Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
Today is the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene. On June 10, 2016, the liturgical celebration honoring St. Mary Magdalene was raised from a memorial to a feast, commemorating the “Apostle to the Apostles” with a liturgical feast, the same celebration as most of the apostles (except for Peter and Paul).
“On the one hand, she has the honour of being the prima testis to the resurrection of the Lord, the first to see the empty tomb and the first to hear the truth of His resurrection. Christ has a special consideration and mercy for this woman, who shows her love for Him, looking for Him in the garden with anguish and suffering, with lacrimas humilitatis, as St. Anselm says. In this sense, I would like to show the difference between the two women present in the garden of Paradise, and in the garden of the Resurrection. The first disseminates death where there was life, and the second proclaims Life from a tomb, the place of death. … Likewise, it is in the garden of resurrection that the Lord says to Mary Magdalene, Noli me tangere. It is an invitation not only to Mary, but also to all the Church, to enter into an experience of faith that overcomes any materialistic appropriation or human understanding of the divine mystery. It has ecclesial importance! It is a good lesson for every disciple of Jesus: do not seek human securities and worldly honors, but faith in the Living and Risen Christ.
“Precisely since she was an eyewitness to the Risen Christ, she was also the first to testify before the apostles. She fulfils the mandate the Risen Christ gives her: ‘go to my brothers and say to them … Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her’. In this way she becomes, as is already known, an evangelist, or rather a messenger who announces the good news of the resurrection of the Lord; or, as Rabano Mauro and St. Thomas Aquinas said, apostolorum apostola [apostle to the apostles], as she announces to the apostles what they in turn will announce to all the world. The Angelic Doctor is right to apply this term to Mary Magdalene: she is the witness to the Risen Christ and announces the message of the resurrection of the Lord, like the other apostles. Therefore it is right that the liturgical celebration of this woman should have the same level of festivity given to the apostles in the General Roman Calendar, and that the special mission of this woman be highlighted, as an example and model to every woman in the Church.” —Archbishop Roche
Noli me tangere –Titian
St. Mary Magdalene
The feast of St. Mary Magdalene is considered one of the most mystical of feasts, and it is said that of all the songs of the saints, that of Mary Magdalene is the sweetest and strongest because her love was so great. That love was praised by Jesus Himself who said that because much was forgiven her, she loved much. Where she is buried, no one knows. Legend has her dying in Provence, France, in a cavern where she spent her last days, and her body resting in the chapel of St. Maximin in the Maritime Alps. Another has her buried in Ephesus where she went with St. John after the Resurrection. This latter view is more likely, and St. Willibald, the English pilgrim to the Holy Land in the eighth century, was shown her tomb there.
She was the first recorded witness to the resurrection of Jesus, His most ardent and loving follower. She had stood with Mary at the foot of the Cross on that brutal Good Friday afternoon and had been by the side of Mary during these difficult hours. On Easter morning, she went with the other women to the tomb and it was there, in the garden near the tomb, that Jesus appeared to her. It was she who brought the news of the Resurrection to the Apostles, and Peter and John raced to the tomb to see what had happened.
She was from Magadala, a small fishing town on the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and Tiberias. She was known to be a “great sinner,” a woman of the streets who heard Jesus speak of the mercy and forgiveness of God and changed her life completely. Her matter-of-fact witness to the Resurrection moved Peter and John to go and see for themselves: “I have seen the Lord and these things he said to me.” Jesus had chosen her to bring the news to them and she simply told them what had happened.
She has always been the example of great love and great forgiveness, one of those close to Jesus who grasped the truth of God’s love for human beings and spent her life bearing witness to that love.
—Excerpted from The One Year Book of Saints by Rev. Clifford Stevens
It is weird how a simple phrase can sound mysterious if put in Latin and left unexplained.
‘Touch me not’ is English for what Jesus told Mary.
Jerome is credited with translating the Scripture to Latin so that the common people in the Latin speaking half of the Empire could have the Scriptures in a language they understood.
Before that, the Scriptures were in Greek. Common Greek.
It is very ironic that the common Latin scriptures became something that dare not be translated to other common languages.
