We are living in time when those in Government are doing all they can to make sure they are hijacking our Democracy of Government by the People for the people, to replace it with Government by Government mandates from our President to our Senators, Congressmen, to the United State Supreme Court. 
The United States is seeing a New Age to where you do your thing and I will do mine, do not bother me and I will not bother you. This is not how God created us to be governed. He came with rules and principle to allow us all to achieve our potential. But today it is not what you need, it is what Government says you need. We are seeing the beginning of the Anti-Christ giving all a number to be able to buy and sell. Notice the Anti-Christ is some- one, just like God, for God gave us government to control what is good from what is bad. That is the reason we have laws that need to be kept for our welfare. Lawlessness is abounding for the simple reason we want freedom to do what we get addicted to by Satan. Soon we are going to see Religion dictating all we do and even say, for it is religion God gave us all to obey Him and when Satan takes over the Church we are going to see anarchy to the greatest degree. 
Matthew 24 is showing the Lord Departing from the Temple which was left desolate and it was all predicted to be in ruin. Hosea 9:12 says Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them to the last man. Yes, woe to them when I depart from them! then Jeremiah 6:8 Says “Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul depart from you; Lest I make you desolate, A land not inhabited.” Here 3 days later the Temple was rent and declared unclean. He did not reject them, they rejected Him. He did not leave the 12 Disciples for the secret of the Lord is with then that fear God as the beginning of wisdom.
Let’s read Matthew 24 from the King James as Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple
24 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. ² And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Notice it is the Disciples who show Him the Temple which was a wonder of the world and very beautiful. It’s glory stained with sins of the Priest and the People. This glory was eclipsed and out done by the presence of our God and Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus shows them the Signs of the times and the End of the age! This was a grievous time as it was left desolate! 2 Chronicles 7:21 tells about this taking place in the Old Testament. “And as for this ^[a]house, which ^[b]is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?’ Then Luke 19:41 ^“Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem” Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it. He knew what was going to take place and wept for all to see the Light of His words. He did not want to see become worm food.  For not one stone was going to be saved, but destroyed by worms utter ruined. The Disciples were astonished for was this going to be the end of the world? No! For Matthew 24:3 Now as He (Jesus) sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. ⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for ^[a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, ^[b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Lord help us to not be deceived  but follow the Lord abide in the Vine as John 15:1-8 tells us to do. 
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. ² Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He ^[a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.³ You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
⁵ “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Let’s not be deceived but follow the Lord and abide in Him; Jesus. Not seducers who are dangerous enemies to the Church, or persecutors and false prophets. Satan is an angle of Light. His colors are of the greatest good, often color is of the greatest evil!False Christ coming in Christ name! They reject Christ and will reject Christians. The Popish religion sets up a false Christ, as the Pope comes in Christ name revealing to God that he is a false enemy of God and deceive as the Anti-Christ. For He is the leader of the Catholic Church, or world-wide Church; Universal Church! He draws attention to Himself, saying Lo here is Christ. They are hermits who place religion in a moralistic life, saying he is in the desert as a Priest who made consecrated water or wafers to represent Christ. Christ is Lord of all goodwill and peace. The college or body of bishops has no authority unless it is simultaneously conceived of in terms of its head, the Roman Pontiff, Peter's successor, and without any lessening of his power of primacy over all, pastors as well as the general faithful. For in virtue of his office, that is as Vicar of Christ and pastor of the whole Church, the Roman Pontiff has full, supreme and universal power over the Church. And he can always exercise this power freely." Just this week Queen Elisabeth passed away and she was a strong force for the Kingdom of God in Europe and will certainly be missed and we pray here oldest Son Prince Phillip will carry on with His Mother tradition. The Church of England is the Canterbury’s who departed from Rome for they did not want to be dictated to. Queen Elisabeth invited Billy Graham in your residence many times as she put here trust in the Lord. She helps select the Ruler of the Canterbury’s but does not get involved with managing them at all. 
RULING OVER PEOPLE?
In the course of the centuries the papacy has assimilated the power structures and authoritarian practices of secular rulers. The Pope now claims domination over every section of the Church and over every aspect of people's lives. This is the last thing Christ wanted. "You know that among the pagans their so-called rulers lord it over people, and great men make their power felt. It shall not be so among you!" (Mark 10,42-45).
No one can take the place of Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  
Having lived now 85 years I have seen the Church in the Kingdom of God being guided by the Holy Spirit as Act 2 talks to us about being full and even speaking in another tongues. As a Child we saw many evangelists come through Yakima having a healing ministry and people slain in the Spirit as they were controlled by the Spirit of God and it was beautiful with no one getting heart and many people healed in the Yakima Valley. But as time went by we saw what Matthew 24:24 says ²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ See, I have told you beforehand. We are seeing our mental Facility’s over powered by Satan, as pills do not take the place of Gods healing power. People are seeing confusion as never before and our hospital are short handed and over burdened. Yet the Church is seeing miracles as people are being saved and healed of all kinds of mental illnesses. God is in control. He redeems and it is happening around the world where persecution is the greatest.  The Bible tells us not to be troubled for it is going to get worse the old is being taken down and replaced by the new. The end is not yet one age is past and another age is here. 
Judgement is coming famine, pestilence and earthquakes is causing great desolation like never before. Fires, floods are more extreme as is the heat throughout the world. People are imprison in their own homes as lawlessness increases. We are seeing sufferings and Shakings in Government around the world to where people are wanting a leader to get us out of our problems. Persecution is fashionable and people enjoy envy as they betray one another and hate one another. Bitterness and violence is rampant. Wolves are in sheep’s clothing. People are barbarous biting and devouring one another. Hell is breaking loose on mankind as we have very little love for Godlessness. Sin is abounding but where sin abound grace does much more abound! Thank the Lord life is still in the roots and Jesus is the roots of the Kingdom of God.
Then Deuteronomy 13:1-3 (9.11.22)
