endtimeheadlines--2020-06-18--2020 Has Been A Miserable Year, And Americans Are The Unhappiest They Have Been In Ages

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – What a year this has been so far .
First , the greatest public health crisis in 100 years hit us , then the U.S. economy imploded , and now the streets of many of our major cities resemble war zones after weeks of rioting , looting , and violence .
It has been one thing after another , and this has taken a great toll on the mental health of the American people .
Of course , we weren ’ t exactly in great shape coming into this year .
In 2019 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rate in the U.S. was at an all-time record high , alcohol-related deaths were at an all-time record high , and drug overdose deaths were at an all-time record high .
So the truth is that we were already deeply miserable before 2020 came along , and now a brand new survey has discovered that as a result of everything that has happened so far this year we have become even more unhappy… Spoiler alert : 2020 has been rough on the American psyche .
Folks in the U.S. are more unhappy today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 years .
This bold – yet unsurprising – conclusion comes from the COVID Response Tracking Study , conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago .
It finds that just 14 % of American adults say they ’ re very happy , down from 31 % who said the same in 2018 .
Would you say that you are “ very happy ” with your life ?
I hope so , and I would like to think that most of my readers are more content with their lives than the general population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would definitely label myself as “ very happy ” , but it looks like most of the population definitely does not feel the same way .

(OPINION) Michael Snyder – What a year this has been so far. First, the greatest public health crisis in 100 years hit us, then the U.S. economy imploded, and now the streets of many of our major cities resemble war zones after weeks of rioting, looting, and violence.
It has been one thing after another, and this has taken a great toll on the mental health of the American people. Of course, we weren’t exactly in great shape coming into this year. In 2019, it was being reported that the suicide rate in the U.S. was at an all-time record high, alcohol-related deaths were at an all-time record high, and drug overdose deaths were at an all-time record high.
So the truth is that we were already deeply miserable before 2020 came along, and now a brand new survey has discovered that as a result of everything that has happened so far this year we have become even more unhappy… Spoiler alert: 2020 has been rough on the American psyche. Folks in the U.S. are more unhappy today than they’ve been in nearly 50 years.

endtimeheadlines--2020-06-18--5 Characteristics of the Rising “Elijah Generation” in this Hour

