Obama, the Pope, and the President of China Are Teaming Up to Save the World
Something big and strange is happening in the United States this week.
Three wildly different world leaders with divergent personalities, agendas, and backgrounds will be in the same country at the same time, fighting for the same thing—solutions for climate change.
Ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York City, an unprecedented triumvirate will be on US soil: President Xi Jinping, the Communist leader of China's 1.3 billion people and the world's biggest carbon polluter; Pope Francis, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, and a self-modeled reformer; and US President Barack Obama, the leader of the world's largest economy (and a man who doesn't need to be reelected). In one way or another, they each have made fighting global warming a core part of their leadership at home and abroad.
The trio isn't publicly scheduled to meet each other in America this week—though they...

After months of having to wade through all these negative news items which tell us everything that the ungodly are doing and scheming, I have had a few weeks focussing all my mind on the Lord Jesus Christ and his FINISHED and COMPLETED work at Calvary's cross, through which, by his blood - and also his righteousness - he has saved, redeemed a vast number of rebels (called in scripture THE UNGODLY) and has given them the earnest of the Spirit, having come to believe in him; they, having been adopted by the Father by his own choice, quickened by the Spirit, and called by the Lord Jesus, have laid down their arms of rebellion against God, turned around, and now walk in newness of life in Christ, set free from the law of God, but having the law of love written in their heart as new creatures, they live a new covenant life, having joy unspeakable and full of glory, testifying of the grace of God, and saying, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross......." "For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish, but to us which are saved, it is the power of God." Amen.

Amen. How ya been, bro?
Couldn't make heads nor tails of Jim's commentary. Pretty bad when a commentary needs a commentary to understand it.

   10. covenant which I made with all the people—The covenant made with the whole nation is to hold good no more except to the elect remnant. This is the force of the clause, not as MAURER, and others translate. The covenant which I made with all the nations (not to hurt My elect people, Hosea 2:18). But the Hebrew is the term for the elect people (Ammim), not that for the Gentile nations (Goiim). The Hebrew plural expresses the great numbers of the Israelite people formerly (1 Kings 4:20). The article is, in the Hebrew, all the or those peoples. His cutting asunder the staff "Beauty," implies the setting aside of the outward symbols of the Jews distinguishing excellency above the Gentiles (see on Zechariah 1) as God's own people.

Gotta know what the Father set out to accomplish.
Zech 11:10-14 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Heb 10:9-10 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Jesus came as the first covenant and ascended to the Father as the new covenant. For those who are partakers of the NC gift of grace, that is, partakers of His death and resurrection.......... His sacrifice on Calvary was a complete success. But then, why expect an unregenerate blind leader of the blind to know this?
From the news: "Three wildly different world leaders with divergent personalities, agendas, and backgrounds will be in the same country at the same time, fighting for the same thing—solutions for climate change"
Wildly different? Actually, there isn't much difference in their agendas. Since the climate changes, and always has, why are the Three Leftist Amigos fighting for "solutions" for it? Oh, the headiness of power in those ministers to us for good!
Good Sunday to you Nosey. Yes, I give thanks for Christ's revealing of all this to those who are able to see the time is near. Yet in my patriotism for the nation whom God's grace allow myself and my family to be born in , is sordidly saddened by the events that have occurred. We live in a time of judgement. And like Isreal of old, when God judged the nation, there was no provision for ignorance or unbelief. Righteous anger for men and women who claim Christianity and not being prepared for wrath to come is liken to a slow capsizing of a large ship. Running to the opposite side of the deck will not stop the devastation.
"Blame the guy who can't get reelected and whom we will forever be reminded of our downfall."
Instead, stand back and see what God is doing in the world and the Church. Guard what He is doing in your very own life - not causing you to blame people. This is not the job of those who have been given Truth in the inward parts.
The reasons believers don't need to go to the movies is because the entire world is God's stage. Hide His word in your heart, eyes upon His orchestrating events already proclaimed in it; the Word. It is forever established. It abides forever.
Thank and praise Him for revealing His secrets to His own.
Meanwhile, Putin has established a permanent military presence in Syria. The first time, oil is raised to a 200 dollar a barrel price tag, it will be due to Putin gaining the oil flow key to Russian world dominance. Blame the guy who can't get reelected and whom we will forever be reminded of our downfall. To think that Luther's anti Christ , the leader of the Far East and Narsistic community organizer can enslave us to high energy and food prices to reduce green house emissions is truly epic in its scope and amazing that we live in such times as these. In Gods good pleasure we live and should give thanks for salvation through Christ our savior.
There was a lot of power in three men in one place last week! The leader of the greatest military power, the two leaders of the greatest economic powers, the leader of the most populated country, and the "leader" (from the world's view) of the largest religion on earth. I guess the next time this will happen will be a fulfillment of Revelation 13.
