And keep current. How about current events? So here's our update for today, and today is 12-1-24. And Israel's still at war, and the 101 hostages are still being held. They did have a some talk about hostages this week, whatever that's worth. They had this ceasefire. It's still in place, but it's already been broken. Both sides are accusing the other of breaking the ceasefire and everything. But here's what always happens. Iran sees fresh ceasefire as a chance to take stock and rebuild Hezbollah. That's what they do. But I can guarantee you, Israel is doing their thing too. And they continue with what we call PSYOPs. Some of you may have heard that term. You don't know what it means. So I'll tell you it's a psychological operations is what that means. It means it's what they did for COVID. Telling you the death rate was 3.4% when it was well under 1%. Telling you that if you got the shot, it would keep you from spreading it and would help you get over having COVID and all that. And it was all a lie. and telling you that wearing a mask protected you and then also really protected other people. Masks do protect the other person under controlled circumstances. So when you're getting a surgery done, You know, the doctors and nurses wear a mask so that if they cough or hack or spit or something, it doesn't go into the wound. But as far as viruses, those masks were useless. Always have been, always will be. So that's the kind of thing that we're talking about when we talk about PSYOPs. And so Hamas released a PSYOP video of a captive IDF soldier named Aydin Alexander. And he compared to what he looked like before. He looked very skinny, very pale, and he was forced to read what they tell him to read and all that. So he called on the U.S. and Israeli governments to work for his release, which they are, but they're not going to give away the farm. It's just crazy that the world is so wicked. Hamas took these hundred and some, now they have 101 hostages, and the people who hate Israel and are screaming about Israel fighting this war hardly ever mention these hostages. Hardly ever mention them. And then we have Joe Biden's anti-Israel on full display. And when we talk about political issues, I want you to understand, it rarely has anything to do with elections. We're telling you the reality, the world you live in. And Joe Biden is going to step down January 20th, and we'll have a new president. But between now and then, he's still president. And so you see this? This was the New York Post. After months of undermining Israel, Biden shows off a book claiming Jewish state shouldn't exist. See that book down there in his hand? It's called The Hundred Years War on Palestine. And the whole book is written on the premise of the Palestinian people, which are a myth. And there's never been a Palestine nation. And they, it says President Biden sent an incendiary message to Israel and Jewish Americans yesterday, walking out of an Nantucket bookstore holding The Hundred Years War on Palestine. A book by a radical Columbia University professor that argues that Israel shouldn't exist. and is the product of a colonial war against Palestinians. The senile old reprobate goes into a bookstore and that's the book he not only buys, he comes out holding it so everybody can see what he bought. Well this is the history that the leftist Marxist death cult doesn't want you to know. For centuries, Jewish communities flourished in Arab lands and Iran, Baghdad, Cairo, Tehran and beyond. They were doctors, merchants, poets and rabbis, shaping the cultural landscape while preserving their unique traditions. Their roots ran deep, and their heritage was an integral part of the region's history. But starting in the mid-20th century, this rich history faced sudden upheaval. Across the Arab world and Iran, rising anti-Jewish persecution and violence targeted these communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee their homes in the face of rising hostility. In Iraq, during the Farhud of 1941, violent pogroms left hundreds of Jews dead, homes and businesses looted, and thousands more injured. It was a devastating wake-up call for the Jewish community that had lived in Baghdad for over 2,500 years. In Egypt, the Suez Crisis of 1956 brought with it waves of arrests and expulsions. Jewish families were stripped of their citizenship, their assets seized, and given only days to leave the country. In Libya, where Jews had lived for centuries, anti-Jewish riots in 1945 resulted in the deaths of over 140 Jews, and again in 1967, Jews faced widespread violence and were ultimately forced to flee. By 1970, there were no Jews left in Libya. Today we commemorate this history not as a footnote but as a vital chapter of the Jewish and Israeli story. The experiences of Jews from Arab lands and Iran are woven into the fabric of Israeli society, shaping our culture, music, language and cuisine. This National Day of Commemoration is about more than just remembering the past. It is a call for justice and recognition for the nearly one million Jews who faced expulsion, loss and trauma. Their suffering must not be forgotten, and their stories deserve to be heard. Today, we honor their courage, their contributions, and the legacy they built from the ashes of persecution. We remember, we share their stories, and we vow to preserve their memory, for the sake of truth, for justice, and for future generations. Now that's all very important information, history. And on a human level, it's wrong what has been done to the Jews across the continent of Europe and North Africa and parts of Africa. And it's wrong what's happening here in America, Canada, and elsewhere here in North and South America. But always view it from the biblical perspective. God said in the last days he would bring them from all these countries into their land, and that's happening right before our eyes. even said he would send out hunters. And they've been hunted down and run from those countries, like Libya, and come to where they're at in their land. And that land doesn't belong to the Palestinians, it belongs to God. And Deuteronomy 11, 11, go back and check that out, he describes his land that he's given to Israel, beginning with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We stand with Israel, amen? Speaking of death cults, number two, in the United Kingdom, I don't know if you saw this, but the United Kingdom has now stepped into euthanasia. Like most countries, they've been killing babies for decades. Now they're going to start killing the mentally handicapped, elderly, sick, and so forth. These are some of the headlines just a couple days ago. Assisted dying is what they're calling it. Assisted dying. Set to become legal within three years after they took a historic vote in Parliament. This is another one. Assisted dying. MPs take historic step into unknown. Well, it's not really unknown. You start killing people like that, it's just downhill. Darkness. Darkness. Like we were reading