Jesus and Santa

I interviewed William J. Federer regarding his book on Santa Claus.
You should listen, there's more to the story than you may know.

How is Christmas different from fables and frauds and myths?

First off, let’s settle that The Jewish nation and people and particularly their religious text were seen as something special, and unusual and worthy of note.

the fact that they even came back from captivity in Babylon to be a nation again was and is noteworthy.

Just like their coming back from 2000 years of exile to be a nation again in 1948.

This is literally unheard of. So there is something special going on there.

And their religious text, the Old Testament, with it’s numerous prophecies, many of which were seen to be fulfilled, became almost required reading for any well-read person back in their day.

Just as the Bible is today. 

Here's some stuff that their book talked about.

• The Messiah would be the seed/offspring of a woman and would crush the head of Satan (Genesis 3:15).
• He would come from the seed/offspring of Abraham and would bless all the nations on earth (Genesis 12:3).
• He would be a “prophet like Moses” to whom God said we must listen (Deuteronomy 18:15).
• He would be born in Bethlehem of Judah (Micah 5:2).
• He would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14).
• He would have a throne, a kingdom and a dynasty, or house, starting with King David, that will last forever (2 Samuel 7:16).
• He would be called “Wonderful Counselor,” “Mighty God,” “Everlasting Father,” “Prince of Peace,” and would possess an everlasting kingdom (Isaiah 9:6-7).
• He would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, righteous and having salvation, coming with gentleness (Zechariah 9:9-10).
• He would be pierced for our transgression and crushed for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5).
• His crucifixion was described in Psalm 22! Almost to the smallest detail.
• He would die among the wicked ones but be buried with the rich (Isaiah 53:9). Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy Jew, gave this condemned prisoner his grave, or rather lent it to him. Because he knew Jesus would only need it for three days. 
• He would be resurrected from the grave, for God would not allow His Holy One to suffer decay (Psalm 16:10).
• He would come again from the clouds of heaven as the Son of Man (Daniel 7:13-14).
• He would be the “Sun of Righteousness” for all who revere Him and look for His coming again (Malachi 4:2).
• He is the One whom Israel will one day recognize as the One they pierced, causing bitter grief (Zechariah 12:10).

One thing that people typically miss in that list is the prophecy of Daniel:

9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

9:25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Anointed One,{“Anointed One” can also be translated “Messiah” (same as “Christ”).} the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times.

9:26 After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

What does this have to do with Christmas? This prophecy tells us when he will arrive!

And many knew it. The “Three Wise Men” knew it. They had read the prophecies of Daniel, like any other scholar would have. Then they saw this celestial apparition, this bright star that signaled something, and since it was near the appointed time, they headed for Israel, to seek a King.

Some say this star was prophesied in Numbers 17 written presumably by Moses.

“I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel”

The wise men did not follow the Star to Bethlehem, they followed the Word of God.
They knew enough to head to Israel.
Then they asked Herod where they should look, and the priests pointed them to Bethlehem, where the prophet Micah said He could be found. And they found Him.

The Shepherds were presumably the Temple Shepherds whose job was to inspect the sacrificial lambs, explaining why they were out in the fields in December. If the nativity was in December.  And Jesus was THE sacrificial lamb.

There may be good reason to believe that Jesus was born on Hanukkah/Festival of Lights/Feast of Dedication (of the Temple).
The 9th Tebheth is marked as a fast day, and it is added, that the reason for this is not stated. Now, Jewish chronologists have fixed on that day as that of Christ's birth, and it is remarkable that, between the years 500 and 816 A.D. the 25th of December fell no less than twelve times on the 9th Tebheth. 

Fulfillment of prophecy on Jewish feast days is a regular thing.
The Angels announced his birth filling the sky with light.
He became the Living Temple of God, thus the Feast of Dedication is appropriate.
John 10:22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 
Was He there to celebrate His birthday? :)

The Supreme Court in Review

Your American Heritage Jun 25 2022 

It’s Day 521 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic.

