TODAY'S TOP STORY
U.S. set to lose next war against China, Russia hypersonic missiles; Pentagon said to be “several years behind” both countries 
If Russian President Vladimir Putin decides to send in his 100,000 or so troops massed on the border of Ukraine at any point in the near future following his video chat with our feeble, hapless ‘leader,’ Joe Biden earlier this week, there won’t be much the United States or even NATO can do about it.
 
For one, there is no political will in Europe to fight a third world war in a century, especially with a massive nuclear-armed enemy. For another, the United States, as advanced as our military is, lacks a key weapon that Russia is said to have: Nuclear-armed hypersonic missiles that can travel five-to-seven times the speed of sound.
 
Oh, and ditto for China, should Beijing decide to launch an attack on Taiwan to ‘reunify’ the island democracy with the mainland (never mind that the Chinese nationalists escaped there post-World War II to form their own country after losing a civil war to the Communists).

Bloomberg News reports

They’re so fast, their speed can change the surrounding air molecules. They can carry a nuclear warhead, fly low and be hard to detect. Hypersonic weapons are at the center of escalating competition between the U.S. and China. In an appearance on Bloomberg TV Oct. 27, General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, likened China’s suspected tests of a hypersonic weapons system this summer to a “Sputnik moment,” a reference to the Soviet Union’s pioneering launch of a satellite in 1957, giving it an early lead in the space race and shocking the U.S.

The U.S. and Israel are believed to have the world’s most advanced missile defense systems, but they are not nimble or fast enough to pick off hypersonic weapons, so our national security  is definitely at risk. (Read more) 

- Almighty God, we pray for America to bow their knees before the Lord God and repent of their sins and turn to God the Father of all nations.  This alone will give America the God-given power to win any war against China or Russia.  The guidance and maneuvers of a righteous God against our enemies will make America victorious against any wicked nation.  We pray in the holy Name of Jesus.

- "Wherefore God is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Jesus, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them."  (Hebrews 7:25) 
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Russia says Ukraine could turn into re-run of Cuban missile crisis - The Jerusalem Post

Russia said on Thursday that escalating tensions over Ukraine could lead to a repeat of the Cuban missile crisis, when the world stood on the brink of nuclear war.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the comment when asked by a reporter if the current situation could turn into something resembling the 1962 Cold War standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union.

"You know, it really could come to that," Interfax news agency quoted him as saying. "If things continue as they are, it is entirely possible by the logic of events to suddenly wake up and see yourself in something similar." (Read more)

2. Israel, US Defense Chiefs to Weigh Joint Exercise of Future Attack on Iran - Jewish Press

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz and his American counterpart, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin are meeting on Thursday to discuss a military exercise to prepare for an attack that would destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities if negotiations fail to curb its efforts to develop a military nuclear device, Reuters reported, citing a senior US official.

In late November, Secretary Austin delivered a major policy speech on the Middle East and North Africa, which he opened with the statement: “The United States remains committed to preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. And we remain committed to a diplomatic outcome of the nuclear issue. But if Iran isn’t willing to engage seriously, then we will look at all the options necessary to keep the United States secure.”

The Israeli Air Force is currently preparing for an extensive exercise in which dozens of fighter jets will practice an attack on Iran, Kan 11 News reported on Wednesday. The large-scale exercise will take place this spring over the Mediterranean and Air Force planes will fly at ranges that simulate an attack in Iran. (Read more) 

3.Shin Bet uncovers new Hamas cell in Hebron - report  - The Jerusalem Post

The Shin Bet has uncovered a new Hamas terrorist cell in Hebron, with the members of the cell arrested in recent weeks, according to KAN news.
The cell was planning to conduct shooting attacks and an M16 and cash amount to NIS 17,000 was found in their possession. The cell was being directed by Abdel-Rahman Ghneimat from Turkey. Ghneimat headed the Tzurif terrorist cell which was involved in a number of attacks against Israel, including kidnappings and bombings. (Read more)

4. 58% of Israeli Jews back striking Iran’s nuke program without US consent - The Jerusalem Post
A significant majority of Jewish Israelis, 58%, would support a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities even without a green light from Washington, according to an Israel Democracy Institute report published Wednesday.

