We know that in coming days there will be terrible wars, great wickedness, carnality, corruption, and abomination such as the world has never before seen. The cup of man's iniquity will be full, and the fury and scourge of the Lord will be poured without measure upon all nations.The Battle of Armageddon is one of those events that will absolutely happen. Where we are uncertain about particulars, it may be that these are the moments that mankind might yet mitigate some of the destruction or where the Lord needs to hide his hand to keep the upper hand. Whatever the reason, the Lord is our great captain and His purposes will be for our protection and welfare. His arm is sufficiently strong to win any battle and protect His people. He has said so, and we believe Him!A special thank you to Jim Jepson for his voice talents in his episode.We are happy to announce that the author's latest book Elijah the Prophet is now available on Amazon.

Ever wonder How long it will be until we have a Billion Dollar Residential Roofing Company? This is something that has been on my mind for some time now. If you want to do the math on how to get there it is pretty simple. 10 markets, 5000 customers per market, and $20,000 average ticket. There is a good chance that SIRC, Apple Roofing, Monarch Roofing, Roofing.com, Roofers LLC, Modern Roofer and many others are on their way there. But what does that look like? As we have been working on the RoofingBusinessPartner.com website rebrand, I basically shut down a team of 4 people and said I needed to record a podcast episode and everyone had to be quiet. This has been something I have been contemplating deeply for about a year now. Watching everything that is going on in the industry; seeing all the crazy flow of capital into the industry. Looking at trends in Tech and the money going to the roofing software side. I was going to wait until the Roofing PROcess Conference on december 2nd to talk about this, but then I Got cold feet and thought.... I need more data. So for those of you that listen to this I was hoping you could give me your thoughts on the subject I discuss today. Am I a tin hat wearing fool? Have I stumbled across something that the industry is too busy roofing to see? Feel free to reach out to me any way if you have thoughts, feedback, or insights! Anonymous or on the record. I don't care! Adam@roofingbuisnesspartner.com +1-780-863-4653 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/RoofingBusiness/message

On the newest episode of '99 Raw. I analyzed and reviewed the latest episode of AEW Dynamite as this show was underwhelming. The best match of the night was Jamie Hayter vs. Rhio, as both women made the fans become invested. Cody Rhodes is going after the TNT Championship as it was confirmed by owner Tony Khan that Cody Rhodes would be facing current champion Sammy G on Christmas. Too many pointless Tag Team matches tonight. We saw an appearance by Malakai Black as he spits mist into the eyes of Juliah Hart of the Varsity Blonds, not sure why but I'm invested. The main event between Bryan Danielson vs. John Silver didn't live up to the hype, but the point was that Bryan Danielson could take out all of The Dark Order. CM Punk teased as he came out to MJF's theme was hilarious as the crowd hated it as I lol. The Diamond Battle Royale wasn't anything special as Dante Martin and MJF battle next week for the ring.

I dabble in some IMPACT Wrestling and New NJPW, but when they have their big pay per views that I classify as crucial for me to review. Not just those, but I cover all the latest news/rumors that are credible in professional wrestling. Not only that, but I talk about some topics that are on my mind with what I see on weekly wrestling TV. Lastly, I make fantasy bookings as I come up with storylines that would benefit AEW and WWE, but when it's appropriate.

This week Sasquatch and Yeti are on the job. Taking a break they are talking about what the future looks like for the church. We are to remain faithful to God and fight the battle with joy. Hope y'all are encouraged by this episode of the Bigfoot Revival Podcast.

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are going to be spending time in the Old Testament book of Joshua, where prophetical connections to our day and time abound mightily. Joshua was a man completely sold out to the Lord, willing to trust him in everything, and as a result, Israel prospered greatly under his rule. Joshua is a type of Jesus Christ, as we shall soon see. When we see God's man Joshua at the Battle of Jericho, we recognize the moment we rightly divide what we read there as a wonderful type picture of King Jesus at the Second Coming, and facing the armies of Antichrist at the Battle of Armageddon. The connection between Joshua and Jesus Christ extends all the way into the book of Acts, and in Joshua we see many incredible insights into the time of Jacob's trouble.

West Bengal's political scene is heating up in more ways than one. BJP, which pulled out its biggest guns for the Hyderabad civic polls, including Home Minister Amit Shah, is coming at West Bengal with much greater desperation. In episode 637 of Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta — with the help of some data — underlines the BJP’s war for 119 Lok Sabha seats. 

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Winning little battles along the way is important. However, winning the final battle is winning the war. You can be prepared... join us in this episode of the Next Level.

The Coming Battle - Pastor Gary Shiohama by sbcclive

Danny Sjursen is back for part two of his conversation with Scott about America’s foreign policy disasters, this time focusing on what Sjursen calls “the coming battle for Eurasia.” According to an old theory of geopolitics, the power that controls central Eurasia—that is, eastern Europe and parts of the Middle East, with all its natural resources and strategic position—will be the dominant global hegemon. Obviously, certain figures in the American government would like to be in that position. The problem, Sjursen points out, is that America is way too far away to have any business trying to do this, especially while countries like Russia and China might have an interest in trying to stop us. He says that based on his experience in the military, people seem to think the U.S. could wage a conventional war with tanks, infantry, and aircraft carriers against other world powers, without resorting to nuclear weapons. He thinks this is almost certainly untrue, and to gamble on it is to risk the survival of all humanity.