Our federal government has been stolen by the illegal actions by leftist politicians.
But today, I thank my Father in Heaven for Donald Trump having appointed three SCOTUS justices that decided wisely.
I thank Him for those justices deciding wisely, bravely.

And I pray that they might continue to do so.

I pray for a Great Awakening of the American People and a glorious, hopefully bloodless, Second Revolution, the restoration of our Republic.

We live in what is supposed to be a representative republic. The government is supposed to govern with the consent of the governed. Not rule over us.
We have a Bill of Rights that clearly names what the state may not engage in to restrain our God Given rights.
Remember that.

These rights were not given by or authored by or even promised by the government.

This has been a banner week for the strengthening of the recognition of our rights. We had a ruling that the Republican Legislature of North Carolina had a right to join the lawsuit to defend their voter-ID law;

Gorsuch added, the 4th Circuit was wrong to presume that the state’s attorney general, Democrat Josh Stein, had adequately represented the state’s interests.
This would have been a sweetheart suit like Dave Kallman was warning us about, where the Dems refuse to defend a law they disagree with.
Does it affect us? It could. But it gives us hope.

Then, we had a ruling on the right to self-defense.

New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen
The second amendment delineates that right.

Please listen closely.
It’s been said that the Federalists did not want a Bill of Rights, because they felt that that would over-involve the Federal Government in our lives.

That the states could best guarantee our rights.
The Anti-Federalists felt that our rights should be delineated in the Federal Constitution, as the founding of our nation was based on a reaction to the trampling of those rights by the King.

They feared a strong central government. One that could walk over our rights.

So, I can pretty much guarantee you that if the right to self-defense was not listed in the Bill of Rights, we would not have one. We’d be like Canada, Australia, England, all those other commonwealth nations.

But interestingly enough, that right was not trampled by a strong federal government but has been trampled by our state governments!

Now, all states must be SHALL ISSUE when it comes to concealed carry. This bodes so well for us in every regard.

So, our rights are protected and somewhat listed in the Constitution. The Constitution also states that there are rights that are not listed. They are not enumerated in the Constitution.

The Ninth Amendment states, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

The right to an abortion, the right to murder your unborn, or even your born, is not listed or hidden in the Constitution and the Supreme Court has rectified that travesty.

The rights referred to in the 9th would have been considered “natural rights”, rights generally recognized. The right to travel might be one of these.
There is nothing natural about wanting to kill your baby. (That’s reserved for when they become teenagers.)

If anything, there is a natural right of that baby to live. That’s why it’s a double homicide to kill a pregnant woman.

Then, of course, we had the Dobb’s case which sought to limit abortion: the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.

I’m not a Constitutional Scholar, but I know someone who is. And he was instrumental in Dobbs going to the Supreme Court.
And he joins us today.

But first, let’s pray:

This is spiritual warfare. Good vs Evil.
Psalm 144 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle.

Clasp those fingers together, bow your heads and,

Let’s pray, Let’s go to war.

Father in Heaven, Lord of Armies we come before You, we thank you for these victories this week.
We ask that they continue. We ask that these justices rule favorably in the Kennedy v Bremerton High School case asserting the right to pray in schools.

We ask for a speedy relief for the political prisoners in DC because of their protest on January 6^th.

As for the criminals in our government:

We ask you to bring them to a place of repentance, a penitentiary or both.

We ask that you move by Your Spirit to cause a great awakening in America again. Awaken those asleep to the threat to their nation and their souls. Remove the woke.

That as the statue in Detroit at the former City-County Building says, from 2 Corinthians 3:17: Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

Amen.