That number drops to 51% of Israelis when Israel’s entire population is taken into account, including its significant Arab minority.

Still, for a country that was once ready to downgrade or replace its prime ministers if they did not get along with a US president, and where many security experts consider at least a quiet US “wink” as necessary for an attack on Iran, that the general public feels differently was telling.

5. US Supreme Court justice refers to 'Jewish-Palestinian' conflict - The Jerusalem Post

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett referred to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the "Jewish-Palestinian conflict" during a hearing on a case concerning public funding of religious schools on Wednesday.
"How would you even know if a school taught all religions are bigoted and biased or Catholics are bigoted or, you know, we take a position on the Jewish-Palestinian conflict because of our position on, you know, Jews, right?" said Barrett in a question directed at Maine Chief Deputy Attorney-General. 
The case being heard by the Supreme Court was Carson v. Makin, which centers on Maine's school tuition payment program that excludes schools that promote a faith or belief. Two families sued after they were denied tuition assistance, arguing that the program violates their religious freedom and equal protection rights. (Read more)

The Daily Brief
1. US sees 'urgent' need to boost Taiwan defenses, official says – The Hill
 
The United States sees an "urgent" need to bolster defenses in Taiwan amid worrying signals that China wants to reclaim its island neighbor, according to a top Pentagon official in Asia.

Ely Ratner, the assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs, said at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday that  China is likely preparing to "unify" Taiwan under the People's Republic of China. He called the threat "real and dangerous. Bolstering Taiwan's defenses is an urgent task," Ratner said. "We are modernizing our capabilities, updating U.S. force posture and developing new operational concepts."

Since 1949, Taiwan has been independent from the PRC, but China has recently increased its presence near the Taiwan Strait with aircraft flyovers.  
- Father God, we pray You will stop and/or block the Chinese flyovers near the Taiwan Strait by erasing these from their schedule.  Reduce their ability to control the takeover of Taiwan by an act of divine intervention that will collapse their intentions.  Lord, bring from behind the scenes a mighty force sent from heaven to protect Taiwan from becoming a part of China.  We pray in the mighty Name of Jesus.

- "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."  (Romans 16:20) 

2. Escobar: What Putin Really Told Biden – Zerohedge
 
Russian and US leaders dropped their respective rhetorical gauntlets but nobody really expects Russia to invade Ukraine...
 
So Russian President Vladimir Putin, all by himself, and US President Joe Biden, surrounded by aides, finally had their secret video link conference for two hours and two minutes – with translators placed in different rooms. That was their first serious exchange since they met in person in Geneva last June – the first Russia-US summit since 2018. For global public opinion, led to believe a “war” in Ukraine was all but imminent, what’s left is essentially a torrent of spin.
 
So let’s start with a simple exercise focusing on the key issue of the video link – Ukraine -, contrasting the White House and Kremlin versions of what happened.
 
1a. The White House: Biden made it “clear” to Putin that the US and allies will respond with “decisive economic and other measures” to the military escalation in Ukraine. At the same time, Biden called on Putin to de-escalate around Ukraine and “return to diplomacy”.
       
1b.Kremlin: Putin offered Biden to nullify all restrictions on the functioning of diplomatic missions. He remarked that cooperation between Russia and the US is still in an “unsatisfactory” state. He urged the US not to shift “responsibility on the shoulders of Russia” for the escalation of the situation around Ukraine.
 
2a. The White House: the US will expand military aid to Ukraine if Russia takes steps against it.
  
2b. Kremlin: Putin told Biden that Russia is interested in obtaining legally fixed guarantees excluding NATO’s eastward expansion and the deployment of offensive strike systems in Russia’s neighboring countries.
       
