When evolutionists talk about human institutions and culture as if evolution explains it. I mostly just get bored and annoyed. I despised Sociobiology and the claim that altruism had a physical evolutionary explanation. Blesh. Balderdash. And that was before I was a Christian. Even in those days I had problems with evolution. Some of it was about physicalistic explanations in general. Anyhthing that explained mental states in phyhsicalistic terms was abhorrent to me. I had conniption fits over Behaviorism and Behaviot Therapy which was all about "conditionint" and treated the mind as an "epiphenomen" a conceon that never acquired any meaning for me, and evolutionary theory also relegates mind to a position subordinate to physical reality.. Blesh.
I also made some effort back then to explore evolutionary tgheorybecause I diddn't like it. When I did it always seemed to keep dissolving into nonsense. I couldn't get hold of anything like an evidentiary trail for any of it.
Through all that I didn't conclude that the theory was false. I had read Darwin's Origin of Species and was impressed with his careful way of thinking things through. But you know what? Very little of it is scientific in the empirical sense. In that dichotomy between rationalism and empiricism it's rationalism. And really, so is everything they do with evolutionary thinkinjg in any context now too. it's mostly mental construction, not empirical science. I don't even know what they're talking about when they use terms like "selection" or "adaptation" these days. They apparently are saying "Such and such a behavior is there in most of the population, therefore it is the product of selection and of course it was selected because it's adaptive." that's about the extent of the evidence.
It wasn't until I read some of the creationists that I finally saw that you could go after evolutionary theory from a scientific standpoint. Then it became fun to think things through for myself. All I care about is the claim that species evolved from species. When discussion gets all wrapped up in how a particular trait emerged and functions I'm not really interested. The problem is that an evolutionary history is assumed for that trait and it's spoken of as a reality though it's nothing but a thought system.
Rationalistic ystems are a plague. Marxist is a vicious evil plague and it's all rationalistm, there isn't one anchor point in reality in Marxism. Or in the theory of evolution either.
I suppose I'll have to eat some of my words here since all I'm doing is venting and ranting. Oh well.

