The resolution passed 402-10. Six members voted “present”.

Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
As of October 2023, current events do not place humanity in the seven year tribulation. Context of Revelation 20 is towards the end of the tribulation. It is not a stretch to see a future time when people are beheaded for their belief in Christ. Hamas and terrorists are willing to behead a group of people because they are infidels as they see it.

Isaiah 17:1 The oracle concerning Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and will become a fallen ruin.
Damascus is going to be wiped out. The Hebrew is interesting in the description. The grammar states it is going to be taken away and removed. One could state it will be a ruined ruin or a ruined heap!
Isaiah 17:9 In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.
Jeremiah 49:27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.
The country of Syria has been in Civil War since the spring of 2011. Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on the planet. The city’s had residents and inhabitants for over 5,000 years.

Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me.
M. Kaleo Manuel, Deputy Director, State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources, Commission of Water Resource Management.
Manuel is an ‘ōlapa and ho‘opa‘a in Hālau Pua Ali‘i ‘Ilima, completing his traditional ‘ūniki rites with Kumu Hula Victoria Holt-Takamine in 2017.
Evolving from a land use focus, over the past 10 years, Kaleo has focused on bringing planning and indigenous knowledge to the fields of water advocacy and management in Hawai‘i.
Kaleo is one of 200 inaugural Obama Leaders representing the Asia-Pacific region with the Obama Foundation.
Kaleo initially denied water to fight the deadly fire in Maui.
“Water is an earthly manifestation of God…” -M. Kaleo Manuel
Hawaiian Governor Mark Green has encouraged open discussion and investigation into the issues revolving around water use from emergency situations to agriculture.
Revelation 13:16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead…
A little context here… The verse above is during the second half of the 7 year tribulation. The antichrist is on the scene and in charge. Currently, we have no third temple. The antichrist has not killed the two witnesses who have yet to show up on the scene let alone begin their ministry. It is the position of this website and ministry the tribulation has yet to even begin. We are trending hard towards these events.

Revelation 11:7-10 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified. For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
Context… This is the halfway point of the 7 year Tribulation. The two witnesses have completed their 3.5 year ministry.
A Palestinian tradition is to pass out sweets after an operation when a martyr goes to paradise. In the west, we would call this a terror attack. At any rate, this is cause for celebration for Palestinians.

Ephesians 5:16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
map: theguardian.com
The phrase “making the most” is an interesting translation. It is the Greek word exagorazo. Per Strong’s Concordance it means: to redeem; by payment of a price to recover from the power of another; to ransom; buy off.
Someone has purchased these days for us. See Jesus on the cross. Revelation 5:9b for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. See also 1 Corinthians 6:20, Colossians 1:14, Acts 20:28, Ephesians 1:7.
The days of our lives are precious and not to be wasted. Treasure these days and utilize them for good… because the days are evil.
Psalms 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
Another translation is Evil people shall self-destruct. Is this ever true. They will be punished. There are not 72 virgins.
Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
… seek peace and pursue it. In the original Hebrew “seek” and “pursue” are not passive. The action is to be intensive and intentional. “Seek” or require, desire, exact, request, demand are the concepts. “Pursue” or put to flight, chase, dog, attend closely upon, persecute, harass, to follow after, and aim to secure are the ideas (Strong’s Concordance).
Evil needs to be confronted.
Galatians 1:4-5 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father…
Yes, evil exists in our time (November 2015). There are plenty of examples on display in our world. We can expect there will be more evil.
Take comfort, evil will not stand forever.
Revelation 21:4-5 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
