The Hard Truth…

Posted in Church Falling Away, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 10, 2013|

John 14:6

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

He did not say He is “a” way or “a” truth, or “a” life.  No he was very emphatic about who He is and God has been very clear on what His name is, the reverence we should give it, and the power it holds!

Moses understood this. When he encountered the call of God that came from the burning bush, Moses asked God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” (Ex. 3:13, ESV). God answered Moses, “I Am Who I Am” (v. 14). God told Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations” (v. 15).

Oh how far we have all fallen.  Very good article, be sure to read it entirely…

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Do Christians and Muslims Serve the Same God?

Does God care what we call Him? Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God? These are questions many Christians are asking these days, and for good reason.

For some time now, feminist theologians and a host of others have suggested that Christians should adopt new names for God. One denomination went so far as to affirm names like “Giver, Gift and Giving” in place of “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” to be used in worship. Feminist theologians have demanded that masculine pronouns and names for God be replaced with female or gender-neutral terms. But to change the name of God is to redefine the God we reference. Changing the name of God is no small matter.

As a matter of fact, God takes His name very seriously, and the Ten Commandments include the command that we must not take the name of the Lord in vain. We are to use the names God has given for Himself, and we are to recognize that God takes His name seriously because He desires to be rightly known by His human creatures. We cannot truly know Him if we do not even know His name.

Moses understood this. When he encountered the call of God that came from the burning bush, Moses asked God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” (Ex. 3:13, ESV).

In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile.  He writes:

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5

What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law.  But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.  It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us.

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9

Christ is the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), through faith in Him you will be saved.  It is the only “works” that God requires for eternal salvation.

Record Number Of Volcano Eruptions In 2013 – Is Catastrophic Global Cooling Dead Ahead?

Posted in Earthquakes, End Times Prophecy, Pestilence, Weather signs on December 10, 2013|

Amazing what we are seeing.  How deluded and arrogant is Man to think that we are the cause of the global cooling, when God designed this world and controls every aspect of it.  Many are deceived indeed.

Volcanic activity and the earthquakes that precede and follow them are one of the signs we are supposed to look for.

Matthew 24:4-8

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6 You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. 8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

By Michael Snyder, on December 5th, 2013Volcano Eruption

Have you noticed that this December is unusually cold so far?  Could the fact that we have had a record number of volcanoes erupt in 2013 be responsible?  Certainly an unusually calm solar cycle is playing a significant role in producing all of this cold weather, but as you will see below the truth is that throughout human history volcanic eruptions have produced some of the coldest winters ever recorded.  In fact, there have been some major eruptions that have actually substantially reduced global temperatures for two to three years.  So should we be alarmed that the number of volcano eruptions this year was the highest ever recorded?  Could it be possible that we are heading for a period of global cooling as a result?  And if the planet does cool significantly, could that lead to widespread crop failures and mass famine?  Don’t think that it can’t happen.  In fact, it has happened before and it is only a matter of time until it happens again.

I knew that we were seeing an unusual amount of volcanic activity around the planet so far this year.  In fact, I wrote about it in my recent article entitled “Why Have 10 Major Volcanoes Along The Ring Of Fire Suddenly Roared To Life?“  But I had no idea that we were on the verge of a new yearly record.  So I was shocked when I visited the Extinction Protocol today and discovered that we have witnessed a record number of volcano eruptions in 2013…

Big Prophetic Question

The Obama administration has just led the international community in pulling the proverbial rug out from under Israel. In putting the finishing touches on my book, Cauldron: Supernatural Implications of the Current Middle East (hopefully to be released between March and April of 2014), I wrote the following in part:

Sunday, November 24, 2013, the Obama Administration, with Secretary of State John Kerry in the lead, joined with the international community in making an agreement with the Iranian regime that many view as a betrayal of Israel.

Just as the sanctions against Iran for pursuing development of a nuclear program to produce atomic weaponry was beginning to make an impact, the U.S., in concert with the world powers that constitute the international community, agreed to lift part of those economic sanctions on Iran for six months.The Islamic republic promised to cooperate with the international nuclear observers and to limit its enrichment of uranium.

The Israeli leadership–which wasn’t privy to the behind-the scenes-dealings–wasn’t deceived by the near jubilation displayed by the cabalist diplomats’ actions. The Israelis realize that in Islam, it is not only okay to lie in negotiations with enemies, it’s preferred. Ends justify means, just as in the Marxist playbook for dealing with adversaries. The Obama team was apparently not as immune to the venomous deception as Benjamin Netanyahu and his leadership team.

The Israeli Prime Minister said, “What was reached last night in Geneva is not a historic agreement, it is a historic mistake. Today the world became a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world made a significant step in obtaining the most dangerous weapons in the world.” Israel’s minister of intelligence, Yuval Steinitz, added that the deal was based on “Iranian deception and international self-delusion.”