Ya Know, Somebody Really Ought to Recognize That I've Demolished the Theory of Evolution, In More Ways than One. Others probably have too but I Know I have
It’s been a long time since I did any serious thinking about my evolution arguments, but I recently found myself mentally reviewing the geology argument and thinking how frustrating it is that such an obvious objection to the Old Earth goes unrecognized. Which of course I attribute to Paradigm ossification.
. It started with the hoodoos, those huge humaoid figures carved bu weather erosion out of layers of sedimentary rock. No idea how I got to thinking about the hoodoos but that’s where it started. Pondering how brief a time it takes for them to be carved out of the sediemtnary rocks by erosion, and then eventually destroyed by the same erosion. A matter of hundreds of years or so, or at most, say, about four thousand, which is the time since the Flood of Noah. The original sediments were supposedly laid down a few million years ago, in the Holocene or Recent time period, plenty of time for the whole collection of hoodoos to have dissolved into dust It's a rather arbitrary designatio anyway because originally there is reason to think there were many other layers above their layer that are gone, which I've hypothesized were washed away in the draining of the Flood waters.But if the time periods are determined by the sedimentary rocks, and absurdly they are, then the hoodoos don't belong to the most recent anyway, and since the time periods typically last for millions of years the whole timing thing is problematic anyway.
Many of the formations of the American Southwest undergo this sequence: eroded to their interesting shapes and then eventually too fragile to stand any more erosion they collapse. The eroded material at the base of, say, the large buttes of Monument Valley, tells a story of erosion that will eventually reduce the buttes to dust, but it isn’t going to take any millions of years. The prevailing theory allotsmillions of years to each layer of the Geological Column, which are the source of these carved shapes, but if they’d been there for those millions of years they’d long since have been reduced to dust. Long long since.
In other words, tgiven the millions of years allotted to the time periods, none of these formations should still be standing, they should all have long since gone to dust.
That’s a strike against the Old Earth theory already. But then you have to consider that these formations occur at the very upperlevels of the Geological Column, on stop of a stack of sedimentary layers that is at least two miles deep. These formations have been eposed to weather since the sediments out of which they are carved were laid down, and wouldn’t you expect if the Old Earth theory were correct that this same pattern would have occurred in each of the layers beneath it since they too supposedly endrued for millions of years at the surface of the earth, exposed to the same weathering processes. But oddly enough there is no evidence of any such processes in any of the buried layers. Where the layering is visible, such as in the Grand Canyon, they remain intact layers with no signs at all of any surface disturbance. Many of them show sharp straight upper and lower contacts with the rocks above and below, knife-edge sharp contacts. Above and below each layer are completely different rock layers of a completely different sedimentary composition, say shale above which is sandstone, above which is limestone. In quite neat undisturbed layers. Well, relatively undisturbed since they’ve been there for some time. But they have no surface features even remotely like the erosion of the hoodoos, or even the usual erosion one would see in a grassy field on the surface of the arth today.
So what we see in the walls of the Grand Canyon is a nice neat stack of layers of different kinds of sedimentary rpclss, , obviously never having been exposed at the surface of the earth although that is what the prevailing theory would hve us expect. Are these layers really millions of years old? Is the whole stack really hundreds of millions of years old? If that wre true wouldn’t we see dramatic erosive processes at their upper surfaces? And in fact wouldn’t we see some evidence of differences between them having to do with their different ages ? But they all seem to be about equally preserved. Surely just these observations cast serious doubt on the Old Earth theory. I thiknk they absolutely destroy it myself but I realize it’s unlikely to convince the true believers even though it’s clear enough even to them. They’ll just “know” based on theirn fai \th in the theory that it must be wrong nevertheless. And haven’t they been using that theory for years and years and hasn’t it held together? Yes, remarkably consistent systems can be built out of illusions as long as you don’t stray too far outside the illusion.
The argument here is simple enough. Observation shows that the layers of sediments that make up the Geological Column show no signs of the kinds of disturbances we see on the surface of the earth until the whole stack was laid down and that is strong evidence that they were not laid down over the supposed hundreds of millions of years but over some much shorter period of time. (Perhaps a close study of the rate of erosion of the Monuments or the Hoodoos, or the walls of the Grand Canyon for that matter, might suggest a more accurate time frame for the duration of the Geologial Column).
So physically the strata, the layers of sedimentary rocks that make up the Geologial Column, don't show signs of the great age the theory attributes to them. But these layers are the foundation of the Geological Time Scale as well, that system of time periods covering those millions of years in which a particular landscape populated by particular living things is supposed to have existed. This is determined by the fossil contents of each particular layer of sediment, the hardened remains of living creatures. br>l
It’s puzzled me for some time that the idea of geological history could have been divided into layers of sedimentary rocks at all, let alone that each layer should have come to be identified with a very particular period of time in which the earth is supposed to have had particularly characteristics that set it apart from other periods of time also identified by a sediemtnary layer. These are huge flat slabs of sedimentary rock stacked one on top of another to a depth of miles, many of the layers covering thousands of square miles horizontally, almost a whole continent . It boggles the mind to explain how such a formation could have come to exist as the representative of the surface of the earth at all. I’ve seen attempts to make sense of it but on the face of it no sense can be made of it.
I’ve also seen it denied that there is any real correspondence between the rocks and the time periods allotted to them. But this is clearly a futile effort. There is no doubt that the idea of the time periods was based on the rocks and particularly on their fossil contents which are very specific to a particular layer of rock. There is a sedimentary layer called “cretaceous” which is word descriptive of the sedimentary content of the rock, and a time period associated with it called the Cretaceous Period in which dinosaurs supposedly lived. That is because huge numbers of dinosaur fossils are found in this sedimentary rock. I’d forgotten what the word “xcretaceous” means and looked it up only to find it used as the name of the time period without any definition of the word itself. Strikes me as an attempt to disassociate the rock from the time period, probably because the association is so obviously absurd. How can there be a time period defined by a kind of sedimentary rock? But of course that was the original basis for the name of the time period. That is also how the Carboniferous Period was named of course.
The people who made these associations were clearly not hinking about the physical impossibilities involved. They saw this beautifully neat stack of rocks with their beautifully particular sedimentary contents and their beautifully particular fossil contents and it was apparently just too much to ask of them to avoid the interpretation that the history of the planet was expressed in these phenomena. The apparent order of the fossils themselves was too wonderfully suited ot the theory of evolution to be doubted. How else explain the seeming progression up through the layers of rock from small sea creatures and insects to larger sea cretures then amphibians then reptiles up to modern mammals. Just too wonderfully neat to be denied.
Well, the history of science is littered with odd irrational thinking after all. The idea, for instance, that the fossils were particular creations of God or “sports” was one such bit of silliness. Empirical science is apparently not the most natural of cognitive functions, but very hard won. Although of course I reject Darwin’s theory, in its time it was a model of rational thinking against some of the previous ways of constructing the world of living things. For instance the different varieties of creatures were thought to be independent creations of God. Darwin recognized that the Galapogos island urtle that differed fromn the manland turtles was nevertheless related to them, which he took to mean “evolved” from them. He was right about the relationship but not about the mechanisms involved in the relationship. The different finches are all related to each too rather than being separate creations but they didn’t evolve in the sense Darwin’s theory posits, they are varieties that are bujilt into the finch genome. Just as the Galapagos and mainland turtles are varieties of the turtle genome. If Mendel’s experiments had had the influence they deserved, we might have been spared the ToE, but the ToE had some powerful defenders. That’s often how it goes in science as well as in politics. ( We are certainly suffering these days from the same kind of craziness. I just heard that although science, in response to pressure to take different racial characteristics into account, had determined that blacks have better kidney function than whites by about 20&, which could certainly be an important contgribution to medical practice. But in our current “Woke” infatuation the m edical profession has been told to ignore the science and treat the races equally, so that now blacks are subjected to treatments for kidney diseases they don’t need in the service of a political idea that is absurdly made authoritative over the science.)
I have to point out here before I forget that the irrational ideas about separate creations in Darwin’s day would not have existed if people wree following the Bible, which clearly says that God stopped creating, “rested from His work” so that nobody should have been expecting further separate creations. Since “religion” is likely to be blamed for such irrational idea I swant to point out wherever I can that Biblcial revelation is not irrational. People misread it, they invent their own God and suppose it’s the same God revealed in the Bible, but their God could plant fossils of living things in the earth just to entertain himself at our expense, put fossil sea life at the top of mountains for instance just because he was “sporting” with us. That is certainly not the God of the Bible.
Back to what the strata show us. There is a large detailed cross section of the Grand Staircase geological formation in Utal that spans all the way to the Grand Canyon, shoing all the layers that lie so neat and parallel beneath the surface. Into those layers the Grand Canyon was cut. Clearly after all the layers were in place. All the layers above the rim of the canyon were eroded away, but they remain in the Grand Stairacse to the north which climbs another mile above the level of the grand Canyon rim. The Grand Canyon is about a mile deep and its rum is at the surface of the Kaibab limestone on the north side. On the south side the limestone has been eroded away leaving the layer beneath, the Coconino sandstone which forms the plateau for some distance on that side. On the north the Kaibab limestone plateau extends to the Grand Staircase, which climbs from them up through the layers of the Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Renent or Holocene. The Staircase itself is made up of cliffs left as layers beneath them were eroded away.
The most reasonable interpretation of all this is that the entire area was originally covered by sedimentary layers at least three miles deep, at least from the bottommost level of the Grand Canyon to the uppermost level of the Grand Staircase, but most likely originally above that to some unknown depth. It’s all been eroded away above the Permian/Kaibab level at the Granc Canyon, and at each level of the Staircase to its own particular length. The entire area encompasses thousands of square miles, the distance from the Grand Staircase to the Grand Canyon being some two hundred or three hundred miles from north to south.
The point, again, is that the layers wree clearly undisturbed until such erosion occurred at the surface where they were exposed. This, again, shows the absurdity of the idea of time periods in which onje would naturally assume there must have been the same kind of surface exposure. Clearly there waan’t. the canyon cuts through it after all were in place. There is no canyon buried in the layers anwhere. The cliffs were cut out of the surface. The layers remain instact beneath. There is a volcanic erotion that shows on the far left of the cross section, magma rising from the very bottommost level beneath the “Cambrian” rocks, to the very uppermost level of the Grand Staircase where it spilllled out. Tha happened after all the layers were in place, not during their laying down. Beneath the Grand Canyon there is a formation called the Great Unconformity, which is a large block of strata that has been broken in to and tilted beneath the layers above it into which the canyon was cut. This is interpretaed by current geological theory as having occurred before the layers were laid down, but it seems to me that it is all part of the same upheaval that scoured off the Kaibab plateau and cut the stairs of the Grand Staircase and in fact cut the Grand Canyon itself. My evidence for this is that the layers curve up over the Great Unconformtity which they wouldn’t have if they were laid down afterward. Th whoe stack of layers is curved up over that basement formation of tilted strata.
And that observation leads to the idea that the forces that tilted the broken stratata raised the whole stack that was already in place above it, created a tension in the upper layers that broke them into pieces above the Kaibab limestone, one crack or set of cracks created the canyon. The same upheaval would have caused the erosion of the stairs to the north as well. And the upheaval was probably first of all a tectonic jolt but that jolt also caused the volcanism we see in the diagram.
But I didn’t really want to get into all that which is my hypothesis about how it all came about in the Flood of Noah. I just wanted to point out here that the layers that are interpreted as time periods in the Geological Time Scale which is based on the Geoloigcal Column of sedimentary rocks show no signs whatever of ever having been on the surface of the earth. What IS on the survace of the earth is eroded and broken, and any such time period should have shown those same features but none do.
The layers can be distorted in many ways, however, but pretty consistently in one huge block. In the area of the cross section they are all slightly raised as a block and they curve over the Great Unconformtiy as a block. Wherever the strata are found they are distorted as a block rather than individual layers. They may be broken twisted, folded in many different ways. As a block. Their remaining as a block is further evidence that they are not time periods, they were not separately laid down over millions of years, they had to have been laid down within a short period of time one after the ofther, and then only after they were all laid down were they subjected to the distrubances such as tectonic pressures and volcanic eruptions. These did not happen until they were all in place.
And here are sone pictures of how the layers are commonly disturbed and distorted in a whole block:.

