COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many cities full of violence in the USA and two have been in the news a lot the last several days:<\/p>\n

August 31, 2020<\/p>\n

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said in a statement late Sunday that everyone, including elected officials, law enforcement and community leaders, needs to come together to stop the cycle of violence in Portland, and that \u201creal change will come from the hard work to achieve racial justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown announced the Oregon State Police will be sending officers to Portland to free up local investigators to \u201carrest and charge those engaging in violent acts,\u201d and will hold a public forum with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, protest organizers and community leaders.<\/p>\n

She also criticized the actions of \u201carmed right-wing vigilantes\u201d who have confronted protesters in various U.S. cities, a day after a deadly shooting that followed clashes between supporters of President Donald Trump and counter-protesters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe right-wing group Patriot Prayer and self-proclaimed militia members drove into downtown Portland last night, armed and looking for a fight,\u201d Brown said in a statement. \u00a0\u201cEvery Oregonian has the right to freely express their views without fear of deadly violence. I will not allow Patriot Prayer and armed white supremacists to bring more bloodshed to our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

A police statement said officers heard gunfire Saturday night and found a white man dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. Witnesses said the man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group based in Washington state that has previously clashed with protesters.<\/p>\n

The Oregonian<\/em> newspaper, citing sources familiar with the case, said police are investigating a 48-year-old man who has self-identified as anti-fascist and posted about attending protests in Portland during the past few months. …<\/p>\n

After Trump called Wheeler, a Democrat, a \u201cfool\u201d and blamed him for the \u201cgreat death and destruction\u201d in the liberal city, Wheeler, who was visibly angry, addressed Trump through the TV cameras, calling his comments \u201cclassic Trump.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Voters \u201cwon\u2019t be safe in Joe Biden\u2019s America,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

Biden is set to respond with an address Monday in Pennsylvania that his campaign said will focus on the question: \u201cAre you safe in Donald Trump\u2019s America?\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden told MSNBC last week that Trump views the street violence \u201cas a political benefit to him. He\u2019s rooting for more violence, not less.\u201d<\/p>\n

A top Trump administration official, acting Homeland Security chief Chad Wolf, on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week\u201d show, blamed the extended violence in Portland on state and local officials for \u201cnot allowing law enforcement to do their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe violence needs to end,\u201d Wolf said. He said the federal government continues to offer law enforcement assistance to Portland beyond previously sending in troops that subsequently were withdrawn.<\/p>\n

Trump retweeted a video showing the caravan of his supporters driving into Portland, calling them \u201cGreat Patriots.\u201d On CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation\u201d show, Wolf rejected a suggestion that by applauding the parade of vehicles, Trump heightened tensions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d Wolf said.<\/p>\n

The Portland shooting was the latest incident stemming from racial unrest across the United States …<\/p>\n

On August 23, a white police officer in Kenosha shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, seven times in the back while trying to arrest him in connection with a domestic dispute, spawning several nights of protests, in one of which two people were shot dead and another wounded. https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/usa\/oregon-governor-urges-end-cycle-violence-portland<\/a><\/p>\n

August 31, 2020<\/p>\n

\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Democrats accused President Donald Trump of trying to inflame racial tensions and incite violence to benefit his campaign after he praised supporters who clashed with protesters during a deadly night in Portland, Oregon. and announced he will travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, amid anger over the shooting of another Black man by police.<\/p>\n

Trump unleashed a flurry of tweets and retweets the day after a man identified as a supporter<\/a> of a right-wing group was shot and killed<\/a> in Portland. The city has been the site of months of daily protests, and a large caravan of Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed Saturday night. Trump praised the caravan participants as \u201cGREAT PATRIOTS!\u201d and retweeted what appeared to be the dead man\u2019s name along with a message to \u201cRest in peace.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, blamed Trump for the tensions.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence?\u201d he asked at a televised news conference. \u201cIt\u2019s you who have created the hate and the division.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Trump is expected to continue to hit that theme when he travels Tuesday to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where tensions are still raw after police shot Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, in the back seven times, leaving him paralyzed. The shooting has ignited new demonstrations against racial injustice and police brutality months after George Floyd\u2019s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer touched off a wider reckoning on race.<\/p>\n