( OPINION ) ETH – When I study the life of Elijah the Prophet and the timing of when he came on the scene to confront the evil and wicked rule and reign of Ahab and Jezebel as well as confronting a generation of compromise , I can ’ t help but see by the Spirit of the Lord that God is raising up not just a single man in this hour , but an entire generation that will be a “ Last Days ” remnant that will have the same spirit and zeal as Elijah and not coward down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
The following are five traits of Elijah that I believe will be seen again .
1- Elijah showed up to Ahab during a severe famine in the land .
Elijah the prophet appeared during a time of political tyranny and great wickedness from the leadership , and its administration in power .
When we take a look at the parallel of this with the current administration and even what may be coming down the road , we can see a scary pattern taking place .
Elijah was manifest to confront the powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the living God !
It doesn ’ t take anyone with a lot of discernment and spiritual insight to know that we have encountered and , could very well continue to encounter a famine of another Great Awakening , or outpouring , of God ’ s Spirit on a national level .
The churches of America are now full of entertainment , dead sermons , and complacent saints operating in no power or apostolic anointing .
Our churches are getting bigger and bigger while the signs and wonders are diminishing quickly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 Timothy 3:5 , that the last day ’ s churches would have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof and from such turn away .
This last-days Elijah generation is going to rise in the midst of this great spiritual drought and prepare the way of the Lord with an uncompromising message of repentance followed by demonstration and power !
They will declare with authority “ thus sayeth the Lord ” to the nation that has turned its back on God .
2- Real prophets and people of God who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were persecuted Jezebel massacred the prophets of the Lord in the time of Elijah , and today we see a great attack on the modern-day prophets and people of God who speak anything negative or deemed to be offensive .
Ministers are now told not to preach on hell , repentance , and even sin because it will turn members away from the church , resulting in fear and intimidation to ministers of the gospel to preach the gospel with fire and conviction .
But this last-days army God is raising up will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with fire and conviction , with “ thus saith the Lord !
” and will not be concerned with the consequences it may have .
3- Obadiah feared the Lord and reserved a remnant of God ’ s prophets .
There will be a remnant of God ’ s people that will still respect the office of the prophet and fear the Word of the Lord .
Today we are witnessing an unprecedented level of compromise in the body of Christ with churches lowering the standard and watering down the message resulting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ silly entertainment with the hopes of attracting people .
These churches are void of the Holy Spirit , conviction , and the power of God !
America has now embraced major false religions and their gods while rejecting and condemning those who represent the one true God !
Later on in the story of Elijah , the Lord reveals to the prophet that there was a remnant of God ’ s people that had not bowed their knees to the false gods of Baal .
There is and will be a remnant of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bow to the false gods of the devil and will serve the true God of Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob .
The time of separating the wheat from the chaff , the sheep from the goat has come to the body of Christ .
4- Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord .
The Bible tells us that Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord and today we have come to a time were preaching and church services are entirely different than even 20 years ago .
I remember when the altars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full of souls giving their hearts to the Lord and people being delivered and set free .
Men and women of God would come hours early to the services and be at the altars in intercession and travail over lost souls who would come through the doors of the church .
Today in many mainline denominations and churches , this is a thing in the past .
We have back rooms for prayer and deliverance and even for people receiving salvation , and trying to gather saints to come even 30 minutes before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anymore .
Thus the altar of the Lord has been torn down .
It is the altar where I gave my heart to the Lord ; it ’ s where people are changed and in the Old Testament , it is where the sacrifices of God were made .
I believe God is raising up a remnant in this hour that will restore these principles back to the church , a generation that will repair the altar in this hour !
5- Elijah prayed with his face to the Earth seven times .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ rain seven times while hearing in his spirit the sound of an abundance of rain .
And eventually , on the seventh time , the rains fell .
This is a picture of this last-days remnant that will be the “ rainmakers , ” intercessors who will continue to pray in the “ latter-day rains , ” of God ’ s presence and power in the last days in the midst of chaos and uncertainty .
The Lord is looking to restore those intercessors like Moses , who stood in the gap for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the Lord was about to destroy them .
He is looking for an Abraham who will go into the enemy ’ s camp to save his own bloodline from hell and destruction .
He ’ s looking for an Esther in this hour who is willing to risk it all to save her nation .
He ’ s looking for those who are desperate for revival and awakening in this dark hour of humanity !
Do you hear the sound of an abundance of rain coming again ?

The churches of America are now full of entertainment, dead sermons, and complacent saints operating in no power or apostolic anointing. Our churches are getting bigger and bigger while the signs and wonders are diminishing quickly, emphasizing what the apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:5, that the last day’s churches would have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof and from such turn away.
This last-days Elijah generation is going to rise in the midst of this great spiritual drought and prepare the way of the Lord with an uncompromising message of repentance followed by demonstration and power! They will declare with authority “thus sayeth the Lord” to the nation that has turned its back on God.
2- Real prophets and people of God who spoke in the name of the Lord were persecuted
Jezebel massacred the prophets of the Lord in the time of Elijah, and today we see a great attack on the modern-day prophets and people of God who speak anything negative or deemed to be offensive. Ministers are now told not to preach on hell, repentance, and even sin because it will turn members away from the church, resulting in fear and intimidation to ministers of the gospel to preach the gospel with fire and conviction. But this last-days army God is raising up will preach as Elijah and John the Baptist, with fire and conviction, with “thus saith the Lord!” and will not be concerned with the consequences it may have.
3- Obadiah feared the Lord and reserved a remnant of God’s prophets.
There will be a remnant of God’s people that will still respect the office of the prophet and fear the Word of the Lord. Today we are witnessing an unprecedented level of compromise in the body of Christ with churches lowering the standard and watering down the message resulting in the use of all forms of silly entertainment with the hopes of attracting people. These churches are void of the Holy Spirit, conviction, and the power of God!
America has now embraced major false religions and their gods while rejecting and condemning those who represent the one true God!

4- Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord.
The Bible tells us that Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord and today we have come to a time were preaching and church services are entirely different than even 20 years ago. I remember when the altars of the house of God would be full of souls giving their hearts to the Lord and people being delivered and set free. Men and women of God would come hours early to the services and be at the altars in intercession and travail over lost souls who would come through the doors of the church.
Today in many mainline denominations and churches, this is a thing in the past. We have back rooms for prayer and deliverance and even for people receiving salvation, and trying to gather saints to come even 30 minutes before the service to pray is nearly impossible anymore. Thus the altar of the Lord has been torn down. It is the altar where I gave my heart to the Lord; it’s where people are changed and in the Old Testament, it is where the sacrifices of God were made. I believe God is raising up a remnant in this hour that will restore these principles back to the church, a generation that will repair the altar in this hour!
5- Elijah prayed with his face to the Earth seven times.
The Bible says that Elijah prayed for rain seven times while hearing in his spirit the sound of an abundance of rain. And eventually, on the seventh time, the rains fell. This is a picture of this last-days remnant that will be the “rainmakers,” intercessors who will continue to pray in the “latter-day rains,” of God’s presence and power in the last days in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
The Lord is looking to restore those intercessors like Moses, who stood in the gap for Israel and turned the heart of God when the Lord was about to destroy them. He is looking for an Abraham who will go into the enemy’s camp to save his own bloodline from hell and destruction.

endtimeheadlines--2020-06-19--6 Prophetic Mandates From the Book of Jeremiah

( OPINION ) ETH – First off I want to say that I have never considered myself a prophet , nor do I label myself as one .
However , I do know from the Word of God that there is a great imbalance in the body of Christ today regarding the office of the prophet and their operation .
For example , most prophets today are a polar opposite of what is given as an example in the Bible .
Let me explain a little more in detail .
In the book of Jeremiah , the Word of God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to know about prophets .
Prophets Are Called of God , Not appointed by Man Jeremiah 1:5 says , “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you ; and before you were born I sanctified you , and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.
” As we see from this passage , Jeremiah was chosen of God to be a prophet before he was ever conceived in the womb .
Today we have an entire slew of “ self-appointed ” prophets who have given themselves this title @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their local church or a small group of their followers .
A real prophet of God will never seek the approval or affirmation of people but will receive their call and instructions from God .
If someone is given a word in the church that they are called to be a prophet , it must always be confirmation of what has already been revealed to them in their private devotional walk with God .
Notice God revealed Himself and Jeremiah ’ s destiny in private , not in public .
Prophets Are Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to point out is that immediately after Jeremiah received his calling and assignment from the Lord , Jeremiah responded by telling the Lord he was “ too young ” to accomplish what the Lord had told him to do .
Here is the conversation in Jeremiah 1:6-8 : “ Then said I : ‘ Ah , Lord God !
Truly , I can not speak , for I am a youth.
’ But the Lord said to me : ‘ Do not say , “ I am a youth.
” For you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and whatever I command you , you shall speak .
Do not be afraid of their faces .
For I am with you to deliver you , ’ says the Lord.
” The Lord reveals to us here that He is not intimidated by how young or old you are .
He knows who you are , where you are , and what you are capable of .
After all , He created you .
This same God used a young Daniel in the lion ’ s den , three Hebrew boys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a crazy man in the eyes of the world to build a floating zoo to save the world .
He specializes in calling the despised and the foolish to confound the wise and the mighty .
Religion will try to categorize and institutionalize , but God will specialize !
