“Rosh Hashanah 2021 Day 2 Done But No Christian Rapture” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©09/08/2021

While I would’ve welcomed Jesus Christ showing up in the clouds between the 6th and 8th but that didn’t happen. It might happen any other day from now on since the first prophecy leading to the Rapture (Christian Evacuation) began the clock ticking down to the Great Tribulation. Some Christians believe the Rapture won’t be until midway through the Great Tribulation while others think at end of it. I still believe the Rapture will be BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. My main reason is that the anti-Christ can’t take full power over the nations until ALL Christians are removed to safety.

Unlike the present United States of America government, Jesus Christ will NOT leave ANY of HIS own behind! Christians and Messianic Jews will be changed then translated/transported to Heaven. Whether another dimension or even another planet, it will happen when it’s time to vacate Earth. Some who claim to be Christian believe neither will happen, but since every single prophecy over thousands of years in the Holy Bible HAVE happened, I don’t think I’d discount this part since OUR LIVES depend on it! I don’t want any person to be left here to endure the Hell on Earth that will happen.

I know I keep referencing the Marvel movie ENDGAME, but it truly represents how things will be here on Earth once millions to billions of people disappear from around the world. You think the Covid-19 pandemic made getting any goods tough? You need to read the Christian Holy Bible book of Revelation to find the judgements by God Almighty the Creator of the universe that will be with seals, trumpets, and woes to understand how awful it WILL BE after those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior through faith are supernaturally removed. The anti-Christ will then take power.

Do you wonder where America is in all of this? Hmm… don’t see a single mention of a country that could be seen as America in any of the prophecies. Now there is the mention of the 144,000 Jews who are fleeing from the anti-Christ and are taken to safety at one point by the ‘Wings of an eagle” that has been attributed by many preachers to be America, but the only other scripture that uses that same phrase is in the Old Testament and could NOT mean America since we hadn’t existed yet. America has been an ally to Israel often and recently, but NOT now with present policies.

America is tearing itself apart in 2021. Everything that I have learned for my 49 years of life is being dumbed down, lied about, and even demonized as being all of the ‘ists’, ‘isms’, or ‘ics’ that I actually despise. Yes, I’m a white Christian American woman, but I’m NOT racist, xenophobic, or misogynistic. Unfortunately, this America is no longer the America I’ve known. It isn’t that of my parents born in 1913 and 1931 or my sister born in 1950. With the turning over of Afghanistan like it was done, I also see WHY we are not mentioned; we seem to no longer be a world power.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again concerning this situation, “My father who fought in World War II would be madder than blazes over what is happening right now!” He did NOT fight and bleed for this country in World War II and defeat the Nazis to let our politicians destroy this Democratic-Republic now. His brother did NOT die in World War II for that to happen either! American soldiers never went into combat thinking about their service letting other countries take over ours. Our American people and their helpers are still stuck in Afghanistan. It’s no wonder America isn’t listed!

Do you think I’m happy about this? NO! America has always been THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE in my lifetime and way before I was even born, so this makes me ANGRY! Our country is BETTER than this! Well… we USED TO BE. That actually HURTS to type, but sometimes the TRUTH hurts in any medium. Yet we have former specialists who are BETTER, and I THANK YOU for all that you are doing now! My asking for the A-Team, Martin Riggs, and RED clones actually worked! Maybe God Almighty orchestrated that…

Yes, I do have a reason for pointing out all of this now that we haven’t left yet – WE NEED A CHRISTIAN REVIVAL! Remember? I typed that we needed a Rosh Hashanah Rapture or a Revival Rapture. The holiday is gone, we’re all still here, and yet I haven’t seen Revival begin! Yes, many churches are still locked down. Yes, many places require masks still. Yes, many people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. It’s September in Ohio, tree pollen is rough for me, and I don’t have a home church right now either. STILL… I would really like to find Revival soon.

I have song lyrics I wrote that I need to put to melody for the music. I have Eirinth Book 3 to continue to write. Christians should ALL and EACH have things they NEED to do to reach others now that we’ve been given more time to reach people for Jesus. If my throat didn’t feel so scratchy, if my head wasn’t hurting so much, and if I could finish this Op-Ed so I can post it where I post then I’d feel a bit better. Many have lost a loved one to Covid-19, so it’s hard to focus on being happy even if that loved one was also saved and went to be with Jesus before you. Revival still needs to BE.