Trump will be meeting with law enforcement officers and \u201csurveying\u201d the damage in the city, where businesses have been vandalized and some buildings burned during demonstrations, White House spokesman Judd Deere announced.<\/p>\n

But Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, asked Trump to reconsider in a letter Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, along with other community leaders who have reached out, are concerned about what your presence will mean for Kenosha and our state. I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together,\u201d Evers wrote.<\/p>\n

Earlier Sunday, Rep. Karen Bass, a California Democrat who leads the Congressional Black Caucus, said Trump is \u201cdoing everything he can to fan the flames.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think his visit has one purpose, and one purpose only. And that is to agitate things and to make things worse,\u201d Bass said Sunday on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d \u201cIt is clear his campaign is all about law and order. It is a throwback to the past. And he\u2019s going to do everything to disrupt law and order in this time period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deere responded to the critics saying, \u201cThe only people to blame for the violence and riots in our streets are liberal politicians and their incompetent policies that have failed to get control of these destructive situations.\u201d https:\/\/apnews.com\/4bde49e663d522c05e58b1758781874e<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let me add that yesterday, we saw a group of supposedly BLM protesters in San Luis Obispo. The reason for the term “supposedly” is because of the 50 or so I saw, none were of obvious African-American heritage.<\/p>\n

I have long written that the USA would have violent civil unrest and possibly civil war. Yes, expect more civil unrest and riots in the USA.<\/p>\n

Currently, the mainstream media (which in my view has been heavily pushing a division agenda for many years), tends to blame the US President for most of the division, without looking in the mirror (e.g. AP: At Mount Rushmore, Trump digs deeper into nation\u2019s divisions<\/a>).<\/p>\n

That does not mean that I do not consider that Donald Trump is divisive. He often is.<\/p>\n

Notice something I warned about here in September 2016:<\/p>\n

For years I have warned that more civil unrest was coming to the USA. We have already seen a re-emergence of civil unrest already in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n

That does not mean that I agree that globalists will necessarily trigger it, etc. But the media certainly has fanned the flames in the past and I expect them to do more such fanning in the future if Donald Trump were to win. (Thiel B. \u2018Chaos will erupt across America in less than 100 days\u2026 no matter who wins the election\u2019.<\/a> COGwriter, September 5, 2016)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice, also, something related to that in my book Donald Trump and America\u2019s Apocalypse<\/a>:<\/p>\n

For one prophetic example, on September 5, 2016, I warned that the media would fan the flames for civil unrest if Donald Trump were elected. The morning after his election I warned that we would see civil unrest. Less than 24 hours later, tens of thousands, of various backgrounds, were protesting (Blau M, et al. Protesters target Trump buildings in massive street rallies. CNN, November 10, 2016 ) and certain ones in the media helped fan those flames of those protests. Expect more protests against Donald Trump. (Thiel B. Donald Trump and America\u2019s Apocalypse<\/a>. Nazarene Books, 2017, pp. 15-16)<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has been a polarizing figure and has offended many including minorities and Muslims. Expect civil unrest and rioting. The Bible prophesies \u201cThere shall be terror within\u201d (Deuteronomy 32:25). (Thiel B. Donald Trump and America\u2019s Apocalypse<\/a>. Nazarene Books, 2017, p. 86)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, that has happened.<\/p>\n

Now consider that Jesus said:<\/p>\n

\n

4 \u201cTake heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, \u2018I am the Christ,\u2019 and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet<\/strong>. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.<\/strong> (Matthew 24:4-8)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We are in the \u2018beginning of sorrows.\u2019 The first horseman of the Apocalypse spreading a false interfaith and ecumenical gospel has been becoming more and more prominent on the world scene the past several years–and we also have seen a certain taking of peace from the earth within the past year (watch also Sorrows and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Here is number 7 from my article 20 items to prophetically watch in 2020<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

