modern day passages from a true modern day Prophet of God….🙏🙏🙏
The restraining Spirit of God is even now being withdrawn from the world. Hurricanes, storms, tempests, fire and flood, disasters by sea and land, follow each other in quick succession. Science seeks to explain all these. The signs thickening around us, telling of the near approach of the Son of God, are attributed to any other than the true cause. Men cannot discern the sentinel angels restraining the four winds that they shall not blow until the servants of God are sealed; but when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there shall be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture. – Testimonies for the Church 6:408.
The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. The agencies of evil are combining their forces, and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. – Testimonies for the Church 9:11.
The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn. Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God's purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger. – Prophets and Kings, 277. ChS 52.1 – ChS 52.3
modern day passages from a true modern day Prophet of God….
"The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan" Ellen G. White, 1888, rev.1911
Chapter 36—The Impending Conflict….
Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same.Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them. GC 589.2
While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people … do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4, 5. GC 589.3
And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.” 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God’s ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah. GC 590.1
"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience." GC 588.1
National Apostasy Will Be Followed by National Ruin
When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land, and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:977 (1888). LDE 133.5
It is at the time of the national apostasy when, acting on the policy of Satan, the rulers of the land will rank themselves on the side of the man of sin.It is then the measure of guilt is full. The national apostasy is the signal for national ruin.—Selected Messages 2:373 (1891). LDE 134.1
Roman Catholic principles will be taken under the care and protection of the state. This national apostasy will speedily be followed by national ruin.—The Review and Herald, June 15, 1897. LDE 134.2
When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing that which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin.—Evangelism, 235 (1899).LDE 134.3
When the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church—then will Protestant America have formed an image to the papacy, and there will be a national apostasy which will end only in national ruin.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:976 (1910). LDE 134.4
I highly recommend 'Conflict of the Ages' series of five books by Christian Author Ellen G. White

Duh Trump didn’t care give Puerto Rico Statehood

Sandy Katrina Maria Fiona Ian. Well you won't know all things about hurricanes til u experience one.
President Biden cares more about Ukraine
Don't hold your breath. Joe does not have family business interests in PR like he does Ukraine. Sorry.
Puerto Rico? Didn't they get robbed their last disaster? Buncha money for them went to Hillary's buddies pockets or some crap instead of where it was supposed to go…
Here's an idea. Dump PR. Be your own country. Sick of paying for you.
🙏 TURN TO JESUS TODAY(Romans 5:9)because God is about to unleash His full blown wrath on this whole world very soon and Jesus is our only hope, you do NOT want to be here!🙏
Nahum 1:2-10 KJV
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. note
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 But with an OVERRUNNING FLOOD he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
The climate is surely changing in the name of Jesus!
Job 38:22-38 ISV
22 Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen where the hail is stored,
23 which I’ve reserved for the tribulation to come, for the day of battle and war?
24 Where is the lightning diffused or the east wind scattered around the earth?
25 “Who cuts canals for storm floods, and paths for the lightning and thunder,
26 to bring rain upon a land without inhabitants, a desert in which no human beings live,
27 to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert, causing it to sprout vegetation?
28 “Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the dew?
29 Whose womb brings forth the ice? Who gives birth to frost out of an empty sky,
30 when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?
On the Heavens
31 “Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion?
32 Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs?
33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you regulate their authority over the earth?
34 “Can you call out to the clouds, so that abundant water drenches you?
35 Can you command the lightning, so that it goes forth and calls to you, ‘Look at us!’
36 “Who sets wisdom within you, or imbues your mind with understanding?
37 Who has the wisdom to be able to count the clouds, or to empty the water jars of heaven,
38 when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods?
Jeremiah 25:32 KJV
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
Isaiah 24 ISV
The Earth is Judged
1 “Watch out! The LORD is about to depopulate the land and devastate it; he will turn it upside down and scatter its inhabitants.
2 It will be the same for the lay people as for priests, the same for servants as for their masters, for female servants as for their mistresses, for buyers as for sellers, for lenders as for borrowers, and for creditors as for debtors.
3 The earth will be utterly depopulated and completely laid waste — for the LORD has spoken this message.
4 “The earth dries up and withers; the world languishes and fades away; heaven fades away, along with the earth.
5 The earth lies defiled beneath its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore the curse keeps on consuming, and its inhabitants are declared guilty. Furthermore, the inhabitants of earth are ablaze, and few people are left.
7 The new wine evaporates; the vine and the oil dry up; all the merrymakers groan.
8 “The celebrations of the tambourine have ended, the noise of the jubilant has stopped, and the mirth that the harp produces has ended.
9 No longer do they drink wine accompanied by singing; even beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.
10 The chaotic city lies broken down; every house is closed up so that no one can enter them.
11 There is an outcry in the streets over wine; all cheer turns to gloom; the fun times of the earth are banished.
12 Desolation remains in the city whose gates lie battered into ruins.
13 So it will be on the earth and among the nations— as when an olive tree is beaten, or as gleanings when the grape harvest has ended.”
Glorifying God
14 “They raise their voices; they shout for joy; from the west they shout aloud over the LORD’s majesty.
15 Therefore, you in the east, give glory to the LORD! You in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the LORD God of Israel!
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise: ‘Glory to the Righteous One!’ “But I say, ‘I am pining away, I’m pining away. How terrible things are for me! For treacherous people betray— treacherous people are betraying with treachery!’”
The Universal Impact of Judgment
17 “Terror and pit and snare are coming in your direction, you inhabitants of the earth!
18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit, and whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. For the windows of judgment from above are opened, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 The earth is utterly shattered, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard; it sways like a hut; its transgression lies so heavy upon it, that it falls, never to rise again.
21 “And it will come about at that time, the LORD will punish the armies of the exalted ones in the heavens, and the rulers of the earth on earth.
22 They will be herded together into the Pit; they will be shut up in prison, and after many days they will be punished.
23 Then the moon will be embarrassed and the sun ashamed, for the LORD of the Heavenly Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and in the presence of its elders there will be glory.”Jesus is coming soon! Luke 21:36
1 Thessalonians 5:9, Romans 5:9, Revelation 3:10, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Hebrews 9:28, TItus 2:13
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
What did you expect from dementia joe. He can’t find PR on a map. 😂😂

I would think they'd be used to the mainland not giving a s**t about them by now. This is how poorly we treat all of our territories, which is why the pacific ones are increasingly going over to China.
60 millions for PR, billions for Ukraine. Sad…!
Luma energy is a private company contracted after hurricane Maria with ties to the republicans and has not been in a hurry to restore power ever since its contract.
Biden is slow folks
Hey PR, reach out to Zelensky in Ukraine. He can share the BILLIONS Biden has sent them.

Biden promised them a 5% off a Butterball Turkey coupon to ease their suffering. America is back baby!
Must be a racist president again.
Maybe more of them should pay FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