As an aside, here is a translator lamenting that he is not under the threat of burning at the stake. https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-bloody-history-of-bible-translators/
The area Christ lived in was ruled by Latin and Greek. Before the Romans, the people of Judah had a long hate relationship with Greek. But Greek was still in use, and the scriptures make clear that Jesus had an awareness of some Greek, like the Greek word for actor, hypocrite. Even the ‘live by the sword, die by the sword is a paraphrasing of a line from a 400 year old Greek play.
We know Christ spoke Hebrew and Aramaic. The latter was the common people’s language at that place and time. And now and then the authors put Jesus words in Aramaic into the Greek text. But not at the tomb to Mary. We also know that Jesus read and spoke Hebrew. He would read scripture in Hebrew, then tell people what he read.
So, we don’t really know what words Jesus spoke to Mary. We got the common Greek and common Latin translations and now hundreds of English translations. https://biblehub.com/john/20-17.htm But beware, some of these make Mary sound, well, clingy.
With deepest regard and gratitude for all you share with us, it is greatly appreciated and needed. May God have mercy on. us.

Gaza – yellow is invented by the IDF.
A map of Gaza – the yellow is held by the IDF.
Israel Update:
I have accumulated a lot of information and will update you now. It is too much to cover all the areas in one update, so I will take one area at a time. Today I will fully brief you about the Gaza area. In other updates it will be Lebanon, Iran, etc. I think this will help you understand the situation much better.
Gaza:
~Before 10/7 Gaza was allocated to the Shin Bet, or Shabak, which is the FBI of Israel—not the Mossad.
Shabak had its head appointed by the left-leaning government of Israel that was in power for only 18 months. He was a Deep State appointment and a left-leaning “criminal,” if serious negligence could be called “criminal.”
The Shabak sent a fighting team to the Gaza border area just before 10/7 broke out and did not inform anyone else. This will need an investigation. The Shabak apparently had no agents at all in Gaza and relied only on electronic means. This was complete negligence. They had no idea of the magnitude of the tunnel city under Gaza. The Israeli Deep State, which I started a work to explain it, which holds influence over the legal system, fought hard against replacing the head of Shabak, and eventually we managed to replace him with an IDF hero general who fought like a lion on 10/7.
The replacement took place only this past March, but he has already started to clean house.
Israel’s wars are determined in no small part by intelligence. In the Six-Day War, we had a spy in Syria who was close to the top, and we had the locations of the Syrian bases and what’s in each one before the war started. In the Yom Kippur War, we had a spy from the family of the President of Egypt. He alerted the Mossad, but in Israel it was not taken seriously, and we were “surprised.”
In Lebanon they had some 150,000 missiles recently and posed a real existential threat. Israeli Mossad had it all mapped. In a week or so, about 90% was destroyed. Along with the beeper attack and the assassination of their leadership, their spirit and capabilities were broken at that time. A Mossad victory.
In Iran, Mossad was instrumental in neutralizing their air defenses, both with warriors on the ground and by mapping locations. A lot of the targets that Israel, and now the U.S., are attacking come from Israeli intelligence. The opening strike of the war, in which dozens of military leaders and nuclear scientists were assassinated at the same time, was also, in no small part, an intelligence operation.
Why am I saying this? Because it gives context to the situation in Gaza now.
After 10/7, the Shabak formed a very large unit called NILI (an abbreviation for “The Eternal One of Israel will not lie,” from the Bible, 1 Samuel 15:29). Their job is eliminating everyone who was involved in 10/7, especially those who invaded Israel and those who held hostages.
In the last few months there has been a dramatic change in the intelligence situation in Gaza. There must now be dozens of human assets there. Possibly, when releasing Gazans who were held in Israel for terrorism, some were recruited before being released, along with other means.
Right now NILI is getting them—the Black List—almost daily, including one yesterday, two the day before, and it goes on and on. About 2,565 terrorists who participated in and infiltrated Israel on 10/7 have been eliminated so far. In Israel we get specifics on their names, images, and positions in the terror organizations and their involvement in 10/7.
On social media we have seen videos of Shabak personnel calling released hostages to tell them that their captors had been eliminated. This helps their rehabilitation process. Some of the captors were very cruel and abusive, without getting into details now.