It’s not that nobody’s noticed of course. The evidence is all out there. But the strange thing is that the reasonable inference has not been drawn from the evidence. The earth is not billions of years old. The strata do not represent hundreds of millions of years. Therefore the fossils have nothing to do with evolution. The Theory of Evolution is nothing but an irrational mental construct imposed on the physical world that has no actual correspondence to its physical realities.
And I wouldn’t mind getting some credit for pointing it out. Thank you. GOOGLE IMAGE: FOLDED GEOLOGICAL STRATA

Saving a Nation May be IMpossible By Now, But You can Still be Personally Saved
The Marxists aren't going to get it. In fact most Americans won't get it. In fact even most Christians won't get it. I'm talking about the importance of repentance for our national sins, which I wrote about in the previous post. It has to be explained. We've lost sigh t of the fact that God rules in this world no matter what we believe or think about it. Unbelievers violate His law all the time and don't understand why things often don't work out well for them. Oh God takes care of the just and the unsust alike, but the Moral operates inexorably in this world for good or ill according to our obedience or disobedience of the Moral Law. "God's windmills grind exceeding fine" it says somewhere in scripture. "If you sow to the wind you will reap the whirlwind" it says somewhere else. As I've pointed out many times, the Hindu and Buddhist idea of Karma is a distorted recognition about the Moral Law that rules the Universe. I know from experience that if you deny it, or decide to test it, as I did as an unbeliver, it will smack you down and you won't know what hit you. I only knew what hit me when I became a believer.Not everybody is as defiant as I was, even unbelievers live within the moral law to a greater extent than makes sense given their beliefs. But we all suffer in this life, and that is the consequence of sin against the moral law, whether our own sin or the sin of ancestors which the bible tells us we inherit. "The waes of sin is death" says scripture, and death means every kind of disease, destruction, inuury, disaster, all imaginable suffering. We live in a fallen world. That means we live after the Fall and suffer its consequences. We are born into those consequences but our own personal sins accumulate on top of them.
That's why Jesus died. That's what the Good News of salvation is all about. He died to save us from the Moral Law that can only kill us because we are fallen and continue to accumulate sins against it. Soon after the RFall God promised the human race that He would send us a savior from our sins. He did. He took our sins into His own body and paid the debt to the Moral Law we woujld otherwise owe for them. Since He was sinless He could not die for HImself, He died to pay for OUR sins since He had none.
Nations incur debt to the Moral Law too, as covenanted entitiues. This is made clear in the passages in Leviticus and Deuterono my that spell out the blessings and cursings the nation of Israel could expect for obedience of the Law on the one hand or disobedience on the other. The consequences include economic disaster, famine, invasion by foreigners, rule by incompetent and corrupt leaders,, natural disasters. Think about it.
Destruction comes as a consequence of violations of the Moral Law. It comes whether we recognize the operation of such a law or not. "Why do bad things happen to good people" asks the naive and ignornant. Scripture tells us that NOBODY is good. Start there. Scripture also tells us that we inherit sinjs. We inherit it from our first parents for starters, the first sinners, but we also inherit it from our nearer ancestors. And no matter how good a person may be even the best commit sins against the Moral Law all the time. Because the Law is perfect and we are fallen.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." I've brought this up before. I think the ocntext of this statement is often overlooked. This is Hosea 4, 1 through 8. God starts out saying through Hosea that the people commit all sorts of sins, swearing falsely, lying, stealing, killing, committing adultuery. These are violations of the Ten Commandements but somehow people read this passage and don't see the connection between these violations and the destruction for lack of knowledge. But the priests have let the people down. They don't teach the Moral Law that might dissuade them from committing the sins that lead to their destruction.
Some talk about man kinds of knowledge we lack that could lead to our destruction and it's certainly true that it helps protect us to know about germs for instance and the need for sanitary conditions, about the motivations of our enemmies, about the coming tornado and do on and so forth. But we have assurances from scripture that God protects us from these things if we stay close to Him. Psqalm 91 is full of such promises. If we "dwell in the secret place of the Most High," if we regard Him as our refuge and our strength, our shield and buckler, we need not fear "the arrow that flies by day" or the "pestilence that stalks by night." Jihad. COVID. etc.
GOD'S MORAL LAW WILL HAVE THE THE LAST WORD.
That link goes to an older post I did on this subject.
The people who are out to destroy this country have no idea what they are bringing down on themselves. They may in spite of themselves be executing God's judgment on the nation but they are certainly "storing up wrath" for themselves in the process. "Offenses must come but woe to those by whom they come" Criminalsa aren't going to get away with it. Th3e Nazis are not going to get away with it. Nobody gets away with it. The Moral Law is inexorable. It judges to the finest possible degree. Nobody escapes. Nations don't escape. The only way to save America is to roll back our violations of God's Law. Repent repent repent. But the Marxists are going to continue on their treasonous path of mayhem and destruction.
It's a tall order, turning back our violations of God's Law. Probably not going to happen. But individuals can still be saved from their own sins. That's why Jesus came.

