by Robert Anthony April 26th 2024 The Fundamentals for Revival Series  Part Two: The Return of the Brotherhood I     I grew up in Church.  I have heard hundreds if not thousands of sermons.  I think something happened to us, as Christians.  I think Christianity was hijacked a long long time ago.  If we, as Christians, were to forget everything we have been taught (and mostly we have been taught thru religion), reread the New Testament and then obey it – our Christianity would look unbelievable different!    I realize I sound so radical writing these things.  I don’t mean to be so radical but if the Christianity around us is content to worship God however they see fit but without concern for how God actually wants to be worshiped; and if I am one of the few who are actually interested in what God says, wanting to adhere to His Word – then yes, I would seem quite radical to many.    I might write about it later?  I don’t know if it will help us to try and figure this out but somewhere along the way, we got off track and built this religion.  I would have to define religion as “Man’s way of approaching God, as opposed to how we actually enter into relationship with Him.”  Simply put, religion is man-made .  I have so much to say on the subject actually and maybe I will in the next articles...  This could easily be a book I write.   So, forgetting for a moment all the religious tradition and dogma that permeates our understanding of the things of God – let’s return to the Bible, anew.    Losing our  religion, and returning to the story of God, who sent His Son to us, Jesus Christ, our Messiah, what do we actually see?  Jesus came to us humbly, without pomp and circumstance, without the nations bowing down before Him, without armies surrounding and protecting the coming of the Son of God… Jesus came, born in what we would call a barn .   The Son of God remained rather modest and discreet among us.  Even though He would perform miracles, miracles that have never been recorded in the whole of human history, the Son of God remained rather contrite and understated.  He was entirely meek all throughout His ministry and life, having absolute power from God and yet choosing to remain somewhat obscure, withdrawn and one might even say, in hiding…   Look at what His brothers and sisters said to Him on occasion, “Depart [from here], and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is  no man that  doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If [you can] do these things, shew thyself to the world.” (John 7:3-5) And then the scripture records, “For neither did his [family] believe in him.” The Son of God chose all throughout His life and ministry to remain as if hidden, withholding of Himself but revealing Himself to whomever He chose.   This is a very important point to consider: God’s own Son was extremely purposeful, choosing who to hide Himself from and who to reveal Himself to.  Here is another story I enjoy: Jesus had just finished rebuking the religious leaders and they were so angry with Him, as they often would be, they “rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.” (Luke 4:29) The religious leaders and religious zealots were out of their minds angry, ready to throw the Son of God off a cliff and murder Him!  But Jesus, “passing through the midst of them went his way…” What did He do?  Or how?  How did He do that!?  How do you simply “pass throughout” “the midst” of an angry crowd ready to murder you and leave!?  Did He make Himself disappear?  What on earth did He do to peacefully leave them!!?  It’s a truly remarkable story. But even moreso remarkable, to me, is the way Jesus chose to deal with that crowd.  If I was God’s Own Son, imputed with the powers of creation, having absolute authority over it, even able to bend and break it’s natural laws, like walking on water or calming a storm with my words, I might choose another way of dealing with evil and wicked, religious zealots.  In another story, another one of my favorites, John 18, Jesus sends the band of soldiers coming to arrest Him, probably around 600 strong, tall men, to the ground! At His word!  They asked, “Where is Jesus of Nazareth” and Jesus responded, “I am He”.  And “as soon then as He had said unto them, I am He , they went backward, and fell to the ground.”   So in one occasion Jesus shows us He is more than able to destroy, even at merely His word but in another occasion we see Him being ever so merciful and patient with the people, instead of destroying them, simply “passing thru the midst”.  The Son of God had all power and authority throughout His days on the earth and yet He chose over and again to love us, to extend mercy and compassion, even towards His enemies!     So what was the Son of God’s purpose on the earth?  He clearly wasn’t showing off.  He was very purposeful in everything He did.  I think this is one of the keys to unlock the whole story and not just Jesus’ story but to unlock the whole story of God!  The Son of God came to save us, without a doubt and He chose to do so by pouring Himself into twelve men, twelve men who became His best friends .   I think we miss this because of our form of religion.  I think our religion obfuscates and veils actually who God is.  I think looking thru the lens of religion we see a very different version of Jesus and His kingdom.  I believe once we remove these dirty and curved glasses, we will be able to see Him as He truly as, even as if for the first time ever!   Jesus ministered to the masses but only at times .  The way I see the story, and I think this is Biblical, the Son of God chose for Himself twelve friends, twelve friends who also chose to befriend the Son of God, leaving all that they knew for Him, and they, together, grew in closeness, intimacy and friendship.  In the same way we will share everything with our best friends, Jesus withheld nothing from those twelve friends of His.   Reread the New Testament, I believe this is the truth of the story and purpose of God’s Son and His time with us.  He would minister to many people all throughout scripture but then He would always retreat and find time to be alone with His buddies, His bro’s. He had three closest friends out of the group, I love the story wherein He took them atop a mountain and the Bible describes, He transfigured in front of them, shining like the sun and becoming something altogether different than a man.  The Son of God literally revealed everything of Himself to His best friends.   He wasn’t interested in fame, actually.  He wasn’t interested in being known .  He was actually entirely content to hide Himself and often.  This is a truth all throughout scripture.  How many times did He heal someone and say, “Tell no one.”  His mother wanted Him to help out at the wedding (when they ran out of wine) and He rebuked her, telling her, “Woman, my time has not yet come.”  (But Mary assured the attendants at the wedding that Jesus would listen to his Mom and do her this small favor for her friends.)   How much of the power of God in Jesus’ life wasn’t even recorded!?  John ends his gospel in such a way, “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”  What we do know, and clearly, is that Jesus had absolute authority over His creation (which He made) and yet constantly withheld of His power, even unto death!  What an amazing and beautiful story is the true story of God!   Then, even at the end, He didn’t even pray for the world, He wasn’t focused or concerned about the masses but He went into the garden and wept, praying for His very best friends. John 17, “I pray for [my best friends]: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are yours.”  Such a wonderful and beautiful and intimate and amazing story of God!  He is so much better than we are, so much more loving and genuine and caring and intimate and perfect – and we are all so messed up.  But it’s Ok.  He knows.   I love the story of God.  I love talking about it, writing about it, singing about it, etc. – I love everything about God and His Son, Jesus.  I hope this has blessed you all...      God chose to treat us like friends, like His own family, like brothers  – and yet we are ruled by men and rule over men? Even in His name…?  Jesus was abundantly clear on this point, “Be Brothers and Friends” – listen to what He commanded them – “But Jesus called them unto him , and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:25-28)   I would paraphrase this scripture like so, “The world and the powers of the world function thru dominance and hierarchy but with you, who are my Apostles and Disciples, let it not be so.  If you want to be great in my kingdom, become the true servant of men.  Whosoever would be the greatest among you, would be the best minister, the one to serve them the best!  Even as I came to you humbly, broken, contrite and meek, often withholding myself and my power, so you give your lives for them, even as I have.”  I think that’s a pretty good paraphrase.   We were never supposed to dominate or crush the world into submission, but to love them.  We weren’t supposed to create this religion but to become very close friends, the family of God on the earth .  But somehow, we become this religious version of Christianity.  We should repent, change our ways, learn to be brothers and sisters, and become again the family of God.  I have so much to say on the subject.He sent them out by twos!  Reread the scriptures.  There wasn’t a man ruling them all.  There was something like a body or family of believers.  Throughout the scriptures we are taught that there are all kinds of parts of the body, many different roles and participants and gifts in the family: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers; other gifts like, tongues, miracles, healing, faith, prophecy, governments, etc.  There were bishops, deacons and elders appointed among them.  Christianity, what was given to us originally, is a teamsport .   In many ways we really need to scrap everything we are doing and start all over again, like hitting the reset button on a computer. We need to start a fresh, asking God, “How do we live as your children on the earth?  We really don’t know how to do it…”.   And in doing this, a countless many leaders and elders and rulers and old men and women will oppose us.  Jesus said, “Drink New Wine!”  But answered Him, “The old is better.”   There is something broken about us that doesn’t like to change, we are often rebellious and want to do things our own way.  We like to stick to what we know often because we are afraid, afraid of the unknown.  But this is not what it is to be children of the Living God.  I have so much more to say about this.  I pray that many hear me.  If we return to Him and chose to live out our days walking with Him, loving who He loves, being the family of God…. We will see the victory!  Even with our own eyes!   More to come.       (Great song - on Topic)