in Isaiah 60 this morning. And of course, the person behind the assisted dying bill is a liberal white woman. I'm just telling you, there's in every, both sexes and every race and so forth, there's bad people, but one of the great tools of Satan right now is liberal white women. Britain's Parliament voted in favour of a new bill to legalise assisted dying on Friday. The ayes to the right, 330. The noes to the left, 275. The ayes have it, the ayes have it. The vote opens the way for months of further debate over an issue that has sparked a national conversation over dignity in death and end-of-life care. Here is Labour lawmaker, Kim Leadbeater. Look, we've shown Parliament in its best light today. Very respectful, very compassionate debate, irrespective of the different views that people hold. We take the Bill to the next stage now, we continue the process and it will be a very thorough process. The Bill would provide mentally competent terminally ill adults in England and Wales who are assessed by doctors to have six months or less left to live the right to choose to end their lives with medical help. As it makes its way through both the House of Commons and the House of Lords it could still be changed or even voted down. Those in favour of the Bill say it is about shortening the death of those who are terminally ill and giving them more control. But opponents say vulnerable ill people may feel they should end their lives for fear of being a burden to their families and society rather than prioritizing their own well-being. Others expressed concern that there had not been enough time to consider the bill before voting. People in favor of a sister dying who had gathered in groups outside Parliament hugged and cheered after the result of the vote was announced. If the law comes in quickly enough, yeah, it'll give me a bit of insurance in my pocket in case things go a bit squiffy. There are a lot of people who it's going to help. Hopefully I'll be one of them. There are so many people out there that have a hope that they may not have to suffer the way that so many loved ones have suffered in the past. The bill would change the law in England and Wales. As to the other countries in the United Kingdom, Scotland is considering a change to its own law to allow assisted dying, but there are no such proposals in Northern Ireland. A doctor tells you you have six months to live and then you say, well, let's just go and get this over with. I met a man in the late 90s who was given six months to live around 1980. This was in the late 90s. So he had been given six months to live about 18 years before that. You'll find people, those stories are all over the place. Doctors don't know when you're gonna die. Doctor tells you, anytime a doctor says you have a certain amount of time to live, you're looking at a quack. He's not practicing medicine. There's no way he can tell you that. So then you're going to build an entire industry of killing people on that quackery, and it's all about the money. But, and just like with COVID, this is the kind of advertisements they have on billboards and on the internet and everything, and in print newspapers and everything, because they know that a huge portion of society is just brain dead. They just know that. This is an ad for killing people. My dying wish is my family won't see me suffer and I won't have to. She's in her pajamas, dancing in the kitchen. Yay! I mean, what kind of shallow, mentally inept person would be influenced by that kind of advertising? Pretty much everybody who watches The View, for example, But again, the Bible goggles come on, you and I live on death planet. And if you don't come to the light, you are in darkness, you don't love life, you love death. That's all there is to it. And that goes for everybody you know. If they are not full of the light of Christ, you will find them either openly or at least with their vote and even sometimes their money supporting death, supporting abortion, supporting euthanasia. And this just gives you, I just love this from Jack Chick, gives you a little background insight to remember as you're dealing with all these people. In an open act of disobedience, both Adam and Eve, by eating the forbidden fruit, sinned before God. They lost their innocence. Both of them died spiritually, and sin passed on to their descendants like a virus. As a result, none of us is without sin. God hates sin and will not allow it in his presence. The curse of death was upon all mankind and on the earth. The Lord cursed the ground to bring forth thorns and thistles as a result of sin. Therefore, the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken. As a result, Satan took control of this world system. Man no longer had dominion over all the earth and was now a slave to the prince of darkness and his demonic legions. Yet God in his love promised to send a savior to undo the damage caused by Adam. COVID was a fraud. Utopia, transhumanism, the singularity, it's all a big fraud. That's reality. Sin has come into the world and death passed upon all men for that all have sinned. We are born with a sinful nature, that's why babies die sometimes. Babies get sick. And once you reach the point where you can mentally, spiritually understand God, God's law, sin, and the reality that you are a sinner, you become accountable before God. There's no age of accountability. It's a condition. And once you reach that condition, you must be born again or you go to hell. And if you're not born again, that sinful nature, no matter how good you think you might be, that sinful nature still reigns in you. And that explains why the mass majority of human beings today love death, love abortion. The state of Ohio, yes, voted for Donald Trump, voted for J.D. Vance to be our senator, voted for guys who said they were pro-life and everything. But what happened when abortion hit the referendum? Ohio enshrined baby murder into the Constitution because they were shown what's in their heart. There better be people getting saved. There better be a revival. Otherwise, we're going further and further into the darkness if you don't have Jesus. We choose life. You choose Jesus because he is life. Over in John 11, 25, and 26, Jesus is talking to Martha. He says, under her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. But then he asks this question, believest thou this? If you do not believe it and you do not receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you're lost. You're going to hell. And you still have a sinful nature that is ruling over you and that's why you find yourself constantly doing things against God's Word and doing things that even hurt yourself because you're ruled by a sinful nature until you're born again. And even then, you have got to be in His Word and allowing His Spirit to rule in your life, or you can make shipwreck and fall as a Christian as well. You still have that sinful nature until this life is over. Amen, amen. Be informed. Pray accordingly.