Have a Thankful Thanksgiving. But This Year Maybe We'd Be Better Off Fasting in Sackcloth and Ashes Than Mindlessly Feasting.
This is not the post I started out to write. I was going to give the link to the old post about the true history of the original Thanksgiving, maye add some reminders of what we have to be thankful for as a nation, and leave it at that. Well, I'm giving that link but God wouldn't let me leave it at that. Yes it had to be God, yes God works through us, communicates with us, stirs up our conscience, so of course it was God who changed my mind. I'm certainly not saying I got it all right, but the change in direction came from Him. I didn't leave it until the last minute this time so He had time to rattle me up a bit, even as I was writing this.
This old post is about the original meaning of Thanksgiving and we need to be reminded of it every year because of the anti-God revisionist attacks on it. So here's my old post on that subject:
CORRECTING THE REVISIONIST HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING
We should certainly have thanked the Indians for their help to the Plymouth Colony where it all started, but that's not what Thanksgiving is about. We don't dedicate this day to thanking the Indians, we don't thank the turkey, we don't thank MotherEarth or any other pagan deity. It's cause for regret and fear that we've reduced it to "turkey day." It's a day for thanking the Creator God for His blessings on this nation. That was its original inspiration when William Bradford called his Plymouth Colony to assemble to hear a sermon about thankfulness in the third year of their settlement. And it was the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln when he set a date for its observance.
And we should most certainly thank God this year too. Sometimes it seems all His blessings have evaporated but no, not yet. Still, this year it might be more appropriate to make it a day of fasting, prayer and repentance for our egregious violations of God's Law which are bringing the nation to ruin. In fact, the more I think about it the more I think that really is what the day should be this year. What? No Thanksgiving this year? >
Ouch. Is that what God is telling me? Well, there is always something to be thankful for, even in the worst of times, and certainly in our persoal lives. As for the nation, this year we should thank Him profusely for the honest and courageous jury that brought a just verdict in the Rittenhouse trial, because we know the way things are going we can't count on getting a just verdict from our courts any more. Thank Him too for the righteous people who won the Virgina election. Yes thank Him for every remnant of rigghteousness we can recognize, for all those people who are raising their voices against the lies and the injuustices.
But the tugging at my conscience doesn't let up. The crying need is to return tp the original intent of the nation which He blessed. If we still see His blessings here and there it's not because we deserve them now. Perhaps it's just that we haven't yet rim pit pf tje,/ The nation has fallen away from Him even thought there are still some faithful Americans.
Biden won't institute a day of r fascint and prayer on any date -- well he'd have to call for repentancew from his own policies. Isn't going to happen. . Some former Presidents did call for such a day and that's what we need. Now all we can do is call for it in isolated pockets, in individual families, maybe in particular churches.
It's foolishness to think God can't continue to bless a nation that has been abandonimg Him for decades now. We sjpi;d certaom;u repent of our insane policies under some Presidents toward Israel when we've gone along with the lying bogus "Palestinian" cause. But mostly I think of our drift to perverted interpretations of our Constitution, How can God bless a nation that took prayer and the Bible out of our schools because one malicious atheist claimed her rights wree abused by it. Or a nation that make killing unborn babies a "right," or the dispensing of poronography a "right," and Gay Marriage a "right," a nation that has taken up the absurd idea that you can decide what sex you are no matter how God made you. I think the abandonment of the practice of women's covering our heads in church lies somewhere at the root of these violations. And I also wonder about the effect of the abolition of the Sabbath when commerce shut down for one day a week. There is nothing accidtnal about the destructions we are watching daily, God is not mocked. God abandons a nation that abandons Him, especially one that started out dedicated to Him as this one was. We may not be able to trace our national sins with any exactness, but there is no doubt that we are seeing all this political insanity because of them.
If Thanksgiving was really a day of giving sincere thanks to God for His blessings by a majority of the people and particularly by our leadership it would be a good thing. But it's mostly degenerated into a mindless day of feasting for who knbows what reason.
Well, have a happy and genuinely thankful Thanssgiving, but do consider adding a day of fasting and prayer for the repenttance of our national sins to your calendar. (See Damiel 9 for inspiration)_