~While the IDF did not finish the job in Gaza because of the hostages, the deal, etc., it held around 60% of the land and has been moving the “Yellow Line” slowly and quietly. It is now holding about 70%.
In the remaining 30%, Hamas and other terror organizations dominate. The population is still with them. The tunnels are still intact.
In the areas that the IDF controls, most of the tunnels have been demolished. Many of those areas have been flattened. Hamas is now in a hunted situation, where we hear daily about targeted assassinations—not only of participants in 10/7.
The “deal” requires Hamas to disarm in order for the IDF to withdraw. They are trying to manipulate the situation by pretending to be willing to surrender some weapons and make it look like they have complied. Everybody knows they will never comply for real, and sooner or later the IDF will likely get a green light to finish the job.
There are preparations for an Arab peacekeeping force (Moroccans, etc.) to enter. But as long as Hamas remains in control, that force will either be in danger or will collaborate with them. We just hope they will not become a human shield for Hamas. If things escalate, they will likely be ordered to leave.
There are also talks about beginning the rehabilitation of Gaza in IDF-controlled areas by building there and selectively relocating Gazans into those areas—Gazans who are not terrorists, if that is possible. These are part of the plans of the U.S. and the deal, but they are not on the ground yet.
Israel will have to hold its position against manipulative attempts to make it withdraw under a “fake disarmament.”
~I see videos, and there are statistical reports. I posted one video too. About 600 trucks are entering Gaza daily, mainly from Israel. Many of them are loaded with Israeli food, fruits, and vegetables. We are talking about many millions of dollars’ worth of aid over time.
In Israel we see it and cringe. Most of it goes to Hamas, which seizes it and sells it to the Gazans. Hamas is becoming very strong in the areas it controls. It is recruiting, training, and preparing for the time when the IDF tries to complete the job.
This reminds me of the period before 10/7, when the UN and others provided for the Gazans, enabling Hamas to focus on building up its power.
As of now, Hamas is no longer able to fire rockets into Israel or invade because of the Yellow Lines. These are marked with actual yellow-painted concrete blocks, and anyone crossing them is liable to be shot.
~In addition to the more than 2,565 terrorists who invaded and have been eliminated, there are also some 300 terrorists in Israeli prisons awaiting trial. Those who participated in 10/7 may face the death penalty, but this would need to be legislated.
~In Gaza they report 73,231 people killed since 10/7. There are also higher reports, but this is their own Health Ministry number.
Of those, estimates are that 22,000–30,000 are terrorists. They claim 21,000 children, but they count everyone below 18 years old as a child, and many Hamas terrorists are under 18.
When the IDF targets a known terrorist, it does not hold fire if he is with his family. This is a key reason why civilians are killed in such numbers.
The civilian-to-combatant ratio is controversial. In Israel they claim it is 1.4:1. Other sources say 3:1.
In Mosul, Iraq, the ratio was about 2:1 or 3:1.
In the Syrian Civil War it was about 2.4:1.
For comparison, in the Syrian Civil War about 650,000 people were killed. That would make roughly 430,000 civilian deaths.
In the Russia-Ukraine war there have been about half a million deaths on both sides.
In the Second Congo War, about 5.4 million died if you include the humanitarian crisis. About 350,000 died from direct violence.
In Vietnam it is not clear, but estimates range from 400,000 to 2 million civilian deaths.
I can go on, but we claim that the obsession with Gaza is clearly financed and antisemitic when those involved are applying double standards.
~In Israel we have neither forgotten nor forgiven the horrors we witnessed on 10/7 and the support of the population and the society that manufactures terrorists capable of the most unimaginable horrors. They praise them.
In Israel there are efforts to encourage emigration out of Gaza, and the matter has just been turned over to the Mossad, which recently received a new director. I have no numbers on how many have already left, but there is a problem finding countries willing to take them, even if they need medical help.
After a struggle against the Deep State and the legal system, a war hero and a very combative man who is also very brilliant, who was personally the highest-ranking fighter on 10/7 and was himself seriously wounded, has just become the new Mossad Director.
Depending on the results of the upcoming elections, if the right wins, the sentiment in Israel will likely not let go of Gaza until Hamas and terrorism are defeated. The deals involving the U.S. and others are viewed as an impediment to getting this job done, but we are patient.
