Senator Ted Cruz has made some charges against the US Department of Justice:<\/p>\n

\n

Sen. Cruz says DOJ is targeting pro-life activists, doing nothing about violence at the hands of pro-abortion rioters<\/h2>\n

September 1, 2023<\/p>\n

Republican Senator Ted Cruz (TX), is sounding the alarm<\/a> on Biden\u2019s Department of Justice (DOJ) for reportedly using its resources to disproportionately arrest pro-life activists and seemingly ignore the violent attacks on crisis pregnancy centers.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, August 30th, in a threat on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Cruz wrote, \u201cAt least 88 crisis pregnancy centers have been firebombed, vandalized or set ablaze in the wake of the Dobbs decision. DOJ\u2019s response to this violence has been anemic, having only prosecuted one FACE Act case against these criminals.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added, \u201cHowever, and in stark contrast, the DOJ has brought the entire weight and force of the FBI against those who are engaging in non-violent protests at abortion clinics. Yesterday, the DOJ convicted Lauren Handy and four other abortion protestors for engaging in non-violent protest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican Senator continued by saying, \u201cThey now face 11 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $350,000. The DOJ has been aggressively targeting Handy since she and others blew the whistle on an abortion doctor in Washington D.C. who was engaging in illegal, later-term abortions.\u201d …<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you compare how aggressively DOJ treats pro-life protesters like Lauren Handy and Mark Houck versus the hand-off approach it takes to those that burn and vandalize churches and pregnancy centers,” Cruz said, “it\u2019s obvious that [Attorney General Merrick] Garland has thoroughly politicized our federal law enforcement and our system of justice. He should redesign.\u201d https:\/\/lawenforcementtoday.com\/sen-cruz-says-doj-is-targeting-pro-life-activists-doing-nothing-about-violence-at-the-hands-of-pro-abortion-rioters<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While “justice” has long been affected by financial and political considerations, the US Department of Justice has been even more influenced by political considerations the past 7 or so years. I picked the 7 year point because of matters involving Hillary Clinton that were not handled properly according to my understanding of various laws in the USA–and many matters have become more blatant since then.<\/p>\n

Isaiah was inspired to write:<\/p>\n

4 No one calls for justice,
\nNor does any plead for truth.
\nThey trust in empty words and speak lies;
\nThey conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. (Isaiah 59:4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While many claim that they want justice, what many really want is political revenge.<\/p>\n

Isaiah also wrote:<\/p>\n

6 Their webs will not become garments,
\nNor will they cover themselves with their works;
\nTheir works are works of iniquity,
\nAnd the act of violence is in their hands.
\n7 Their feet run to evil,
\nAnd they make haste to shed innocent blood;
\nTheir thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
\nWasting and destruction are in their paths.
\n8 The way of peace they have not known,
\nAnd there is no justice in their ways;
\nThey have made themselves crooked paths;
\nWhoever takes that way shall not know peace.<\/p>\n

9 Therefore justice is far from us,
\nNor does righteousness overtake us;
\nWe look for light, but there is darkness!
\nFor brightness, but we walk in blackness!
\n10 We grope for the wall like the blind,
\nAnd we grope as if we had no eyes;
\nWe stumble at noonday as at twilight;
\nWe are as dead men in desolate places.
\n11 We all growl like bears,
\nAnd moan sadly like doves;
\nWe look for justice, but there is none; (Isaiah 59:6-11)<\/p>\n

14 Justice is turned back,
\nAnd righteousness stands afar off;
\nFor truth is fallen in the street,
\nAnd equity cannot enter.
\n15 So truth fails,
\nAnd he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.<\/p>\n

Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him
\nThat there was no justice.\u00a0 (Isaiah 59:14-15)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice also the following from the Apostle Paul:<\/p>\n

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, KJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that ‘trucebreakers’ are in the above list. The NKJV translates the word as unforgiving. What seems to happen now is that if the government has any suspicion about someone, which could be based upon a false accusation, that it breaks the intent of the Declaration of Independence<\/em> and the US Bill of Rights<\/em>. This sounds like ‘trucebreaking.’<\/p>\n

It is my view that the USA no longer has the type of ‘freedom of religion’ or ‘freedom of speech’ or right to justice or the freedom to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ its founders envisioned.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it will get worse.<\/p>\n

The time will come when the USA, and likely some private companies (probably with direct or indirect governmental pressures), will apparently stop the efforts of websites like this one. As well as our numerous video channels on the internet.<\/p>\n

Consider the following prophecy:<\/p>\n

13 Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time. (Amos 5:13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above indicates that even those that are doing nothing wrong will need to be silent at the coming evil time. The times are evil.<\/p>\n

