I have this feeling that something very wrong is going on in this country. See, I don’t worry about my European home country – people there are used to living without freedoms; they don’t speak up, they don’t demand anything, they allow government to govern their life. Under the former Soviet Union they also trusted their doctors injecting vaccines in their children .
Even as a very young teenager I knew that my country was not the country of the “free and brave” people. I learned about USA back then through soviet propaganda. Them badmouthing the USA , I started to admire it, the USA had everything I dreamed of; freedom of speech, freedom of bearing arms, and all the opportunities in the world. I saw USA as a country of strong people, brave people and I dreamed of being an American. While my girlfriends had portraits of pop singers on their bedroom walls, I had on mine an American flag .( big mistake, I got in trouble for this)
My girlfriends in high school talked only about boys and their only aspirations were to become wives and mothers as soon as possible… I dreamed of escaping to USA And live my life as a free person. No wonder, my family was always persecuted under communism , our apartment was bugged and we were prohibited to hold any religious meetings. I remember my mother being questioned by the police once because the neighbor saw too many shoes in front of our door . So she called police, just in case there may be some kind of religious meeting in our apartment. (In Eastern Europe it is a custom to remove your shoes before entering a home)
At last, after finishing nursing school and working in a local hospital for few months..an exciting opportunity came my way. I was able to go to the USA! I came alone at first, with only twenty dollars in my pocket and no English. My nursing degree was not honored in the US, so I had to resort to cleaning houses for a living. I did not mind, I was willing to do anything just to be in USA.
I lost sleep rather choosing to study the English language by nights and worked a lot during the day. Sometimes I cleaned three big houses a day and at the end of the day I vomited from severe exhaustion. But still, I was so happy because I was in the USA – my dream had come true!
My father called me one day and asked me to come home. He did not like me cleaning houses, after all I was highly educated – at that time my nursing education was an honorable position in my country. Plus, before coming to US I had applied to the prestigious Charles University to study medicine. I had completed my entrance exams before leaving East Europe. When my dad called me that day, he had a pretty exciting news for me … I was accepted to the University to become a medical doctor! Yet I told my father. ..” I am sorry, I can’t leave America. I rather clean houses here but at least I am a free person” and I informed my dad about my huge plans: How one day I will enter an American University and live a happy life as an American. I even told him I will bring him and my mom to the United States,
and that I did….
… there is so much more I could write…
So why do I tell you all this?
BECAUSE I SEE THAT AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT AWAKE.
because your freedoms are trampled upon and You and I are about to loose all of our rights. Yes I say our rights because I too am now and American citizen and have been for 20 years.
If we don’t do something now, the results will be horrific.
I came to this country as a very very young woman, on my own, with no language, no family, no help and no money. I came for freedom and opportunities. On the day I became a citizen here I was very proud of it. I knew that WHAT YOU HAD as American people is unique. You had a constitution. You had freedom!
Please don’t give this up. Speak up. Watch for Trump and don’t let your love for him blind you. He is only a man and he is making severe mistakes.
Please guard your freedom.
My comment is this.. you say we must do something now.. What is that something. What can we possibly do that will change the truth that we are END TIME BABYLON. Described in Jeremiah. 50 and 51, also Isaiah 47 in a few other places.. There is not a thing we can do to change the word of YHWH Elohim.. Other than pray for man souls to be saved, as the Judgments against the USA increase..
I look forward to the coming of Yahushua/Jesus, because I know that History proves beyond a reasonable doubt that MAN CANNOT GOVERN THEMSELVES..
The USA has been compromised for years.. There is one picture for the public, AND A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AGENDA BEHIND THE SCENES..
ALL, ALL, ALL NATIONS LIE IN THE HAND OF SATAN.. EVEN BABYLON USA
God bless you
1st we should stand for our rights, like the right to live. Abortion is wrong, voting for God’s Word and standing instead of doing nothing when they say it’s okay for same sex marriage and stop watching. Listening to songs and programs that are showing such abominations. Teach our kids and grandkids, our household does not condone such trash, even cursing.
Kids cartoons and even Disney teaching our kids false religion, teaching’s of the occult. You are responsible in our Lords eyes to do these things. Stand for the Lord, and tell the Pastors it’s their duty to teach the Word and stand on it. If we do our part, while we still have the right to do so, it’s much easier this way. It is our duty to STAND for our Lord ALL THE WAY TILL THE END, which of course yes it will end but that’s a cop- out to use as an excuse it is what it is. STAND FOR OUR LORD……KEEP STANDING TILL THE VERY END. DON’T EVER EVER GIVE UP!!! BLESS you all in the name of our Lord YESHUA. A NAME TO STAND FOR Since he gave his life.
You are very wise. YHWH states that we are not even to bother praying for her, for her judgement will stand.
What you can do about it is ESCAPE! And you are commanded to repeatedly. America is Babylon the Great.
See thewayofyhwh.com
Vatican City, Rome is that great whore that sits on 7 hills and comits fornication with every nation under the sun. Babylon the great is the Roman Catholic church. And the pope is the Beast.
I struggle with this very thing. Should I hooe and pray for my country? Should I get on those prayer calls for President Trump? If it all has to happen like this, my hopes will be in vain, right?
But- so we know for sure that this is how God is going to fulfill the end times prophecies? So we know for sure that America is end times Babylon?
No, we don’t. We can speculate and make educated guesses, but if we are honest, we have to say that we don’t know exactly how God is going to play this all out. In fact, it’s arrogant to say that we know for sure what God’s plans are for America, isn’t it?
He can do anything, and we can’t begin to imagine all of the ways God could USS the country in these days.
So, I continue to pray for America and pray for Mr. Trump. We surely and he surely needs it.
*do* we know for sure, I meant
And- all the ways God could *use* the country
Hi! I wanted to say thank you for your story. Even though i am not jewish i have followed the youtube videos for some time and always look to them for the truth. I know exactly what you are saying we are asleep some more than others. I live smack in the middle of the country in the middle of kansas and i even see it here. I dont feel right even commenting on here due to fact i am not jewish or really into religion as some are. I do believe in god but growing up in the heartland i have been presented with different religious beliefs but always come back to my Christian roots. After all my middle name is christian and my mother says that is what my soul is and always will be. I am not particularly proud of they way i have lived most of my life and the things i have taken for granted. When school was done i left and vowed i would never return to this life now 25yrs later i am back where i left from and all i want to do is the things i worked so hard to get away from. For most everyday is a struggle but i truly believe most deep down know god is real and freedom is precious. I kinda ranted a bit but honestly feel like somehow i know you maybe a different life or maybe because we are all connected as gods children. I have found myself praying lately something i hadnt done in a very long time. It seems that tragedy is what always brings us back. I hope it doesnt take ww3 to bring everyone back to god. Again i appologize for off topic rant but i am very happy she made a good life in our great country we need more like her.. Thank you.
