These Horrific Mass Shootings Show Us That As America Grows Ever More Dark, Violent And Divided, It’s Becoming Apparent That We As A Nation Are Under God’s Judgment

These Horrific Mass Shootings Show Us That As America Grows Ever More Dark, Violent And Divided, It’s Becoming Apparent That We As A Nation Are Under God’s Judgment

by Geoffrey Grider

I believe that God's active judgment on the United States of America began. But first, let's take a look at what led up to the events that started in 2012. 

America is under judgment, no rational person could possibly conclude otherwise.

Yesterday's mass killings in Dayton, Ohio and  El Paso, Texas not to mention the killings that took place at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California, were horrific on every possible level. But after people have had time to process not only these events but also the dozens of mass killings that have been happening over the past decade, I believe there is only one logical conclusion that can be arrived at. America has finally come under the judgment of God. For the past 50 years we have told God that He was not welcome in our classrooms, not welcome in our courtrooms, and not welcome in our government. It's starting to look like, to me, that He has left us as a nation.
"But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you." Proverbs 1:25-27 (KJV)
Back when Donald Trump was running for president in 2016, I wrote multiple articles telling you why I was voting for him, and what the likely outcome of a Trump victory would be. You can read all those articles here. One article in particular was one where I warned that a Donald Trump victory, while beneficial for Israel, would bring about a time of 'global shaking', and that is exactly what has been happening since Trump took office. But while Trump's victory expanded God's judgment on America, it did not begin with Trump.
America is under judgment, no rational person could conclude otherwise. I have combed through hundreds of articles in the NTEB Archive and have traced it back to 2012 where, in my opinion, I believe that God's active judgment on the United States of America began. But first, let's take a look over the past 60 years and see what led up to the events that started in 2012 under Barack Obama.

Are These The Events That Have Finally Triggered God's Judgment On America For Our Reaction of His Word?

STEP #1:

"The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." Psalm 9:16,17 (KJV)
On June 25, 1962, the United States Supreme Court decided in Engel v. Vitale that a prayer approved by the New York Board of Regents for use in schools violated the First Amendment because it represented establishment of religion. In 1963, in Abington School District v. Schempp, the court decided against Bible readings in public schools along the same lines.

Since 1963, there have been five negative developments in the nation’s public schools:

• Academic achievement has plummeted, including SAT scores.
• Increased rate of out-of-wedlock births
• Increase in illegal hard drug use
• Increase in violent juvenile crime
• Deterioration of school behavior

STEP #2:

"And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35 (KJV)
January 22, 1973 - The US Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, affirms the legality of a woman's right to have an abortion under the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. From this moment on, murder of unborn babies becomes institutionalized and corporatized until now in 2019, we have full abortion-on-demand, up to and including the day of the baby's birth. Abortion in America is a billion dollar industry, and is promoted even by "family-friendly" companies like Walt Disney.

STEP #3:

"And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee." Matthew 11:23,24 (KJV)
In 1998, President Clinton issued Executive Order 13087 (PDF) expanding equal opportunity employment in the Federal government by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. On June 11, 1999 President Clinton issued Proclamation No. 7203 (PDF) for Gay and Lesbian Pride Month:
Thirty years ago this month, at the Stonewall Inn in New York City, a courageous group of citizens resisted harassment and mistreatment, setting in motion a chain of events that would become known as the Stonewall Uprising and the birth of the modern gay and lesbian civil rights movement. Gays and lesbians, their families and friends, celebrate the anniversary of Stonewall every June in America as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.
On June 1, 2009, President Obama issued Proclamation No. 8387 (PDF) for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. In this proclamation the President pointed to the contributions made by LGBTQ Americans both in promoting equal rights to all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and in broader initiatives such as the response to the global HIV pandemic. The President ended the proclamation by calling upon the people of the United States to "turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists." source