Building a Refuge From the Great Reset / Great Tribulation Antichrist System
Fighting this beast that is politically transforming the world may well be impossible. Think about all the resistance to it which is so hopeful, but how half the population is kept from knowing about it. How to get the information through that barricade is something I ponder quite a bit. The wall of censorship is awfully effective. Personal conversation seems like it might be the way to go but then you find how effective the propaganda has been and how closed to all new information the people you want to reach are. If they don't go out of their way to hear the other side, the conservative news sources, the conservative talk shows, and do it regularly, not just once in a while, they aren't going to change their minds. The information war is the big barrier. It's what has to be broken and so far I don't see a way to do that. What that means is that half the country (in the US, and I don't know how many throughout the world) believes the lies that are fed through the leftist media every day.
People still believe lies about Trump that have been debunked over and over again. They believe lies about COVID and how to treat it. The propaganda is thick and incessant these dAYS. AThe dissenting voices get heard from time to time but only wrapped in a blanket of lies that demonize them. Even though we had this amazing experience of a just verdict in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, there are still those who call him a murderer, vigilante, white supremancist and heap him with the same lies his acquittal should have brought to an end. TBut the evidence was there from the beginning and they didn't accept it so why shoujld they accept the acquittal?
The division is stark. Those who think we should just try harder to treat each other fairly, listen empathically and so on, are somehow not seeing this iron wall that has been so effectively errected. The only way to listen empathically to people who are believing lies is to try to disabuse them of the lies, but they've heard them so frequently the time and patience it would take to overcome them is beyond possible. God could intervene of course. We can always pray. But if He doesn't provide a way it's not going to happen and so far He seems to want to leave things as they are. That's my dreary conclusion.
So although I'm all for fighting this beast that is threatening to devour the world,I don't see much hope of prevailing except in isolated local skirmishes.
Is all this just a way of justifying the flight out of the most threatened countries? Well, yeah, that's the context I'm writing in at the moment. I won't be fleeing, I'm not up to it, but I support those who are fleeing. Can the Great Reset be avoided? Some think so. That's what the video is about. What if the Great Reseat is the Antichrist Kingdom of the Last Days, or the Great Tribulation? Well, some are going to have to be able to avoid the worst of it or nobody would come out from it alive and we know from scripture that many will.
Anyway, here are two videos about those who are fleeing to Mexico, forming communities to weather the coming storm. The second video is about one particular community, which is just now getting underway. It's a very attractive vision IMO.
Why Mexico is a good place for weathering the Great Reset:
And here's an interview with a couple who are putting together one of the communities for that purpose:
By the way, some of these people identify as Christians. If they are born again Christians and the Great Reseat is really the Great Tribulation, then according to the popular end times prophetic system they will not be here during the Tribulation. Those who need a refuge are those who are not yet saved but will be saved during the Tribulation period.

Israel, God's Clock, and Thorn in the Flesh of this Fallen World
Fascinating historical information in the latest Understanding the Times radio show by Jan Markell. Al about the establishment of the state of Israel and the role of Britain and the US. America has a spotty history regarding our attitude to the Jews and to Israel, as discussed in this show. Rejecting or ignoring when we should have helped but then coming through at crucial moments, particularly under Harry Truman and Richard Nixon, and of course most recently Donald Trump, to support and defend them.
Her guest for this hour is Steven Briggs, The maker of a film series that includes one titled "America and the Israel Effect," a filmI want to see when I can. It's not at Amazon though. the theme is that whoever blessed Israel will be blessed and whoever curses her will be cursed, which comes from God's promise to Abraham that in him all the world will be blessed. That refers to the Messiah Jesus of course, in Whom all the world truly will be blessed and already are. The state of Israel is nevertheless the central emblem of God's working in this world, and the last days will revolve around God's dealings with them.

More Preps for the Great Tribulation
Here's the latest Understanding the Times show by Jan Markell, with pastor Billy Crone, talking about the way things are shaping up according to the plans of the Great Reset. Mention is made of how much further along this path Austrailia is, Canada too for that matter, and how the US is next. Maybe soon after the first of the year. This is the usual review of the Pre-0Tribulation Rapture point of view, which I disagree with on a few specifics, but I'd certainly like their timing of the Rapture to be true. Except of course I'm not worried about Christians anyway, I'm worried about my unsaved family who would have to go through the Tribulation, though perhaps with some protection if they're no longer in the US. I
I'm also going to include this interview by Susan with an escapee from Australia who is now in Mexico. They are both Christians and apparently not thinking in terms of the end times as I generally am and as the previous video is aboutt. It's more like the anticipation of the latest version of the Third Reich from which it makes sense for everybody to flee.
I'm posting this although the sound is terrible abd nat naje ut unoissubke fir sine ti gear at akk, U cab naje iyt buts abd oueces if ut,
The Great Tribulation will probably have a lot in common with the Third Reign anyway of course. The Fourth Reigh or Fourth version of the "Holy" Roman Empire. If you want to remind yourself of all that therer are plenty of videos on You Tube about the rise of Hitler and the concentration camnps, including one made in 1945 about the liberation of five or six of the campls. It's gruesome so be warned. But you know that I'm sure. This time the perps will be on the Left, however.