With all that’s going on right now in America it’s easy to lose hope, get discouraged, and want to simply WAIT for Jesus to come. Even though we are told in the Holy Bible that we need to ‘occupy’ until Jesus returns to take us away, it’s hard to do more than sit down to think we’re occupying… occupying the church pew, occupying the couch, or even occupying the bed. We can sing sitting in the recliner with praise and worship music, but does that reach anyone else? It has been difficult with Covid-19 to do any in-person witnessing, book signings, singing, or church events, so now what?

I bought beautiful dress pants and dress shirts to wear for book signings and church appearances when my Eirinth Book 2, TREADING THE PATH came out in 2019, but then Covid-19 hit. I was upset through 2020 with not being able to do anything to get the word out about my book series to reach readers and wasn’t able to wear my clothes anywhere. I then lost my character artist I had worked with for the last 12 years for my novels when Covid-19 took her in May 2021. Loss can even cause Christians to question WHY they are doing anything. Don’t be weary in well-doing isn’t ever easy.

Giving to Christian and American groups to make a difference helps me to feel better since it helps those with a further reach than I have. Then again, I have people all over the world listening to my music, so I have been able to share about my faith, books, songs, and even Op-Eds that maybe one or more of those listening will be saved, encouraged, and even empowered no matter where they are right now. THAT is why I still do what I do. I try to live by my life’s pledge I adopted years ago, “I won’t give up, I won’t give out, and I won’t give in!” No Rosh Hashanah Rapture so REVIVAL!

What needs to happen is for ALL CHRISTIANS to follow the example of the Disciples of Christ when the Day of Pentecost happened, and once they accepted their callings they were unleashed with the Spirit-Given Gifts that they would need to SHOW this world back then exactly WHO HE IS. Jesus Christ in 2021 is asking this from US. The Christian Holy Bible tells us that we are each placed into the Body of Christ right where we can let the Spiritual Gifts given to us be used to the utmost for the Glory of God that can REACH souls so they find in Christ WHATEVER THEY NEED IN HIM.

It is knowledge kept from your understanding by the enemy – fallen mankind was given ONLY ONE way to be restored to the Creator of the universe instead of following His enemy that wants to keep you from Him so he can flaunt you as his victory. This is an ongoing war that began in the Garden of Eden and is in more than three dimensions. Yes, I write Fantasy stories, but Jesus Christ is NOT a fantasy, fallacy, or one of many gods. Jesus Christ is the mortal aspect of God Almighty born as a perfect human to die for imperfect mankind. HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH SO SEEK HIM!

“Is The America I’ve Known Completely Gone Now?” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/29/2021

Abandoning our embassy, intelligence, weapons, and citizens in Afghanistan is the greatest defeat this country has ever faced in my lifetime of almost forty-nine years. I’m sure that those still living who are even older than I am are feeling the same way I do – enraged from being deceived and betrayed by our leaders. Our people in Afghanistan are in the middle of being left due to the worst military plan in our history that could lead to another situation like 1979 with more hostages. THAT is detrimental with how many American citizens and Afghan allies will all lose their lives!

I was only seven years old in 1979, so I didn’t completely understand what was happening back then. As I grew up learning history and became an adult, I watched policy mistakes made by different presidents at various times, but this seems like an actual calculated blow to every single American who has had anyone from their family serve this county in the military in any capacity! How can Americans sit in our safe homes, watch the news reporting these atrocities, and not react with anger, frustration, heartbreak, and absolute horror? Have we ALL lost perspective of what Freedom costs?

The fact that our government is FAILING to get OUR PEOPLE out, but INDIVIDUALS and GROUPS are now working to rescue people in ways that are sometimes being BLOCKED by OUR OWN agencies! Do our agencies work for the Taliban now? While I understand diplomacy is always a slippery slope of concessions, the way I’ve understood it for all of my learned years, WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! Did our government officials miss day of class it was taught in a government college course? Or did the long-held policy just get lost in self-interest paperwork?

