ARAGUATINS, TOCANTINS – A 39-year-old woman had her left leg amputated due to blood clots just a week after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Cicera Santos took the shot on August 25th and was hospitalized four days later with venous thrombosis in her left leg. The thrombosis was so severe that doctors had no other option but to amputate her left leg below the knee.
Santos is now seeking answers for her sudden horror injury.
When the Church is snatched up, the Light of the World would be taken out. Literally.
Then the Lawless One would be free to conduct his affairs exactly as he sees fit. If the Church were to reside on earth during the tribulation, I am sure she would give the Antichrist fits.
That's not to say there won't be people who are saved during the tribulation.
From a practical standpoint, if the powergrid goes out, the light of the world would be taken out. A darkened earth surely paints an apocalyptic picture...

WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The Biden administration is considering a new China tariff probe if talks fail to persuade Beijing to follow through on promised purchases of U.S. goods, energy and services, officials from the largest U.S. business lobbying group said on Wednesday.
Cutting off the Nord Stream 2 pipeline could damage Russia's economy but could also have negative impacts on Europe at large. Moscow supplies nearly 40% of Europe's natural gas.
Im sure Putin was and is aware of the Nordstream deal but given the global economic turmoil that may see a change in world economic policy in the near future I think that would be a worse blow to Europe more so than Russia.

“Me deu vergonha que nosso presidente, diante de Putin, criticou os Estados Unidos e o FMI, sendo, além disso, a Rússia parte do FMI. É algo que não se faz, porque é o mesmo que ir aos Estados Unidos e criticar a Rússia”, disse a representante da Juntos pela Mudança.
The IMF is not a fraternity that requires diplomatic relations between its members per say. It's a monetary fund. I wouldnt worry too much about being politically correct within the IMF and would reserve diplomacy to matters pertaining to the UN since the former ultimately will respond to the latter.
From what I gathered, Fernandez went seeking economic diversity from a new partner partially BECAUSE of the way the IMF dealt with Argentina. It sounds like she believes the US has greater leverage within the Fund because of its quota. If that's the case, that's even more of a reason for Buenos Aires to seek counsel elsewhere. Besides, Russia isnt at war with the US or anybody for that matter. At least not yet. There is a dispute involving NATO and the former Soviet republic of Ukraine which the US is involved in.
In any case, the situation appears so dire, that there isnt a whole lot to lose either way.

The very real possibility of a hack attack taking place worldwide isn't limited to the Russian Federation, nor is it limited to financial institutions as previously demonstrated. China and Iran are two others that have probably engaged in that type of activity as well.
The threat is very real and poses grave danger to a world totally and completely dependent upon the INTERnational NETwork. It has become, for some people, in many ways, more indispensable than water.
And if it that's the way it is now, imagine what it will be like in the future when the net becomes truly indispensable? During the time where mere ACCESS to the net will require a pledge? At a time when reality will be artificial and as such, totally contingent upon 666?
Many have warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence falling in the hands of the wrong people. Imagine a select few individuals, or individual(AC), being able to control WWW through AI? Or worse, imagine AI being able to do so autonomously?

KYIV, Ukraine -- French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him that Moscow would not further escalate the Ukraine crisis.
COVID and POLIO are very different both from a pathogenic perspective as well as "vaccinology" since the latter produced a vaccine that PREVENTED the disease from being propagated and spread. THE COVID INJECTION DOES NOT PREVENT EITHER!
AGAIN. THE. COVID. VACCINE. DOES. NOT. PREVENT. A. PERSON. FROM INFECTION. That's where the argument can be made that it is not a vaccine to begin with! That's why the CDC had to change its definition of "vaccine" multiple times!
The writer argues against the anti-covid vaccine movement by suggesting developed nations have greater access to information and resources to fight against totalitarian approaches by government entities under the guise of medical "necessity". As if it's their fault they have a more advanced and sophisticated approach to a crucial aspect of society. What's the alternative? Developing nations should do the exact opposite of what developed nations are doing because they lack the resources? That's absurd.
Arguing against the writer's ideas that vaccines are "safe" and "effective" is a waste of time not only because no one has enough data to process-especially for children, who had the vaccine approved for less than a month ago-but because there have been DOCUMENTED cases of SIDE-EFFECTS, MORBIDITY AND EVEN MORTALITY! It doesn't matter how few cases there have been.
The polio vaccine has a 99% effectiveness rate. It PREVENTED the person from acquiring the disease. The covid injection does not even accomplish that.
The media is unquestionably trying to advance the agenda and because of that many in the "developed" world consider it to be the enemy.