The Past Is Prologue

Please note that I am not pinning any of this necessarily to any particular political party. This article is so much more important than just another fruitless, pointless and idiotic debate on politics. Yes, the Democrats are the drivers of most all of this, but who voted those people into office to have the power to be able to do that? We, the people, that's who. And it has been happening since the year after I was born, so it's been percolating for quite some time now. At the top of this article, I pointed to the years 2012 and forward as containing events that "filled the cup" of God's wrath upon America. Here are some notable events to prove that point.
  • Historic First! Obama's Minions Add Gay Marriage Plank To Official DNC 2012 Election Platform: Democrats are set to include a pro-gay marriage plank in their convention platform for the first time in history, party sources confirm to POLITICO. The language was approved unanimously by a 15-member platform draft committee, and now heads for approval by the full platform committee in August. The party’s Platform Drafting Committee agreed, unanimously, to approve the language at a meeting this weekend in Minneapolis.  A source in the meeting said the decision was “not controversial.” The language will not become official until the party’s full Platform Committee meets Aug. 10 in Detroit. source
  • US Supreme Court in 2015 Defied God And Voted In Favor Of Same-Sex Marriage: Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the swing vote on the court, sided with its more liberal members and authored the 34-page decision. He wrote that marriage is a "keystone of the nation's social order" and that there is "no difference between same- and opposite-sex couples with respect to this principle." Kennedy then criticized that same-sex couples are denied the benefits that states have linked to marriage. "It is demeaning to lock same-sex couples out of a central institution of the nation’s society, for they too may aspire to the transcendent purposes of marriage," he wrote. source
  • Abortion Became Taxpayer-Funded Under Obamacare: Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States of America. He is so enthusiastically in favor of sacrificing babies on the altar of Planned Parenthood that when he was a state senator he voted 3 times against the “Born-Alive Infants Protection Act”. The bill recognized babies born after attempted abortions as persons and required doctors to give them care.’ Obama voted to withhold that care. 3 times. Under Obamacare, abortion became now taxpayer-funded. That means that all America shares in the killing of these babies, their blood is upon all of us. source
NTEB published over 1,300 articles on the nefarious activities of former US President Barack Obama, and repeatedly said in many of those articles that Obama was God's judgment on America. We wanted a country without God, so God gave us a president fit for the job of leading us there. Not unlike when the Jews rejected God in the Old Testament and God gave them wicked King Saul to lead them into a ditch. Obama was our King Saul, but the end of Obama as president was not the end of God's judgment on America.

Trump And The Global Shaking

Enter Donald John Trump as the 45th president of the United States. God has already use Trump to advance the cause of His people the Jews in Israel, which to me is the main reason why God put him in office. But having Trump as president has caused and is causing uproar and division here in America the likes of which have not been seen since the Civil War of the 1860's.
Scarily still, for all the reasons mentioned already and a thousand more, is what the anti-baby, anti-Israel, anti-semitic and anti-God Liberals are saying that will do should they get power in 2020. We are backed into a corner on a hundred-foot cliff, with nothing but rocks and raging water below us. There are no 'bright spots' anywhere in view. If the Liberals win, they will double and triple-down on all the reasons that triggered God's judgment in the first place. If Trump wins reelection, the Liberals who have not take the first term very well at all, will be driven to acts of violence I cannot even begin to contemplate. This just might be America's very first 'lose-lose' situation.

Mass Shootings, Drug Use And Gaia Worship

These three events all happened just this week alone:

  • GILROY MASS SHOOTING: A mass shooting occurred at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California, on July 28, 2019, at 5:40 p.m., resulting in four deaths—including the gunman—and 12 injuries.
  • EL PASO MASS SHOOTING: A lone gunman killed at least 20 people inside a crowded Walmart on Saturday morning, according to eyewitnesses and officials. “A day that would’ve been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping, turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of Texas. Lives were taken who should still be with us today. Twenty innocent people from El Paso have lost their lives, and more than two dozen more are injured,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott said at an evening press conference. source
  • DAYTON MASS SHOOTING: A shooting with multiple fatalities and several people wounded has occurred near Ned Peppers Bar on East Fifth Street in the city of Dayton’s Oregon District. source

El Paso, Dayton make 251 mass shootings in the US in 216 days, more shootings than days in the year

As gunfire ripped through America in an unprecedented 24 hours, a bleak milestone in a nation pocked by gun violence was marked: There have been 251 mass shootings in 2019, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
A shooting spree early Sunday at an entertainment district in Dayton, Ohio – which left at least nine dead and 16 hurt – notched an even darker statistic: It occurred on the 216th day of the year, meaning there have been more mass shootings than days so far this year. source

The Full Cup

"Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them." Psalm 73:7-10 (KJV)
Let me just conclude this article by restating my original point, and that is simply this. Just as Prohibition didn't stop anyone from drinking, just as the War On Drugs didn't stop anyone from buying, selling or taking drugs, any and all efforts to ban guns will also likewise fail. All these terrible things in America are not happening because we need new laws, different laws or stronger laws. They are happening because we, as a nation, have rejected the Lawgiver who created us, and His judgment is the result.
"And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. " Daniel 9:3-11 (KJV)
The future? From here on it only gets worse. The only thing that could stop God's judgment on our nation is to repent as a nation. National repentance, not just personal repentance. I'm not talking about the powerless and ecumenical National Day of Prayer nonsense, where evangelicals pray with buddhists and everyone cries out to their own gods. All that junk is part of the problem, not the solution.
If the Founding Fathers could take a good look at the mess we are in right now, I think that even they would want to pull the plug on the whole thing. It's that bad. Israel fell into captivity for 70 years because they rejected God, and God judged them. The prophet Daniel, in the passage quoted above, shows the way out for America as a nation.
But you and I both know that will never happen.

