I am of the belief that the first two seals have been opened; white horse (Trump winning & trying to conquer nations/enemies) & the red horse being war with Iran & more wars speculated to happen soon; Russia waging war against the EU, China joining in etc.

I think we might be on the precipice of the third seal; famine, hyperinflation & plaques. Hyperinflation caused/exacerbated by famine & war (farmers not being abled to afford the rising costs of fuel & fertilizer & truckers not being able to afford diesel). I think the pneumonic plague in Russia is something to keep an eye on. There’s a chance that it’s a nothing burger but there’s also a chance it could escalate to something much worse. The super El Niño is suspected to cause famine. The last time there was an El Niño somewhat this strong was in 1877 which resulted in 50 million people dying due to droughts & famine.

The famine part was mostly exacerbated by how poorly the governments handled giving out food & people hoarding more food than they needed to. I don’t see how this would be any different.

Edit: I want to add that this El Niño is the strongest ever recorded. Far stronger than the one in 1877.

Upon reading the header you may think “what in the heck is OP trying to say?”

The Bible talks about behavior that is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus as “antichrist.” My epiphany that Trump is the antichrist has forced me to evaluate my own behavior & reflect on how I could display some of the behaviors he displays in my own life & in my relationships with others.

How can I call out Trump for being antichrist if I myself have antichrist behaviors? I’ve stopped swearing (tho there are few moments I catch myself), I push myself to be more forgiving, I push myself to be more patient especially to those who I believe have wronged me & I try to be more aware of other people & how I can help them especially when I’m in public.

Matthew 7:3–5
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

In the effort to be less like Trump I have (slowly) become more like Christ.

It’s not enough to be anti-trump, we must also be more pro-Christ. We will be judged on the conditions of our hearts. The coming tribulations is a time of testing of our hearts & whether or not we are goats or sheep.

Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father…”

I don’t want to stand before Jesus & say “ I have called out Trump for being the Antichrist; even brought people to that realization!” Only for Jesus to respond “but you were antichrist as well. You may have condemned Trump but you failed to change your heart & examine your own behavior.”

2 Corinthians 13:5
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves…”

Ephesians 5:1–2
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us…”

Ephesians 4:31–32
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you… And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another…”

While Trump being the Antichrist has helped me become a better person; it is Jesus who has made me a better person.

For those who believe in the pre-trib rapture; convince me

I am someone believes in a pre wraith rapture (those who survived being hunted down & killed for rejecting the mark of the beast/worship of the image of the beast being brought up to the sky)
But I am open to a pre tribulation rapture perspective.

I really would like those who do believe in a pre tribulation rapture to do their best & convince me.

I’ve never been very good at breathing techniques & grounding but there have been very rare occasions where it has helped. Is there anyway I can get better at it? What are the tips of making it most effective?

What do YOU believe Trump will do concerning the election? What’s your prediction? This could be a prediction that has to do before the election, Election Day or after Election Day. I ask this because I believe what will occur with this election will be a tipping point to him clamoring down on his control of this country with continue rejection of our laws but in a way that we have not seen before.

But I cannot for the life me figure out just what he’s planning to do. Whether it’s declaring a national emergency before the election, sending ICE/Gov officials to polls or telling Mike to refuse to swear in incoming members of congress due to “communism” if it is a blue wave.

Again, I ask this because I believe 2027 will be a pivotal year in his rise to worldwide power (I don’t believe he will achieve global power next year, just a year that really marks drastic change) via changing this country into his image the way Hitler did in Nazi Germany. He’s planning something.

Rap music in America perpetuates hyper sexualized views of black women akin to the Jim Crow era caricature of the “black jezebel.”

Rap music treats black women as nothing more than fat assed c*ck suckers & it’s not just black male rappers that perpetuate this as well - black women rappers do it too.

Little black girls are also heavily sexualized primarily by other family members & routinely video taped twerking to rap music & posted online. An infamous video that circulated years ago had a black girl standing in front of other black girls around the ages of 4-5 singing a “clean” version of Meg The Stallions song about spreading legs & shaking ass while mimicking that movement with the other girls with adults filming & laughing in the background

This is controversial because it’s normalized & accepted by our society. Men & women make millions of dollars every year performing songs hyper-sexualizing & dehumanizing black women.

