Cuba destroys Assemblies of God church
Officials in Santiago de Cuba demolished the building of an Assemblies of God Church last Friday. The communist Cuban government has targeted the church since 2015.
A prominent pastor of another church live-streamed the demolition. Authorities then detained the pastor, Alain Toledano, who remains in custody. The government has demolished Toledano’s church building twice in the past 15 years.
Toledano said he was documenting “the attack by the Cuban state against the church” to show “the true face of the communist system.”
First-hand report on Typhoon Goni from missionary to Philippines
On Tuesday, The Worldview covered Typhoon Goni that hit the Philippines this past weekend.
The Worldview interviewed missionary Timothy Swanson, brother of Kevin Swanson, who gave his first-hand account of the typhoon and God’s providence.
SWANSON: “From a personal perspective, the typhoon was coming in like a freight train, a category 4, to hit Mindoro to a category 5 to hit metro Manila. And metro Manila is huge and densely packed with people, a lot of people and families packed in there. A category 5 can bring torrential rains. People can drown; flooding and hazardous winds.
“So, we were really praying against that hitting Mindoro where we’re at and also hitting Manila. And God heard our prayer, and God heard our prayers and de-escalated the typhoon down. When it hit us in Mindoro and Manila, we’re south of Manila, it was definitely high winds and rain, but not the destruction that was predicted with a category 5 typhoon.”
Psalm 89:8-9 says, “O LORD, God of hosts, who is mighty like You, O LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, You still them.”
U.S. officially withdrew from Paris Climate Agreement yesterday
The U.S. became the first country in the world to officially leave the Paris Climate Agreement yesterday.
Trump announced the U.S. would withdraw from the agreement in 2017, but the accords stipulated participating nations could not leave until as early as yesterday.
Mainstream media’s claim — Biden: 264 and Trump: 214
The results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election hang in the balance as votes from battleground states are stilling being counted. As of yesterday, The Associated Press had former Vice President Joe Biden at 264 Electoral College votes and Trump at 214. The number necessary to win is 270.
The mainstream media called Wisconsin and Michigan for Biden, while Trump is leading in Pennsylvania where the count could be unclear until Friday. In addition, the Trump campaign is seeking a recount in Wisconsin and has filed a lawsuit in Michigan state court over vote counting integrity.
Plus, it would appear that Trump won Georgia and North Carolina.
Regardless of the outcome, Psalm 47:7-8 reminds us, “God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding. God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.”
Election fraud in Detroit, Michigan
Project Veritas just released a video of a Michigan United States Postal Service Insider who revealed that he was instructed to separate November 4th’s mail-in ballots into a special bin, then collect them in Express Mail bags, in order to be “hand-stamped” with a bogus November 3rd postmark.
That would ensure that the ballots would be fraudulently counted in the presidential election.
Since Michigan law establishes that the vote casting deadline was 8:00pm on Election Day, November 3rd, it is completely illegal for a United States Postal Service supervisor to instruct his employees to count the November 4th’s mail-in votes and present them as if they had been sent on November 3rd.
When James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, called Johnathon Clarke, the Barlow Branch, Michigan post office supervisor, Clarke identified himself, heard the allegation, and promptly hung up the phone on O’Keefe.
You can call Mr. Clarke, no relation to the author of this newscast, at 231-946-5319. And if you have any proof of voter fraud yourself or you know someone who does, email veritastips@protonmail.com
Republican gains in House
With the congressional elections still coming in, the Democrats are holding their majority, but Republicans are gaining seats in the House.
As of yesterday, Democrats now hold 203 U.S. House seats, while Republicans hold 188 seats. Republicans made gains in Florida, Minnesota, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Iowa.
Democrats and Republicans tied in U.S. Senate
And in the U.S. Senate, the Democrats now hold 48 seats while the Republicans also hold 48 seats.
Democrats flipped two seats, but the G.O.P. took one back. But, in order to win the majority, the Democrats need a net gain of three or four seats, reports Politico.com.
Colorado’s pro-abortion vote & Louisiana’s pro-life vote
Colorado voters rejected Proposition 115 this week by a margin of 59 percent to 41 percent. The proposition would have banned later-term abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy. Colorado is one of the few states with no restrictions on the murder of unborn babies.
Meanwhile, Louisiana voters supported Amendment 1 by a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent. The “Love Life Amendment” states that there is no right to abortion in the state’s constitution.
7.0-magnitude earthquake in Turkey/Greece region killed 100
And finally, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Turkey and Greece last Friday. The resulting tsunami and flooding have destroyed many buildings and left over 100 dead and over 1,000 injured.
In God’s providence, first responders rejoiced with tears after rescuing a three-year-old girl from the rubble in the Turkish city of Izmir. Ayda Gezgin had been trapped for over three days. She was the 107th person rescuers pulled out alive from collapsed buildings.
