Breaking: Lights at Bagram Airbase Turned On - Chinese Military Planes Reportedly Seen Landing at Abandoned US Airbase in Afghanistan #BidenEffect
|
|
|
China military planes reportedly landed at Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan.
This is after Biden abandoned the base in its hasty surrender of the country.
For the first time since Joe Biden and General Milley withdrew all US forces from Bagram Air Base and left the Taliban with billions in US military weapons, the lights at Bagram were turned on last night. Local witnessed several military planes, reportedly from China, landing and taking off from the base last night.
Joe Biden withdrew all US forces from Afghanistan and Bagram Air Base and
now China is reportedly landing its planes there. There has NEVER been a greater military blunder in US history.
(Also)The Daily Mail is reporting:
There have been multiple reports of military planes arriving at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan just hours after images emerged showing that power was restored to the base for the first time since US forces evacuated the stronghold in July. Images circulating on social media appear to show the airbase's floodlights&nnbsp;blazing in the distance, amid reports that several military planes have taken off and landed at the base in recent hours.
Several sources suggest that the aircraft are Chinese, given the Taliban are not thought to possess the expertise needed to power the base or maintain and fly
several military aircraft.
Meanwhile, the Taliban is rounding up individuals suspected of being
attached to the former regime or the US and torturing them.
Joe Biden is not just destroying the US, he's destroying the world.

1. Report: Benny Gantz told PA chief Abbas he wants to be ‘the new Rabin’ - Times of Israel
During a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in August, Defense Minister Benny Gantz reiterated his backing for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while suggesting that any major peace initiative was unlikely under the new government, Israeli television reported on Friday.
Gantz met with Abbas in late August, the first such high-level face-to-face meeting in over a decade, and one of a series of contacts between the PA and Israel’s government since it was formed in June.
According to Channel 12 news, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh relayed details of the meeting between Gantz and Abbas in a recent sit-down he held with Arab Israeli activists and journalists. (Read more)

2. Meretz ministers meet with PA’s Abbas to ‘keep the two-state solution alive’ - The Times of Israel
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met on Sunday night with Israeli ministers Nitzan Horowitz and Isawi Frej from the left-wing Meretz party in Ramallah, in the second such high profile meeting in recent months.
Health Minister Horowitz said his party was working to “keep the two-state solution alive” within Israel’s current government, which is headed by the right-wing Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
“Do not let it disappear, and do not sabotage the chance of reaching it in the future, because there is no other solution,” Horowitz said following the meeting with Abbas. (Read more)

3. Bennett calls Cyprus plot ‘Iranian act of terror,’ rules out Israeli tycoon as sole target - JNS
(October 4, 2021 / Israel Hayom)Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Monday that a recently foiled plot in Cyprus reportedly targeting Israeli tycoon Teddy Sagi was in fact a much wider Iranian attempt to kill Israelis residing in the island nation.
“As opposed to some of the reports yesterday regarding an incident in Cyprus, I can clarify on behalf of the security establishment that this was an act of terror that was orchestrated by Iran against Israeli businesspeople living in Cyprus. This is not a criminal act and the Israeli businessman Teddy Sagi was not the target,” Bennett’s spokesman said on the prime minister’s official Twitter account.
Cypriot authorities announced last Tuesday that they had arrested an Azeri national on suspicion that he had been hired to target Israelis.
Sagi, 49, is the founder of gambling software company Playtech and owns Camden Market in London. He splits his time among the United Kingdom, Cyprus and Israel. According to Forbes, he is worth $5.6 billion, making him the fourth richest person in Israel. (Read more)

4. BREAKING! First Official EgyptAir Flight Lands at Ben Gurion Airport - Algemeiener
JNS.org – An EgyptAir jet landed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, marking the Egyptian national carrier’s first official direct flight to the Jewish state since the two countries signed a peace treaty in 1979.
EgyptAir affiliate AirSinai has been running flights to Israel for decades, albeit while not displaying the company logo, according to The Associated Press. The national carrier will now openly operate three weekly flights between Cairo and Tel Aviv.
The Israeli Embassy in Cairo tweeted that direct flights are “an important and welcome sign of strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries, especially economic relations,” reported the AP. (Read more)

5. Double agents’: Israeli study explores interaction between immune system and cancer - World Israel News
A new Tel Aviv University study, which examined the response of the immune system to cancer, may help the war against the ailment.
The Israeli study followed the development of a glioblastoma brain tumor in animal models with a normal immune system, with the objective of simulating the development of the tumor in humans.
The findings of the study showed that there are immune system cells that though their primary function is to attack and kill the cancer cells, actually act as “double agents” that increase and intensify the aggressiveness and threat of the tumor.