Black women need to stand up & say no more. & use their capital power to de platform any artists whose career is built on degrading black women by refusing to give them money.

We know there are parents of children in the entertainment business who are willing to pimp their children out to powerful predators within the industry if it means their child will be rewarded with fame & money aka opportunities. The parents of Wade & James are exactly those parents.

They allowed their child to be alone with Michael because their children had entertainment oriented aspirations & their parents thought to themselves that if that’s what needed to be done that’s what needed to be done.

I do not buy for a SECOND that the parents were unaware of what could have possibly happened leaving them alone with a grown man.

My experience with akathisia was a living hell. I’m tired of explaining my story but it was textbook malpractice.

It has changed the trajectory of my life & changed me as a person. & I don’t want anyone who’s never had it to tell me “welL YOu GeT To DeCiDe whHaT hAppEnS mOviNg forWArd.” Shut up you don’t know what it’s like & if you did you’d be saying different.

Idk how I’m still alive. It’s much better now & very rarely ever comes back but when it does it is painful. It’s been 10 months almost 12.

Whether that financial compensation is never having to pay medical bills ever again for ANYTHING INCLUDING ELECTIVE PROCEDURES or what.

But that’s a pipe dream.

I also lost a relationship I worked very hard on because of it. I opened up to my boyfriend about my experience & he was so frightened by the way I described it - he later said to me “you’ve gone through things I’ll never understand & I don’t think I can be the one for you.” Sounds outrageous because it is. Everyone I explain it to in the best way I can even though it’s extremely difficult to put into words is speechless & has a look of terror on their face.

Whenever I wake up with anxiety & take 2 Tylenol within 30mins to an hour it calms me down almost gives me an euphoric feeling like that of a benzo. Anyone else experience this?

I don’t know where to make this venting-ish post. I don’t feel comfortable putting it on any of the other Christian subreddits - so if it’s inappropriate for me to put it here please remove.

My faith in Jesus Christ is strong, stronger than it’s ever been & I owe that to recent personal tribulations I’ve been going through these past years. It’s been tough for me. But it has strengthened my faith in Jesus more than any point in my life - that’s not to say there hasn’t been falls on my part in my relationship to Him.

I am of the belief that tribulations is coming soon: soon as in - starting within this year or next year (my opinion of course is fallible.)

I’m not here to argue about the timing with anyone. I am here to say that I am struggling with the concept of letting go of the comforts I have. I wouldn’t consider myself to be a particularly vain person but I do put a lot of time into working out & my appearance. & I understand that tribulations is not a comfortable time & that I will lose many if not all comforts that I “rely” on.

& I’m having trouble accepting that. & I fear that my attachment to these things when tested (which I will be as will everyone else) will force me take the mark or do things contrary to my faith in order to ATTEMPT to save what I have materially.

How can I become comfortable with losing myself in order to keep salvation when the time comes to let go of all of this?

A whole jar lasts me an entire year so I don’t have to rebuy frequently & I’ve heard people saying they reformulated. I’m almost finished with my jar & hope this isn’t true :(

I’m not the same person I was before, I feel different. I don’t even feel entirely human anymore. It’s hard to put into words what it feels like & what I mean when I say it changed me. I miss the person I was before even though the person I was before wasn’t without error & problems but I’d give anything to go back. I’m so angry at those who caused this to happen to me.

I feel empty..not a depressive empty but the shell of the person I used to be type of empty. The light in my eyes are gone, my nerves are too sensitive to any sort of stimuli, hearing someone behind me makes every muscle in my body tense up, I wake up shaking from anxiety, I have to make sure my stomach is constantly full because the stress hormones from being hungry makes my symptoms worse, I feel like snapping, I’ve isolated myself more than I ever have.

