  1. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

    "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39'

  2. and nuclear power isn't going to solve problem when hydrofluoric acid only makes water fearing land and water fearing people

  3. they have a billion people drinking, it's not shrinking, it's becoming an empty bottle, hope they like making water from seawater or buying a water pipeline from Russia

  4. Everyone is suffering from a drought yet wouldn’t hesitate to be at each other’s throats instead of helping

  5. January 5, 2022, President of Taiwan: "Taiwan's democracy and freedom must win." Taiwan is one country and not part of China. 台湾是一个国家,不是中国的一部分。台湾是一个国家,不属于中国。🇯🇵🇹🇼🇺🇦🇱🇹🇺🇸🇯🇵

    The Chinese government has no diplomatic options anymore. US military officials believe China will invade Taiwan by 2027. It can be assumed that Japan will also have a military clash with China in five years.🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇺🇸🇯🇵

    AUKUS's (Australia, UK, US) strategy to produce nuclear submarines for Australia can integrate Taiwan into the larger Indo-Pacific Union. Together also with Japan strategically, we provide mutual cooperation on defense capabilities.🇯🇵🇬🇧🇳🇿🇺🇸

  6. Don't worry about it people climate change is just a "myth".!!!

  7. It was flood, flood, flood last years. Many black hearted people were wishing that the 3 gorges dam would collapse.

    Now it is drought, drought, drought,

  8. Don't put blame of global warming on the normal activities of human being. Not sure how much we can do without affecting people's life and make some cheater (like Musk) rich! We should focus on big causes: forest fires and ocean species and cow and many others, now even Russian – burning nature gas worth tens of millions every day.

  9. (Chinese: 天命; pinyin: Tiānmìng; 'Heaven's will') 
    "They have lost, the Mandate of Heaven!" Was an ancient Chinese expression, when nature (disasters) and people, take away leaders right to rule! Seems appropriate, at this time? CCPs Done? 🤪

  10. I'm curious who isn't in a drought. this is insanity. Cows, humans, dogs, cats, chickens sucking the planet dry.

  11. Who cares about China, let them suffer

  12. Its Gods intervention for persecuting thousands of Chinese Christians

  13. Its Gods intervention for persecuting thousands of Chinese Christians

  14. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
    "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
    So you must be careful to do everything they tell you.
    But do not do what they do,
    for they do not practice what they preach.

    They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders,
    but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see:
    They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
    they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
    they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant.
    For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
    and those who humble themselves will be exalted".

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  15. We really need to start taking climate change seriously! China is suffering right now so much including wild fires but then they have the audacity to cut line of communication with the US on this matter!? Xi is an embarrassment, he should step down and let Li take over!

  16. Cihui world worsen keep competing each others between China – US

  17. Oh boy. I suppose India and/or Taiwan is gonna get some PLA aggession up next.

  18. They best make all their peeps come home or they're all gonna die.

  19. When America's lakes run dry, only corpses and battleships will be found. When China's lakes and rivers run dry, only culture will be found

  20. That's funny just a few months ago three gorgeos dam was about to burst

  21. Allhamdullilah free the uhygirs for the punishment to end.

  22. These droughts seems like movies 🎬 🎞 when people leave earth and go to space or so-called big satellites ,where women can't get pregnant anymore 🤔
