Ex-Obama Official Suggests ‘Military Coup’ Against Trump

"In a blog post for Foreign Policy magazine, Rosa Brooks, a former Obama administration official, outlined four ways to “get rid” of President Trump, including declaring him mentally unfit for command or carrying out a military coup. Brooks is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation, which is funded by billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. She served from 2009-2011 as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and served as a senior adviser at Obama’s State Department."

And a large portion of citizens in America are most assuredly buying into all this just as expected because that's what sheeple do. Truth is, this is what happens when the TV becomes a god in the houses of the people who refuse to think for themselves. They trust it and everything it says regardless of how fictitious it may be. Case in point: How many people believe the conspiracy plot lines of some Hollywood movies as if they are true directly after watching the movie? Not to mention how Hollywood also manipulates the minds of million in other less political ways. This is why everything from women wearing men's clothing to promiscuity, be it heterosexual or homosexual has become the norm in America. Once it hits the big screen it becomes the new fad of the day.
Seeing how the American people have proven to be the very sheeple who will do whatever a Hollywood actor suggests no matter how immoral, things are about to get much worse. And by the way, 100% of all actors speak Satan's native tongue. That being "lies" of course. (See John 8:44) In other words, to be a professional actor is to be a professional liar. Fiction is nothing more than a lie no matter how you slice it. And so it was bound to happen this way. When you bow to Satan and allow him carte blanche in society the people in that society will be puppets in the hands of Satan. That means, since the powers that be in America want civil war and anarchy to break out so as to enforce martial law wherein all freedoms are removed; they (the leaders) will not only gain more power but will be protected like the Nazi leaders were when they locked down the people in their nation. You need to keep in mind our political leaders are very fearful people and they know they are greatly outnumbered and so, martial law not only grants them more protection against 300+ million angry citizens, it allows for the permanent Socialist format Rome has been demanding all along.

And just so you know… civil war will not come from what this ex-Obama official suggests, even though we already see citizens attacking each other on camera in these bought and paid for riots. And yes, some may think the war has already begun as far our political leaders are concerned because of how without any consideration for those in the line of fire they continue to push this kind of behavior on.

All we see here is Satan's long used hellish approach towards a prophesied end. What I mean is, just as we see him pushing bloody violence in sports, Hollywood movies and even music to build up his troops for Armageddon so as to have complacent killers to surround the Gideon Band, all we see with this constant political upheaval in the News is a readying of the people to consider bloodshed as an option and then literally cause civil war by seeding their minds with the idea that it would be proper and even necessary to calm their well-indoctrinated hearts. Only when that day comes, and it will soon and  it won't be for political reasons even though it was the politics of the day that caused it to happen. What I mean is, they can cause all sorts of political problems across the board they want. It's bad. Yes, but not bad enough for your neighbor to seek your life for the benefit of his family. But once they mess with the economy wherein the rich can only afford the food on the store shelves, the politically brainwashed starving masses will storm their local government offices and blood will begin to flow in civil war.  Now do you see why we have so many concentration camps aka FEMA camps on u US soil? It's not only been planned for – it was prophesied!

#7 Animals of all sorts to die right before the end
"Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." -Hosea 4:1-3

Here's something that was not shared in my book "People Get Ready" when I originally wrote it a few years ago as it was not revealed to God's people as of yet. This is one of the prophetic events that John 14:29 speaks of wherein it says, "And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe."

Quite often, some prophetic events are not fully understood until after they are fulfilled. This not only keeps the people of God in the Word daily seeking out coming events, as well as the Father's will in their lives, it glorifies the Lord and His Word when such things do happen as He predicted long ago. As for this prophecy, very few of us have to be convinced as to its fulfillment. On my site I have a page titled "Strange Wildlife Deaths" wherein I list the mass deaths of birds, fish, whales, dolphins, turtles, cows, horses, crocodiles, lambs, buffalo, and even bees! To name just a few of the more shocking, I would like to share a few headlines. And by the way, this may seem like a large list I am about to share. But if you go to the aforementioned page, you will see it's just a fraction of what I have listed.