Therapy is a no go. My PTSD is largely from medical injuries & a horrible hospital experience. Any clinical setting makes things worse - being around therapists & doctors pisses me off

Anyone else notice their symptoms getting worse when they’re hungry? Especially when blood sugar is low

Every time I up my dose the first 2-3 weeks I get HORNY AS HELL. FERAL. I hate it. It’s not even a fun HORNY. It’s an uncomfortable crawl out of my skin type of HORNY. Thank God it goes away after 2-3 weeks but if anyone is experiencing the same thing & wondering if it’s the lexapro. It is.

Is that they’re involved in the drug/sex trafficking business & that their companies are a front to launder that money. That’s why they put so little thought & care into the quality of their products & are still able to maintain & grow the wealth they have without ever going bankrupt.

The sales can’t solely be from their publicity. I’ve had people in my life buy a plethora of products because that product was a trend/hot. But I have yet to meet a single person in my life who owns anything Kardashians/Jenner. (Not saying they have zero real human sales - I’m sure there are people buying their products but with how much money these businesses supposedly make I feel like I would be seeing more out in public)

A common question that I see from people - is their curiosity to know whether or not Trump is aware that he is the final antichrist. Now the answer to whether or not he knows isn’t crucial in the grand scheme of things but it is interesting to ponder. In an attempt to answer that question- I will point towards a post the figure known as ‘Q’ posted on March 10th of 2018

March 10th 2018 ‘Q’ responded to a comment he had received on the forum he/she used:

“We are saving Israel for last

Very specific reason not mentioned a single time”

As you can see a very vague reply to someone that could mean a million things. However if we look in the book of Revelation 16:13–16 (particularly verse 16)

Demonic spirits gather the kings & armies of the earth to wage a final battle against God - also commonly known as the battle of Armageddon.

Now the true identity of ‘Q’ has not been revealed & may never be revealed but if what ‘Q’ commented has anything to do with the final battle of Armageddon. Whoever ‘Q’ is knows Trump’s true identity & if it is someone close to Trump - then there is a real possibility that Trump has know for quite some time now that he is the final antichrist.

I

I’ve been seeing more lately than ever replies from people who agree that Trump is the antichrist but exhibiting antichrist behavior themselves by swearing, degrading & wishing ill harm on others particularly towards Trump & his supporters. The Bible does not teach us to respond to wickedness with more wickedness. What separates us from those with cold hardened hearts is Jesus’ love that works through us.

We are called to be loving, forgiving, kind & merciful. We should be praying for Trump’s repentance, his supporters’ repentance & any other person who has not truly accepted Jesus Christ in their hearts.

The swearing, the degrading & insulting is NOT Christlike & it needs to stop. If we are going to enter the coming season of tribulations then we must be prepared to be radically loving & more loving each & every day to counter the increasing wickedness that we will endure.

As wickedness increases - so should our love. We will be tested, separated into either wheat & tares - goat & sheep. Our hearts examined & tested.

Enough with the degradation, swearing & insulting. If we repeat the same behavior Trump displays what makes us better than him?

We need to do better.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil; for of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh. - LUKE 6:45

I’m looking for some hydration holy grails

I live in Michigan so summers are humid but winters are cold & dry.

My routine is:

Morning
Nuerrogena hydro boost gel cleanser
Haruharu wonder black rice probiotic essence
The minimalist ghk-cu + niacinmide + pdrn serum
Illyoon ceramide cream moisturizer

Night time
Nuerrogena hydro boost gel cleanser
Haruharu wonder black rice probiotic essence
Illyoon ceramide cream moisturizer
0.1% tret

I just added the Haruharu wonder black rice probiotic essence & it’s help a lot but still some tightness.

I’ve been using the tret for 3 years now so my skin is accustomed to it.

Not looking to add a new moisturizer. I’ve tried the cosrx snail mucin - I liked it but I didn’t notice a huge difference.

Looking for something that REALLY hydrates the skin. Oils are a no no.

Thank you - any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!

Last year a frequent member on this sub who goes by Servant of Yah on YouTube posted a video of his friend talking about a dream he had about the end times & a middle eastern war.

I feel that considering the war with Iran that started this past spring that this video is particularly relevant & would interests those in this sub who may not have watched it.
