EXCLUSIVE: New poll finds 103 million Americans – including many Jews, agnostics, even atheists – see COVID pandemic as sign of biblical prophecy and the ‘last days’
|
|
The introduction of the novel coronavirus into the world in December 2019, and its lightning fast spread around the planet, has rattled people in every country, including Americans.
COVID has taken the lives of more than six million people worldwide.
It has changed the way we travel, the way we do business, the way we run schools and affected so many other areas of life.
Now, a new survey indicates that Americans think something far more significant is in motion than simply a nasty disease.
Fully four-in-ten Americans believe that the COVID pandemic is a sign that biblical prophecy is coming to pass and that we are living in the “last days” before the return of Christ.
- Two-out-of-three Evangelical Christians believe this.
- But so do one-in-four American Jews.
- And almost one-in-three self-identified “secular” Americans.

- Lord, we pray that these groups will not just “think” that this might be the end-times, but that they will come to You and be changed by the Holy Spirit.
- “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

1. Right warns Bennett reviving Olso by rebuilding West Bank barrier - Jerusalem Post
Right-wing politicians accused Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of supporting a Palestinian state, after the security cabinet decided to rebuild 40 kilometers of the West Bank security barrier in the northern Samaria area.
“This is not a security fence, this is a border wall,” MK Orit Struck (Religious Zionist Party) said on Monday.
The cabinet’s decision on Sunday night came after Palestinian gunmen crossed into sovereign Israel through gaps in the defunct barrier and executed two terrorist attacks in Bnei Brak and Tel Aviv that claimed eight lives. (Read more)

2. Bank of Israel raises interest rate for first time since 2018 to limit inflation - Times of Israel
The Bank of Israel’s monetary policy committee said Monday it was raising the benchmark interest rate to 0.35% from the current 0.1%, as it has signaled it would, in order to limit rising inflation and housing prices in Israel.
The announcement marks the first time the central bank has decided to raise the interest rate since November 2018.
The central bank indicated it would start gradually increasing the interest rate in February, citing at the time strong economic performance alongside the COVID-19 pandemic and indications pointing to “continued strong activity.”
The bank also cited the inflation rate, which had risen above its target range since the last policy meeting in early January, as well as rising consumer and housing prices. (Read more)

4. PA officer admits to terror attack plan on Israeli settlement - report - Jerusalem Post
The Palestinian officer was reportedly arrested by the Palestinian Authority, which distanced itself from the terrorist.
A Palestinian Authority (PA) security officer admitted to planning to carry out a terror attack on an Israeli West Bank settlement, KAN News reported on Monday evening.
The armed officer arrived at the Vered Yeriho settlement, near Jericho, on Sunday and shot a full cartridge of bullets in the air after an Israeli security officer refused to let him enter the settlement.
The Palestinian officer, who was reportedly arrested by the PA, admitted during interrogation that he planned to carry out an attack on Israelis living in the settlement.
A source in the PA told KAN News the officer "does not represent" the Palestinian security establishment in the West Bank. (Read more)

1.Unsafe Levels of Uranium Present in American Public Drinking Water: University Study (theepochtimes.com)
High concentrations of uranium were discovered in U.S. community water systems (CWS), according to a study conducted by researchers at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
“We estimated that 63.1 percent of CWS compliance monitoring records reported detectable concentrations of uranium, and that 2.1 percent of CWSs with available uranium data had 2000–11 average concentrations above the MCL [maximum contaminant levels],” based on data collected in the study published in The Lancet Planetary Health on April 1.
“Despite relatively frequent detections and relatively high concentrations compared with other metals in our study, uranium has been underappreciated in the literature as a public drinking water contaminant of concern,” said the study, titled “Sociodemographic inequalities in uranium and other metals in community water systems across the USA.”
- Lord, in The Scriptures, bad water is tied to sin, even in Your people. We pray for a strong move of repentance across the nation. We ourselves repent for failing to listen to You, for going our own way. We cry out to You for healing of our drinking water as well as our lives!
- “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them poisonous water to drink.” (Jeremiah 9:15)

2. Fauci Predicts 'Uptick' in COVID, Floats Indoors Mask Requirement (breitbart.com)
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the new BA.2 variant of COVID will cause an “uptick” of cases which might cause a return to requirements for wearing masks indoors.
Fauci said, “Obviously, there is concern that we are seeing an uptick in cases, as I mentioned over the last couple of weeks, that this is not unexpected, that you’re going to see an uptick when you pull back on the mitigation methods. If you look at the CDC calculation with their new metrics, it’s clear that most of the country, even though we’re seeing an uptick, is still in that green zone, which means that masking is not recommended in the sense of not required on indoor settings.”
- Lord, we pray that none of this man’s words will come to pass, and that no more lockdowns or mask mandates will happen in Jesus’ Mighty Name!
- “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” (Proverbs 18:21)