Israel, based upon a long history of dealing with treacherous enemies, is skeptical of Iran’s claims that its nuclear program is (more…)

Apathy, like never before…

Posted in Antichrist, Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, Mark of the Beast, One World Government, Rapture, Weather signs, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 4, 2013|

Great article this week by Todd at Rapture Ready…

It is so true, I know you will be nodding your head as you read like I did.

It is so hard to get anyone to pay attention to the signs all around us, every way we turn.

“You would have to be blind to miss them.”  I find myself muttering to myself over and over, but that is what people are: spiritually blinded by a lengthy state of apathy.

We are all susceptible to it, especially if we are not focused on the Lord’s work and drift back to the things of this world that will be “burned up”.  It is easy to do at this time of the year, which is crazy because we should be so focused on our Saviors birth and not the things of this world.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Dec 2, 2013  – Nearing Midnight

Apathy Like I’ve Never Seen It Before

Most people who consider themselves to be students of Bible prophecy are familiar with the signs of the times. Some of the most common signs are warfare, earthquakes, floods, immorality or any political activity related to Israel. Of course the Bible warns us that these precursors to the Tribulation hour will increase—as we get closer to the end.

Most people don’t realize that apathy is the greatest indication of the last days. You could almost call it the anti-sign. Jesus talked more about the lack of awareness than any other sign of the times. The Lord was so insistent about getting this point across, He repeated himself four times in the space of a few verses. He also included a story about the ten virgins to illustrate the point of the surprise Rapture.

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 24:44).

“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:13).

We live in a period that is both exciting and frustrating at the same time. It’s exciting because we know all the warning signs seem to say something big is about to happen. What makes it frustrating is the inability of most people to grasp our close proximity to judgment.

Apathy is a rather sinister thing because it eats away at our ability to comprehend the significance of other birth pang signs. Prophetic discernment is a crucial factor in knowing where we are on God’s timeline. Apathy is the main reason awareness has gone into a stunning free fall. We live in an age when even the most dire, warning signs fail to draw people’s attention.

Just a couple weeks ago we had horrendous typhoon in the Pacific. The storm set a number of records, and is just one of many that have occurred in recent years. As far as prophetic significances goes, I’ve never seen a disaster of this magnitude get so little attention. Years ago, the Haiyan typhoon would inspire people to write books about how it fits into prophecy.

In the past few weeks there have been several stories about the practicality of fitting people with electronic implants. I remember in the 80s and 90s any news story remotely related to the mark of the beast would trigger a wave of wild speculation by a group of people who specialized in the subject. Today not only is the chatter gone, the 666 watchers have also vanished.

I think the main reason why apathy has become so widespread is a historic lack of peril. No other generation has been less removed from dangers like: financial calamity, disease, and global warfare. Even though the potential threats continue to grow, the real danger remains elusive. I think the reason for this state of tranquility is that that we are prophetically in a great calm before the storm. Once the Tribulation hour starts there will be enough judgment for everyone.

The one positive aspect of apathy is that it aids the progression of prophecy. Because people are not watchful, events progress purely from the lack of opposition. I see us rapidly moving to the point where we could witness the global police state that the Word of God predicts. We keep losing our freedoms because the devil has deceived people into thinking they don’t need to worry about their liberties.

The cure of apathy is devotion, and a good way to stay alert is for every Christians to be productive in their spiritual lives. If you are busy about the Lord’s work, the moss of apathy won’t have time to grow on you. Because the Rapture is a clock-stopping event, it is critical that we realize what limited time we have here on earth.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness” (2 Peter 3:10-11).

–Todd

Connecting the Dots…

Posted in Aloha Sermon's & Prophecy updates, Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, Ezekiel 38 War, One World Government, Psalm 83 War, Rapture, Weather signs, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 25, 2013|

There are a lot of interesting prophecies intersecting right now.  For those that have not been paying attention they probably missed the few headlines that these preliminary events drew but they were really huge.

First, a few months back, Sec. of State John Kerry announced to the world that the Middle East peace plan was on a 9 month track that would end during April 2014.  And not just anytime in April but on the exact day of a Jewish Feast.

Second, we also have signs in heaven that are going to occur between now and then as the Comet ISON will make its almost month-long appearance in the sky during the month of December.  Then in April of next year, we will have the first of two blood moons, both on Jewish Feast days and also corresponding to the “conclusion” of the peace process as mentioned above.

“…four blood moons coming over the next two years – on the Jewish Passovers on April 15, 2014, and April 4, 2015, and the Feasts of Tabernacles on Oct. 8, 2014, and Sept. 28, 2015.”
Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/blood-moons-expert-watch-2014-and-2015/#mWAgYr1pIFZzJWkd.99

And it is not just this time, only 3 other times has a single Blood moon occurred in the last 100 years and all three fall on key years/dates for Israel…

… lunar eclipses foretell things about ISRAEL, and solar eclipses foretell things about other nations.  So I go back and look up solar eclipses with these dame characteristics and what I found is ASTOUNDING!!!  This type of lunar eclipse has happen three previous times in the last 100 years.  They happened in 1948, 1967, and 1973!!  If you know your history, you know that these dates are all dates of every war Israel has fought since her birth in 1948!!!  This eclipse is announcing another war – this time it’s the Ezekiel 38/Psalms 83 war that we’ve been expecting to blow up anytime now.  Every single one of these wars started ONE WEEK TO THE DAY after their corresponding eclipses…   <Full Article/Post>

Third, we now hear that the Iranian Nuke deal (that is really not a deal at all) will have a freeze for 6 months.  That time concluding at the same time in April as the Blood Moons and the Israel/Palestinian peace deal.  Coincidence?  Before you answer let me add in one other tidbit from the past.