7. Strife and the Red Horse of War<\/h2>\n

Notice the following:<\/p>\n

3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, \u201cCome and see.\u201d 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. (Revelation 6:3-4)<\/p>\n

Somewhat paralleling the ride of the second horseman of Revelation 6:3-4, Jesus warned about wars and disturbances:<\/p>\n

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. (Matthew 24:6-7a)<\/p>\n

\u201cNation \u2026 against nation\u201d is literally \u201cethnos \u2026 against ethnos\u201d in the original Greek. Notice how the Orthodox Jewish Bible translates the first half of Matthew 24:7:<\/p>\n

For there will be an intifada of ethnic group against ethnic group, \u2026<\/p>\n

We expect to see more wars, rumors of war, and civil unrest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It should be noted that the opening of this second seal for the red horseman\u2019s ride IS NOT the Great Tribulation, as that does not begin until the 5th seal of Revelation is opened (Revelation 6:9). But more and more it looks like peace is being taken away from the earth (watch also Sorrows and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Jesus said that before the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21), that we are to expect wars, rumors of wars, and various sorrows (Matthew 24:4-8).<\/p>\n

Yet, currently we see a lot of violent unrest and posturing\u2013that ultimately will fail. The Kingdom of God is the Solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As far as the safety of areas in the USA go, consider the following prophecies:<\/p>\n

\n

5 They have corrupted themselves<\/strong>; They are not His children, Because of their blemish: A perverse and crooked generation<\/strong>. … 25 The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within<\/strong> (Deuteronomy 32:5,25)<\/p>\n

12 \u201cCry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel. Terrors including the sword will be against My people<\/strong>; … (Ezekiel 21:12)<\/p>\n

5 Also they are afraid of<\/strong> height, And of terrors in the way<\/strong> (Ecclesiastes 12:5).<\/p>\n

6 You have forsaken Me,” says the Lord,
\n“You have gone backward.
\nTherefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
\nI am weary of relenting!
\n7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;
\nI will bereave them of children;
\nI will destroy My people,
\nSince they do not return from their ways.
\n8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
\nI will bring against them,
\nAgainst the mother of the young men,
\nA plunderer at noonday;
\nI will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly. (Jeremiah 15:6-8)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Terror will hit not only the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies, but also many in Europe and elsewhere. Police strikes seem intended to get people to realize that this world is not safe.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows that we should expect more protests, including violent protests:<\/p>\n

\n

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves<\/strong>, lovers of money, boasters, proud<\/strong>, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God<\/strong>, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth<\/strong>. (2 Timothy 3:1-7)<\/p>\n

23 \u2018Make a chain,
\nFor the land is filled with crimes of blood,
\nAnd the city is full of violence.<\/strong>
\n24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
\nAnd they will possess their houses;
\nI will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
\nAnd their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Riots and the Red Horse of the Apocalypse<\/a><\/h3>\n

We are seeing riots and protests across the USA, protests and skirmishes in Hong Kong, and another potential intifada with the Palestinians over Israel\u2019s annexation plans. Could any of this be related to the beginning of sorrows Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24? What about rider of the red horse of war of the apocalypse? Is ethic group prophesied to be against ethnic group according to the Orthodox Jewish Bible? Did the red horse begin the ride in the 20th century? What is the relationship of the seals of Revelation 6 and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will a warring \u2018Beast\u2019 leader arise in Europe? Might he quell civil unrest? Might he militarily destroy the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada? What about the Islamic nations of the Middle East and North Africa? Will Jesus have the King of the North Beast defeated? After Jesus returns will this be the time when people will not learn war? What about the other seals in the Book of Revelation? Dr. Thiel address these and more in this video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sorrows and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Revelation 6:1-8 shows the opening of four seals and discusses the rides of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Each of which appears to be associated with aspects of the \u201cbeginning of sorrows\u201d that Jesus mentions in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. What do each of the horsemen represent? Did the old Worldwide Church of God teach that these rides were still in the future in the late 21st century? Could any have began in the 21st century? Does the rider of the white horse represent Jesus or false religion? Are there ties to the interfaith and ecumenical movements? What might the bow the horseman has represent? Could this be a tie to Satan the Devil? What about the Beast and False Prophet? Has the \u201cbeginning of sorrows\u201d started? Could the first seal be opened? Could COVID-19 have anything to do with the second seal? Has \u201cthe peace\u201d been taken from the earth? Could the rider of the red horse have begun with an opening of the second seal? What about riots, looting wars, and rumors of war? Are food inflation, food shortages, and famines associated with the opening of the third seal and rider of the black horse of famine? Could human actions such as evolution teachings, genetically-modified crops, and viral research be factors in the rides of the four horsemen? Is more than death related to pestilences associated with the rider of the pale horse, the fourth seal? Why might this be a factor in 666? Will most people fail to recognize the rides of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse until it is too late to take action? What about the fifth seal and the start of the Great Tribulation? Are there problems with Roman and Eastern Orthodox prophecies concerning the end and the Great Monarch? What about prophecies related to Noah, the King of the North, Armageddon, and Antichrist? Dr. Thiel covers these issues and also includes some speculation and analysis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to the sermon video: Sorrows and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Biblically more violence is expected.<\/p>\n