Voter ID case North Carolina:

In an 18-page opinion, Gorsuch explained that the first issue before the court was whether the Republican legislators had an interest in the outcome of the dispute that would be “practically impaired or impeded without their participation.” As a general rule, Gorsuch posited, barring a state’s authorized representatives from intervening in a federal lawsuit challenging a state law will have such an effect on a state’s interests. And in this case, Gorsuch continued, other provisions of North Carolina law had specifically given its legislative leaders the power to defend the state’s interests in cases like this one.

 

What’s more, Gorsuch added, the 4th Circuit was wrong to presume that the state’s attorney general, Democrat Josh Stein, had adequately represented the state’s interests. That inquiry, Gorsuch wrote, is backward, because the Supreme Court’s cases have made clear that would-be intervenors generally have to meet only a relatively low bar.

 

On the gun law: New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen

"Much of the dissent seems designed to obscure the specific question that the Court has decided," Alito said of Justices Sotomayor, Breyer and Kagan’s dissent.

 

Roberts supported Dobbs, but wanted to keep Roe?

Justice Clarence Thomas, in a concurring opinion, wrote the court should reconsider all of its “substantive due process precedents,” including Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 decision that established the right to same-sex intimacy, and Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. (Both Alito and Thomas have previously expressed a desire to reverse Obergefell).

Kennedy v Bremerton? That's up next!

The Right to Self -Defense

 Good afternoon and welcome to Your American Heritage 

It’s Day 514 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic. 

Our federal government has been stolen by the illegal actions by leftist politicians.

We live in what is supposed to be a representative republic. The government is supposed to govern with the consent of the governed. Not rule over us.

We have a Bill of Rights that clearly delineates the activities the state may not engage in to restrain our God Given rights.

Remember that.

These rights were not given by or authored by or even promised by the government.

These rights were given to us, citizens, by God almighty, or as I call Him, Father. Don’t forget to celebrate Father’s Day tomorrow by celebrating Him with others in church.

The foremost of these rights is freedom of religion, speech, and association. These are all associated. 

And then they are protected by our right to self-defense. 

The second amendment is not about guns. It is the right to bear arms. Arms, historically, are axes, swords, clubs, knives, guns, rockets, and canons.

There was no restriction on the ownership of guns in America until the Democrat Party and others of their like restrained Negroes in this country from owning them, for their self defense. Then in the thirties they infringed on everyone’s rights.

Then again in 1968. All reactions to situations that the laws did not counter.

Today, the Left wants to restrain you from practicing self-defense.

This is not about guns. It’s about you not having power. Remember that quote from Mao, Power flows from the barrel of a gun. The left realizes that.

and they want to keep the power and remove the power from you.

Madman kids with weapons of any power are best restrained by a well regulated (trained and capable) militia, the citizenry.

These school premise slaughters among others are like shooting fish in a barrel.

Think of this: Shooting fish in a barrel loses its appeal when the fish can shoot back.

The Left, our illegitimate government, wants to retain its power over the citizenry by disarming it. 

They succeeded in China, in Canada, in Venezuela, in Australia and those government subject their citizens to whatever they want to. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, forced inoculations. Or anything they care to. 

“Shall not be infringed” does not mean “We can infringe a little, in a bi-partisan manner, with legislation that those in power agree to.”

There is no authority for a governing body to restrain your rights without due cause, due to malfeasance or criminal activity after a hearing and due process.

This includes the ownership of cannon, select-fire or fully automatic firearms, suppressors or silencers. The government has no right to infringe on your right.

The question should never be posed as “Who needs a 15 round magazine (and I retain my right to call it a clip), a scary black rifle, a high caliber pistol?”

The question should always be posed, “Who made you God to oppose the God-given right to self-defense that I have?”

I have that right. The government may try to restrain it, but that in no way removes my right. It only infringes it.

We have another Supreme Court ruling approaching us to further clarify our right to bear arms. We must hold this in prayer as much as we hold the right to life in prayer in the hope that Roe v Wade will be overturned for the hideous abridgment of the right to life that we are conceived with. 

