I guess he must have skipped the part in the Bible with Jesus leading into talking about being the Good Shepherd.

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place [on the stone wall], that one is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep [the protector and provider]. 3 The doorkeeper opens [the gate] for this man, a ... Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what He was talking about. 7 So Jesus said again, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the Door for the sheep [leading to life]. 8 All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

Seems to be a rash of these so-called ‘mega’ preachers lately thinking we should aid the corrupt globalist NWO with its redistribution of the world for Satan,

They call themselves teachers and yet they don’t know these things, they have a form of Godliness but deny the power,

They have become willing dupes for that anti-Christ spirit moving across the land and I’m sure they’re profiting from it also,

That evil beast would be moving faster still if President Trump hadn’t come along and interrupted it,

This refugee crisis was never about events happening on their own, this was all planned in advance and is being implemented,

Terrorism empowers greater government control and increased state surveillance (of its formerly free citizens) and the invasion of Islamic hordes was all planned and was being implemented by that lawless Obama Muslim Brotherhood administration here and with Merkel and others in Europe including that Globalist installed Pope, they all serve the same master.

This has not been about events spiraling out of control on their own where we’re all just being “good” Christian neighbors and helping the downtrodden,

The strength of the West and especially Christianity has to be diminished in order for the global planners to proceed unabated, the Holy Spirit and the name of Jesus Christ hinders until taken out of the way, with a then falling away to like-minded reprobates.

Several years ago a Rabbi went around the radio talk show circuit stating the Globalists were planning to foment a crisis to invade the west with Islam, they did

They cannot have strong nationalist established pockets of resistance in the West that still believe in individual freedoms,

We have been cursed with reprobate leaders of our own choosing, given over to doing those things that make no sense to their own people, their judgement harms or diminishes their own,

How does such a thing happen:

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” Romans 1:28

We battle not against flesh and blood - these reprobates in the Government as well as the church have been empowered by ‘principalities and powers’ working to surrender their nations to evil, to flood the west with Islam and to to make western culture and in particular Christian influences to be diminished, to bring in those that would willingly legally surrender that heritage and strength, ultimately with the goal to surrender to that spirit of anti-Christ and its new world order, allowing it to rise up globally as that beast system as prophesied for the last days,

When a people or nation turns away from God we’re told what can happen, their nation can be turned over to outsiders and given to others:

This was outlined in Deuteronomy 28 for Israel,

“The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; “ Deuteronomy 28:49

“Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.” Psalm 106:40-41

Last I checked Jesus was not a Muslim worshiping Allah and was not all that into imposing rape and violence upon others.

Analogy works well if you substitute “Mohammed” for “Jesus”. After all, Jesus hasn’t come to your door to kill you, but that’s exactly why Mohammed is there.

” . . I do that for personal reasons as a follower of Jesus,” Webb said . . “

These kind say what they say for political effect, knowing it will be glowingly published and re-tweeted with favorable sound bites from the corrupt managed MSM etc.,

When we read in the book of Revelation how at the time of the end the dragon gives his own their seat and power, this is what it looks like to a more subtle degree,

They bend the knee to serve it and it empowers them, gives them their place to stand and we as believers should understand how the images that move and speak and appear to be alive (MSM, TV images, social media, live feeds flooding into every home) all work collectively together for them to uphold them and give them greater authority that otherwise they could have received on their own.