May God Bless Israel,
May God Bless America
David,
Thank you for this update and the previous one you gave us several days ago. There is no objective reporting on Gaza in the US.
I am looking forward to your next few posts.
God bless you, your family, and Israel.
Jeff
Thank you Jeff.
Thank God that you can clean up some Deep State abuse.
As you know, Trump replaced Multiple Deep State Actors to no avail. Sessions and Rosenstein were as bad as Holder or Lynch. Wray was even worse than Comey. Bondi tripped over her own incompetence. Garland and Monaco were quite effective Deep State for Biden. And Patel, seems to live happily with his Deep State crew.
Also be careful thinking that the clean up is done. Our deep state really loves CIA type limited hangouts. Some necessary sacrifices must sometimes be made, but the bulk of Deep State evil is still protected.
I say that because there were lots of organizations that failed on 10/7 and initially a lot of finger pointing between them. I’d hate to see real accountability disappear behind some hokey accountability narrative.
But to be fair, I wish we were that far along.
Thank you. The situation in Israel is worse than the U.S. , I have been working on explaining it and dropped it for a whole year as it is not an easy thing to do factually with no theory only facts.
The reasons why it is worse in israel are :
1. Israel doesn’t have the define Constitution that you have and structure with The House and Senate etc… , it has what we call “Fundamental Laws” that suppose to protect basic rights but are not as solid as the Constitution because the Supreme Court has violated some when they want.
2. The Supreme Court is at the hands of the left and Deep State and not like you, they are appointing themselves basically. So new Judges are also Progressive Liberal Political activists, most of them. To a degree Israel is not free because of this.
Everyone can take things to the Supreme Court including foreign anti Israel entities.
For example recently the choice of the new Mossad Chief was challenged because of some questionable thing in his past. The real reason is that he is not from the Liberal group and not Deep State. Eventually he passed because the complaint was not provable. The New Head of Shabak (Israel’s FBI) was challenged too because he was also from outside the circle. He issued to as his past was quite impeccable. But we say that it is against the law to even get involved in such appointments.
~A few days ago a Minister decided to close a Government sponsored radio channel that is like your NPR. The Supreme Court blocked it.
~They introduced the “Reasonable Clause” that enables them to make illegal judgments when they consider sobering “unreasonable”. So Bibi appointed a while a go a Minister who had a criminal record of corruption. But it was long ago and permitted by law. It was a Finance Minister position. The Supreme Court declined it as “not reasonable”.
~The whole legislation to change the Judicial system, to make Supreme Court Judges elected by the elected government, to cancel the “reasonable clause”, etc… was blocked by the Supreme Court. And since most Media is in Deep State hands they steered up mass protests that were at the background of 10/7 and Hamas said it was a factor as they thought Israel is weak.
So basically to change the loop and involvement of the Judicial in Political decisions Netanyahu would have to legislate a change of the way they are elected and limit their power. But they will decide against it.
He will have to enforce it against them. That will be “a Constitutional crisis” as we call it. The police and Shabak and IDF will have to decide if they want to follow the deviations of the Supreme Court or the elected Government. This is a borderline Civil War. Right now the Minister over the Police is not Deep State but the Police Chief is. He can’t fire him as the Supreme Court will oppose.
The Shabak was in their hands and it just changed. The Chief of Staff of the IDF is arguably one of them too. Bibi pointed him unfortunately.
Before the last Government who was Liberal, the last Government, they appointed a Chief of Staff of the IDF. It was in the last week and it was opposed at the Supreme Court, The court permitted it. They sneaked in one of their own and he is ultimately responsible to 10/7 to a good degree. Previous Chief of Staffs were also of theirs and they shrunk the IDF’s ground forces which was later a problem and why Israel fought Gaza and then Hezbollah and not both at the same time, etc. Many more combative Officers were let go and more liberal promoted. This is all in a process of change now as the Defense Minister is getting involved in all appointments of the High ranks. He is right wing man.
4. Israel was born semi-socialist so they are still holding some key areas like media, IDF (in a process of change), Judicial, etc.
This is just a bit but I gave you a flavor of the situation. To a good degree the future of Israel will depends on what we do or don’t do on this front.
