Atheism, Judaism and Islam are okay,
Native American, Wicca, Santeria too,
But just say a word about dear Jesus,
And you will find yourself in a stew.
Hinduism & environmentalism are fine,
Also Buddha has a place at the table,
But just dare mention Christian faith,
And they’ll give you a very nasty label.
They argue that it is against the law,
They will even kick you out of school,
But the day when Heaven rejects them,
They’ll realize that they were the fool.
Shrewd politicians have a special knack,
For saying something but nothing at all,
Yeah, they will simply ramble on and on,
But it’s as if they have run into some wall.
You will listen very closely to their speech,
Trying your very best to figure them out,
But quite frankly when they have finished,
You are still wondering what it was about.
It certainly seemed great for a sound bite,
As they rattled off their various thoughts,
Yet despite all of their interesting talking,
Your confused brain is still tied up in knots.
But then as you decide to take more time,
To more clearly decipher what they said,
You suddenly arrive at the firm realization,
They were really messing with your head.
No, they did not actually give information,
Or tell you the positions where they stood,
They just so slyly kept stringing you along,
So you still question what’s under the hood.
Previously, I mentioned that for China to take over Taiwan, it first has to destroy American bases in Japan, in the Philippines, and on Guam where I happen to live. A Washington Times report called “U.S. victory for Taiwan’s freedom from China comes at high price” agrees:
“U.S. bases on the U.S. island of Guam also would be hit by Chinese missiles and destroyed in the first hours of a war. In all but five of the war simulations, China attacked U.S. bases in Japan, Mr. Heginbotham said.”
They are saying that this inevitable war will probably occur sometime during the next six or seven years, or possibly sooner. Of course, they are claiming that the U.S. will be successful, and that Taiwan will remain free. However, all sides will suffer terrible loss in human lives, military hardware, human suffering and economic repercussions.
I have been collecting the following list of news articles and BBB blog posts to share with my online friends and family, which will explain to you exactly how and why the island of Guam will be seriously affected when the China-Taiwan-USA war begins in earnest. These articles will give you quite an education. Please do pray for us, if you feel so led, because it is not a matter of IF this war will occur, but rather of WHEN it will occur. GBY, and thank you!
NOTE: Please note that the news articles below may possibly no longer be available at the time that you visit this page and visit these links. Also, you may be required to have an account with the news agency in question in order to view the full article. This is beyond my control.
1. U.S. victory for Taiwan’s freedom from China comes at high price:
As the Word says, the rich rule over the poor,
And the borrower becomes servant to the lender,
But if you don’t take heed to this wise advice,
You will dig your own grave, you big spender.
So many crazy people today, go out of their way,
Because they must have instant gratification,
But if you foolishly spend, as if there’s no end,
You’ll wind up in a heap of financial frustration.
So then better it is, to tear up all your cards,
And to embark on a much more simpler existence,
It may take you more time, to save dime by dime,
But you will get what you want with persistence.

“And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.” Matthew 12:25-28, KJV

And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” Matthew 21:42-44, KJV
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Matthew 25:31-36, KJV

“And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth . . . But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.” Luke 11:2, 17-20, KJV

“Then cometh the end, when he [Jesus] shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he [Jesus] shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he [Jesus] must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he [God the Father] is excepted, which did put all things under him [under Jesus]. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, [unto Jesus] then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him [unto God the Father] that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, KJV