Let me also add that the US Department of Justice, including the FBI (which is part of it), does use evil and deception.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the FBI does not want the public to know it is increasing its surveillance and wants to take action against those who hold what it considers to be \u2018extremist\u2019 positions.<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, NBC reported that an field office warns of \u2018conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, I posted the following in 2017:<\/p>\n

Teaching what the Bible says about this Beast of Revelation<\/a> and the King of the North<\/a> leader will likely be considered as a \u2018conspiracy theory.\u2019 Teaching the truths about what will be happening would seem to trigger the prophesied famine of the word. (Thiel B. CCOG\u2019s Five Years of Listening to God<\/a>. http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/ccog-five.htm (c) COGwriter, 2017 1223)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Yes, the government of the USA as well as other so-called ‘free-societies’ have issues with the Bible, its prophecies, and its doctrines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As far as \u2018conspiracy theories\u2019 go, yes people need to be careful about them.<\/p>\n

12 Do not say, \u2018A conspiracy,\u2019 Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Isaiah 8:12
\nNor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. (Isaiah 8:12).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, we are not to get bent out of shape because of many conspiracy theories (including some that have been proven to be right).<\/p>\n

But as the US government has moved further and further away from respect for biblical positions, its FBI has been monitoring what it considers extremist conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n

\n

More censorship is coming as Jesus said:<\/p>\n

\n

4 \u2026 the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4, NKJV)<\/p>\n

4\u2026 the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4 KJV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In an October 23, 1980 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

The Bible warns us the time is just ahead when NO MAN CAN WORK\u2014in the Lord\u2019s Work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That will truly be a massive violation of “justice.”<\/p>\n

In a November 22, 1982 co-worker letter, Herbert Armstrong wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026 brethren and co-workers, the prophesied Great Tribulation (nuclear World War III) will start soon after the European unification. That means OUR WORK OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE FINISHED! We have not now much more time. Soon shall come a FAMINE of hearing the Word of the Lord (Amos 8:11). God says, work while it is day, for the night is coming when no man can work \u2013 in the Work of God! Nothing else is important in our lives, now, but this all-important Work of God. (http:\/\/cog-ff.com\/html\/pcomments_07_04_08.html, viewed 10\/03\/13)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the Bible tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. And that would seem to be because it will be taken off the internet. In the 21st century, the internet is accessed by people in every country, and thus some type of internet restriction\/suspension\/site removal is coming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite that, currently, it is still time to cry out and declare:<\/p>\n

1 Cry aloud, spare not;
\nLift up your voice like a trumpet;
\nTell My people their transgression,
\nAnd the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)<\/p>\n

8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,
\nAnd of justice and might,
\nTo declare to Jacob his transgression
\nAnd to Israel his sin.
\n9 Now hear this,
\nYou heads of the house of Jacob
\nAnd rulers of the house of Israel,
\nWho abhor justice
\nAnd pervert all equity,
\n10 Who build up Zion with bloodshed
\nAnd Jerusalem with iniquity:
\n11 Her heads judge for a bribe,
\nHer priests teach for pay,
\nAnd her prophets divine for money.
\nYet they lean on the Lord, and say,
\n“Is not the Lord among us?
\nNo harm can come upon us.”
\n12 Therefore because of you
\nZion shall be plowed like a field, (Micah 3:8-12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which is what we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> are doing. We have denounced, not only sins that the world sometimes seems to consider politically correct, but also sins that many claimed 501(c)(3) COGs will not do, because of their own concerns about their political fates and\/or fates that could happen if they offended their financial supporters if they told the truth to truly fulfill Isaiah 58:1 (cf. 501(c)(3)? Why the Continuing<\/em> Church of God chose a better option<\/a>). As far as the house of Jacob and Israel go, check out our free online book: Lost Tribes and Prophecies:\u00a0What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?<\/a><\/p>\n

Many in and out of the government have plans and are watching the internet with plans to deal with materials that they some day hope to silence. That is not justice.<\/p>\n

Notice the following from the Bible:<\/p>\n

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
\nPreserve my life from fear of the enemy.
\n2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
\nFrom the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
\n3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
\nAnd bend their bows to shoot their arrows \u2014 bitter words,
\n4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
\nSuddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.<\/p>\n

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
\nThey talk of laying snares secretly;
\nThey say, “Who will see them?”
\n6 They devise iniquities:
\n“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
\nBoth the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. (Psalms 64:1-6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And while you might think that if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from surveillance, consider that many in the government of the USA consider that not supporting homosexual marriages<\/a> is an extremist position.<\/p>\n