by Robert Anthony April 30th 2024 The Fundamentals for Revival Series Part Three “The Return of the Brotherhood II”   I was thinking this morning about all the brothers that have come in and out of my life (and I have had some really awesome brothers!).  Considering I have preached in some 40 US States and 15+ nations, considering how many ministries, nonprofits and churches I have been a part of, the fact that I traveled almost full time for 8+ years… I met a lot of (Christian) brothers.   I want to testify that I have seen the position(s) get in the way over and over - well, money and position, I should say.   We tend to look at the world and blame, everyone.  We blame the politicians, we blame the rich, we blame the atheists, the nonbelievers, the satanists, the pagans, the muslim’s, the jews, etc..  I remember when Obama was President and the body of Christ was so upset!  So many were preaching he would be the antichrist .  But we have the power, brothers.  WE  have the power.   You see, the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us!  I don’t know that that same Spirit lived in Obama.  Judging by his actions, its hard to believe he was being ruled by the Spirit of God while destroying so many of the foundations of God.  But he never had the power.  Never.  But we have the power.   We blame people who are powerless to change anything (for the good)?  What kind of sense does that make.  We look at the most worldly, fleshly and rejected by God and waste our time and energy judging them!?  If the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in us, then we have the power to make changes – and therefore the fault lies almost squarely on us.  Sorry if that seems harsh, but we  are in fact the Living Breathing, Body of Christ left on the earth. Now, I don’t want any of you to feel judged or condemned.  I’m merely reminding us all, all my brothers, of the actual power we have.  But the devil is a chief strategist.  He really is.  He gets us all fighting among ourselves, competing, envying one another (like Cain envied Abel, until finally he put righteous Abel to death), and worse.  His strategy has been rather simple since the beginning – get the armies of God on the earth in confusion, full of offense, separated one from the another and they will be powerless.  And it has been working.  It has often worked since the very beginning.   The fact is, we never had a chance against him, not without the presence of God ruling in our lives.  We have always needed these fruits of God reigning in us, in our Churches, in our families: love, and joy, and peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control.  But we, like sheep, all go astray.  All of us: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, bishops, elders and deacons… All of us, like sheep, go astray.   How are you, men, going to go to war without a band of brothers?  How are you going to stand against this evil, which has veiled the masses, even large numbers among our fellow saints, which has penetrated nearly every power-center of our world today, and fight alone?   But if we would all go to war?  Everything would change.   Something quite dramatic changes in men when they are at war.  We don’t have time for petty differences, we don’t have time to argue endless debates and waste time in meaningless squabble.  Go To War!  Suddenly when our lives are on the line, we will quickly figure out how to get along, how be brothers.  Ever hear, “There are no atheists in a foxhole”?   It was a surprising bonus, how much easier i found it to remain in the presence of God as a missionary.  I didn't expect this as another reward of serving Him.  Sleeping in the mid-huts in Africa, on endless flights over never-ending oceans filled with turbulence, bad weather and rough landings, stuck on trains with my pregnant wife in the middle of ex-Soviet Russia while she’s having terrible morning sickness, rarely having much more than enough money for the day in my pocket, in the midst of the battle it was much easier to remain in His presence.    But it’s unbelievably hard to do it alone.  When I left the country I practically begged three of my closest brothers: “Come with me!”  The first said, “I have debts to pay off,” the second said, “I just started a business and I need to attend to it,” and third said, “I just got engaged and need to start a family…”. I’m pretty sure there is a parable somewhere in the scripture that sounds this way… Hahaha.  But I praise God, I was never too much alone, I had true brothers everywhere I went.   In America we are in the belly of the beast.  In as much as Rome was very much the beasts headquarters, we have a unique position to be able to hold back the darkness from spreading the world (and overtaking it) from within the USA.  But it will take an army.  The days of celebrity-superstar, lone-preacher are over.  That’s old-fashioned now.  Anyone interested in what God is doing upon the earth now will come to the conclusion, Our Father is restoring the brotherhood .   “One will put a thousand to flight but TWO will send the legions fleeing”!  Here’s another one, “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”  Jesus said, “Two or more of you gathered together…” and I will be in Your midst.  He said, “Two or three of you agree on anything in my name, and it shall be done for you.”  John 17 He prayed, That we would be One and Agree .   We can not live the reality of this Christian life having another man to rule over us.  It’s simply not possible.  We can not be ruled and free at the same time.  We can not rule them and free them together at the same time.  We must choose, brothers, do we want to rule them or to set them free?  Jesus set them free .  Who are we to subjugate them to ourselves?   There exists a place for (servant) authority in this brotherhood.  It’s not complicated or challenging.  Both things function together, in the kingdom of God – and God remains The Lord, The Shepherd, The King over all.  How did we miss this?  “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” And then we try to exalt men and put them over other men?  Brothers, it should not be so.  Let the Spirit have rule over them – we should serve them and love them…   Jesus is returning for the body but He is returning also for a brotherhood.  I can preach on this for hours because it’s everywhere throughout the scriptures.  In Revelation, 5 churches get rebuked, 2 churches do not.  Of the two churches who do not get a rebuke, one of them is more or less neutral, not incredibly edified but not rebuked either - but one church clearly stands out among the rest: The Church of Philadelphia .  “Philo” translated means, “ Brotherly Love ”. As they say, THAT WILL PREACH !   Jesus is returning for the Church of Brotherly Love .   I hope this truth changes us all.   I hope it penetrates our hearts.   The world is lost, dying, alone and afraid They need to see the Light of Christ shining thru us   And “They will all know we are Messiah’s, by our love, One for another…”   Amen.

by Robert Anthony May 20th 2024 ( In Ukrainian Below - Нижче українською ) The Ukrainian Constitution is a surprisingly amazing document, giving tremendous power into the hands of the Ukrainian people – they formed a true democracy in 1991.  What is commonly known about Ukraine are it’s scandal’s, political corruption and tumultuous beginnings but there is a rich under-belly of democracy and freedom that permeates throughout its, especially modern, history.  More about the Ukrainian constitution in a moment.   It is not a secret that Russia has been waging a kind of unconventional war with the west over control of Ukraine.  Many Russian people are not satisfied with the demise of the Soviet Union and the loss of such power throughout the world.  So, in spring 2014 Russia turned this political war into a conventional war, taking Crimea by force.    It’s difficult for us in the west to understand a people who desire war and conquest.  Perhaps because we have been on the winning side of history for so long?  But many among the Russian (and Chinese) people have a deep-rooted patriotism but also a jealousy  towards the west so much so that they are willing to go to war, to take for themselves by force a better life.   We, in the west, cannot understand the poverty throughout places in Russia (and China).  Western poverty looks nothing like it does in many nations throughout the world.  When Russia offers their new recruits $2,000 USD a month  with a $50-70,000 bonus to their families if they die that is like winning the lottery for many of those living in abject poverty throughout Russia’s interior, who often make less than $200 USD a month! ( Russia is now paying Cubans to come and fight in their invasion .)   Russia (and China) will have its army funded and fully staffed for years to come, even without a draft.  Originally Putin had tried to draft himself an army (about 6 months after the war began) but hundreds of thousands fled Russia.  He quickly shifted his strategy to raising the minimum wage for a soldier and has had this policy for a year and half now.  The sad reality for Russians is that the majority of them will die before even collecting their second paycheck!    The truly amazing Ukrainian constitution allows for religious/moral exemption from any compulsory military service.  When the war began in Ukraine a draft immediately ensued and by and large, those protections in its constitution were upheld.  And it’s vital to understand, the democratically elected leaders of Ukraine shut their borders down on the very first day  at the start of the war!  All Military aged males (18-60) were prohibited from leaving the country without certain permissions.  So many were trying to flee the country, especially in those earlier days of the war that it would take three, four and five days to cross Ukrainian borders!  ( It’s hard to imagine exactly what it’s like to watch upwards of 5 million Ukrainians fleeing their nation! ) (Ukrainian refugees walk alongside vehicles queuing to cross the border - walking in Ukraine to Moldova on February 26, 2022) Within three months of the start of the war, policy changed dramatically and the Ukrainian government stopped upholding these protections.  And worse yet, Ukrainian war officials started grabbing men off of the streets and throwing them into recruitment centers  (Called TRCs or Territorial Recruitment Centers) and often tossing these civilians to the front lines!  Ukraine’s borders have since remained shut to any and all civilian men trying to leave the worn-torn homeland.   And none of this is news to the funding partners of Ukraine’s war.  The EU, the UK, our own USA, everyone is fully aware of this simple fact: Ukraine will run out of troops well before Russia will. All of these draconian measures forcing Ukrainians to war will not change the simple fact that if the west wants to keep Ukraine out of Russia’s hands, the west will eventually have to provide boots on the ground, in a real hot-war against the old Russian Bear .    I can’t help but wonder if Putin would have invaded Ukraine if there was a different leader in the White House, or at 10 Downing Street, or among the EU Parliament?  How intimidating would it have been for Putin (and Xi, and Putin’s other partners) to invade Ukraine knowing that a united western force lay in wait for them!?  Putin took Crimea while the left was in power, 2014.  He waited and watched the 2016 election and then was rather subdued during the Trump Administration.  Seems rather easy to forecast what Russia and her partners will do following the 2024 election.   ---------------------------------------   More than 1,000,000 souls have perished to date from this new round of Russian aggression.  Contrary to many policies, continually throwing money at this nightmare in Ukraine will never win the war - the souls of men will absolutely be required.  Certainly, we  do not want a world war unfolding in Europe and the Middle East (and then in Taiwan?) but we  did not decide to invade a sovereign nation. (And we  did not encourage Hamas to slaughter some 2,700 Israeli’s, mostly civilians on Oct. 2023.)   The numbers are staggering in Russia!  Something like 80% of the nation supports Putin and his war effort (at least publicly these are the numbers being reported).  Many of the Russian people are still bitter having lost so much of their old Soviet Empire, many are envious and willing to fight and take back those nations by force insomuch that they might have a better (even more western) life.  And much of the Chinese people’s sentiment is similar to that of Russia’s.     Have we, in the west, finally past the point of no return?  Is this the three or four front world-war scenario unfolding that we have been fearing for the past 60+ years?  The months ahead and the impending election will reveal much.   For the time being, is it in Ukraine’s national interests to keep the borders closed to civilian male migration and forcing conscripts into their standing army ?  Perhaps the pressure coming down on President Zelensky convinces him and his administration so but in truth he is ensuring that Europe will remain on the sidelines.  As the President of a nation, is his commitment to lands, businesses, money and positions of power or to a people ?  I would argue his commitment is first to a people, all other structures in the nation be damned.  Without a people, united and alive, there is no nation but only an empty shell that was once a thriving society. (Ukrainian refugees line up to receive residence permits - Prague, Czech Republic, March 2, 2022) “Let the proverbial chips fall where they may, Ukraine.”  You can do no wrong in keeping yourself committed to your people!  