3. The White House: Biden did not give Putin any commitments that Ukraine will remain outside NATO. (Read more)   

- Almighty God, we pray for Your direct and perfect will regarding America and Russia's discussing an invasion of Ukraine.  Bring a close to all the issues and settlements that will bring a peaceful resolution to both countries. In the Name of Jesus we pray.

- "That the Lord thy God may show us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do." (Jeremiah 42:3) 

3. Russia Amasses 175,000 Troops on Ukraine Border: War Expected in January - Israel 365 News
 
U.S. intelligence discovered that Russia is plotting a military assault against Ukraine with 175,000 soldiers near the border as early as January, according to an intelligence report by The Washington Post.

The obtained report points to a Russian plan to deploy 175,000 soldiers to the border with Ukraine by early 2022. The report also features satellite images of the military buildup. According to the document, Moscow has “newly arrived” artillery and tanks. They have also deployed 50 battlefield tactical units. The buildup is currently happening in four separate locations along the border, according to the report.

“The Russian plans call for a military offensive against Ukraine as early as early 2022 with forces two times the size of Moscow’s snap exercise adjacent to Ukraine’s borders,” an administration official reported. “The plans involve extensive movement of 100 battalion tactical groups with an estimated 175,000 personnel, along with armor, artillery, and equipment.” (Read more)   
- Almighty God, we pray for protection of Ukraine that they be not swallowed up by the Russian troops.  Guide the United States whether to get involved in this expected war and the possibility of American troops being in a war against Russia. Give great wisdom to our military getting involved in this complicated battle.  We pray in the Name of Jesus.

- "The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear Him, and delivers them."   (Psalm 34:7)

4. Senate Blocks Biden’s Vaccine Mandate for Private Businesses – The Epoch Times

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday narrowly voted to block President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the private sector.
 
In a 52-48 vote, mainly along party lines, the Senate voted to pass a resolution of disapproval of the rule submitted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is overseen by the Department of Labor. 
 

All 50 Republicans in the upper chamber joined with Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to challenge the measure under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows Congress to review and, if necessary, overturn new regulations put into place by federal offices such as OSHA.  Two Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana, joined the Republicans in voting to overturn the vaccine mandate. (Read more)  

- Lord God, we pray that Biden's vaccine mandate that was overturned be honored and stand as voted.  In Jesus' Name we pray.

5. Earthquake Swarm Hits Off Oregon Coast, Causing Fears Of 'The Next Big One' - Zerohedge 
 
The Blanco Transform Fault Zone (BTFZ) off Oregon's coast, one of North America's most active fault lines, generated 50 earthquakes in the last 24 hours. 

The quake swarm hit 200-250 miles west of Newport, Oregon, and ranged between magnitude 3.5 to 5.8. The area's seismic activity has generated a lot of buzz on social media, of worried people believing the next big one could be nearing. 

"If you had asked me yesterday where on Earth would be most likely to produce a bunch of magnitude 5.0+ quakes in a single day, this would have been high on my list," Harold Tobin, Director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at the University of Washington, told CNN
 
BTFZ is a strike-slip boundary which means tectonic plates slide along one another. The most dangerous are the subduction zones, where one plate dives underneath another. 
(Read more)  
- Almighty God, this location on the earth is in great need for the protection of our God.  This is in Your hands, and we ask that there be an assembly of prayer warriors who will call out to God to save them from sudden destruction.  We pray that the hands of the Lord guide these tectonic plates that slide along one another or dive underneath another.  You are God over all and we trust You to save souls and lives.  In the Name of Jesus.

6Small Businesses Faced With Skyrocketing Shipping Costs—If They Can Even Buy What They Need – The Epoch Times
 
Christmas means more than presents, but some of the gifts that celebrate the season will be sadly lacking this year.
 
According to businesses across the country, supply chain issues and government regulations have made it difficult to get goods for Christmas. The worst problem for businesses is the shipping cost, several local business owners said.

