Is May 14 ground breaking day?
Check the capital one (i think) commercial with Charles Barkley,
Samuel L Jackson, and Spike Lee.
They are dressed like cowboys, mounted on horses - except Spike Lee -
who rides a white donkey while they sing Low Places.
Funny on its face until one thinks what Lee is saying by riding a “white ass”.
F all of them.
PROJECTION....
The commie-left is the most racist, judgmental, and hateful group of people this planet has produced.
100 million dead is their legacy, the ones they call ‘bigots and closed-minded’.
They’ll do it to you also if the possibility allows it.
Christians & Conservatives are going to be given an ultimatum soon similar to White South African Farmers.
I've had this discussion with several Christian friends and we all believe we're living in the end days. The question is: will it end in our lifetime? I used to think it would, now I think based on my reading and understanding of Revelations and discussions with my Christian friends that it gets a whole lot worse than this before Christ returns. Given I'm 55, it's unlikely the world ends in my lifetime though I do believe I'm living in the end times.
FRiend, it’s my humble opinion that we’re living in the last seconds of the End Times.
SkyPilot & SaveFerris are wonderful Brothers-in-Christ who also believe this and they can back it up with tons of proof & scripture.
Terry James - another wonderful Brother in Christ, wrote this last week. It really hammers home how close we are. Things are lining up and most of the world is oblivious to how precarious the times we live in are. Society & Civilization are hanging literally by threads.
I invite you to read this that he wrote, it’s long - but well worth the point:
How Near?
One of the prophetic Scriptures most poured over by those who hold the pre-Millennial, pre-Trib view of eschatology is the following.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:32-35)
Despite the fact that the seminaries more often than not teach that Jesus, in the Olivet Discourse, addresses only the Jews (Israel), many, including this writer, believe Jesus is speaking not just to Israel. He is speaking here to all, Jews and Gentiles alike, who will accept Christ for salvation down through the ages.
Although there are differences of opinion in precisely what the prophecy means, most agree that the fig tree in Scripture refers most often to the nation Israel.
This prophecy, given by the Lord Himself, is thought by many to be among the strongest scriptural reasons to believe that this present generation will experience Christ’s return to planet earth. Israel, as is said, is God’s prophetic timepiece. The view holds that this generation will see the prophecy fulfilled within the definitive timeline framed by Israel being back in the land God gave them.
Certainly, recent history, in combination with current events, seems to present a strong case that gives this view credibility.
That case is built upon the following:
1) The Bible gives the definition of a generation as 70 years.
2) The nation Israel was reborn–in a single day, as prophesied–in 1948.
3) We are in the year 2018–70 years since Israel came back into the land as a nation following World War II.
4) America is scheduled to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, letting all the world know that we consider Jerusalem the Jewish state’s capital.
5) This is scheduled to happen May 14, the exact anniversary of the month and day of Israel’s rebirth into modernity.
These factors are not all to consider in thinking on Jesus’ prophecy. There is strong reason to believe that this foretelling speaks clearly to a pre-Tribulation Rapture, admittedly the view held today by fewer and fewer pastors and professing Christians.
The Lord next said the following:
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (Matthew 24:36)
Jesus is here talking of a specific day and hour that no one will know. It will be an unannounced event, so far as timing is concerned. This cannot be the Second Advent when Christ returns as given in Revelation 19:11. There are precise number of days when that great event will take place, as measured from the midway point of the 7-year Tribulation. This unknown day and hour Jesus talks about is, rather, the first phase of His Second Coming–the Rapture of the Church!
Immediately after Jesus talked about the generation that would see all the prophecies fulfilled, He spoke of the human condition that will be prevalent at the time of His return. In fact, He spoke of several conditions that will mark that last generation before the first phase of His Second Coming.
We have been over these conditions many times over the past number of years. I refer to Christ’s “days of Noah, days of Lot” prophecy.
The Lord spoke with precision as to what that generation will be doing with regard to carrying on life in general. This is all outlined immediately following Him saying that no man knows the day or hour when His next intervention will take place into the affairs of mankind.
Read again Matthew 24:36-42 and Luke 17: 26-30 to understand the time of His sudden, catastrophic intervention into life on earth.
My contention has been for many years that this time when he suddenly comes for His Church will be in the middle of an economic boom. Economists and others have for years been predicting an economic downturn–even another Great Depression. And, admittedly, by all fiscal principles one can bring forth from economic physics, the world should have long ago fallen into depression.
Then came Trump. He came out of the prayers of those called by the Name of Jesus Christ, who implored the Lord to act leading up to the 2016 presidential election. The miracle occurred. The nation was given, as I’ve said before, not a godly man, but without a doubt–in my mind at least–God’s man for the hour, a president who has put in place policies and structure for a profound economic uptick.
All of this appears to be God’s preparation for bringing this generation to very near the moment of Christ’s shout: “Come up here!” (Revelation 4:1)

Post a comment critical of the video, log out of YouTube, and come back in an hour and see if you can find it. It'll still be there but it'll be buried.
YouTube used to be fairly libertarian when it came to printing comments but now they're all controlled by bots and logarithms to keep preferable opinions displayed while silencing others. It's all by design.
ironic... they want us to judge these new artists by their cover...
see what i did there.
cover.
i crack myself up.
Like I keep saying, corporate marketing departments have been thoroughly infested by Millenial females who are products of the finest brainwashing programs at Leftist universities.
“If this is what young Americans want, they will get it.”....
All I can say is @ 80+ years of age, I won’t be dealing with those ass wipes for too long. I lived in far better times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And blowed.
The nerdy white guy on the guitar did pretty damned good. Other than that, it was forgettable.
I'm sure that Visa/Discover/Amex are all equally offensive, just in a different way.
What did you expect out of a company that SOROS has his finers into? I cancelled mine a year ago when I found that out, It was a back up for when the main one was not exceppted.
I have noticed recently, if you look closely, nearly every commercial has its designated homo in it. I have seen several with the homo tucked into the commercial, no matter the type of commercial. But, they are there if you look for them. Everything now a days has to have the designated homo in it.
"Weird" is a nice way to put it. Perverse is more like it.
And it seems to increasingly feed on its own perverseness moreso than ever before, creating an exponential end-time spiral into moral anarchy. As if some Restraint has been removed.
I think it’s the day it’s supposed to open.
Someone correct if that’s incorrect. TIA
Perverse is more accurate.
It definitely WILL get worse. Far, far worse.
But it comes rapidly. When it all starts to go.
The changes just under the Lying Kenyan were eye-popping to me.