Nations rise and fall throughout the whole of history but will your leadership be remembered as a group of tyrants who allowed the Russian bear  to slowly grind and devour your families into oblivion - or will you be remembered as the true friends and leaders of Ukrainian who put the innocent first, above pieces of land and title – ensuring Ukraine lives on in its people, for generations to come!? Will Europe come to Ukraine’s aid in her hour of need, even sending in troops?  History is being written each day.  For certain imprisoning your men, their families and civilian population is not helping to convince Europe of the desperation of the hour.  Now reports are emerging of men trying to escape the Ukrainian draft being shot at their own borders !  And these tyrannical policies reek untold havoc on morale and actually work against the cause that is saving Ukraine!  ( This is the new law just passed making it even harder for men to leave the country .) (From CDM.press Ukrainian man shot trying to cross border) None of us in the west want to see Ukraine lost to Russian ambition and greed.  Europe must not stand by idly watching Russia take by force whatsoever her heart desires, many other adversary nations are watching.  Our western competitors have declared economic war, a propaganda war, sowing social unrest - stoking division among our nations, toying with our elections, etc. but now they seem to be surrendering to the eventuality of a hot-war, World War III-scenario.  How the west responds in the few months ahead, rallying behind its allies and partners: Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, etc. will either give permission to the enemies of peace and freedom to expand their campaign or retreat, unwilling to pay the cost of standing against a united allied force.   I pray President Zelensky, his administration and military turns and decides to weigh their decisions based on eternity, looking to their policies lack of legacy, remembering that these are short-lived, shifting allegiances who are negotiating to keep the innocent people of Ukraine at war but their own nations at a distance.  It seems to me these Ukrainian leaders are ensuring the ruthless howbeit slow-moving demise of their country as they continue to kowtow these powerful and wealthy European elite.  Praying these leading Ukraine relent from this myopic and unpatriotic strategy in which they have thrust upon their people.   (Ukrainian children hold placards during a protest outside the Russian embassy - Bucharest on October 14, 2023) Fight for the families of Ukraine!  Have faith!   Goodness and even miracles can happen when we choose to do what is right in the sight of God and man!  Take heart!  There is a God in heaven who will fight for you, Ukraine… But we all must surrender to His much higher  ways. Praying for the war to end in Ukraine now, For the Russians to return to their homeland And for peace to be restored. Як Україна зможе вижити в цій ситуації?! Автор: Роберт Ентоні Конституція України є надзвичайним документом, що дає величезну владу в руки українського народу – вони створили справжню демократію в 1991 році. Що зазвичай відомо про Україну, то це її скандали, політичну корупцію та бурхливий початок. Але є багате підґрунтя для демократії та свободи, що пронизує всю її, особливо сучасну, історію. Більше про українську Конституцію за мить. Не секрет, що Росія веде свого роду неконвенційну війну із Заходом за контроль над Україною. Багато росіян невдоволені розпадом Радянського Союзу та втратою величезного впливу у всьому світу. Тож навесні 2014 року Росія перетворила цю політичну війну на реальну, захопивши Крим силою. Нам на Заході важко зрозуміти людей, які прагнуть війни та завоювань. Можливо, тому, що ми так довго були на стороні переможців історії? Але багато серед російського (та китайського) народу мають глибоко вкорінений патріотизм, а також заздрість до Заходу, настільки сильну, що вони готові йти воювати, щоб силою здобути для себе краще життя. Ми, на Заході, не можемо зрозуміти бідність у таких місцях, як у Росія (і Китай). Західна бідність виглядає зовсім не так, як у інших країнах світу. Коли Росія пропонує своїм новобранцям 2 000 доларів США на місяць  із бонусом у 50-70 000 доларів їхнім родинам у разі смерті, це як виграти в лотерею для багатьох із тих, хто живе в жахливій бідності у глибинних районах Росії, де часто заробляють менше 200 доларів США на місяць! (Зараз Росія платить кубинцям, щоб ті воювали на їх війні) Росія (і Китай) буде мати свою армію профінансовану та повністю укомплектовану на багато років вперед, навіть без призову. Спочатку Путін намагався мобілізувати собі армію (приблизно через 6 місяців після початку війни), але сотні тисяч чоловіків втекли з Росії. Він швидко змінив свою стратегію і підвищив платню для солдатів і вже півтора року дотримується цієї політики. Сумна реальність для росіян полягає в тому, що більшість із них загине, перш ніж навіть отримає другу зарплату! Дійсно дивовижна Конституція України дозволяє звільнення від будь-якої обов'язкової військової служби за релігійними та світоглядними підставами. Коли війна почалася в Україні, одразу було оголошено мобілізацію, і ці конституційні права, переважно, були дотримані. Важливо зрозуміти, що демократично обрані лідери України закрили кордони в перший же день початку війни! Усім чоловікам призовного віку (18-60 років) було заборонено залишати країну без спеціальних дозволів. Дуже багато людей намагалися втекти з країни, особливо в перші дні війни, так що для перетину українських кордонів потрібно було три, чотири і навіть п'ять днів! (Важко уявити, як це – бачити, як понад 5 мільйонів українців тікають зі своєї країни!) (Українські біженці йдуть поруч із чергами автомобілів, що перетинають кордон України з Молдовою 26 лютого 2022 року) Приблизно через три місяці після початку війни політика змінилася кардинально, і український уряд припинив дотримуватися конституційних прав українців. Більше того, українські військові працівники почали хапати чоловіків з вулиць та доставляти їх до призовних центрів (так званих ТЦК або Територіальні Центри Комплектування), часто відправляючи цих цивільних прямо на передову! Українські кордони з того часу залишаються закритими для всіх цивільних чоловіків, які намагаються залишити розорену війною батьківщину. І все це не новина для партнерів, що фінансують війну в Україні. ЄС, Великобританія і наші власні США – всі вони повністю усвідомлюють наступний простий факт: в Україні військо закінчиться набагато раніше, ніж у Росії. Всі ці драконівські заходи, що змушують українців йти на війну, не змінять простого факту, що якщо Захід хоче утримати Україну від рук Росії, то зрештою доведеться надіслати власні сухопутні війська на справжню гарячу війну проти старого російського ведмедя. Не можу собі уявити, чи наважився б Путін вдертися в Україну, якби в Білому домі, на Даунінг-стріт, 10 або в Європарламенті був інший лідер? Як би налякало Путіна (і Сі, та інших партнерів Путіна) від вторгнення в Україну, знання того, що об'єднані сили Заходу готові дати відсіч!? Путін захопив Крим у 2014 році, коли при владі були ліві. Він чекав і спостерігав за виборами 2016 року, а потім був досить стриманим під час адміністрації Трампа. Здається, досить легко передбачити, що Росія та її партнери зроблять після виборів 2024 року. На сьогодні від нової хвилі російської агресії загинуло понад 1 000 000 людей по обидві сторони. Всупереч думці багатьох політиків, тільки вливання грошей у це жахіття в Україні ніколи не виграє війну. Абсолютно однозначно потрібні люди. Звичайно, ми не хочемо, щоби світова війна розгорнулася в Європі та на Близькому Сході (а потім у Тайвані?). Але не ми вирішували вторгнутися в суверенну державу. (І не ми заохочували ХАМАС до різанини приблизно 2 700 ізраїльтян, переважно цивільних, у жовтні 2023 року.) Цифри в Росії вражають! Близько 80% населення підтримує Путіна та його військові зусилля (принаймні публічно повідомляються такі дані). Багато росіян досі гірко переживають втрату значної частини своєї старої Радянської імперії, багато хто заздрить і готовий битися, щоби силою повернути ці країни, аби жити краще (мати більш західне) життя. І багато китайців теж мають подібні до росіян настрої. Чи ми на Заході нарешті перейшли точку неповернення? Чи це розгортається світовий воєнний сценарій на три або чотири фронти, якого ми всі боялися останні 60+ років? Наступні місяці та майбутні вибори багато чого розкриють. На даний момент, чи відповідає національним інтересам України тримати кордони закритими для цивільних чоловіків і змушувати призовників вступати до регулярної армії? Можливо, на президента Зеленського чиниться тиск. Хтось переконує його та його адміністрацію в цьому. Але насправді такими діями він гарантує те, що Європа залишатиметься осторонь. Як президент українського народу, його відповідальність лежить перед народом, чи перед землями, бізнесами, грошами та посадами? Я б стверджував, що його відповідальність насамперед лежить перед народом, а всі інші сторони не повинні братися до уваги. Без єдиного живого народу, немає нації. Не хотілося б, щоби залишилася порожня оболонка, яка колись була процвітаючим українським суспільством. (Українські біженці вишикувалися для отримання дозволів на проживання – Прага, Чехія, 2 березня 2022 року) “Нехай все іде своїм ходом, Україно.” Ти не помилишся, якщо залишишся вірним своєму народу! Нації піднімаються і падають протягом всієї історії. Але чи запам’ятається твоє керівництво як  група тиранів, які дозволили російському ведмедю повільно знищувати ваші сім'ї, чи вони, як справжні друзі та лідери України, ставлять невинних людей вище за землю і титули – забезпечуючи те, що Україна буде жити в її народі протягом поколінь!? Чи прийде Європа на допомогу Україні в годину потреби, навіть надіславши свої війська? Історія пишеться щодня. Безумовно, ув’язнення ваших чоловіків, їхніх сімей та цивільного населення не допомагає переконати Європу в невідкладності ситуації. Тепер з’являються повідомлення про те, що чоловіків, які намагаються втекти від українського призову, розстрілюють на власних кордонах!  І ці тиранічні політики завдають невимовної шкоди моральному духу та фактично діють проти справи порятунку України! (Щойно прийнятий новий закон ще більше ускладнює життя чоловікам та виїзд з країни.) (Згідно CDM.press , цього українського чоловіка застрелили при спробі перетнути кордон) Ніхто з нас на Заході не хоче бачити, як Україна стане здобиччю російських амбіцій і жадібності. Європа не повинна байдуже спостерігати, як Росія силою захоплює все, що їй заманеться. Багато інших ворожих нам країн спостерігають за цим. Наші противники оголосили економічну війну, пропагандистську війну, сіють соціальні заворушення – розпалюють розбрат серед наших народів, втручаються у наші вибори, тощо. Але тепер вони, здається, схиляються до неминучості гарячої війни, сценарію Третьої світової війни. Те, як Захід відповість у найближчі місяці, об'єднавшись зі своїми союзниками та партнерами: Україною, Ізраїлем, Тайванем, тощо - або дасть дозвіл ворогам миру і свободи розширити свою кампанію, або змусить їх відступити,  оскільки вони не забажають заплатити високу ціну протистояння об’єднаній союзницькій силі. Я молюся, щоби президент Зеленський, його адміністрація та військові змінили свої рішення, орієнтуючись на довгострокові цілі, а не на короткочасні плани своєї політики. Пам’ятайте, що ці короткочасні, мінливі союзи із західними політиками ведуть до того, що вони змушують невинних людей України воювати, а свої країни тримають осторонь. Мені здається, що українські лідери на даний час забезпечують безжалісну, хоча й повільну, загибель своєї країни, продовжуючи підкорятися цим могутнім і заможним європейським елітам. Молюся, щоб керівники України відмовилися від цієї короткозорої та непатріотичної стратегії, яку вони нав’язали своєму народу. (Українські діти тримають плакати під час протесту біля російського посольства – Бухарест, 14 жовтня 2023 року) Боріться за свої родини, українці! Вірте! Чудеса можуть статися, коли ми обираємо робити те, що правильно в очах Бога і людей! Будьте мужніми! Є Бог на небі, який буде боротися за вас, Україно… Але ми всі повинні підкоритися Його вищим цілям. Молимося за негайне припинення війни в Україні. Щоб росіяни повернулися на свою батьківщину. І щоб мир був відновлений.