Stores that rely on overseas goods face an extremely challenging situation, said Jeremy and Rebecca Berlin, the owners of Bella Balsamic in Punta Gorda, Fla. The pair have spent a decade in business in Florida selling olive oils and balsamics imported from Europe. (Read more) 

- Great Father God, we pray You will guide all shoppers for Christmas presents this year, to be very understandable that the shipping situation was controlled by the government and happily be thankful for the Christ of the Christmas season.  Merry Christmas to all.  In Jesus' Name.

7. New York Hospital Fires 100 Unvaccinated Employees Who Received Religious Exemptions – Resist the Mainstream

More than 100 employees at Kaleida Health found that their previously approved religious exemptions for the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate did not ensure job security. A statement from Kaleida Health read: “In accordance with New York State’s vaccine mandate guidelines for healthcare personnel, Kaleida Health today terminated approximately 100 employees who had previously been granted a religious exemption and chose not to receive their initial vaccination dose by the State’s deadline of Sunday, December 5, 2021.”

Some say the statement read like a page from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” a reference to the cold dealings of Ebenezer Scrooge. (Read more)  

- Almighty God, we pray You will close down Kaleida Health by the mighty power of God for their evil action of terminating approximately 100 employees who had been granted religious exemptions from receiving the vaccination dose.  Father God, stand with those who have been terminated and supply them with more excellent employment. We pray in the Name of Jesus.

- "Son of man, when the land sins against us by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famines upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it." (Ezekiel 14:13) 

 8. Germany, Australia creating “quarantine camps,” some located within prisons – Pandemic.news

German and Australian governments have made a move to place people in government “isolation” facilities that look similar to concentration camps as they continue to ramp up the use of forced quarantine centers to stop the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

A recent survey  by a German newspaper found that at least 15 people have been taken into quarantine facilities in some of the largest cities since the beginning of the year. The individuals, who were said to have violated home isolation requirements, include 11 from Munich, two from Stuttgart and one each from Dusseldorf and Frankfurt.

The number is likely higher, however, as cities like Berlin and Leipzig have not submitted their numbers

 to the paper. Some of these quarantine facilities are located within prisons. “Most of the federal states have closed areas in hospitals or prisons for quarantine breakers. In Eisenhuttenstadt, Brandenburg, refusals were last housed in a former deportation detention center, in North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, in a Solingen clinic,” the news outlet said. (Read more) 

Almighty God, the farther men get from God, the more mankind falls prey to evil.  God, we pray for the lives of all these people who have fallen into the hands of the dark side.  We pray for their soon release and the saving of their souls to believe in Jesus as Savior.  Save their lives from these bizarre, WW II Nazi practices.   In the Name of Jesus we pray.

- "Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert."  (Psalm 28:4) 

9. THE HOLOCAUST RETURNS: EU wants to abolish Nuremberg Code, reconstitute medical fascism with forced covid “vaccination” – Pandemic.news
It is about to be a very dark winter for Europe (and probably the rest of the world, too) now that the European Union has decided to impose total medical fascism on Europeans.
 
As we reported reptilian European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen is talking about forcing Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” on all of Europe, which some are calling a reconstitution of 1940s medical fascism and the abolishment of the Nuremberg Code.
 
Ursula’s husband Heiko, by the way, is the director of the United States-based biotechnology company Orgenesis, which just so happens to specialize in medical research that involves “cell and gene therapies.”
 
In other words, Ursula and her husband get filthy rich the more injections are jammed into people’s bodies, against their will if necessary. And now Ursula is planning a major expansion of her bank account with proposed mandatory jabs for all of Europe. (Read more)   

- Almighty God,  we now engage in determined intercession for Europe and possibly all the world regarding this EU forced Covid vaccination, which imposes total medical fascism.   God, we bind and break the power of this forced vaccination by the Blood of Jesus, and claim liberation for all the world against this Chinese and European control.  Cut off the head of this serpentillian spirit, by the Blood of Jesus.  We pray in Jesus' Name.

