Smash-and-Grabs: The Chickens Come Home to Roost

Large cities in the United States in recent years have been plagued with a rash of smash-and-grab robberies perpetrated by millennials in masks. If you are unfamiliar with the term “smash-and-grab”, the descriptor is exactly what it sounds like. A gang of hoodlums enter a store, smash glass countertops and display cases, and steal merchandise. The sweat pant clad robbers then flee, loaded with handbags, jewelry or designer clothes, leaving shoppers standing with gaping mouths in shocked disbelief. YouTube has plenty of unsteady cell phone smash-and-grab videos if you wish to watch the mayhem.i


Experts have many opinions as to why millennials are committing coordinated group theft. Some cite Proposition 47 in Californiaii, others cite insufficient police resources. Those are the more credible sounding reasons. Non-credible and absurd excuses abound.


But there is one big reason that America is being terrorized by millennial looters that few wish to acknowledge, and that is simply this: young people are acting like the brazen thieves their godless socialist educators have taught them to be.


Young people are taught there is no God, that there is no such thing as God’s law and there is no such thing as sin. They are taught that if it feels right, do it, that they can change their gender, that it is fine to abort their in-utero babies. In fact, they are encouraged to abort their babies because there are too many people on the planet, which is bad for climate change.


They are told that they evolved through natural selection. They are taught that there is no meaning to life. They are taught the common good overrules individual property rights.iii This is an argument created to justify theft.

They have been raised on violent video games where their characters steal, and murder and break the law. Millions play in never-ending tournaments where the single objective is to kill and steal more than opponents.

Most of their educators are socialists who hate the Constitution and capitalism, and is it any surprise that they have been taught to be socialists, too?


This is their education. They have been taught that there is no such thing as the truth, only their truth. And their truth is that they need those Luis Vuitton handbags a whole lot more than the stores do.


If this were a grand experiment, with projections about the outcome made in the 1960s at the outset by the scientists carrying out the tests, what projections would be made about the behavior of individuals subjected to such teachings from their youth? What ought to be anticipated about the products of such an education? Would one expect such people to be law-abiding citizens? Could it be projected that they would be principled, noble and responsible? Does anyone think such an education is conducive to creating God-fearing people who love their neighbor as themselves?


Of course there are smash-and-grabs in major cities by young people!!! Of course there are gangs of adolescents assaulting people in broad daylight!iv Of course Americas’ cities are full of crime and drugs and wrecks of human beings!! Of course San Francisco is full of feces and needles on the sidewalk, and stores that are closing and leaving town because they cannot stand the filth and the crime and the lack of law enforcement!

For decades now, the western world has existed on a steady entertainment diet of violence and immorality and evil music inspired by demonic forces. People love to watch two men or women bludgeon each other into submission. Of course the streets are unsafe! Of course there are blood-chilling murders and crime of the worst sort across the nation on a daily basis. We live in a perfect storm of immorality, selfishness, and love of violence.

What happens when you constantly feed violence and immorality and wickedness of every sort to people whose hearts are naturally wicked in the first place? God’s word declares that the heart of mankind without Him is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). What, honestly, do people expect?

The Bible warns that in the last days perilous times shall com. Perilous, dangerous, uncertain times. The Scriptures teach that at the end, people will be “lovers of their own selves, covetous,v boasters,vi proud,vii blasphemers,viii disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.”ix And they are.


We are told multitudes in the last generations will be without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” And it is true.


There is no millennium of peace coming on this world, as the popular churches preach. How could there be a millennium of peace with a world like this? There will be no “men becoming gods”, the favorite delusion of the elite. Rather, it is as it was foretold, “in the last days, perilous times shall come.” And they have.


Jesus asked, “When the Son of Man returns will He find faith on the earth” (Luke 18:8)? What about you, friend? Look around you. Are you ready to meet the God of the Universe when He returns, or are you running with the doomed herd? Jesus has bought you with His own blood because He loves you, and wants to give you a new heart. A clean, pure, undefiled heart that loves righteousness, not wickedness. And He says to each one of us, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). Let us do so while the door of mercy is still open.

ii Prop 47, as it is known, increased the amount a person can steal before being charge with a felony, from $450 to $950. This change has emboldened criminals and encouraged petty theft, as one obviously would expect.