I need to get back to my long article on Israeli Deep State to really explain it all.
P.S. the 10/7 investigation is hang up. The Judicial wants to appoint the members of the investigative people. If they do that you will have left Deep State people investigating and they will use it to take down the government. A political body. Netanyahu wants a ballanced body of investigation that is half right wing and half left. If Netanyahu loses the next elections we will have the first option and we will never know the whole truth.
Typo: “The head of Shabak passed too because his past was implacable.”
The computer altered words.
💪 🎶 🇺🇸 . 🇮🇱 ❤️ ☀️ David: I’m so impressed with both what and how you are presenting today, as well as Sunday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do want to hear all the very interesting and granular details you wish to report to us about truly anything, especially about the precious and sacred Country / Nation / People of Israel AND her enemies and friends.
And, from your perspective, I want to hear what Israelis really think and feel about U.S. “help”.
Again, I want to hear whatever you find of interest to inform us about.
I learn SO much from you, David!
Wow, we are so fortunate to have you, your talented research, wisdom, and time-consuming translation and writing in your SECOND language. God Bless you, David.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One thing to clarify: the U.S. is actually experiencing a lot of what you describe above that is happening in Israel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This includes the fact that many judges (and mayors, such as Mamdani saying he will arrest Prime Minister Netanyahu) all around the Country (!) keep randomly grabbing power they do not possess and “ruling” that something PDJT or his MAGA warriors do or proclaim or know to be true is against the law (when it really is not even in their jurisdiction or purview).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You mentioned our NPR above. If I recall correctly, PDJT or his appointee WITHDREW FUNDING so we taxpayers would not be funding our enemy in essence. And, I believe one of these Communist judges STOPPED it. Also, even if that withdrawal of funds is actually in effect, I did read recently (do not recall the source) that NPR and PBS are being funded / partially funded by the Communists; so both NPR and PBS are still here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We just had PDJT get blacked out by most of Corp media when he gave a Prime Time Address about National Security!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’ve even found that several Supreme Court Justices that PDJT appointed have JOINED with the radical Justices and gone against PDJT in MAJOR ways — even in the last month or so on “Birthright Citizenship”; this latter ruling (if not overturned or legislated away) opens the door even WIDER to the U.S. being overrun with people who do NOT love the U.S.; such as, for example, Chinese citizens or Islamists / Jihadis who can and WILL vote in our Elections but they may live in China / Muslim countries most / all of their lives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the U.S., we are MUCH less protected by the Constitution than we were in prior decades or than what our Founding Fathers intended and sacrificed their all for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a lot of what is upsetting / distracting PDJT and his MAGA followers, including many / most here on CTH.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I realize that even if you do SEE this happening in the U.S., that you probably don’t want to address it much until WE do . . . .
. . . Well, if that’s the case, then please feel free to consider the field wide open because I just addressed it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also contributing to this wrestling match between Patriots and Communists is that the Islamification of the U.S. is well under way, as you’ve taught us, both here on CTH and on your incredible Channel (both Videos and Shorts tabs) LastRefugeDavid, at Rumble.com.
By the way, I love that you throw in other topics of interest on your Channel, such as humor, a very touching video of Iran before the Islamic Conquest, and one of today’s featured videos: “Cats Can!” in the Shorts section — to name just a few!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♥️❤️♥️🙏 Amen to your Prayers above and to ALL your Prayers, David! 🙏♥️❤️♥️
Thank you and Amen. ❤️ 🙏🏻 ❤️
The Israeli Deep State situation is worse than the US and I am familiar with the situation in the US.
I know that Judges that Trump appointed are not doing what was expected. But at least he could appoint judges and when a party wins they appoint hundreds of regular judges.
In Israel the majority of votes when appointing a Supreme Court Judge are coming from within the Judicial branch. So you get a Supreme Court that represents maybe 4% of the population – far left.
Imagine that Trump appoints a Secretary. The left digs some questionable aspects in the past of the appointee and takes it to the Supreme Court. Legally it is out of their reach but they take it anyways and decide that the appointee is not qualified. There is no law that allows it but they have the “reasonable clause” that enables them to call it “not reasonable”.
Now every appointee has to overcome this hurdle. Unless the Deep State liked them.
