In an interview dating back 38 years, defected KGB spy, Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, made a very sobering prediction about the United States. He warned that America could be defeated through an incremental process of ideological subversion. He defined it this way: âWhat it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, … [Read more...] about Ideological Subversion
Prophecy
The Jungle Grows Back
A book titled The Jungle Grows Back is an indicator of prophetic advancement, and can be used as an analogy for our own personal spiritual lives. These are my words, not the authorâs, as I draw the analogy. The jungle represents the Babylonian system of human government; a system developed post-flood and is the underlying system throughout the four world-ruling kingdoms as revealed by the image of Daniel 2. From the reign of Nebuchadnezzar to the kingdoms existing at the return of Jesus … [Read more...] about The Jungle Grows Back
The Decline of the American Empire
A cursory examination of history reveals that the United States is mired in the same process that precipitated the collapse of the great empires of the past. Empires are defined as great military and economic powers encompassing large occupied or controlled land areas. The foibles and failures of human nature and their impact on the rise and fall of empires is amazingly consistent and the end result always inevitable. In 1976, Sir John Glubb, a distinguished British diplomat and general, … [Read more...] about The Decline of the American Empire
The Power of a Common Enemy
In February 2022, China and Russia unveiled a plan for a new world order.

The entire situation with Ukraine began … [Read more...] about The Power of a Common Enemy
Itâs a Dark World
We can each provide a personal perspective of the world and current events. We form opinions each day as we try to take in the vast scale of all that is happening. Whatever your view, it is most probably influenced by a dark world. King David has an interesting insight into the working of an unconverted mind. It seems he was inspired to write about manâs wickedness as though he were seeing our day today: "Transgression (lawlessness) speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear … [Read more...] about Itâs a Dark World
An End Time Indicator
In Matthew 24:12, the context of a statement by Christ is the time indicating Christâs coming and the end of the age. There are two points that immediately stand out with this statement. First, we can know as a fact that lawlessness will increase. Second, love will grow cold as a result. We can easily acknowledge the first by observation of the world around us. That lawlessness is increasing is an absolute fact. Lawlessness is defined as, âillegality, that is, violation of law or … [Read more...] about An End Time Indicator
Why Israel?
The Bible is replete with the use of the word Israel but today it is confusing and often misunderstood. What is being referred to are the multiple nations that came from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), and his 12 sons. But God's plan includes all people of all nations. Abraham's family was only the first step in God's amazing plan. So, why Israel? The Bible plainly says this about the nation of Israel: âFor you are a holy people to the … [Read more...] about Why Israel?