MAY 17, 2026: REDEDICATION AND THE IMAGE OF GOLD

By Wings of Liberty • May 6, 2026
Nearly six hundred years before the birth of Christ something occurred in ancient Babylon which symbolizes the final events of our day. The most powerful king in the world at that time erected a statue of gold on the plain of Dura, and called the dignitaries of his kingdom to come bow down and worship it. The Bible says that they “were to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up” – Daniel 3:3. Carefully note the wording. Nebuchadnezzar’s dedication of the image was a service which blended worship and patriotism: Religious Nationalism. Church and state. Attendance and participation were mandatory. The statue symbolized a golden age that would never end. It was not just a civil idea, it was a religious idea, in direct response, a rejection, to the dream Nebuchadnezzar had in Daniel 2. The ceremony of the dedication of the image in Daniel 3 was a religio-nationalist event. Failure to worship the image was not only unpatriotic, it was a capital crime, punishable by execution in a fiery furnace. See Daniel 3:1-6. Daniel was a book sealed – Daniel 12:4. Revelation is a book opened – Revelation 5:5. Revelation, in other words, explains the book of Daniel and its prophetic significance to us. Revelation 13 maps out a repeat of the events of Daniel 3 and 6, but on a worldwide scale. The healing of the deadly wound to the papal power – this is finished. We have already passed it in the dust of history. It occurred in 1929 when civil power was restored to the Vatican, uniting church and state. Next is the setting up of the image to the papal power. Church and state. In Daniel 3, the three Hebrew worthies face a religious-political test. In Daniel 6, Daniel faces a similar political and religious test. The Lord is informing us of what is to come. In Revelation 13 we have the explanation. The Bible declares: Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Fast forward from Babylon to our day, more than two and a half millennia later. The most powerful man in the world is calling the country to the re-dedication of the nation. Re-dedication to what??? Rededication to its founding principles? Rededication to the separation of powers? Apparently not, for the three branches of government are collapsing into the power of the executive branch. Rededication to the separation of church and state? Negative. Rededication to liberty of conscience? Nope. Freedom of religion? No. None of these. The meaning of Trump’s “Golden Age” is the same as in ancient Babylon: permanence and power. It is not a civil service alone that is planned. No, there is a religious element to this service, as there was in Daniel 3. There is mention of a god. Re-dedication to God. This is religio-political language. The rededication of the nation to God. And that is the same forbidden ground that Nebuchadnezzar trod on more than two and a half thousand years ago during the height of ancient Babylon and its golden image which was supposed to herald a golden age. The parallels are astonishing. Striking. Too clear to miss. To blend religion and civil governance is to make an image to that oppressive and despotic papal power which ruled the world for 1260 years. Revelation prophecies that the “lamb-like beast” which comes up out of the earth will make an image to the papal power. That means America – which is built on a separation of church and state – will reunite church and state once more in violation of its founding principles. This is happening right now. The world will change forever on May 17, 2026. Church and state are uniting, and the nation, in violation of its founding principles and the First Amendment, will gather to rededicate civil society to God. With a union of church and state will come the push for religious legislation, because if the nation is dedicated to a god, then it will next attempt to enforce the observance and worship of that god. The blessings of God have been showered on America, but always on the condition that it maintain its covenant to safeguard liberty of conscience and the separation of church and state. The blending of church and state violates that covenant and will lead to a marked deterioration in every aspect of society. Babylon is fallen, is fallen – Revelation 14:8. The mark is coming – the requirement that Sunday be sanctified. That is the mark of papal power – the contended change of the fourth commandment. Revelation 14 contains the last warning to humanity: Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

World leaders tend to have inflated egos. Familiarity with worldly power and the ability to command armies and multitudes tends to go to their head. But as arrogant and narcissistic as the average head of state is, few of them claim to be god. That class of elite arrogance is usually reserved for a select group of the great megalomaniacs of history. 1 Pharoah in Egypt right before his country was destroyed by the ten plagues. Herod before he was eaten by worms, right after the multitudes declared, “it is the voice of a god, and not a man” – Acts 12:22. Papa Doc Duvalier in Haiti, who rewrote the Lord’s Prayer to give worship to himself – “Our Doc, Who art in the National Palace…/Hallowed be Thy name…/Thy will be done at Port-au-Prince and in the provinces/Give us this day our new Haiti/and never forgive the trespasses of the antipatriots who spit every day on our country”. Pharoah. Herod. Alexander the Great, who is rumored to have drowned in his own vomit. Papa Doc. And Donald Trump.  Long tending towards delusions of deity, the president released an end time signal picture on April 12, 2026 on his own platform, “Truth Social”.