Side note:  Is it just me or is Israel standing alone just as the Lord predicted in Zechariah 12:3. Netanyahu even said all of the other nations would regret it and we would be “severely injured”.

Zechariah 12:3 (NASB)

3 It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely [a]injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

Footnotes:

  1. Zechariah 12:3 Lit scratched

The last time there was a Blood Moon, it was on a Jewish Feast day of Yom Kippur, which was also the time the Yom Kippur War broke out in the Middle East in 1973.  So I ask you again:  coincidence?  No way!  Something is headed our way and it is all aligning, just as God has foretold us through His word, the Bible.

Jesus said in John 14:

John 14:29 (NASB)

29 Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

He did not want us to be surprised by these things or ignorant of them.  We are not to be scared or worried, but to rejoice for He is in control and has promised to keep us (His bride) from the worst.  It is our blessed assurance.

Titus 2:12-14 (NASB)

12 [a]instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of [b]our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

Footnotes:

  1. Titus 2:12 Or disciplining
  2. Titus 2:13 Or the great God and our Savior

We need to stand on the Rock and be lights unto this world as it is growing dark, very dark indeed.  Can you feel it?  I can.  Things are backwards, opposite, and upside down in almost every way and every area of life now.  Isaiah prophesied it would be during the last days.

Isaiah 5:20 (NASB)

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who [a]substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who [b]substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Footnotes:

  1. Isaiah 5:20 Lit set
  2. Isaiah 5:20 Lit set

We are seeing this come to light all around us, in every area of our lives.  Christianity is held up as a hateful religion and Islam is a religion of Peace.  Marriage is bad, unless it is between two members of the same-sex.  Our 2nd amendment and the death penalty is held up as evil, but the killing of an unborn child is considered a right to avoid the “inconvenience” of giving birth and raising them.  If you think the Sun’s cycles may have more to do with the hot and cold trends of our planet than man ever could, you are considered a flat earther/idot.  We can now be charged a tax for simply breathing due to the affordable care act. And today we find our world governments and banks, looking to charge people money to deposit (hold) their money for them and in turn block them from taking it out when they want.

Good is Evil and Evil is Good.  The world is upside down and so few seem to notice!  How distracted have we become?

Isaiah was right.  God was right.  This is a sinful world and we should strive, as adopted children of God, to be “not of this world” but aliens in a foreign land.  Visitors.  Doing His will until He comes back to claim His bride (the church).

Watch this weeks prophecy update from JD, he does an excellent job at tying together the dots and why this is sound doctrine.  Christ will come to rapture His church very soon!

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Evil is enveloping the world…

Can you feel it?  I feel it deep down in my soul.  Evil is on the march and at every turn is taking over our society, this world.  What is good is called evil and what is evil is considered good.  The deception is so great and so many are decieved.  They are so deceived it is hard to know where to begin in trying to unravel the deception that has been cast upon them. 

Where can we turn?  Where should we turn?  To God, usually the last place we turn, unfortunately, but He has promised us peace and comfort if we will turn back to Him.

We can rest assured that however great the evil is that is now enveloping the world, God is greater.  He has overcome this world and will be coming back soon for His bride, the church – true believers in Christ.  Those that hold firmly to Christ’s words:

John 14:5-7

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5 Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” 6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Oneness with the Father

7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” (emphasis mine)

You can not get any clearer than that statement.  He did not say “I am A way, and A truth, and A life…”  No He is THE Way, and THE Truth, and THE Life.  That is the truth we must accept and humble ourselves before Him, laying our pride and worldly desires aside, and follow Him.

It is our blessed hope, our blessed assurance that we are not destined to suffer through the times ahead but to be with our Lord, Jesus Christ, in heaven – our true home.

 

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

20 Obama Quotes About Islam Contrasted With 20 Obama Quotes About Christianity
You are about to read some of the most shocking quotes that Barack Obama has ever uttered in public. A few of these have been widely circulated, but most of them are very obscure. Even though he claims to be a Christian, throughout his political career Obama has repeatedly attacked traditional Biblical Christianity and he has a very long history of anti-Christian actions.  

A Global Slaughter of Christians, but America’s Churches Stay Silent
Christians in the Middle East and Africa are being slaughtered, tortured, raped, kidnapped, beheaded, and forced to flee the birthplace of Christianity. One would think this horror might be consuming the pulpits and pews of American churches. Not so. The silence has been nearly deafening.  

