Deception, deception, deception…

What can we believe anymore?

Christ warned us that during the last days we needed to be watchful and pray for wisdom so we are not misled.  This blanket of deception is so think and so large that many are completely oblivious to the truth.

Oh, who helps fund Media Matters?  George Soros…

Media Matters boot camp readies liberal policy wonks for the camera’s close-up

“I’m here to be intensely trained,” Lee Brenner announced as he came through the door of a discreet building near Dupont Circle.

The brick carriage house is usually the headquarters of the Mathematical Association of America, but for a few days in the middle of March, the left-wing organization Media Matters for America converted it into a partisan boot camp where rebel forces were trained for combat on Fox News. Over four grueling days, Harvard-honed instructors drilled a dozen softie policy wonks, molding them into an elite unit of smiling, succinct and well-coiffed talking heads.

Since its inception in August 2009, the Progressive Talent Initiative, or PTI, has trained nearly 100 pundits who have appeared 800 times on television and radio. Media Matters uses that metric to pitch donors for more contributions, but its leadership believes that the surge of camera-ready liberals has recaptured lost ground in the media wars against conservatives.

“There was a chronic imbalance,” said David Brock, the founder of Media Matters, which picks up the entire cost of the course. “We didn’t just want to accept that this is the way it is.” Brock is a former conservative writer at the American Spectator who was instrumental in efforts to discredit Anita Hill and to oust Bill Clinton, and who made a sharp left turn a decade ago.

The primary mission of Media Matters, he said, is to obsessively monitor Fox News and call attention to its distortions. But now it’s moving into the operational phase, transforming from observers to shock troops. The organization, he said, had to “professionalize the training and booking” of a left-leaning counterpoise.

Media Matters selected the coterie of attractive, articulate participants from 100 applicants, the largest pool so far. All in mid-career, the class included liberal think tank directors, former Capitol Hill staffers and presidential campaign aides, a pollster, a university professor, a combat veteran and contestants from both “American Idol” and “The Apprentice.”

Brenner, a former producer of CNN’s “Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer” and political director at MySpace, had recently founded a digital communications firm called FastFWD Group and an online magazine called HyperVocal.com.

To observe the training, The Post agreed to withhold the names of participants who asked not to be identified, which many of them did when instructors warned that a public alliance with Media Matters could jeopardize their chances of getting booked on Fox. Since Brenner said he had already criticized Fox on the record, he for one was willing to risk alienating “On the Record With Greta Van Susteren.”

One of the verses of prophecy I have always struggled with is in Ezekiel.  It talks about how all of the other countries of the world sit around and watch while Gog/Magog and their allies attack Israel.

Ezekiel 38:13 (NIV) – 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?”’

It was always out of my window of perception.  But… I know God’s word is without error.  My mind would rationalize it as the US must no longer be a power.  The rapture must have already occurred, which I believe it will have, but then I watch and read the headlines surrounding this Libyan fiasco, and fiasco may not be harsh enough.  And it clicked for me, my window widened a bit, and I can now picture, what it may be like at the beginning of the Ezekiel 38 war.  No one wanting to step up, everything driven through the UN or something like it.  Committees need to be formed and all countries consulted before action can be taken.

Can you picture it?  Does God’s word ring yet even more true?  Is God giving us a glimpse to widen our view?

The new world order is coming.  The pieces are falling into place.

Evil is the only word I can use to describe Soros.  It is amazing the influence this man has with groups and governments around the world.  Everywhere you turn, there is another Soros funded group, it is insane…  He is working to bring about the change outlined in Revelation.

Revelation 17:12-14 (NIV) – 12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

Looming Soros Conference Will Focus on Rearranging Global ‘Financial Order’

On April 8, dozens of “academic, business and government policy thought leaders” are scheduled to gather for a forum reminiscent of the 1944 Bretton Woods gathering that helped launch the World Bank and International Monetary Fund following World War II.

The George Soros-founded Institute for New Economic Thinking will hold its annual conference April 8-11, 2011 at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, N.H.  According to the group’s website, the event will bring together economic figures such as Soros, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker to discuss a new, globalized vision of economics in the post-war world.

“This conference reflects INET’s dedication to inspiring and provoking new economic thinking,” the website says.

“Crisis and trauma offer us a rare opportunity to work together to create real lasting change.  This is one of those times,” INET says.  Promoting “real” justice and equity requires “reinventing” the prevailing economic model — capitalism:

This is an unbelievable story.  First off, I believe the boy 100%.  I feel it in my heart and soul.