Particularly as we see more division in the USA.<\/p>\n

Jesus taught:<\/p>\n

25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is more divide in the USA and parts of it certainly appear to be intentional. Much of it is ideological. The USA is quite disunited and is becoming more polarized.<\/p>\n

This will not end well for the USA (cf. Ezekiel 7:23-24; Daniel 11:39, see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse<\/a> What do each of the four horseman of the Apocalypse represent? Have they began their ride? Did Jesus discuss the any of this? Might their rides coincide with the \u201cbeginning of sorrows? Do they start their ride prior to the Great Tribulation? Did Nostradamus or any other \u2018private prophets\u2019 write predictions that may mislead people so that they may not understand the truth of one or more of the four horseman?

\nCOVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI?<\/a> The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world. Many states of the USA as well as countries in Europe are on lockdown with shelter in place \/shelter in residence requirements. In France, a form is required when you are not at your house. In Spain, drones are being used to warn people who are outside to got back to their homes\u2013does that bring up feelings of \u2018Big Brother\u2019? Italy, France, and other areas are using police and\/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not? Could we be seeing The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) like the R.E.M.\u2019s 1987 single song discussed? Do Christians need to fear? What did Jesus teach? What did the Psalmist teach? This is a video. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: Corona 19 no es el final PERO es el TEOTWAWKI<\/a>.
\nCOVID-19 Leading to 666?<\/a> The novel coronavirus of Wuhan, China fame, is now called COVID-19. It has also been called the \u2018Coronapocalypse.\u2019 Does COVID-19 have any prophetic ramifications? What did Jesus teach about pestilences and sorrows in the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24? Could COVID-19 be the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Why was this type of disease expected according to the O. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: ld Testament prophecies in Deuteronomy and Leviticus? What has the US Centers for Disease Control warned about? What has the CDC reported about the flu? Were there lessons about fear and infections in the 2011 movie \u2018Contagion\u2019? Because of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO), nation of Iran, and certain French locations are telling people not to use cash, but instead electronic forms of payment. The US Federal Reserve is now quarantining money repatriated from Asia to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus on US currency bills. Is COVID-19 worse than we have been told or could this all be a \u2018false flag\u2019 event to encourage people to move towards a cashless society? If the thousands of deaths associated with COVID-19 are pushing parts of the world towards cashlessness, how much more likely will the ride of the fourth horseman and over a billion human deaths motivate people to move to making electronic payments that can be monitored? The Bible tells of a soon coming society that controls buying and selling to force allegiance to a coming European Beast power, known as 666 (Revelation 13:16-18). Does the \u2018great tribulation\u2019 begin before ride of the fourth horseman or with the opening of the fifth seal of Revelation 6? Do the words of Jesus helps us better understand the sequence of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will the ride of the fourth horseman help lead to the rise of 666? Is that ride very close? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: <\/a>El COVID-19 \u00bfConduce al 666?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>