When even the innocent aren't spared secularism, that speaks volumes about the present state of society.
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!
How did the Canadian government expect people to react? Did it seriously expect EVERYONE to simply go along with the inhumanity? Forcing people to take an injection that has side-effects and poses a risk to an otherwise healthy human being is a violation of human rights. It's that simple.
If there's a risk there MUST be a choice!
Messing with people's livelihoods drives them to do things that they would otherwise not do.
Im seriously shocked at the the Canadian government's decision to implement this type of mandate.
As believers, it is very important for us to be aware of the political environment especially in these last days. It is our duty as believers to be informed and to inform other believers about eschatological matters
The UN Charter outlines all of its goals clearly.
It focuses on "oneness" and "singularity" in every aspect.
In terms of politics, it seeks just ONE government. A WORLD government.
In terms of economics, it seeks just ONE currency. A WORLD currency.
In terms of philosophy, it seeks just ONE religion. A WORLD religion.
It's ok to be ok with climate awareness and it would be ok to conduct business matters in a single currency. Those are non-fundamental matters of faith. Your faith isn't compromised based upon whether you believe in global warming or whether you buy bread with Chinese yuan.
None of that presents a problem up until the point where in order to take part in that "oneness", you are forced to pledge your allegiance to it.
The world is quickly turning the tide in the spectrum of politics. Nations that are cognizant-and most are-of the UN Charter are aligning themselves with the agenda in ways that would allow them greater, easier access to the global union and all of its "benefits". The force is so strong, that nothing will be able to stand against it especially at top-level since all governments serve the same purpose.
Thus a rebellion can only occur on an individual basis. Aligning yourself with a political perspective, as a Christian, presents quite the dilemma. It is as follows:
1- If you align yourself with the left, you are setting yourself up to accept world citizenship which in time will lead you to take the Pledge.
2- If you align yourself with the right, you are setting yourself up to lose because the world government will be socialist in nature and you will not be able to buy or sell unless you take the Pledge.
The Christian is therefore left with just one viable option:
3- Align yourself with God.
Having opinions about political/social issues is not the same as having political affiliations but the more affiliations you have, political or not, the more compromised your faith becomes.
The article further mentions discord between Christians who have chosen to affiliate themselves along the political spectrum. On one hand, the left, you have the believer who says he believes yet possesses liberal views on social issues. On the other hand, the right, you have the believer who says it's not possible to have faith without being conservative. On one hand, you have a leftist walking in the Spirit on the other you have a rightist who has yet to be sanctified. And then, lastly, you have the conservative who says the following...
"If you call yourself a Christian and still lean left, there are two possibilities"
1-You dont really follow the teaching of the faith;
Which in my opinion, unless due to ignorance, would deem the person a non-believer or at least a believer that isn't yet walking in the Spirit.
2-or you follow them but dont fully understand what the left is about.
Which in my opinion, sounds quite plausible. After all, it could be argued that Christ was a collectivist. He just didnt think government should be the one to mandate such an approach.
I would care to add a 3rd possibility:
3-He doesnt necessarily see a connection between political/social opinions and faith. This happens a lot with younger generations of Christians.
This is why I think Christians should abstain from politics. The last scenario is a perfect example where politics may have led to division within the Church.
Tying faith with politics does more damage to the former since it is independent of secularism.
Quite a loaded article filled with presumptions about Christianity, politics, and what the two have in common, if anything.
For the Christian, it's ok to have opinions about political and social issues. After all, even though we are NOTW (not of this world), that is spiritually, we still exercise our being here, that is, on planet Earth, until further notice.
If you believe in God, chances are you are probably pro-life and against abortion because you value the sanctity of life, however, does that mean we should demand our way in a secular society and by default on individuals thereof? I am against the act of abortion, and my wife (if I had one) and I would not carry it out but I cannot stand against someone who wishes to have an abortion because that would be imposing my view on their end and that's not love. The same principle would apply to another secular issue which is civil unions. As Christians, we are opposed to this for it is detestable in the eyes of God and thus the unholy ceremony is prohibited in church. However, we cannot stand in the way of the state wishing to grant that which it has the authority to do.
Another issue, gun-rights, more prevalent in the United States than anywhere else in the world, is highly controversial because radicals hijack Christianity in order to advocate for their Constitution given right. Their 2nd amendment is what grants them the right to bear arms, NOT Christ Jesus. Even though I would not exercise that right, I cannot stand against someone who would since politics allow for it.
It's quite alright to stand against something without demanding our own way. Simply put, we can carry out our own spiritual convictions, and lead by example in our own lives so that it serves as a testament to what we believe. That should be reward enough for us to live by instead of trying to get everyone to think and act like we do.
What's not ok is to have or make political AFFILIATIONS because politics has to do with power/government. If you look through the article, you can see what takes place in the realm of politics. Things mainly derived from deceit. Things like slander, gossip, concealment of information, corruption, theft, etc. By aligning yourself with a candidate, we willingly or unwillingly become subject to them and become apologists for the candidate or party they're affiliated with and in so doing lose focus on our own campaigns, that is, our walk with Christ.
Take a look at Donald Trump, who in the power bestowed upon him by constituents, stomped on other constituents, help up a bible upside-down in front of a religious building and patted himself on the back for doing the work of the devil. Do you really think he cares about Christianity aside from the fact that many who call themselves Christians gave him their vote? Do you think he cares more about God than he does about holding the highest position of the lone superpower of the world? He may be aligned with your views on political and social issues but that doesn't mean he cares about the things of God. The very fact he wants to be in power is a testament to his ultimate desire, self-aggrandizement. This desire is something all politicians possess although to varying degrees, with some more so than others.
Jesus was clear on how he felt about either of the two (power & government). For proof, consider the fact He declined Satan's offer (3rd temptation) and stood against Rome and the Pharisees on multiple occasions. Also, remember what government really is and what better example of what it wishes to become than the beast of Revelation.
Abstain from political affiliations for they serve no Christian purpose in secular society.