I can’t believe how this “journalist” treats the story and the boy.

We are in the last days!

Jude 1:18 (NIV) – They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”

Boy Who Visited Heaven Is Mocked By MSNBC Host

This morning, on NBC’s top-rated show, “Today,” Matt Lauer spent considerable time with Colton Burpo, the young boy from Nebraska who claims that he visited heaven during an operation that saved his life.

Colton’s story became a New York Times, non-fiction, best-seller called “Heaven Is For Real.” But the Today Show was not the young man’s first big media interview, he’s been on other national tv shows including a Fox News Network appearance last Fall with Gretchen Carlson.

After this moving interview, the Colton Burpo story took a strange turn.

While doing some background interview for this story, I also stumbled into a clip of MSNBC‘s ’rising star’ Cenk Uygur.  Prior to sliding into the 6pm slot on MSNBC, Uygur hosted an internet-based political opinion show called The Young Turks.

This is truly unbelievable.

Satan has truly infiltrated our christian organizations and churches.  There is so much deception these days, we need to be on high alert, as Christ said, we need to be watchful so we are not deceived.

Luke 21:8 (New International Version) – 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

It is why we must be centered on Christ and God’s word.  The Bible and the Holy Spirit must be hour guide, our Rock in these last days.

Soros-Funded Group Pressures Christian Stations to ‘Give Up Glenn Beck for Lent’

Some Christians choose to give up candy, soda or coffee for Lent, the period of personal sacrifice in honor of Christ leading up to Easter Sunday. But a liberal online activist group is encouraging two New York Christian radio stations to go further, calling on them to “give up Glenn Beck for Lent.”

Faithful America, a group claiming to be made up of “tens of thousands of citizens motivated by faith,” is pressing Christian broadcast group Salem Communications-owned WMCA-AM and WNYM-AM to drop Beck’s daily radio program from their line-up.

According to the group’s website, their mission is two-fold: “restore community and uphold the common good in America and across the globe.”  In service to these commitments, the group says it works to:

* end poverty and promote economic security for all
* promote peace and restore America’s commitment to human rights and diplomacy
* prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change
* counter hate speech and misinformation in the media pertaining to people of faith
* work for welcoming communities where immigrants and people of all faiths are welcome

The group credits Res Publica and True Majority for helping establish itself as a “religious version of MoveOn.org.” Res Publica is a progressive organization largely funded by George Soros’ Open Society Institute and boast board members such as John Podesta of the Center for American Progress and Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.   In 2008, Soros’ Open Society Institute awarded two $400,000 grants to Faithful America.

I think about this topic a lot these days.  What is the “Bottom Line” for Christians?  Or better asked, What should be the “Bottom Line” for Christians?  What does God want each of us doing, until he comes to take us away?

In layman’s terms, I think it is to wake people up.  Turn them away from all of the distractions, Satan and the humanists have put into place.  Turn them back to God and help guide them to salvation.  The gift that God has laid out there for each of us.  All we have to do is accept it.

But there is much to overcome, and for anyone who has tried, it is hard to shake people free of the trappings of this world.  It feels like it is getting harder, people are more skeptical, more closed off, with hardened hearts.  But Christ is clear, we must continue to try, though the hour is getting late.  If we try and do not succeed, we must “shake the dust off” our sandals and move on to the next encounter just as Christ told his early disciples.

Matthew 10:14 (New King James Version) – 14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Mark 6:11 (New King James Version) – 11 And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

Luke 9:5 (New King James Version) – 5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

It is listed in three of the four Gospels, we should probably pay attention!

End Times–The Bottom Line

Mar 7, 2011

Global economic chaos is driving the distress and perplexity of the nations of planet earth. The words of the greatest of all prophets, Jesus Christ, echo in cavernous reverberation with each succeeding news report from the capitals of earth’s monetary centers.

“And there shall be…upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25b).

Jesus’ Olivet Discourse spoke to conditions exponentially moved beyond norms. In other words, the “distress” and “perplexity” that nations will be experiencing as His Second Coming nears will be beyond any ever known by people of earth. And, in biblical terms, “seas and waves” refer to the masses of peoples. Jesus said that because there will be unprecedented distress and perplexity among the nations, the peoples populating those nations will be “roaring.”

One of the things that you will hear a lot once you start studying end times prophecy are “birth pains”, or “sorrows”.  Jesus spoke of them during his sermon on the  mount as one of the key warnings we should look for.