I really hope i didnt offend anyone with anything i posted. If i did i am truly sorry that was not my intention. I feel the same about all no matter what race, religion, or beliefs.
It doesn’t have to go down this way if the people would just wake up. Yes many things are pointing towards the endtimes, but nobody knows the day or the hour but God. God wants us to make things better while we are still here, not lay down and give up. I recently spoke to my 90 yr. old Aunt and she told me that my Grandfather that I never knew, back in the 1930’s thought that they were living during the last days (the great depression) the point is that all throughout history people thought they were in the last days, so while the days may be short, we must fight to make things better because the last days may be 100 years from now. Nobody knows but God.
The world will get worse and worse even until the Man of Sin is revealed, 2 Thessalonians 2:11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Everything must be fulfilled as prophesied
I see u too have been deceived by Satan by changing the name of Jesus…the bible does not lie..it was inspired by the Holy Spirit..do you think the Holy Spirit does not know the name of the savior..only the name of Jesus saves…anyone who adds to or takes away from the holy bible will be cursed the bible says..you are doing both..adding yeshua and taking away the only name by which to be saved..why not change Jerusalem? It has a J
Let me address this to both sisters here: Do you have any idea how many languages their are in the world? For example English is my wife’s 5th language and in every language the name of Jesus is spoke according to their own tongue. We cannot say that Jesus chose English or Hebrew as the all authority language for the Gospel? This would make no sense when we know he sent out 70 in every tongue to share the Gospel. Hebrew we say Yeshua which means “I am Salvation” so each language we must use “I am Salvation” according to their own tongues to know His name.
Sorry to everyone who’s thinking that despite the fact that our Messiah was born a JEW, and His family was JEWISH, meaning they did NOT speak English, you think somehow that the only language (IT did NOT even exist when Yeshua walked the earth) that His Name was ever spoken in was Entlish. Does it not occur to you that His Name is “Jesus” in the English Bible, but in the ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, it is Yeshua. Israelis and Jews who are Messianic call Him Yeshua today still.
There are much more important things to think on these days than what language we speak when we say His Name. This is so wrong for so many reasons! I would prefer being called by my real name than some other language’s version of it, and honestly, names in other languages are usually still pronounced as the bearer of the name pronounces it. Yeshua is His Name – OR perhaps Yahusha or Yahushua, but it’s clearly not Jesus. There was no letter “J” when He walked the earth, to begin with. His Name in Hebrew means “Yah is Salvation”. YHWH (GOD) has given Messiah His Name and called Him our Salvation, and the “Old Testament” tells us that GOD (YAH) is our Redeemer.
SO, why don’t we all just pray for and love each other as we are commanded, and when the two witnesses are here “restoring all things”, we’ll know exactly how to say and spell both the Father’s Name, and the Son’s, and many will be truly amazed also regarding just what the “Godhead” really is, and a whole lot more we all think we know to be true. NONE of us knows everything, NONE of us has it all right, or even close.
Thought – read the Bible from the front before reading the back. You may be truly amazed! Shalom aleichem.
I speak English and only English. My English calls the Messiah – Christ, Jesus Christ. That is what I call him. If I spoke some other language, I would use that version of his name. God knows all languages. He is no respecter of persons. I’ll leave it at that.
@Susan Smith et al of the same delusion..
Do you realize you are making the same mistake that the so called “Sacred Namers” are, condemning and cursing brethren, even casting out, persecuting and deceiving to the point of death!?
It is a very serious matter! In fact, dead serious!!
By your ignorant and immature statement you are misleading others, especially new and immature believers, into questioning and/or rejecting His Name entirely, and worst case Him who IS The Word, all together!!!
I`m writing this warning in love and pray that you will correct yourself. Be a good Berean, and remember that He said “my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge”!
I have made similar mistakes that I greatly repent of and pray that I did not mislead anyone, but if so, I have prayed that God sends others to correct my mistakes/misleading, before it is to late! Souls are at stake!
Luke 17
1Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come! 2It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
FYI :
As others have pointed out too. English and the letter J did not exist in New Testament times and certainly not in Old Testament times. The earliest form of English (Anglo-Saxen) did not come around until 550 to 1066 AD! The letter J was not commonly used until the 17th century AD and was not even “invented” until the 16th century.
So, if you want to write and pronounce The Name of God and The Christ in the language it was written you are going to have to learn Greek and Hebrew !
The Old Testament, which is the English name for The Tanakh, was written in Hebrew/Semittic languages. It was translated by Jews into Greek in the third century BC, which was the lingua franca at that time. That is the Septuagint, aka LXX. The New Testament was written in Greek for the same reason.
If you want to know why The Name is in English and several other languages, you have to learn about transliteration!
I`ll give you an example; My sons name is Ioannis, which is the transliteration of his Greek name . In English and several other languages it is pronounced . It is the same name as Johannes in for example German and Norwegian. In English it is John. In Hebrew Yochanan. In Hebrew letters . Transliterated from Hebrew it is also Jochanan / Johanan.
And the translation/meaning of it is .
Indeed He is! 😀
If you realize your error, do a 180 and end up running to “Sacred Namers”, stop! before you hit the wall on the other side!!
Here is a link for your convenience : https://theisraelbible.com/glossary/yeshua/
Also;
Yeshua (Jesus) was born a Jew, hence a Jewish name, spoke Arameic/Hebrew (surely also the common language Greek. Probably even all other languages being who He is, but that is another subject..).
He taught from The Tanakh (The Old Testament, which was The Entire Bible then, including now missing books due to the involvement of Rome/Constantine and others at the council of Nicaea in about 325AD) in general and in Jewish Synagogues, meaning that He who IS The Word was reading, speaking and teaching The Word (including His Name) in the language/s it was written and in the languages of His hearers. And, He was also living out /prophesying / teaching and inspiring The Word which we now call the New Testament. Which, as I said before, was written in Greek with the addition of some Arameic words.
No English involved, not even the letter J !!
To make my point even clearer, technically you could say Joshua instead of Jesus, because Jesus is derived from Hebrew, via Greek and Latin. Hebrew Yehoshua (Joshua), abbreviated: Yeshua, in Greek abbreviated transliteration – Iesous, Latin – Iesus. Into modern English – Jesus.
YHWH is the Name of God. (I cant get into the whole meaning and lost pronunciation, substitution of His name with LORD etc now and it is better to ask Mr. Ben Nun about that anyways, and how His name is IN many of the names in the Bible, which are lost in translation/ to us who do not know Hebrew, but easily found when studying original names! .)
Yeshua/Yehoshua/Jesus means “YHWH saves”. It is as simple as that really.
And remember “The Shema” – God IS ONE!
Shalom 🙂
I wouldn’t resign myself to the idea that Babylon is America just yet. It could be that Jerusalem is the city of Babylon.