Again, another important piece of information regarding Covid that is best judged individually.
For those who took the vaccine, have you experienced needles in your chest? If so, was it before or after?
Like Joe Brinden said, "we are all doctors". 😂
If this allegation turned out to be true, wouldn't it mean China already HAS hacked the US? And if so, wouldn't it mean China has the capacity to do so in the future?
Now there's a big difference between hacking a private news agency and the government, the latter of which I find would be much more of a complex if not impossible operation.
In either case, that's serious stuff.

Very unlikely to happen. Declarations of war can't be taken back. Anyway, if that was a Trump-era tariff, why would the US continue along with it when it has the power to change the law?
Any further allegiance to Trumpian policy would suggest continued hindrance to the collective (UN) agenda.

The biggest culprit is the mainstream media. Its biggest accomplices are those who are ok with lies. They not only tell lies but approve of those who do so.

“We need to assure the public that, unless some really serious variant causes another emergency, that we’re going to soon stop our emergency response and start with a 'living with COVID’ response,” Gostin said.
"LIVING WITH COVID" appears to be something a lot of people are advocating for...
I guess it will be sometime before someone explains exactly what that means but either way it's not something that makes me feel better about the present state of the world.
I mean, if we just "have to live with covid", what was the vaccine hype all about? People actually experienced serious side-effects from the vaccines. Some people even died. Others developed medical conditions. All for naught? All of that just so that someone can simply declare "Oh well, we'll just have to live with Covid". Just sweep it all under the rug? How do you expect people that see this to react?
It's turning out to be the most cynical, inhumane, plot in the history of mankind.
And the covid passports? Travel restrictions? Lockdowns? Concentration Camps?Was it all just a waste of time? Was it all just part of the façade?
What happens next?
Aside from inhumane, it's all just insane.
Just keep them as confused as possible. And sadly, some actually accept such rhetoric.

9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

(also called effectual grace,[113] effectual calling, or efficacious grace) asserts that the saving grace of God is effectually applied to those whom he has determined to save (that is, the elect) and overcomes their resistance to obeying the call of the gospel, bringing them to a saving faith.
When God sovereignly purposes to save someone, that individual certainly will be saved.
When you grab ahold of grace during the sanctification process, you trust God. When you sense the work being accomplished, you know God. When you realize it's all God's doing and that the Holy Spirit cannot be resisted, it is very humbling.
The Holy Spirit, "graciously causes the elect sinner to cooperate, to believe, to repent, to come freely and willingly to Christ." This is not to deny the fact that the Spirit's outward call (through the proclamation of the Gospel) can be, and often is, rejected by sinners; rather, it is that inward call which cannot be rejected.
There is nothing on earth more liberating than this act of the Holy Spirit.
In a world where deceit is the native tongue, simply telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
There's not much that can be done to stop or prevent people from spreading lies especially if and when doing so advances whatever agenda that particular person is pushing. Lying is no longer an innocent act nowadays. It is deliberate.
After all, this dimension(earth) is a lie itself and as such subject to consummation. And soon enough, the man known as THE LIE, will make himself known if you could believe that and will be destroyed by the Truth, Christ Jesus himself.
The cycle is perpetuated by those of this world, who either do not know themselves and are thus confused, or those who claim to know who they are but turn out to be whatever they think the world wants them to be.
Quite simply, they are lost. Lost minds and lost souls. What should we pray for in this instance?