The left, and I include the RINO’s that join them, look for any opportunity to restrain your God given rights, because they seek to replace God in your life.

The same perversions that bring you an Attorney General of this state Dana Nessel to say that there should be a tranny in every classroom, is the same perverted thought that want to remove your right to self defense and force you to rely on the government to defend you.

The complete antithesis of a Bill of Rights that recognizes your right to defend yourself against a government.

This is spiritual warfare. Good vs Evil.

Psalm 144 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle. My lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge.

Clasp your hands and fingers together, bow your heads and,

Let’s pray, Let’s go to war. 

Father in Heaven, Lord of Armies we come before You, we ask You to protect us from these oppressors. We ask you to come to our defense. 

We ask you to come to the aid of the over 800 people in D.C. jails, the ones who are holding prayer meetings and praising your name.

Please help us, and please.

As for the criminals in our government:

We ask you to bring them to a place of repentance, a penitentiary or both.

We ask that you move by Your Spirit to cause a great awakening in America again. Awaken those asleep to the threat to their nation and their souls. Remove the woke.

That as the statue in Detroit at the former City-County Building says, from 2 Corinthians 3:17: Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

Amen.

Cheryl Chumley Interview

Your American Heritage Jun 11 2022    

Good afternoon and welcome to Your American Heritage

It’s Day 507 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic.

As Pat Colbeck said here last week, that’s not a glib statement to make.
Our federal government has been stolen by illegal actions by leftist politicians.

The Supreme Court on Thursday voted that a Pennsylvania county may count mail-in ballots that do not comply with a state law requiring voters to write the date on the ballot’s envelope. Justices Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas dissented and wanted this on the October Docket before the November elections.
When someone tells you that there has been no evidence of election fraud or that no court has ruled that there was election fraud, ask them when the case was presented before a jury. You know, a trial.

Speaking of the Supreme Court, we saw, this week, an attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh.
Is this related to threats and encouragement by Left wing politicians?

When asked by Peter Doocy, the White House spokes-lesbian said that peaceful protest in front of a Justice’s home is acceptable.
Remember that the BLM/Antifa riots were considered “peaceful protest”. Words matter.

Remember the protest against the GOP congressmen who were playing baseball? Steve Scalise among others was almost killed in that protest.

BTW, why is every mass shooter or assassin a leftist whack job, usually on medication, medications that don’t seem to have the desired effect. Unless that is the desired effect?

 When patriots have a peaceful protest, where no one but an unarmed protester was shot and killed, why do we have a congressional show trial? Why are over 800 protesters, in fact even people who weren’t protesting, hunted down and still in jail?

We had a Candidate for governor, Ryan Kelly, on this show a couple months ago for a conversation and he struck me as a rational, patriotic Christian gentleman who wants to bring Constitutional behavior back to this state.
Thursday morning, the day of Nany Pelosi’s Marxist Political Show Trial, Ryan was arrested for his participation in the Jan 6th protest of the theft of the election. They waited a year and a half to throw him in irons. What a threat he must be!
Let me remind the audience of what a Marxist Show Trial is. It was famously applied in Soviet Communist Marxist Russia.
A trial was held, with a foregone conclusion, and instead of it being a secret trial, the norm, it was an excuse to send a message to anyone else thinking of dissenting from the government position.

This is exactly what the Jan 6^th hearings and arrests are about. Speak up about a stolen election and end up in jail for a couple years over a misdemeanor. Lose your business, miss your kids growing up, suffer health issues and be tormented for showing up at a protest that was 98% peaceful, the non-peaceful part being agitated by Government agents like Ray Epps.
This is how Socialists function, among other methods. A total disregard for the Constitution, the Law of the Land.
“the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution,” Barack Obama NPR 2021

My guest today has written a few books about the encroachment of socialism in our country

Like many, she believes that there is a spiritual component to this struggle.
You don’t have to be a Christian to come to this conclusion, but it helps, and it makes you effectual in spiritual warfare.
I’ve heard non-Christians, say this is evil in our face.

