(OPINION) Michael Snyder – This is a really good time to be selling underground bunkers. The COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest in major U.S. cities, and concern about what else may be coming have combined to create a tremendous amount of demand for “survival real estate”. In all my years of writing, I have never seen anything like this.
I have been hearing from so many people that suddenly feel a great urgency to prepare for the total collapse of society, and quite a few of them have either recently relocated or plan to do so in the near future. For some, moving entirely out of the country seems like the best option, but for most others, the goal is to find a way to survive the coming chaos here in the United States.
Of course, a lot of people are still tied to major population centers by their jobs, and for a lot of those individuals, a “survival bunker” in a remote location that they can bug out to if things get crazy enough is an attractive option. In South Dakota, one company has established the “largest survival community on Earth”, and the New York Post recently interviewed a 69-year-old man named Tom Soulsby that purchased one of the very first underground bunkers in that community…

Tom Soulsby, 69, and his wife, Mary, were one of the first to buy a bunker at Vivos xPoint — the self-proclaimed “largest survival community on Earth” — near the South Dakota town of Edgemont. In 2017, he made a $25,000 down payment and signed a 99-year land lease (with fees of $1,000 per year) to occupy an elliptical-shaped, 2,200 square-foot underground concrete bunker once used as a military fortress during World War II to store weapons and ammunition.
For a while there, sales were not happening too briskly. But then 2020 happened, and at this point sales of underground bunkers at Vivos xPoint are “up over 600 percent”… When Soulsby signed on the dotted line, he was one of a handful of new owners. But in 2020, Vivos xPoint has become hotly sought-after real estate.

“ Six hundred and fifty here , over against a confirmed 4.75 million cases of COVID-19 in the United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center .

The signal was there and gone in half a second, but that’s all scientists needed to confirm they had detected something remarkable: the first-ever “ fast radio burst ” (FRB) to emanate from a known star within the Milky Way, according to a study published July 27 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . Since their discovery in 2007, FRBs have puzzled scientists.
The bursts of powerful radio waves last only a few milliseconds at most but generate more energy in that time than Earth’s sun does in a century. Scientists have yet to pin down what causes these blasts, but they’ve proposed everything from colliding black holes to the pulse of alien starships as possible explanations.

A poll by Gallup released Wednesday shows that the percentage of Republicans who say they are “satisfied” with the direction the country is heading has fallen by 60 points since February when the pandemic began spreading rapidly across the U.S.
“The plunge in the U.S. mood, both in the past month and since February, is mostly occurring among Republicans. Republicans’ satisfaction today (20%) is about half what it was a month ago (39%) and down 60 points since February after the Senate acquitted President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial. The current figure is easily the lowest for Republicans during the Trump administration, with their prior low being 38% in October 2017,” Gallup said on its website. READ MORE


endtimeheadlines--2020-08-07--Compulsory vaccination needed for every American to defeat Coronavirus?

( OPINION ) USA Today – To win the war against the novel coronavirus that has now killed over 158,000 people in this country , the only answer is compulsory vaccination — for all of us .
And while the measures that will be necessary to defeat the coronavirus will seem draconian , even anti-American to some , we believe that there is no alternative .
Simply put , getting vaccinated is going to be our patriotic duty .
The reason : When an effective vaccine is available for COVID-19 , it will only defeat the pandemic if it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” It is important to note that , during an epidemic , there is no threshold above which the protection conferred by “ herd immunity ” can not be improved .
Thus , the more people who are immunized , the lower the risk for all of us , including those who are not vaccinated .
Nor is there an alternative to vaccine-induced herd immunity in a pandemic .
Relying on enough people becoming infected and then immune is dangerous , as exemplified by the Swedish experience where the COVID-19 mortality rate exceeds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Broad induction of immunity in the population by immunization will be necessary to end this pandemic .
In simple terms , a refusal to be vaccinated threatens the lives of others .

( OPINION ) Charisma – The Bible teaches that the church is supposed to influence the world as salt and light ( Matt .

The following are 10 signs your church has been secularized : • They preach only what is popular and avoid what is culturally controversial .
Often secularized pastors stay away from preaching on the standards of biblical morality so as to stay in the societal mainstream and avoid offending visitors .
The result is a membership that only hears a partial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which leaves them as secular saints .
• There is no standard for membership or those serving in ministry .
I have heard reports of many churches that allow anyone to become a member and/or serve in ministry positions without being vetted .
The result is people serving on worship teams or as small group leaders who are engaged in premarital sex , cohabitation or living a morally subpar Christian life .
• Premarital sex and cohabitation between unmarried couples are normalized in the congregation .
When folks in the congregation have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it comes to sexual ethics , that is a secularized congregation .

6 Warning Signs of Spiritual Danger

( OPINION ) Charisma – A desperate friend recently contacted me because he was worried that his son might be under the influence of a Christian ministry with questionable doctrines .
The leader of the ministry preaches that any church that doesn ’ t experience regular healings isn ’ t following the true Jesus—and he suggests that only his small congregation has an inside track with God .
Thankfully , my friend ’ s son discerned something was off track .
Satan loves to pull Christians into unhealthy extremes .
And immature Christian leaders sometimes allow youthful pride , greed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spirituality .
The result is always a trail of wounded people .
In my years of ministry , I ’ ve learned there are several clear signs that a ministry has veered away from the truth and into deception .
Here are the most obvious : 1 .
Lack of spiritual accountability .
Healthy leaders know they need to surround themselves with mentors and advisers who can question them if they step out of line .
Proverbs 11:14 says : “ In the multitude of counselors there is safety.
” But if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apostle who has not submitted himself to any form of accountability , you are asking for trouble .
Never align yourself with a Lone Ranger , no matter how fiery his sermons are .
He will likely lead you off a cliff .
2 .
Overemphasis on money .
