Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

'Why do officials think they're above the law?'

A county in Arizona is being sued over its plans to impose $1,000 fines on victims of crimes.

That's right, the victims.

These would be people who have a firearm stolen from them, and then they fail to report it fast enough to authorities.

The Goldwater Institute, however, notes that state law in Arizona bans local governments from regulating firearms.

So, "on behalf of Air Force veteran Chris King and Pima County-based Arizona Citizens Defense League, the Goldwater Institute is suing the county to stop this unlawful mandate."

Should victims of gun crime ever be fined?

The institute explained, "The new reporting ordinance isn’t just illegal—it takes aim at the wrong people.

Rather than target criminals who steal firearms, the new requirement revictimizes law-abiding gun owners who experience the loss or theft of a firearm. Some may not even realize they are victims until much later."

King, who is a county resident and NRA-certified firearms instruction, pointed out, "When my apartment was burglarized, both my wife and I were on active-duty out of state, and I didn’t even discover my firearm had been stolen until a week later.

"We’re a nation of laws, and Arizona law clearly prohibits local governments from imposing regulations contradictory to the laws of this state.

Why do Pima County officials think they’re above the law?"

The institute report noted the county's board of supervisors, led by Rex Scott of district 1 and board chair Adelita Grijalva, worked two years on the gun control plan.

While the state has been clear in its protection of 2nd Amendment rights, some cities and counties have tried various work-arounds.

"For example, in 2013, the city of Tucson passed a similar firearm reporting ordinance, which the Arizona Attorney General found illegal.

Over the next several years, Tucson destroyed nearly 5,000 unclaimed or forfeited firearms under another preempted ordinance. (In 2017, the Arizona Supreme Court found those actions and ordinance unlawful.)

And just last year, the city of Phoenix rammed through an ordinance that quickly disposed of nearly 600 unclaimed and seized firearms by sending them to the National Police of Ukraine.

The Arizona Attorney General, belatedly, agreed that Phoenix’s ordinance violated state law," the report noted..

The new gun control demands that those who are victims of the theft of a firearm report it within 48 hours or be fined.

In the state, its law "precludes local governments from enacting an ordinance that 'relates to firearms and is more prohibitive than or that has a penalty that is greater than any state law penalty.'"