1.'Radical’ Biden nominee faces backlash from banks - POLITICO
President Joe Biden's decision to nominate Cornell law professor Saule Omarova to regulate the nation's banks is triggering intense anxiety among the lenders and their Washington lobbyists and threatens to set off a bruising battle in Congress.
Omarova is more than just a finance industry critic — she has proposed essentially ending the banking industry as we know it by letting the Federal Reserve take on the deposit accounts of all Americans.
News of her nomination this week to be comptroller of the currency has touched off a scramble among Washington's powerful bank lobbying associations about whether to take the rare and risky step of speaking out against someone who could end up being the industry's top regulator.
Groups including the American Bankers Association are plotting whether to publicly fight back or gin up opposition behind the scenes as their members raise alarms, according to more than a half-dozen industry sources.
“We have serious concerns about her ideas for fundamentally restructuring the nation’s banking system, which remains the most diverse and competitive in the world," American Bankers Association President and CEO Rob Nichols said in a statement.
- Lord, we ask that this woman not be confirmed. Her radical communist policies would destroy our capitalist system. We thank You for hearing our prayer, in Jesus’ Name amen.
- ''The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.'' (Proverbs 27:12)

2.North Carolina County to Discipline, Fire Teachers Who Say America and Founders Are Racist (theepochtimes.com)
A North Carolina school board has adopted a policy that would discipline or dismiss teachers if they incorporate critical race theory (CRT) into their teaching of the history of the United States.
The Johnston County school board on Oct. 1 unanimously approved an amended code of ethics policy after the county’s Republican-run board of commissioners said it would withhold $7.9 million in school funding until the policy was passed, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported.
While CRT wasn’t specifically mentioned in the changes, the new policy did target key ideas aligning with the quasi-Marxist ideology, including claims that U.S. laws and institutions are built upon racial oppression, and that racism is so deeply embedded in the nation that racist views are considered normal throughout all aspects of society.
“Racism causes damage to individuals and the community. When racism is present, it creates a lack of trust and respect,” the document reads. “No student or staff member shall be subjected to the notion that racism is a permanent component of American life.”
When it comes to U.S. history, the policy states that “all people deserve full credit and recognition for their struggles and accomplishments throughout United States history,” and that the nation’s founding documents “shall not be undermined.” It banned any Johnston County Schools employee from “making any attempt to discredit the efforts made by all people using foundational documents for reform.”
- Lord, we thank You for this action on the part of Johnston County and ask that You allow it to spread across the United States, pulling the thread of evil away from our schools.
- ''The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.'' (Proverbs 8:13)

3.Fauci slammed for claiming it's 'too soon' to consider Christmas gatherings | Fox News
Dr. Anthony Fauci was under fire on Sunday for suggesting Americans might have to spend Christmas alone in 2021.
On CBS’s "Face The Nation," Fauci spoke with anchor Margaret Brennan about the status of the coronavirus pandemic and what is expected in the months to come. Specifically, Brennan wondered if families can gather for Christmas.
"We can gather for Christmas, or it’s just too soon to tell?" Brennan asked.
Fauci responded it was "too soon to tell" if people could gather in groups by Christmas this year. "It is just too soon to tell," Fauci said. "We have to concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we’re going to do at a particular time."
- Lord, by now no one should be listening to this man, but we refuse to disregard the celebration of Your birth because of him. We will do what You say, not what this man says.
- ''But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.'' (Acts 5:29)

4.Axios reporter: Traffickers are using Biden's immigration policies to encourage migrants to cross into US | Fox News
Axios reporter Jonathan Swan said on this week's "FOX News Sunday" panel that drug traffickers and cartels are utilizing the Biden administration's open-door immigration policies to persuade more immigrants to cross the border into the United States.
Swan accused Biden's poor immigration strategy for the "unprecedented" influx of Haitian migrants who've made their way across the U.S. Southern Border and into Del Rio, Texas last week.
"When you overlay a global pandemic with, in Haiti, the earthquake and the assassination of the leader, the economic crisis in the region – and it’s only getting worse…some of it is inducement from the Biden administration’s policies and traffickers using that to message people in the region ‘come on up, come on up,’" Swan said.
- Lord, we pray that You will intervene to stop this agenda in its tracks. We pray that no longer will the Democrats or anyone else be able to lie or hide the truth about the migrants or seed them into the inner reaches of our country. We pray that You will place Your Angelic Host on our borders.
- ''For our God is a consuming fire.'' (Hebrews 12:29)

