The US Navy: Dead In The Water?
Authored by Brent Ramsey via RealClear Wire
“Mission: The United States is a maritime nation, and the U.S. Navy protects America at sea. Alongside our allies and partners, we defend freedom, preserve economic prosperity, and keep the seas open and free. Our nation is engaged in long-term competition. To defend American interests around the globe, the U.S. Navy must remain prepared to execute our timeless role, as directed by Congress and the President.”
The preceding statement is from the U. S. Navy’s website.
There are many indicators that the Navy is at increasing risk of mission failure.
1 – Missing recruiting goals by thousands for two years in a row, missing its goal for FY 2023 by over 7000 new recruits. The impact of missing recruiting goals is cumulative. Its impact does not subside if in subsequent years deficits are not made up. Lack of manpower adds to the strain of a Navy struggling to meet its national priorities overseas. Failing to recruit enough people to man the Navy is a result of many factors. Since the Afghanistan debacle, the public’s faith in the military has plummeted to new lows. With relatively low unemployment, the competition for young people is high. American youth are less fit, less capable of serving in the military than at any time in our history. Fewer young people want to serve as the political left teaches them to hate our country, academia promotes socialism, and race hustlers malign our country for its supposed racism and white supremacy. Divisive ideologies like Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are now promoted vigorously up and down the chain of command in the Navy. These ideologies alienate the youth of what for generations was the most fertile recruiting grounds, white, southern, Christian Americans. This demographic is now increasingly averse to serving in our new politically correct Navy of DEI, Pride month, correct pronouns, drag queens, and transgender people. If the Navy cannot recruit now for the existing numbers of ships we have, we have no hope whatsoever of filling out the ranks of a Navy with much higher numbers of ships.
2 – Recently, due to the international wars simultaneously in Ukraine and Israel, and high tension in the Taiwan strait/South China Sea, the U.S. Navy had an almost unprecedented 8 Carriers at sea at the same time. The only three not at sea were unavailable due to long-term maintenance. Normally, the Navy might have three or four carriers at sea at one time. Navy ships and crews continually operating wear out rapidly. Typical deployments last 6 months. The USS Ford has been deployed for 7 months and SECDEF just extended its deployment in the eastern Med for the second time. The longer the deployment the more worn out the crew and the higher rates of equipment failures become. As deployments go on for longer and longer, the size of the crew shrinks due to illness, pregnancy, injury, and suicides. Typically ships returning to home port after a lengthy deployment are missing a substantial number of the deploying crew. This puts much more stress and strain on the remaining crewmen. The international situation with multiple wars demanding our attention simultaneously is eroding our Navy’s readiness at a high rate. When the ships and their crews wear out, there will be no alternative but to return them to port for re-fit and rest for the crews regardless of whatever pressing mission the ship is on. That the Navy does not have enough ships is now obvious to even the most casual observer when multiple hot spots in distant seas occur. When the proverbial stuff hits the fan, the very first question everyone, including the President asks is, “Where is the nearest carrier?”
3 – The Navy’s high suicide rate over a lengthy period demonstrates the leadership’s tragically being unable to ameliorate the problem. The higher the OP tempo, the longer the deployments, the more arduous the maintenance periods are, the more inadequate berthing arrangements are for ships in long term overhaul, aggravate already high stress environments and seemingly make things unbearable for too many of our sailors. The Navy seems content to muddle along with scores of sailors killing themselves year after year and the heart-rending loss of life continuing as an unsolved problem. We Navy folk like to call ourselves warriors and most of us fit the description of selflessly putting ourselves in harm’s way for the benefit of others, for the benefit of our nation. But what does it say about our culture to have so many warriors who end their own lives because somehow our organization does not recognize their despair until it is too late, and they have taken the irreversible step and ended their own life? Considering how extremely selective the Navy is at screening those who volunteer to serve, why do such high numbers of exceptional citizens, with all that the Navy has to offer, choose to end their own lives? Are our leaders so overwhelmed by the work the Navy has them do that they cannot be close enough to their sailors to recognize those who are in extremis in time to help them?