This is spiritual warfare. Good vs Evil. Psalm 144 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle. My lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge.

Clasp your hands and fingers together, bow your heads and,
Let’s pray, Let’s go to war.

Father in Heaven, Lord of Armies we come before You, we ask You to protect us from these oppressors. We ask you to come to our aid. We ask you to come to the aid of the over 800 people in D.C. jails, the ones who are holding prayer meetings and praising your name.

White House D Day Tribute

 White House D Day Tribute

This Memorial Day

It is Memorial Day weekend. 

Don’t thank me for my service. 

I did not die in the defense of this nation. Yet.

I knew a guy that did. 

We remember those that gave all so that we may carry on the fight.

Not that we might coast on their sacrifice. 

That we would pick up the torch and continue fighting the forces that would subject us to their power.

This is Memorial Day

.

It is incumbent on us to honor their sacrifice by picking up the flag and manning the line against the threats to the Republic, both foreign and, notably, domestic.

United States of Fear

 

Good afternoon and welcome to Your American Heritage

My name is Ed Bonderenka.

And I am Not your fuzzy insurrectionist! Working the board and the phone lines is Derek Stone, who has a show called Stone Cold Sports and it airs Sundays at noon thirty, right after my friend Sean Todd, the Rockin’ Rev on The Intersection at noon. 
You should listen.  It’s not your fuzzy Christian Show!
This show is available by podcast. Tells your friends to listen. Go to waamradio.com/podcasts to get the link.

It’s Day 486 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the fear mongering that we have experienced since the 15 days to flatten the curve began.
The overreach of the government, the shutting down of businesses, the closing of churches, the closing of schools, the restrictions on travel, the insistence on masks and experimental injections with the resultant deaths, imprisonment and mental health damage.

Surely that fear mongering was there to protect us, to help us.  to keep us safe.

Or maybe, just maybe, and I’m gonna go a little conspiratorial here, maybe they wanted to increase governmental power over you and an subject you to their power. It wouldn’t be to their authority, because they had none to do what they did.

The Word of God says: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

The leftist tyrannical fascists want to  give you a spirit of fear, a lack of power, self-centeredness and an unsound mind.

 This is spiritual warfare. Good vs Evil.

Psalm 144 Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle. My lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge.

 Clasp your hands and fingers together, bow your heads and,

Let’s pray, Let’s go to war.

Father in Heaven, Lord of Armies as described in the Bible, we come before You, we ask You to protect us from these oppressors. We ask you to come to our aid.

We ask you to bring them to a place of repentance, a penitentiary or both.

We ask that you inform and motivate those who aren’t informed or motivated to rise to the defense of our nation.

That you would move across this land with a Great Awakening to help us as a country to be awake and not woke.

That as the statue in Detroit says, from 2 Corinthians 3:17: Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

Amen.

As for these political oppressors, the unconstitutional tyrants and dictators

Psalm 109

7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and let his prayer become sin.

8 Let his days be few and let another take his office.

 

My guest today is someone I have been trying to get for your listening pleasure for a few months now.
In reaching out to him, I came in contact with Beth Maranville who I found so fascinating I had her on this show, and then Pastor Rick asked if she could stay for his show.
Consequently, Beth introduced me to Jared Schmeck of “Let’s Go Brandon” fame. I found that conversation fascinating as I’ve heard many of you did.

Now, finally, after many delays, I’d like to introduce you to Dr. Mark McDonald, author of United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis.
Dr. Mark was one of the first to describe the mass delusion or mass psychosis that we have observed.

He has been speaking across the country and is about to embark on a speaking tour of Europe.
Please welcome Dr. Mark to the show.

Dr. Mark, before I hit you with a bunch of questions, Why don’t you introduce yourself.
Where did you grow up, go to school, how did you get this gig, etc?