We NEED the A-Team! We NEED a team of LETHAL WEAPON Riggs’! We NEED a RED team who knows HOW to get IN, get OUR people, and get OUT with the attitude of a BLUE LOTUS! AMERICA WAS A COUNTRY OF ACTION FOR FREEDOM! Yes, the characters listed are fictional, but they were based on REALITY of what AMERICA USED to be able TO DO! I don’t want endless wars either and was for leaving Afghanistan, but THIS IS NOT how that SHOULD have been DONE! Do we need to cue the song, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” to get people moving?

My father would have been 108 this year, and if he was still living he’d be ticked as blazes over our service men and women even possibly being left behind without military making plans that actually made sense! He fought in WWII and lost his brother in it to a sniper, but it had NEVER been fought to end in this situation with Afghanistan now. Didn’t ANY of us LEARN from HISTORY? Oh, yeah, that’s right! Teachers don’t teach REAL HISTORY anymore. Most just teach approved indoctrination of NEVER thinking for your own self as an INDIVIDUAL! Yeah… that explains it all.

There are themes that I keep bringing up in my writing, and I apologize if I focus on certain ones too often, BUT some need to be repeated ad nauseam since more than one generation DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT THEM! Most Schools aren’t teaching them. Most people of any age aren’t reading books about them. News channels would rather tell their lies instead of even mentioning the TRUTH. If you don’t read on your OWN then you’ll NEVER know anything to explain WHY this evacuation from Afghanistan NEVER should have happened like it has. WE LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND!

I’m absolutely ASHAMED of what those in so-called charge are allowing to happen to OUR OWN! I agree with taking out all those that helped us for the last twenty years, but OUR PEOPLE SHOULD BE FIRST PRIORITY! I don’t have any kind of war degree, but come on! Even I have enough common sense to see what the actual events needed to be done before this idiocy had been allowed to happen: 1.) Destroy ALL paperwork so NO enemy gets any tactical date; 2.) Evacuate EVERY single AMERICAN; 3.) Destroy ALL armaments enemies could use; 4.) Withdraw OUR military!

IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! This is LOGIC. Apparently, NO ONE in power has that! God Almighty, help us, because those in power won’t help anyone but themselves. They are trying to overpower our Democracy to turn America into a socialistic country. WE CAN’T LET THEM! EVERY AMERICAN needs to stand up and SCREAM, “NO! This is NOT right!” FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE needs to not allow TYRANTS to take over! They are ALL trying to do THAT. How can you trust leadership willing to LEAVE OUR PEOPLE BEHIND? WE CAN’T! Help STOP it!

Some of our Patriots have taken their own steps to get OUR PEOPLE out. We might have even more doing it right now without public knowledge or even government involvement. I’m okay with that since the less that any of the powers that be know right now is a GOOD THING. We can’t trust most of the military big-wigs we’ve been seeing to actually DO anything since it’s become political theater. Clandestine operations like those portrayed in RED would probably BE the best solution, especially since they would not be in the pockets of politicians. GET THE PIG!

While I completely understand that movies are NOT what you base actual military strategies on, I still think that our veterans see themselves as embodying most of those personalities in real life. Current military for the most part must think they do too or they wouldn’t be doing their jobs right now. America leadership needs to get their proverbial heads out of their behinds and DO THEIR JOBS TOO! As a military daughter I REFUSE to accept leaving even 1 of our own people behind due to incompetence! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! Get them OUT… or ELSE.

What is ‘ELSE’? I hope it will be proper voting to express our viewpoints of how the Unites States of America needs to NOT be changed into the United Totalitarian States. Socialism or Communism isn’t acceptable EITHER. The ‘ELSE’ might come to actually physical force before we get the point across to the chaos-minded tyrants. I don’t want another Civil War, but I’m willing to die before I let the regimes that my father and uncle fought against in WWII take over MY AMERICA. Let’s try peaceful by contacting our officials and speaking out, but if that fails… then ELSE.