For example, Revelation 11:8 refers to Jerusalem as a ‘great city’ and Revelation 17:18 refers to Babylon as a ‘great city.’ Another example would be Isaiah 1:20-21. That passage refers to Jerusalem as a great harlot. In yet another example (in Jeremiah 25:15-18), we see that Jerusalem will ‘drink from the cup of the lord’s hand.’ Isaiah 1:27 and Isaiah 4:4 also both suggest Jerusalem will be redeemed through judgment.
Truth is, we simply cannot say for certain who is Babylon just yet. But even if America was Babylon, I wouldn’t adopt the attitude that we should just throw up our hands in defeat. We are always to be active in our faith. As long as we still have a voice, we should be using it. Voices wake people up and awakened people possess the power to demand change before it’s too late.
The voice is a powerful, powerful weapon. It would be a shame to lose that weapon – especially without ever having even used it.
Absolutely!! I could not agree more!
couldn’t have said it better myself, praise our saviour jesus christ
I understand Jana’s reasoning completely and may she be blessed for standing up for righteousness, But you ceratinly have a point here, so Amen to you.
“Fear not for all these things must come to pass”….
further, we have been warned…. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 / Isaiah 66:4
Hi Ruth, I think she was paying emotional homage. The truth is those of us who are in the know also are working with the Trump Administration to hold these companies accountable.
–Robert
It’s YHVH ! It is locked in an acrostic ! If your to use Heavenly Fathers Holiest of Holy names Get it right. It is contained within the volume of the book !
Our Yehovah is Master of All! His Son will Reign! There is no turning back. The age of ignorance is OVER. WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND HAVE COME SHORT. YESHUAH…FORGIVE US!!! WHAT will you say to Yeshuah? REPENT! Work for His Kingdom. Time is at Hand. Matthew 24
Jana,
You are an inspiration to so many and I pray your life’s experiences sink in to the lives of the oh so many who take these freedoms for granted. I pray for your safety and wellness in your journeys thru this thing we call, LIFE. To GOD be the glory…..
I agree, I think its to late and God/jesus Christ is going to make us humble. Satan was cast to earth and he is the God of the earth and controls it and he cant escape thats why i dont believe we ever went to the moon this is satans prison
Thank you, Yana. I know a lot of us in America take for granted the freedom we have. After reading your message, I now see that in myself as well. May God bless you above all you could ask or think. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
Steve today opened my eyes to how we Christian US citizens are being deceived as well. I always wondered why so many US servicemen commit suicide while in nations where they are stationed, or back home when they return. Now I understand why!
Thank you both!

Yes, I agree; Americans are asleep, and have been for some time. I was born on Long Island in 1947, and was raised as a Christian boy in love with God and my nation. But the Supreme Court ruled in 1963 that the 10 Commandments were forbidden to be shown in our public classrooms any longer. Before that very year ended, President Kennedy was assassinated! Johnson became president, and the war hawks started beating the drums about Viet-Nam – – – and we all know how that jewel of foreign policy turned out.
Around that time, the women’s liberation movement began embracing birth control pills, bra-burning, and soon the Supreme Court ruled that women even had the right to kill their babies. Then we got Nixon and his secret plan to end the Viet-Nam war by invading Cambodia! We had apparently forgotten Eisenhower’s warning about the military/industrial complex – – -.
Now, after 70 years of living as an American, I see we have completely kicked God out of our society, and have fully embraced the homosexual agenda. Is there any wonder as to why we’re having all kinds of problems? We didn’t want God telling us how to behave, so the only remedy now is divine judgment on MYSTERY BABYLON, or if you prefer, the Divided States of America. As a fallen nation, we have so richly deserved the judgment that is currently underway. God bless America? God DAMN AMERICA!!!
I could not agree with you more,and to add fuel to a fire we cannot trust our government, one lies and the other one swears to it. I will not damn our country ,but I will continue to pray for a great awakening! The bottom line is God rules my life in Him do I trust, no man could do what Yeshua can !!! Keep praying not only for this nation and Israel but for all nations to awaken to God’s truth !!! God Bless
I understand your sentiments, your anger, disappointments, and sorrow. Yet, for all of this
when I see the blessing of our wonderful nation, the only real friend Israel has today, …
I feel divided as well. I want to love my country and my flag and appreciate the gifts and
sacrifices of our forefathers to bring forth a new nation, .. UNDER G-D.
Yet, we have all become captive by unscrupulous lustful powerful elites who have an agenda at work which manipulates events of all nations and which plans wars and devises scheme upon scheme.
The national anthem is so beautiful, G-d bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her with the light that shines from above. From the mountain to the prairie to the ocean white with foam! G-d bless American, my home sweet home.
Such pure and loving words to sing and embrace in one’s heart…. Our nation is under siege from within!
Yeshua asked if he would find faith on the earth when He returns. I say, Yes! Let us be ready to greet Him and bow the knee in thanksgiving for the return of the Ruler of Rulers!
Amen! I love it, you are a very strong woman. We need more people to speak up like this. We have our American rights, let’s not let them take our RIGHT’S away! God bless you
Thank you Janna! You speak from your heart and
you speak the truth.
Thank you for sharing. Your story and path in life is one to be respected for sure. You and your family have added to the strength of this great country. It sounds like the Lord has been guiding and directing your steps for quite a while. Thank God! May I ask you though, what severe mistakes is Trump making? No need for great detail, I can search myself if you give me a general idea of the problems.
My sister Jana, you are so very accurate. Many who seem to say one thing, but do another. Wolves in sheep”s clothing. I find many would rather hear the “ear tickling items” as opposed to the truth. I am no longer blinded and have asked God to reveal to me things to come and to make others aware of. God is good and has given me discernment concerning good and evil-Praise Him! I have tried to share many things with people and I tend to get “the deer in headlights” look. However, if even one hears the truth-Praise God! Thank you for all your continued efforts and DO know that you are reaching many! I am one of those! God bless and keep you and your husband Steven safe as he guards you both from the evil ones.

As the saying goes, “You won’t miss something until you lose it?” Unfortunately, the majority of Americans have never tasted true communism such as yourself, and do not understand how precious “freedom” is. The enemy has been working overtime for a long time in order to bring into submission, the whole world, under one authority. It’s so sad to witness such things, but I always have to remind myself that this world is not my home and the rulers of this world are corrupt and full of poison. Your testimony is one that needs to be heard in America, but may fall on deaf ears at this point.
Well said AMEN.
The real problem is that the average American has no idea who father is. They have thrown him on the dung pile. He now says that’s where America will be. As you well know biggest religion in the states is catholic, problem with that is that Catholism and religion is the synagogue of Satan. It’s all a deception. Father is the truth there is no truth in religion.
Hey I just saw your mssg on you tube that u can’t talk about certant American issues,I’m loging in livestream now,
I cannot bring up your live stream! Google is obviously not allowing it?