Prophets Do More Than Encourage and Exhort One of the things that really gets under my skin is that nearly all alleged prophets today seem to never give a word of warning or rebuke to the church or anyone in the body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and not biblical .
In fact , when we look at this next passage in the book of Jeremiah we see six mandates of a prophet .
Jeremiah 1:9-10 says , “ Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth .
And the Lord said to me , ‘ Now , I have this day put My words in your mouth .
See , I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms , to root out and to pull down , to destroy and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plant . '
” 1 .
To Root Out : This phrase in Hebrew means to expel , to pluck up , to pull up .
Thus , a real prophet of the Lord will not tolerate sin in the church , city , or nation .
He will come in the authority of the Lord and begin to open his mouth to release an authoritative correction or rebuke regarding the things that are required to be rooted out , plucked up , or expelled !
Regardless of the popularity of the message @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Lord and not compromise with the opinions of the people .
2 .
To Pull Down : This next phrase is very similar to the last one ; however , here I believe we are dealing with more of the level of a principality , power , or stronghold over a church , city , region , or nation .
The true prophet of God will hear from God and know the stronghold or strongholds that these areas are contending with and through the weapons of prayer , fasting , and intercession @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though we walk in the flesh , we do not war according to the flesh .
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal , but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds , casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God , bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is complete ” ( 2 Cor .
10:3-6 ) .
3 .
To Destroy and Throw Down : Now this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ separate the men from the boys .
Real prophets of the Lord will call the people to do radical things to bring deliverance , healing , and breakthroughs to an individual , a church , a city , or a nation .
For example , Hezekiah instructed the people of God to destroy something they had turned into an idol .
“ He removed the high places , broke down the sacred pillars , cut down the Asherah poles , and crushed the bronze serpent that Moses had made , for until those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offerings to it .
They called it Nehushtan ” ( 2 Kings 18:4 ) .
In 2 Kings 5:14 , we see the prophet Elisha instruct the commander of Syria to dip in a dirty river seven times to receive healing from leprosy : “ So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times , according to the word of the man of God , and his flesh returned like the flesh of a little boy , and he was clean.
” I could give more examples , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of God will make others very uncomfortable and not complacent .
They will challenge us to do radical things and even destroy what is sacred and cherished in our lives to draw us close to God and not them .
4 .
To Build Up and Plant : Finally , prophets will be sent to regions and nations to bring a refreshing word that will build up or exhort the people .
They will release words that plant seeds of hope and refreshing to the people .
In times of darkness , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see beyond the storms .
They see beyond the current drought and famine .
They see the light at the end of the tunnel .
I ’ ve personally been to many churches and preached messages only to find out that years prior a prophet of the Lord had released a word that planted a seed in the heart of the people to believe for what would later come to fruition .
Nehemiah came along in the midst of Israel ’ s darkest hour and released a word to the people to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conclusion , many times we can ’ t build on a foundation that is corrupt , unstable , or decayed ; the old foundation has to be removed and replanted in order to have a sure foundation to build on .
If we are expecting the next Great Awakening to come to America—or any other nation—we must first allow the true prophets of God to root out , pull down , destroy , throw down , plant , and build again what the Lord originally intended .
It ’ s high time to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and give ear to the real prophets .