The Supreme Court decided that women can serve in the toughest unit of the IDF. I am not here to deal with the subject matter but this should be a decision of the military.
They decided that Death Penalty to terrorists is not OK. So you get no deterrence. It results in thousands of civilian casualties. Now the government legislated something like this again. We will see if it will pass them this time.
They just decided that the vilest prisoners from 10/7 are not getting good enough food and nutrition.
And to top it all the Israeli equivalent of the American AG is also Deep State anti Government.
She can order the police to investigate politicians on the background of disagreement with their politics.
She can recommend to the Supreme Court who can and can’t be appointed to key positions like Director of Mossad.
Trying to split her authority and the Supreme Court will block it. It’s a mess.
The good in Israel is that the new generation is not liberal progressive so eventually hopefully the balance will naturally shift.
In other words, the balance of powers between the branches is badly off in Israel, the Judicial dominates.
But they represent the only hope of the liberals to hold power against an increasingly growing right wing demography. This is why we had such wild protests before 10/7 when the government tried to reform this system.
As to my opinion on U.S. matters I think you pretty much know. The U.S. is on the edge between moral and greed.
As to U.S. involvement in the Middle East we appreciate all the help and hate the interference that is based on Western values and is not matching the reality on the ground. Like US insisting to enable elections in Gaza that led to Hamas elected. Like now Trump apparently wants to enable Saudi Arabia have nuclear plants built by Americans. Awful. The Saudi Prince had a human being sawed to pieces because he opposed them.
Hopefully it can be prevented.
So we have mixed feelings. Trump did lose face since his flip flops and dance with the Iranian regime. Previously he was very admired. But we give him credit for the good that he did before and hope he will stop being buddy-buddy with our enemies of Qatar and Turkey, etc.
Overall Israelis understand the value of the US but also that we can’t count on it for the long term as the newer generation may not be as friendly to us as the older one.
I am mainly concerned of the American education and morality. Since I got more views on Rumble I am seeing some really antisemite comments in concerning amounts and also plainly dumb comments of the ignorant. So far I am enjoying deleting their comments and blocking them. The ability to evaluate information is not so good.
Shalom and God Bless the US with good education of true values.
🧐💛 Thank you, David. Amen.
I truly appreciate your candidness.
💛 We love , welcome, and cherish you and your opinions, observations, and research, David! 💛
❤️
I am amazed how many are traitors in our government. Some how they were brainwashed to believe that “free” America is not possible, and sided with the lunatics. Or maybe we are lunatics to believe men want to be free, I believe more each day the latter.

Sandy Nelson
I had his Superdrums album.
Sandy Nelson’s “Superdrums!” album was released in 1966 and features a mix of rock and roll tracks, showcasing his drumming skills. The album includes covers of popular songs like “Kicks” and “Hey Joe.”
I lost the album when I moved. I had in still packed in boxes in my new house and the basement flooded in a storm. It was the only time the basement ever flooded.
I have an observation and a tug at my Spirit. Those who understand prophecy will know where I’m going with this.
In the 90’s, prophets started talking about a reverse proselytizing that would take place. For years, America sent missionaries abroad to unreached lands to share the Salvation message through Christ in alignment with The Great Commission that Christ spoke in The Holy Word. But there would be a tide turn, and foreign nationals would come here… to teach The Word of God to Americans.
It is clear.. we are in that time presently for our country’s cultural make-up is changing. This melting pot has been invaded nefariously, illegally, and our social systems are suffering those movements.
But the ills of our nation are not just from alien invasion… they are from our American culture being wholy distracted and too easily entertained by gross negligence and enticements and inducements… purposefully ignoring faith in God Almighty and negligence in committing His Holy Word to our hearts and minds…. this giving up our God-Given rights and freedoms in exchange for bondage and slavery to darkness and submission to the prince of this world and darkness.
And we wonder why things changed?
However we learn our lessons, we must learn them.
Arise and awake, dear friends. Taste and see The Lord our God Is Good.
If our nation will repent and turn from our wicked ways, God Will Restore our land and it will be better than we could have ever imagined and Lord Will Return and bring the new Jeruselum with Him and He Will Bring Heaven down with us and He Will Live amongst His People.