I have not sought publicity, nor the attention of anyone. On the contrary, I have humbled myself to the point where I do not allow myself, or my image to be lifted up and posted on any of your social media sites which are all a platform for vanity, gossip, and selfishness.

I am truly humbled by the assignment you have given me my Lord. And I will forever thank you for these tears of joy...for you know my heart.
I love you.

The hypocrisy of the MSM is obvious when it comes to Covid. They flood their newspapers with covid news, beg their readers/viewers to get the vaccine, yet turn a blind-eye to "reality shows" that are far from practicing social distancing or any other type of preventive measures.
Were they tested? Are they vaccinated?
It doesnt really matter because neither tests nor vaccines prevent transmission anyway.
So if you are going to preach vaccines without practicing the other safety measures, you're quite simply, an ala carte covid freak or a hypocrite.
"Let's imagine Ukraine is a NATO member and starts these military operations."
Yea, that would indeed be quite a predicament.
"If President Putin truly does not intend war or regime change, the Secretary told Foreign Minister Lavrov then this is the time to pull back troops and heavy weaponry and engage in a serious discussion," a senior State Department official told reporters.
Whereas the previous scenario amounts to speculation, this scenario is quite different in that troops are already in place and if Russia backs up now it needs to prepare itself for further demands from NATO.
I dont think Vlad would have put himself in a position where backing-up would ever be an option. If that was the case, he would never have move troops in the first place.
Washington is not primarily concerned with Ukraine's security, but with containing Russia, Putin said.
And if that were to be true, it would be a legitimate concern. In fact, if it were true, it wouldn't be just Washington who would be concerned. It would be the whole world.
UPDATE 2/17/22
"If President Putin truly does not intend war or regime change, the Secretary told Foreign Minister Lavrov then this is the time to pull back troops and heavy weaponry and engage in a serious discussion," a senior State Department official told reporters.

NATO demands "proof" that Russia is withdrawing troops from Ukrainian border.
MOSCOW, Feb 17 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Thursday rejected what it called "unfounded accusations" by the United States and NATO that it was not withdrawing its forces from near Russia's border with Ukraine, saying it takes time to wind down military exercises.
In the Age of 666/WWW, I wouldn't be surprised and it wouldn't be a coincidence if the communications technology shared one of the mark's digits.

There are some who believe the virus originated in a lab in China. There are some who believe the virus isn't real. There are some who believe the virus is real but hyped-up.
Disease and pestilences are all a byproduct of fallen world. When man disobeyed God in the garden, he doubted God for God said "you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” As a result, man died spiritually and in time, physically.
This disease is different because if it was FABRICATED in a lab, deliberately spread, and done so with the intent of advancing a specific agenda, I would blame Satan before I blamed God. Thrown in the possibility that a "cure" was already in place and it makes the supposition that much more plausible.
As far as omniscience, omnipotence, and benevolence not being able to co-exist in a world where evil is present...
The point is moot. For if this world, which is evil, was all there was, then God wouldn't be fair. As it turns out, this world is NOT all there is, and the NEXT world is where perfection will reign.
The fact that God provides a realm where perfection exists is proof enough that everything that is, is indeed, the work of God, for "if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
https://www.onlythebible.com/Poems/Footprints-in-the-Sand-Poem.html
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

He didnt do so in order to somehow make the message more mysterious or appealing since all of the subjects He touched on were spoken of before by way of the Law and/or the Prophets. There were instances where questions were asked with duplicity and examples where the answer must have already been obvious enough.
He did so in order to make people meditate upon each issue so as to receive clarity about each message. This in turn would increase people's faith, gradually, as the Kingdom is revealed to them.
Matthew 13
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a]