Veterans Day/Remembrance Day, a Day of Forboding This Year.
Veterans' Day in the US, Rememvbrance Day in Canada. The Canadian couple the Lechmans who moved to Mexico at the first of this yeare and provide welcoming videos about the country to other potential escapees, have a nice video on what this day is all about:
They've tied it into our current political scene which certainly does look like history repeating itself. It's particularly diabolical this time around because the perpetrators identify themselves with the victims of the previous world tyrants and are calling their oppoents the tyrants, the Nazis, the ascists, white supermacists and the like without one shred of justification. THEY are the tyrants, they are the fascists, the Marxists, the Inuisitors if you will.
I've seen quite a few videos at You Tube recently, about the Nazi era, and I keep thinking how something just as diabolical is shaping up today. And diabolical is certainly the word for it. the mentality is satanic, demonic, beyond anything you can think of as human despite our fallen human nature and the fallenness of this world. The coldblooded inhumanity of everything they touched comes through these stories. The taking of orphaned Polish children to be raised as Germans if they fit their idea of the Aryan race, people who are now about my age and trying to recover some shreds of information about their Polish families. The Nazis erased it all only too effectively. Then I saw another one about the death camp, the Sonderkommandos who were healthy young Jewish people who were chosen to dispose of the corpses of the Jewish people who had been exterminated in the gas chambers. They drag them out of the gas chamber and put them into the crematoria. Sometimes they recognized a family member. among the dead . The horror of it all is beyond anything we can fit into our soft lives as Americans or westerners in general. Diabolical absolutely.
"Never again" was the slogan that emerged after World War II asw the cry against the Holocaust, but here we are only a little over seventy=five years from the end of that war and the same forces are shaping up on a global scale.
It's the lies, the propaganda, that is particularly reminiscent of the earlier totalitarian movements. If you call your chosen victims by names that brand them as villains, or as something unhuman, as unworthy of living, you can influence great numbers of people against them. That's of course what happened to the Jews under Hitler but although Histler is always the emblem of such tyrannies, there were many others in the last century. The Communists branded the "bourgeoisie" or small business owners, and the aristocracy as the villains unworthy of life. In Rwanda the Hutus were propagandized into hating the Tutsis by a propaganda campaign that branded them as "cockroaches." ducing human beings to vermin seems to be the formula. Various brandings are at work today in the West: White supermacists is one of them, even just rejecting the vaccination makes you a villain class, sometimes just being a political conservative. You know, the "deplorables" and all that. Being a Trump supporter brands you for sure.
That is all coming from the Leftist Marxist ideology and its Critical Race Theory, and it promotes violence through elements in the Marxist organization Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Antifa is or course an example of how they identify themselve sas warriors against the evil fascists although all the fascistic thinking and the violence is coming from them against their chosen villains, the peaceloving freedomloving ordinary citizens, most of whom are conservatives.
It doesn't matter what the current stories in the news are, they are always bheing cast in these divisive terms with the Marxists loudly vilifying the conservaives. Even the trial of Kyle Riteenhouse is really just a political mockery of a trial. The evidence was apparent before the trial that he acted in self defense, but the forces that dientify with the rioters he was opposing are doing their best to make a viollain out of him.
Since opposing voices are silenced in so many ways, on social medial, in the "mainstream" news, huge numbers of people are being propagandzed into hating their political oppoents because that's all they hear. It's a potent method. The devil knows exactly what he's doing.
Yes it's Marxistm, it's fascism calling itself antifascism, it's all manner of po.litical totalitarianisms, but there is always this one player behind them all that keeps a low profile and even manages to emerge as a peacekeeper. Talk about diaboligical. Yes I'm talking about the Roman Church, the papacy and the Jesuits. TI posted a long list of books about them at my Roman Catholicism blog, and there are many more, just about all of them going back over a century before they succeeded in revising history. There have always been bloody wars but not until the Inquisition were a particular class, or classes, of people turned into a victim class and hunted down by the totalitarians. I'd be surprised to find out I'm wrong about this. The INquisition stands in my mind as the template for the Holocaust -- because Histler himself identified it as his model for one thing -- and all the other movements that pit one class of people against another. Marxism put it into pretty stark teminology: they divide people into Oppressor and Oppressed and it's the Oppressed who kill the Oppressors. You've got to notice how they languague reverses the truth.
So it's good to remember those who gave their lives in defense of the freedoms that are periodically threatened in this world. That's what this day is all about and I've heard a number of remembrances on the radio.
But this one is likely to be the last one, if we are in the Last Days as manyh of us think we arell. This totalitarian movement will likely be the shape of the Great Tr4ibulation, that last seven years beofre Jesus returns.
It's closing in, Plan accordingly. Pray. give yourself to Jesus Christ.
They've tied it into our current political scene which certainly does look like history repeating itself. It's particularly diabolical this time around because the perpetrators identify themselves with the victims of the previous world tyrants and are calling their oppoents the tyrants, the Nazis, the ascists, white supermacists and the like without one shred of justification. THEY are the tyrants, they are the fascists, the Marxists, the Inuisitors if you will.
I've seen quite a few videos at You Tube recently, about the Nazi era, and I keep thinking how something just as diabolical is shaping up today. And diabolical is certainly the word for it. the mentality is satanic, demonic, beyond anything you can think of as human despite our fallen human nature and the fallenness of this world. The coldblooded inhumanity of everything they touched comes through these stories. The taking of orphaned Polish children to be raised as Germans if they fit their idea of the Aryan race, people who are now about my age and trying to recover some shreds of information about their Polish families. The Nazis erased it all only too effectively. Then I saw another one about the death camp, the Sonderkommandos who were healthy young Jewish people who were chosen to dispose of the corpses of the Jewish people who had been exterminated in the gas chambers. They drag them out of the gas chamber and put them into the crematoria. Sometimes they recognized a family member. among the dead . The horror of it all is beyond anything we can fit into our soft lives as Americans or westerners in general. Diabolical absolutely.
"Never again" was the slogan that emerged after World War II asw the cry against the Holocaust, but here we are only a little over seventy=five years from the end of that war and the same forces are shaping up on a global scale.
It's the lies, the propaganda, that is particularly reminiscent of the earlier totalitarian movements. If you call your chosen victims by names that brand them as villains, or as something unhuman, as unworthy of living, you can influence great numbers of people against them. That's of course what happened to the Jews under Hitler but although Histler is always the emblem of such tyrannies, there were many others in the last century. The Communists branded the "bourgeoisie" or small business owners, and the aristocracy as the villains unworthy of life. In Rwanda the Hutus were propagandized into hating the Tutsis by a propaganda campaign that branded them as "cockroaches." ducing human beings to vermin seems to be the formula. Various brandings are at work today in the West: White supermacists is one of them, even just rejecting the vaccination makes you a villain class, sometimes just being a political conservative. You know, the "deplorables" and all that. Being a Trump supporter brands you for sure.
That is all coming from the Leftist Marxist ideology and its Critical Race Theory, and it promotes violence through elements in the Marxist organization Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Antifa is or course an example of how they identify themselve sas warriors against the evil fascists although all the fascistic thinking and the violence is coming from them against their chosen villains, the peaceloving freedomloving ordinary citizens, most of whom are conservatives.
It doesn't matter what the current stories in the news are, they are always bheing cast in these divisive terms with the Marxists loudly vilifying the conservaives. Even the trial of Kyle Riteenhouse is really just a political mockery of a trial. The evidence was apparent before the trial that he acted in self defense, but the forces that dientify with the rioters he was opposing are doing their best to make a viollain out of him.
Since opposing voices are silenced in so many ways, on social medial, in the "mainstream" news, huge numbers of people are being propagandzed into hating their political oppoents because that's all they hear. It's a potent method. The devil knows exactly what he's doing.
Yes it's Marxistm, it's fascism calling itself antifascism, it's all manner of po.litical totalitarianisms, but there is always this one player behind them all that keeps a low profile and even manages to emerge as a peacekeeper. Talk about diaboligical. Yes I'm talking about the Roman Church, the papacy and the Jesuits. TI posted a long list of books about them at my Roman Catholicism blog, and there are many more, just about all of them going back over a century before they succeeded in revising history. There have always been bloody wars but not until the Inquisition were a particular class, or classes, of people turned into a victim class and hunted down by the totalitarians. I'd be surprised to find out I'm wrong about this. The INquisition stands in my mind as the template for the Holocaust -- because Histler himself identified it as his model for one thing -- and all the other movements that pit one class of people against another. Marxism put it into pretty stark teminology: they divide people into Oppressor and Oppressed and it's the Oppressed who kill the Oppressors. You've got to notice how they languague reverses the truth.
So it's good to remember those who gave their lives in defense of the freedoms that are periodically threatened in this world. That's what this day is all about and I've heard a number of remembrances on the radio.