This is not an Eternal perishing but a chance at Eternal Life in Perfection… but each of us must choose… speak Life or death. We will all give account.. repent and turn today.. and sin no more.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, I pray for us all, AMEN

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
There are people working today, as they have been for centuries, for the appearance and reign in the world of the Anti-Christ.
They will enthrone him in Jerusalem as his worldwide capital. Apostates from Christianity will bow down before him.
The Second Coming of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ will bring his rule to an abrupt end.
Amen, Sepp… knowing The Word of The Lord will help you know the difference between the counterfeit and The Messiah!

John 20:1-2, 11-18
☘️
On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”
Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the Body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and then reported what he told her.

✟
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”
Proverbs 15:3 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PROVERBS 15
1 A right cause will be better pleaded with meekness than with passion. Nothing stirs up anger like grievous words. #2|. He that has knowledge, is to use it aright, for the good of others. 3|. Secret sins, services, and sorrows, are under God’s eye. This speaks comfort to saints, and terror to sinners. #4|. A good tongue is healing to wounded consciences, by comforting them; to sin-sick souls, by convincing them; and it reconciles parties at variance. #5|. If instruction is despised, reprove men rather than suffer them to go on undisturbed in the way to ruin. #6|. The wealth of worldly men increases their fears and suspicions, adds strength to their passions, and renders the fear of death more distressing. #7|. We use knowledge aright when we disperse it; but the heart of the foolish has nothing to disperse that is good. #8,9|. The wicked put other things in the stead of Christ’s atonement, or in the place of holy obedience. Praying graces are his gift, and the work of his Spirit, with which he is well pleased. #10|. He that hates reproof shall perish in his sins, since he would not be parted from them. 11|. There is nothing that can be hid from the eyes of God, not even man’s thoughts. #12|. A scorner cannot bear to reflect seriously within his own heart. #13|. A gloomy, impatient, unthankful spirit, springing from pride and undue attachment to worldly objects, renders a man uneasy to himself and others. 14|. A wise man seeks to gain more wisdom, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. But a carnal mind rests contented, flattering itself. #15|. Some are much in affliction, and of a sorrowful spirit. Such are to be pitied, prayed for, and comforted. And others serve God with gladness of heart, and it prompts their obedience, yet they should rejoice with trembling. 16,17|. Believers often have enough when worldly eyes see little; the Lord is with them, without the cares, troubles, and temptations which are with the wealth of the wicked. #18|. He that is slow to anger, not only prevents strife, but appeases it, if kindled. #19|. Those who have no heart to their work, pretend that they cannot do their work without hardship and danger. And thus many live always in doubt about their state, because always in neglect of some duty. #20|. Those who treat an aged mother or a father with contempt or neglect, show their own folly. #21|. Such as are truly wise, study that their thoughts, words, and actions should be regular, sincere, and holy. #22|. If men will not take time and pains to deliberate, they are not likely to bring any thing to pass. #23|. Wisdom is needed to suit our discourse to the occasions. #24|. A good man sets his affections on things above; his way leads directly thither. 25|. Pride is the ruin of multitudes. But those who are in affliction God will support. #26|. The thoughts of wicked men offend Him who knows the heart. #27|. The covetous man lets none of his family have rest or enjoyment. And greediness of gain often tempts to projects that bring ruin. #28|. A good man is proved to be a wise man by this; he governs his tongue well. 29|. God sets himself at a distance from those who set him at defiance. #30|. How delightful to the humbled soul to hear the good report of salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ! #31|. Faithful, friendly reproofs help spiritual life, and lead to eternal life. #32|. Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul, and wrong the soul to please the body. #33|. The fear of the Lord will dispose us to search the Scriptures with reverence; and it will cause us to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit. While we humbly place all our dependence on the grace of God, we are exalted in the righteousness of Christ.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
WHERE ARE YOU, LORD?