3.John Durham demands docs from DNC, Hillary Clinton campaign (nypost.com)
Special counsel John Durham has accused the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, research firm Fusion GPS and Democratic law firm Perkins Coie of improperly holding back hundreds of documents relevant to his investigation under unfounded claims of attorney-client privilege.
In a 23-page filing this week, Durham asked that a federal judge order the documents be handed over for in camera review, arguing that the privilege claims lack “any connection to actual or expected litigation or the provision of legal advice.”
In his request, Durham revealed that out of 1,455 documents withheld by Fusion GPS under claimed attorney-client privilege or work product protections, only 18 emails and attachments actually involve an attorney.
The filing went on to note that the DNC and Hillary for America — the official name for the Clinton campaign — have also tried to withhold communications between a Fusion GPS employee and tech executive Rodney Joffe, “despite the fact that no one from either the DNC or HFA is copied on certain of these communications.”
- Lord, we pray that every “jot and tittle” of truth be revealed for all to see in this matter. Let none of the guilty escape.
- “When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” (Proverbs 21:15)

4.Exposed: The Russian Companies That Will Get Billions From New Iran Nuclear Deal (freebeacon.com)
Several of Russia's top state-controlled nuclear companies stand to gain billions of dollars in revenue as part of a new nuclear accord with Iran that will waive sanctions on these firms so that they can build up Tehran's nuclear infrastructure, according to a U.S. government-authored document reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Russia's state-controlled Rosatom energy firm and at least four of its major subsidiaries will receive sanctions waivers under a new accord so that they can complete nuclear projects in Iran worth more than $10 billion, according to the 2019 document, which details all the Russian entities involved in these projects.
- Lord, we pray that this agreement will not go through, and will not benefit any wicked regime.
- "But test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22)

5. Senate GOP vows to rein in Biden if they win majority | The Hill
Senate Republicans are vowing to push President Biden toward the center if they win back the majority in November, setting the stage for possible high-profile clashes next year.
Republicans are feeling optimistic about their chances in November as Biden has struggled to get a boost in the polls, even as Senate Republicans navigate primary election landmines of their own.
The GOP message is an early warning sign of the potential gridlock, and headaches, Biden could face in the second half of his term, particularly if Democrats lose both the House and Senate.
“If Joe Biden is confronted with a Republican majority in both chambers, I’ve always thought that the onus is really on him. Because it will be a test of just how pragmatic and transactional he can be. … So, I think the test is really on him,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) told The Hill.
- Lord, we cannot put our trust in politicians or political parties. Our trust absolutely must be in You alone.
- “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” (Psalm 20:7)

6. Biden Set To Announce New Crackdown On Gun Rights This Week: Report | The Daily Wire
Democrat President Joe Biden is reportedly set to announce a new crackdown on gun rights this week with one of the most extreme far-left anti-gun activists set to attend the event.
“The Biden administration will come out with its long-awaited ghost gun rule — aimed at reining in privately made firearms without serial numbers that are increasingly cropping up at crime scenes — as soon as Monday,” the Associated Press reported. “The White House has also been weighing naming Steve Dettelbach, a former U.S. attorney from Ohio, to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF.”
- Lord, we ask You to preserve the Second Amendment. We pray for a move of Your Spirit for repentance and new life over all who have been chosen by the Biden administration.
- “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:6-7)

7. Intel Officials Think Putin Has A New Excuse To Meddle In Upcoming US Elections | The Daily Wire
United States intelligence officials reportedly believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the war in Ukraine as an excuse to once again meddle in American politics.
According to a report from the Associated Press, “U.S. intelligence officials think Russian President Vladimir Putin may use the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine as a pretext to order a new interference campaign in American politics.”
According to the report published Saturday, intelligence does not yet suggest that Putin has authorized the same kind of election meddling that the Russians undertook during the 2016 and 2020 Presidential elections in the United States. However, some are concerned that the Russian dictator’s war in Ukraine — along with reports that things are not progressing the way he had hoped — could lead him to move ahead with plans to disrupt elections in retaliation for President Joe Biden’s vocal support and aid to Ukraine.
- Lord we pray that You will erect a hedge of protection around every vulnerable election system in the United States. We plead Your Blood over all true voters, that their votes will count. Let no outside- or inside- influence sway the elections from Your perfect will.
- “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