Rome Again: the Plot to Destroy the Protestant West
O happy I am to see this radio show by Chris Pinto, but slow I was to find it. A few days old but that's not too bad; the topic is timeless. He's talking about the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 in England when the Jesuits attempted to blow up the English Parliament kill King James I and bring back the Catholic monarchy. I hadn't known about Guy Fawkes Day until Pinto talked about it, a day of celebration in England over the thrwarting of this plot by a Guy Fawkes under the authority of the Jesuits. It's a very important historical peg for hanging a ton of information about Jesuit plots against Protestant nations and Protestantism in general. As Pinto points out, they've just about succeeded in blowing up America too Can we rally and put them down through Christ as England did? It doesn't look too hopeful, but our God is the God of the impossible and He hears prayer.
AGAIN I HAVE TO ADD THAT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT CATHOLICS AS SUCH, JUST THE ROMAN CHURCH HIERARCHY AND THE JESUITS. MANY CATHOLICS OPPOSE THIS POPE AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF PATRIOTIC AMERICAN CATHOLICS. AGAIN, THIS IS ABOUT THE HEIRARCHY, THE PAPACY, THE JESUITS, AND THOSE WHO ARE THEIR FOLLOWERS.
It's possible to talk about our current political woes, really treasons, without mentioning the Jesuits or Rome in general, but as I keep noticing, all that does is allow them to consolidate their power and influence without much resistance. Their weapon these days is Marxism, and it is important to know that it is THEIR weapon. There are certainly many other players on their side but as Pinto has shown time and time again the Jesuits are behind it all in one way or another. Their whole mission from their foundin by Ignatius Loyola was to bring down the Protestant Reformation, and although the US hardly identifies as a Protestant nation any more, they know it is and labor endlessly to destroy it. We inherited the Constitutional freedoms from Christian work in Europe and it all came together in a powerfully Protestant government, which Samuel Adams declared would be the "reign of political Protestantism." Years and years of revisionist hitory-writing have deprived us of that original framework , and it may be too late to recover it, but ... God is the God of the imppossible. We just need to call on Him with eerything that is in us.
We have a start in the Virginia election, and if we can keep the Democrats from rigging the next elections we stand a chance of recovering what we've lost. But only if we call on God with all our hearts.
I wish I had the energy to try to spell out more of what Chris Pinto talks about in this radio show, but I want to get it posted. It's important, listen to it.

The Global Agenda Galloping Along
On Jan Markell's latest show, the End Game, Brandon Holthaus discusses the globalists' strategies to bring the whole planet under their control. Something called Social Credit Schore to track everybody according to their support of the Agenda and punish them for not supporting it while rewarding those who do. It's already in place in China. We're talking The Great Reset here. The punishment of the unvaccinated is the current version of this plan.
Since the podcast in the previous post has already been taken down from You Tube I didn't want to post this one from there either but I haven't been able to find it on their other platforms. (I also haven't yet located the previous one but I may yet). I'm glad there is quite a big of resistance to this tyrannical takeover and I certainly hope it succeeds, but I'm not all that sanguine about it. Looks to me like we really are in the last days and it's going to bulldoze over all such efforts and impose this totalitarian tyranny on the entire globe. Our only real refuge is in Christ, but I also hope that God may provide some earthly refuges as well. Time to pray our hearts out. Perilous Times for sure. But as Corrie Ten Boom knew, "our times are in His hands" and that's the only safe place to be.
The End Game
This is a great analysis of what is in the works for our immediate future.

A Bit of a Boggle Boogie Around the Vaccines and Related Boggles by My Favorite Liberal Couple
Bret and Heather in their Dark Horse Podast #103 talk exclusively about the vaccination boggle today and although they aren't as focused this time as they often are I kind of enjoyed the tone of this one, a little sillier than usual. There's nothing funny about this stuff but if you can't laugh at it once in a while, maybe you're in danger of giving in to it, so giggle away. Anyway, they go from one obvious denial of problems with the vaccines to another, denials by the powers that be.
They also touch on the hydroxychloroquine boggle from last year which they confess to having overlooked, though they now recognize that it is an effective treatment that was subjected to the same sort of insane propaganda they've watched happening to Ivermectin. They talk about giraffes using a term I've never heard of and couldn't decipher for most of the show because I guess I missed their original statement about it somehow.
Later in the show they talk about giraffes being vaccinated atgainst COVID and dropping dead right afterward, followed by the usual weird denials that vaccination had anything to do with it or even that they were vaccinated at all. Their last story is about a nationally ranked young athlete who is bheing required to be vaccinated or not be able to compete any more.
Happy happy.
Added only five minutes later: OH GOLLY GOSH, IT'S ALREADY "UNAVAILABLE" RIGHT AFTER i POSTED IT. Golly gosh, I wonder why. Well, they are also on Odysee so I'll see if I can grab it from there.
HEY, hit the little arow in the lower right corner and you may get the podcast The first time I tried it the podcast was there, but not the second time so I'm not sure what's going on.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't find this video on Odysee.

Faith's Corner is Now Faith's Window
Yes, I just changed the name of my blog from Faith's Corner to Faith's Window. I knew Faith's COern was a name that belonged to something else, actually a movie, but I didn't think it mattered until I searched for my blog on another search engine and got nothing but references to that movie. I did give quite a bit of thought to the new name but I don't know for sure if I'll keep it. But that's going to be it for now at least.