In the early morning light, I see YOU
I begin the day just right; I pray, too
I recall the blessings YOU have given
I ask to be Holy Spirit driven
I thank you for the sunshine YOU have sent
For the flowers and trees; their nourishment
I thank YOU profusely for loving me
And pray I may serve YOU graciously
Oh, but lately, Lord, I’m having trouble
I’m anxious, lonely, and seeing double
I do not know what has come over me
It’s been really hard connecting with Thee
Overwhelmed at times, I can find no rest
From the constant barrage of evil’s quest
From unwelcome guests who rob me of time
From interrupted prayers to outright crime
Where are you, Lord? I need you right now
Come quickly into my heart somehow
Fill me with your Spirit and make me whole
Let me suffer no more with this empty soul
Hear my cry in the day and into the night
Protect me by day and by night, be my light
Let not Thy presence be hidden from me
In your mercy, Lord, hide my sin from Thee
Whatever I have done or have not done
Let it be known; let victory be won
Gather me into Thy Loving embrace
Wash the pain and tears away from my face
Reveal to me what I have done so wrong
Away from YOU, I have suffered so long
The emptiness inside is so hard to bear
I wonder, at times, if YOU are even there
Where are you, Lord? Oh, please hear my call
I’m confused, broken in my wherewithal
Why are you silent in my time of need
Is it because of my secular greed
Have I not attended to my daily prayer
Have I neglected for my neighbor to care
Have I been selfish thinking only of me
Oh yes, that is it – that is what it must be
Hence the reason for the anxiety
My trust in YOU, Lord, has just ceased to be
My heart is on things of the world not YOU
No wonder I’m hurting, lonely, and blue
Thank you, DEAR LORD, for clearing the air
For sending YOUR SPIRIT for me to care
For renewing in me hope, love, and peace
For making this longing finally cease
Forgive me, Lord, for my selfish pride
For from you I have been trying to hide
For feeling unworthy to share with YOU
My ineptitude and shortcomings, too
Why did I even think YOU did not care
Why did I ever refuse with YOU to share
Why did I think YOU could never relate
To the suffering I simply abate
Did you not see in the Garden at prayer
The loneliness a man is forced to bear
When he is abandoned by all in the end
When no one will stay; not even a friend
Did you not ask for this cup to pass
Was it your fear? What was it alas
Was this just another human refrain
Something YOU would do all over again
No, you were not complaining it’s not fair
And you were not wishing YOU did not care
YOU were just preparing YOUR human side
To let YOUR soul with YOUR Father reside
So I’ll take my cue directly from YOU
And stop thinking of me as YOU would do
Deny myself and just follow YOUR lead
And YOU will provide whatever I need

in other news (non-Presidential), the United Kingdom (UK) has nationalized British Steel, which was a company purchased by China a few years ago. The Chinese controlled company is suing to stop the UK from nationalizing the company it purchased. The UK said they needed to take over ownership of the business to ensure, safeguard, a critical industry.
article in today’s Canadian Mining Journal:
https://www.canadianminingjournal.com/news/uk-nationalizes-british-steel-jingye-challenges-legality-of-takeover/
Let’s see, UK installs new Prime Minister with no elections, takes over control of a business because it can, am reminded when the nation of Mexico nationalized its oil and gas industry, trashing the customary business structure of a company being accountable to its stockholder investors.
Wonder if Canada will be nationalizing its mines in order to shore up its finances and how such moves might have a ripple effect for Canadian mining companies that have set up US subsidiaries (only US companies can mine in the United States so it’s not unusual for a Canadian, even Chinese company to create a US subsidiary to operate mines here).
just wondering out loud after reading the posts of reactions by Canada’s leaders on the recent US tariffs and their intent to ruin the U.S. economy. Beyond my paygrade but will be watching to see what if anything happens on this side of the pond given how China has cornered the market on both the processing and sale of critical minerals while the western governments (Canada, England, Australia) realized they are holding no cards.
I read about the nationalization elsewhere, supposedly chyna was somehow in a position that they were going to allow the furnaces to go cold thus rendering them unusable / expensive to restart so UK nationalized to prevent.
It was the UK’s last smelter & I don’t doubt that chyna doing so would boost their standing for steel making in the mainland.
As to the article linked…. “Ministers have said British Steel faced significant financial distress and that Jingye had not committed enough toward meeting the country’s decarbonization targets.”
I do not think you can ever “decarbon” steel making…. that is why it is in mostly in chyna now but I guess if GVT owned “decarbon targets levels” are no longer a problem.