Mark 13:8 (New King James Version) – 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

Anyone who has had a baby or been a part of the process understands this process all to well but for those that haven’t, the contractions during the birth process begin slowly and fairly far apart, the severity of the pain is also small at first and grows exponentially.

This is what Christ was talking about in the sermon on the mount.  Once we enter the “last days”, we will see specific signs.  We will know that they are the signs by the pattern at which they come.  They will start off slow, infrequent and of a small magnitude and ramp up in intensity and become so close together you hardly have a chance to breath between each event.

This is what we have been seeing over the last year or two.  It all started shortly after World War II with the creation of Israel (which fulfilled a portion of Ezekiel’s prophecy) and has been magnifying ever since.

The team at Rapture Ready.com has developed an index in which they tried to track this at a high level.  I will let Todd, explain in further in the great article below…

Rapture Index Nears an All-Time High

Mar 7, 2011

If you think we might be a seeing a sharp rise in end-time activity, you would be correct. I’ve never seen a time when so many headlines are being ripped right from Bible prophecy. Over the past two months, Rapture Ready has had a 40-percent rise in its traffic load. A large portion of the hits come from thousands of people looking to see what Bible prophecy has to say about ongoing current events. Many of the key search subjects are related to earthquakes, the weather, the Middle East, and the economy.

Somewhat under the radar but still visible if one looks, the world is positioning itself to drop the dollar and move to a new single world currency.  I think that is what Jesus meant when he said be watchful.

Revelation 13:17 – “…so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, …”

Most of us today are so distracted, there are more time killers today than anytime in history.  Not even 100 years ago, people spent the majority of their time working for just the basics, today we have so much free time, we often hear of people being bored.  Or if not, they continuously have to one up themselves to keep themselves engaged.

It is really sad that most people probably don’t even know what the IMF is, let alone a SDR.  Until a few years ago, I did not either, but I had an awakening, it dropped the scales from my eyes and let me see all that was going on around us.  It is all in plain view, you just have to look for it and but a few puzzle pieces together.

It was this awakening that led me to start this site, so that I could try to wake others up as well.  It is not something you can do in one or even two conversations, so I hope this website can help tie some of the pieces (events) together for you.  Ultimately, they all tie back to God’s prophecy.  Once you see it, you will be amazed that you did not see it before.

Terry does a good job in the following article laying out what has been forming over the last few years on the front of an end-times monetary system.  It has accelerated in the last year or two as America slowing crashes from our over-extension spending binge.

Blueprint for End-Times Monetary System

Feb 21, 2011

International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials recently let it be known the direction of their thinking for solving the growing economic crises facing the nations of earth. Their cogitations, it is no surprise to those of us who view ongoing developments from the perspective of Bible prophecy, include two basic elements: 1) They want a single monetary unit; and 2) they want to make it electronic currency. Special Drawing Rights–SDR–represents a synthetic electronic basket of currencies. This system has been around for many years, but now, enhanced by tremendous advances in technology, is viewed by the powers that be as representing a genuine device to take down the American dollar and establish a monetary device that can power the much-desired New World Order.

I am sure as this unfolds we will continue to get updated information.  Looks like they have updated it to a 200 mile by 100 mile rupture that actually moved the island of Japan 8 feet.  The earth’s axis even shifted 4 inches…

Quake moved Japan coast 8 feet; shifted Earth’s axis

(CNN) — The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.

“At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass,” said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).

A second of two articles that I felt would be appropriated to revisit based on current events.

We need to reflect on what road we are on, and if these events are a wake up call for us.

Do we need to make a change in our lives?  Are we on the right path?

Two Roads, Two Gates, One Goal

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matt. 7:13-14)

This passage is often quoted in reference to the different roads traveled by unbelievers as opposed to believers.  Unbelievers are said to be on a broad road with many fellow travelers, all on the way to their destruction.  Believers on the other hand are a small segment of humanity and are on a narrow road to salvation.  This difference is further defined by some as pertaining to our behavior.  The unbeliever’s gate is wide and his road is broad, supposedly indicating that there’s room for all kinds of sinful behavior, while for the believer it’s a small gate and a narrow road suggesting that there’s very little latitude for misbehaving.  A careless step or two and you may find yourself being rerouted onto the broad road.

One of two articles I wanted to post due to the recent events.

I think they really sum up what is important and what we should be doing / praying for during these last days.

Thank you Lord for your word and reassurance.  And most especially, for your Son, Jesus Christ!