AMERICA NEEDS TO BRING OUR PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN HOME! This should have been begun in April or May, but since it wasn’t then we need to begin a strategic locating/securing/extracting mission for ALL those in Afghanistan that needs rescued. The excuse of theme not ‘registering’ makes me want to beat the crap out of those that have the gall to even say that. DOD should KNOW who is there and STILL needs EVACUATED. Terrorist excuses go only so far when we have 13 dead from the attack. Citizens, Afghans, Military OUT, then blow up left behind stuff!

“What To Do Before and After People Disappear Like in Marvel ENDGAME…” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/23/2021

I wrote an essay titled “Aliens, Weapons, or Jesus” in 2019 for my faith website, but with what has recently happened I decided to do a new Op-Ed to be placed on all the social media links I use. The original essay is still at my faith site: https://www.tribulationhelp.com/world_thread/aliens-or-weapons/ that is still possible now in 2021 even more. This Op-Ed is meant to be a to-the-point list for what people might need to do before and after this situation occurs. It ISN’T meant to scare people but to help them to get ready for the eventuality if you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior. This isn’t a tactic to get you to have a religious experience that isn’t real. It is meant to help you to question reality, study history and Christianity, and prepare for what signs of the times are showing now.

Yes, I watched ENDGAME again. I can’t help but think about the chaos, fear, and despair that will be going on after the event Christians call ‘The Rapture’ or ‘Calling Away’ takes place. I’ve been trying to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ Who IS Savior, Lord, King, and the Only Son of God Almighty of Creation before it’s too late so as many as can will join believers in this spiritual evacuation before the Great Tribulation period begins. Even so, seeing how the people in the movie react to the losses of people they knew and loved that were still here makes my heart ache with pain. I can’t imagine how I would feel if I didn’t know what had happened, like Scott Lang in the movie didn’t know at first. It really showed a parallel in so many ways that I can’t help but relate to as how anyone still in Earth will feel.

The movie has no link to Christian faith, but there are parts of the whole movie series that I can’t help but also relate to different things concerning parts of prophecy that make me shake my head with how some things seem to have dual interpretations due to your own reading, learning, understanding, and spirituality. Regardless, when people see that millions to billions of people have disappeared like the characters in the last movie, it won’t be anything less than utter pandemonium. Once again, this is NOT to scare you into a false acceptance of Jesus Christ, but I hope to help you if a refusal of Jesus Christ as Savior keeps you from joining me in the Rapture. Do I have moments of questioning things sometimes when life gets hard and promises from God seem to not come? Yes. Is this one of those things? NO.

The fact that a secular movie showed something so close to how the Rapture might look to others being right beside a Christian when it happens still blows my mind! While other ‘End-Of-Times’ movies like the LEFT BEHIND series shows it looking differently, I can’t help but THINK about it. The main difference I think will be that Christians will KNOW they are leaving ‘in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye’ and there won’t be any stunned expressions on their faces unless the person beside them were thought to have been leaving with them too. THAT would be the hard reality many people will face when it does happen since they might not have believed their friend, family member, or stranger until THAT moment. If you read this print it. When the Rapture happens, PLEASE REFER TO IT!

I’m not telling you to go buy up a bunch of stuff like what happened during the Pandemic that made people get so crazy. There are just a few things to consider when you go to do your usual marketing. Preventive actions should be taken since chaos is going to run wild right after the initial panic ebbs from not being able to find someone you know. These are some important things that really should be taken care of in general but continually done BEFORE…

1.) If you don’t already have canned or sustainable food like we get in Ohio during winter months, get and keep it.

2.) If you have medications you can’t do without, see if you can get a 90-day supply since stores could shut down.

3.) If you don’t have an Emergency radio, get one to have to keep track of weather, local, and government alerts.

I don’t know WHEN this could happen. I wrote on my other Op-Ed that it could be at any time when the last soul to be saved in the Grace Dispensation that is right now finally happens. It could be DURING Rosh Hashanah. It could be in a few YEARS. It could even be TODAY. We honestly don’t know, but when the Rapture happens and millions to billions of people disappear around the world at the same time then take these steps for safety AFTER…

1.) Immediately PRAY to ask God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ to protect you from what comes next.

2.) ACCIDENTS will happen so try to get inside somewhere safe and away from any kind of moving vehicle.

