With all the protesting, rioting, and violence to allow Muslims refugees to come into this country are we growing closer to the end?
How long do you think freedom to believe in the ONE True God will continue to exist?
What's your opinion on this matter?

Well since the 9th Circuit Court upheld Judge Robart's ruling that Trump's temporary ban stands. It is apparent that the leftist courts have the control over us. So I wonder how long before they start controlling what churches will be allowed and which ones won't? I wonder when preaching or just simple discussing God's word will no longer be allowed?

Yes, we are entering right into the Great Tribulation: do you wanna know when, from an independent Christian researcher and journalist, in a relatively short video?, just let me know, not bragging, so if you do, just let me know if you want it privately or publicly, but i wanna post it publicly later here.
But after the Great Tribulation, we will enter 'the next great spiritual/religious awakening,' like this book from November 15, 2016 demonstrates with evidence and proofs:

Most Messianics believe in a 3 1/2 yr Tribulation. The first 2 years are what man does to man, and the last year known as the Day of the Lord.
And I believe as you that we definitely have walked through the door of the beginning of the Tribulation.
P.S. I have written these down and plan to go to Half Price Books to get them. They are much cheaper than Barnes & Noble. If they don't have them I will look on Amazon or the library.

The Tanakh/OT is quite clear on the division of the tribulation. People just don't read God's word and they want to 'hope' or 'guess'.

In Daniel the prophet speaks of the anti-Christ making a covenant for one week–7 years, but in Revelation John speaks of power was given to the anti-Christ for 42 months. The 42 months of Revelation, also described as 3 1/2 years, and 1260 days, is the duration of the Great Tribulation, the last half of Daniel’s 70th week. Danial's 70th week (7 years) is where the 7 year tribulation period comes from.

