Don’t Think We Are Living In The End Times? Think Again

If you don’t think that we are living in the last days that
Jesus Christ spoke about then you had better think again! 

How much evidence do we need in order to wake us up?!

Jesus told us that in the last days there would be many deceptions, that the hearts of many would grow cold, that lawlessness would abound, that ethnic group would fight against ethnic group, and kingdom against kingdom, that there would be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places, that all these are as birth pangs, that they shall all increase with frequency and intensity.

Well my friends we are in the heat of all of these things happening right now at the same time, and that is what makes each and everyone of them signs of the end times, that they are all happening together at the same time and increasing in both frequency and intensity, as the nation of Israel once again stands as a nation.

Think about what is happening now:

Deception.  There has never been a time in human history (other than the days of Noah) that deception has been so great and rampant in the world.  We are being deceived by the people that we should be trusting, in people that have control over our lives, over our health, over our well being, that list includes politicians, doctors, scientists, and even leaders in the church!

The hearts of many growing cold.  The hearts of many are growing cold, as people refuse to believe in God or the power of God.  They instead turn to fables and fairy tales, to false gods, and to their own opinions instead of the word of God.  People are turning against each other at astounding rates, becoming unloving, unforgiving, and hateful against one another, at a rate I have never before seen in my lifetime.

Lawlessness.  If you haven’t seen the lawlessness abounding in our lifetime then you must be dead, or braindead at best, or perhaps blind or deaf.  The lawlessness has increased at such drastic levels that it seems as though the world is headed into complete and utter chaos and disaster!  And to top it all off, the government is defending this lawlessness which is lawlessness in and of itself.  Then there is a call to defund the police!  This will only bring about more and more lawlessness.

Confusion and Chaos.  People in the world today are confused about almost everything, they aren’t sure just what to believe anymore, and they are believing things which just aren’t true or are ungodly and unholy.  This confusion brings about chaos, as people strive for things which bring about more lies and destruction.  They support things which God tells us are abominations to Him, things which only lead to disaster and destruction, and government leaders are adding fuel to the fire by pushing lies and propaganda for a New World Order.

Blindness.  Most people in this world are blind to what is really happening, they cannot see what is really happening nor do they really seem to care.  

2 Corinthians 4:4

“whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”

Natural Disasters and Fear of the Unknown.  Over the course of the past several months we have witnessed many very large earthquakes throughout the world, some of which have killed many people and left in their wake much destruction.  We have also seen destructive hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, all destructive, all killing and destroying whatever lies in their path.  We have seen the increase of pestilence and famines, and the fear of these things coming upon us.  And we have seen fear of the unknown and what may come increasing causing people to do things that they normally wouldn’t do, and following along with whatever they being told, no questions asked!  

Bizarre and Unusual Events.  We see things in this world which are happening that none of us thought would ever happen.  We see things happening which are very bizarre and unusual, things that used to be seen as good are now seen as evil, and things which were evil are now seen as good!

Government against it’s own people.  We see Joe Biden fleeing from Afghanistan while leaving behind thousands of Americans to fend for themselves, while at the same time he is welcoming thousands of illegal aliens to walk right into this country!  He is forcing millions of Americans to either take an unsafe so-called vaccine or face loosing their livelihood, while at the same time allowing illegal aliens to flood the nation without even being tested for Covid-19!  He is treating illegal aliens better than he is treating Americans themselves!!!  While many Americans are being thrust into poverty thousands of illegal aliens are being thrust into wealth, given an income, food stamps, healthcare, and education!  Our nation is being divided, a very significant portion of our nation is being demonized by our very own government, being labeled as terrorists and insurrectionists, as second class citizens!

Evil is increasing exponentially.  The evil in this world is increasing at exponential rates, Christians are being persecuted at increasingly exponential rates, lawlessness is increasing at exponential rates, deception is increasing at exponential rates, sin is increasing at exponential rates.  Tell me something isn’t amiss!

Something seems wrong with the world.  Yes, things are amiss, but we were told by Jesus Christ Himself that things in this world would be this way before His return.  These are signs my friends, signs of the return of Jesus Christ to this world, at His second coming.  Yet, if we are that close to His second coming then how much closer are we to the rapture of the church?!  That much close my friends, that much closer, in fact at least 7 years closer!!!

The things happening in this world are not by chance, no, they were foretold to happen by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  These things will happen, and when they do we are to look up for our redemption draws near.

Who in their right mind would have ever thought that they would see the things that are happening in the world today?  Who?  I sure didn’t!  I knew that things were going to get bad before the rapture of the church, but I didn’t expect to see them happening.  All of these things are setting the stage for the coming One World Government under the dictatorial and tyrannical rule of the Antichrist.  Doesn’t the world look as though it is getting ready for it?  It most certainly does to me.

And not only are all of the things that I mentioned above happening, but we are one step closer to a digital currency, to the Mark of the Beast!  People are also being brainwashed and conditioned to accept the Mark, to accept what they are told by a one world ruler, to do it in order to survive, in order to have peace and security!  How many people do you know that just willingly accept what the government and MSM tell them?  Willingly accept that the coronavirus vaccine is both safe and effective?  How many do it without doing any research on their own and without any questions whatsoever?!  It’s warfare my friends, psychological warfare, spiritual warfare!

Threaten people with fear and they will comply.  Threaten to take away their livelihood, their healthcare, their ability to buy or sell, threaten their peace and security.  Fear, it’s a controlling force, and the Elite know this and use it to the best of their ability, Satan knows this and also uses it to the best of his ability!  But Jesus told us not to fear, but to trust wholly in Him!