"Apostasy Not Inactivity" by Philip Wren From "Trumpet Sounds".

Apostasy not Inactivity

Over several decades there have been those who have cried out that the church has been asleep allowing all this to happen. Having been asleep themselves they imagine that everyone else has likewise been slumbering. During this time the remnant true church in Britain has in fact been punching far above its weight in opposing the destruction of society. The failure to win the day has not been due to inactivity but due to swimming against the tide of end time apostasy.
Those who believe in a great end time revival which will bring in the Kingdom of God, find this difficult to understand. To talk about an apostasy and falling away is for them defeatist. Defeatist or not, it is scriptural. “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24: 12. “for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy about the terrible times which will come in the last days (2 Timothy 3: 1 – 9). We are living in those days.

Philip Wren speaking at TURF in Newport 
Trumpet Sounds believes that a strong defence against allowing ourselves to become part of the falling away is an understanding of scriptural teaching on the end times. Our expectations need to be rooted in the Word of God not the fanciful ideas of men.
In these days, battles are having to be fought in order to protect Christian liberty. We must defend such liberty as we can, while we can. However the true church is fighting a rear guard action. It is like an army valiantly defending a piece of territory. The Commander in Chief has planned a counter offensive which will crush the enemy. We do not know when that attack will come. Our orders are to hold on to what ground we can until that time comes. In holding that ground we trust that it will allow many to escape from the clutches of the enemy to come over to our side.
As the return of our Lord draws closer the battle will intensify. There will be some victories but also many defeats. For a time the kingdom of this world will appear to triumph. All witness for Christ will be silenced. At that time the world will celebrate. At last they are rid of the Christian conscience (Revelation 11: 10). The celebrations will be very short lived. They will be cut short by the return of Jesus Christ, to claim His throne as ruler of this world. 
What can the righteous do?
In past editions of Trumpet Sounds we have featured the advice of Corrie Ten Boon on how to prepare to face suffering for Christ. She gave four recommendations. 1). Feed on the Word of God, read it, digest it, memorise it. 2). Develop our personal relationship with Christ. 3). Be filled with the Holy Spirit. 4). Develop strong relationships with one another. An article by Corrie Ten Boon which develops this theme can be read at:
David Wilkerson also encouraged people to prepare for the times when the whole world is shaken. At these times we are to make God our hiding place. “come my people enter your chambers, and shut the door behind you; hide yourselves, as it were for a little time until the indignation is past.” Isaiah 26: 20. This is not hiding from the world but hiding ourselves in God.
David Wilkerson explains, “The prophet says it is possible to find a place of comfort and composure during volatile times of His wrath. When you are distressed, when you feel overwhelmed with fear, laid low by great affliction, troubled by concerns for your future, God says there is a secret hiding place. It is a place of comfort where we find composure for our souls. This secret hiding place is a chamber in your mind. Isaiah describes it this way: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You”Isaiah 26:3. When God tells us, “Shut the doors,” this is what he means. He is showing us the need to shut out the many troubling voices in our heads. We are to close the door to all thoughts about tomorrow, about world events. Jesus told us, “Give no thought about tomorrow.” The Lord who has faithfully brought us this far will not fail us in the days ahead.”

Holding the Truth in Unrighteousness

August 4, 2019

MP3 Audio:
You need more than the truth, to be saved. You need more than belief, because even the demons believe.
What you need is obedience.
To submit.
Unfortunately, very few seem interested in obedience anymore. Righteousness is far too rigid. In our enlightened times, our pastors seem unwilling to say that the unrighteous will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
We have a Just and Righteous God who demands that we submit to Him. It is all-or-nothing, and too many have tried something in between. FULL ARTICLE AT:

