Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – April 12, 2024

Greetings from Tyler,

Can you imagine the absolute panic as Trump’s tormentors encounter one setback after another?

We’re not going to follow every twist and turn of the legal cases, but none are looking too promising for those that fear what will happen if he should win the next presidential election.  Not that he didn’t win the last one, but maybe it’s for the best.  After all, the whole country has seen gas prices double as the pandering continues.  We’ve got to save the planet?  What about China and India?  Aren’t they on the same planet?  Trump is out talking about what he’ll do if re-elected, and you can bet those currently running the show aren’t listening.

Electric cars aren’t catching on.  They have to give rebates and special deals to sell them at all.  Not that some of them aren’t nice, it’s just not there yet. Maybe someday, but not today.  Meanwhile, gas prices have doubled and you don’t need me to tell you about inflation.

It seems as if the vaunted departments with which we’re all familiar are running interference.  Jail time for the lady who sold the diary?  Does that mean it will never come out?  The January 6, defendants are still rotting in jail, waiting for justice if there is such a thing on this Earth.  

We’ve got conflagrations that should never have happened, but could get worse. Iran, now able to finance terrorist organizations, is riding high. War has overtaken the Middle East, and our leaders are pandering to the supporters of the guilty parties. They’re screaming “Death to America” in Dearborn, Michigan, and none dares denounce it.  What, and deprive the pretender of a segment of his support?

Zelensky still has hat in hand, warning that without more assistance Ukraine will lose the war.

French President Macron has made statements indicating that he’s willing to commit troops.  It’s like they’re in a race to get another worldwide war started, and they don’t have any time to waste.  

But the dominoes are not in place, yet.  These events could lead to further developments that would be ominous, but the main players of Bible prophecy are not yet visible.  Not that they couldn’t show up at any time, and if the U. S. keeps going down this road things may come together sooner than we think.

It seems like our leadership doesn’t have our best interest at heart.  We’re being invaded along the Southern border, and all we get is rhetoric.  The “newcomers” are sleeping on the streets, under bridges, you name it. They’ve turned over whole hotels, with bills being paid by the government.  That means us.  All they can do is throw up their hands and pass out debit cards and court dates that we might not live to see.  You mean, we have no right to secure our sovereign border?  Who ever heard of such a thing?  

The eclipse passed directly overhead in Tyler, the moon all but obscuring the sun.  It was an incredible sight that we’d never seen before and probably won’t again.  There was a partial eclipse when I was in grade school, but nothing like this.  As the moon came directly between earth and the sun you could actually see the flames licking out beyond the perimeter.  They said animals would freak out, but there are horses in the pasture below the office, and they just kept grazing.  We were amazed as it got dark, and all the security lights came on.  What an eerie sensation to have it get dark in the middle of the day, and then it was a regular afternoon.  It puts things in perspective.