By Robert Anthony May 25th 2024 (L. Glotzle depiction of Melchizedek blessing Abram, who would become Abraham, father of many nations.) The Fundamentals for Revival Series Part Four “A New Covenant includes a New Priesthood”   In this Article* you will Read: Let us open ourselves up to receiving something New of God! The Mediator of the New Covenant from God (with man) was of a New Priesthood and fulfilled the old covenant, to perfection. What do we actually know about this New Priesthood? The scripture declares it is the order of Melchizedek.  But we love our traditions so much!  I am worried that we allow our traditions more prominence than the actual Word of God. In Closing: What is in fact the fullness  pertaining to the Church for which Jesus is returning? *Suggested Reading: most (if not all) of the book of Hebrews, Psalm 110, Genesis 14 and Jeremiah 31:31-36       1.   Many of us around the Church and preaching for years, many of us who went to Bible Colleges and seminaries, many of us raised in organized religion have heard of the things pertaining to the gospel of Christ and perhaps thousands of times but how much do we really know of the holy and eternal  things of God?   Whether or not we admit it to ourselves, we are like children looking into eternity, something that we simply cannot comprehend with our natural minds and trying to make sense of it all – and then often trying to teach it.  Some of us, more convinced than others, declare to the congregation, “We See!”  But the trouble is, all of our forefathers, of whose foundation we are all now building upon, agreed quite to the contrary, saying, “We see in a mirror only dimly and we only know in part, only then we will see fully even as we are fully known.” (I Corinthians 13:12)   What we have we hold to by faith.  And Jesus teaches us to live humbly, and of this matter He rebuked the religious leaders of His day, saying, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.” (John 9:39)  It would be better that we would remain humble, teachable, like children, understanding that in all our years seeking Him, even into our eighties or nineties, we will still be merely as children to the Living God, peering into eternity as if almost blind.   Our God is a mystery and yet we know Him!  He is past finding out and yet He is our Father.  We seek Him and we find Him and yet we will still be discovering Him well into eternity.  Throughout our walk with God, we are peeking into eternity and trying to grasp something literally out-of-this-world!  Wisdom would perhaps tell us, let us minister the holy things of God with a modicum of reverence, Godly fear and humility – and allow God to lift us up and to give us the eyes to see. Amen?   2.   In all our preaching, church services and studies, what has actually been revealed to us about this mysterious figure, Melchizedek ?  Hebrews actually has more to say of him/Him than anywhere else in the Word of God.  But there is a very revealing passage of scripture in Psalm 110:4, “The LORD-Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art  a priest for-ever after the order of Melchizedek.”  And then Hebrews recites this prophecy over and again, 6 times the author of Hebrews refers to Jesus being of the order of Melchizedek  (and not of the order of Aaron, of the Levites)!   One would think we would have entire courses in Bible college and throughout Christendom unraveling this mystery and yet, this foundational truth almost never even discussed.   Jesus was not a Levite but according to Moses’ first covenant, the covenant given to the Israelites and Jews, a High Priest had to be a Levite.  Hebrews  does a wonderful job explaining how Jesus could make intercession for the whole world (who would believe on Him) and yet be of Judah, not Levi .   Hebrews also explains a new covenant comes with new laws!  “For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” (Hebrews 7:12)  This story is getting deeper and deeper the more we read!  A New Covenant, A New Priesthood and now New Laws!?  What an amazing mystery!   Let’s begin more or less at the beginning, where this all this newness began, Jeremiah 31:31-34:   “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that  I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be  the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”   And it has been written,   “Behold I make all things new!” (Rev. 21:5 and 2 Cor. 5:17)   3.   But what really do we know of this new covenant, priesthood and new set of laws?  What we tend to preach all throughout the churches very well pertains to the forgiveness of sins, the sprinkling of blood, the exaltation of Messiah who is the Son of God and some of the prophecy of the end of the age.  But whereas the old covenant was to be administered around a tabernacle, a holy place, a land and a people, we lose sight of the administration of this New Covenant - I fear we, as the Church, hardly understand the distinction in two covenants at all.    We know well that the old covenant gave power over to the priests to make intercession for the people, to offer sacrifices for the remission of sins and to pay gifts unto God upon an altar.  We know well the old covenant ways of seeking out a man to be our mediator, raising him up, giving him titles and honor and looking to that flesh and blood for our way to God.  And yet the whole of the old covenant way of abiding with God was all but fulfilled and is about to be done away with.  Return to Hebrews, chapter 6, verse 1:   “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God…”   Did we just read to “leave the principles of the doctrine of Christ!?  The author of Hebrews is encouraging us on to perfection, to not remain as babes forever drinking milk, but to mature, to stop sinning, to come up higher  and sit at the feet of our Messiah and learn of His ways!  To be brought before the very presence of God and come to know Him, individually, uniquely.   But just as the people would not go up the mountain with Moses to meet God, today’s church is too often content to find for themselves another man (pastor/priest) to make the attempt in him to live their faith.  Brothers and sisters, this must not be so.  We may not have complete understanding of this new priesthood and covenant but what we should be able to see clearly throughout the gospel of the kingdom is that thru Messiah, God is now our Father – and we were restored to be with Him, uniquely .   Melchizedek was clearly king and priest (we learn throughout scripture).  The Son of God we know now was King of all creation, the heavens and earth, but we also know that He is our High Priest - making intercession for us before the throne of God.  We of His Church are now of that order of Melchizedek thru Christ Jesus our Lord.  Scripture is unbelievably clear on this subject.  Jesus teaches us clearly, “No man might come to the Father but thru me.”  But that also means to us, WE CAN GO DIRECTLY TO THE FATHER!   This concept of being able to go directly to God was not introduced in the Old Covenant.  Of the things we don’t see clearly about this New Covenant, certainly we should be able to see this: in Christ Jesus, God is now our Father .   4.   There is plenty throughout the New Testament of scripture pertaining to this new priesthood, although it is not referred to as a priesthood because in Christ we are ALL PRIESTS AND KINGS!  We have to lose a lot of tradition to get this truth into the deep places of our soul.  We do not need another man to come before the throne of God, the Son of God already made the way.   Paul, one of Messiah’s apostles, writes plenty pertaining to the administration of the Church.  Most all of his letters, as given by the Holy Spirit, are explaining the day-to-day function of the Church.  But Paul focused his writings exhorting the flesh and blood leaders as opposed to function, as if to say, how  the church might function.  In fact, we have very little about how the church should function outside from the stories in Acts.    Throughout the whole of scripture there is very little about how to have something called a “Church Service” or “Have Church”.  Those commandments regarding function are simply not in the entirely of scripture.  Let me explain:   In Acts we learn that they gathered “Daily” and met “House to house” and “Breaking Bread” they ate together and gathered daily in prayer, “with gladness and unity (singleness) of heart” (Acts 2:40-47).  Even as the church spread the nations, we learn that they were having meetings in their houses. In Romans 16:5, 1 Cor. 16:19, Colossians 4:5 and Philemon 1:2, Paul asks at least five times throughout his letters to the churches, “Greet the churches meeting in your houses!”    But again, throughout the whole of the New Testament we simply do not find anywhere it lays out to us a method of “Church Service” but almost to the contrary we are taught often commandments of how we engage when gathered together.  1 Corinthians 12-14 are fundamental chapters teaching us what to do as we gather, not necessarily as a format but as how the church should esteem one another and exhort each other in Christ.  I will write about this more later.   Foundationally, we have to reintroduce into the body of Christ that every one of comes before Him uniquely, that there is an order to the function of the family and a way in which we are to behave ourselves as the body of Christ, left to lighten the earth.   In Melchizedek now we are all Kings… and Priests!     5.   I don’t think it is clear to us how the entirety of the New Testament is actually our blueprint from God, given to reveal and explain to us what is this New Covenant!  (Remember, the Word New Testament literally translates, New Covenant .)   And to understand the fullness of this New Covenant is to come to know its administrator, its minister .   Who was and is the minister or mediator  of this New Covenant?  We have called upon Him, Jesus !  And He saved us.  Amen!  But then He left… remember?  So who remains the minister of this covenant now?   Jesus quite literally told them/us, “I am leaving you.”  In fact several times He told them so…   But He promised not to leave them/us comfortless .  He told us He was sending us the Promise of His Father , from heaven!  (This is all from John 14-16)  And this same Spirit, the Holy Spirit from God, would lead us into all truth, comfort us, help us find our way and reveal to us things from the future!  Now again, fundamentally, there was simply no church until the Holy Spirit  was given in that upper room.   The whole of the ministry of that first church was administered entirely by God’s Holy Ghost .  They would (daily) follow the leading of God as revealed by His Holy Spirit and they would not move until they were filled with His holy presence.  Reread the book of Acts with these things in mind.  The first Church was wholly devoted to following God by obedience to the Word of God and surrender to His Holy Spirit.  This is the New Covenant we were given by God and Acts explains it, chapter 2, verses 16-21:   “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”   Melchizedek was a foreshadowing of things to come in Christ.  He quite literally did communion with Abraham, blessing him with the breaking of bread and wine!  And it was AFTER the blessing of Melchizedek that Abram’s name was changed to Abraham!  The “Ham” in “Abra ham ” being added signified “The Breath of God” or the “Spirit of God” being imparted to Abram – another foreshadowing of things to come in Christ!   But men will create their own religion when they do not want to surrender to the ways of God.  Even more concerning, is that if men do not want God’s way, then aren’t they in essence making themselves out to be their own god… yet again??  This was also the sin of Cain when he offered to God a sacrifice that was unacceptable unto heaven.     The truth is we are incapable of ministering to the God of eternity.  We are far too broken, fleshly, limited and powerless to minister before Gods’ throne… that is another reason why our Father sent to us His Spirit.  “It is not by (our) might nor by (our) power by His Spirit says the Lord.”  His Spirit will even make our offering, sacrifice and worship pleasing before the Father… Amen??If we are to come into the fullness of the things of God in Christ Jesus, if the bride is going to make herself ready, all these things will come by the power of God, and thru His Holy Spirit.  (And His Holy Spirit manifested His Word, and these two agree, perfectly.)  We know that Jesus is at the right hand of God, they watched Him depart into heaven.  But now, Jesus is continuing His ministry to us thru His Holy Spirit, the same Spirit who will finish the work that He started.   It could be therefore summarized that the whole of the New Covenant was laid upon Christ Jesus, God’s only Son, who made intercession before the throne of God and so the Father gave to us His Own Spirit, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead.  And His Spirit now ministers to us, bringing all things to the glorious New Beginning that will be revealed come His day… Amen!!?Still plenty to pray about hidden in the mystery of this Melchizedek.  But I hope this inspires you all further into the mystery of God!    To know Him And to be known by Him…   Greatest love Because we are now His! - Robert   (This is a great 10 min. mini sermon that compliments this article.)