Help is not on the way: Christian Egyptians still under attack
Violence specifically targeting Christians in Egypt has reached a level not seen for many centuries, says Todd Daniels with International Christian Concern. “There continues to be issues of attacks on property owned by Christians,” says Daniels, and now reports of kidnappings of children are coming from the country.  

Lebanese Encroachment on Israeli Waters Could Lead to War
srael is being advised to take legal, and possibly even military action in response to Lebanon’s issuing of an offshore energy exploration license that encroaches on Israel’s territorial waters. international law experts are telling Israel that it must respond—either in court or through military force—or risk losing some of its maritime territory. The areas in question are indeed rich in natural gas, Israel has already discovered massive offshore deposits.  

Pope Francis to ‘rip up and rewrite’ Vatican constitution
“Cardinal Maradiaga is hinting that the Pope is asking the fundamental question: What can be decided in Rome and what at local level? How can the Roman Curia serve bishops instead of being an office of censure and control?”  

Israelis and Palestinians aim to negotiate a ‘final’ peace deal after positive talks
Israelis and Palestinians have agreed to intensify peace talks aimed at reaching a final agreement, not an interim accord, US Secretary of State John Kerry has announced.  

A New Muslim Vision: Rebuilding Solomon’s Temple Together
As a devout Muslim, it would be a joy for me to see Prophet Solomon’s Temple rebuilt as well. No, you did not hear me wrong. Prophet Solomon’s Temple being rebuilt in all its magnificence and glory would be a great delight for me, as it would be to any Muslim. Under different circumstances, in an atmosphere of trust, love and brotherhood, Muslims would welcome this with enthusiasm. The Temple of Solomon is also a historically important place, and rebuilding it would be a wonderful occasion for all believers to contemplate.  

How Long Do We Have Before Seeing Hyperinflation? One Expert’s Answer May Frighten You

A top climate scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lambasted a new report by the UN’s climate bureaucracy… “I think that the latest IPCC report has truly sunk to level of hilarious incoherence,” Dr. Richard Lindzen told Climate Depot, a global warming skeptic news site. “They are proclaiming increased confidence in their models as the discrepancies between their models and observations increase.”  

NBC Set To Spend The Week As Obama’s Personal Propaganda Machine
If you tune in to NBC News this week, prepare to be dazzled by wall-to-wall Obamacare gush coverage. The network announced Friday that it has scheduled a special series of programs and reports to begin this week to “help Americans get the most out of the Affordable Care Act.”  

The Coming Common Core Disaster
The new national education standards adopted by 45 States and the District of Columbia and now slipping into America’s schools are a collectivist’s dream. Called Common Core, it is an attempt to create a Federally controlled education system designed to turn children into mind-numbed drones devoid of imagination and inculcated with a progressive culture of redistributionist economics, social justice, the mainstreaming of perverted lifestyles, secular humanism and radical environmentalism.

Surprise double update this week on Syria, the hour we find ourselves in, and a great breakdown of Paul’s discussion of the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians.

At the end of the first video JD gives an amazing breakdown of what Communion should mean to us and what the Lord was really saying to the disciples and the church.  We take such a shallow look at things so many times and it is so refreshing to hear the truth and dig deep into the Lord’s word to us.  His blessed reassurance!

The World is Upside Down…

Posted in Deception, End Times Prophecy, Ezekiel 38 War, One World Government, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , , , , on September 12, 2013|

I hope you all have been following the avalanche of headlines/articles on Syria and Egypt.  I have not posted much on them as there is simply too much and it is so plentiful that you would have to be blind to miss it.  We are seeing Isaiah 17 and Isaiah 19 being fulfilled and the stage set for Psalms 83 and Ezekiel 38.

The article below jumped out at me this morning as I was scanning the blaze for headlines.  I have been amazed at how quickly the world has flipped in the last couple of days, it is truly breathtaking.  Reading the article Putin sounds like the voice of reason with our US administration as the spoiled rotten child calling names and assigning ownership in hysterics.  It is really astounding.   I heard one commentator stating that we lost our world power status this week to Russia.  If that is the case, then it would certainly address the question that has troubled many prophecy students in the years past and present:  Where is the US during the last days?  Folks we may have just gotten our answer.

I couldn’t believe the response from the WH printed at the end.  It is so childish and lacking in adult leadership.  It sounds more like a four-year old that lost a fight with his older brother than a government official.

“That’s all irrelevant,” the White House official said in response. “He put this proposal forward and he’s now invested in it. That’s good. That’s the best possible reaction. He’s fully invested in Syria’s CW disarmament and that’s potentially better than a military strike – which would deter and degrade but wouldn’t get rid of all the chemical weapons. He now owns this. He has fully asserted ownership of it and he needs to deliver.”

Unbelievable!  The world is truly upside down…

Russian President Vladimir Putin Speaks ‘Directly to the American People’ on Syria, Jabs ‘Exceptionalism’

Sep. 11, 2013 9:20pm

 
Recent developments in Syria prompted Russian President Vladimir Putin to “speak directly to the American people and their political leaders.” In order to do that, he reached out to the New York Times to publish an op-ed about the implications of “war and peace” and the consequences of taking military action against Syria.

