All Trick, No Treat
![]()
Well, it's trick-or-treat time again, and we're also coming right up on election time in the United States—and every American knows what that means:
Forget about Halloween...now it's time for some real tricks!
It's become a virtual rite of passage for every American generation since the days of the Federalists. First off, let me emphasize that neither side is perfect: Candidates from both parties have made their share of mistakes and said their share of things they probably wish they hadn't.
But anyone who is paying any attention at all knows one thing for certain: The most insidious of those tricks are courtesy of the Democrats. Or the Democratic Socialists of America, or whatever they wish to be called these days (lately I've taken to calling them "Demoncrats" after I see the morning news).

DEC '17: A Missing Piece
Many who come up with creative theories about what happens when in the book of Revelation just might be missing a piece of the puzzle.
A Missing Piece
![]()
Few would disagree that the book of Revelation is one of the most puzzling and controversial books of the entire Bible. For nearly two millennia, legions of Bible scholars and teachers as well as ordinary believers have tried to sort out this dizzying array of symbols, characters, events, and cataclysmic waves of judgment that God pours out to purge Israel and judge a Christ-rejecting world.
As one might expect in the face of such a dizzying pageant of symbols, characters, events, and cataclysmic waves of judgment, there is an equally dizzying array of interpretive schemes that valiantly attempt to explain what it all means. These schemes evoke images of everything from literal asteroid strikes to allegorical fairy stories; from a horrifying future apocalypse to a historical fait accompli.
The problem, of course, is that God's Word doesn't afford us the luxury of accepting and entertaining myriads of interpretations. When people come along with unconventional theories and unorthodox scenarios, rather than just warmly embracing them in the name of tolerance, inclusion, and diversity, we have a biblical obligation to study them and do our utmost to rightly divide the Word and ultimately decide what's right and what's not in the light of what the Bible clearly teaches.

11/10/2026: 13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, [this includes Great Britian] with all the young lions thereof, [and this includes the United States] shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? [That's us when Gog-Magog goes down: All talk, no action.]

11/10/2026: From the "YAY! No Elections!" Department...
Well, the midterms are over and as everyone knows, the Republicans lost both the House and the Senate. And for the past week we've heard a lot of moaning and groaning from the Republicans, as well as a plethora of excuses as to why they fared so poorly.
Color me surprised: Just as a side note, I should mention that there is in fact a great deal of evidence of voter fraud—but most seem to be content to throw their hands in the air and let it go, rather than being interested in digging into it and ferreting it out. And after the way the fraud extravaganza of 2020 was effectively stuffed and snuffed, that doesn't really surprise me all that much.
The fact remains, however, that there are a number of statistical impossibilities afoot that are being largely ignored. I can only assume that people have learned the hard way that if you don't stop the Democrats from cheating before the election happens (which some Republican officials admit they could have done a far more effective job of), then it's t-o-o-o late...you lose.
But President Trump mentioned one excuse for the Republicans' less-than-stellar performance in the 2026 midterm elections that, although I find it disturbing, I don't doubt there is an unsettling amount of truth to it:
A growing dislike of Israel.
In a recent news article, Trump mentioned a "growing dislike of Israel" among American voters as one of the factors in the Democrats' takeover of the House and the Senate.
And although I love and support the Jewish people and the nation of Israel and will do so until my dying day (or what is more far likely, my flying day), the simple reason I have little trouble believing this is because it aligns perfectly with what Scripture tells us about the scenario where the players of Gog-Magog converge for an ultimately unsuccessful existential attack on Israel:
When the Gog-Magog coalition attempts to pounce on Israel, America sits back and whines and does nothing but offer up empty rhetoric.
Don't believe me? Read this concerning the implications of Ezekiel 38:10–13.
And this is not all just on Trump's back. The point is that as America's relationship with Israel begins to fade and sour (and I don't doubt that this really is beginning to gain momentum), it is a clear sign of two biblically significant realities that are coming to the fore:
1. America is preparing to come under God's judgment.
2. The world is preparing to witness the attack of Gog-Magog.
But as we contemplate these sobering thoughts, we might do well to contemplate another thought that brings me great peace and joy:
There won't be any elections in heaven! =8D
