endtimeheadlines--2020-10-09--The stage has been set for a historic national meltdown…

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – Everything that has happened in 2020 so far has set us up for a grand finale that none of us will ever forget .
This year we have already witnessed the worst public health crisis in about a hundred years , widespread lockdowns all over the nation , a crippling economic collapse , and civil unrest in major cities across America .
To say that the American people are in a bad mood would be a major understatement .
Now we are less than a month away from a bitterly contested presidential election , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one survey recently found that a majority of Americans are expecting violence .
That is extremely unfortunate , but these are the times in which we live .
Our country is literally falling apart all around us , and nobody seems to have a way to stop it from happening .
And the worse economic conditions become , the worse the mood of the nation is going to get .
On Thursday , we learned that another 840,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week… The latest jobless claims figures from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week ending Oct. 2 , show that 840,000 workers sought aid last week , about four-times the pre-crisis level .
More than 63 million Americans have sought jobless aid since the coronavirus lockdowns began in mid-March .
If someone had told me late last year that 63 million Americans would file new claims for unemployment benefits this year , I would have thought that person was crazy .
Prior to 2020 , the worst number for a single week in all of U.S. history was 695,000 , and now we have been way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this pandemic .
Of course , the layoffs just keep rolling along .
Right now , it is being reported that WarnerMedia expects to lay off thousands of workers in the coming weeks… AT & T ’ s WarnerMedia is preparing a restructuring that seeks to reduce costs by as much as 20 % as the COVID-19 panic drains income from movie tickets , cable subscriptions , and TV ads reports The Wall Street Journal .
The layoffs are expected to begin in the coming weeks and would result in thousands of layoffs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like HBO , TBS , and TNT , the paper said .
Personally , I wouldn ’ t be saddened if WarnerMedia completely shut down on a permanent basis .
They produce an endless barrage of garbage programming that is corrupting the minds of millions of Americans , and our society would definitely be better off without them .
But at the same time that millions upon millions of Americans have been losing their jobs , those at the very top of the economic food chain have been getting even wealthier thanks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the financial markets .
At this point , the top one percent of all Americans have more than 15 times more money than the bottom 50 percent combined… READ MORE

( OPINION ) ETH – Have you noticed that people don ’ t treat one another with the same level of respect and civility that they once did ?
Everywhere I look , people are treating one another badly , and this should greatly alarm all of us .
Perhaps we can blame some of this on the pandemic because the restrictions that authorities have implemented around the nation have definitely put people in a bad mood .
And of course , the fact that this is an election year is certainly not helping things .
But I am seeing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side treating each other with extreme contempt .
Conservatives are fighting with conservatives , liberals are fighting with liberals , Christians are fighting with Christians , and over the past year , I have been seeing families break up all over the place .
Hearts are growing so cold , and all of the strife and discord that we are witnessing makes me wonder what things will be like when economic conditions in this nation really start falling apart .
There are so much anger and frustration in the air right now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reflected in the crime numbers .
For example , it is being reported that burglaries in San Francisco have risen 42 percent so far this year… In San Francisco , burglaries are up 42 % in the first 9 months of this year , compared to the same time period in 2019 .
In the Northern District , which includes Pacific Heights , the Marina , North Beach , and Cow Hollow , it ’ s up 59 % .
In the Mission , 79 % and in Richmond up 50 % .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ are returning over and over again , and things have gotten so bad that one local resident recently admitted that she “ can not sleep at night anymore ” … Thieves are returning to the same homes and neighborhoods within the same week , sometimes only one day apart .
“ It ’ s a big wave of crime right now .
it ’ s home burglaries and this is scary .
I can not sleep at night anymore , ” said Iryna Gorb .
I can ’ t even imagine what it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if this will be the night when the burglars will return again .
In addition to home invasions , San Francisco is seeing an alarming number of stores being hit as well… And it ’ s not just happening to homes .

When it doesn ’ t budge , he comes back and tries a throwing a planter to break in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out all over America on a nightly basis these days , and it is only going to get worse in the months ahead .
Over on the east coast , New York City has also seen a 42 percent rise in burglaries so far in 2020 , and the number of shootings is up 91 percent… Year-to-date , there has been a 91 % spike in citywide shooting incidents , a 42 % increase in burglaries and a 33 % decrease in hate crimes .

The alert will also include a link to a credible news outlet where users can then read and discover why the company was flagged and know more about the accusations in detail. The company hopes that this new alert system will help customers make “decisions about whether they’ll be welcome and safe at a particular business.”