By Robert Anthony June 9th 2024 I am so impressed with this New Tucker Carlson, unshackled by the constraints of his past life!! Very wonderful interview. So much of what he is doing is inspiring! Must Watch!!

By Robert Anthony June 15th 2024   This Father’s Day I want to encourage Godly Manhood!   In fact I have been encouraging God-made manhood for many years now.  I have to report honestly that this has been the most controversial part of my preaching for something like 20 years.  You would think those who run the churches would welcome a man who is speaking the word of God, admonishing the men further into the things of God, but no… this ministry has been not only unappreciated but warred against I would estimate 9 times out of 10 throughout the churches.    Why would any church-leader have trouble with the men having authority, with the men being powerful, with the men being full of God’s fiery love and therefore… ALIVE!!?  What could possibly be the reason church leaders would strive against such a thing? Men, God created you to rule .  Technically the women were created to rule also but for this time men have been given the charge to lead, to lead the families, to lead the churches… Men were commanded all throughout the New Testament to lead (and not just the pastors or clergy).  And it all began, in the beginning.   Adam was given authority over all God’s earth and then He was alone with God for a time.  Later, God gave Him a helpmate/help-meet, Eve (and Adam named her, “the mother of all living”).  Even how God made Eve is allegorical of a woman’s authority and power, coming out of the man.  God took Adam’s rib and fashioned the woman.  It’s all right there in the beginning with that first family.  Adam’s authority coming from God and then the woman’s authority coming from God/Adam together.  Even the curse explains this in further detail, Genesis 3:16, “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be  to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ”  But again, in eternity everyone will be made new, we will all be “sons of God” – priests and kings unto Christ.  In eternity there will be no more male and female but only the “sons of God”. Warring against our design and the spirit within us (make or female) is to war against God. (Maybe, consider this for a moment.)  For a man to refuse to lead His family (especially to God) is a man refusing His God-given responsibility.  For a woman to refuse to follow her husband (especially to God) is for a woman to refuse her God-given role.  So, simply put, our families are broken because we don’t believe and then follow the word of God. Here is a longer article I have written on the subject that goes into all of this much deeper:   Brothers, that thing inside of us that wants to protect and cover and lead our wives and children is God-given.  Now obviously we need to become good-leaders, obviously there is a way to do this in love and all the things of love and there is a way to do this totally wrong.  And there are many who like to point out our shortcomings. Over the years I have heard many even from the pulpits pointing out our struggles to love them perfectly, making mention of how we have failed them throughout our past.  But it’s hard to lead.  Especially at first.  Many of us were never shown (from our dads, mentors, etc.) good and Godly leadership in the home.  For many of us we are literally completely unaware of how to do this (But the Holy Spirit will help us). Let us not be too hard on ourselves as we fail… and we ALL Fail sometimes. The early years of my marriage I was very harsh with my precious wife.  I had a rather short fuse and would not allow her much room to emote or complain, I was impatient and easily agitated but I have changed, by the power of God, Praise Him!  I am not that man anymore.  But it’s still hard.  Our marriages are under constant assault from the enemy.  He has had this plan all along, destroy the families and he will destroy the world.    Look at what Ephesians said, Chapter 5, Paul literally writes to us about HOW we are to love our wives.  We all know to love them, but How !?  Paul explains it in detail, verses 25-28, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”   I hope you see Paul’s message clearly.  What I just read told me to keep my wife holy, to keep her blameless and faultless before God’s throne… Paul said basically nothing about affection or romance or buying her things, but he absolutely told the men, “Keep your women holy!”   Not in Bible College, not in church, not in any marriage class did I ever hear such a thing.  The very simple teaching we have from the word of God is… “Keep your women blameless, set apart and holy.”  And this is what it is to love them!  Amen? It’s really true!  Bring sin and iniquity into the house, men and you will destroy your family quickly.  Bring various sins and lusts of the flesh and lusts of the world and the pride of life into your home… and watch everything fall apart.  Allow your wife to rule the family!?  Watch everything unravel, watch your children depart from the things of God as your generations become an easy target for the enemy as you refuse your God-given role to lead.  We were made to cover them, brothers.  We were made to have authority and protection over our children and to teach them, to lead them in this Godly way.   Many of our children have departed the things of God simply because the fathers would not take their place and lead them.  And to lead is a part of what it is for a man to love.  How do you have authority over your garden?  Well, if I stomp my garden, if I refuse to water it and allow the weeds to grow up and choke it out, it will die.  But if I, with great care and diligence, tend to my garden, watch over it, one might even say, love my garden… my garden will flourish!  This is allegorical of what it is to use our God-given authority… to rule them, to have authority over them is fundamentally, to love them .   If our hearts have grown hard, repent .  If we have ruined many relationships because of the hardness of our hearts, cry out to our God and He will heal us!  Listen to what He promised us thru the prophets, “I will take out your stony heart and I will give you a heart of flesh and blood” a heart that can break, heart that feels, a new heart, a good heart !   One time in prayer God said, “Robert, I can do many things but I can’t force a man to have a good heart.”  Quite profound!  God will not force anyone to be good.  If a man is content to destroy, to hate, to live in anger and vengeance, if I man loves evil and hates what is good, then his heart will grow hard like a flint stone and God will not force anyone to change.  Everyone has been given the power and authority to choose.  All of us. And God will not trample that freedom.   The Good News is, God wants to work with our hearts, He wants to work with our souls and make us good again, even like children, innocent and pure, trusting, trustworthy, hopeful and full of joy!  We can return.  Jesus told us, “Truly I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”  So we must allow the goodness of God in.  We must allow God to change us, even at the depths of our very being… and we must lead our families!   But where will we lead them?  With hardened or broken hearts, with iniquity and sin, with all the unforgiveness and bitterness - Where we will lead those who are most precious to us!!?  We must become something new if we are going to lead those we love the most into the blessing! Most men on their death beds are filled with regret and shame.  And why?  Because they can see their life so clearly laying there, about to pass into eternity – and suddenly they can take an accurate account of themselves and their choices.  All these rich and powerful men say similar things, they call them deathbed confessions and these always have to do with the family.  If only I had loved them better … they all come to the same conclusion - they should have loved their families better. But brothers, let’s not wait until we are on our deathbeds to repent and change!  Let’s become something New and Wonderful and Worthy, and Powerful in God’s love, TODAY!!  Let this be our Father’s Day gift – that we are going to learn to walk with God like never before, that we are going to love our families like never before, that we are going to remove sin and godlessness from our homes today and we are going to lead our families with our whole hearts into God’s love and perfection!  This most certainly is the greatest blessing - to lead our families in holiness and to come and walk with God!   And we can not do it alone.  We will need our God and Father but we will also need our brothers.  We were never supposed to try and do this alone.  God is our Father.  And He gave us brothers.  I hope this encourages you men.  Time is short.  You can see it all over the world: as we just lived thru Covid, as something like WW3 seems to be starting, as there is economic turmoil, political turmoil, weather turmoil, it’s all happening just as the Lord said it would.  There has never been a better time to love these who are most precious to us!! We can do it, Men!  We are not alone! God will lead us throw this mess We don’t have to live afraid. Our Father is All-Powerful. Let’s come to Him anew And let Him teach us anew to lead them… Amen!!? And then… GOD'S VERY BEST WILL FINALLY COME!!I love you brothers. Happy Father’s Day. Robert. (A Great Fathers Day Praise Song!)