“Relations between us have passed through different stages,” Putin writes. “We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization — the United Nations — was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again.”

The Russian leader stressed that Syria is “not witnessing a battle for democracy, but an armed conflict between government and opposition in a multireligious country.”

The Truth about the Lie…Evolution. Where do you place your faith?

Posted in Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 28, 2013|

I don’t know if she didn’t get the point or if she doesn’t want to directly answer it but the point is not that a bird morphs over time into another bird or a lizard into a different lizard that cannot mate.

It is about an example of a lizard becoming a mammal or a fish becoming a bird over time, (not mammal or a fish becoming a bird over time, (not instantly, as she stats).  No one was saying that a bird would give birth to a small monkey.  This changing of kinds (or what every you want to call it) we have no proof of it ever occurring that was Ray’s point.  Evolutionists make the “leap of faith” to say if we see it inter-species then it occurred across species as well.

Because you have no evidence it takes faith to believe that the change occurred without evidence.  This is the same definition of “faith” the evolutionist accuse creationists of needing and it is true in both cases.  Both theories need faith, the true question is where do you place your faith?  Do you place your faith in God or do you place your faith in man (science)?

Evolution is not fact, undisputed.  It is a theory.  That is the big lie that we as a society have allowed ourselves to be fed.  It is also why there is such a strong reaction to Ray’s video.  The truth cannot be allowed to get out.  The truth is evolution is a theory, that is why it used to be called the “theory of evolution” which was conveniently dropped in the last few years.

Make sure to watch both video’s, Ray’s first so you can understand what she is referring to in her rebuttal.

Deception is great!  And growing daily, they can not let the truth get out.  Did you know in the last couple of years they have found soft tissue with a T-Rex fossil dig site.  They were able to capture DNA and blood samples from it.  Problem is, soft tissue can not survive beyond 10,000 years which means the T-Rex would have to be less than 10,000 years old, not millions or even billions of years old.  For more check out this link – Dinosaur soft tissue found.

The Truth is out there!

In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile.  He writes:

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5

What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law.  But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.  It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us.

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9

Christ is the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), through faith in Him you will be saved.  It is the only “works” that God requires for eternal salvation.

The Marriage Covenant

By Mike Taylor

IN the beginning, Genesis 2.21-24:

“And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

The marriage covenant between one man and one woman is under all out assault in this country and around the world. No longer is the covenant God instituted regarded as sacred with men and women jumping from one relationship to another in a hop scotch of perversions─male with female same sex perversions, and … well, you name it. Liberal society has abandoned the God ordained institution as the building block of a healthy society to its eventual demise and destruction.

As noted in the previous verse, God made one woman for one man, and a man for one woman, and blessed the union of the two being joined as one flesh. He made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Bruce. If Adam and Eve had not broken the commandment of God, none of the problems we have today would be present. But when Eve saw the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the wily old serpent we call Satan, lied to her and tempted her to fulfill her human desire of being “enlightened” to the ways of humanist desires to rule one’s self and “do their own thing.” When God questioned Adam and Eve and their sin was out in the open, God pronounced curses upon them. One of them is found in the following verse:

Genesis 3.16: “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”

The Return Of The Kings Of The North And South

Posted in End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 14, 2013|

Great Article by Jack on additional signs we are seeing from Daniel 11.

The split in Islam between Shiite’s and Sunni’s is one that I started looking into a year ago and it is very eye-opening to understanding prophecy and what we are seeing unfold.  We truly are seeing these two “Kings” forming and rising up.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

The Return Of The Kings Of The North And South

by Jack Kelly 

“At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships” (Daniel 11:40)

Several times over the last few years I’ve made mention of my belief that two powerful and opposing forces of Biblical times were in the process of re-emerging to become part of the increasingly complex situation in the Middle East. These two adversaries are called the King of the North and the King of the South in Daniel 11 and recent events show they’ve both taken a giant step toward fulfilling their  prophetic destiny.

My most recent study on this subject is not quite two years old and appears under the title “The Three Kings Of Daniel 11”.  It’s named that way because in their end times appearance, the Kings of the North and South will not only oppose each other, they will both oppose the anti-Christ, who is called “the King who exalts himself” in Daniel 11:36.

Daniel 11:5-35 is a summary of the historical times of these two kings as they battled each other for control of what we now call the Middle East through several generations. They finally disappeared as the Romans were coming into prominence.  It’s amazing to consider that Daniel wrote about all of them before any of them were born, squeezing over 100 historically documented prophecies into the first 35 verses of Daniel 11. 

Daniel 11:36-45 are still future to us and require the re-emergence of these kings to be fulfilled. I believe in  our current headlines we’re seeing signs that they’re preparing to rise and take their positions on the end times stage.

What Makes You Say That?

