To War or Not to War will Not End !!! 
War is of afflication and all humanity is involved. It is a great controversy; a war between Christ and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This conflict originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self-exaltation became Satan, God's adversary. Mankind's fortune or misfortune is an infallible proof of his moral quality. Verily, Yeshua dispelled the war of affliction, as God is no stranger to storms. Shown by many miracles such as calming the storm, casting out demons of a possessed man, healing of a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years and a girl who was raised from the dead. Yeshua invites us to trust Him in our storms and lead us to unshakeable faith in Him. He is God in the flesh, the one with power over nature, the spirit world, our bodies, and power over death itself. There is nothing we face that is beyond His ability to command. No danger can come so near that God is not nearer still ...
Maranatha !

God’s Power Will Prevail
by Pastor Lee S Gliddon Jr - God's Word Christian Ministry

...I realize that faith is our blessing and the reason for our willingness to bow to our King, but those who fail to believe choose to ignore the truth of His existence and, sadly, even mock us, the Christians who do believe. ... What is even more disturbing is the spread of Islam, a religion that sees death to Jews and Christians as an acceptable occurrence and even a reason for those that kill under the belief of Islam to be sanctified! God is all powerful and has made clear His Words respecting this life, death, spiritual death, punishment, and eternal life. He will not be bound by the teachings of Islam in any way as He is God and not subject to the carnality of mankind. His heavenly reward for His servants is eternal peace and should not be identified as a reward that offers sexual pleasures or the subjugation of women. As the Title of this sermon says, it is God’s Power that will prevail, not the imaginations of man. For any religion to teach that God wants His followers to kill non-believers is indicative of a ‘man made religion,’ not a religion of God. It is God’s will that man live a life in accordance with His dictates. The reward for doing so is life eternal. Those who have died will live again by His resurrection. That who do not live by God’s will, will not! [...]

Sessions Credits Trump with Stopping Migrant Caravan

On Wednesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions “credited President Trump with halting a ‘caravan’ of migrants the president had warned were headed toward the U.S. border through Mexico,” The Hill reports. “Let me be clear as well: we will not accept the lawlessness of these types of efforts,” Attorney General Sessions said.

What to know about the President’s National Guard order
To give our Border Patrol agents the support they deserve, President Trump has authorized the deployment of National Guard units to America’s southern border. Our Border Patrol agents work incredibly hard to do their jobs. These law enforcement personnel are tasked with securing thousands of miles of border, and they often do not have the manpower or resources necessary to address the flow of illegal immigration into the United States. President Trump is taking this action because Congressional Democrats have obstructed efforts to secure our border. While the President will use every ounce of his existing powers to protect American national security, Congress must deliver a lasting fix to this problem. [...]

 ‘We will liberate our country’
Less than a month ago, President Donald J. Trump laid out a bold vision for defeating the opioid epidemic. In the weeks since, his Administration has taken further action to combat the crisis on all fronts: On March 23, President Trump signed the omnibus funding bill, providing about $4 billion for addiction treatment and prevention, drug courts, and other tools to combat the crisis. Last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the results of the first operation led by the new Joint Criminal Opioid Darknet Enforcement (J-CODE) Team, which resulted in 8 arrests and the seizure of drugs and weapons. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) conducted a 45-day surge in February and March to investigate medical professionals who were prescribing disproportionately high numbers of opioids. The surge led to 28 arrests and 147 revoked medical registrations. “Failure is not an option. Addiction is not our future,” President Trump says. “We will liberate our country from this crisis.” [...]

President meets with military leaders 
Top U.S. defense and military leaders met with President Trump last night, joining the Commander in Chief for dinner and meeting beforehand to review progress in protecting America’s interests at home and abroad. The President reiterated his commitment to rebuilding our Nation’s Armed Forces, including through the budget agreement he made with Congress that invests more than $1.4 trillion in defense over the next two years. This budget supports efforts to recover readiness, grow the force, buy more modern equipment, and give our troops a much deserved pay raise. Yesterday, President Trump also addressed this weekend’s chemical weapons attack in Syria. “This is about humanity, we're talking about humanity, and it can't be allowed to happen," the President said. He reiterated that all options remain on the table for a U.S. response.

President Bush: Islam Is The “Religion Of Peace And Tolerance" 
by Sidney Secular

One of the strangest and most misleading statements ever uttered by an American President occurred when George W. Bush described Islam as “a religion of peace and tolerance.” He was probably told to make that statement by his controllers who were busily planning the New World Order. The true nature of Islam is found in the 109 verses of the Koran that demand war against all non-Muslims, or so-called “infidels.” [...]