5. Jayapal: I Won’t Vote for a Bill with Hyde Amendment in It (breitbart.com)
Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she would not vote for the Democrats reconciliation bill if it included the Hyde Amendment, which banned federal spending to go toward abortion.
Anchor Dana Bash said, “Senator Joe Manchin said this weekend that this reconciliation bill, the bill we are talking about, must include the Hyde amendment, which bans federal dollars to go for abortions. He said, ‘Yeah, we are not taking the Hyde amendment off. Hyde’s going to be in. It has to be. It has to be. It’s dead on arrival if this is gone.’ You shared your experience with abortion in congressional testimony this past week. Can you vote for a bill that has the Hyde amendment in it?”
Jayapal said, “No.”
Bash said, “So what happens?”
Jayapal said, “This is a negotiation. We’ve got to continue to move this forward, but the Hyde amendment is something that the majority of the country does not support one in four women have had an abortion and need to have reproductive care in a very, very important time when those protections are being rolled back. That is nobody’s business. It is our business as people that carry the babies. And we have to be able to make the choices during our pregnancy.”
- Lord as we have prayed for a heart change in Pelosi, we pray for heart change in all who espouse abortion. We bind this hardness of heart tightly and ask that Your Spirit move mightily to bring a change or remove them from office.
- ''And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.'' (Ezekiel 11:19)

6.Soros group pours $500k into campaign to oppose reinstating Austin police units that were defunded | Fox News
The advocacy group founded by liberal billionaire financier George Soros has dumped $500,000 into a campaign to defeat a proposal in Austin, Texas, that would bulk up the city’s police department.
Proposition A, an Austin ballot proposal for the Nov. 2 election backed by the group Save Austin Now, would require at least two Austin police officers for every 1,000 residents and would provide officers with an additional 40 hours of police training each year on topics such as weapons proficiency and active shooter scenarios.
According to financial records reviewed by Fox News, Soros’ Open Society Policy Center last week donated $500,000 to Equity Austin, a group that is working to defeat Proposition A.
"It sickens me that out of town billionaires are able to swoop into Austin to fight against citizen-led ballot initiatives," Austin City Council member Mackenzie Kelly said in a statement to Fox News. "The purpose of our city’s charter is to allow regular, everyday people to fight for what they believe in when the city council fails them."
- Lord, we pray that You will defeat this plan by the enemy to destroy law enforcement in Austin. We also ask that you defeat every plan of the Soros organization in Jesus Mighty Name.
- ''Fret not yourself because of evildoers, and be not envious of the wicked, for the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.'' (Proverbs 24:18-20)

7.Biden aides dispatched to Haiti for listening tour as 60,000 migrants head toward border | Washington Examiner
Two senior U.S. diplomats met face to face with leaders in Haiti this week as the Biden administration looks to stabilize its approach to the island nation and calm pressures from home.
Brian Nichols, President Joe Biden’s newly confirmed assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, and Juan Gonzalez, National Security Council senior director, arrived in Port-au-Prince Thursday after a stop in Miami. There, they met with Haitian and Cuban American leaders to discuss the challenges facing both of their countries.
“We’re not going there to impose a solution or road map. We’re going there to listen, and particularly to understand what we can do,” Nichols said in Florida, adding they would not push for "near-term" elections.
“We’re pressing for support for Haitian-led solutions,” he said, according to the Miami Herald .
- Lord, we pray that You will be able to bring a stop to the constant flow of migrants not just from Haiti but from everywhere. Give these officials wisdom and prevent them from making concessions that will further harm America.
- ''Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.'' (Proverbs 19:20)

8.$2 Million Raised For Marine Facing Possible Charges Over Demanding Accountability For Afghanistan | The Daily Caller
The Pipe Hitter Foundation (PHF) raised over $2 million as of Sunday for Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller who’s facing possible charges for demanding accountability for the situation in Afghanistan.
“The Pipe Hitter Foundation is incredibly proud to assist Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, a Marine who had the courage to demand accountability from his leadership in the wake of a disastrous exit from Afghanistan that lead to the death of 13 of his fellow service members,” reads the Donor Box description.
Scheller posted a video on social media in August calling out his senior leadership for not taking responsibility for the disastrous exit in Afghanistan.
“I have been fighting for 17 years, and I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders ‘I demand accountability,'” Scheller said.
- Lord, thank You for helping this Marine. We pray that his called for accountability will be heard far and wide, and that even though he is imprisoned at this time, You will grant him freedom both spiritually and physically.
- ''The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.'' (Psalm 145:18)