3.) ELECTRICITY will probably go out so keep batteries, flashlights, and other items needed for your survival.

COMMON SENSE is sometimes hard to come by in 2021 since teenagers and young adults haven’t been taught basics for personal or defensive care like I was taught during those ages myself. Raised in church helped me to learn the things that have lead me to the spiritual common sense for this situation as well. I READ the Christian Bible myself, not depending on preachers, pastors, teachers, or experts only. I should have taken political science as well as religious studies as major and minor, but since I had to withdraw from college due to ongoing illness my reading on my own still has done its job with personal understanding. Please don’t let academics brainwash you into accepting not only Socialism but then specific identification types that will link you to the new leader at that time who will be the demonic anti-Christ.

I’ve been a Pro-Vaccine individual for my almost 49 years. I already had and recovered from Covid-19, but I still got the 2-shot Moderna vaccine since my husband did also because he works at a local hospital. I’m beginning to wonder about the continual ‘booster’, though, since if we get too used to having mandates followed without question when it’s our own health and lives at stake it could make us become mindless drones to follow the orders no matter what, and I’m NOT okay with that. I’m a Non-Conforming Individualist, a legal American Citizen, and a Born-Again Spirit-Filled Christian who has RIGHTS. I support people getting the present Moderna vaccine to help fight getting Covid-19, but I also ask all to KEEP QUESTIONING anything else they come up with after the initial one. WE MUST KEEP OUR RIGHTS!

This might become one of the reasons for what could happen to ensure America will not be able to help Israel – another civil war in America. The fair election question, the declining citizen rights, and the possible loss of the right to bear personal arms might all contribute to this exploding. I’m hoping that won’t happen and somehow the True Church believers will have that Last Great Revival I’ve read about and studied for the past 40 years. It might still happen right BEFORE the Rapture of Christ believers who will be supernaturally evacuated. Once believers are removed the Great Tribulation begins and the revealing of the new leader that will be seen as a man of peace for the first 3-1/2 years that proves as false when he breaks his pact with Israel and Arab nations to become a world despot as ”God”.

While Christians are in a safe place receiving their crowns, precious stones, silver, and gold rewards for their service to Lord God Almighty, those on Earth will line up to worship the son of Satan, a Nephilim that might also be explained as an Alien who actually created mankind – the last Great Deception mentioned in the Christian Bible. This isn’t undocumented or unproven, but many denominations refuse to even consider that the Great Tribulation will be a reality; some even claim it already happened, but I CAN COUNT! The numbers mentioned in prophetic Bible books DON’T MATCH. It has NOT happened yet, so don’t let anyone tell you that it won’t. IT WILL as sure as I can count. Mathematics is one of MY favorite skils, so you can BET ON IT. I’m doing so with my own life right now.

What is happening in Afghanistan right now might be what happens in the United States even before the Rapture. I hope it won’t, but my heart cries already for those who will still be here after Christians are taken out. That is WHY I’m writing about this NOW. I want you to have information. I want you to accept Jesus as Savior if at all possible, but if you don’t understand now then I want to help you with how to survive what you will face. The way those Americans trapped in Afghanistan are feeling helpless now will be what you will probably feel then. Don’t give up! Jesus Christ still saves! Jesus Christ still delivers! Christians and ALL AMERICANS need to be PRAYING for God Almighty to bring ALL of our soldiers and citizens home safely! I’m praying that whoever reads will ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST as Savior Now!

“Father God of Creation, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m a sinner by birth and ask for Forgiveness by the blood of Jesus Christ shed for me on Calvary in my place. I need Your Grace, Mercy, Protection, and a Pathway. I give my life to You to use as You will to reach others as a testament to Your Love for humanity. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ I pray and also ask for rescue for ALL those in Afghanistan until they are ALL safe at home. AMEN!”

“Afghanistan Pivot to Biblical Prophecy 2021” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/20/2021

I’m not a doctored historian, degreed theologian, or someone who has all of the answers to what every single prophecy means to Christians in America and around the world. I’m sitting in the middle of our bed and watching the news like most people my age or older are right now, and America pulling out of our country’s foreign embassy as all Afghan interpreters are left behind is making me shake my head and search my heart for the inner peace Jesus gives. I keep reminding myself that Rosh Hashanah is nearing, and some believers think it will be when Jesus Christ returns to hover in the sky as He evacuates ALL of His believers before the Great Tribulation period begins. The Eschatological prophecies can be seen in this latest event that indicates the governments in Revelation are close to being set up.

