reality that does not exist. It is only a very twisted image but gullible people are buying into it in droves.

Surely the ancient people who originally overheard that prophecy first hand must have thought it was absurd, that there was no possibility that such a thing as a man giving birth could ever come to pass. But just like depravity and idolatry increased in ancient Egypt, so to is this happening again today. 


So let's talk about our President Joe Biden We will call this section 'Biden versus the Bible'.

The transgender issue in America affects less than .6% of US adults but it has become a platform of the Biden administration who is endorsing it strongly. While on the campaign trail and October 2020, Biden promised to legalise transition treatments for children from one sex to the other.

This is pure 100% evil. This is satan himself attempting to take over the rules established by a Holy God and in the long run he will note get away with it. But for now he has taken President Biden captive along with millions of people getting on his transexual bandwagon.

The idea that an eight-year-old child or a 10-year-old can decide for themselves, apart from their parents knowledge that they want to become transgender should never be allowed and yet there are some school districts and teachers who are introducing and teaching this idiocy to children. 

Pres. Biden made good on his promise by appointing a person by the name of Rachel Lavine, an openly transgender biological man to be the assistant secretary for Health. Lavine who is the father of two children is in an important position within the Federal government--- dresses like a woman and is advocating for transition treatments for minors. If you have read the news you will know that those  transition treatments include breast removal for girls, and penis and testicle removal for boys.

And our government is pushing, at least under this administration, to pay for this insanity and surgery which these children will grow to regret for the rest of their lives and will not be able to reverse.

Last month Biden made a speech for international transgender day, beginning with a statement that shows the depth of his faith and his belief in the Bible, or perhaps I should say disbelief, claiming that transgender's are made in the image of God. This of course is a gross misrepresentation of the Bible because, specifically---God created man in his image, God created man to be male and female, Genesis 1:27.

I say to whoever is reading this article, this is not only terminal insanity but it is the grossest form of sin and the planned instruction of our children by evil people who want to not only destroy our children but destroy our great American way.

You may not realise that there are our over 350 million people in United States, About 250 million of them claim to be Christians. So I ask? That is a huge voting block so why oh why is the church allowing this to happen?

Anybody looking at what is happening not only in America but around the world may now understand that homosexual is being celebrated as are transgender's competing in women's sports, not to mention the abortions of hundreds of millions of dead babies. Can anybody doubt that we are in the end times in this world?


Maranatha!

AND NATO STICKS IT'S COLLECTIVE FINGER UP PUTIN'S NOSE!

Hello fellow traveler's---in a world gone crazy!


Isn't it amazing---To end WWII the USA used two Atomic bombs on Japan, Years later the world was under nuclear threat when Russia attempted to place Nuclear weapons in Cuba.

AND here we are again--Russia threatening Nuclear reprisals if the USA and NATO countries interfere in an unrighteous war against the Ukrainean people.

Will we never learn!??? As with all things human, there  are several different sides to this story. 

So from the top:  I think it is totally detestable that a Nuclear power the size of Russia would wage war against a much smaller nation, in this case Ukraine, Regardless of the reason. I'm frankly tired of hearing people say maybe Russia is right because the government of Ukraine has a long history  of corruption and dishonesty. So, I have to comment about that. First, can anybody reading this article honestly look at their own government and tell me there are not crooked politics, greed, and downright abuse of power working in your own home country?

Secondly, if the Ukrainean Government were the worst on the entire planet, it will not justify  the wholesale killing of hundreds and thousands of citizens including both women and children. So this war simply cannot be justified.

I do not excuse the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin in the slightest way for what he is doing, nor do I believe it is right. However there is a second side of the story and if we are being honest we do have a look at both sides Before we render any verdict.

After World War II  Russia begin gobbling up surrounding countries and solidify this massive empire into the old USSR and they began building  nuclear weapons at an unprecedented rate.

This began a weapons race between Russia and United States and also other countries such as Great Britain,  France and a number of other countries who climbed on the bandwagon of nuclear weapons. And the whole thing ended up in a Cold War which means the countries like the US  and the USSR were mortal enemies without open warfare. The did not  get along at all, but they were able to craft a nuclear treaty, which I doubt either side really suck to. And there was a catch phrase invented, called "Mutually  Assured Destruction".

What that meant was that both sides realised that if either one pushed the nuclear button the other side would do the same and both countries would be destroyed. And that is basically the way the world lived for 70 years---on the verge of nuclear war. 