•22 sperm whales die in Australia •6 million fish, 1000s of alligators, and dolphins killed (Bolivia) •100 Tons of Fish Die Near Brazil •Mystery virus kills thousands of sheep •Thousands of fish and birds wash up dead on the Canada shore of Lake Erie •40,000 crabs join slew of animal-death mysteries (England) •Schmallenberg livestock virus hits 74 farms in England •Ocean life on the brink of mass extinction: study

Question: "How did God multiple the people with just Adam & Eve?" Did their sons & daughters marry and have children? I was not sure how to answer the question and I explained that Adam & Eve were the 1st humans God created and I'm sure He created more people the same way He created Adam & Eve. Is that the correct answer?

ANSWER:
Things were more perfect back then, and things like mutation wouldn’t be an issue as we see it to be today with inbreeding. Adam and Eve lived hundreds of years as did their children because the environment as well as their diet was perfect. There is no definite statement in Scripture that says their kids married each other, but as we look at the lineage of the children in Genesis we see that yes, it is obvious they married their brothers and sisters. Yes, it seems strange today, but the Lord obviously allowed it and hid the strangeness from them so as to populate the earth. In fact, in our day even cousins marrying seems strange, but after the flood this too was allowed so as to repopulate. Truth is, the Israelites always commanded their children to seek spouses within their tribes, or families.

 

Question: We know our Father talked directly to people in the beginning (some). Then when Jesus came upon the earth (birth), He also talked, healed and ministered to people here. So here is my question -when we talk or pray to our heavenly Father we end in Jesus Christ’s name amen but when I wish to talk with Jesus about His life here and how sad it makes me of how He was treated or giving thanks for His redeeming love gift or etc then how do we end the prayer or talk with Him? I end it in Jesus Christ’s name but it just doesn't sound right. So is this right or how should we end a prayer or when we just talk to our Lord and Saviour amen.

ANSWER:
When we say “in Jesus name” we are actually ending the prayer with a statement declaring our character is like unto Christ’s and because of His righteousness we have confidence of faith that our prayers are heard. So, praying to Jesus or the Father, or even the Spirit can be ended in the same way as far as I can see

Question:In what old testament verse was the resurrection of Jesus Christ mentioned?

ANSWER:
Psalms 16:10, "For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."

ABYSSINIA
"In the last half of that century St. Ambrose of Milan stated officially that the Abyssinian bishop, Museus, had 'traveled almost everywhere in the country of the Seres' (China). For more than seventeen centuries the Abyssinian Church continued to sanctify Saturday as the holy day of the fourth commandment." Ambrose, DeMoribus, Brachmanorium Opera Ominia, 1132, found in Migne, Patrologia Latima, Vol.17, pp.1131,1132.

ARABIA, PERSIA, INDIA, CHINA
"Mingana proves that in 370 A.D. Abyssinian Christianity (a Sabbath keeping church) was so popular that its famous director, Musacus, travelled extensively in the East promoting the church in Arabia, Persia, India and China." "Truth Triumphanat,"p.308 (Footnote 27).

ITALY - MILAN
"Ambrose, the celebrated bishop of Milan, said that when he was in Milan he observed Saturday, but when in Rome observed Sunday. This gave rise to the proverb, 'When you are in Rome, do as Rome does.'" Heylyn, "The History of the Sabbath" (1612)

SPAIN - COUNCIL ELVIRA (A.D.305)
Canon 26 of the Council of Elvira reveals that the Church of Spain at that time kept Saturday, the seventh day. "As to fasting every Sabbath: Resolved, that the error be corrected of fasting every Sabbath." This resolution of the council is in direct opposition to the policy the church at Rome had inaugurated, that of commanding Sabbath as a fast day in order to humiliate it and make it repugnant to the people.

SPAIN
It is a point of further interest to note that in north-eastern Spain near the city of Barcelona is a city called Sabadell, in a district originaly inhabited. By a people called both "Valldenses" and Sabbatati."

PERSIA - A.D. 335-375 (40 YEARS PERSECUTION UNDER SHAPUR II)
The popular complaint against the Christians-"They despise our sungod, they have divine services on Saturday, they desecrate the sacred the earth by burying their dead in it." Truth Triumphant," p.170.

PERSIA - A.D.335-375
"They despise our sun-god. Did not Zorcaster, the sainted founder of our divine beliefs, institute Sunday one thousand years ago in honour of the sun and supplant the Sabbath of the Old Testament. Yet these Christians have divine services on Saturday." O'Leary, "The Syriac Church and Fathers," pp.83, 84.

COUNCIL LAODICEA - A.D.365
"Canon 16-On Saturday the Gospels and other portions of the Scripture shall be read aloud." "Canon 29-Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day; but the Lord's day they shall especially honor, and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day." Hefele's "Councils," Vol. 2, b. 6.