4 – Notable institutional leadership failures in multiple major program areas and multiple high profile operational failures are now far too common. Examples include well documented cases such as the LCS and Zumwalt ship classes, the USS Ford class’s cost overruns, lateness, and multiple of its ship systems not being fully operational (EMALS, ammo elevators, arresting gear, etc.) even years after being in commission. An egregious example of a mammoth leadership failure was the loss of the USS Bonhomme Richard, a multi-billion-dollar capital ship that due to negligence was allowed to burn at the side of a pier, a $3B loss with no replacement. A total of 45 Navy leaders were disciplined due to this one incident. The grounding of the USS Connecticut with this vital attack submarine being out of commission for years for repairs. The USS Gettysburg has been out of commission for over 8 years undergoing modernization. Four of the seven cruisers selected for modernization will instead be de-commissioned after the Navy has spent billions on upgrades. The collisions of the USS McCain and USS Fitzgerald with commercial shipping were failures of leadership that led to the deaths of 17 sailors.
5 – In the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act the Congress established the size of the Navy to be 355 battle force ships. According to the United States Naval Institute as of 6 November 2023 there are currently 291 battle force ships in the Navy. The predictions from the Congressional Research Service are that the size of the Navy will stay relatively the same for the rest of this decade before it slowly starts to increase in size in the 2030’s. In 2022, then CNO Gilday announced that the requirement is actually much higher, in excess of 500 battle force ships. Multiple other experts’ analyses confirm those higher numbers. The PRC’s PLAN is already at 350 combatants and building at a rate at least four times that of the U.S.
6 – In the FY 2023 NDAA there was a provision to establish a Commission to study the Navy and its requirements. The report of the Commission is due to the Congress by July 1, 2024. As of this writing, the commission has not even been formed. The Secretary of the Navy and the CNO should be urgently pressing Congress to get this Commission up and running. Furthermore, the Navy should be proactive in suggesting Navy advocates serve on the Commission or serve on the staff of the Commission. It is vital for the defense of the nation to have the definitive knowledge of what the Navy’s true requirements are in 2023 in the face of multiplying threats all over the world.
Conclusion: All of these factors outlined above make it clear that our Navy is in extremis. There are not enough ships to do the mission nor enough manpower to man the ships optimally. Deployments are too long, and our people and ships are wearing out. Recruiting is stagnant. Too few ships, not enough people, not enough shipbuilding, or repair capacity have us on the brink of mission failure. To put the size of the Navy in perspective, when this officer went aboard ship in 1970 to conduct anti-submarine patrols looking for Soviet ballistic missile submarines, the Navy had 792 battle force ships in commission. We now have 291. Then we had a cold war against one adversary, the old Soviet Union. Today we have adversaries all over the world and are trying to perform the mission quoted above with a tiny fraction of the ships we had decades ago. As a maritime nation with treaty allies all over the world coupled with our dependence upon the sea for 90% of the commerce that keeps our economy running, it is a travesty that such neglect of the Navy has occurred. Who is at fault for this neglect? Congress is ultimately at fault as it holds the power of the purse. However, it is incumbent upon senior Navy leaders to make the case for the right size Navy. The CNO and every other Navy flag who testifies before Congress should be sounding the alarm about the imminent failure of the Navy to perform its mission now in “peacetime” with multiple hots spots in Europe, the Middle East, and in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, and even more importantly in the next actual fighting war. Someone long since should have laid his stars on the table to make the point to politicians that we need more ships and more manpower for the survival of our nation. Our way of life and our very lives are at stake if we do not rebuild our Navy to an adequate size to perform its vital worldwide mission.

Before YOU can understand the TRUTH of the Bible Prophecies, which take up 2/3 of it, or anything similarly complex, you have to decide to be TOTALLY objective and analytical about the FACTS presented and not distracted by irrelevant "clap-trap" from organised religions and "holier than thou" theories. The Bible itself warns you NOT to be led by the "blind guides" of Organised Religions and politics (Isaiah 3 v 12-15) (Matt. 23 v 13, 16 & 24).
