CLIMATE FEAR PROPAGANDA

 Foreign leaders are gathering in Glasgow to discuss climate change as Boris Johnson declares his doomsday prediction "We are a minute to midnight to stop climate disaster." Similar fear propaganda was being peddled in the 1980's and the predicted outcomes did not materialise. No one can deny in some areas of the world there is climate change but to forecast 'the end of the world is nigh' is a step to far. With the Covid threat in the rear view mirror there are those who seem intent on promoting and propogating  a climate of fear. Four out of ten young people fear having children because of climate change and climate catastrophe anxiety is being reported in young people. All this whilst world leaders sip champagne and eat caviar, whilst pouring tons of carbon in the atmosphere whilst they zoom around the world in their private jets.

In 1987 a scientist predicted the earth temperature rise would be 5.7 to date the temperature rise is less than 1. In 1986 scientist predicted a two foot sea level rise in Florida to date the rise has been one inch. In 2013 it was predicted that the Artic would be free of ice by 2020. Enough said!

However the Bible is clear in Revelation chapter 21 this world we live upon does have a shelf life, it is temporary. There will be a new heaven and a new earth coming down from above in which "Behold the dwelling place of God is with man" "All things have become new."  God shall wipe away all tears and mourning "Death shall be no more." We have so much to look forward too. Jesus confirmed this when He said in Mathew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away." So climate change activists can keep their doomsday messages of doom and gloom and predicted chaos, the God who created all is in charge and has everything under control. So sleep soundly, fear not, trust in Him.

NO TIME TO BLASPHEME

 Last week I went to view the latest 007 film. It was a great film, it had the gadgets, the car, the chases and a great story line. However within the first thirty minutes of the film both 'M' and 'James Bond' had cussed using the name of Jesus Christ. I was disappointed and kept asking myself 'Why'? I imagined an outcome if they had used the name of Muhammad to cuss and swear. Would cinemas have been burnt down? Just how big would the outcry have been? 

It was unnecessary and so easy to omit from the script. Was I offended? Probably not, but I did feel sad? Sad in the same way if they had used a close family members name, someone I love. As a Christian Jesus is my family and I love Him. He is also King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev 19:6). He also has the highest name, “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name (Phil 2:9) Perhaps Christians should challenge more? Perhaps we should be asking the question "Out of all the religious leaders names you could use to cuss, why do you use Jesus'?"

MISSED CALLING?

 
I cannot help but think Prince Harry has missed his calling some how. It wasn't a mistake he was born into the Royal Family, he was born a child with a destiny. In Acts 17:26 The Bible makes it clear "And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories." It isn't a mistake where we are born or to whom, it is part of Gods plan. 

Their final break with Royal Duties was announced yesterday following a year of reflection, they did up to that point have a way back. It would seem now all bridges are burned and many will be disappointed even hurt by this latest decision but did the Queen really have a choice? She has been stalwart in upholding and maintaining The UK Monarchy traditions at all costs and has weathered many storms. 

In a few days Oprah will release a interview with the Duke and Duchess and Netflix documentaries will follow. Yesterdays dig at the Queen began "As evidenced by their work over the past year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role." They are obviously still very much under the illusion that they can serve in a similar capacity, stripped off all the Royal services and protocols in another country! They finished their retort against the decision yesterday with these word "We can all live a life of service. Service is universal." They are deluded if they believe they are serving the British Monarchy from their fortress hideaway in Los Angeles or have even close to the opportunities they would have had if they remained as working Royals! 