Then during Pres. Reagan's time in office he was able to put so much economic pressure on the Soviet Union plus spent so much money on new weapons, that the USSR was not able to keep up---and iut destroyed their economy. The result being that the entire USSR came tumbling down, leaving Russia to try and pick up the pieces in that and part of the world. 


The West formed a new treaty organisation after World War II, to provide a hedge of protection against further expansion by the Soviet Union. What that meant was approximately 2 countries banded together, basically led by the United States (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) which consisted if 12 nations. 

And when the USSR fell apart the reason for the NATO to exist disappeared. But even though NATO's job was no more, it continued to expand ever eastward toward Russia. The original NATO became 30 countries and has been a continual threat to Russia--at least in the Russian mindset. 

The current president of Russia, Vladimir Putin has been in office for many years. I can see his view point. That does not mean he has the right to invade other countries but in all of the years since the USSR fell apart, Russia has a attacked immediate neighbors but it has never shown aggression toward any nations within NATO.

Mr. Putin has been telling the world for a lot of years that he is concerned about the safety of Mother Russia because has expanded so far eastward toward his territory. Frankly no one has been Listening and then they wonder why Russia attacked Ukraine. I believe that the reasons Putin has attacked Ukraine is to provide protection between Russia and further expansion by NATO countries. Also, to be perfectly honest, the Ukraine is a breadbasket with a lot of natural resources and I'm quite sure that Russia has  it's sights set on those as well. Plus, Ukraine also has a number of nuclear power plants which would be good for Russia to posses. 

The issue at stake are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian people being displaced from their country, their homes being destroyed, entire cities having there buildings and infrastructure destroyed which is not doing anybody any good and is putting a heavy burden on surrounding countries who are absorbing all of these refugees.

Because of Russia's invasion of the Ukraine the United States and other NATO countries banded together to begin providing the Ukrainian government with weapons to fight the Russians. From the outset, President Putin has warned the world about other countries NOT becoming involved.  And if they did, Russia would maintain the right to retaliate with nuclear weapons . So far nobody is taken this seriously and the United States Government has just approved another $30 billion in both military and humanitarian aid.  Other nations have also been sending weapons to Ukraine to kill the Russians. On the other side of the spectrum it is clear that the Russian army have in excessively brutal ways, raping and pillaging the countryside and utilising other tactics that are considered by the world to be war crimes.

Throughout WW II, at least 3 countries maintained neutrality, which means that they did not take either side of the war. One of them is Switzerland which frankly was used by all sides for banking purposes.  

Two of the other countries to maintain Neutrality we're Sweden and Finland. In the case of Finland it shares a common boarder which is several hundred miles long, with Russia. Now that Sweden and Finland are witnessing what Russia is doing to Ukraine, fear has risen among their government officials and much of their populations that they could be the next to be targeted for Russian expansionism. So now  both nations have voted to seek membership in NATO which would expand  NATO nations to 32 countries standing against Mother Russia.

This week in the news, this is the headline, "Ruling parties in Sweden and Finland are now seeking NATO membership in a historic shift away from neutrality.

My Friends of this happens, their is a real possibility that this war between Russia and Ukraine could expand---DRASTICALLY. There are those that say the Russian Army has not done a good job and is sustaining massive casualties, and it is true that  Russia has lost a lot of but let us not forget that Russia is the largest nuclear power on the face of the planet even much more so than the United States. 

This thing could escalate far beyond Anything that We have seen before on this planet.

Biblically speaking I don't see a third world war except for the approaching war of Armageddon which is at some point in the future after the anti-christ steps onto the scene and causes to be signed a seven-year peace pact between Israel and her neighbors.

But in full disclosure the Bible does not specifically speak about World War I War World War II or Korea or Vietnam or a number of other large-scale conflicts that have happened.

I certainly don't blame the western nations wanting to protect Sweden and Finland and help out the Ukrainian people, But I do not personally believe that there has been a serious effort to sit down and workout these problems and bring peace to the situation. The general attitude seems to be Putin, "Bad dog bad dog". But it's time for leaders of the world to look at the 'bad dogs' position and at least considered the fact that Russian leadership does feel threatened by NATO's extreme expansion. There has  to be a way to resolve these issues without a massive escalation in this war.

 In closing let me just say in my opinion this is the closest the world has been to nuclear destruction the entire time since the USA dropped 2 Atomic bombs on Japan to end World War II.  Let us hope the next two do not START World War.