The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers Documentary
Religion and History Documentaries
many good ones on youtube....
https://youtu.be/Goqp3Z7KQLs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Goqp3Z7KQLs
DESCRIPTION
The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers is perhaps the first and only documentary to go where no film has ever gone before, confronting the little known beliefs of America’s founders. Conservative Christian leaders often claim that the revolutionaries were godly men who were trying to build a Christian nation. But was their faith the true faith of the Bible? Or is it possible that the exact opposite is true?
The real questions are: What did the founders believe about Jesus Christ? Christianity begins with faith in the Person of Christ Himself: what did the founders think of Him? What did they think of the Gospel? Were they fighting for Christianity, or against it?
Included in this DVD:
1) The faith of Thomas Paine – the man who inspired the American Revolution, and the writing of the Declaration of Independence. This film shows how Paine’s influence over the Revolution was critical, while his anti-Christian writings revealed much of what the other founders truly believed.
2) The faith of Thomas Jefferson -- author of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson said the Book of Revelation was “the ravings of a maniac” and that the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles were full of “imposture” and “stupidity.” After his private papers were published, he was called “the reviler of Christ” by a leading clergyman.
3) The faith of Benjamin Franklin -- the only man to sign all of the original founding documents. Franklin was part of a radical occult group known as “The Hellfire Club” in England that took part in satanic rituals, which may have included human sacrifice. Shortly before he died, he openly stated that he did not believe the Gospel.
4) The faith of John Adams -- the second President of the United States. The evidence shows that Adams was no Christian at all, but rather exalted pagan beliefs about God, while abhorring the Gospel, calling it an “awful blasphemy.”
5) The faith of George Washington -- known as “the Father of our country.” Three of Washington’s own pastors doubted his faith in Christ. Proof is shown that he went to war, not for Christianity, but for a “universal” system that would embrace all religions. When compelled by the clergy to confess his faith in Christ, Washington refused.
6) Washington & the Jesuits: Generally unknown is the role of Rome and the Jesuit Order in the American Revolution. Powerful historic evidence shows that George Washington worked with Jesuits to prevail against their common enemy, England. This information is ground-breaking and documented beyond any doubt.
7) Bartonian History: we confront David Barton’s fabled view of American history, giving examples (including his appearance on the Glenn Beck program) of how he misquotes the founders to make it appear as if they supported Christianity, when it is provable that they did not.
8) The Question of Freemasonry: Also included is an expose of David Barton’s book on the role of Freemasonry, contending on key points against his assertion that Masonry played no significant role in the founding of the country.
9) Biblical World View: Confronts the idea often suggested that the founders were “deists,” or “agnostics” – whereas, according to the Bible, they were antichrists.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS MARCHING TOWARDS JERUSALEM! A co-laborer in ministry writes: "The thoughtful person can hardly listen to, or read, the world news these days without sensing the growing tension as we seem to be moving toward an inevitable global crisis of terrible magnitude." This is EXACTLY what the Bible predicts for the world (cf. Rev). The world is headed for a period of JUDGMENT in what the Bible calls "The Day of the Lord". This is the time when God will directly intervene in worldwide JUDGMENT that will culminate in the Second Coming of Christ and the setting up of His kingdom on earth. According to 1 Thess. 5:2 "the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night." In spite of all the "signs", the world in rebellion to God and His truth will be oblivious to what is coming. They have no regard for the PROPHETS and therefore are in the DARK (cf. 1 Thess. 5:4).
The Bible teaches that in the last days there is going to be an upsurge in worldwide anti-Semitism culminating in the entire world rallying against and laying siege against Jerusalem. In this prophetic sense the entire world is marching towards Jerusalem. Because Israel has been under prolonged "discipline" in which God has pretty much allowed the Gentiles to have their way with Jerusalem (cf. Lk. 21:24) the world has completely lost sight of YHWH (the covenant-God of Israel). But He is still there! He is still on His throne and He is still keeping covenant with Israel. In the last days God will yet bring Israel to repentance and He will restore them. He will yet fulfill all His covenant promises to them. The world has no regard for this truth! Zech. 12 and 14 predicts that eventually the world will march on Jerusalem and attempt to dislodge it. In Zech. 12:3 God says, "I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it." Jerusalem will prove to be a ROCK too heavy for the entire world to move. In trying they will be cut in pieces. But try they will! Zech. 14:2 says, "For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem..."
There is a reason that tiny Israel is in the news every day. Since Genesis 12 on God has been speaking to the world through Israel. The Scriptures came through the Jews. The Messiah is Jewish. Salvation is of the Jews (cf. Jn. 4:22). Prophecy swirls around the nation of Israel. Israel is God's prophetic "timepiece". The Church Age is a "parenthetical" age. God in discipline temporarily set Israel aside (cf. Rom. 9-11) and during this time He is building a forever family consisting of whosoever will believe in Christ whether they be Jew or Gentile (cf. Gal. 3:28). But when the church is complete (at the Rapture - 1 Thess. 4:13-17) God will then resume and fulfill His prophetic program with Israel. Zech. 12:9 says, "It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." It will happen - it's just a matter of God's timing.
In the meantime our marching orders are clear. It is not for us to know God’s precise timing, rather we have been empowered by the Spirit to be Christ’s witnesses to the ends of the earth (cf. Acts 1:7-8). This is to be our great preoccupation as we await the blessed hope of our coming Lord (cf. Titus 2:13). Perhaps Today! Maranatha!
Psalm 2:5–6 (NKJV)
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”
Zechariah 2:8 (NKJV)
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
Zechariah 2:12–13 (NKJV)
12 And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”