8. If GOP Wins Senate, Ted Cruz Vows Hearings For ‘The Five’ Aborted Babies In DC – And ‘The Abortion Industry’ At Large | The Daily Wire
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) vowed to hold hearings on behalf of the five babies whose bodies were recovered by pro-life activists from an abortion clinic.
In a letter to Muriel Bowser — the Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C. — Cruz wrote in his capacity as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Constitution that the D.C. Metropolitan Police is obligated to investigate the deaths of the babies.
“It is a clear injustice that these children may have been murdered or aborted in violation of federal law, and that the D.C. government entities that this Congress oversees are unwilling to investigate the circumstance and may instead destroy all evidence,” he wrote. “It appears that the Metropolitan Police Department has assumed the cause and nature of these children’s deaths without an investigation. It has recently been brought to my attention that the D.C. government may incinerate the bodies of these five children without conducting an investigation, without performing any autopsies, and without affording these children a proper, respectful burial.”
- Thank You, Lord for this promise from Senator Cruz. We pray that it will come to pass, that these precious lives will be vindicated and the evil that destroyed them will cease in our land.
- “Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.” (Exodus 23:7)

9. US-based Chinese professor calls on China to invade Taiwan with 'overwhelming troops, firepower' | American Military News
A Chinese professor who works in the U.S. called on China to invade Taiwan with “our overwhelming troops and firepower” last week during a speech in Beijing.
Professor Yi Li spoke to students at the Chaoyang District Party School in Beijing last Friday in which he praised the Russian military strategy in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and suggested it serves as a model for how China can invade and “reunify” with Taiwan, according to his remarks shared on China’s WeChat social media platform
“We need to reunify with Taiwan province as soon as possible with our overwhelming troops and firepower,” Yi said in his speech.
- Lord, we take authority over this man’s words and rebuke them. We bind every thought, word, action or deed that is outside Your perfect will.
- “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:19)

10.Biden Sends Nearly $1 Billion to Afghanistan Since Taliban Takeover - Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish articles
Over two decades the United States and its international partners poured billions in humanitarian aid into Afghanistan. Much of that aid went into the pockets of the Taliban.
After Biden’s retreat, the Taliban have consolidated control over Afghanistan. And over all the hungry children, the girls deprived of an education, and all the other sob stories that kept a river of private charity and taxpayer money flowing into a hellhole in which nothing ever got better.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
At an aid conference hosted by the UN, the UK, Germany and the Islamic terror state of Qatar, which backs the Taliban, $2.4 billion was raised for Afghanistan. The hosts had demanded over $4.4 billion which would have been the largest amount ever raised for any nation.
The Biden administration kicked in another $204 million.
That's on top of the $782 million in "humanitarian aid" allocated to Afghanistan last year since the Taliban took over. This year, Biden signed an executive order allocating $3.5 billion of the Afghan assets held in the Federal Reserve for the same purpose. But even not counting those funds, Biden has dedicated $986 million to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over.
That’s nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money and nearly $4.5 billion in total funds.
The Biden administration keeps insisting that the money won’t go to the Taliban. That’s as plausible as its previous claims that the Afghan government wouldn’t collapse, that if it did we would be ready, and that all Americans would be evacuated before Kabul fell to the enemy.
There’s no one with less credibility on Afghanistan than a member of the Biden administration.
- Lord, our taxpayer money is not getting through to the people who really need it. Simply throwing money at evil is never wisdom. We pray for a Mighty move of Your holy Spirit over Afghanistan, that it would be so powerful that even the Taliban would fall to their knees in repentance.
- “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the word through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17)

11. House GOP Leader Won’t Commit to Biden Impeachment (theepochtimes.com)
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has remained noncommittal when asked about whether Republicans would try to impeach President Joe Biden if they recapture the House in 2022.
If Republicans take over after the midterm elections, McCarthy would be poised to become House speaker. When he was asked about impeaching Biden, he said he doesn’t want to exploit the impeachment process.
“Look, one thing we learned that the Democrats did is they used impeachment for political reasons,” he told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on April 10.
Former President Donald Trump was impeached twice in Democrat-led efforts. However, those impeachments ultimately failed in the Senate.
“We believe in the rule of law,” McCarthy said. “We’re not going to pick and choose just because somebody has power. We’re going to uphold the law. At any time, if someone breaks the law and the ramification becomes impeachment, we would move toward that, but we’re not going to use it for political purposes.”
- Lord, we pray for a flood of wisdom to bring all members of the House and Senate to their knees, and especially House minority leader Kevin McCarthy. Let fear no longer be the ruling plan for anything, and bring truth to the legislative body over us. Let them ask You before doing or not doing anything.
- “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5)