Another false flag in Syria 
Democrats for war No investigation

It’s hard to believe the war mongers are running this show again – but they are. And it’s working – thanks to the Clinton people i.e. CNN, MSNBC and others. A conspiracy of lies to promote war to line the pockets of weapons makers. That’s what it’s all about. That’s what it’s always been about. And Clinton and her millions of idiot supporters are lining up to cheer – just as they did when her husband was bombing civilians in Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Now the right wing lunatics and fake Democrat lunatics are in perfect accord. When Fox’s Tucker Carlson is sounding like the voice of reason you know we’re in trouble.

To War or Not to War will Not End !!!


AFFLICTION 
(1) actively = often in plural, as "Many are the afflictions of the righteous" (Psalms 34:19)
(2) passively = as "to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction" (James 1:27)
The following are the chief forms of affliction referred to:
(1) Individual affliction - especially sickness, poverty, the oppression of the weak by the strong and rich, perverted justice.
(2) National - A great place is given in the Old Testament to affliction as a national experience, due to calamities, such as war, invasion, conquest by foreign peoples, exile. These form the background of much of the prophetic writings, and largely determine their tone and character.
(3) In the New Testament the chief form of affliction is that due to the fierce antagonism manifested to the religion of Jesus, resulting in persecution. 

I.) The Source of Affliction
1. God:

The Hebrew mind did not dwell on secondary causes, but attributed everything, even afflictions, directly to the great First Cause and Author of all things: Thus, all things, including calamity, were referred to the Divine operation. The Hebrew when afflicted did not doubt the universal sovereignty of God; yet, while assuming this sovereignty, he was sometimes tempted to accuse Him of indifference, neglect or forgetfulness. 
2. Evil Agents:
Yet there are traces of a dualism which assigns a certain vague limit to God's absolute sovereignty, by referring affliction to an evil agency acting in quasi-independence of God. There could, however, never be more than a tendency in this direction, for a strict dualism was incompatible with the standpoint of Jewish monotheism. Thus, while the evil spirits were regarded as malicious authors of physical maladies, they were not, in a strictly dualistic fashion, thought to act in complete independence; rather, they had a certain place assigned to them in the Divine Providence.

II.) Meaning and Purpose of Affliction
Why did God afflict men? How is suffering to be explained consistently with the goodness and justice of God? This was an acute problem which weighed heavily upon the Hebrew mind, especially in the later, more reflective, period. We can only briefly indicate the chief factors which the Scriptures contribute to the solution of the problem. 
A.) In the Old Testament:
1. Punitive or Retributive:
The traditional view in early Hebrew theology was that afflictions were the result of the Divine law of retribution, by which sin was invariably followed by adequate punishment. Every misfortune was a proof of sin on the part of the sufferer. The logic of facts would suffice to prove that it was inadequate to cover all cases; A common modification of the traditional view was, that the sorrows of the pious and the prosperity of the wicked were only of brief duration; in the course of time, things would adjust themselves aright. But even granting time for the law of retribution to work itself out, experience contradicts the view that a man's fortune or misfortune is an infallible proof of his moral quality.
2. Probational:
The thought is often expressed that afflictions are meant to test the character or faith of the sufferer. 
3. Disciplinary and Purificatory:
For those who are able to stand the test, suffering has a purificatory or disciplinary value.
(1) The thought of affliction as a discipline or form of Divine teaching is found in Job, especially in the speeches of Elihu, who insists that tribulation is intended as a method of instruction to save man from the pride and presumption that issue in destruction. The same conception is found in Psalms.
(2) The purificatory function of trials is taught in such passages where the process of refining metals in fire and smelting out the dross is the metaphor used.
4. Vicarious and Redemptive:
The above are not fully adequate to explain the mystery of the afflictions of the godly. The profoundest contribution in the Old Testament to a solution of the problem is the idea of the vicarious and redemptive significance of pain and sorrow. It makes no difference to the meaning of the afflictions whether we understand by the Servant the whole Hebrew nation, or the pious section of it, or an individual member of it, and whether the speakers in Isa 53 are the Jewish nation or the heathen. The significant point here is the value and meaning ascribed to the Servant's sufferings. The speakers had once believed (in accordance with the traditional view) that the Servant suffered because God was angry with him and had stricken him. Now they confess that his sorrows were due, not to his own sin but to theirs (Isaiah 53:4-6,8). His sufferings were not only vicarious (the punishment of their sin falling upon him), but redemptive in their effect (peace and health coming to them as a result of his chastisement). Moreover, it was not only redemptive, but expiatory ("his soul guilt-offering," Isaiah 53:10)--a remarkable adumbration of the Christian doctrine of atonement.
B.) In The New Testament:
So far we have dealt only with Old Testament teaching on the meaning and purpose of affliction. The New Testament makes no new contribution to the solution of the problem, but repeats and greatly deepens the points of view already found in the Old Testament.
(1) There is a recognition throughout the New Testament of the law of retribution. Yet Jesus repudiates the popular view of the invariable connection between misfortune and moral evil . It is clear that He had risen above the conception of God's relation to man as merely retributive - sunshine and rain for evil men as well as for the good. His followers would suffer tribulation even more than unbelievers, owing to the hostile reaction of the evil world, similar to that which afflicted Christ Himself. Similarly the Ac and the epistles frequently refer to the sufferings of Christians. Hence afflictions must have some other than a purely punitive purpose.
(2) They are probational, affording a test by which the spurious may be separated from the genuine members of the Christian church and
(3) a means of discipline, calculated to purify and train the character. 
(4) The idea of vicarious and redemptive suffering gets a far deeper significance in the New Testament than in the Old Testament, and finds concrete realization in a historical person, Jesus Christ. That which is foreshadowed in Second-Isa becomes in the New Testament a central, pervasive and creative thought. A unique place in the Divine purpose is given to the passion of Christ. Yet in a sense, His followers partake of His vicarious sufferings, and "fill up.... that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ. Here, surely is a profound thought which may throw a flood of light on the deep mystery of human affliction. The cross of Christ furnishes the key to the meaning of sorrow as the greatest redemptive force in the universe.