this puts alot of it into perspective for me.
"ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY"?
President Obama loved the phrases "the right side of history" and "the wrong side of history". He would say things like "history will judge". But technically history has neither a right side or a wrong side and it doesn't judge. Accurate history is simply the record of what has happened. It is no moral judge! Postmodern thought thinks it can create its own reality. There is no absolute right or wrong; people individually DECIDE what is right or wrong for them; society as a whole CHOOSES to decide what is right or wrong for it. In this they play God and create their own narrative as it pleases them.
It is this type of mindset that allows people to say of gay marriage that it is on the right side of history. What they usually mean by this is that people in the future will look back on this decision and say it was the right thing to do. They believe that eventually the masses will affirm it with one voice to be RIGHT. So the right or the wrong side of history in the end becomes the world's majority moral opinion of what happened.
Just one problem: This is GOD'S MORAL universe! And in God's universe one does not have the prerogative to be the MORAL ARBITER of what is right or wrong. God alone is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He not only is the CREATOR of all, but also the JUDGE of all. And He is SOVEREIGN over all of history. History really is His Story that is headed to a God-ordained predetermined END! People like to pretend to be God but it always ends in DEATH (cf. Gen. 3).
When asked if he thought God as on the union's side Abraham Lincoln responded: "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right." As Joshua came to the border of the Promised Land just outside of Jericho suddenly a Man stood opposite him with a sword drawn. Joshua inquired, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?" The response came from the preincarnate Lord in the form of the Angel of the Lord saying, "No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Joshua then fell on his face and worshiped! (cf. Josh. 5:13-15). The great issue is not about whether or not God is on our side; but rather or not we are on His side!
God alone is the Judge of all and He alone is the Judge of all history! Every person ultimately has a "history" that will be judged by God. Every UNBELIEVER will one day be "judged, each one according to his works" (cf. Rev. 20:13). "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (Rev. 20:15). This is the LORD of all history JUDGING the history of every single lost person who has ever lived. The issue of the unbeliever's judgment is the degree of eternal punishment (cf. Mt. 10:15).There is also a believer's judgment. The issue of the believer's judgment is not punishment for sin because praise His NAME Jesus paid for all our punishment on the cross (cf. Heb. 10:14). The issue of the believer's judgment will be REWARDS based on quality of service (cf. 1 Cor. 3:11-15).
John Adams said, "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the facts and evidence." And God alone makes the ultimate analysis of all the FACTS of history. There will be no "spin zone" on judgment day! God will bring forth the facts of history with perfect accuracy and will judge all according to His perfect holiness. In that day history will truly be seen for what it is; and it will all be seen to revolve around the TRUTH of the Lord Jesus Christ and what every individual did with Him in history. It all comes down to 1 Jn. 5:12: "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." The ultimate issue in history for every individual is what they do with Jesus!
It matters not what a person's "legacy" might be for God is not impressed with any of our accomplishments or with human evaluation of such. In the end what matters is God and what He accomplishes through us for HIS GLORY. History is His Story and "IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM!" God alone will judge all history and his judgment will last for all eternity! It matters not whether we are on the right or wrong side of history as evaluated by people; what matters is that we are the right side of God for all eternity! People are concerned about their legacy in human history; God is concerned about our relationship with Him in light of ETERNITY. And where we stand with Jesus in history makes all the difference for ALL ETERNITY.

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.

Hebrews 4:13 (NKJV)
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Revelation 1:8 (NKJV)
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

I agree Clarity! And the old saying, "It isn't whether you win or lose but how you played the game" isn't accurate either.
Thanks for sharing.

Still waiting for the two "special bundle packages" I ordered that I told you about. "The Cosmic War Collection" has been and continues to be very popular, difficult to keep up with all the orders! Checked today and "The Cosmic War Collection" is still on backorder. According to Tom Horn, they're now looking at a shipment date of April 10th. As for the "Jonathan Cahn Mega Bundle", that will be shipped on Monday. So anxious to receive both packages!! LOTS of reading ahead for me! LOL

I just got both my books: Book of Mysteries, it's hardback because it's to new yet for paperback, and Petras Romanus [paperback].
Just read a random page in Book of mysteries while waiting for the rain to ease up so I could go into the store, it is called: The image of Their King. Loved it...