9. Oil company says pipeline shut down after California leak | Stars and Stripes
Crude was no longer leaking from a Southern California pipeline believed to be the source of a massive oil spill that closed miles of popular beaches on Sunday, according to the head of the company that owns the facility.
Divers were still trying to determine where and why the leak occurred, but the flow of oil was stopped late Saturday from the line that runs under the ocean off Huntington Beach, said Amplify Energy CEO Martyn Willsher.
At least 126,000 gallons of crude spilled into the waters off Orange County starting late Friday or early Saturday when boaters began reporting a sheen in the water, officials said.
"I don't expect it to be more. That's the capacity of the entire pipeline," Willsher said at a Sunday news conference. He said the pipeline was suctioned out and dozens of nearby oil platforms operated by Amplify were shut down.
It was one of the largest oil spills in recent Southern California history, fouling the strand in Huntington Beach, the town known as Surf City USA. Crews scrambled to contain the crude before it spread further into protected wetlands.
Huntington Beach Mayor Kim Carr said the city's famous beaches could remain closed for weeks or even months.
- Lord, even as we pray for You to move across America for repentance, we also pray that You will not destroy the land and oceans.

School Boards Demand Terrorist Designation
For Dissenters
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, October 4, 2021
In recent days, both the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the National School Boards Association (NSBA) have called on the Biden Administration to take extraordinary actions against people demanding accountability of their local schools, even to the extent of designating dissenters as domestic terrorists. In a letter to Biden, the NSBA wrote: “As these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” Angry dissent on COVID 19 policies and teaching of Critical Race Theory—both encouraged by the Biden Administration—have prompted the requests.
Americans would be wise to memorize the 10th Amendment, which states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” It means that if it is not itemized in the Constitution, it is left to the states or to the people (that’s you and me) to decide. This is coming into play more and more each passing day where federal government is overstepping its bounds. One area that it has grown to immense overreaching and unconstitutional fiat is that of your local school. Public schools were supposed to be governed locally, but then the government got into the quid pro quo business with granting money for submitting to policy. Read More

Rand Paul makes example out of HHS secretary for 'lying to people about naturally acquired immunity'
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) grilled Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra during a congressional hearing on Thursday over the Biden administration's seeming refusal to recognize natural immunity against COVID-19.
What happened?
Paul began the tense exchange, which happened during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing, by asking Becerra whether he was aware of an Israeli study that found natural immunity provided significantly stronger protection than the COVID-19 vaccine.
When Becerra admitted he is "not familiar with that study," Paul tore into the secretary.
"I think you might want to be if you're going to travel the country insulting the millions of Americans, including NBA star Jonathan Isaac."
- Lord, this incessant pattern of intentional ignorance in the Biden camp needs to be rectified. We ask for Your spirit to move across this entire nation, ferreting out the fools and bringing righteousness to America.

U.S. Responds to China's Military Activity Near Taiwan
|
|
|
|
The State Department said on Sunday that the U.S. is "very concerned" about China's "provocative military activity near Taiwan" following Beijing's most recent show of air power near the self-governing island.
"The United States is very concerned by the People’s Republic of China’s provocative military activity near Taiwan, which is destabilizing, risks miscalculations, and undermines regional peace and stability. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.
On Friday, China flew 38 military aircraft into Taiwan's air defense identification zone, believed to be Beijing's largest military provocation seen yet. On Saturday, it sent 30 warplanes toward Taiwan.
Since the beginning of the year, China has continuously flown military aircrafts into Taiwanese airspace as part of its ramped-up efforts to strengthen its territorial claim over the island.
"China has been wantonly engaged in military aggression, damaging regional peace,” said Taiwan Premier Su Tseng-chang on Saturday. "We have an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. We will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability, and we will maintain our commitments as outlined in the Three Communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances," Price said in the latest statement.
"The U.S. commitment to Taiwan is rock solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region," he added. "We will continue to stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values and deepen our ties with democratic Taiwan." (Read more)
- Lord, we pray for Your Mighty protection over Taiwan, and upon any and all US forces that might be deployed against China if they invade. We take authority over all of China's actions and declare them null and void. We ask for Your PEACE to flow over this region in Jesus' Name, Amen.
- "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet." (Matthew 24:6)