Have Christian preachers taught this for as long as I’ve been alive? Yes. Have I studied enough of the Holy Bible for myself to compare what is needed for final parts of any prophecy to happen so I would know when it wasn’t time yet? Yes. Am I concerned because we are nearing Rosh Hashanah since this seems to be coming together a little too quickly? Yes. Will I keep praying to be ready in case Jesus Christ DOES show up in the air to take His people out? YES! So many prophecies have seemed to be fulfilled in the last few years. I’ve been trying to write things to get Saved and Unsaved to understand what seems to be happening. I don’t know specifics to lay out as a blueprint for the Rapture, but reading the Bible prophecies, comparing them to the news, and praying for what I should or shouldn’t say IS what I’m doing.

I have five more books for my Fantasy novel series to write and publish. I have several songs to put to music so I can record them and release my first LP. I’m trying to write these Op-Eds to get through to those who happen to go to my different social media sites so they can maybe learn the TRUTH, find Salvation in JESUS CHRIST, and realize that all of the idiocy of this world isn’t worth losing your SOUL! I’ve been looking for the evidence of the Last Great Revival that I thought Christians would be having years ago, but then the pandemic happened. We have the online options to reach souls now, and that might be how that revival happens, but I’m not seeing any signs that it is happening yet. Rosh Hashanah or not, the LAST soul to find Salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord, and God will launch the Rapture.

The Christian Rapture actually is an EVACUATION. If you’ve been taught in church that we’re all just going to get better or go to a new level of spirituality so Jesus will come back to be King and we’ll be happy… then you haven’t read the whole CHRISTIAN BIBLE. The Great Tribulation is a REALITY for the world’s future at some point. If things keep lining up like they have been, it might be sooner rather than later in my lifetime. I don’t want to scare people like a group did back in the 1990’s about what would happen in 2000 because the computers would all shut down. Or in 1985 that had people selling everything in preparation of leaving. I ask for every person to examine your heart to see if you do belong to Jesus Christ. I’m not perfect, but when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, my heart belonged to Him!

Studying the Old Testament prophecy books like Ezekiel and the New Testament books like Revelation has led me to the understanding that fits with what the Assembly of God and Evangelical churches believe when it comes to the signs Christians are supposed to look for and the timing of certain prophecies that will lead to more being fulfilled even sooner than had ever previously thought was possible. Technology has come along to actually make some of the verses seem more plausible since so many weird and scary things are possible to create. History and Archaeology also have an additional level that explains what happened in the Old Testament that might happen AGAIN to explain more verses. If more theologians took actual giants as reality then maybe they would be closer to seeing the other signs happening.

If you can’t tell by many or even most of my Op-Eds – I’M ANGRY. The fact that I wrecked our car after my 30 years of no tickets or wrecks makes me be upset. The continued pandemic restrictions not supported by science make me be frustrated. The inability to decide what I need to focus on first with what I believe the Lord still wants me to do for as long as we’re still here makes me be aggravated. That’s regular life. I’M ANGRY AT THE CHURCH. Over the last 39 years I’ve been in churches, listened online, or watched through media, but I’m now asking that with all that’s happened why hasn’t the Last Great Revival happened? For one, they refuse to let the Holy Spirit into their services to see lives be changed. Not all churches allow that, but why are so many of the so-called ‘Full Gospel’ churches still being MIA?

I know churches have been closed. I know attendance had fallen even before the pandemic. I know many have been so discouraged by all that has been going on in our country and the world for a decade or more. All of those things and more combine to keep us from being as ‘spiritual’ as we need to be to even open up to the Holy Spirit or His Gifts. While I have a problem with churches that demand pantyhose for women since I speak in other tongues wearing blue jeans, I still own dresses, skirt-suits, short heels, and the dratted pantyhose, so it’s not that I can’t dress that way. I’m against being forced to comply with anyone’s man-made rule. If I sing at a church then I try to wear the clothes that church would deem appropriate since a minister of any gift is to be everything to everyone as Apostle Paul stated.