The new efforts are raising many concerns as many still question the moderation, including what counts as “resounding evidence” in a news story, what media outlets Yelp considers “credible” or exactly how long a notification will remain on a business’ page.
In fact, Forbes stated that “Right-wing pundits slammed the announcement, arguing businesses could be hurt by false or disputed accusations. “What are the odds that this isn’t insanely abused?” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted. However, A Yelp spokesperson assured that the alerts will be “rare” and “can appear for days or several weeks” as it removes reviews that aren’t based on first-hand experience.

The announcement goes so far as to highlight not only young girls but also “those with varying gender identities” as people who should be able to receive “abortion care.” READ MORE


endtimeheadlines--2020-10-13--Why Parents Will Run to Get the Mark of the Beast for Their Kids

( OPINION ) Charisma – The Bible has much to say about the end times .
And if you ’ ve been watching the news , you may be wondering if we ’ re in those prophesied last days .
In many ways , it seems evil in our culture , and across the world is getting worse and worse .
Are all these wars , political scandals , and natural disasters coming to a head now ?
Is the Antichrist about to introduce the mark of the beast ?
I recently discussed this topic with Pastor Mark Biltz for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” podcast , which you can listen to here or at the end of the article .
Biltz has been studying the Scriptures from a Jewish perspective to decode the end times and the Antichrist ’ s future system .
He says many Christians have a false sense of confidence that they will never take the mark of the beast .
The mark the Antichrist chooses , he points out , will be extremely enticing .
“ I think parents are going to run for the mark of the beast , ” Biltz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to want it because it ’ s going to be so tempting .
It ’ s not going to be some ugly thing .
It ’ s going to be something that will let you access the internet with your thoughts .
So I think people will be deceived because they ’ re going to be passionate about the things of this world.
” Biltz writes about his findings in his new book , Decoding the Antichrist , which I ’ ve had the privilege to publish through Charisma House .
Early sales @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicating the book will be a huge success .
One point he made in our interview , which he talks more in-depth about in his book , is that artificial intelligence will likely play a huge role in creating the mark of the beast—and perhaps even the Antichrist himself .
“ In this age of artificial intelligence , some are wondering if the Antichrist might be some kind of super-intelligent hybrid human cyborg that will want to be worshipped , ” he says .

Biltz writes about his findings in his new book, Decoding the Antichrist, which I’ve had the privilege to publish through Charisma House. Early sales have already far exceeded our expectations, indicating the book will be a huge success. One point he made in our interview, which he talks more in-depth about in his book, is that artificial intelligence will likely play a huge role in creating the mark of the beast—and perhaps even the Antichrist himself.
“In this age of artificial intelligence, some are wondering if the Antichrist might be some kind of super-intelligent hybrid human cyborg that will want to be worshipped,” he says. “Top experts are warning us of the malicious use of artificial intelligence.”
Biltz is right; artificial intelligence is advancing at a frightening pace. After all, Google keeps track of more than just what you research online. It tracks where you’ve been, what you order, and even what you do. Just recently, Google gave me a weekly update on everywhere I’ve been. Even though the report wasn’t harmful, it still concerned me that a computer was keeping such detailed track of me.

(OPINION) Charisma – The signs of the end of the age and Jesus’ appearing are evident in the physical and spiritual worlds. But most people, including Christians, have not recognized them. How can we discern them? One sure way is by understanding how the Jewish feasts, or the feasts of the Lord, point to the ages of man, accurately showing us God’s timetable.
The Feasts of the Lord
The Jews believe major events in history are marked by the times of the feasts. For example, they commemorate the “birthday of the world,” the day of the creation of Adam and Eve, at Rosh Hashanah, which is also the Jewish New Year. God gave the law to Moses at Mount Sinai at the time of Pentecost.

The major events in Christ’s redemption of humanity are tied to three main feasts: Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. Jesus had to die during the Feast of Passover. He could not have died at any other time because He is the sacrificial lamb given for the sins of the whole world. The outpouring of the Spirit, whom Jesus said the Father would send in His name, occurred at Pentecost. And the feast of tabernacles is related to Jesus’s second coming.
Times and Seasons
One of the Hebrew words for “feast” is moed, which means “an appointment,” or “a fixed time or season.” God Himself appointed the feasts, and they are therefore precise in revealing times and seasons. Not all the feasts have been completely fulfilled, but they will be. God’s times have been established for eternity; they do not change.
The feasts are also significant because they are times when portals to the spiritual realm are opened. We can say that heaven draws nearer to earth during these periods, when visitations from God to His people, angelic activity, supernatural protection, miracles, cycles of blessing, and the fulfillment of promises occurred. While unusual events in the physical realm may occur at any time, they do not carry the same weight or meaning as they do when they happen during one of the feasts. READ MORE