The British Monarchy has been nicknamed 'The Firm' for a reason, everything they do is part of a hard working dedicated team, you are either in or out, you cannot be part of that team remotely! Harry was a big part of the Royal Family and carried out many duties and held many patronages, he was also very supportive of his brother the future King of England. However everything changed when he fell in love with Meghan Merkle. He wouldn't be the first royal to jump ship because of love, we have been here before, Wallis Simpson another American captured the heart of the king and led to a scandalous abdication. With every decision there are consequences and I believe one day Harry may wake up and think "What have I done." The countries they would have visited, the people they would have inspired, the patronages and charities they would have championed. The British Royal Family can open doors and provide opportunities may of us can only dream off. They are a well oiled machine, synchronized, reliable and dutiful to the end. Only God knows the opportunities that have been missed, the hearts and lives that could have been touched if they remained as working royals. The Queen has led by example, true life service to ones country requires great personal sacrifice, she has remained loyal to her calling, which will inspire many generations throughout the world to come.

ACQUITTED2

   Has Donald J Trump started a powerful MAGA movement in which supporters turn up in large numbers wearing red hats and waving patriotic flags to hear him speak? Yes. Did Donald J Trump galvanize millions of Americans to stand with him and support his claim the election was stolen? Yes. Did he successfully encourage tens of thousands to descend on Washington DC on January 6th to join a #saveamerica march and protest those claims? Yes. Did he at any time during the speech he made that day, or at any other time, incite or willfully encourage a small number in that great crowd on January 6th to commit illegal activity, storm the capitol building, incite them to cause injury, death, destruction of property and mayhem? No! That is why the not guilty outcome is the correct and proper one in a showcase trial which should never have been brought.

However I doubt very much the Democrats will stop. Nancy Pelosi is already calling the forty three Republicans who voted, in good conscience, against this impeachment trial 'Cowards!' The Democratic party have become unhinged in their hatred towards the former President, they have a blood thirst which apparently cannot be quenched. One such Democrat voiced their pleasure at the peace that will now descend on the USA now Trump is out of office failing to acknowledge that it was their party which brought the relentless sham impeachments and trails which so preoccupied the American people for four years.

I know many Christians all over the world have been, are praying in large numbers for the man, his movement and the USA. Moved by his encouragement of religious freedoms and free speech, his favourable policies toward Israel and his stance on abortion and the pro life movement. However I firmly believe it is because of these prayers so much is being shaken, so much hatred is being uncovered, so much corruption and blatant hypocrisy is being revealed. It isn't that long ago that we were seeing similar happenings in the UK over Brexit. Brexit was nothing more that a power struggle. Those in power cling tightly to it and fight hard and nasty to keep hold of it.

Jesus understood the times we are living in only too well. He was the most righteous man who ever lived however from the moment he opened his mouth they were plotting to kill Him, to destroy Him, to silence Him. His heart toward them was to heal them, for them to see their great need and turn to Him. "For this people's heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.' (Matthew 13:15.) He was the great healer, a man of great compassion and love, and yet they screamed "Crucify", "Crucify." Many are calling for the nation of America to heal and to come together in unity. However unity must be real, it must be grounded in truth, peace and love. You cannot fake it, it cannot be forced. His Kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. True peace can only come when the people invite Him 'The Prince of Peace' into their hearts into their lives, into their governments. Then a nation can change. Then a nation can heal. Then you will see true unity, then you will see true peace.

Never Forget This Day

Many are blasting Trump and his supporters for the supposed damage to democracy. However what about the damage inflicted on US democracy by the voter fraud? I have personally sat through and watched hours and hours of legislator hearings, including witness statements, affidavits and expert witnesses over the last few weeks in key swing states live streamed on NTD and Newsmax. There was clearly widespread voter and election fraud just enough to get Biden over the line. There was support for a commission to look into this in the house and senate yesterday but they just didn't have the numbers. Failure by the courts to even look at the evidence, mainstream media blackouts and denials and big tech censorship has in my opinion has only fueled the frustration of millions. Voter fraud has been an issue in the US for many years with no one having the appetite to face it head on, until now. I disagree with the assertion quite strongly that Donald Trump in anyway incited violence yesterday, support for his challenge yes, violence absolutely NOT! I don't think this is going away any time soon with US polls clearly showing millions on all sides believing the 2020 election was rigged. Those who were complicit in the election fraud must repent. A presidency founded on fraud and deceit will not prosper. Trump was right to call it out.