- "And they overcame him by the Blood of Jesus, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death."  (Revelation 12:11) 

10. Doctor who pioneered COVID HCQ protocol urges ‘resistance against governmental tyranny’- Lifesite news

Don’t live in fear, don’t live in isolation, [and] don’t take the poison death shot,' Dr. Zelenko said.  

Dr. Vladamir Ze’ev Zelenko, who is credited with pioneering the early treatment protocol for COVID-19 involving hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and zinc sulfate, recently became very candid with regards to the entire COVID-19 enterprise, the perilous situation the people of the world are facing, and his call for the “God-conscious” to resist rapidly advancing government and media tyranny.

Candor is not a quality that Zelenko has lacked over the last 21 months since he wrote an open letter to President Donald Trump announcing his treatment protocol for the novel disease. An Orthodox Jew, Zelenko has spoken freely not only about his successful early treatments for COVID-19 but his theological understanding of the conflict between good and evil throughout human history, and even his own spiritual struggles, including God’s hand in his life.

In a March interview with Dr. Peter Breggin, Zelenko explained to his more secular host that history itself is marked by a struggle “between people trying to live a God conscious or centered life,” and others who “have always attempted to be god-like” and wanting “to have global control over the rest of humanity.” (Read more)   

- Father God, we ask that everyone will become aware of Dr. Zelenko's tried and true treatment, as given in this article.  We agree that NO FEAR will rest upon us regarding this virus, and its various lines. We ask for the God-conscious treatment mentioned in this article to fall upon each one of us, giving us a new perspective and HOPE for our future.  We pray in the Name of Jesus.

- "And we give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which are, and was and are to come; because you have taken to You Your great power, and have reigned."   (Revelation 11:17)

COVID Deaths Under Biden Surpass Those
Under Trump

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, December 9, 2021

A milestone of the Biden presidency has been established, and it’s not a good one. COVID related deaths under the Biden Administration’s first 10 months have surpassed those of former President Trump’s last 12 months when inoculations against the contagion were unavailable. According to statistics kept by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, some 396,529 people in the US have died from COVID under Joe Biden, before he has even reached his 11th month in office, eclipsing the entire US COVID death toll of 396,442 recorded in one year under Trump. Biden campaigned against Trump saying that anyone responsible for that many deaths should not remain President.

Armed with a “vaccine,” CDC- and MSC- mandated treatment protocols, FDA backing, unconstitutional mandates, and the bully pulpit hand-feeding a biased news media bent on censoring and demonizing dissent as “misinformation,” the Biden Administration has failed to defeat or even curb this contagion. What is it they say about the definition of insanity—doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results? That’s what is happening right now. Instead of ridiculing effective treatments and blaming the unvaccinated for not going along with unconstitutional government mandates, the Biden Administration should be marshalling the strength of all medical modalities to develop a safe and effective cure for COVID.

US Supreme Court justice refers to 'Jewish-Palestinian' conflict

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett referred to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the "Jewish-Palestinian conflict" during a hearing on a case concerning public funding of religious schools on Wednesday.

"How would you even know if a school taught all religions are bigoted and biased or Catholics are bigoted or, you know, we take a position on the Jewish-Palestinian conflict because of our position on, you know, Jews, right?" said Barrett in a question directed at Maine Chief Deputy Attorney-General. 

The case being heard by the Supreme Court was Carson v. Makin, which centers on Maine's school tuition payment program that excludes schools that promote a faith or belief. Two families sued after they were denied tuition assistance, arguing that the program violates their religious freedom and equal protection rights.

The tuition program helps students who live in rural areas without access to public schools to receive a subsidy to attend a private school, as long as it is "nonsectarian," which has been used to exclude religious schools.

The petitioners claim that this distinction lacks a basis as barring funds to students who wish to learn at religious schools would discriminate not only against religious use of funds but also against the religious status which impels the religious use. They argue that the framers of the Constitution were aiming to protect religious "exercise," not just "religious belief."

The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment of the US Constitution "protects citizens' right to practice their religion as they please, so long as the practice does not run afoul of a 'public morals' or a 'compelling' governmental interest," according to the United States Court's website.