Like reading "blue-prints" or "electrical circuit-diagrams" there is some learning to be done & fortunately the instruction for this is in the Bible, and, as you might expect, some of it is coded to stop idiots interfering with the meaning. So it is IMPERATIVE to get the BEST translation - the new "King of kings' Bible" by JAH - Authorised by God; or use the previous best - the king James 1611 original, which is the only human-kingly Authorised Version and not modernised Satanically corrupted translations done by successive churches.
Let's take a look at some of the codes to get you started, so you may agree when you look up the chapter and verse, if you care to check it out.
SUN - The Throne of David - (Psalm 89 v 36) - which is the British Throne. The "Stone of Scone" is Jacob's Pillar and Israel's Throne of David.
MOON - Reflects the light of the SUN. The SUN is the British Throne and the "Commonwealth" reflects her light and power (like the moon does to the sun).
STARS of heaven - U.S.A. (50 on their flag, "STAR spangled banner" etc.)
HEAVENS - Political systems (above the mountains).
MOUNTAIN - Government - (Micah 4 v 1).
EARTH - Downtrodden people (oppressed and poor).
EARTH-QUAKE - Great upheaval of the EARTH (as above).
SEA - Restless, moving people who are not as oppressed and are free to move around (Psalm 65 v 6,7).
WATERS - Peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues (languages) (Apocalypse/Revelation 17 v 15).
HORN - kingdom
UNICORN - Unique horn - "One Kingdom, world without end" - God's Kingdom on Earth - soon.
OLIVE - The "House of Israel" - (people not country)
FIG tree - Jews (Matt. 21 v 20), Christ cursing Judaism for ever in verse 19.
DAY - Year in prophecy (Ezekiel 4 v 6) (Revelation 9 v 15).
MONTH - 30 years in prophecy (Rev. 11 v 2,3 - 42 x 30 = 1260).
SEVEN - The number of completeness in Scripture.
You need to use your common-sense to see what is logical and sensible and whether the words are to be interpreted in their normal way or in God's code. A perfect example of this is when Christ said, "IF, you have enough faith and you say to this mountain, fall into the sea and it will (Matt. 21 v 21)", it obviously did not mean an actual mountain and the sea. It was coded. It is obviously possible for God to cast a mountain into the sea but why should He want to destroy a beautiful mountain that He Himself has created? It means government (mountain) and restless dis-satisfied people (sea).
Think about it. A mountain (govt.) towers over and looks down upon the sea (people) and the sea looks up at the mountain. The sea (people) cannot remove the mountain (govt.) without a tidal-wave. IF you have enough faith and tell the people the TRUTH of God's Perfect System of Government and Laws, you can create that tidal-wave with God's help, for everyone's benefit. SIMPLE.
Now you can start to decode the Prophecies and understand some of them. You cannot decode all of them because God says so, in many places e.g. Daniel was told that the words of one Prophecy were sealed until the time of the end (Daniel 12 v 9). Apocalypse/Revelation chapter 5 tells you that the Book (Bible Prophecy) given to John was sealed with 7 seals. That means completely sealed, because 7 is the number of completeness in Scripture:- 7 days of creation; 7 millennia; 7 churches; etc.
The COMMANDments; Laws; Statutes; Judgements; Economic Policy; Agricultural Policy and Diet are all written in "plain language" for EVERYONE to understand and Live by, but the Prophecies are written in code.
The Prophecies are written in code for two good reasons:-
1. They were not meant to be understood at the wrong time, i.e. the majority were not meant to be understood by the people of the time when they were written. They were meant for the future, sometimes a few, sometimes hundreds and sometimes thousands of years in the future. The last ones are still being fulfilled, today.
