Let's get started.
Self-proclaimed Christians say that sex with pretty much anybody, anytime, is alright
with God.
A new coincidence theory involving Hillary Clinton and prophecy fulfilled by Black Lives
Matter.
This is Skywatch TV for Wednesday, August 24th, 2016.
I'm Derek Gilbert.
First up, U.S. commandos nearly hit by a Syrian air strike last week.
Team of special ops troops and Kurdish fighters came under fire from Syrian Su-24 war planes
Thursday.
U.S. fighter jets responded to their calls for help and just missed intercepting the
Syrian jets.
U.S. officials contacted their Russian counterparts who assured them they were not Russian planes
in the area.
Spokesman for the Pentagon said the area is not exactly a no-fly zone, but said the Syrian
regime would be well-advised not to interfere with coalition forces.
This just kind of illustrates how dicey the situation is in Syria right now.
Russians are operating in northern Syria where those U.S. commandos were in support of the
Syrian regime, and if those planes had in fact been Russian and had in fact been intercepted
by American jets, we would be talking about something else right now, a lot more immediate
and important.
The State Department is warning Americans not to visit Iran.
Apparently, Iran is now making it a priority to detain American citizens in their country.
Why not?
I mean, apparently, we Americans are worth about $200 million a piece in ransom.
Your site in Houston on Saturday about 20 protesters carrying white lives matter signs
demonstrated outside the headquarters of the NAACP.
Protesters told reporters they were calling attention to the NAACP's failure to condemn
the abuses of the Black Lives Matter movement and the killing of white police officers.
Supporters of Black Lives Matter gathered across the street in a counter-protest, both
groups left peacefully.
Now, sadly, that was not the case in Akron, Ohio, early Sunday morning when a group of
seven white men were attacked by five black men and two white men shouting Black Lives
Matter.
The assailants punched, kicked the victims, assaulted them with bottles, knocked one man
unconscious, arrests were made by the Akron PD shortly after the attack.
George Soros, the billionaire financer who's been providing financial support for Black
Lives Matter and other progressive groups, has been revealed as one of the key supporters
of an event in Washington, D.C., called the D.C. Rally for Refugees.
This is scheduled for this coming Sunday afternoon.
Soros and his Open Society foundations are funding a number of left-wing organizations
that are part of D.C. Rally for Refugees, the goal of which is drumming up support for
the U.N.'s Refugee Summit in September and, of course, President Obama's plan to surge
more Syrian refugees into the United States.
Turns out that President Obama wasn't really ignoring Louisiana last week while he was
golfing in Massachusetts, and, of course, the hundreds of thousands of people affected
by the tragic flooding in Louisiana.
The Department of Justice, in the President's absence, sent out a 16-page guidance letter
last week telling Louisiana residents not to be racist when hiring contractors to fix
their flood damaged homes.
A U.S. Senate candidate, Rob Manus, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, was a little upset
that the federal government's response to the country's worst natural disaster since
Superstorm Sandy was to send out a 16-page letter basically scolding people in Louisiana
not to be racist like they were after Hurricane Katrina.
Needless to say, Colonel Manus was just a little upset that the tone of the letter told
the Department of Justice that it could go to the subterranean place of eternal punishment.
I suspect that there are other people in Louisiana similarly offended by that letter.
This is all part of prophecy, though, when you look at this.
The anger here in this country between black, white, and brown, the anger and violence between
tribes and sects in the Middle East and all over the planet, in fact, Africa, the conflict
between our communities and people being brought in from outside by global elites and dropped
on us.
A couple of weeks ago in our weekly online Bible study, Sharon pointed out something that
I should have noticed, Matthew 24-7, where Jesus is talking about signs of the end, for
nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines
and earthquakes in various places.
The word translated into English as nation is the Greek word ethnos, ethnos.
That's the word from which we get the word ethnic or ethnicity.
It's talking really about groups of people, not nations as we understand them, not geopolitical
entities.
In fact, the word translated into kingdom is the Greek word basalia, which does in fact
mean nation as we English speakers would understand it.
So what's happening is that we are being divided up into tribes, ethnos, inside our nation,
basalia, and pitted against one another to keep us so divided by fighting each other
that we're not paying attention to what the global elites are doing.
It doesn't make it any more fun to live through, but it is at least encouraging to know that
this was all foreseen two millennia ago by God Himself who told us that this is coming.
Now you coincidence theorists out there, here's another one for you.
The FBI files that linked Hillary Clinton to the death of former White House counsel
Vince Foster have disappeared from the National Archives, coincidence.
The files reportedly referred to a meeting at the White House, a meeting of many of the
staff members there during which Hillary reportedly humiliated Vince Foster, said that he was
letting them down, was not protecting their interests, that many of the nominees that
Bill Clinton had put up for various offices that had to be approved by the Senate had
been shot down because they weren't vetted properly by Foster.
The FBI concluded that because of that meeting, that meeting was the final straw which on
top of his ongoing depression, apparently he did not take to life in Washington, D.C.
very well, that was the final straw that led to his suicide in July of 1993.
Now why the National Archive can no longer locate the specific files referring to the
treatment that Hillary gave Foster at that meeting cannot be found?