A number of Jewish organizations have filed legal opinions, known as amicus curiae, in the case in favor of forcing the State of Maine to provide the program for religious schools as well. (The Jerusalem Post) Read more. 
- Father God, we pray that the light of Christ, our Savior, would guide these justices as they write their opinions, defending the free exercise of religion in the State of Maine.

- "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21)

Earthquakes Today: latest quakes worldwide:
past 24 hours, Thursday, Dec 9, 2021
During the past 24 hours, there were 1 quake of magnitude 6.0, 5 quakes between 5.0 and 6.0, 53 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 124 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 280 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 466 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.

Biggest quake today: 6.0 quake East China Sea, 120 km north of Naze, Amami Shi, Kagoshima, Japan, Dec 9, 2021 11:05 am (GMT +9) 13 hours ago

Most recent quake: 2.7 quake North Pacific Ocean, 30 mi southeast of Pāhala, Hawaii County, USA, Dec 9, 2021 4:48 am (GMT -10) 15 minutes ago

Why are we having so many earthquakes? Has naturally occurring earthquake activity been increasing? Does this mean a big one is going to hit? OR We haven't had any earthquakes in a long time; does this mean that the pressure is building up for a big one?

A temporary increase or decrease in seismicity is part of the normal fluctuation of earthquake rates. Neither an increase nor decrease worldwide is a positive indication that a large earthquake is imminent.

The ComCat earthquake catalog contains an increasing number of earthquakes in recent years--not because there are more earthquakes, but because there are more seismic instruments and they are able to record more earthquakes.

The National Earthquake Information Center now locates about 20,000 earthquakes around the globe each year, or approximately 55 per day. As a result of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in natural disasters, the public now learns about earthquakes more quickly than ever before. Read More   World Map

The Good News Corner
Texas Offers a Glimpse of Life After Overturning Roe: Babies are Being Saved, Women are Doing Just Fine

Americans do not have to guess what the United States would look like if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

They just need to look to Texas where almost all unborn babies have been protected from abortions for months, NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth pointed out in a new report.

The Texas heartbeat law has been in effect since Sept. 1, saving thousands of unborn babies by banning abortions once their heartbeat is detectable, and, with the U.S. Supreme Court reconsidering Roe in a Mississippi abortion case this week, many hope other states could be allowed to ban abortions soon, too.

“What we’ve experienced the past three months in Texas is a preview of a post-Roe world,” John Seago, legislative director of Texas Right to Life, told NBC 5.

If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, Seago said the whole U.S. could look a lot like Texas where many women are being supported and empowered to choose life for their unborn babies, and some are traveling to other states where abortions remain legal.

“You will have conservative states that take very bold pro-life laws to protect pregnant women and innocent children from abortion,” he told the news outlet. “And then you have states that become destination states where people are traveling.” (Read more here)

Day #20: The 6th Vial Judgment ~ Ugly As a Toad
TODAY'S REPENTANCE REFLECTION:
Judgment Vial #6 ~ Boiling Point

Did you ever put a pot of water on the stove and let it boil down by accident? Perhaps you fell asleep in front of the TV or you simply forgot that you wanted to make some tea. Either way, by the time you came to your senses, it is too late. That water is all gone and there is nothing left but a scorched mess. If you were lucky, perhaps the whistle brought you out of your stupor.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
~1 Peter 5:8 (NLT)

I think this well describes how the world arrives at Vial #6. Most people are not "paying attention." In an earlier article on Judgment Trumpet #6, we posted a recent news article about the Euphrates drying out. This is a serious crisis going on NOW...not in some distant future! Today, we see Judgment Vial #6 brings us to a COMPLETE drying of the Euphrates. It is this total dryness that brings on the lying frogs which emanate from the mouths of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear 

To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE

Words: Edmund Sears
Music: Richard Willis

Scripture: There were…shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 
Luke 2:8–9

Lyrics:
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From Heaven’s all gracious king.

The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever over its Babel sounds
The blessèd angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing.

And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