By Robert Anthony June 22nd 2024 (A depiction of Elijah being taken to heaven, escaping death altogether, Elisha is watching) The Fundamentals of Revival Series Part Five: "The spirit of Elijah has Always been a Harbinger for the End" Malachi 4:5,6 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”   Harbinger: “a person who goes ahead and makes known the approach of another; a herald.  anything that foreshadows a future event; an omen; a sign.”     Elijah (and his spirit) has been a harbinger  for the end several times in history already.   The first time Elijah and his spirit came to the earth it was about 870 BC.  In his time The Promised Land had already split into two nations, Israel to the north and Judah to the south, Elijah ministered to Israel in the north.  Israel’s sins were terrible, especially during Elijah’s time when Jezebel was ruling Israel with her husband Ahab.  It was a very wicked and sinful time for the kingdom of Israel, perhaps it’s darkest time ever. (For those of you that don’t know the story of Elijah, his story begins in I Kings 17, I encourage you all to read it even before reading this article.)   Elijah became a harbinger for the end of the northern kingdom of Israel.  He prophesied and warned them what would become of their nation and people should they refuse to repent and change from worshiping idols, and worse.  Elijah was entirely a harbinger unto Israel, warning them of certain destruction should they not relent.  In 722 BC the Assyrian army came for a final conclusive battle against Israel and entirely wiped them out!  Some estimate as many as 30-50 Million Israeli’s were killed during that time.  The remaining Israelites, the few left that they did not kill, were brought back to Nineveh, the Assyrian Capital, as their slaves.  And many of you Bible scholars are aware that John the Baptist, according to Jesus and His angel, came in the spirit and power of Elijah!  Therefore, John the Baptist could be considered Elijah number two, correct?  And if John the Baptist was in fact Elijah number two?  Was John the Baptist a harbinger for a final judgment of God towards Israel??    John was born sometime around 3 BC.  His message was simple, “Repent and turn from your wicked ways, and God will heal your land.” He said it over and again but also prophesied of the coming of the Son of God.  “Whose sandals,” he said, “I am not worthy to unloose.”  The gospels together all tell a wonderful and detailed story of John the Baptist, Jesus even exalted him above all the Old Testament prophets when he said, “Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist…”. John’s importance is often overshadowed by Jesus, the Messiah, and His ministry and for obvious reasons.  But the importance of this prophet must not be overlooked.   Did they repent from the preaching of Elijah?  No.  Perhaps a small group of them did and maybe a larger portion for a short season but in the end, the people of Israel continued to sin.  So, the Lord God allowed an enemy to come and destroy their land.  And John the Baptist was also a harbinger, preaching repentance and warning of “The Wrath to Come”.  And yet was there a revival?  Was there true repentance among the Jews for the saving of a nation and its people?  Clearly not.  They crucified the Son of God, which was a witness against them.   And John’s unheeded warnings came to pass, just as did Elijah’s.  In 70 AD the Roman army came, quite upset with the Jews and almost entirely destroyed Jerusalem.  Just as Jesus said of their temple, “Not one stone was left upon another… for all shall be throne down.”  The Romans literally tore that temple apart stone by stone and brick by brick!  Thus, the fulfillment of John’s ministry was revealed when that generation of Jews refused to repent, killed the Son of God and receive their just reward for that terrible transgression against God and His Son.   But in context, Malachi was not exactly prophesying about John the Baptist.  In context (read it again above), Malachi is clearly referring to the end of days, the time before God comes to judge the entirety of the earth, those who are in it and everything built upon it.  Therefore, Elijah must come a third time , or the spirit of Elijah must come a third time.  And he will be heralding as another harbinger, the time of the end.  He will be the key harbinger, again, making the way for the Son of God’s triumphant return!  Just as John the Baptist came, “To prepare the way of the Lord”, Elijah, and/or his spirit, will return to the earth, to prepare the Lord’s way once more.     Well, has Elijah returned to us?  Let us investigate.  Elijah’s ministry was about what, according to Malachi and then the angel Gabriel?  “He would turn the hearts of the children to their fathers and the hearts of the fathers to their children…” But at first glance, this prophecy may seem almost insignificant.  Of all the things this mighty man could do before God why, turning the hearts of the children to their fathers and vice versa?    When a society breaks down and falls apart doesn’t it all start at home?  The degradation of the family is certainly the necessary beginning for the demise of a society.  In fact, it could be said, as the family goes, so goes the nation!  But the opposite is also true, a thriving nation must also be filled with thriving families.  A thriving church… must also be filled with thriving families.  A thriving organization must be full of thriving individuals, and so on.    It can therefore be surmised, once the families fall into sin, corruption, hopelessness, lovelessness, etc. they die.  And the death of God’s created families will always come before the collapse and death of a nation.   It's not hard to see what is happening around us.  The families have been under attack for nearly a century.  What started slowly absolutely picked up pace after WW2.  Women started to leave their homes for work, children started being raised by government schools and divorce rates started to skyrocket.  The 1950’s and 60’s all throughout the world were a time of tremendous and unparalleled economic success, growth and opportunity ruled the day but they were also the years the families began to fall apart.  The 70’s, 80’s and 90’s saw unparalleled rates of divorce -rates perhaps never before seen on the earth !       But there seems to be a growing trend right now to save the marriages.  Younger generations are hesitant to get married but once they do, they are staying married better when compared with the generation before them.  Surprising, right?  I can’t help but wonder what changed?      It’s a time of extremely polar opposites that we are living in, on the one hand there is this horrible movement to destroy the traditional family altogether: radical abortion laws being passed at throughout the leftist states, the activist-LGBTQ movement, the things pertaining to genetic engineering and DNA manipulation, the government schools undermining the family unit with many of their agenda’s, etc. but there is also something quite different and astounding happening in the hearts and minds of these younger generations, driving divorce rates down!?   There is a new generation of young people who, although they might reject religion, want to remain married!   Perhaps this is some proof that the spirit of Elijah is among us!?   Malachi tells us Elijah will come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord!  And he will, do what exactly?  Another way of saying, “turn the hearts of the fathers and children and the hearts of the children to their fathers” is to say, “Elijah will restore the broken families!!”  Elijah, and/or the spirit of Elijah and his last days ministry, according to scripture, will bring about the restoration of the broken families and simultaneously preparing the way of the Lord.  And just as the first Elijah was a harbinger for the impending destruction of Israel, just as the second (spirit of) Elijah was a harbinger for the impending destruction of Jerusalem and its temple, the third Elijah will herald the end of the age – the coming of Messiah to the earth to rule and reign!   With very little effort we can see the whole prophesy playing out before our very eyes.  The spirit of Elijah is among us, telling the men to repent, telling the fathers to go after their children and win their generations!  The spirit of Elijah is among us, telling the children to repent and humble themselves, to return to the God of their fathers and become new.  The spirit of Elijah is telling the men to repent, hurry up and become good husbands and leaders of your families!  For soon and very soon you will stand before the Lord of glory, and what will you say to Him?!  The spirit of Elijah is upon the earth, telling the wives, “Submit to your husbands, as unto the Lord” and in so doing you please your Father in heaven.  The spirit of Elijah is here to restore all things and make ready a people to present to the Lord…But the remaining question is, Who among us will listen?   If we, fathers, cannot win our  families unto righteousness, the Bible says, we are unworthy of being in any leadership role within the Church.  The spirit of Elijah is here telling the fathers, it is your responsibility to lead the church and to encourage your brothers onward to their Father.  Should the spirit of Elijah succeed in restoring the families, the Church will suddenly come alive!  Should we, each, individually, turn our hearts towards our fathers, and turn our hearts towards our children – the God might see us from heaven and push back this destined end of this world, even for another generation!  We absolutely have a role to play in the history that is being written right now.   Again, if we cannot honor our parents, if we cannot raise our children in the way of the Lord, if we cannot obey the word of God, especially as it pertains to the families, how could we ever expect that God might stave off the end and give us more time?  Our churches, our government, our society is broken because we left the way of God and brought this rebellion and iniquity into our own homes .  Had we kept our homes holy, had we kept our families rooted in the word of God, had we stayed faithful to this New Covenant – we would have seen the salvation of the Lord, even with our own eyes!  But recent generations have refused.   But this  generation must return to the foundations of truth, to the foundations of the gospel, to the fundamentals of the things which God has given to us.  The Word, who was revealed in Christ Jesus, is the rock - and a wise man builds his house upon the rock.  The foolish man builds his house upon the sand.  Every household, every family that is built upon the rock will last, even thru the storms, even thru the tests of time.    Our Father has only good plans for us, brothers and sisters, but who will listen?  Do the churches even want His Word anymore being proclaimed among the gathering?  And what of His Spirit?  Is the Spirit of God even welcomed anymore among our fellowships?  We should repent for these things Church, especially the leadership.  We must turn back to the foundations , return to the beginnings of our faith, then God will restore our families and the Church will come to thrive anew!  But without this sure foundation, all hope is lost, there is no lasting structure we can build that will remain.  There is nothing else for us to unite around, no other vision, no other hope.   I pray this message penetrates our hearts, especially the hearts of the men.  What will we say to God brothers?  If we did not love our families?  If we brought a myriad of sins and iniquities into our own homes, if we warred against the God of heaven and refused His love and truth?  If we refused to lead our families in the way that they should go, unto God?  Come that day, what will we say?  But I’m writing to encourage us all now, so that we might be able to say to Him, “I loved that woman you gave me with all my heart for all the days of my life, I raised my children in the way that they should walk with You, I told everyone who wanted to hear about the gospel and the salvation of God and I never denied Your name.”    And if we can live unto Him these humble foundations, Certainly God can bring us life and life more abundantly, An abundant life wherein we are worthy of being called the children of God !   It is never too late to repent, men. There is always hope with our Father. He never ever, ever  gives up on us.   We might give up on ourselves, But our Father will never stop pursuing us He’ll never give up trying to win us back, So that we might be restored to Him, forever!   Return to Him, brothers and sisters He will restore everything He has such great plans for our lives! We cannot even imagine the things that our Father is capable of doing for His own children.   I hope this encourages you all…If we can win our families Perhaps we can win a generation!?   If we can win a generation Perhaps God see our good works from heaven And give us more time to preach His holy salvation! And WIN SOULS!!   (“He who wins souls is wise…”)   Amen?   And it all begins at home.   "If You haven’t sent him yet Send the spirit of Elijah to us Father! Restore our broken homes. Revive our families…"   "Amen." I love you brothers and sisters. With all my heart.   Yours in Christ,   Robert Anthony.     (A Great Song to go along with the Article. Don Potter! "If the People" 2 Chron. 7:14 - Great Song!)