The Corrie Ten Boom Story: Strength for These Last Days
Stumbled on this at You Tube, a very nice presentation of the story of Corrie Ten Boom, the Dutch woman whose family hid Jews from the Nazis during WWII, were betrayed and spend years in concentration camps where her father and sister died. She escaped by a "fluke" which was the hand of God, and spent her last years traveling and talking about her experiences and the love of Christ which sustained her through all of it. The sort of story that reminds me what a weak useless Christian I am.
a In the book that was written about her experiences she recounts a couple of miracles which for some reason are left out of this film, perhaps just a lack of time since others are included so it isn't a bias against the supernatural. But I miss the ones in the book: her vision or dream of her family being taken away in a truck, which she had some time before that actual experience occurred when they were arrested; the small bottle of medicine that never ran out in the baracks, that she shared with all the other inmates.

End Times Boggle Boogie
OK I'm having nother End Times interpretive boggle. Sigh. A well known teacher of the Pre_Trib point of view said that Daniel 8 is about the Antichrist of the Book of Revelation. I've been listening to the Bgook of Daniel lately, quite a few times as a matter of fact, and it's very very clear that the Antichrist of the end times will arise out of the Roman Empire and it's Daniel 7 not Daniel 8 that has the "little horn" arising from the fourth beast which is the Roman Empire. Daniel 8 has the little horn arising out of the third beast which is Alexander's Greece, so that has to be Antiochus Epiphanes wwas the Antichrust forefunner in the time of the Mqaccabees.
He is also the subject of Daniel 11 though I've heard that chapter also applied to the final Antichrist. Well, to be clear, the very last verses of that Chapter are apparently about the final Antichrist as there is a shift from historically known actions of Antioches Epiphanes to an unknown figure that must be future, and I'm not entirely sure where that shift occurs, but most of the chapter is about Antioches IV.
I might as well comment on another interpretation from the same school of thought, which is the idea that the Harlot of Revelation 17, who is identified as "Mystery: Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and the Abominations of the Earth: represents literal Babylon, the Babylon of Nimrod and Nebuchadnezzar. I don't know how many have this view of the harlot. I would have thought that most interpret her as Roman Catholicism because she sits on the city of seven hills. But apparently some see her as a literal revived Babylon in Iraq.
The way the Roman Church keeps flying under the radar for so many CHristians continues to amaze me. They succeeded only too well at deflecting the work of the Reformers who identified the Pope as as the Antichrist. Even strong teachers like John MacArthur who exposes the Roman Church in so many of his teachings doesn't think the Pope could be the final Antichrist. It's possible he's right I suppose but I still think the evidence is overwhelming that the Reformers were right and the contemporary Church has been deceived about the Pope's role in the end times.
The four-empire statue of Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 2 as well as the four beasts of Daniel's vision, and especially the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 which combines the features of the first three beasts in Daniel, all show the essential political and religious identity of the four empires, so that the Roman Empire IS Babylon, and the current version of the Roman Empire is the Roman Catholic Church. This too was recognized by various Protestant Reformers. The EU is cdertainly an expression of it too, but the Roman Empire in a sense never completely died as the Roman Church contginued it, the Pope being fraudulently elevated above the other bishops of the Christian Church, and acquiring a political power that is contrary to the spirit of Christ. This new version of pagan Rome ruled over the "Holy Roman Empire" through the Middle Ages, and only finally lost its power to the Protestant Reformation. The fancy vestments, the odd headgear, the jewelry, the superstitious practices like the rosary and lighting of candles and so much more are all pagan religious practices that come down from Babylon. The Roman Church is the Roman Empire is Babylon the Great.
I still generally accept the framework of the Pre Trib system. We have to have a seventieth week of Daneil, and the time times and half a time fit into that time frame. I guess my main problem is that I think it's all about the Roman Church and a revived INquisition, and not some unknown political figure.
argue this, just state it.

Israeli Christian teacher Amir Tsarfati on the meaning of Jihad:
Bret and Heather talk about the importance of Vitamin D in preventing COVID (from about 20:35)
I posted this before but it fits here: a good review of the studies of hydroxychloroquine's effectivenes for COVID, by Harvey Risch, head of Yale School of Public Health who has been an advocate for HCQ since the beginning. He still consideres it to be the most effective treatment, even better than Ivermectin.

Siete Años, Entonces Tres y Medio Años, Después de que Comienza El Dia del Señor
UPDATE: Since my Spanish is probably pretty bad, that title is meant to say: Seven Years, and Then Tthree and a Half years, (the three and a half beginning in the middle of the seven, not afterward in case that's what it sounds like), these time frames occurring After the Start of the Day of the LORD. Hope that clears up any possible confusion. /update
==========================================
Most of the people who are leavintg the countries where totalitarian shackles are in the making probably have no idea they may be facing the Grand Finale of Planet Earth rather than a temprary political situation of whatever duration..
I've already seen God's hand in aspects of this situation as it's been playing out in my own personal circle, so I've come to think of this as His merciful provision for those He has chosen to be saved during the coming Tribulation. Many of course will be martyred, but some may very well be hidden away in various refuges. I don't know, it's a possibility that's all.
It's sad how many people not only don't see the end times scenario shaping up but don't even see what is happening as a problem at all, don't see the threat of being shackled. There is nevertheless a large population of people who see it coming, those mentioned in the video two posts below who are aware and being scared into making a move. Others have chosen to stay and fight as they also point OUT. so we hope and pray for their success.
I've been considering joining my family band it's still a possibility but the more I think about it the more I'm convinced I'm just not up to it physically. I could always write my blog from wherever I am after alI, I just doubt it's going to happen that way. 'm glad the Lord gave me time with them before they left. even before they knew where they would be going, or even that they would be going anywhere at all. Yes He arranged even that. He even arranged that I'd just happen to have on hand all kinds of provisions I don't normally have, that suit their tastes and needs morer than my own, though I didn't know they were coming until they were just about on my doorstep. It's always a great thrill to see God's hand in events. He also arranged that post about the statues that I had no clue I was going to write until the last minute, and I have no idea why that particular subject took priority as it did but I leave that up to Him. There are many aspects of the last days that could be discussed, He chose that one, I didn't.
Knowing His hand is guiding it all helps us to face the future with less fear, and even with the faith to "do exploits" as the KJV version o the book of Daniel says. I don't expect to be here but I write a lot of what I write for those who will be.
Come soon, Lord Jesus.
