Is America Babylon?

 I do not believe America is Babylon.  Rather, I think they discovered America in the Bible, but they don't want us to know that.  This counters there leftist narrative, which seeks to demean and destroy America.  We need to look to God and be vigilant.  God is the author of all that is going on.  Through Jesus Christ, we can come to know God.  Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, to eternal life.  Look to him.  

If you look at American History, America was founded with the intent to worship God.  Many of the men behind the Declaration of Independence were Christian.  They were fighting a war for Independence, not a rebellion against the mother country.  Rebellions rarely work.  

From the American Military News the United States navy detonated an explosive today off of Hawaii.  At Kaneohe Bay. Off of the northeast coast of O'ahu. The ordinance was found by a local at a fishery named the Peipei Fishpond.  Another ordinance was brought up, 1,000 pounds, unexploded.  It was covered in Marine Life.  The state Department of land and Natural Resources disposed of the second ordinance.  

The state Department of Land and Natural Resources on Wednesday while crews took care of the munition.

 The explosive which was set off, was said to be 50 years old.  There is a video in the article of the explosion.  It sent water forty feet into the air.  

Rockets were fired at the Kabul Airport, by ISIS.  But they were intercepted by the American anti-missile defense system.  The rocket attacks come after the terror attacks which killed so many Afghans and 13 American servicemembers.  The Yahoo News! article explained how the rocket attack occurred just as the core diplomatic staff departed.  Ross Wilson, the top envoy, is not expected to leave the country until just before the U.S. troops withdraw.  According to the Wikipedia page, Ross Wilson became the top diplomat to Afghanistan in January of 2020 he became  chargé d'affaires .  So, he was assigned under Trump, not the current President.   

According to https://af.usembassy.gov/our-relationship/our-ambassador/, he served as Ambassador to Azerbaijan in 2003-2005.  To Turkey in 2005 to 2008.  chargé d’affaires, he substituted for an absent Ambassador or Minister in Georgia, Turkey (2019), and now Afghanistan. 

Today is Tuesday, August 31, 2021.  The war in Afghanistan is over, for the war fighting.  But the troops still have to turn in there equipment and weapons.  They still have to return home.  I wish them a safe return to the United States.  This is just today.  This is the photo of the last soldier in Afghanistan: 

The final soldier in Afghanistan

Major General Christopher Donahue was the last soldier on the ground in Afghanistan.   The above photograph was tweeted by the Pentagon.  Over the course of two decades, 750,000 servicemembers were in Afghanistan.  Tomorrow, the President, is going to address the nation on the pull out from Afghanistan.

According to an article from the United States Naval Institute, Germany received some new Offshore patrol ships.  Here is the picture of one of them.   

Bad Düben Naval Press Service (Michael Nitz)

The class is designed for patrolling the Baltic Sea, and the North Sea.  To patrol the troubled waters of Europe.  They were ordered in December 2016.  Built in Lithuania, the patrol boats were then transferred to Germany for final assembly.  What I found interesting about this article, is how the ships are not built in Germany.  Because of the European Union I guess Germany has to order its ships from other countries.  So different from World War II.  This is not the Bismarck of course, but a it is a patrol boat.  

Anyways.  I hope this blog post finds you well.  I am just continuing to do my day to day stuff.  I have another meeting with Vicki Walls today.  Yesterday, I worked four hours.  I have today off.  But I will be closing three nights in a row.  Well, I will get paid more.  Hopefully I don't get overwhelmed.  I continue taking my medicine.  The other day I called the NOSC medical to see about my Medical Retention and Review package.  I talked to HM3 Peterson, and they said Medical was going to submit the MRR package.  Finally!  This took forever.  I wish I could drill again.  But I do not have to do an AT and it still counts as a good year for my Reserve Time because of my medical status.