HORMUZ STRAIT-JACKET, OVERWHELMING SURPRISE

By Wings of Liberty • March 30, 2026
The following paragraph was penned over 120 years ago, but accurately describe the events of our world today. And tomorrow. In the last scenes of this earth’s history, war will rage. There will be pestilence, plague and famine. The waters of the deep will overflow their boundaries. Property and life will be destroyed by fire and flood. We should be preparing for the mansions that Christ has gone to prepare for them that love Him. Maranatha, 174 (1897). … It is March 30, 2026. The Strait of Hormuz, a corridor through which a third of global shipping once passed, i has been largely closed to traffic for thirty days. The population at large has yet to realize the full catastrophic implications of this closure. When they do, they are likely to panic. In the weeks leading up to the commencement of the war in Iran, the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate fluctuated between $55 and $66/barrel. Today, it is $101.56/barrel. Brent crude is even higher, surpassing $115/barrel as of the time of writing. The Strait of Hormuz is the conduit for 40% of global fertilizer shipments, and 50% of urea shipments. 50% of global sulphur, used in pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides, come through the Strait of Hormuz. All such traffic is at a standstill. Already struggling farmers are confronted with the twin spectres of rapidly rising fuel costs and limited fertilizer. Maybe the timing of the invasion of Iran is just a coincidence. Maybe it was unforeseen that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if it was attacked. Maybe the people who plan wars don’t have sophisticated war gaming capabilities and artificial intelligence war simulators which project likely outcomes. Or maybe, if the elites who want a global population collapse could pick any moment to interrupt shipping traffic and create conditions for widespread famine on planet earth, they would pick the spring planting season. Coincidence or not, in addition to the cessation of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, China has also restricted fertilizer exports. ii Suddenly, the prospect of famine in various places globally is rising. To say that people are unprepared would be a gross understatement. Grocery stores in the western world stock approximately 3 days worth of food. Nearly all domestic food transportation globally runs on diesel. On February 23, 2026, the U.S. retail diesel price was $3.809 per gallon. By March 23, 2026, it had risen to $5.375 per gallon. Those costs will be passed on to consumers sooner or later, and inflation will erode the savings and financial stability of the population. Nations are being squeezed. Many countries in Asia have implemented fuel rationing. Sri Lanka has introduced a QR-code-based rationing system limiting private cars to 15 litres per week. Bangladesh restricts motorcycle purchases to 2 litres per day and private cars to 10 litres per day. Myanmar has instituted an "odd-even" rationing system for fuel purchases based on vehicle registration numbers. Cambodia has seen significant closures with a third of petrol pumps shut down. South Korea has ordered public servants to reduce passenger car use and capped refined fuel exports. Thailand has encouraged remote work, limited air conditioning to 26°C, and suspended fuel exports. Vietnam is encouraging remote work and limiting personal vehicle use, while some smaller stations have temporarily closed due to declining supplies. Nepal has limited the use of official vehicles to essential services and is considering an odd-even system for private vehicles. Pakistan has reduced available fuel for government vehicles by half. We have repeatedly been told that the war in Iran will be over quickly. But US soldiers were informed by their commanding officers that this war will bring in Armageddon. If the theocons who control the White House are anticipating Armageddon, why would anyone think that this is going to be a transitory situation? Or that everything will go back to normal if the Iran issue is resolved? The reality is that a paradigm shift has taken place in the upper echelons of power in America. There is now a union of church and state, and the Iran war is a religious war. A “holy war”, at the conclusion of which the theocons claim will usher in a “golden age” of peace and prosperity. Stock markets and political analysts have yet to understand, or even begin to consider, what this means in all its various ramifications. In the meantime, we propose that readers watch the following video on food scarcity, and seriously consider taking steps to plant a garden soon. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c77M4mC7yLg ________________________________________________ i https://www.etcgroup.org/content/experts-warn-strait-hormuz-fertilizer-and-fuel-blockage-could-lead-global-food-crisis ii https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/china-restricts-fertiliser-exports-further-crimping-war-tightened-supply-2026-03-19/