By Robert Anthony May 13th 2024   (Originally Posted at WND.com - https://www.wnd.com/2024/05/will-american-jews-stay-blue-november/ ) Writing some notes for this article, I was shocked to learn how far back the Jews have had left leaning politics!  I have long known that the majority of the Jews vote blue/left throughout Jewish history in America but I was shocked to learn how large a majority!  In 2018 midterms it was nearly 80% of the Jews voting Blue ! ( Here is the Wikipedia article on the subject. ).  But I was almost more shocked to learn that the Jews have been voting left-progressive, even since the mid-19th century! ( Here is that article about their political history. )   After spending several hours throughout the day getting up to speed on this, I am getting more and more aware of a surprising fact, the Jews with only 2% of the US population largely helped to create the Democrat Party as we know it today !  The facts surrounding Jewish politics are quite surprising to me.    Perhaps I viewed the Jews as more politically-right because I was never into politics and often viewed the Jewish people as religious and conservative but no, that is not the case in America.  I lived in Israel for 6 months and traveled much of my time in country.  I found the Israeli’s to be a rather conservative people, more or less, and would guess Israel to have a majority conservative population but that too has not been the case, not until recently anyways.  Israel, as a nation, has recently and dramatically shifted into a conservative nation and now with Hamas, Hezbollah and enemies attacking them daily, even moreso. ( Here is an interesting article on the subject. ) I can’t help but ponder what will become of the Jewry in America coming into the 2024 election.  The bastion of progressive-liberalism in America has obviously been our world-famous universities, and for quite some time now.  More than Wall Street, Big Media, Big Pharma or even Big Tech., the stronghold for the progressive movement has remained America’s institutions of higher education for really two generations now, almost three.  So to Jewish-America I would ask, What are you going to do now?  Now that you see these institutions turn against you , even as a people, with such extreme bigotry, angst and intolerance – the very institutions once pining for tolerance – what will become of your politics?   Another quite interestingly policy issue among the left leaning Jews to me is, Abortion . Now, the Bible is entirely Pro-Life, so how the Jews could champion a political party so nonchalant and even cavalier about taking an unborn life is difficult for me to understand.  The Bible warns over and again about homosexuality, it teaches in detail about marriage (being between a man and woman) and has many other laws pertaining to sex and how to remedy illicit-sexual activity throughout Judaism and within Israel.  One would think the Jews would abstain from supporting the whole of the LGBTQ movement but instead they are some of its greatest champions!?  They have a long and famous history of being gifted bankers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, inventors, etc. one would think their fiscal policy would be quite conservative but throughout US history it is quite the contrary.  Nearly every modern liberal policy seems to be a violation of what the Jews hold dear, and yet the Jews still vote overwhelmingly, Blue ?   But now the Jews have come to a cross-road.  For one, classic liberalism is all but dead at this point.  Sure, RFK Jr. and a few relics throughout the Democrat Party are trying to bring about a classical-liberal revival but the purveying crowd against them has grown far too loud.  So the Jews are left with the new Woke-Progressive Democrat Party that is looking more and more Socialist-Marxist and anti-Israel by the day… or they can totally abandon ship.   I think to myself, “What must be going thru Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, Tony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Merrick Garland, Josh Shapiro (PA), Jared Polis (CO), Josh Green (HI), JB Pritzker (IL) and so many other high-ranking Democrat-Jewish minds watching this country turning increasingly antisemitic, and practically overnight!?”  Has it not been more than 80 years since antisemitism has been found among their ranks?  Do they not take great pride in being the party of inclusion and equity ?  And yet suddenly Israel, as a nation and a people, is being cancelled .   I suppose it would be possible for the Jewish Democrats to abandon Israel in her hour of need so as to avoid a civil war within their own party but how many of these same Jews have family who have immigrated to Israel and perhaps living in country for generations now?  How many of these high-profile Jews in Hollywood, Wall Street and DC have intimate ties with Israeli businesses, years long relationships in country, perhaps even owning property there and then of course, agreeing quite frequently as they make a toast at Hanukah or Passover, “Next Year in Jerusalem!”  The intimate ties among even the reformed Jews in America with Israel cannot be overstated, let alone the deep-seated and unbreakable loyalty of the Orthodox-community throughout the US and their undying devotion to the Jewish state.  Is it even possible for the Jews in America to unravel themselves from Israel?  The university protestors seem to understand this glaring reality better than anyone, and you can hear it in their chanting.   This election cycle is shaping up to be without a doubt one for the history books!  It will be quite shocking to me if even close to a majority of Jews vote Biden this coming November, but then again, thus far Biden and his administration have been more or less supportive to the Jewish state throughout this regional war - but as the war goes more to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran what will the Biden Admin do then?  The proverbial and Biblical writing is on the wall , the Democrat party is almost thru its metamorphosis and what is quickly emerging does not have a place for any Israel-loving Jews.  So will American Jewry abandon Israel altogether to keep pace with their party or will they bring a new, maybe more moderate and centrist, voice into the GOP?  History is being written even as we consider these things.

By Robert Anthony and David Silver Jun 27th 2024 We very well may be watching the formal beginning of WW3 starting.  I'm not trying to sound alarmist or fantastical but these are the facts: Israel just moved thousands of troops to their northern border, there are unconfirmed reports of Iran sending thousands of troops to Lebanon to support Hezbollah, there are videos emerging of at least hundreds of military vehicles and equipment (tanks, troops carriers, etc.) all headed to Israel's northern border.   We brought David Silver on to our show, All Politics is Local, to discuss what is unfolding this week.  If there was ever a time to be praying for Israel it is now. David's Comment:  Facing a Major War With Hezbollah   Since the Hamas massacre and the outbreak of war on October 7, life on Mt. Carmel has been very different and challenging for Josie and myself, as it has for everyone in Israel. The city of Haifa, which sits on Mt. Carmel, has not suffered any damage from rockets so far, but we have lived with the prospect of that changing at any time. We have heard many explosions which were rockets and drones being intercepted in the air, some distant and a few much closer, judging by the sound level. The number of rockets, mortars, anti-tank shells and drones that have been launched against Israel since the war began is now over 20,000, the majority in the north. About 80,000 residents of the north have been evacuated, living in hotels for months now, and an increasing number of their homes have been severely damaged. Many businesses have had to close down and the economy in the north is ruined. For 8 months now, we have monitored and shared the news about the war with Hamas in Gaza, the soldiers operating in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), and the thousands of rockets that have been fired by Hezbollah and others terror groups from Lebanon and Syria. From the beginning we have prayed, and asked you to pray that a full scale war would not break out in the north with Hezbollah, as they have far more rockets which are much more sophisticated and powerful than the ones Hamas have, capable of reaching most of the country. Haifa, which has been spared so far, will become a primary target, as Haifa has the largest naval base and port in Israel, the only oil refinery in Israel, many fuel and chemical storage tanks, many factories that make advanced missiles and other military equipment, and a large power station, all of which the enemy knows the precise location of. Hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have steadily intensified over the last few weeks to the point that a full scale war could be initiated by either side at any time. Media is reporting verbal threats that the leaders of both sides are declaring against each other. Last week Hezbollah released video footage of all of the strategic sites that I mentioned in the previous paragraph - as a further threat against Haifa. They are also threatening Ben Gurion Airport, the Dimona nuclear facility and Ashdod port. The leaders of Iran have already declared that if Israel launches a full scale operation in the north, they will be involved. Life in the north and the rest of Israel could change very quickly and very dramatically at any time. We are being warned to prepare supplies of food, water and medical items. Underground car parks are being prepared as emergency medical centers and safety shelters for residents, if war with Hezbollah breaks out and the north is hit by thousands of missiles. As well as causing a very high number of deaths and injuries to the residents, a massive missile attack on Haifa and the nearby towns has the potential to damage to homes, stores, businesses, fuel stations and public services like electricity, gas and water supplies. Many more soldiers may be injured and killed as they do their best to protect the country and attack the enemy. In addition to all of the above, is the deep concern and heartfelt pain most Israelis feel for everyone who has lost loved ones or friends, for the seriously wounded soldiers and of course the remaining 120 hostages.The overall scenario for the days and weeks ahead is not good without supernatural intervention. The future of Israel and her people is in the hands of GOD, and in great need of His mercy. Your prayer support for us in the north and for all of Israel is imperative at this time, and greatly appreciated. Here David Silver Reports on Headline Israeli news .