It's Free As Long As You Agree
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, April 11, 2022
Among the myriad of policy dangers revealed by the former occupant of the Oval Office during and after his visit to the White House, one in particular stands out as most perilous to all—Free Speech. In an interview with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, Barack Obama preached about how government control over the internet can defeat, what he called a “demand for crazy” that is spread through misinformation. Just like with any lie, a little bit of truth makes it stronger, and Obama is one of the best in the world at this type of propaganda. He attacked free speech in a chilling manner by lamenting how false information spreads on the internet and that the government needs to regulate this speech.
While it is true that there is a lot of misinformation on the internet and there are crazy claims made by all sides of the political spectrum, Obama signaled the “crazy” he wants to eliminate. As reported by Breitbart News: “Roughly 40 percent of the country appears convinced that the current president was elected fraudulently and that the election was rigged” he claimed, with about 30-35 percent rejecting vaccines for coronavirus which he called a “medical miracle” that had been clinically tested by a billion people.” The clinical tests that Obama is referring to must be the use of an experimental drug on millions of people, who were told that the COVID shot was “safe and effective.” Over 400 scientific studies have been conducted indicating that the shot was neither, and the mounting side effects on vaccinated people also are clear evidence.

Astronomers spot farthest galaxy ever, 13.5B light-years
from Earth
|
|
|
A global team of astronomers has found the most distant space object ever, according to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
It's a distant galaxy called HD1, some 13.5 billion light years away from Earth, with researchers offering two ideas of what, exactly, the galaxy is.
The first paper, published this week in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters, is that HD1 could be creating stars at an astounding rate and could even be home to what's known as Population III stars.
Population III stars are the universe's very first stars, which researchers say have never been seen until now.
The second idea proposed by the team, in another paper published this week in the Astronomical Journal, is that HD1 could hold a supermassive black hole roughly 100 million times the mass of our Sun.
"Answering questions about the nature of a source so far away can be challenging," Fabio Pacucci, lead author of the paper published in MNRASL, said in a press release.

'You're Not Alone': Disneyland Employee Tells Protesters at Disney HQ to 'Stand Up for Righteousness'
|
|
Among those gathered Wednesday to protest The Walt Disney Company at the entertainment brand’s Burbank headquarters was a current Disneyland cast member who voiced her concerns about her employer’s embrace of leftist ideologies. “I’m a cast member here, for Disneyland, actually,” said the woman, speaking alongside rally organizer Sean Feucht from the bed of a truck. “I’ve been with them for quite a long time and it has gotten very political and it’s gotten very hard to be who you are. It’s gotten very hard to be someone who has conservative values.”
The woman, who said she has worked for Disneyland since 2001, spoke directly to her fellow cast members, telling them it is OK to be someone who “believes in the right to choose,” referring to having political opinions that differ from those expressed by top executives within The Walt Disney Company. “It’s OK to stand up for righteousness,” she continued. “[A]ny Disney cast members that are afraid to be bold, that are afraid to be courageous, stand up. It’s OK. You’re not alone.” (CBN) Read More

Holy Week: Walking with Jesus
Tuesday
By Anne Graham Lotz
|
|
|
|
On Tuesday, as Jesus walked back to Jerusalem from Bethany with His disciples, He passed a fig tree. Looking for and expecting to find fruit, He found only leaves. And so, He cursed the tree that was not fulfilling its purpose. When He came to the temple, in essence He also cursed the religious leaders who had the leaves of profession of religion, but no fruit of real faith and righteousness before God. . .
|
|
|
At the conclusion of our reading, on this Tuesday of Holy Week, we would do well to live our lives in the awareness that Jesus also comes to us, looking for and expecting to find, not just the leaves of religious profession or platitudes, but the real fruit of a right relationship with God that produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Jesus is coming! All the signs He gave point to the fact that His coming is soon. When He does come, what will He find in your life? Today, make sure that He will find—not the leaves of religion--but the fruit of a right relationship with God because you have placed your sincere faith in Jesus as your own Savior and your own Lord.