Matthew 10:28

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Philippians 4:6-7

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

2 Timothy 1:7

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Isaiah 43:1

“But now, this is what the Lord says…Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”

Psalm 118:6

“The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”

Fear not as you see the day approaching, and know that God is with you and on your side, as long as you place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ!  Look around you and see the signs for they are all around us, Jesus is coming soon!

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, before it’s too late!!!

God bless my friends!  Maranatha!

Lighthouse Park – My Instagram Picture is featured

I took this picture on Monday February 20, 2017. It was Presidents Day. It was a warm enough day to drive to Lighthouse Park in New Haven, Connecticut.

My fiance and I have a friendly competition on getting our pictures featured by Instagram User newhavenista. This made my night.



All the best,

5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese By Fitslowcookerqueen

5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese By Fitslowcookerqueen

Out of all the social media apps I use I think Instagram (username alzibluk) is my favorite.  All we are doing is sharing pictures.  I have gotten to be friends with people with similar interests.  I do not go on Facebook as much as everything is just politics or someone doing something horrific.

 

I started taking pictures of different crockpot recipes when user fitslowcookerqueen found me.  She started liking my pictures so I started liking hers.  I went to her site where I found “5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese.”  I was looking for an easy one and I happen to find it here.  Below is her site, ingredient list and her instructions.

http://fitslowcookerqueen.com/slow-cooker-mac-cheese/

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 32 ounces macaroni, uncooked
  • 16 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 cups almond milk
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all ingredients to the slow cooker.
  • Stir to mix well.
  • Cook HIGH 1-2 hours or LOW 2-3.

 

The only thing I did different was use coconut oil instead of cooking spray.  Below is my picture before I turned the power on.

I cooked it on low for 3 hours.  I then unplugged my crockpot and let it cool down for a while.  It came out a little dryer than it should be but I thoroughly enjoyed the taste.

I will most definitely try this again.  I think it is a great base.  I see cooking it with mushrooms, bacon, etc. in the future.

 

A few weeks ago I tried a recipe I found called “4 Ingredient Mac & Cheese.” It actually gave me heartburn.  Each time I cooked the leftovers I got the heartburn.  There was no heartburn associated with the recipe above.  I did want to share that experience.

 

I was glad to get away from the brown rice, lentil and quinoa recipes I have been making.  Although they are great and healthy, it gets boring week after week.  It was great to mix it up.

 

If you have a recipe you would like to share I encourage you to join my group at Markethive.  Posting to the group’s blog will get your recipe featured on other sites.  I am also pinning recipes I am trying on Pinterest.

All the best,

Alan

Using Tumblr, Yelp and Pinterest with MarketHive

I have wanted to write this blog post for a while showing people how I share pictures from popular sites like Yelp, Pinterest, Tumblr with MarketHive. I assume everyone is using MarketHive for their WordPress websites. If you have not signed up please feel free to visit my site at https://markethive.com/alzibluk or go to my own personal website at the end of this article to click on the widget on the top right.

I like pictures as a picture says a thousand words . I am a better photographer than writer. Pictures tell stories.

I use Instagram for all my pictures (userid alzibluk). The sundial really enhances them. Unfortunately with Instagram it uses embedded scripts in sharing with other sites which will not show up with the MarketHive Plugin. I have a similar problem with Pinterest but there is a way around this. I will show you later.

With Instagram I can immediately post my pictures to Flickr, Tumblr, Foursquare,Facebook and Twitter. Later I will go to my gallery on my phone to post to Pinterest and Yelp (only if it is involving dining).

The first thing when I am ready to write a blog post is find the pictures I want to use. I currently use Google Chrome as my main browser. Once I find the picture I want to use I will have my mouse on the picture. Then I click right mouse button which opens a new window where I select Open Image in new tab. I then proceed to go to that tab to copy the url address of it which I will copy and paste into my notepad. I did this three times for this post.

The second thing I do is have my text all typed out. I want my hyperlinks all set up. I do know basic html and still use EditPlus. I then go my MarketHive account, click Blogs and Write a new Blog Post. I click the source button and copy/paste my html text. I then hit source button a second time. I move my cursor between the paragraphs where I want to Insert image. Hitting the image button will open up a new dialog box. I will paste the image url where it says url at the top. I don t like going higher than 500 for my Width and Height settings.

My first picture I am taking from my Tumblr account. As I mentioned earlier when I publish in Instagram it publishes in Tumblr. This picture is Ordinary in New Haven, Connecticut. I like to go there on a Friday night after the end of the work week. Ordinary was listed in Conde Nast Traveler – Drink Up: The Greatest Bars in the World. While I am there I like thinking about content for my blogs. It is where I go to think.

My second picture I am taking from my Yelp account. I like to go to the Dew Drop Inn in Derby, Connecticut for Buffalo Wings on Saturday mornings. This picture is the JD BBC Cucumber Wasabi Wings which is probably my third favorite.My favorite so far are the Buttery BBQ Montreal Wings. While I am at the Dew Drop Inn I continue on thinking about what I want to post in my blogs.

My last picture I am taking from my Pinterest account. It is a foliage picture I took on Saturday October 31, 2015 in Bethany, Connecticut. It is part of the West Rock Trail that ends in New Haven. As you can guess while there I think about my blog posts.

I hope this blog post helps. If you believe that my message is worth spreading,please use the share buttons if they are visible on this page. I am borrowing that line from Stephen Hodgkiss, Chief Engineer at MarketHive.

All the best,

Alan