As mentioned before, I also saw someone once on a documentary that stated that people who believed in the millennium<\/a> could not be trusted and should be considered as potential terrorists. The fact that we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> would be considered pacifists<\/a>, does not change the fact that since we hold to millennial and other biblical views that we will not be improperly classified by government employees with various agendas.<\/p>\n

Since the millennial reign is part of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God<\/a>, that the Gospel of the Kingdom of God<\/a> may well be considered as a political ‘conspiracy theory’ that the US government may want to suppress.<\/p>\n

But notice that is during the millennial reign of the Kingdom of God<\/a> that we will have justice!<\/p>\n

3 For I proclaim the name of the Lord:
\nAscribe greatness to our God.
\n4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
\nFor all His ways are justice,
\nA God of truth and without injustice;
\nRighteous and upright is He.\u00a0 (Deuteronomy 32:3-4)<\/p>\n

8 He shall judge the world in righteousness,
\nAnd He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.\u00a0 (Psalms 9:8)<\/p>\n

2 He will judge Your people with righteousness,
\nAnd Your poor with justice.\u00a0 (Psalms 72:2)<\/p>\n

9 For He is coming to judge the earth.
\nWith righteousness He shall judge the world,
\nAnd the peoples with equity.\u00a0 (Psalms 98:9)<\/p>\n

18 … For the Lord is a God of justice;
\nBlessed are all those who wait for Him.\u00a0 (Isaiah 30:18)<\/p>\n

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,
\nAnd princes will rule with justice.\u00a0 (Isaiah 32:1)<\/p>\n

23 I have sworn by Myself;
\nThe word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
\nAnd shall not return,
\nThat to Me every knee shall bow,
\nEvery tongue shall take an oath.\u00a0 (Isaiah 45:23)<\/p>\n

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges … (Revelation 19:11)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The world does not want to hear that it does not practice true justice, and that true Christians believe that it will only happen in the Kingdom of God<\/a>, not by the government of men.<\/p>\n

Surveillance is also prophesied as is a coming famine of the word:<\/p>\n

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.<\/p>\n

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18)<\/p>\n

11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
\n“That I will send a famine on the land,
\nNot a famine of bread,
\nNor a thirst for water,
\nBut of hearing the words of the Lord.
\n12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
\nAnd from north to east;
\nThey shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
\nBut shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are getting closer to this time. I believe that the government of the USA will take steps to get this website removed from the internet not too many years from now.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, consider that until this century (and perhaps theoretically, the latter part of the 20th century), it was not possible to really control buying and selling. But certainly that ability exist now–and it will come to pass–and that will not be justice either.<\/p>\n

I believe that the USA is paving the way for the final European Beast power to spy on people and monitor financial transactions, as well as preaching restrictions–some of which it already has (see EU \u2018Digital Services Act\u2019 in place: Yes, it is a prelude to the \u2018famine of the word\u2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The politicization of the US Department of Justice shows that if it can happen in the USA, it can happen anywhere. Biblically, we see that Europe will be the place for 666 controls.<\/p>\n

This is part of why we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> are preparing for the ‘short work’ (Romans 9:28) and the coming ‘famine of the word<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a link to a related video sermon titled: The Short Work<\/a>. Here is a link to another: Preparing to Instruct Many<\/a>.

Here are two related YouTube videos titled Final Phase of the Work: Need and Background<\/a><\/a> and The Final Phase of the Work. <\/a> The written article has been translated into Spanish La Fase Final de la Obra<\/a>.

\nMight the U.S.A. Be Gone by 2028?<\/a> Are there prophetic reasons to believe that the USA will not last two complete presidential terms? Yes. There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God\u2019s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.<\/span> Here is a link to a related video: Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?
\n<\/a>Europa, the Beast, and the Book of Revelation<\/a> discusses the largest church since the second\/third century, which in a real sense is the eighth church mentioned in the Book of Revelation (it also endorses \u201ceighth day\u201d worship). What church would support the Beast? Here is a link to a video titled: Europe and the \u2018Holy Roman Empire\u2019<\/a>.
\nInternet Censorship and Prophecy <\/a> Are concerns about internet censorship limited to nations such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. But what about the USA, Canada, and Germany? What about the European Union? What about internet media companies such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, or email services like MailChimp? Has the attempt to control information been made by various ones over the centuries? Was the New Testament affected by it? What about the church throughout the centuries? Has the Bible already been partially censored? Which Bible prophecies point to coming Internet censorship? What about the Book of Amos? What about the coming 666 Beast and final Antichrist? Is there anything that can be done about this? Should Philadelphian Christians be working on anything now? Will preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God vs. a highly media-supported alternative lead to a \u2018famine of the word\u2019? More internet censorship is coming as various statements in the Bible support.