2. The Prophecies warn of what is going to happen to the rich rulers of the Earth, and the Churches, who have worked with the rich to keep the masses in the dark; down and poor, by helping the rich to hide God's PERFECT Laws and substitute the rich people's oppressive and illegal laws.
The rich rulers set the curriculum in their schools and control all knowledge given to the people so that they can control their minds and enslave them. If they could understand what the Bible says about them and how evil they are, they would have destroyed the Bible.
God, knowing ALL things and ALL people, knew this and so wrote the Bible Prophecies in code, to protect them from destruction by our rich and evil rulers.
Harsh description? But in God's eyes, according to His Bible, very TRUE.
APOCALYPSE
REVELATION Chapter 6
"And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a BOW; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
The white horse represents the horse upon which God's Witness (Rev. 19 v 11 & 1 v 5) (Isaiah 43 v 12) rides, as in Revelation 19 v 11.
The TRUE Israel People have, on their "Coat of Arms", a lion and a unicorn which is shown as a white horse with one horn. The lion is the main emblem of the two-tribed "House of Judah" and the unicorn is the main emblem of the ten-tribed "House of Israel".
The "Coat of Arms" is therefore the rightful property of the 12 tribes of ISRAEL and Christ their KING. The word British is Hebrew meaning "the People of the Covenant" (Israel).
However, in this instance referred to in Rev. 6 v 2, the person riding the white horse and witnessing for God (Isaiah 43 v 12) is Joseph, who carried a BOW.
If you refer to Genesis 49 v 23 you will see, from the cross-referencing, that Joseph (his descendants) was to have a BOW and, with God's help, his branches were to run over the wall. Jacob (Joseph's dad) was told by God (Genesis 28 v 14) that his seed was to spread forth to the West; East; North and South, in that order, which of course Joseph did, proving that God's Word is eternally TRUE.
The horseman had a crown given to him which is the crown of Israel, eventually to be worn by the TRUE King of Israel - Christ. The British Throne is the Throne of David (The Lia Fail / Stone of Destiny).Joseph went (his tribe) West to America and then East to India/Australasia and then North to Canada and finally, South to Africa in exactly the same order specified in God's Prophecy in Genesis 28 v 14, conquering and to conquer - "The British Empire". The British thought they were clever but the Glory is God's alone because He defeated their enemies to fulfill His Prophecies and His Master Plan.
The tribe of Joseph is, in fact, divided into two:- Ephraim and Manasseh. Joseph had two sons called Ephraim and Manasseh who, today, are the English and Americans respectively. Abraham, Joseph's great grandad, was told by God that, "in Isaac shall your seed be called" (Genesis 21 v 12). Isaac's sons - Saac's sons - Saxons. The British/English and the Americans are Anglo-Saxons. God's Word is ever TRUE.
Joseph/Ephraim (the English) went forth conquering during their witnessing period, when they took the Bible around the world for God, fulfilling the days of their prophecy (God's Prophecies about them).
Joseph/Manasseh (the U.S.A.) split off from their brothers the English and Ephraim lost a colony (Isaiah 49 v 20) and then went East; North and South.
Joseph/Manasseh (the U.S.A.) also spread forth taking the Bible around the world and became a great people (Genesis 48 v 19) whilst Joseph/Ephraim (the English) became a multitude/Commonwealth of Nations and God made their name GREAT (Genesis 12 v 2) - Great Britain.
During the 1260 years of their witnessing and fulfilling of God's Prophecies, they were assisted by and defended by God, as stated, by God, in Genesis 49 v 23 & Revelation 11 v 3-6.
Unfortunately, although protected by God whilst taking His Word (the Bible) around the world, they did not allow God to water the seed/truth (Rev. 11 v 6) because they did not "live by" (believe - by live) the Bible and Covenants that they made with God, two of them, the Old Covenant/Testament and the New Covenant/Testament. The terms and penalty (punishment) clauses are contained in those Books.
