God’s People, bāraḵ, and the Ways of the World

Last updated on: January 20, 2024 at 8:35 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

There is another controversy in the conservative-lead house over the once-praised speaker. A handful of MAGA extremists are holding Congress and the country hostage, while they demand their selfish and personal desires for funding the government. What is supposed to be a government by the people and for the people, not just a selfish personal or conservative agenda that has been corrupted by ungodly and un-American pursuits.

God’s People, Nāsâ, and the World

Last updated on: January 18, 2024 at 8:22 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week was a big test for conservatives and the nation. The Iowa caucus showed more than just who the party supports; it shows what people value the most. Exit polls reveal that a majority of the party still believes the last election was stolen, despite the lack of evidence and failed legal actions. The sad truth is most people won’t accept the truth if it isn’t what they like. Somewhere along the way, God’s people have forgotten the basics... Read more

The World, ‘Arar, And God’s People

Last updated on: January 14, 2024 at 7:05 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week has been a volatile week around the world. The conflict in the Middle East has escalated into a regional war. The Israeli-Hamas conflict has spread to every country where Jewish people have been welcomed. Greed and corruption have been spreading since the fall in the garden. The battle over the Promised Land isn’t just a physical war; it is a spiritual battle that touches every human on the planet and even the ground itself. Good versus evil heaven... Read more

Earlier this week there was an attempted launch of a lunar Lander to the moon. Actually, this year is the beginning of another space race as companies and countries look for ways to get away from Earth. For almost a century modern man has looked for ways to leave this planet. Whether many want to admit it or not, we all know this planet is cursed. Corruption Wars Weather extremes Natural disasters More recently there has been a renewed debate... Read more

There is no denying that this world is becoming more violent and unstable as we enter the new year. The United States has already seen its first school shooting of the year. Russia launched a ruthless attack on the capital of Ukraine this week. Last month there was a senseless shooting at a university in Prague. Gun violence is becoming more prevalent because the days becoming more evil. This world is fallen and doomed. Violence Pride Greed Humanity... Read more

God’s People, Yom ha-Din and the Ways of the World

Last updated on: January 4, 2024 at 12:12 am By Martin Thomas Johnson

Today, the big news was the political stunt pulled by the House GOP visiting our southern border. Ironically there were bomb threats also called into a dozen states that oppose the top GOP presidential candidate. The political climate in the United States has been a volatile for over a year. Politics has spilled into other public arenas and private businesses too. Recently college presidents stepped down because they failed to speak out against anti-Semitism and their respective schools. We... Read more

Politics, Santa and The Melek Ha-Mashiach

Last updated on: December 25, 2023 at 10:15 am By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week the big news was the Colorado Supreme Court blocking the leading Republican candidate from being on the ballot. True to character, whenever the candidate doesn’t get what he wants he calls everyone else evil. Just like he did along with his MAGA conspirators on January 6th, 2021. Part of being an adult is understanding we don’t always get what we want, especially in politics. That is why we have a three-party system despite what the power-hungry MAGA... Read more

Over the last few weeks, there has been lots of storms and destruction around the world. As I write a volcano in Iceland has begun to erupt after a month of earthquakes. It seems almost demonic to have all of these bad events happening during Christmas. Christmas is often seen as a bright and happy time of year full of love and hope. The darkness occurring now seemingly opposes the light. But, darkness has always had a negative association with... Read more