I continue to lift you all up in prayer , and for your complete healing, Jana.
God bless you and thank you again for all you do
In Jesus name,
your Sister in Christ,
Maggie
we are working on these issues
Hope you get this fixed. I cannot log into live stream either.
I would not take sides with Russia if I was you.
If you are mislead an mislead others in hating the wrong people God holds us responsible.
Also Russia don’t seem trustworthy in the Bible either
My whole issue with Syria is common sense for me.
Rebels had the hold on that city, so you telling me, I should believe they killed their own wife’s, kids etc to make Assad look bad.
This man will be judged by Jesus for the many lives he has killed. Because he is selfish an wants to be a king.
Seems to me God doesn’t agree with Syria at all if Isaiah 17 is happening.
I would pray about things, I have pretty good idea what happened. I have been searching .. Iran made the weapons, thats why Israel did what it did. Iran is working with Assad not the rebels.
The holocaust is happeneing again in Syria an we Christians are taking up for these sick people.
Something isnt right. Things don’t line up to me
What I know is Trump, Mattis has defeated isis a good bit.. So to tell me Trump is playing with me is not somthing I will believe.
Truth is Obama, Putin did not do anything to isis the last 3 years, Mattis took out isis..
So I am to believe no Russians or syria army was killed but rebels was.. But The Russians was innocent an Assad?
Don’t be decieved in the last days. Think through what happened.. Judge by the facts..
Germany made the agent in the weapon, ok Germany Says Iran bought that stuff. Well iran isnt working with rebels, the ones who died.. But with Assad the ones who didn’t die.
Now you might think I am looking at this wrong, but facts don’t support rebels killing theirself.
Christians needs to pray, I will not trust any of these people. As a Christian genocide isn’t something I support. Syria don’t want Assad, he wants power an will do whatever for it. We shouldn’t take up for him..
I am sorry, rebels didn’t kill their self an kids..
I don’t know who these rebels are or what they stanf for so I am not taking up for them. But evidence, facts need to be weighed.
Also I know Russian an Syria Army was killed when they attch U.S an kurds last month.
So I am to believe rebels killed their self. Yea I don’t.
I am asking you to look closely at the facts, why assad benefits simple.
He wants to the city, rebels had. I will send on chemical weapon an all will flee. Excatly what happened.
I am praying brothers & sister s wake up. We have Christians in syria who need our help. This isnt helping .. Letting Assad an Russia have a free pass and Iran.
I really don’t trust Iran ok..
oh Jana…

I agree 100% with what you have written here and the sad thing is that there is a great division here in America created by the politicians ( I don’t call them leaders for they are not ) that are nothing but “blood sucking vampires” and minions of the adversary. I too come from another country ravaged by despotism because the people were fooled into believing that government knows best…yeah right!! In my quest for seeking the truth about many issues, I came across a website that led me to the reality of the fraud & great deception that not only the Americans have endured, but also the other nations and peoples of the world. Have you heard of Judge Anna, http://www.annavonreitz.com , there is plenty to read and take in and although I may not agree 100% on certain topics, the research & homework have been laid out by many whom have collaborated with her work. Please check it out and see what ails America & the rest of the world, it is pretty close to what Steven touched on in his video on live-stream. As the scriptures teach us that we truly are in a spiritual battle. Anyways, may The Creator, YHVH bless you, strenghthen you & protect you, shalom my friends.
PS- your natural rights cannot be taken, only given up by those willing to become slaves. I will stand and fight for what is right.
Thank you so very much!! Yes I to feel the same about TRUMP however I didn’t at first, I started seeing the changes in our government probably 10 year’s ago, it’s only getting worse. Our LORD AND SAVIOR YESHUA is the only TRUTH I put no FAITH in any man! Praying for you and your family always I was lead to your channel from OUR LORD AND SAVIOR YESHUA!!
Very well said dear!!?
Enjoyed this. Yes many Americans do not realize what they have. Sad state of affairs.
I pray for our Nation regularly. That God will have mercy on us. Abortion, Gay marriages, Sex trafficking etc etc. We deserve judgement because the Nation is unrepentant but I beg for mercy.
The problem is 80% of people don’t vote. The average American doesn’t feel they have the power to make a change in our corporate ran government. The representatives (Congress) have a notoriety of being bought and paid for by lobbyists interests over American family’s.
i agree not enough people vote. but even if they did if your heart is corrupt of the world what’s that vote worth
Thanks for sharing the truth, keep doing it no matter what!! I believe Trump is being leveraged by the left-wingers and is trying to keep everything from turning into a riot, also trying to keep a balance of peace with the Deep state. The truth wins!! Trump disentangle yourself from all Shady stuff, Vatican included, go forth in the name of Jesus and declare what’s what & God’s people will back you up!!! Remember even if no human being backs you up- with God you are a majority, He always wins!!
Mrs Bennun,
Just want to say that your testimony was the inspiring. God has blessed the work that you and Steve continue to put out. Keep that same zeal to state the truth as your zeal at arriving in America and becoming an American.. Press forward in both your endeavors, no matter the resistance you face.
The gifts that God pours through you and Steve are a blessing to many. Keep up the good work and remember our King Yashewa has already won!
Many thanks Jason
Thank you for sharing your story. People do NOT want to wake up, I try to warn them and I get mocked. Even my own family members do NOT believe, they tell me it is all conspiracy. Bless you and your husband for the great work that you do. Love in Yahshua’s Name, Amen!
Yes I get the same responses. It is our duty to warn them and let them know we are responsible for our actions, as a nation.
I’m pretty sure YESHUA felt the same way, he said those that have ears listen, those that have eyes, can see. Unfortunately there are so many to wake up but we will have to keep doing our part and help and pray for all that we can to awaken. YESHUA she’d tears knowing and I do too. Plant as many seeds now while we can do it before it’s too late. May God bless everyone and may the Spirit take the scales off.the eyes of those asleep.
Isabel Perez, I am just now seeing your response to Jana last month. I can tell you that I continue to experience the exact same response from family and friends. Out of EVERYONE I personally know, I have Only ONE Girlfriend who is on the same page as us. She, too, has these exact same problems with her circle of family and friends!!
We just all stick together and encourage each other as we also pray and still attempt to warn of the things coming upon our Evil, Unrepentant nation. God’s Blessings on you.
Thank you. I see with Trump that he is compromised and not knowledgeable about the Constitution. His son thinks it “reasonable” for young men who fight and protect America to be stripped of their Second Amendment Right. There is no real thinking going on with the Trump Administration. The Constitution is never mentioned. President Trump needs to read his Bible, like Lincoln did, first thing in the morning. Then, read the Constitution and the Federalist Papers to get a sense of his real duties. Trump has no Constitutional mentor. The colleges don’t teach the original meaning of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Socialism is the perspective we get. Socialism kills Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness or Property.