I said, unfortunately, for them, because they are going to be punished by God for breaking the Covenant/contract (Rev. 11 v 7) and choosing to live by and inflict their own selfish, greedy and evil political systems on the rest of the world, instead of converting the whole world to living by God's Own PERFECT System. IF they had kept the terms of the Covenant/contract then the whole world would have, by now, become God's Kingdom on Earth:- One King - God; One Law; One people; One Kingdom at peace - world without end. The "Unique Horn - Unicorn."
However, they broke the terms of the Covenant and consequently the seed (truth) did not grow and the gentile world rejected God's Word (the Bible) because they wrongly assumed that what the Two Witnesses were doing was what it said in God's Book.
The gentiles rightly judged the "tree" by the fruit it bears and were revolted by the actions; greed and injustice of the political systems of the Two Witnesses and therefore these peoples; multitudes; nations and tongues/languages (waters - Rev. 17 v 15) were turned to blood (red - communism). Away from God to Satan. They were DRIVEN to communism by the actions of the Two Witnesses because the two witnesses have done to them whatever they liked, as often as they willed (wanted) - Rev. 11 v 6.
Now we come to the second of the four horsemen "And there went out another horse that was RED: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another (the red and white horsemen): and there was given unto him a great sword."
Karl Marx, the human and "visible" author of communism, working for his master Satan, claimed that he had been given a sword by Satan and he would drag God down from heaven and defeat Him with it. Rev. 6 v 4 - the second horseman on a red horse was given a great sword. RED is Satan's colour (Rev. 12 v 3 & 9).
In Rev. 11 v 7 we are told that in the same day (year) when the Two Witnesses have finished their testimony, which was to be the same year that Jerusalem was to be liberated from its "treading down by the gentiles" (Rev. 11 v 2-3), the beast would rise out of the "bottomless pit" (Satan's place) and make war against the Two Witnesses, and shall overcome them, and KILL them. Note well - KILL them.
The word gentile means "foreigner", non-Israelite - non-British people. Hence the British expression, nomatter where they might be, irrespective of whoever's country they might be in, "I am not a foreigner (gentile), I am British (Israelite)." They say it automatically to native people in foreign countries. That is illogical unless you refer it back to the words gentile and Israelite. They say it automatically as though God were speaking through them, which, of course, in this instance He is. Through them and to them at one and the same time, telling them that they are His chosen people Israel.
The British have always classed themselves as a "nation apart" from others and as being special but God chose them to be His SERVANT Nation NOT a master race.
The year that Jerusalem was liberated by British/Israel soldiers from Turkish/gentile domination was 1917. This same year (day in prophetic coded language) 1917 saw the RED communist revolution in Russia and the beast (system) that rose out of the "bottomless pit" (Satanically inspired and controlled) make war against the Two Witnesses for 70 years, all over the planet and will, soon, also, exactly as prophesied, overcome and KILL the Two Witnesses - the U.K. and U.S.A.
Jeremiah the Prophet was told that God would bring again the captivity (slavery) of His people Israel and Judah to punish them for walking contrary to Him, His Will and His Ways and Covenants (Jeremiah 30 v 3; restating Deuteronomy 28:68). That Prophecy is nearing completion at this moment. So, for those of you who think that the Bible is an out-of-date Book, now you can see that the Bible is more up-to-date than tomorrow's newspaper, and next week's too.
The third horseman of the Apocalypse rode a black horse. "And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances (weighing-scales) in his hand." He was told the weights and measures and told not to hurt the oil (Olive) and the wine (Vine) - Israel and Judah - the people of the 12 tribes.
This horseman represents unfair (black) trading and "ripping people off", driving entire nations into poverty for monetary gain, by the rich rulers of the world. These people are not kings and presidents. Kings and presidents do not rule the world any more than prime-ministers and politicians do. This world is run by a small group of EXTREMELY rich jews who are known as "The Hidden Hand". They say they are Jews and are NOT. They are the "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 3 v 9).