Maude Barlow is a Canadian activist and author who travels the world telling a simple and compelling truth: we are running out of water. And with that, comes devastating consequences. The author of Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right of Water explains the phenomena of “hot stains”, where large areas of the earth’s surface are running out of clean, drinkable water and describes this as “the most important ecological and human threat of our time.” Barlow is informed and passionate and gives a frank assessment of the state of water in Australia. “You have a right to be really angry with your governments,” she says. “What we’re looking at here are years and years of mismanagement, collusion with corporate and special interest organisations and industries, ignoring scientific, environmental warnings that were crystal clear at the time when some of these crises could have averted much more easily.” A Sydney Ideas talk on 3 September, 2008 http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2008/blue_covenant.shtml

In her new book "Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water", Maude Barlow says the world is running out of fresh water. Humans have done a wonderful job of polluting, displacing and mismanaging water. Even here in Canada, the supply of fresh water is shrinking. How did the world's largest resource become so threatened and what can be done about it? (Originally aired February 2008)

Water Under Threat: CETA, Fracking and Water Markets Featuring Maude Barlow, Council of Canadians National Chairperson Wednesday, June 1 7:00 - 9:00 pm Yates Memorial Centre (1002 4 Ave S, Lethbridge) Free admission! Everyone is welcome. Presented by the Council of Canadians-Lethbridge Chapter and the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs Co-sponsored by: Lethbridge Public Interest Research Group, University of Lethbridge Students' Union, Lethbridge College Students' Association Water is vital to people's health and livelihoods and yet our freshwater faces crises including contamination, shortages, and privatization. Canada's water systems are under threat from a free-trade agreement being negotiated between Canada and the European Union called the Comprehensive Economic Free Trade Agreement (CETA). A recent report from CUPE and the Council of Canadians exposes how CETA would open public water systems across Canada to privatization. In Alberta, the provincial government has plans to introduce legislation to create a province-wide, deregulated water market that distributes water based on the ability of one to pay, instead of being based on environmental needs and the public interest. Another threat to Canada's water system is water contamination due to shale gas extraction known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Fracking is a process where sand, water and chemicals are blasted into rock formations such as shale, coal beds and “tight” sands to gain access to trapped natural gas deposits. Serious health and environmental questions are being raised about the effects of fracking on groundwater, drinking water and on people's health. The federal government and provincial governments have yet to establish regulations and safety standards that would protect people and drinking water sources. Speaker: Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians Maude Barlow is the National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians and chairs the board of Washington-based Food and Water Watch. She is also an executive member of the San Francisco–based International Forum on Globalization and a Councillor with the Hamburg-based World Future Council.

In 2008/2009, she served as Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd President of the United Nations General Assembly. She is also the bestselling author or co-author of 16 books, including the international best seller Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and The Coming Battle for the Right to Water. Maude will receive an honorary degree from the University of Lethbridge during the spring convocation on June 3rd.

It is an honour to coincidentally feature two of Canada’s finest on this broadcast. Both are recipients of The Right Livelihood Award (the “Alternative Nobel”). Water, The Blood of the Earth Water has long been taken for granted throughout the Global North. We use it in seemingly ever-increasing ways without thinking much about where it comes from, where it goes, and how much water was used to produce the many products/services we use daily. The food system is just one of these significant users of water, and the current state of water around the world is of significant concern. The Council of Canadians’ National Chairperson, Maude Barlow, believes water is the greatest ecological and human rights crisis of our time. In March 2008, Deconstructing Dinner recorded her speak in Castlegar, British Columbia. This segment will mark the beginning of a more concentrated focus on water issues on shows to come. Monsanto Pays Percy Schmeiser Saskatchewan Farmer, Percy Schmeiser, spent between 1998 and 2004 standing up to one of the most influential agricultural companies in the world – Monsanto. While it was Monsanto that took Schmesier to court on that occasion, the roles were reversed on Wednesday March 19, 2008, when Monsanto found itself being taken to court by Schmeiser. It was the first case between Monsanto and Schmeiser that led to the 2004 Supreme Court of Canada Decision that ruled in favour of Monsanto. While the decision assured that regardless of contamination, a farmer cannot grow patented seeds, Schmeiser recognized that if the company is indeed the owner of the plant, then they should be liable for the damages that their property causes others. There is yet no legal precedent in Canada that has determined who maintains the liability for damages caused by patented plants. Monsanto does however accept moral responsiblity for what are known as “volunteers” (unwanted plants appearing on farmers fields). The company employs a program that offers to remove volunteer plants from farmers fields. In October 2005, Schmeiser’s farm was visited yet again by Monsanto, and again, in the form of their RoundUp Ready Canola. Schmeiser took advantage of the company’s removal program, but discovered that they would only remove the plants if he signed a release form that contained a confidentiality clause, which he disapproved of. What followed led to an out of court settlement on March 19, 2008, and Monsanto paid Schmeiser the $660 it cost him to have the plants removed. Tune in to this broadcast to hear an exclusive interview with Percy by CFCR’s Don Kossick (Making the Links Radio) – the only media standing outside the courthouse on that momentous day. Also learn of the interesting dialogue between Host Jon Steinman and Monsanto’s Public Affairs Director, Trish Jordan. Guests/Voices Percy Schmeiser, Farmer, www.percyschmeiser.com (Bruno, SK) Schmeiser is a 77-year old farmer who, along with his wife Louise, have received global recognition for their passion and devotion to standing up for the rights of farmers. In December 2007, the Schmeisers were awarded the Right Livelihood Award (also known as the “Alternative Nobel”). “I have always campaigned on the right of a farmer to save and re-use his own seed. This is what I have been doing for the last 50 years.