Sabbath Observance Through The Centuries - The Fifth Century A.D.
THE WORLD
"For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrated the sacred mysteries (the Lord's Supper) on the Sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Allexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, refuse to do this." The footnote which accompanies the foregoing quotation explains the use of the word "Sabbath." It says: "That is, upon the Saturday. It should be observed, that Sunday is never called "the Sabbath' by the ancient Fathers and historians." Sacrates, "Ecclestical History," Book 5, chap. 22, p. 289.

CONSTANTINOPLE
"The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria." Socrates, "Ecclesiastical History," Book 7, chap.19.

THE WORLD - AUGUSTINE, BISHOP OF HIPPO (NORTH AFRICA)
Augustine shows here that the Sabbath was observed in his day "in the greater part of the Christian world," and his testimony in this respect is all the more valuable because he himself was an earnest and consistent Sunday-keeper. See "Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers," 1st Series, Vol.1, pp. 353, 354.

POPE INNOCENT (402-417)
Pope Sylvester (314-335) was the first to order the churches to fast on Saturday, and Pope Innocent (402-417) made it a binding law in the churches that obeyed him, (In order to bring the Sabbath into disfavour.) "Innocentius did ordain the Saturday or Sabbath to be always fasted." Dr. Peter Heylyn, "History of the Sabbath, Part 2, p. 44.

THROUGH THE FIFTH CENTURY A.D.
Down even to the fifth century the observance of the Jewish Sabbath was continued in the Christian church. "Ancient Christianity Exemplified," Lyman Coleman, ch. 26, sec. 2, p. 527.

In Jerome's day (420 A.D.) the devoutest Christians did ordinary work on Sunday. "Treatise of the Sabbath Day," by Dr. White, Lord Bishop of Ely, p. 219.

FRANCE
"Wherefore, except Vespers and Nocturns, there are no public services among them in the day except on Saturday (Sabbath) and Sunday." John Cassian, A French monk, "Institutes," Book 3, ch. 2.

AFRICA
"Augustine deplored the fact that in two neighbouring churches in Africa one observes the seventh-day Sabbath, another fasted on it." Dr. Peter Heylyn, "The History of the Sabbath." p. 416.

Vatican Expresses Concerns Over ‘Spread of Nationalism, Populism’

"The Cardinal also recalled recent comments by Pope Francis, saying that “there is a risk of history repeating itself.” In a lengthy interview with the Spanish daily El País in late January, Pope Francis was asked whether he was concerned about the spread of a populism that capitalizes on “people’s fears,” preaching “a message of hate.” In his reply, Francis distinguished between a good, grassroots populism, where it is the people who are “the protagonists,” and a cult of personality where a charismatic figure like Hitler rises to power and is welcomed as a savior figure."

Ironic, don't you think? A Jesuit Pope who took the bloodcurdling Jesuit oath uses Roman Catholic emperor Adolph Hitler as his example of what can happen when such a political monster, which by the way his very own papal predecessor funded, puffed up and installed as emperor. But because most people are purposely dumbed down all over the world on Scripture as well as historic facts, they don't realize how he's playing both ends against us in the middle.

And as for his claims of history repeating itself, it's obvious that he seeks to make the case (using the same fear he condemns) that we will see another Hitler if the people don't stop distrusting him and his cohorts when in fact I can't help believe that he made the statement because of his inherent fear that yes history will repeat itself and like his office saw in 1798 when Napoleon came as prophesied to pull the Pope from power, Francis no doubt fears the same will happen to him. And so to hide his fear he claims we have fear of a possible Hitler coming to power. How do I know this is in his mind? Besides the fact that his Vatican is prophesied to soon burn to ash, his use of the word "populism" confirms he, being one of the "elite" he speaks of, fears that the people will eventually revolt. The word populism is defined as "a political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite."

The fact that the people have wised up (if only in the secular sense) to the fact that the powers that be have gone far beyond simple corruption to downright political insanity proves he and the fearful Congressmen in the USA are scared out of their wits that the people will surround them and revolt. Hence the reason for the talking points on martial law as well as the bold delivery of military tanks to every city in America. But nothing says it more boldly and succinct than the present Pope's well-documented agenda towards a New World Order that is obviously based on a Roman Catholic form of Socialism. And yes, that is the exact same format Hitler used in his day!