Your background in Russia allowed you to see that Americans are not awake. They sleep, the sleep of 100 years of cultural Marxism slowly eating away at the fabric of our Christian Republic.
Russians, because of Christian evangelical preaching, at the fall of the Soviet Union, are talking about “righteousness.” Americans are running away from God’s righteousness as fast as they can.
I enjoyed your testimony. I am happy to see that you were attracted to the Spirit of Christ in the American founding which can still be seen in its people. But, most are not awakened to the slow creep of communist thought in our culture. Please, How can we be Awakened!. All advice is needed in your articles and talks. Thank you,
Jana, first, I pray that you are doing much better health wise. Second, you are very correct about US people not seeing the Freedoms being lost daily. Many choose to sleep and ignore what has been going on for a long time. They don’t want to know what is really happening. God and his Bride knows what is coming soon. Thank you much!
Great article and I completely agree! It saddens me so much. Americans are considered the rebels and independents of the world…yet we havent stood up to our government. Too much brain washing propaganda here….Amerika is the new Russia (and vice versa it appears)
Thank you and God bless you! I totally agree with you. People need to wake up, before we lose everything we hold dear!
I agree with you. It’s so scary how brainwashed Americans are now. The Lord told me a few years ago that many are under a strong delusion because they are living in sin and He said most of the church is too. I have had many dreams and visions from the Lord about the future of America and it is scary what is coming, but the Lord told me that after the destruction will come Revival. The dream that I had about Revival was so incredible I didn’t want to wake up and when I did wake up I was so high in the Holy Spirit. It was so awesome and beautiful. God bless you and your husband and your ministry. Thank you for speaking the truth and I pray God protects and blesses you in every way.
I pray that revival does come to this nation !!! Only a select group of people are willing to hear the truth !!!

“Babylon” is called the “Mother of harlots”.
There a town named Babylon located in Suffolk County in New York City.
The layout of NYC is almost identical to that of the ancient city of Babel, or Babylon.
The layout of ROME is almost identical to that of the ancient city of Babylon too.
The U.S. Marines setup Camp Babylon to protect the ancient ruins of Babylon when they invaded Iraq.
https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/camp-babylon.htm
You awake yet?
I was born in West Babylon, NY, the one you speak of. There is a lot of the occult around here. It’s beneath the surface though, you have to know how to see it. They hide in plain sight. You will find mountains and lakes named after the devil and the spirits all over this country, if you look around. I have, and It’s disconcerting, you just have to fix the eyes of your heart on The Lord.
Love the shows and I was so relieved at your statement saying that you are neither pre trib,post trib or mid trib .It puts you in a box where you will not be criticised.That truly is wisdom when you’re on the internet where you are always exposed to mocking.
I come from a small Island Called Norfolk Island and it is very naive,but you are mocked and laughed at if you express your Faith In Christ Jesus.They won’t except that you are changed through a relationship with Jesus.People need to wake up as I never thought I would see the day where kids can make a decision to be transgender at 8 years old ,gay marriages are the norm,violent swearing on tv and tv shows being porn .We really are in the days of Noah.You and your family are in my prayer book which I pray over daily.
Love your Sister in Christ.

There are many who think that America was established as a “Christian” nation. Utter bullpoop! Any OBJECTIVE investigation proves otherwise! George Washington even stated that the government of the United States of America is in no sense founded upon the Christian Religion! The government of the U.S.A. was setup by men who sought to create their own future, who sought to be independent from the original commandments of the LORD God and the original doctrine of Christ which supported those commandments.
A young man came up to Jesus and asked him, “Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?”
Jesus replied, “Why do you ask me what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.”
American’s do not “…keep the commandments…”, period!
Jana, thank you for migrating the right way, legally. My late father served in the military so people like you could have the opportunity to come to America. He was proud to have served this country. Not the politicians so much.
He use to tell me that Americans are asleep at the wheel. He was right. I am glad he isn’t here anymore to see the insanity we are going into.
Sister Jana, I believe your work and your husband’s work is crucial for those who don’t know the truth, Christ of what is happening in our world according to biblical prophesy, those who wish to accelerate it, but more importantly to shine a light on the Truth of what the intentions are world that sometimes try to suppress the Truth. I also believe there has been a great awakening and you and your husband have been a big part of that for the U.S.
From your work and doing my own research the Vatican, under the pope is trying to manipulate and accelerate prophecy by it’s influence on countries all over the world to try and usher in the anti-Christ system. I know your message is true and is what Christ would want us to do is peacefully fight for the Truth and those who may not have the strength to fight for themselves.
I also believe in the power of prayer and of the holy spirit that can and has help change things all over the world. I have seen the power of God in my own life, in many miracles and answered prayers. I believe If we continue to pray and seek and do what is pleasing to Christ, to God then we can continue to slow prophesy way down and help build his Kingdom. I believe our prayers are having a huge impact all over the world, especially for children who are being trafficked, abused or neglected.
As another commenter mentioned, I believe America needs to come back to God and try and keep his commandments. If we continue to seek Christ, obey his commandments, pray, repent, and ask for the holy spirit to dwell in us and share with others our own testimonies of the power of God and how he can change lives through Christ then we will truly have a new revival, a great final harvest of souls in these last days. I believe we are heading in that direction.
I believe God does great things through his children and he has and continues to do great things through you and Brother Steven..
God Bless you Sister Jana and Keep You, Brother Steven, and your Family.
I Thank Jesus Christ for showing me the way and I pray that through my testimony that it may bring souls to Jesus Christ. In Jesus name I pray.
All Glory goes to God.
Robert Devitt says ” God bless America? God D*M% AMERICA!!!” You certainly are not of a Christian or Christ Loving heart. In your remark you have asked the Lord to Damn 320 million people? Why? Because your upset with the way your life or that of the Government has performed in the US? They are mere flesh, men and women just as you and I are. How dare any one of us ask such a hateful judgement on so many when you are speaking about so few! I am a Veteran, I am seeking the Lord with all my heart and even I know that what you have said and asked for is EVIL, HATEFUL and CERTAINLY DOES NOT represent Christ! He said he came to heal the sick because the healthy did not need a doctor. I now see why I have so much distrust in so many that call themselves believers as your remarks clearly show whom you truly are, for that I am sorry and yes I will pray for you as one of the sick. FOR THE RECORD we all should be on our knees praying to the Lord! Because so many have been deceived, lied to they will perish! Sit back and think of what that means, it means eternal damnation in the lake of fire! I would not wish that ON ANYONE NOW OR IN HISTORY! So Robert Devitt, consider what you just asked for, then ask yourself if Christ would want any of his creation to be separated from him to burn for eternity. How very sad. I have enough of my own issues in my heart but I will be kind and always ask what would Christ do before I remark such as your just have. Let ANYONE OF US WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE, news flash, I will be in the back of that line hiding my face. May God Bless you and keep you always and his son Christ bring peace, grace and compassion to your heart always.