In my Mid East Update I reported that Saudi Arabia gave the Egyptian Army substantial assistance in its successful overthrow of the government.  We now know that the United Arab Emirates and Kuwaitt  were also involved.   I mentioned that this concerns the US because of the possibility that these countries are banding together into a Sunni Muslim confederacy to oppose Iran. There’s a likelihood that they will support and even assist Israel in destroying Iran’s nuclear program.  (The US is not opposed to a Sunni confederacy, but has been trying to build one around Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood in a revival of the Ottoman Empire.  Saudi Arabia and Egypt have become too independent for American tastes.) 

Now, several Middle Eastern news services are reporting that Iran is working to build a Shiite Muslim block  to counter this move by the (more…)

I Have To Have That

By Camilla Smith

I am sure many of you are feeling the fog in the brain that Satan is sending our way recently. It is simply static. What is it about clarity and keeping focused? I am having so much trouble lately, keeping my eye on the prize and honing in on my purpose as a Christian and an end-times “watchman.” Maybe it is Satan.  Maybe it is eBay.   Frankly, I think they are one and the same. But lately, I am finding myself jumping right back into the world and looking for those little comforts that money can afford.   Which brings me to my next I-Pod-while-walking lesson.  

All this walking has helped me to shed quite a few pounds and happily, lose a few clothing sizes. New wardrobe you say? Why of course! How about a few handbags and several pairs of shoes to go with that? Yes, please. Okay, but when is enough, enough? It is enough now. I am starting to feel dazed and delirious and I am ready to get off this little whirlwind tour down Cash and Carry Lane.  

So I will. With God’s help, I will get back to that I-Pod and pay attention to the song that seems to come on more often than any of them…“I’d Rather Have Jesus.” Oh, yes it does, seems like every fourth song. Subtle, isn’t it?

The Truth of our founding and what we have let it become…

Posted in Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 14, 2013|

Lea does an amazing job putting together an air tight case for our founding as a nation.  It has always amazed me how much spin and so many lies are out there about our founding.  But just like everything, if you go directly to the source, our founding fathers letters and sayings and match up their written works with older text that influenced them, you will find the Truth.  It is out there, it is just most of us are too busy, distracted, or lazy to search.  Not all of this is our fault, it is the way our modern society has transformed, more is certainly not better in all cases, and that is one of our serious problems: more-itis.  We need to simplify our lives and return to our distant roots.

Some of my favorite tidbits from the article:

Political Science Professors at the University of Houston wanted to know the source of the Founding Father’s ideas. After assembling over 15,000 documents, quotes and writings from them this is what they learned:

Direct quotes (3,154) showed that 7.9% were from William Blackstone. Blackstone’s Commentary on the Law/span>, 1758 was the textbook for American lawyers and it contained direct Bible quotes referencing sources of laws; 8.3% were from Charles Montesquieu, a political philosopher; 2.9% were from John Locke, theologian and political philosopher; 94% were quotes from The BIBLE, of which 34% were direct quotes, and 60% were quotes from men who quoted the Bible in their writings. 

The Word: “In the beginning was the Word…” John 1:1.

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason, people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here.” ─Patrick Henry’s, May 1765 Speech before the House of Burgesses

Take some time to read Lea’s full article below, you will certainly not be disappointed.

_________________________________________________________________

People are strange. And it seems that Christians can be the strangest. True freedom can only come through God. Our nation was founded upon God-given rights, or what is called Natural Law. These are rights that are given by our Creator and, not by any person or governmental body. They cannot be taken away.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1).

It is unfortunate, then, that most of today’s Christians (at least in the Western world, particularly America) are as much in bondage as those who are not Christians. They are in bondage to traditions of men, liturgy and doctrine. They are enslaved much as the Pharisees enslaved Judaism from accounts we read in the Bible. Jesus spoke with passion and was “in-your-face” with the Pharisees about their “oral law.” These were their additional “rules” which they took upon themselves to add to that which was given by God to guide Israel.

This is very unfortunate, especially considering what we see unfolding not only across the world but here in America. This is a nation that was founded upon biblical principles and laws. Our founding fathers took these very seriously and crafted documents that reflect this. Despite what some “progressives” try to say in order to rewrite history, the facts are facts. History cannot be changed. But as we see from history, when a nation does not honor God, it is not blessed.

All Christians, particularly in America and especially pastors, should then be keenly interested in this and in being proactive by doing everything within their power to see that our nation isn’t tolerating the things God has told us not to tolerate. To call that which is good, good and that which is evil, evil─and not to care what the world thinks at all. That was Jesus’ philosophy.

One of the founding fathers was a minister. All of these brave men laid everything they had; even their very lives on the line in order to do what they did. They were, after all, committing a treasonous act. They were taking action against King George. They were standing in defiance against a tyrannical government. And Christians and ministers stood with them. Churches were a significant force in keeping communities informed of what was happening. Today, this is unheard of. The pulpits have fallen silent, with the exception of a very few.

Instead of teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ (which includes how to be a good citizen, if these teachings are taken seriously and followed), the Baptists are teaching how to be “good Baptists.” Methodists are teaching how to be “good Methodists” and so forth. Instead of understanding and teaching the great blessing and significant role God has played in this nation and therefore, how being a good citizen is also acknowledging what God has done for us, they are actually denigrating this. How? By teaching that Christians are “citizens of heaven” and therefore have no responsibility to their nation, state or community.