III. Endurance of Affliction
The Scriptures abound in words of consolation and exhortation adapted to encourage the afflicted.
Two main considerations may be mentioned.

(1) The thought of the beneficent sovereignty of God "Yahweh reigneth; let the earth rejoice, "even though" clouds and darkness are round about him". "All things work together for good to them that love God". Since love is on the throne of the universe, we may rest assured that all things are meant for our good. 
(2) The thought that tribulation is of brief duration, in comparison with the Joy that shall follow; a thought which culminates in the hope of immortality. This hope is in the Old Testament only beginning to dawn, and gives but a faint and flickering light, except in moments of rare exaltation and insight, when the thought of a perfect future blessedness seemed to offer a solution of the enigmas of life. But in the New Testament it is a postulate of faith, and by it the Christian is able to fortify himself in affliction, remembering that his affliction is light and momentary compared with the "far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" which is to issue out of it. Akin to this is the comfort derived from the thought of the near approach of Christ's second coming. In view of such truths as these, the Bible encourages the pious in trouble to show the spirit of patience, and even the spirit of positive joy in tribulation. In the New Testament emphasis is laid on the example of Jesus in patient endurance in suffering. Above all, the Scriptures recommend the afflicted to take refuge in the supreme blessedness of fellowship with God, and of trust in His love, by which they may enter into a deep peace that is undisturbed by the trials and problems of life. ~ D. Miall Edwards

The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan 
All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This conflict originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self-exaltation became Satan, God's adversary. He led into rebellion a portion of the angels. He introduced the spirit of rebellion into this world when he led Adam and Eve into sin. This human sin resulted in the distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created world, and its eventual devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole creation, this world became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will ultimately be vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, Christ sends the Holy Spirit and the loyal angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation.

Ellen G. White's classic The Great Controversy has been reprinted now with abundant illustrations throughout. Read the story of the controversy between God and Satan that will soon end in victory for God and His people. This work starts with the destruction of Jerusalem and follows through the Dark Ages, Reformation and worldwide religious awakening. Draw courage as you read of Christ's second coming and the New Earth. In this volume, the author powerfully points out the principles involved in the impending conflict and how each person can stand firmly for God and His truth.

Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. Adventists believe in the infallibility of Scripture and teach that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. The 28 fundamental beliefs constitute the church's official doctrinal position. The first step of apostasy is to get up a creed, telling us what we shall believe. The second is, to make that creed a test of fellowship. The third is to try members by that creed. The fourth to denounce as heretics those who do not believe that creed. And fifth, to commence persecution against such.

Hudson Bay is still at 100% ice coverage with no end in sight of warm enough temperatures to allow melting to begin. Strangely the Canadian Ice Service has not updated any weekly ice coverage charts against 30 year average in their data sets. All other products are updated except that data set. Blizzard begins to rip across USA and Canada dropping temperatures along the storm front by 73 F. Another Atlantic Low heads toward UK and Europe.
