Hell, Râshâ‛, And God’s People

Last updated on: January 28, 2024 at 9:57 am By Martin Thomas Johnson

So far this year, the United States has seen some pretty crazy weather. We have experienced extreme storms from the West Coast to the East Coast. Unusually high temperatures smothered the South this week. An acquaintance told me he felt like it was hot as Hell. Most people reference hell in times of high temperatures because they understand the basics about the characteristics of Hell. Extremely hot Dark Chaos I understand it sounds a lot like the world we live... Read more

This week the headlines have been about the presidential primary and who will be the GOP candidate. Interviews during the New Hampshire primary reveal that everyone is hoping their candidate will improve life for Americans. Despite Jesus assuring us that we will face trials in this life (John 16:33,) most people are more concerned about being rewarded, than what is good and right according to God. Many are calling for a civil war to ensure they get the results and... Read more

There is another controversy in the conservative-lead house over the once-praised speaker. A handful of MAGA extremists are holding Congress and the country hostage, while they demand their selfish and personal desires for funding the government. What is supposed to be a government by the people and for the people, not just a selfish personal or conservative agenda that has been corrupted by ungodly and un-American pursuits.

This week was a big test for conservatives and the nation. The Iowa caucus showed more than just who the party supports; it shows what people value the most. Exit polls reveal that a majority of the party still believes the last election was stolen, despite the lack of evidence and failed legal actions. The sad truth is most people won’t accept the truth if it isn’t what they like. Somewhere along the way, God’s people have forgotten the basics... Read more

This week has been a volatile week around the world. The conflict in the Middle East has escalated into a regional war. The Israeli-Hamas conflict has spread to every country where Jewish people have been welcomed. Greed and corruption have been spreading since the fall in the garden. The battle over the Promised Land isn’t just a physical war; it is a spiritual battle that touches every human on the planet and even the ground itself. Good versus evil heaven... Read more

Earlier this week there was an attempted launch of a lunar Lander to the moon. Actually, this year is the beginning of another space race as companies and countries look for ways to get away from Earth. For almost a century modern man has looked for ways to leave this planet. Whether many want to admit it or not, we all know this planet is cursed. Corruption Wars Weather extremes Natural disasters More recently there has been a renewed debate... Read more

Today, the big news was the political stunt pulled by the House GOP visiting our southern border. Ironically there were bomb threats also called into a dozen states that oppose the top GOP presidential candidate. The political climate in the United States has been a volatile for over a year. Politics has spilled into other public arenas and private businesses too. Recently college presidents stepped down because they failed to speak out against anti-Semitism and their respective schools.