By Robert Anthony July 1st 2024   We just had Ex-Governor Candidate (WI) Timothy Ramthun on our show , “All Politics is Local” to discuss the state of Wisconsin, his campaign and what it looks like to save America in this time.  We discussed election integrity efforts and how it was really the state governments that failed the American people following the stolen 2020 election.  It's hard to hear the truth sometimes but we have to look at this with sober-eyes and our feet firmly planted on the ground, but ready to take action.  FACT: the most appalling and destructive pro-abortion laws have all been passed following the dissolution of Roe v. Wade!?  But how is this possible!?  Roe v. Wade was overturned and the Pro-Life movement won, right??  Well, not exactly.  The Supreme Court in some ways merely passed the buck (doesn’t that sound like politics?), they did not rule for the protection of life in any way, shape or form – The Supreme Court “kicked the can” down to the lower jurisdictions and into the state legislatures to be fought out for generations to come !!  I will say however, many states are passing laws to protect life… and for that I say, Praise God. (But this among many other policies are splitting the nation in two.)   Election Integrity and the creation of a New and Legitimate election system is also running thru Local and State Governments.   Now it’s yet to be seen if the federal government will intrude as “we the people” start recreating the election system, making it free and fair, there have been murmurings of DOJ, Homeland Security and others injecting themselves back into these state affairs.  But the precedent set by Roe v. Wade does seem to be helpful in re-establishing states-rights!  (Personally, I was very let down that our Supreme Court couldn’t put into writing something like, “America is unashamedly for the creation and prosperity of Life!  We, as a nation, do not support the things of death and destruction.  We uphold our families as the foundation of the nation, for without them there would simply be no future.” And then I would have liked for them to explain that Roe v. Wade was never a constitutional or just ruling and the laws that were created from it were not only immoral but un-american and unconstitutional.)   I am going to vote for Trump, obviously.  I am going to support many candidates within the Republican Party but to be quite frank but I am less than confident that we are going to win this 2024 election.  We, as a movement, have been threatening to hunt down the criminals and distribute just retribution and even vengeance upon all the enemies of America, especially those involved with the 2020 theft of an election.  Try to imagine what it would be like to be in the shoes of these career politicians and bureaucrats, hearing our movement threaten them with jail time or even death (for treason)… simple logic would only conclude that they will be even more cunning and unwavering in their pursuit to steal 2024!    In my opinion, while the race for the White House might be the most important race in the nation it is equally just as important that we win our state legislatures, en masse !   The President would have the power to change much of DC and the Federal Bureaucracy, even shutting down many Big Government offices and cleaning house throughout the deep state but the foundational and lasting work to be done in this country, and that work pertaining to our elections, will be done in the state governments.  We have never needed more than this hour, a “Few Good Men” to stand in the gap for our nation and our states – refusing to bend a knee to the prevailing winds of wokeism, progressiveism, Big Money, the lobbyists, etc.  We must find these men (and women) whose hearts are genuinely seeking the blessing of God for our nation, the truth, liberty, justice! etc. We must find them and then support them, especially locally. (And try to find some men to join the fight!! I am tired of throwing our precious mothers, grandmothers, aunties and sisters on to the front-lines and telling them to save us!  This is intense, this is frightening at times (when they threaten our lives and worse), when they come after us with imprisonment and more – the battle for America hasn’t been this intense in hundreds of years – probably since Lincoln .  Men are called by God to protect their families.  Men, we need to stop asking our wives to fight for us, we need to pick up the baton and run the race!)   Here is a great interview I did with Timothy Ramthun  wherein we discussed Wisconsin and the vital importance of these state races – races that are usually not looked upon with much care or concern, especially when the White House is up for grabs.  I think this interview will help to focus us all for the months ahead.  And pray.  The state of Tennessee just declared a fast !!  How WONDERFUL is that!?!?  Praying and fasting will absolutely win us God’s attention – He will see our hearts and repentance and He will respond. God Bless Friends. The Best for America is Still Yet to Come!! Until the day, Robert

By Robert Anthony July 10, 2024 Sometimes its hard to take an honest account of a difficult matter.  But we are a mere few months from the most consequential US election in the history of the nation.  We must put our emotions, doubts and fears aside, we must put old rivalries, grudges and divisions away – FOR THE SAVING OF THE FREE WORLD!   This election will come down to a very few states, Wisconsin at the helm. Michigan too, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada… But Wisconsin is a MUST WIN STATE.  Let me explain. Michigan and Minnesota were both totally and completely hijacked by some of the most extremely woke, progressive, Marxist-Democrats this nation has ever seen. 2022 saw a Blue Wave in both of these states but somehow Wisconsin resisted... they did lose their Supreme Court (as most of us are aware, they just voted to make drop boxes legal .). So they are well prepared for The Big Steal 2.0 Again, as many of us are now aware, we, the free-people of America, actually have the numbers in all three of these states! The Patriots are the majority, without a doubt, in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Some pollsters will blame "voter turn out" but that is a farce, in part. Remember AuditYourVote.com proved that they omitted votes in Michigan! Literally just removed them from the record! And we caught them! We can have every single Patriot vote and even outvote the algorithms, but if they omit votes!!? What is the remedy? In Wisconsin at least the Patriots have the House and the Senate. (Please, you guys, make sure your WI State Senators and Rep's campaigning are aware of this. Shoot them the article. Have them reach out to us. We will explain in detail.). Who will we turn to to support and free and fair election in Michigan or Minnesota!?!? VOTE. Do everything we can, Patriots, to shore up the elections but in the end - we should not be surprised by anything, except if they decide to leave this election alone. Which they will not do - because they are petrified that the law will come after them for what they did in 2020 and 2022! Back to #MustWinWisconsin - you can spend time playing around with this interactive map if you like. I give us less than a 5% chance of winning Michigan and Wisconsin. Maybe I am wrong? Maybe some three-letter agencies have a plan to make sure these states aren't stolen!? I dont know about that... They did nothing (but perhaps help) in 2020/2022. Which brings us to Pennsylvania, with a large 19 electoral votes. I would compare Pennsylvania to Michigan and Minnesota but perhaps not as extreme. I would give us about a 20% chance at winning Pennsylvania. The war in Israel works for us in Pennsylvania. The rulers of that state are NOT HAPPY with Biden and his dismal efforts supporting our #1 ally in the Middle East and perhaps the world! The Republicans have the Senate and the SOS. And THEY STEAL VOTES! If you are in Pennsylvania, feel free to share this article with anyone campaigning but especially those in position right now to shore up this election. If we win Pennsylvania and Wisconsin? Look at what the map does! But I only give us a 20% shot at Pennsylvania again because many there are in full-panic mode of what the (duly elected) President Trump might do to come after the traitors should he return to the White House!! Do not listen to the headlines. This election is about domestic politics and this political civil-war that has been raging. Everything else: Ukraine, Israel, China, etc. is a great distance from the fact that everyone in politics knows they seem to have gotten away with stealing an election from the American People! We actually have a chance at winning Wisconsin! While we do not have the SOS, AG or Governor - we have all of WI Legislature. Which brings us to places like Arizona and Nevada. I don't want to get too far into the weeds on this but, Arizona had the Election Audit! And WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED!!? Do you realize they never actually gave us a report of what that audit found!? It was all hidden and redacted!?! Once this became the conclusion to the 2020 Arizona Election Audit, I realized that we had lost Arizona. Is there a slim chance we pull it off? Sure. I believe in miracles. Which brings us to Nevada. The only thing the Patriots have in Nevada is the Office of the Governor. Pretty bleak all things considered. But Nevada only gives us 6 Electoral Votes. Is Nevada winnable with all those California implants flocking to Vegas and Reno? I give Nevada 30% chance of winning - I have a lot to say on the subject. But I won't get into it now. Someday Nevada will need a political champion who will open all the books and root out all the corruption and give Nevada, A Fresh Start. Some might argue Virginia is in play? I actually might listen to that argument. In fact I would give us better chances of winning Virginia than I would Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, etc. While the Democrat party controls the state's Legislature, the Republicans have the Governor, AG and SOS! And those Patriot-Leaders have done wonders with the state! The more I talk/write about it the more excited I get about the opportunity in Virginia! I need to look into this more. (I will get back to you all about this.) If we lose all those Dem-controlled swing-states but pull off an upset in Virginia!! WE WIN THE WHITE HOUSE!! Im going to investigate this further. Watch for a follow up article in the days weeks ahead. In conclusion: are we going to throw in the towel on Michigan, Minnesota, Penn., etc.? God forbid. I wrote an article about an phenomenal strategy THIS ELECTION - to focus on those local elections! If we can get the Congress' and maybe one or two of the big offices throughout the swing states this election! That will pay off huge 2026, etc.! Especially for us to restore the election system. It's abundantly obvious to me that Wisconsin is our best long hanging fruit among the swing states. I hope this helps to refocus the movement. We have months to go. We can all, even around the nation, get involved! I see no path to winning without Wisconsin. Play around with the map and prove me wrong. You can comment below. You can even agree in the comments below!! hahaha. #MustWinWisconsin Let's get it done! Robert.

In a moment that brought joy and pride to a war-torn nation, Yaroslava Mahuchikh soared to victory at the Paris Olympics, claiming Ukraine’s first individual gold medal of the Games. This triumph was not just a personal achievement for Mahuchikh but a beacon of hope and resilience for Ukrainians worldwide, especially those displaced by the ongoing conflict with Russia. Mahuchikh’s journey from Dnipro, a city close to the front lines, to the top of the Olympic podium is a testament to her determination and the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people. Forced to flee her home amidst the chaos of war, Mahuchikh’s path has been anything but easy. Yet, she has continually risen above the challenges, proving that with faith and perseverance, one can overcome the darkest of times. We remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Mahuchikh’s story is a living embodiment of this scripture. Despite the adversity and uncertainty, her faith and perseverance carried her through. Her journey mirrors that of many biblical figures who triumphed over adversity through faith and resilience. Do you remember the story of David and Goliath? Just as David, a young shepherd, faced a giant with unwavering faith and a few smooth stones, Mahuchikh faced her own giants—war, displacement, and the pressure of the world stage. And like David, she emerged victorious, her determination allowing to rise above the circumstances her country is going through right now. As Mahuchikh cleared 2.00 meters, securing her gold medal, the Stade de France erupted in applause. This moment of victory was not just hers; it was shared by the entire Ukrainian community. The joy was doubled as Iryna Gerashchenko and Mykhaylo Kokhan also brought home bronze medals, bringing Ukraine’s total medal count to six in just an hour. This remarkable achievement allowed Ukrainians to forget the war, if only for a moment, and revel in the joy of sportsmanship and national pride. In her post-victory reflection, Mahuchikh dedicated her medal to the nearly 500 Ukrainian athletes who have lost their lives in the conflict. Her gold was for them, for the defenders of Ukraine, and for every Ukrainian who continues to fight in different ways. As she lay down between jumps, wrapped in her sleeping bag, she found peace by watching the clouds, reminding that sometimes, even in the midst of turmoil, we need to find our moments of calm and clarity. And let’s not forget the light-hearted moments that make sports so enjoyable. As Mahuchikh was asked why she didn’t attempt to break her own world record after winning gold, she humorously replied, “Why not? I was Olympic champion.” Sometimes you’ve just got to jump over your troubles, quite literally! As Proverbs 24:16 says, "For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again."