"The Hidden Hand" is the very same organisation that was running the world for Satan 2000 years ago and was behind the "Sanhedrin" and engineered the crucifixion. They decided to crucify the "King of Israel" rather than give-up their immense wealth and power.
These people were condemned by Christ when the FIG tree was cursed in Matt. 21 v 19. The FIG tree is the symbol of Judaism.
These same people had already been previously condemned as traitors by God through Jeremiah in the third chapter of Jeremiah - note well verses 9-11 - "Treacherous Judah".
Christ acknowledged that Satan was running the world through these people and their political systems, calling Satan "the prince of this world" in John 14 v 30. They were referred to as being "the sons of Satan" by Christ in John 8 v 37-47, and condemned in Matt. 23 as being hypocrites for their evil legal and political systems - "Woe to you Scribes (lawyers) and Pharisees (politicians), HYPOCRITES."
The third horseman was told not to hurt the oil and the wine - the 12 tribes of Israel - but they have been hurt. "The Hidden Hand" have infiltrated the Western Israel Nations and taken control of them and used them and abused them, to "rip-off" the rest of the world and make entire nations POOR, driving them to communism and hatred for Joseph and the Jews.
The Olive from which the "oil" comes was Jacob/Israel's emblem (Romans 11 v 24-25) which he gave, along with his name Israel, to Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh [not to Judah - the Jews] (Genesis 48 v 16). We are told by God through Isaiah in 43 v 12, that you (Israel - Ephraim and Manasseh not Judah) are "My Witnesses."
If we look at history and national emblems yet again, we find more clues.
Joseph and the white horseman were both to have a BOW. The bowmen of England are the most famous in the history of the world and with God's help were not defeated (Genesis 49 v 24). Note well also where "the Shepherd" will come from - Joseph NOT Judah. NOT from the Jews.
Now look at the American Eagle and you will see that in its left claws it holds arrows, 13 of them. Britannia, in the full picture, sits under an OLIVE tree and the American Eagle has in its right claws an OLIVE branch, with 13 olives and 13 leaves on it. Israel, in Scripture, is referred to (metaphorically) as God's Wife and Britannia is a WOMAN not a man. Manasseh, the 1/2 tribe of Joseph, was known as the 13th. tribe of Israel. Look at American Symbols and you will see 13 over and over again. There are 13 stripes on their flag.
I could go into far more and minute detail on this subject but I will refrain because those who do not want to see will refuse nomatter how much proof I give them and those who do want to see will already be convinced of this TRUTH.
Revelation 11 v 3-4 tells us that God will give power to His Two Witnesses during the time of their testimony. "The Two Witnesses are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks."
Israel was to be God's Witness (Isaiah 43 v 10) and the OLIVE TREE was/is Israel's emblem (Romans 11 v 24-25) and Jacob/Israel gave the OLIVE emblem, with his name ISRAEL (his name was no longer Jacob - Gen. 32 v 28) given to him by the angel who redeemed him (Gen. 48 v 16), to Ephraim and Manasseh.
So, now we have two olive trees instead of only one - Ephraim and Manasseh and two witnesses and they became two candlesticks (Zechariah 4 v 3) because they, during the days of their witnessing, translated the Bible (the Light) into almost every human language and distributed it all over the world, also fulfilling God's Prophecies (Rev. 11 v 3) about them.
The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse rode a pale horse. "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was DEATH, and HELL(fire) followed with him. And power was given unto them (the four horsemen) over the fourth part (1/4) of the earth, to kill with sword (weapons), and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." This horseman rode on a pale/sick horse (sickly GREEN in the Greek original text). The fourth horseman represents pollution and nature dying (sickly green) with famines; pestilences and plagues brought about by climatic changes caused by deforestation and pollution.
A quarter of the earth are killed by wars; famines; and with disasters; and with the beasts of the earth (diseases and plagues etc. carried by the beasts of the earth).
Hell-fire followed WITH him (Death), because, due to unjust and unfair trading getting people to grow money crops, instead of food, and causing deforestation and desertification of many regions creates hunger, and hunger causes war, war comes and then the REAPING of mankind with Hell-fire.