France Slowly Sinking into Chaos

  • President Macron never says he is sorry for those who have lost an eye or a hand... from extreme police brutality. Instead, he asked the French parliament to pass a law that almost completely abolishes the right to protest and the presumption of innocence, and that allows the arrest of anyone, anywhere, even without cause. The law was passed.
  • In June, the French parliament passed another law, severely punishing anyone who says or writes something that might contain "hate speech". The law is so vague that an American legal scholar, Jonathan Turley, felt compelled to react. "France", he wrote, "has now become one of the biggest international threats to freedom of speech".
  • The main concern of Macron and the French government seems not to be the risk of riots, the public's discontent, the disappearance of Christianity, the disastrous economic situation, or Islamization and its consequences. Instead, it is climate change.
  • "The West no longer knows what it is, because it does not know and does not want to know what shaped it, what constituted it, what it was and what it is. (...) This self-asphyxiation leads naturally to a decadence that opens the way to new barbaric civilizations." — Cardinal Robert Sarah, in Le soir approche et déjà le jour baisse("The Evening Comes, and already the Light Darkens").
French President Emmanuel Macron never says he is sorry for those who have lost an eye or a hand from extreme police brutality.

Paris, Champs-Élysées. July 14. Bastille Day. Just before the military parade begins, President Emmanuel Macron comes down the avenue in an official car to greet the crowd. Thousands of people gathered along the avenue shout "Macron resign", boo and hurl insults.
At the end of the parade, a few dozen people release yellow balloons into the sky and distribute leaflets saying "The yellow vests are not dead." The police disperse them, quickly and firmly. Moments later, hundreds of "Antifa" anarchists arrive, throw security barriers on the roadway to erect barricades, start fires and smash the storefronts of several shops. The police have a rough time mastering the situation, but early in the evening, after a few hours, they restore the calm.

Hundreds Of Bees Are Dropping Dead Around 5G Cell Phone Towers In California As Controversy Mounts Around New Mobile Technology

New post on Now The End Begins

Hundreds Of Bees Are Dropping Dead Around 5G Cell Phone Towers In California As Controversy Mounts Around New Mobile Technology

by Geoffrey Grider

Hundreds of bees drop dead around ‘5G cell phone towers’ in California

Bizarre footage showing hundreds of bees dead on the floor surrounding what appeared to be two 5G cell phone towers in California has gone viral.

There is a lot of conspiracy theory being generated about the nascent 5G cell phone technology that has come online now in California and soon to the rest of the country. Some of it is hype and nothing more, but as is the case with the vast majority of conspiracy theory, there is a lot of truth to it as well.
As a kid growing up in the 1970's, I can well remember the cigarette ads in magazinestouting the virtues and benefits of smoking cigarettes. The tobacco companies denied for years that there was any link between smoking and cancer, and the US government backed them up because it was big business and everyone was making obscene amounts of money. But cigarettes and smoking does indeed cause cancer, all packs contain those warnings. On a personal note, both my parents died of stage 4 lung cancer caused by years of smoking the cigarettes doctors told them were OK. Now apply this same logic to cell phones, wifi and 5G cell phone towers.
Our mobile devices operate through microwave radiation, and that can be deadly. You should NEVER talk more than a few minutes on any mobile device with the device pressed against your ear. And guess what? Bluetooth wireless earbuds also use microwave radiation to transmit the signal, and you should never use those either.
A personal friend of mine, Doris, told me the story of what happened to her husband and brother. The two of them were great friends, and would talk to each other on their rides into work on separate trains in the morning and again in the evening coming home. Doris' husband held the phone on the left side of his head, and her brother held his on the right side. After a few years of that, Doris' husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor on the left side of his head and died. Her brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor on the right side of his head, is still alive, but the tumor is inoperable. You will risk the same fate with either a cell phone or wireless earbuds on the sides of your head.
5G cell phone towers and signals may not live up to the deadly hype we read about online, but neither should you take it lightly either. Now, about those dead bees...

Hundreds of bees drop dead around 5G cell phone towers in California

FROM THE DAILY STAR UK: The superfast broadband has sparked controversy since rolling out this year, with health experts claiming it could have serious side effects on humans. And there are now claims online that bees could also be affected after a video went viral. The clip – taken in Sierra Madre, California – shows the lifeless bodies of the bees lying on the ground.
But others questioned what was seen in the clip. Some pointed out the bees could just be drone bees – which die after mating. Others claimed the poles could not be holding 5G broadband, with one saying: “5G has only been installed in major cities, dude. It’s not in Sierra Madre and it probably never will be.”
It is not the first time bees have been filmed dying on the floor under mysterious circumstances.
After a powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck California last month, thousands of the creatures were filmed covering the streets.
While the real reason for the sight is hard to explain, scientists have often noted how animals and insects can act strangely in the lead-up to an earthquake.
One study in Northern Taiwan that monitored insect populations over a period when a 7.3 and 6.8 earthquake hit, noted 'large declines' in the number of individual insects and also individual species. READ MORE