“For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” Psalm 107:9. Most of us studying prophecy know that the Rapture of the Church is on the near horizon. By studying the scriptures we can clearly find documentation focusing on that awesome event. The only part of the information concerning the rapture of Christ’s Church that will remain elusive is when the Rapture will occur. But as the psalmist says, God will fill a longing and hungry soul.

Sometimes I wonder, out of all those who believe Jesus will come and remove His Church from this planet, how many actually long for it and pray that it will happen, and that it will be soon. “When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2.

There’s a reason Jesus gave His disciples this prayer. It’s referred to by most as the Lord’s Prayer, but it should be called the Disciple’s Prayer. Jesus gave us that prayer to invoke God’s will. Each time we pray we should seek His will. What so many refuse to believe is that it’s His will that His Kingdom be set up here on earth. When Jesus finally sets up His earthly Kingdom after the battle of Armageddon His will will be done on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

Great summary article on the trifecta that is coming our way: one world currency, one world government, and one world religion.

God has showed us what is to come, so that we are ready and put our faith in him.  He is never wrong.

The One World System

by Jack Kelly


Revelation 17-18 shows there are three components to the one world system of the Last Days.  There’s a one world religion, a one world government, and a one world commercial system.  All have been developing for longer than most people suspect and are rapidly coming to fulfillment.  As this happens they’re becoming more and more obvious to the public.  No longer just the realm of the fanatical conspiracy theorists, today only those who refuse to see are unaware of their existence.

Japan earthquake latest: Cruise ship and bullet train go missing as Hawaii and Pacific are put on alert for 33-foot tsunami waves

A large number of tourists are thought to be among 400 passengers feared drowned after a high-speed bullet train and cruise ship went missing following the devastating Japanese earthquake earlier today.The massive earthquake – 8,000 times stronger than the one that hist New Zealand last month – sent a catastrophic 33 foot tsunami hurtling across the Pacific Ocean.

Thousands of people were forced to flee for their lives as the massive wave bore down on them, sweeping away everything in its path.

This afternoon, the Japanese declared a state of emergency at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima after the 8.9 quake caused the cooling system to fail.

Meanwhile, a ship carrying 100 people was swept away by the tsunami and bullet train carrying hundreds of passengers in the Miyagi region was missing. Their fate is unknown.

Terrifying: The tsunami slams into the shore line along Iwanuma in northern Japan after the 8.9 eathquake struck today

At least 200 to 300 bodies have been found in Sendai city, while dozens others were reported to have been killed in other areas of Japan.

Miyagi police also said that a ship carrying more than 100 people was washed away by a tsunami, without providing more details.

The death toll has now risen to 300 but it is feared thousands more are at risk as the true scale of the devastation becomes apparent and the tsunami rips across the ocean.

Tsunami warnings have been issued across the entire Pacific, as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West Coast.

The quote that caught my attention was:

“There aren’t many instances in which such a large earthquake occurs right after a magnitude 7-class quake,” said an official at the agency. “This is a highly unusual case.”

We need to start paying attention and make sure we are on the right path!  The narrow road is one of faith, believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, His resurrection.  Accept His gift to us, it is not through works but through faith in Him that we receive our salvation.

We are not in control.

Agency: North American plate snapped upward...

Latest Temblor An Interplate Quake: Meteorological Agency

TOKYO (Nikkei)–The major earthquake that struck northeastern Japan on Friday had the hallmarks of an interplate quake, which occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates.

At the area near the epicenter, the North American plate, on which part of the Japanese archipelago lies, slips under the Pacific plate. The temblor was likely triggered when the North American plate snapped upward, releasing the accumulated strain.

This was a major sign.  God is trying to get our attention.  There have been over 100 aftershocks of over 5.0.  This quake hit at a depth of only 6 miles about 81 miles off the coast.  That is quite a big rupture in the earths crust!  150 miles by 50 miles.  Sending 8 foot waves halfway across our planet.

_________________________________________________________________

Earth crust rupture 150 miles long, 50 miles wide...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan Friday was the strongest quake in the area in nearly 1,200 years.

David Applegate, a senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards for the U.S. Geological Survey, said the 8.9-magnitude quake ruptured a patch of the earth’s crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across.

He said the earthquake, which also spawned a massive tsunami that hit Japan before racing across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States, likely caused tens of billions of dollars in structural damage in Japan.

Laura K. Furgione, deputy director for the National Weather Service, said the tsunami first hit Hawaii early Friday morning. An 8.1-foot wave destroyed piers and docks in Crescent City, Calif., later Friday.