In Ezekiel 38 we are told that God will put "hooks into their jaws" (hunger) and bring them against the mountains (govts.) of the 12 tribes of Israel who have insufficient defences because of dis-armament.
Then, returning to the Apocalypse/Revelation chapter 6 again, in verse 12 onwards we are told that there was a great "earth-quake" (upheaval of the downtrodden masses) and the SUN (British Throne of David) became black (loses all of its power), and the MOON (British Commonwealth) became as blood and the STARS of heaven (U.S.A.) fell unto the EARTH (downtrodden people), even as a FIG tree (the Jews) casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind (in Ezekiel 13 v 11 we are told that "with a stormy wind will I rend/break down the wall of untempered mortar").
To refer back to Rev. 11 again for a moment we are told that the Two Witnesses will be overcome and KILLED. This refers to the very same battle - "The Battle of Armageddon" in the "VALLEY of JEZREEL" in Israel near Endor.
Then the HEAVEN (political systems) departed as a scroll when closed up (Rev. 6 v 14); and every MOUNTAIN (govt.) and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the Earth, and the great men, and the rich men and everyone asked their mountain (govt.) to hide them from Him that sits on The Throne (God) and from the wrath (vengeance) of the Lamb.
Next comes the REAPING with Hell-fire. Are YOU ready? Are you sure? Don't be over-confident.
Those of you who claim to be "SAVED" already, are WRONG. You do not mark your own test. Only the Lord marks your test and you will have absolutely NO say in it. So I suggest that you learn some fresh and real humility and start again, this time DOING what the Lord says and not what you decide yourself. The "Self" has to be "crucified DAILY" until it is DEAD and you want only to serve your Lord and the common good, keeping the COMMANDments; Covenants; His Laws and Ways and NOT your own.
Anyone who wrongly thinks that God is unfair and that He should have warned you, should read Ezekiel 38, paying special attention to verse 17 and the date. 2600 years He has been warning YOU. Isn't that FAIR?
Ezekiel 13 (extract)
Because the "foolish prophets" (politicians) have seduced My people, saying peace; and there was NO peace and one built a wall (N.A.T.O. and U.N.O.) and others daubed it with untempered mortar (non-hardening / useless cement), say to them that it shall FALL.
Therefore you shall not see any more vain prophecies: for I will deliver My people out of your hands and you shall KNOW that I AM the Lord.
And My hand will be upon the politicians that prophecy lies: they shall NOT BE in the assembly of My people, neither shall they enter into the "New Jerusalem" or the New Age. IMPORTANT - SEE Luke 19 v 27.
Ezekiel 38 (extract)
Thus says the Lord God; behold I AM against you Gog the prince of Rosh (Russia) Meshech (Moscow) and Tubal (Tobolsk) - the Western and Eastern Capitols of the U.S.S.R. (now called the C.I.S.): I will turn you back (from seeking peace) and put hooks into your jaws (hunger), and I will bring you forth, with all your armed forces and Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, Togarmah and ALL the earth with them against My people Israel (Britain and the British Commonwealth; America; Scandinavia; the Netherlands; the Baltic States; Northern France; Northern Spain and the Jews) to the lands of unwalled villages (walls of untempered mortar) without bars or gates (no defences because of defence cuts after the "so-called" peace dividend), when they (the politicians - foolish prophets) say peace, peace and there was NO peace.
There will be those, particularly of the Religions who will want to dis-agree (with the Scriptures and God) and be confrontational in an attempt at "Self"-justification. They may tell me I'm wrong, and may want to quote Rev. ch. 5 as a justification for continuing the existence of their evil organisations and "Self"-delusion that they are SAVED.
Just remember I am NOT wrong and if you want to KNOW how I KNOW the things that WILL lead to your SURVIVAL you should read "The Way home or face The Fire". It is NOT an easy road but it is the ONLY One.
Most have gone astray in the last 2000 years.