The scary part is that the United States is the only nation that chose to spend billions of dollars to build Fema camps. The fact that the US is the only nation that has a dominant Christian populous makes me think that they were built to intern believers. They are definitely detention camps, their barbed wire faces in. And Obama had us labeled as terrorists in some legal documents. I would leave if I could. It might be The Lord’s heart that I stay.
Congrats on your conviction and payoff, Jana! Your decision to leave meant grass was greener on the other side. Your decision to stay meant you were correct. Fast track to Trump. Progressivism has swung, and swung hard and fast. Many of us don’t like that, and want the pendulum to reverse back to a more Biblical version of America. This nation was founded on Christianity (dominant religion) and English (dominant language). Neither were established in the Constitution. This left this nation wide open to the will of the people. Bad choice, should be regretful. Man will always fail without God. Trump is not the voice of Christians, or any Godly representation. He is simply someone who we (can’t speak for everyone) hope curbs the progressive swing back from the infinite direction of pagan debauchery. Trump himself is not a good guy, but the alternative was infinitely worse! He IS someone who will give great effort to stop this runaway train. As an American, I do give him props, and do support his efforts. Unfortunately I don’t see much hope in this country. This is our last breath effort to not only survive, but to wake up. MAGA
Thank you BenNoon family for your commitment! I continuously pray for your safety and all truth be revealed. God Bless and Psalm 91 over you and your family
As a taxpaying American, I agree with the assessment.
The nagging question of course goes something like “whatcha gunna do about it!”
Armed resistance is futile … one drone circling at 35,000 feet can quickly and silently wipe out any “lunatic patriot stand up to the tyrannical government” action.
We can vote for another Trumpster who promises to drain the swamp by putting back all the people in power who made the swamp “the swamp.”
We can write to our “congressman” which may be good for a few laughs to the summer interns who might be charged with opening the letters and send back a canned response.
So, the harsh reality is … as Americans … well … actually citizens of “Mystery Babylon” (is there any doubt that America is mystery Babylon?) … there is really nothing as a practical matter that we can do about it.
Maybe it’s better to stay asleep. Even if everyone “woke up” the only thing that Americans would do is to keep everyone in check … just like your home church back in Russia.
Make your own peace with God then … because in the end … that is really all you got.
Hi Jana, I understand what you are saying! I grew up here, smack dab in the middle of this beautiful country, in wholesome southwest Kansas. The United States I live in today is NOT the country in which I grew up! While I was growing up (I am 43), we had REAL journalists in print and TV media, and news persons actually held to a standard of trying to remain neutral in their reporting. AND, some journalists even INVESTIGATED and CALLED OUT politicians and authoriries when they were misbehaving, and made the people aware of it! Today, no news reporter (mainstream) would dream of doing that, because 1) they are bought and owned by the politicians/corporations that own the news media, and 2) even if there did happen to be an honest journalist, he or she would not report on these things for the very real fear of very real retribution from the monsters they work for.
I think that the fall of real journalism, the loss of our free press, has been one of the biggest contributions to the sad state our US society is in today.
We have all been lulled to sleep and led down the paths of apathy, selfishness, and pure laziness. And, I think a lot of people think, “What good can I do? I’m only one person. I won’t make a difference.” And sadly, this is true. The corporations that own us have taken so much power over us.
They took that power from us under the radar at first, with that straight from the pit of hell Patriot Act after 9/11. But since then, we’ve learned what they do in secret without our authorization, and we sit back and do nothing.
We should be outraged as a nation and stand up and scream at these criminals together; but we don’t because we have let them divide us amongst ourselves. So we scream at one another over crooked and criminal politicians whom we support, as if our minds are not our own anymore! It makes NO SENSE.
I’m sorry that America is not what you thought it was- truly I am, because America is not what it used to be. Today I do not even recognize the country in which I live. It is not the one of my youth. And if we don’t all stop fighting and stop letting the ceiminals manipulate us, we very soon will not even have the little freedoms left that they haven’t already stripped of us.
You set up the story to tell us you see something we don’t then all you say is”Trump is making big mistakes” implying he is similar to a European communist dictator. Sounds like a lame CNN hit piece on Trump. What are your arguments and why didn’t you write the article 9 years ago when the socialist came to power?
Moderation you mean censorship
There is no freedom or liberty unless we are in Jesus, there and only there one will find true love.
The Soviet socialist system was a devilish system, but so are all other countries, their is none I know because I lived and worked in several countries including the US.
Their is good and bad people everywhere, I was robbed legally by the UK authorities, yet in Morocco Islamic strangers toke me home and give a place to sleep and put food on the table for me. Today I live in the outback of a little European country and most of my friends are Gypsies.
Remember we are just passing through this world, and our lives are like vapor here today and gone tomorrow,
The world has a Prince that rules it for a short while longer but to the King of Kings the world belongs.
America has it’s days counted but also does Europe and the rest including Israel,
Soon the sun will stop shinning so will the moon and the starts, and out of the thick darkness the True Light of the world will shine from the east to the west, and every knee will bow and every tong will confess that Jesus is Lord of all.
Blah blah blah blah blah. You guys sound like a nest of vipers spewing hatred and a lack of faith. How in the world did Trump even get into the White House! The people of America got on their knees and prayed, lifted up holy hands without doubt or hatred and sought the face of God to intervene in the course of America. We prayed that America would become great again. Great again as a bastion of the Good New of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And He heard our cry and answered our prayers. That’s right! He heard our cry and answered our prayers. Prayers! We repented of our sins as a church and called upon God to intervene. God says that if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and call upon me, I will hear them and and answer their prayers. Do you not see how there is a move upon the land to call us back to our original purpose?! Get rid of your anger and hatred, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God and see Him do the miraculous even in the midst of what you call Mystery Babylon. God is alive in America and there is a RENEWAL happening even in your sight – but you won’t see because of your religious attitude and lack of faith. Get right with God and watch the Mighty Hand of God move over all of America.
Well put… I agree stop being pew dusters .ass ne complainers shows lack in faith..
Hi
I would like to thank you for your biblical references and your coverage of the news.
I am a Greek Orhodox.
I really admire the fact that you share your opinions and the truth without fear.
Thank you
Hello Jana, I appreciate your comments, as Christians we are equally fearful here in Canada. Much of the same evil is prevalent here also. However, sadly maybe the scripture does say, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, 2 Thessalonians 2:3”
This tells me that all this must happen before the Lord can come again. In one way not encouraging, however, be encouraged that our Father in Heaven has this all in hand.
This also does not mean that we should not fight against evil but to resist the devil every where we can.
Blessings,
DG
Jana:
We are not free.
It is a deception.
Free to ….
-cooperate with the pharmaceuticals and call ourselves noble because we are practicing nursing/medicine.
