And Interlude in the study: Propaganda war

As I've been home, waiting for my new job to start tomorrow (yay!!!), I have been sharing tons of stuff on Facebook on what's going on with Israel and with Jews around the world, and I've started noticing, today and yesterday, a surprising increase in other smaller issues. As I've been sharing them, I keep waiting for more information on Israel, and it's not showing up in anything I'm looking at. It's like it's being systematically removed from the system, and replaced with these other concerns. It's like what happened with Hawaii; after a short period of outrage and upset, it got swept under the rug by other, lesser issues, and disappeared from the news, and thus, from people's attention.


Please, let me remind you, that this is very much like what happened in WWII. There was, indeed, outrage at what happened to Jews initially, but the powers that be swept it out of the public eye, and as it fell out of the news, it stopped being opposed. That is how Ravensbruck and Auschwitz disappeared out of sight and became the death camps that they were.

I predict that, shortly here, Israel and the growing anti-Semitism around the world are going to drop out of the news. You won't hear about it, you won't see it. It'll disappear off Facebook, off Instagram and YouTube, off the radio networks and TV channels. It'll be as if it never happened. And in its place will be dozens of other social justice issues, crises, and horrifying things that the media will hype up and place in front of you to distract you from the real travesties going on.

We are seeing in action very well known propaganda tactics. They were used in WWII, and with media becoming the end-all, be-all, they are being used more than ever.

In the coming weeks and months, more horrifying things will pop up on the news. You will be bombarded with so much information until you don't know what to do. The amount of horrifying information coming out will terrify you and paralyze you, if you let it. In fact, that's what it's supposed to do.

The tactic is very simple: remove the unwanted news sources from in front of the populace's eyes, put other news in front of them, and they will forget what you don't want them to remember. If someone remembers, you don't need to worry, because you'll paralyze them with fear from all the other bad news you can report on. The world is filled with bad news, and you can even create your own. Shut off outside sources of news, censor the media, make sure the education system is sub-par, and you have a populace who is easily controlled and manipulated.

How can you combat this?

1. Prayer.
Pray that God will continue to protect Israel and Jews around the world. And that He will keep your mind set on truth, and reveal the lies to you.

2. Keep Scriptures as a central part of your home. Keep Scriptures in your mind, and hymns as your staple music. It is hard to be afraid when you remember that "A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing."

3. Share what information you do see about Israel and the growing anti-Semitism. I am going to continue doing this, but after this post, I'm going to strive to share nothing but that information at this time, and celebrate Christmas. The more we share other issues, the more information about Israel gets buried in the system.

4. Encourage each other, knowing that the growing hostilities against Israel was prophesied. Comfort yourself with the end time prophesies, knowing that Christ our light is coming soon. No one knows the day or the hour, but the signs are here.

5. Pray that God will give you wisdom on how to act, and to know when there is opportunity to act. Know that there might come a time where you might have to hide Jews. Where you might have to make a stand. Be ready.

The Parable of the Tenants: Matthew 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12, Luke 20:9-18 - Part 2. - The Three Parallel Parable Accounts

 Hello, hello! I'm back again! I hope you are well!  This section of my study is focused on the three parallel accounts of this parable found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. I may or may not include Jesus speaking of the Cornerstone in this reading. I'll see how much time it takes to get through these passages. Now, Matthew was an eye witness, and Mark and Luke obtained their information through other eyewitnesses, and faithfully recounted the details as they had been passed on to them. You might notice that some of the details vary between the Gospels in some of their recountings of what occurred, but don't let that be a discouragement, as it would be far more disturbing if they were exactly the same. When different people recount a story, there will always be minor differences between their accounts, as one will hear one thing that another might miss, another will notice something that the others did not think significant, and all three might omit things based on what their f...

Adulting Isn't Just A Meme, But A Real And Valid Struggle

Image
Adulting: a term used by young adults to describe the struggles they're having with adulthood, and also sometimes used derisively by older adults to make fun of young adults struggling with adulthood.  In the past 10 years, there has been a lot of shaming young adults, and even people into their 30s, for struggling with doing things previous generations seemed to do with ease. Things like getting a job, doing grocery shopping, making meals, mending clothes, house keeping, handling money, and a whole host of other things that make up the sphere of adult responsibilities have proven to be very difficult for the current generations of young adults. And I'm here to say that that shame is not justly earned. Yes, the previous generations were able to do it, but they were in a very different time and situation than we are today, and I'm going to explain several reasons why it's so difficult now. 1. The past two generations have been the most underprepared generations in millen...

Bible Study Resources

 Here is where I am going to consistently update what resources I use in my studies, and some background information on them. Feel free to look through these as you study the Word of God with me.  - Baker Commentary on the Bible: Based on the NIV:  This is a Bible commentary that I do not usually use. I grew up with it, but I have not been overly impressed with it as a commentary, and there are some things in this commentary that I do not agree with. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this as a primary commentary, but it is a fair commentary to use alongside other commentaries if you are wanting the opinions of multiple scholars. -Bible Gateway: Bible Gateway is an online resource for different translations of Scripture, which can be very helpful for Studying Scripture. It also has some commentaries and other resources, most of which can only be accessed if you subscribe and pay for a membership. I generally just use it for the various translations, as I don't have a big enoug...
