Tuesday March 24....Last evening the television offered an old 1953 film....Titanic....that starred Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb....and a young Robert Wagner. Watching it brought back a memory from June of 2014....of a post typed in a deckchair on the promenade of Royal Caribbean's....Grandeur of the Seas....on the return from Bermuda. I had earlier sat on our stateroom bed and turned on the television....and started watching that same 1953 movie. About twenty minutes into it....(according to that post that you can read for yourself if you want to go back that far)....the screen went blank....and Titanic was replaced by a Bob Hope movie. I have no doubt that someone at the entertainment controls thought it not a good idea to play....Titanic....while on a ship in the middle of the ocean. Either way....that truly is us.....for we as a people....and as a church....do not want to face what might be just ahead....even though much of God's Word precisely tells us in detail of these things....so that we might repent....and pray....and repent of that we have brought upon ourselves.
Donald Trump's....rise...fall....and rise....demonstrated for all with eyes to see....one colossal weakness in man. With all the intellect....and zeroing in closer....even among many of those who have actually been....born again....with all that....we can look at Trump....at eleven years of the....'let Trump be Trump'....and not fall to our knees in repentance for one of the most egregious mistakes that Christians have made since Jesus ascended to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit! It just has to be end-times related. It just has to be part of the great end-times delusion. It is so extraordinary in weakness....that when we finally see what we have done....it may separate the chaff from the wheat....and beckon the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior and King.
Today....a good man in Robert Mueller....died....a man who saw a serious problem in the national security of our country....a kompromat candidate such as America may never have seen....who became our president and the de facto leader of the free world....and Mueller did his best under extreme pressure....and against powerful elements in his own party....and was in fact too lenient....and after his death was announced....the kompromat candidate....with psychological disorders so extreme that the word....madness....is legitimate conjecture....his social media response was...."Robert Mueller just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!"
The Save America Act is really the Save Trump Act.
The Western Wall....or the Wailing Wall as it is known....is that portion of the temple mount in Jerusalem that had survived the Roman destruction of Jerusalem. The exposed wall is approximately 50 yards in length....of one giant limestone block on top of another. Surely you are familiar with all of the photos of it. There are a number of live 24/7 webcams of it....and I check in.....probably once every three or four days....and sometimes many days in a row. A renovation of the tiled area where the people stand has just been completed....and it is a remarkable sight. I hope you are familiar with what is called the....Olivet Discourse....in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 and Luke 21....where Jesus answers the question from His disciples on what will be the signs of His coming. He began by pointing to all of the temple structures....and saying that not one stone will be upon another. There is a little disagreement in that some say that the Jesus meant all of the stones....even in the temple mount retaining wall....and others say no....not the retaining walls. After forty years of having this in the back of my mind....I tend to agree with the former. There has always been the possibility of radical elements in the Jewish community attempting to destroy the Dome of the Rock....in order to build the third temple.....and now with this war....and rocket fragments actually falling near the temple mount days ago....there is the possibility that the Wailing Wall could be targeted....while there has always been the possibility of a major earthquake in that highly geologically volatile area.
