“If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?”  ps 11:3 nkjv


August 4, 2026


 “The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.” ps 12:8 nkjv

How would you view these two scriptures above as related to surrounding society’s activity today; as related to the peace, justice, upright lifestyles, and moral and civilized practices the Bible [moral and just baseline for humanity], defines as satisfactory... in Yahweh’s sight? Does it matter? I suggest it matters, individually, only if one believes Yahweh gets to make the rules and people can only make choices [in agreement, or indifferent/self-determined, as they see fit]. How do you see [define] what you see happening in today’s world? Do you try to “look past/look around” the increasing dysfunctional lunacy being thrown into our faces as “normal” or “optional” lifestyles we should simply accept? Historically, no empire has ever survived the corrosive rot inside its society… foundations destroyed by wicked and vile men unchecked in their exalted evil. To the believers following Yeshua’s ways, this is a message of hope… to careless and selfish persons who disdain divine authority and spiritual realities, their snubbing this message will return to haunt them.

So many people I observe just don’t want to acknowledge surrounding abnormal, demonic, and pagan activities… partially caused by the mental health system authorities having decided their treatment center is the streets and public marketplace. Mostly, it is the lust for power, wealth, control, and greed, the nature of devil inspired wicked and evil men. Within this turbulence, I think most just try to compartmentalize their lives as though they were in a bubble that is satisfactory for them… which I think is an illusion that can’t last. Sooner or later, the wheels come off the wagon they are ridding in and it will be too late to fix or deal with the evil resultant calamity. History of nations teach us this quite convincingly.

The results of the two scriptures above have given us this convulsion of insanity; namely, it is a spiritual disease that always accompanies the exclusion of God’s commandments and practices of the moral and just constructs that they include… the spiritual vacuum of the darkness of sin and disobedience to God’s rules always end in the disintegration of social, cultural, and economic stability. Welcome to 2026.

The disruptions now manifesting in our midst are setting up the perfect storm for the continuing growth and destructiveness of the “red-green alliance,” [communist/Islamic] hammer now being raised above our nation, and in all western civilized places [infused with immigration masses with no intention of assimilation into national allegiance] where progressive and leftists are increasing their grip on bureaucratic agencies… in nearly every station of public services. In America, we see this playing out in the Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) and its death grip on the Democrat party. New York is its poster child. I think we have passed the point of no return, and too much complacency and selfish pursuit of materialism and prosperity addictions have caused the great majority of our “slumbering” people to plod along in delusional blindness of self-inflicted pleasure and entertainment attractions… which never ends well.

The run-away stampede for AI dominance, globally, and power to control the masses have nations and corporate kings wrestling for the prize of “data master of the universe” and no controls or safety nets are in place to prevent a soon to come loss of control over the cat that gets out of the bag. This technocratic surge is being “warp speed” advanced and nothing will stop it… unless some divine intervention should occur. This will have global consequences.

I will not venture off into some of the other explosive issues that continue to fan the flames of insanity… programmed wars and power struggles in international chess, and manipulation of markets and financial systems… evil and wicked men are undermining and twisting the information sources, with truth tailored to suit their interest… thus, it is. I have said all the above as they [it] relates to the two above scriptures and how it effects our days ahead, [especially for believers in Biblical foundations and consequences absent these things]. Here’s the thing:

“Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 Who have said,
“With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own;
Who is lord over us?”
5 “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them [faithful believers, my note] from this generation forever. ps 12:1-7 nkjv

Given the realities in the world and the direction in which it is headed… where do you plan to look, who do you think has the best advice, who has your best interest in mind… are you in right standing with the most important “advisor?” It does matter, as noted earlier, Yahweh makes the rules… we can only make the choices; and have we been choosing well, and will we be more diligent to consider our choices to come… it really does matter.

Here is the issue that concerns me the most… how can a person know what and how to choose the important things concerning these issues if they don’t know what Yahweh’s rules are? Has not Yahweh prepared us to share His truth [rules] with them? Or maybe the dulling and dumbing down effect of the present spiritual darkness enveloping us has snuffed out your clarity of thought… it is time to get back into the right relationship with Yahweh and turn from our errors and [repent if needed]. Yahweh is faithful to answer our cries for deliverance, and He always desires to restore us to fellowship with Him… it is the only safe place when the foundations are crumbling, and wicked and vile men are increasing and plundering humanity, which is the devil’s plan for the last days events… which I think are just over the horizon.

Shalom, John


“Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5 For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth. 6 By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.” ps 71:4-6 nkjv
