Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky

Oh, great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting, end the war
And the band played on
Great googa-looga, can't you hear me talking to you
Sayin' ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey, hey

Revelation 13:15
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beastshould both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Interpreters bible exposition
(Verse) 15. Living in an Unreal World.
The picture the man of Patmos paints is fairly fantastic in its evil confusion. The true God is ignored. The beast is worshiped. The lifeless image breathes and speaks words of wicked power. A phantasmagoria of evil has taken the place of the reign of good.The false vitality of wickedness masters the state. What seems real to men is actually unreal to them. What for the moment seems unreal to them is the eternal rule of GOD.
(Suspend your disbelief.)
The deceptive vitality of intellectual fashions which betray the mindsof men in its own odd way gives breath to the image of the beast. In a secular and materialistic age the spirit of the time all too easily contradicts the spirit of God."
(The Antichrist)
I JUST COVERED THIS:
CHAPTER XII
BIBLICAL DEMONOLOGYAND ESCHATOLOGY
Although Demonic activity in human history has always been undeniably great since the sin of our first parents exposed mankind to its baneful attacks, yet the full realization and augmentation of its destructive power are reserved for the consummation of the age. Demonism bears a striking relation to the doctrine of last things; and all classes of mankind, Jew, Gentile, and the Church of God (I Cor. 10:32) will be intimately and vitally affected by the last-day upsurge of evil supernaturalism. Despite the fact that the Holy Scriptures are not only clear but quite emphatic in their repeated warnings against augmented latter-day demonic activity, the professing church of the twentieth century to an alarming extent refuses to recognize the existence of evil supernatural forces.This condition of unbelief can be attributed only to the low level of spiritual life and power in the church."
"...In the light of the prophesied onslaught of deceiving spirits against the Church in the last days (I Tim. 4:1-3), so apparent in its incipient fulfilment now, the unbelief of Christian people is all the more tragic as many believers suffer demonic deception and despoliation because of sheer ignorance of Satan and his devices.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
Let us consider:
"Let me make one final plea Mr. President... In the name of our God I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives. And the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and they are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches, mosques and synagogues. MayI ask you to have mercy Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here."
The Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde,
Episcopal Bishop of Washington,
who led the inaugural prayer service
in Washington, DC Tuesday, 01/21/2025
"And the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals."
"1 When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Last week Donald Trump appointed a director of intelligence who spouts Russian propaganda, a Christian nationalist crusader as secretary of defense, and a secretary of health who is a vaccine sceptic. If Trump was seeking to destroy American democracy, the American state and American values, this is how he’d do it."
"These cabinet picks are designed to destroy the country from the inside out BTW, its the only way they make any sense. Prediction? They will all, each and every one get confirmed.

The Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde,
Now let us consider:
Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson. 1 day ago
Bishop Budde hijacked the National Prayer Service
to promote her radical ideology.
(Of Mercy?
)
This was an opportunity to unify the country in prayer, but she used it to sow division. Even worse, she's continued
her political crusade
(Political?)
in media interviews.
Shameful.
Now consider again:
Interpreters bible exposition
(Revelation 13, verse 15)
15. Living in an Unreal World.
The false vitality of wickedness masters the state.
"...the spirit of the time all too easily contradicts the spirit of God."
SO WHOSE SPIRIT IS MORE CHRIST-LIKE IN YOUR OPPIOION?

That fact ought to be hitting you in the face like a sledge-hammer by now.
"Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, now says many of those drones were authorized and known by the government.
"After research and study,
(Whose research? Where? When?
Why didnt they just tell us that when it was happening?)
"...the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for researchand various other reasons," Leavitt said at a briefing Tuesday."
(It takes:
"research and study"
to figure out they

were:
"authorized to be flown by the FAA for research"
WTF
??????????????
And?
What exactly were the:
"various other reasons"

Shes right about that.
They might be your enemy?
But they aint my/our enemy:
Revelation 9:4
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or any tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
(That wasn't Buddha's or Mohammad's revelation BTW.)
YOU SIMPLY DID NOT INTERACT WITH WHAT I DID AT CUSTER UMC ABD BIG SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH 4 YERAS AGO.
IT WAS FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE
OF COMING HERE AND WHAT I AM TELLING YOU NOW.
BELIEVE THAT.)
SO?
If you honestly think "her" wearing this:
wasn't a piece of Satanic stagecraft?
Then you are simple not understanding
the times we are living in.
"Demonic activity...the full realization and augmentation of its destructive power are reserved for the consummation of the age."

11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] That number is 666.
Set up the following code
(letters of the alphabet are coded to multiples of 6).
Add those numbers up and you get 666 - The "number of the beast, the new economic system thats coming after the nuclear war when there will be no other currencies.
"The White House confirmed Netanyahu had accepted the invite for the Feb. 4 meeting."
(Well I wonder what they will be talking about?
TAKING OUT IRANS NUKES!
Duh.)
Even louder this time:
MORE YET!
Let us again consider:
CHAPTER XI
BIBLICAL DEMONOLOGY AND WORLD GOVERNMENTS
IN EVERY AGE of human history and in every phase of daily life demons have played a tremendous and very important role. In no realm is their activity more significant than in the sphere of human government. In this area possibly more than in any other field of their operation their activity has frequently not been clearly discerned or even partially understood. Their invisible nature, their close and inseparable identity with their visible human agents, and the supernatural character of their operations have combined to clothe them and their wicked machinations and evil enterprises in ominous mystery. Innumerable multitudes without the light of divine revelation, and other multitudes possessing the Bible, but uninitiated into the truths of the "mystery of lawlessness" (II Thess. 2:7), cannot get beyond "flesh and blood" (Eph. 6:12). They can see only the human actors upon the stage of history. Wicked rulers, ruthless dictators, tyrants, oppressors, kings, governors, and presidents are, to them, the real and only characters in the great drama of life as it affects the political realm. They have no idea at all of the unseen realm of evil personalities, energizing and motivating their human agents. "The principalities... the powers ... the world rulers of this present darkness," and "the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12, R.S.V.) are, so far as they are concerned, mere theological nonentities with which they do not reckon.
"...governors are likely to push back against attempts to have them shoulder the full burden of disaster response given their comparative lack of resources."
(Thats why they wanna push it on the states, they know the states cant fund disaster relief:
2. DEMONS OPPRESS MAN AND SEEK TO HINDER HIS WELFARE)
"After widespread confusion from the initially very broad memo calling for a halt in federal assistance, pending review, the White House tried Tuesday to further clarify which programs would not be affected, later specifying that it would not impact Medicaid and SNAP programs, for example."
"This latest statement from the White House is likely to add to the confusion rather than clarify it."
IT'S SATANS PLAN YO.
ITS NOT SOME ACCIDENT.
IT'S NOT TRUMP OR ANYBODY ELSE.
ITS THE UNSEEN DEMONIC FORCES
THAT MOST DONT EVEN BELIEVE EXIST,
THAT IS BEHIND THE INDIVIDUALS.
"A phantasmagoria of evil
("a sequence of real or imaginary images
like those seen in a dream.")
Only this isn't a dream and
I'm gonna add in: "confusion" right behind evil.)
has taken the place of the reign of good.
(People look at us like we are crazy when we go do volunteer home repairs for others that would have had financial trouble doing so themselves. I've seen it numerous times. People just cant understand what we are doing or why since we are not getting anything out of it for ourselves. What a great ministry and what a great group of individuals to be associated with.)