-cooperate with the torture of animals in the multitudinous ways this is manifest in our daily consumption of goods, foods etc.
-cooperate with the exploitation of others and call ourselves noble because it’s not in our backyard.
-run place to place in a gas powered vehicle no matter how many lives it costs and call ourselves noble because, today, in our need for convenience, we didn’t have the misfortune of killing someone with our vehicle.
I am trying, in very brief words of very broad topics, to make a point.
In the US Constitution, people try to govern themselves. The people do not honour Our LORD as King and therefore are not “under God.” Deception.
So, whether we are in a county that allows the governance “by the people”, or demands obedience to a dictatorial regime, there is no difference.
We are not free until Our Lord is honoured as King.
I may be wrong, but I have tried very hard to do the right thing, make the right choices…..and all I eventually learn is that I have been, again, participating with the evil.
Personal examples: nursing, meat eating, clothing made from animals, gas powered vehicles, child labour, pharmaceuticals, etc.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape cooperation. Of the short list above, I have forsaken all but one of them (gas powered vehicles) – and at at a great cost. If I can eventually find it in me to forsake the last one, I think I will find another list just the same.
Thank you for the opportunity to express this point.
Purchase pocket Constitutions and pass them out to family and friends and discuss!
Read the original constitutions of the several states, learn, and share what you learn!

President Trump is an American Patriot!!! He loves my country and it’s people. You, being a citizen, can now run for President!!! Maybe you are butt-hurt about Obama, who delivered $400,000,000 in untraceable currency to the clerics in Iran, without constitutional congressional oversight, for the Iranian Nuke Deal…
Trump is a SUPREME BEING next to Obama the traitorous nincompoop.
I like Trump better than Obama but you must realize he is still on the Deep State strings
Oh, goodness, I am so distressed by how Americans are so very deceived. Don’t you know that Trump is part of the elites PLAN? Don’t you know that Trump is a free mason and worships Lucifer? His own building, Trump Tower, is a Luciferian temple! Notice the black obelisks the building is made of ….. notice the PYRAMID of trees, with SIX on each side in front of his building…… notice further that his personal apartment in Trump Tower is not only on the 66th floor, but also has a huge mural of APOLLO, the Sun god that he worships, sprawled all over the ceiling…….. WAKE UP AMERICA! They (the politicians), are all in it together! There is no REAL struggle between ‘left’ and ‘right’……….it’s all just a big distraction to divide America!! Please! Yes, pray, pray, pray that God’s will be done, and also, PRAY FOR SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT! Read your bible and also RESEARCH to find the TRUTH about our leaders instead of just believing everything they say! We will know TRUE Christians by their ‘fruits’ – does Trump’s behavior – mocking others, disrespect for women, etc – bear GOOD fruits?? OPEN YOUR EYES instead of seeing what you want to see – I know it is difficult, but Satan is trying so hard to keep everyone from seeing the truth. There are multiple Christian you tubers who present the truth about Trump and politics in America in general. Brother James Key has several good videos, for a start. Please, please research and pray for discernment so you won’t be deceived. God bless us, one and all.
i know full well who he really is
Dear Jana
Your words inspired and encouraged me. I remember when the USA was God honoring. We will continue to lose our freedoms and will go into captivity unless we as a people repent before a Holy God. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ longs to see us repent and turn from our wicked ways. Storms come, volcanoes explode, the Earth opens up and no one seems to realize that God, our Heavenly Father is speaking, crying out to us to repent. So many watchman have warned this Nation of the judgments that are coming. Jeremiah warned Israel and Judah back when. Today the prophet Jeremiah is warning America.
God bless you Jana and your husband Steven.
Our freedoms are God-given and no one can take them away, The United States of America led by God and His people. It is a privilege to see prophecy be realised through Isreal. It is good to see God’s will being done. Although Isreal and America have much to endure, God’s will is true. Communists will always try to take that which God has given. Once God-given, no man can take away.
Is Steven DeNoon the person who narrator of LIVE Israeli News Live?..or who is he? Well anyway he said he knows who the Anti Christ is by Dan. 11… But the Pope is the FALSE PROPHET ..NOT the anti Christ..his discription as I heard him speak, was the anti Christ , but that is either a leader like one of our presidents or a leader of another nation..BUT the Pope Francis would be a black Pope… False Propehet …ever since Charlemagne…there has always been both anti Christ and a false prophet …please understand….so the people won’t be deceived…
To keep ones freedom starts with grassroots, in each community and town and state. Never look down on small beginnings. This is how a lot of things get accomplished. I believe in the word but also I believe that God put it in our hands to help change things not only with prayer but by faith(our actions). If we would just start to ask the questions from our leaders, spiritual and secular. has impact. I don’t want to face Messiah one day and say, “I didn’t respond when our freedoms were taken away because the word said these things would happen.
Jana, this is a single scripture passage that echoes precisely what you are saying. There are some individuals in this country and as well, in this world that are doing what they can and doing what they are able as they who read this scripture are commissioned to act upon it, prayerfully seeking guidance from The Lord to know His will for them in fighting for freedom. By small and simple things great things shall come to pass. This country has become a nation of wickedness. The Lord will destroy the wicked. Let us put our lives in order and seek The Lord’s will for each of us.
24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
I understand how religion plays an incredible importance in so many lives… but humanity is comprised of a consciousness that is universal… all life is connected… ascension is key for all to have true understanding… the people, the government, when it comes down to it… are all governed and controlled by an elite group of people… A breakaway civilization that has unlimited power, unlimited resources, technological advancements we can only imagine. All our true history is hidden… the earth suffers needlessly… we suffer needlessly… we are programmed what to think… always being redirected… the trillions of dollars we are in debt for, how is it we don’t hold any one accountable… it’s part of the cabals empire building blocks…911 was our country’s own doing..globalist agenda… intentional to rally support to deflect and redirect new legislature… just samples… but keeping us ranting and raving over the petty… we can’t see the big picture… deconstructing any and all freedoms… agenda 21… eventual separation of large communities… depopulation…. all steps forward are them against us… to weaken us… to suppress us… to insure the elite stay in complete power before we have chance to awaken
:Obedience and Consequence:
There is this idea going around, that I’m sure you’re all aware of. A few actually, pertaining to righteousness and law. On one hand, you have the Legalists, who would claim that they are closer to the Lord by their keeping of the Law. Likewise, there are those who say, “We are covered by the blood, beneficial or not, all is permissible, leave me alone!” Beloved, this isn’t a new form of theology, in fact, those who feel exempt from what is good because of grace, were the very driving factor behind John Calvin and his theology. While I do believe Calvin’s teachings were the polar opposite, maybe even intentionally so, we can read in scriptures that for ages there have been people that believe Gods grace grants them extra rights.