(OPINION) ETH – First off I want to say that I have never considered myself a prophet, nor do I label myself as one. However, I do know from the Word of God that there is a great imbalance in the body of Christ today regarding the office of the prophet and their operation. For example, most prophets today are a polar opposite of what is given as an example in the Bible. Let me explain a little more in detail. In the book of Jeremiah, the Word of God tells us some very important things we need to know about prophets.
Prophets Are Called of God, Not appointed by Man
Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you were born I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” As we see from this passage, Jeremiah was chosen of God to be a prophet before he was ever conceived in the womb. Today we have an entire slew of “self-appointed” prophets who have given themselves this title or been put in that position by their local church or a small group of their followers.

A real prophet of God will never seek the approval or affirmation of people but will receive their call and instructions from God. If someone is given a word in the church that they are called to be a prophet, it must always be confirmation of what has already been revealed to them in their private devotional walk with God. Notice God revealed Himself and Jeremiah’s destiny in private, not in public.
Prophets Are Not Qualified by Age
The next thing I want to point out is that immediately after Jeremiah received his calling and assignment from the Lord, Jeremiah responded by telling the Lord he was “too young” to accomplish what the Lord had told him to do. Here is the conversation in Jeremiah 1:6-8:
“Then said I: ‘Ah, Lord God! Truly, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.’ But the Lord said to me: ‘Do not say, “I am a youth.” For you shall go everywhere that I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces. For I am with you to deliver you,’ says the Lord.”
The Lord reveals to us here that He is not intimidated by how young or old you are. He knows who you are, where you are, and what you are capable of. After all, He created you. This same God used a young Daniel in the lion’s den, three Hebrew boys to face Nebuchadnezzar, Moses in Egypt, and a crazy man in the eyes of the world to build a floating zoo to save the world. He specializes in calling the despised and the foolish to confound the wise and the mighty. Religion will try to categorize and institutionalize, but God will specialize!
Prophets Do More Than Encourage and Exhort
One of the things that really gets under my skin is that nearly all alleged prophets today seem to never give a word of warning or rebuke to the church or anyone in the body of Christ. This is extremely dangerous and not biblical.
In fact, when we look at this next passage in the book of Jeremiah we see six mandates of a prophet. Jeremiah 1:9-10 says, “Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, ‘Now, I have this day put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.'”
1. To Root Out: This phrase in Hebrew means to expel, to pluck up, to pull up. Thus, a real prophet of the Lord will not tolerate sin in the church, city, or nation. He will come in the authority of the Lord and begin to open his mouth to release an authoritative correction or rebuke regarding the things that are required to be rooted out, plucked up, or expelled! Regardless of the popularity of the message, a prophet will be obedient to the Lord and not compromise with the opinions of the people.
2. To Pull Down: This next phrase is very similar to the last one; however, here I believe we are dealing with more of the level of a principality, power, or stronghold over a church, city, region, or nation. The true prophet of God will hear from God and know the stronghold or strongholds that these areas are contending with and through the weapons of prayer, fasting, and intercession there will be breakthroughs!
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is complete” (2 Cor. 10:3-6).
3. To Destroy and Throw Down: Now this one is very interesting, and will separate the men from the boys. Real prophets of the Lord will call the people to do radical things to bring deliverance, healing, and breakthroughs to an individual, a church, a city, or a nation. For example, Hezekiah instructed the people of God to destroy something they had turned into an idol. “He removed the high places, broke down the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and crushed the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the children of Israel had made offerings to it.
They called it Nehushtan” (2 Kings 18:4). In 2 Kings 5:14, we see the prophet Elisha instruct the commander of Syria to dip in a dirty river seven times to receive healing from leprosy: “So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh returned like the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean.” I could give more examples, but the point here is that the true prophets of God will make others very uncomfortable and not complacent. They will challenge us to do radical things and even destroy what is sacred and cherished in our lives to draw us close to God and not them.
4. To Build Up and Plant: Finally, prophets will be sent to regions and nations to bring a refreshing word that will build up or exhort the people. They will release words that plant seeds of hope and refreshing to the people. In times of darkness, they will sow seeds of light. They see beyond the storms. They see beyond the current drought and famine.
They see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve personally been to many churches and preached messages only to find out that years prior a prophet of the Lord had released a word that planted a seed in the heart of the people to believe for what would later come to fruition. Nehemiah came along in the midst of Israel’s darkest hour and released a word to the people to “rise and build” again!
In conclusion, many times we can’t build on a foundation that is corrupt, unstable, or decayed; the old foundation has to be removed and replanted in order to have a sure foundation to build on. If we are expecting the next Great Awakening to come to America—or any other nation—we must first allow the true prophets of God to root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, plant, and build again what the Lord originally intended. It’s high time to rid ourselves of the “profits” and give ear to the real prophets.


endtimeheadlines--2020-06-19--Is this archeological proof of the Biblical account of the fall of Jericho?