Third Temple Temperature

This is one of the key prophecies of the last days that is heating up and intersecting in the near future with the peace talks, the Middle East unrest (Psalm 83 Alliance), Russia’s Ezekiel Alliance, and the Isaiah 17 & 19 prophesies.  It is something we are hearing more and more about and the Jewish people are more and more behind.  All that is needed is a trigger to set events in motion.

God is in control and his prophesied plan is unfolding!  Amen, Amen.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

_________________________________________________________________

Third Temple Temperature

Third Temple fever is rising surrounding the Temple Mount. It is, I believe, the most burning issue of our time, although simmering just beneath the surface of Middle East madness, just out of sight and mind most of the time.

Upon researching and writing for CAULDRON: Supernatural Implications of the Current Middle East–a book we hope to have available by the end of the year or the very first of next year—the Temple again shouldered its way to the top of my thinking.

This is for good reason. The Temple Mount, Mt. Moriah, is the center of the earthly battle in the war Satan has waged against God since being ejected from Heaven with the one-third of the rebel angels that followed him.

Moriah is the spot on the planet where some believe the Garden of Eden was centered. Some hold that the stone under which the Dome of the Rock sits was the place where Adam, then Eve, was created. I don’t necessarily hold to this, but there are serious scholars within Christendom who do. The surface of Mt. Moriah is the place where Isaac was to be offered as sacrifice by his father, Abraham, when God intervened and provided the ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Moriah is the place where the Holy of Holies sat with in the two previous Temples. It is the place where the Ark of the Covenant resided within the Holy of Holies. It is the place where the veil was torn from top to bottom the moment Jesus Christ said, “It is finished,” and gave up His life to death and the grave, to be raised on the third day.

As we have written many times in these commentaries, the signals of this Age of Grace dispensation coming to an end soon are everywhere. It is absolutely mandatory, if that is true, that the most important signal of all be in view at this time. I believe with all that is within me that matters involving the rebuilding of the Temple atop that most centrally important piece of rock must be clearly in view in proving that this generation is near the end of the Church Age.

Some excellent scholars believe and teach that the Tribulation Temple (Third Temple) doesn’t have to be located atop Mt. Moriah. Rather, they believe it will possibly be a synagogue-type structure somewhat north of Jerusalem–Shiloh, to be exact—where the tabernacle stood for 400 years. I respectfully disagree. Satan wants to usurp the throne of God. He cannot do so by taking over the throne of God in Heaven. He has already been banished from that kingdom, except for having the privilege of accusing the brethren.

The devil does want to usurp the earthly throne of God, however, and, in his totally depraved thinking still believes he can do so. That “throne”–which I call God’s touchstone to humanity–is where the Holy of Holies sat, where the Ark of the Covenant resided within Solomon’s Temple. Lucifer the fallen isn’t interested in a second choice for a place to place his “man of sin.” Antichrist must sit right where the Ark, containing God’s Law–the Tablets (Ten Commandments)–rested.

Antichrist will, of course sit in that spot, declaring himself to be God, according to 2 Thessalonians: “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

Satan will apparently indwell this “prince that shall come,” thus achieving–in his own demented mind, at least–the usurpation of God’s earthly throne. This, after all, is the place within the Temple Jesus will one day sit as King of Kings during the Millennial Kingdom.

Now, I know the mountain of Moriah will be split in the middle and the Tribulation Temple will likely be completely destroyed. After all, it is the Third Temple built, I believe, by unbelieving Jews; thus, it doesn’t meet with God’s approval. Mt. Zion, as it will be known, will be supernaturally elevated in the tremendous topographical changes that will take place when Christ’s foot touches the Mt. of Olives when He returns. Christ will, Himself, build the Millennial Temple upon Mt. Zion, where He will reign and rule with a rod of iron for 1000 years.

The thing we are considering here is: Do we see signs of the call to rebuild the Temple? The answer is, of course, “Yes!”

Great tensions are currently building around the Temple Mount. Both the Jewish community, which wants to worship on top of Moriah, and the Arab Islamists, who are determined the Jews will never do so, are revving up their emotional engines. The temperature is rising, and the diplomats of the world realize that it is potentially the one place on Earth that is the greatest trigger point to start nuclear Armageddon.

The following two news excerpts lay out the building fever surrounding the Temple Mount.

Israelis who believe the Temple Mount should remain in Israeli hands must take urgent action, Likud MK Moshe Feiglin warned Thursday. Feiglin, who heads the Jewish Leadership faction of the Likud party, visited the Temple Mount on Thursday despite knowing he would find it locked to Jews, as a display of protest.

