President Trump, and most of our modern Presidents, have operated in both a public theatre, as well in a realm of audacity so brazenly criminal and so outrageously nefarious that they assume "nobody will ever believe we are doing this, and even if they do, nobody would ever believe them about it."

President Trump only knows how to best perform in "smoke and mirrors." Before he hacked the Presidency, he used to buy and sell properties and people, and he often would pretend to be someone else instead of identifying who he was, and he would use intrigue and money and greed to get what he wanted.

There are at least eight different "news" versions of the current situation over the past 24 hours regarding Ukraine's Zelensky, President Trump, and Russia's Putin.

It's all hogwash theatre. They are playing a game of chess with peoples' lives, as a form of popular theatre, for public consumption.

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
Ecclesiastes 9:13-14
..

The early saints were being baptized for those who had already passed away, and this is presented as a proof for our faith.

But today, so far I have found no true believers who believe this as true. Partly, because most people don't study the Scriptures, and because those who do study are dull.

Soon, death and Hell will be thrown into the lake of fire, along with the false prophet, along with Satan, along with the whore of Babylon and all of unrepentant Babylon, along with the beast.

The only fuel and power that Satan has is wrath because he knows his time is short and his defeat is sure.

Jesus Christ said "It is finished" twice. Once before He was crucified, on His way to being crucified, and once while He hung on that wooden cross, while His blood was draining from him, just before He gave up the Ghost.

It is finished.

Satan has been defeated, crushed by the foot of Jesus.

If you pray and ask the Lord for understanding in these matters, you will be granted that wisdom, and by studying the Scriptures, by praying, and by listening to others who have trusted in Christ, you will be taught by the same Holy Spirit that we all share in, and you will have communion with God.

If you hear the Gospel, which is the Good News, you will learn that Christ died so that you would not have to, and He went to that spiritual prison, where disobedient souls were kept from way back in ancient times.

If you believe the Gospel, you know that Jesus did not stay dead, but rose again.

If you study the Scriptures, you may find that even though many will "sleep," they will awake, some to everlasting life, and others to everlasting shame and contempt.

If you study the Scriptures, you may find that Jesus died and went to Hell. He is the water of Life, and He has the keys of Hell.

If you keep the words of Jesus, you will know that you are an eternal being, created in the image of God, and you do not need to die, nor agree with people who teach that your life will end.

If you keep the words of Jesus, you can have faith that your eternal life is everlasting and available now.

You don't need to know how the end times will play out, to be saved by Jesus.

You don't need to agree to doctrines regarding any "-ism" other than baptsim, to be saved by Jesus.

You don't need to understand the gates of Hell, or that Hell has gates, or that Hell is temporary, to be saved by Jesus.

There are some Baptists who teach that if you don't believe in the "rapture" in the same way that they believe it, then you are not saved. This is another example of a false dogma that is built out of extra doctrines which are not taught by the Bible, but which are made up of man's extra desires.

It is pride and stubbornness and intelligence of grown men who have become discontent with the simple truths of Scripture that have been the causes for extra doctrines to be said as necessary for salvation, such as what people believe who are entrenched in Reformed, Calvinism, and other theologies.

This is the salvation of Jesus Christ which is so easy to understand that even little children can trust in Him and He will receive them.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