Coincidence.
Now, of course, there are many conspiracy theorists like me who believe that there's more to the
death of Vince Foster than just depression over the way his job was going, but that's
for another day.
I'm glad to see this next story is coming to light.
The International Congress of the Transplantation Society, that's organ transplants, opened
its 26th annual meeting this week for the first time ever.
It's being held in China, had not been held there previously because it's commonly known
among the community that participates in and research ways to better transplant human organs
that the Chinese had been harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience, political prisoners,
if you will.
So in spite of protests by experts around the world who contend that China is still live
harvesting organs from political prisoners, the meeting opened in Hong Kong.
Now this is a subject that was addressed by a recent documentary film called Hard to
Believe.
It's less than an hour long, about 56 minutes, it's been broadcast on a number of PBS stations
around the country.
And last week I interviewed the producer and the director of the film.
They say that as many as 100,000 prisoners a year, 100,000 political prisoners a year
may be harvested for their organs by the Chinese government in order to satisfy the demand
for organs from people in the West, Europe, North America, who can't get organs quickly
enough through our donor system.
Those interviews will be featured on my personal podcast in the month of September.
Well if that story alone isn't enough to convince you that the world is gone mad, well of course
it's not news to you if you've watched this program for any length of time, or if you've
been awake and paying attention for any length of time, United Church of Christ pastor, Bromley
MacLenahan, a female pastor at a United Church of Christ church just outside Chicago, has
published a book arguing that it's okay for single Christians to have sex as long as it's
mutually pleasurable and affirming.
Now to get around Scripture that says we are to be chased and to avoid fornication, MacLenahan
basically redefines chastity to mean moderating our indulgences and exercising restraint, which
apparently means if it feels good to all parties concerned and we don't overdo it, then it's
pretty much okay with God.
And meanwhile gay clergy in the UK are lobbying the Anglican Church to call on bishops there
to grant them full equality in the Anglican Church.
Now of course the Episcopal Church USA, which is a member of the Anglican Communion, is already
admitting homosexual clergy who are engaged in same-sex marriage, but the official position
of the Anglican Church is that homosexual priests should not marry, which is at least
more in keeping with the biblical stance on sexual relations with members of the same
sex.
But it is getting harder and harder in today's world to tell which sex is which anymore because
the proper term is no longer sex, but gender and gender we are told is fluid.
It's on a scale and it's not constant.
West Virginia University is just the latest taxpayer funded institute of higher, well
learning indoctrination really, to begin teaching students that gender is really a
wordy wonderland of non-binary pronouns like G, Z, E, M, T, T, V, V, and Viz.
And that if you don't use a person's preferred pronoun, you might be in violation of law.
In fact, the school has published a handbook for students recommending the proper way,
a non-offensive way, of introducing yourself to a fellow student.
Not fellow, another individual.
For example, my name is Derek, my preferred pronouns are he and him.
How about you?
According to the administration at West Virginia, using the wrong pronoun could be a violation
of civil rights because the U.S. Department of Education and Justice have affirmed that
transgender students are protected by federal sexual discrimination law.
And so, we are apparently going to re-engineer the binary pronouns of the English language,
in fact, just re-engineer the entire language for the three-tenths of the 1% who are confused
about their gender.
And here's another sign of the times.
From the Holy Land, the first Miss Trans Israel was crowned earlier this year, the pageant
was held in May in Tel Aviv, but the pictures are just now being published.
Telene Abu Hana, the first Miss Trans Israel described as a Christian Arab Israeli ballet
dancer.
He will represent Israel at the Miss Trans Star International pageant in Barcelona next
month.
The more I read about ancient religions, research I'm doing for a book I'm writing,
and the more I read the daily headlines, the more convinced I am that the spirit of the
age in which we live is that of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna.
She was also known to the Babylonians as Ishtar, to the Greeks as Aphrodite, to the
Romans as Venus.
Inanna was the goddess of sex and war.
Now, to those of us who were indoctrinated with Greek and Roman mythology, we know of
Aphrodite Venus as the goddess of love, goddess of sex, non-marital sex, sex in the sense
of temple prostitution sex, extramarital sex, and beyond that, in her Canaanite incarnation
as a start, the consort of Baal, she was also androgynous, represented by the planet Venus,
which is brightest, most noticeable, at dawn or at dusk, male in one form and female at
the other time of day.
And that's in keeping with the things that she represented, sex and war, a warrior goddess,
kind of androgynous.
Don't really, male, female could be either, gender fluid depending on the time of day.
Given that we are rising nation against nation, ethnos against ethnos in a land where gender
is the official policy of the federal government is that gender is not fixed, not binary, but
fluid can change from day to day.
I think we can make a very strong case that the spirit of the age in which we live is
that of Inanna Ishtar, a start, Aphrodite Venus.
This week on Skywatch TV, we think about the way music can change lives, powerful music
with a message, doesn't always have to come from a pipe organ.
We talk with members of Joe Horn and Broken for Good about why they make the type of music
they make and how they got from an idea to the forthcoming CD.
And next week, of course, we talk about the CD and the video for the lead track, Johnny,
which is powerful, it's moving.