( OPINION ) ETH – A Bible expert has come out claiming that recent archeological findings in Israel can prove the Biblical account of the “ Fall of Jericho ” according to a new report from Express .
The Battle of Jericho is mentioned in the Old Testament Book of Joshua and marked the first battle fought in the Israelites ’ conquest of the land of Canaan .
This battle is best known for the miraculous fall of Jericho ’ s walls , brought on about by the Israelites marching around the walls of Jericho seven times and then sounding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
However , Despite this , many have debated over whether the walls of Jericho actually fell in the time described by the Old Testament .
This historical Biblical site of Jericho is said to be located in eastern Palestine , in what is known as Tell es-Sultan or Tel Jericho .
According to the report .
Archaeological excavations at ancient Jericho have been inconclusive , with experts publishing mixed reports over the years .
Archaeologists such as William Gwinn Dever have marked the fall of Jericho a fictional account “ invented out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon have suggested there are historical inaccuracies in the Old Testament ’ s account .
However , Professor Tom Meyer , an expert in Middle Eastern languages from Shasta Bible College and Graduate School in California , believes the clues are there to support the biblical narrative if the event .
Professor Meyer recently told Express ” that Jericho , though a comparatively small city by our modern standards , was a very heavily fortified ancient Canaanite city .
“ Its destruction was essential for the Israelites after they crossed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advance into Canaan .
“ The fall of Jericho in 1400BC is an excellent example of textual and archaeological evidence collaborating.
” Again , According to the Bible , the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho with the Ark of the Covenant in complete silence for six days .
Then on the seventh day , they marched seven times and on the seventh pass , the priests blew their trumpets and the soldiers shouted at the walls to bring the fortifications down .
According to Meyer : “ The Bible gives the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the walls fell down , then the city was burnt , and finally it was abandoned .
“ Every archaeologist who has excavated Jericho has come to the same conclusion .
“ Upon the stone retaining wall from the time of Joshua – parts of which can still be seen today – a mudbrick wall once stood .
“ According to the archaeologists , the mudbrick wall fell outward and down to the base of the foundation stone wall .
“ Archeologists who dug at the base of the stone retaining wall found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the entire portion of the retaining wall they unearthed.

Professor Meyer states that ancient Jericho is the only place where archaeologists have found a wall that has completely collapsed .

(Reuters) – A “sophisticated state-based actor” has been attempting to hack a wide range of Australian organizations for months and had stepped up its efforts recently, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday. The attacks have targeted all levels of the government, political organizations, essential service providers, and operators of other critical infrastructure, Morrison said at a media briefing in Canberra.
“We know it is a sophisticated state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting,” he said. Morrison said there were not a lot of state actors that could launch this sort of attack, but Australia will not identify which country was responsible.
Australia’s chief cyber intelligence agency said its investigations have so far found no evidence that the actor attempted to be “disruptive or destructive” once within the host’s network. Two government sources said the nature of the recent attacks matches a 2019 attack on Australia’s parliament and the three largest political parties. READ MORE

endtimeheadlines--2020-06-19--Seven Teachings on Hell From St. Thomas Aquinas

( OPINION ) CIM – The teachings of the Lord on Hell are difficult , especially in today ’ s climate .
The most difficult questions that arise relate to its eternal nature and how to square its existence with a God who is loving and rich in mercy .
1 .
Does God love the souls in Hell ?
Yes .
How could they continue to exist if He did not love them , sustain them , and continue to provide for them ?
God loves because He is love .
Although we may fail to be able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loves every being He has made , human or angelic .
The souls in Hell may have refused to empty their arms to receive His embrace , but God has not withdrawn His love for them .
He permits those who have rejected Him to live apart from him .
God honors their freedom to say no , even respecting it when it becomes permanent , as it has for fallen angels and the souls in Hell .
God is not tormenting the damned .
The fire and other miseries are largely expressions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have rejected the one thing for which they were made : to be caught up into the love and perfection of God and the joy of all the saints .
2 .
Is there any good at all in Hell ?
Yes .
Are all the damned punished equally ?
No .
While Heaven is perfection and pure goodness , Hell is not pure evil .
The reason for this is that evil is the privation or absence of something good that should be there .
If goodness were completely absent , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there must be some goodness in Hell or there would be nothing at all .
St. Thomas Aquinas teaches , It is impossible for evil to be pure and without the admixture of good … .
[ So ] those who will be thrust into hell will not be free from all good … those who are in hell can receive the reward of their goods , in so far as their past goods avail for the mitigation of their punishment ( Summa Theologica , Supplement 69.7 , reply ad 9 ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ God ’ s punishments are just and that the damned are neither devoid of all good nor lacking in any experience of good .
Even though a soul does not wish to dwell in God ’ s Kingdom ( evidenced by the rejection of God or the values of His Kingdom ) , the nature of suffering in Hell is commensurate with the sin ( s ) that caused exclusion from Heaven .
This would seem to be true even of demons .
In the Rite of Exorcism , the exorcist warns the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delay your departure , the worse your punishment shall be.
” This suggests levels of punishment in Hell based on the degree of unrepented wickedness .
In his Inferno , Dante described levels within Hell and wrote that not all the damned experience identical sufferings .
Thus , an unrepentant adulterer might not experience the same suffering in kind or degree as would a genocidal , atheistic head of state responsible for the death of millions .
Both have rejected key values of the Kingdom : one rejected chastity , the other rejected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sacredness of human life .
The magnitude of those sins is very different and so would be the consequences .
Heaven is a place of absolute perfection , a work accomplished by God for those who say yes .
Hell , though a place of great evil , is not one of absolute evil .
It can not be , because God continues to sustain human and angelic beings in existence there and existence itself is good .
God also judges them according to their deeds ( Rom 2:6 ) .
Their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This , too , is good and allows for good in varying degrees there .
Hell is not in any way pleasant , but it is not equally bad for all .