Leaked records open a ‘Pandora’ box of financial secrets
|
|
|
|
Hundreds of world leaders, powerful politicians, billionaires, celebrities, religious leaders and drug dealers have been hiding their investments in mansions, exclusive beachfront property, yachts and other assets for the past quarter-century, according to a review of nearly 12 million files obtained from 14 firms located around the world.
The report released Sunday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists involved 600 journalists from 150 media outlets in 117 countries. It's being dubbed the "Pandora Papers" because the findings shed light on the previously hidden dealings of the elite and the corrupt, and how they have used offshore accounts to shield assets collectively worth trillions of dollars.
The more than 330 current and former politicians identified as beneficiaries of the secret accounts include Jordan's King Abdullah II, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, Czech Republic Prime Minister Andrej Babis, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso, and former associates of both Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The billionaires called out in the report include Turkish construction mogul Erman Ilicak and Robert T. Brockman, the former CEO of software maker Reynolds & Reynolds.
Many of the accounts were designed to evade taxes and conceal assets for other shady reasons, according to the report.
"The new data leak must be a wake-up call," said Sven Giegold, a Green party lawmaker in the European Parliament. "Global tax evasion fuels global inequality. We need to expand and sharpen the countermeasures now." (Stars and Stripes)

Shock waves in outflow gases could regulate 'volcano lightning'
|
|
|
Volcanic eruptions spew lava, rock and ash into the air. When fragments of these materials mix and collide in the outflow, they can create an electric potential large enough to generate lightning.
New research by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists and collaborators has discovered that standing shock waves in the supersonic outflow of gases prevent electric discharges like sparks and lightning from propagating. This suggests standing shocks formed by a volcanic eruption may suppress or reduce volcano lightning during the initial phase of an eruption. The new research appears in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
In nature, electric discharges in the form of lightning are frequently observed not only in thunderclouds, but also in widely diverse environments that exhibit turbulent particle-laden flows, such as volcanic plumes and dust devils.
During electric discharge, radio frequency (RF) emissions can be recorded, providing a means to track the progressive evolution in space and time of the lightning source. Similar to the detection of thunderclouds and storms, RF detection also is now being used to detect and inform on the hazards associated with ash-laden volcanic plumes and ash clouds. In particular, lightning at active volcanoes in a state of unrest can indicate the onset of hazardous explosive activity and the production of ash plumes. In addition, both observable discharges and RF emissions can reveal the mechanisms that initiate the lightning and offer clues about the makeup of the erupting material. Read More

Parents Sue California over Curriculum that Directs Students to Pray to Aztec Gods
|
|
|
A California ethnic studies curriculum that asks students to chant and pray to Aztec gods is being challenged in court by a group of parents, who say the material violates both the U.S. and the state Constitutions.
At issue is an 800-plus page Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, which was adopted by the state in March and is being used by the state’s public schools. Among the activities, according to the lawsuit, is a group of “affirmations, chants and energizers” that invoke spiritual beings of the Aztec religion.
The lawsuit was filed against the state by the Thomas More Society on behalf of individual parents and taxpayers and the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation.
“Our clients are not opposed to having students learn about different cultures and religions, including the practices of the Aztecs,” said Paul Jonna, partner at LiMandri & Jonna LLP and special counsel for the Thomas More Society. “But the California State Board of Education’s approved Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum goes far beyond that by directing students to pray to Aztec deities. This portion of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum is not only offensive, but blatantly unconstitutional.”
The activities include an Aztec prayer that “invokes five spiritual beings worshiped by practitioners of the Aztec religion,” the suit says. In another activity, students take part in an “Ashe” chant or affirmation by repeating the name “Ashe,” which is the “divine force as recognized in the Yoruba religion.”
“Children are directed to repeat this name, along with other words, in response to various questions, so as to form the phrase ‘Ashe, Ashe, Ashe, Still I rise, Ashe,’” the suit says.
“Use of the prayers and chant violate the Establishment Clauses of both the U.S. and California Constitutions,” the suit says. (Christian Headlines) Read more.

21 Days of Prayer
Pride | Day One
Repentance builds us up in Christ, removing old sin strongholds, so that we fear God, not man, in these end times. Proverbs 6:16-19 sets forth the 7 abominations God hates (that's His Word). Each one of the seven has been loosed on the planet in every nation, and you and I, already called by Him His Bride, (Ephesians 5: 25-27) are now urged by Him today (Revelation 3: 19-21) to extricate ourselves from these abominations, these demonic traps. We are to come up higher to His Word as our Rock, extricating ourselves from this wicked culture all around us. Today is the day to get ready; He is the soon-coming Bridegroom.
Today on Day One of the 21 Day Repentance journey the focus is on the number one abomination God hates: PRIDE. We all have some measure of it; if you say you don't have it, you have it!

Rescue the Perishing
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Fanny Crosby
Music: W. Howard Doane
Scripture: Snatch others from the fire and save them. Jude 23
Lyrics:
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
Refrain
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.
Refrain
Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
Refrain
Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.
