actually it is India that buys nuclear weapons from Russia and vice versa.
so complicated. Youd think they'd supply curry to spice up their potatoes or something. But no, they spend all their govts money on deadly weapons.

meh

lol there is no 'super government' just because a country is big, or makes lots of money, or has lots of weaponry, doesnt actually mean it has power

Only Jesus kingdom has true power...of the holy spirit. Until ppl understand that they will never have peace that passes all understanding and eternal security

God can melt the hardest of hearts and He could create an earthquake or send a storm in an instant. He can make it rain or not. He could probably melt the permafrost if He wanted.

How can God allow this evil?

My son watched the movie Columbiana about a woman assassin who kills 24 cartel members along with a whole bunch of other gunmen which were never counted. The woman is actually seen as a tragic heroine as everyone she ever knew growing up dies.

We then turned on the news about what is happening in Ukraine. I had said that God used Satan in the book of Job so it is not unreasonable that God would use Putin here. It could be just like that movie you just watched, you cheered for the woman because everyone she killed was a killer. My son complained about the human rights abuses, how could God allow this to these innocent civilians. I said they could flee. He said he knows of people who cannot flee, they want to but the way is blocked. Which brings me to my point.

This thread was started December 1st with a news clip of Anthony Blinken warning that Russia was preparing for war. In other words, everyone in Ukraine had 3 months warning. They could have fled, they chose not to.

He then argued that maybe they are not allowed to leave Ukraine without a vaccine passport (I don't know the answer to that). So I pointed out they could have gone to the Western part of Ukraine. There is no war there and once Russia invaded Ukraine they could have easily fled to Poland or some other country at that point.

So then, let's be honest. Everyone was warned and everyone that wants to flee now could have fled then. They chose not to. Perhaps they didn't want to hear the warning, perhaps fleeing would have been inconvenient. But don't blame God for that, the entire world received a 3 month warning.

1Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

Yes, if you had been paying careful attention to the politics and history you could have gotten an even bigger warning. If you left in the last three months you lose your job, your home, but save your life. If you had seen what was coming down the road eight years ago you could have sold your house and gotten a new job before fleeing.

Propaganda. It's easy to believe that we don't live in such a corrupted world.

It's easier for man to invent "an generic enemy" for everyone to kill without regret because it's difficult to justify it and see the faces of those men kill in real life. The zombies for instance, we can justify in our minds that these were once human but now no longer human and let everyone from children to adults be entertained either shooting them on the video games or eating popcorn and watching them get shot on TV. Hence the birth of the Zombies and the release of the nature of man upon the image of an man who we may kill without remorse... oh wicked man.

Don't take the easy way, narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it.

I became disillusioned with the main stream media when the Mueller investigation ended and they never told me the result. I was busy at work, focused on other things, but had expected to really go to town when the report was released and instead crickets.

So I began digging around, just like the Jews in Egypt when they had to get their own straw. I came across Steve Bannons' Warroom pandemic site. He was a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist but it was because in January of 2020 when he started this show he was saying that some virus in China could become a pandemic. My thought was he was right, all you so called experts were wrong, I don't think that is a valid reason to dismiss this guy. From that point on I learned a whole lot, I learned why they didn't mention Mueller's report after it was released, and so much more.

It is really something when people lie to you about major issues they will lie about everything. After you document lie after lie after lie you begin to see through the lies and see the motivation and agenda. The enemy reveals his plans and how he hopes to manipulate everyone. As a result by the time the vaccine came out I had many reasons to not trust one word they said and to question everything.

Manipulate everyone you see it's reasonable to see that the MSM is permitted and those who tell truth banished from the media as we see happening both here and in Russia for fake news,,, but if this is true it's unreasonable to believe then that there is an web-site that is permitted unless it also is fake news(just for the opposite followers)...

I think it was during the summer of 2016 that I saw a live CNN interview with Trump. They asked him hypothetically, if he was president, and the law was that it was illegal to get an abortion, and a woman got an abortion, what would he do? He said, "Hypothetically, if that was the law, I'd have to prosecute her." He'd be breaking the law if he didn't.
A day later a heavily doctored version of the interview came out and they made it look like he was for putting women in jail. I had to see it with my own eyes to understand it. A week or so later, Trump mentioned it in an interview, but no one responded.
That opened my eyes up to the lying. I've since caught them in many lies. I'd watched CNN for years and had no idea what they were doing. If someone had told me how corrupt they were, I don't think I would've believed them.

Hi ZNP,

That was good to have that conversation with your son, as he would be trying to work it all out, especially since he would know that God is sovereign. May I suggest further points.

God is not about making people`s lives comfy, happy, safe, successful etc, (all short term) but is interested in our hearts to turn them to Him the true source of life and safety, (eternally). If God ran around stopping all the cruelty of man, the consequences of our sinful, selfish nature, then He would be doing that forever. Instead God knows that we have to face the consequences of mankind`s selfish heart, (misuse of power, corruption, cruelty, pain, sickness, wars etc) and see that God is our ONLY hope.

Nothing like a reality check of pain or war or ....... to shake us to our vulnerable state. Especially in the West we have printed off realms of so called money, like Monopoly currency, that those in third world countries pay with their cheap labour. `D` day is fast approaching for us (in the West) as our present life style gets eroded.

A wake up call, yet challenging as to who we will put our trust in - man`s answer to their problem, (CBDC`s leading to the Mark) or trust in God, pull in the belt and help others. Note going to be very difficult for this `entitled` generation.

Keep up the discussions for your son will need your relationship to help him navigate as our economies fail and the IMF life line is put into gear.

I have never listened to Hal Turner however, Prophecy Club quotes stories that he has frequently even though he will take issue with Hal Turner.