This can assist us in understanding that God’s punishments are just and that the damned are neither devoid of all good nor lacking in any experience of good. Even though a soul does not wish to dwell in God’s Kingdom (evidenced by the rejection of God or the values of His Kingdom), the nature of suffering in Hell is commensurate with the sin(s) that caused exclusion from Heaven.

Thus, an unrepentant adulterer might not experience the same suffering in kind or degree as would a genocidal, atheistic head of state responsible for the death of millions.

endtimeheadlines--2020-06-20--The Push For Transhumanism To Overcome Sickness, Aging and Death

( WSJ ) – It sounds bitterly ironic now , in the midst of a global pandemic , but not long ago some of the most forward-looking people in the world believed that humanity was close to abolishing death .
“ If you ask me today , is it possible to live to be 500 ?
The answer is yes , ” said Bill Maris , the founder of Google Ventures , in 2015 .
Three years later , biomedical researcher Aubrey de Grey estimated that “ people in middle age now have a fair chance ” of never dying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a pipe dream for a society that , until recently , had trouble manufacturing enough masks to save doctors ’ and nurses ’ lives .
Yet Covid-19 may turn out to be just the kind of crisis needed to turbocharge efforts to create what its advocates call a “ transhuman ” future .
With our biological fragility more obvious than ever , many people will be ready to embrace the message of the Transhumanist Declaration , an eight-point program first issued in 1998 : “ We envision the possibility of broadening human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , involuntary suffering and our confinement to planet Earth.
” Transhumanists , many of them associated with nonprofits and think tanks like Humanity Plus and the Extropy Institute , have long been driven by the fear that our entire species could be wiped out by nuclear war , asteroid collision , technological accident—or a pandemic .
In March , as the coronavirus was spreading around the world , the science writer Tom Chivers observed that it proves the need for technological protection against such existential threats : “ Humans could be around for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we don ’ t screw it up .
Coronavirus won ’ t be the thing that kills us all , but it ’ s a bloody good illustration of how something could , ” he wrote in the online magazine UnHerd .

Americans Have Already Skipped Payments On More Than 100 Million Loans, And Job Losses Continue To Escalate

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – Those that have been hoping for some sort of a “ V-shaped recovery ” have had their hopes completely dashed .
U.S. workers continue to lose jobs at a staggering rate , and economic activity continues to remain at deeply suppressed levels all over the nation .
Of course , this wasn ’ t supposed to happen now that states have been “ reopening ” their economies .
We were told that things would soon be getting back to normal and that the economic numbers would rebound dramatically .
But that is not happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans that filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week was much higher than expected… Weekly jobless claims stayed above 1 million for the 13th consecutive week as the coronavirus pandemic continued to hammer the U.S. economy .
First-time claims totaled 1.5 million last week , higher than the 1.3 million that economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been expecting .
The government report ’ s total was 58,000 lower than the previous week ’ s 1.566 million , which was revised up by 24,000 .
To put this in perspective , let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prior to this year the all-time record for a single week was just 695,000 .
So even though more than 44 million Americans had already filed initial claims for unemployment benefits before this latest report , there were still enough new people losing jobs to more than double that old record from 1982 .
That is just astounding .
We were told that the economy would be regaining huge amounts of jobs by now , but instead , job losses remain at a catastrophic level that is unlike anything that we have ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
With the addition of this latest number , a grand total of nearly 46 million Americans have now filed initial claims for unemployment benefits since the COVID-19 pandemic began .