‘But don’t be fooled by those who promise you safety simply because the Lord ’s Temple is here. They chant, “The Lord ’s Temple is here! The Lord ’s Temple is here!” But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice;’ [Jeremiah 7:4-5]
Many times, do we see the Lord speak to Israel in a “Cause & Effect,” sort of manner? Repeatedly, the Lord tells them that if they do certain things, he will give the nation a long and rich life, but if they choose to disobey, then there will be grave consequences. An example of this is found in Jeremiah 17:25-26, where the Lord says, 25 ‘then kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates forever. There will always be a descendant of David sitting on the throne here in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will always ride in and out among the people of Judah in chariots and on horses, and this city will remain forever.’ 26 ‘And from all around Jerusalem, from the towns of Judah and Benjamin, from the western foothills and the hill country and the Negev, the people will come with their burnt offerings and sacrifices. They will bring their grain offerings, frankincense, and thanksgiving offerings to the Lord ’s Temple.”
But as I mentioned, the Lord would not only tell them of what good he will do for them if they obey him, but He would also warn them of the consequences of disobedience, like he does here in the very next verse. 27“But if you do not listen to me and refuse to keep the Sabbath holy, and if on the Sabbath day you bring loads of merchandise through the gates of Jerusalem just as on other days, then I will set fire to these gates. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out the roaring flames.” [Jeremiah 17:27]
Beloved, it isn’t even about the law, it’s about Loving one another, but rather the arguments that spring up, feed an all consuming fire that turns outsiders away from the Church. We know we don’t want Islam in our government, because all you have to do is look at the Middle-East, and you’ll see clear as day that they don’t even get along with each other? This is what the Non-believers see, people who wield the sword of the spirit against each other. Satan has taken the eighties weapon against him, and gotten us to turn it on each other. Many people in the church would defend worldliness, they are just like the Jews who fell in love with Babylonian culture, and like them, we will be handed over to our enemies if we continue down this path.
“Don’t be fooled into thinking that you will never suffer because the Temple is here. It’s a lie!” [Jeremiah 7:8]
Yes, I tell you that unless this church can recalibrate, and bring our attention back to Justice and Compassion, that we too will go into exile to Babylonia. We are not exempt because we are Americans, Judah was once the leading Nation just as the United States is today, and because God has blessed this nation so richly, a generation has risen up who is demanding, entitled, and they despise what isn’t beneficial to them in the moment. What waits for a country that bends away from Justice? Whose leaders anger the Lord behind closed doors, but appear as doves before a crowd?
‘Jerusalem, once so full of people, is now deserted. She who was once great among the nations now sits alone like a widow. Once the queen of all the earth, she is now a slave. She sobs through the night; tears stream down her cheeks. Among all her lovers, there is no one left to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her and become her enemies.’ [Lamentations 1:1-2]. One of the hardest things is to see us make the same mistake the Jews made, they began to believe they were exempt, repeatedly, God spoke with them about their idolatry and their compromise with pagan cultures, which we see in Jeremiah 7:13 when the scripture says, “While you were doing these wicked things, says the Lord, I spoke to you about it repeatedly, but you would not listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer.”
“Her oppressors have become her masters, and her enemies prosper, for the Lord has punished Jerusalem for her many sins. Her children have been captured and taken away to distant lands. All the majesty of beautiful Jerusalem has been stripped away. Her princes are like starving deer searching for pasture. They are too weak to run from the pursuing enemy.” [Lamentations 1:5-6] America has a “Back to Back World War Champions!” Attitude. Boastful and forgetful that it was God who blessed this nation, but shortly after the luxury of power set in, we turned to the idol worship of those on television, sports, beer, music and entertainment has filled our minds. The changes in culture and keeping up with them fill the forefront of our consciousness. You need the best clothes, you need the newest cars, Men search for jezebel instead of a wife, the women decorate themselves and maneuver their way into the beds of those they can extract riches from.
‘She defiled herself with immorality and gave no thought to her future. Now she lies in the gutter with no one to lift her out. “Lord, see my misery,” she cries. “The enemy has triumphed.”’ [Lamentations 1:9]
And lest our hearts turn back towards Justice, Compassion, and truth, our enemies too shall triumph. Lest our leaders and medias cease to thrive off deception, we will fall. For we cannot blame the media for feeding you the lies you hold dear, you choose for them to thrive by turning from what is good and preferring the lies that tickle their ears. Though our televisions you have glorified blood and violence, along with sexual immorality. Again! You cannot blame the immorality on them, for it was you who chose to consume it. We still have a chance to stand up as a country and say, “Enough of this Godlessness! Enough of the pagan integration!” Pagans have always thrived off immorality of all kinds, yet you have chosen to be influenced by them.
Let us not be surprised if the Lords anger purges us. Believing in exemption through favoritism is a stubbornness the Jews demonstrated repeatedly. They too, began to lack justice and compassion for one another. Because they did so, they were sent into captivity multiple times. The Lord chastens his people, because he Loves them, and does not want us practicing distaste for one another and for his Laws, set in stone to protect us from our own wicked desires.
Now, due to my critique, I get a lot of people who think I’m “Anti-Church,” and although I’ve never denied Yeshua came in the flesh, for pointing out such flaws I have been labeled “AntiChrist,” as well. Of course, these things don’t bother me, what bothers me is that people don’t know the biblical definition of “Antichrist,” found in 1 John 4:2-3. Paul was accused of being a cult leader, the charge Jesus was crucified for was blasphemy, even Jeremiah himself said, ‘People scoff at me and say, “What is this ‘message from the Lord’ you talk about? Why don’t your predictions come true?”’ in Jeremiah 17:15, and that was about the Jews! How much more applicable is it to the protestant church? That amongst us are those who do not take the word of God seriously, redefining terms such as “Antichrist,” just to hurl at anyone who they disagree with.
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” [Jeremiah 17:9-10]
Beloved, there is hope of opportunity, until the tipping point, the Lord does not seal a nations fate. Nineveh was told to repent, Nebuchadnezzar’s sanity was taken from him, the Israelites were sent into Babylonian exile. Beloved, terrible things happen when the Lord has to shake us awake, and force our attention to him. The degree which he uses is Just in bringing justice to a Nations sins. We do not have to continue on in a manner where the Sword of the Spirit is only used against each other. We have a weapon against darkness, and many believers would rather turn that sword on each other, to protect their love of the world. They are enemies of God, and if we continue to allow them to contaminate our behavior and doctrines, then the Lord will do as he sees fit to redirect our attention back to him. Do not become insensitive and hostile like them, they claim to serve a God of Mercy, but they are people of inappropriate hostility and callousness. They dress as lambs but prowl like lions seeking whom they may devour. These are not Christ followers, they are legalistic zealots, and if we are to become like them, then hear these words: It will be suffering that causes us to turn back to compassion. Hear those words.
“Does it mean nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see if there is any suffering like mine, which the Lord brought on me when he erupted in fierce anger.” [Lamentations 1:12]