I’m not sure how this Afghanistan situation is going to affect us in the short term. I know that particular area is always included in Christian prophecy, especially End-Times related ones, but presently I’m seeing a possibility for the prophecy piece to be placed that might make things speed up more. If that happens then the True Church of Jesus Christ needs to be working even harder to get the Gospel to as many people as possible in America and around the world. I’m not sure what is causing the interference unless demonic powers are putting oppression over many Christians that they can’t break free. I’ve had my moments of sadness many times recently, so I know how that can keep people from even wanting to reach out to someone else in the midst of it, but if Jesus Christ did it on the Cross for us then we must try!

Denominations is another word for divisions, but it used to be only concerning concepts of our Faith, NOT a complete disconnect from each other since we were ALL fellow believers in Jesus Christ as Savior, and only had few differences in preferences and practices; NOW? It seems our main cohesion through Christ is being eroded by all the differences taking over the similarities. JESUS should be our focus! While I believe in allowing the Holy Spirit Gifts during services, the preaching of the Gospel with Jesus Christ dying for our sins is the ONLY way for Salvation. The Spiritual Gifts later is awesome, and sometimes the Lord fills a person with the Gifts at the same time, but the most important thing to be known is JESUS DIED FOR YOU! Regardless of any difference, Jesus died FOR YOU!

I was born in America. I have never been attacked, molested, shot, or otherwise terrorized for being a Christian. If I can’t get excited over my sins being washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ in my place, then there’s NOTHING else that could! Not going to Hell is the best side-effect of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, but KNOWING Him in a personal way through prayer, reading the Christian Holy Bible, singing songs of Faith with others who feel the same way in service to share each other’s problems while still be uplifted since better is coming are ways for that to happen. It’s not a way to be brainwashed. It’s not group hallucination. When two or more are in His presence then HE is with them. This is the ‘in one accord’ in the New Testament that is needed for the Holy Spirit to even move. We NEED One-Accordance!

Christians and other groups in Afghanistan are at risk this day 08/20/2021. As a Christian I’m really sick at heart with what these people are facing. It is also why I posted about needing to be excited that I have NEVER faced terrors in America. With how our country is being shredded, though, I don’t know how much longer that will be true. I’ll keep on posting, singing, writing, and doing whatever else I need to do for as long as I’m free, but we don’t even know if THAT will be taken at any time with how things are still so controlled due to the pandemic. If ever Christians in America tried praying for not only themselves but those in Afghanistan and around the world then it would be NOW. There are a few countries where Christianity is deemed as an offense punishable by death in 2021. PRAY like never before!

Evening of September 6, 2021 until evening of September 8, 2021 is Rosh Hashanah this year. I’ve noted before that some believe that ‘No man knows the day or the hour’ in the New Testament is a colloquialism used by Jesus Christ that refers to His return in the air to take away His believers as told to the Apostles. I don’t know and don’t want to only ‘behave’ more during that time each year either. As followers of Christ, we need to try to be His Body on Earth until He comes to evacuate us to safety before the Great Tribulation. God the Father’s focus will go to Israel for their prophecies promised to be finally done after the True Church is taken out and then when we return for the Battle of Armageddon. I believe in the ‘Pre-Tribulation’ view, so I’m a Pre-Tribber. Mid-Trib might be possible, but Post or No Trib isn’t.

If you don’t agree with me does that mean if you know Jesus Christ as your Savior that I don’t consider you a brother or sister in Christ over that alone? No! We can decide to not agree on many points of our Faith and still be like-minded in all other things. I love all kinds of music from Southern Gospel to Christian Rock or Contemporary. Others might not allow many or any of the instruments in these genres, but that doesn’t change that Jesus Christ is the glue to bind us ALL together at this time in this changing atmosphere and ties. The world NEEDS JESUS! Can we put aside differences and focus on what we have in common to see souls saved while we can? Is the pettiness of some in church against others so much that it is what keeps Revival outside of their doors? Examine yourselves and SHARE JESUS!