In an “unprecedented” move, police on Wednesday informed Jewish groups that the Temple Mount will be closed to all non-Muslims until at least the end of Ramadan, on 11th August. The announcement has provoked renewed anger over anti-Jewish discrimination on the Temple Mount, and sparked calls by activists for a mass-protest on 7th August, at the start of the Hebrew month of Elul. (Maayana Miskin, “Feiglin Declares ‘Time to Flood the Temple Mount,'” Inside Israel, Israel National News)

A Jewish website that aims to teach Israelis about the Temple has been met with an angry backlash from the Arab Muslim community. The Har Hakodesh (lit. “The Holy Mountain”) website includes educational material about the history of the Temple Mount, which was the site of the First Temple and Second Temple. The Temples were the focus of divine service for the Jewish nation. The site also includes stunning photographs of the Temple Mount, including pictures taken by a non-Jewish photographer from parts of the Mount which Jews may not enter.

What has caused upset in the Muslim world is a representation of the Temple Mount as it would appear with a rebuilt Jewish Temple atop it rather than Al-Aqsa Mosque that currently stands there.

The site has been repeatedly targeted by hackers, and has been the focus of criticism in the Arab media. Sheikh Raed Salah, who heads the hardline northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, has called for an “Islamic awakening” in response to the website… The desire to see a rebuilt Temple is central to traditional Judaism, and the Amidah prayer, which religious Jews recite three times daily, calls for the Temple to be rebuilt. (Maayana Miskin, “Muslim Anger over Virtual ‘Third Temple,'” Inside Israel, Israel National News)

Because we are so near the end of the Church Age (Age of Grace), look for the temperatures of both the Jews and the Islamists to continue to rise as end-times events continue to unfold.

The ushering in of the Mahdi, the Twelve Imam

Posted in Antichrist, End Times Prophecy, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on August 12, 2013|

It is pretty chilling to read this in the headlines.  Bible Prophecy is beginning to unfold before our very eyes.

The clerics ruling Iran believe that Khamenei is the one named in a centuries-old hadith who will prepare for the coming of the Islamic last messiah, the Shiites’ 12th Imam, Mahdi. According to the hadith, Israel is to be destroyed before Mahdi’s re-appearance.

Mojtaba Zolnoor, an adviser to Ayatollah Khamenei in the Revolutionary Guards, has stated publicly that a number of the Ulama (Islamic scholars) and authoritative grand ayatollahs have announced that Khamenei is quite possibly the fabled “Seyed Khorasani.” According to the Islamic hadith, Khorasani is an individual from the region who is not only a companion of the Mahdi, but also is responsible for setting the stage for Mahdi’s re-emergence.

Also, according to close associates of Khamenei, the supreme leader has acknowledged his role in history by telling a confidant (Mohammad Reyshahri) that Khomeini told him personally, “Dear Seyed Ali, it will be during the time of your leadership that the last Shiite Imam, Imam Mahdi, will re-appear.”

The beginning of the article lays out very much (almost word for word) the fulfillment of Psalms 83, which the Islamists feel must take place before the twelfth Imam can appear.

The ayatollah promises a restructuring of the Middle East: “Palestine will be free, have no doubt in this. … Palestinians will return there and there will be a Palestinian government … and that is based on the truth revealed by God. A new Middle East will be … an Islamic Middle East.”

Khamenei attacks Israel for defending itself: “They attacked Lebanon – a mistake. They attacked Gaza – a mistake. They attacked those (Turkish) ships – a mistake. These mistakes, one after another, show that the murderous Zionist regime of Israel is reaching the final fall and destruction of its own non-existence.”

In promising the annihilation of Israel, the supreme leader also says, “There is no doubt that victory awaits the Palestinian people in the future, and the myth of Zionist power over this region will completely vanish, Allah willing.”

It sounds an awful lot like Psalm 83 below, which Iran is working diligently through their proxies to bring about:

Psalm 83

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

God Implored to Confound His Enemies.

83 O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
2 For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,
And those who hate You have exalted themselves.
3 They make shrewd plans against Your people,
And conspire together against Your treasured ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 For they have conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.

We are seeing the signs that our Lord promised us we would see to know that the end was near.   We are not to be fearful or surprised that these events come to pass.  It is a joyful moment filled with anticipation for Christians.  For non-believers it is another story, and my heart is heavy for them.

Great case is made by JD of just how close we are to seeing our Lord and Savior in the clouds.

I think he used the expression – “a nats eyebrow”.

He also gives a good overview of the importance of the Jewish Feasts and their prophetic importance.

We are also seeing the Blood Moon alignments over the next year, we are seeing multiple events and they have all occurred with major events for Israel and their high holy days.  Amazing!  The Lord is amazing, he does not want us to be ignorant or surprised by what is coming.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Christian Persecution

Egypt’s coup puts fearful Christians in a corner
It was nighttime and 10,000 Islamists were marching down the most heavily Christian street in this ancient Egyptian city, chanting “Islamic, Islamic, despite the Christians.” A half-dozen kids were spray-painting “Boycott the Christians” on walls, supervised by an adult.  

Surprise! IRS assault on churches started with Holder
The seeds of the IRS targeting of conservative groups were planted by Eric Holder in 2001 when as deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton he convinced incoming Attorney General John Ashcroft to seize the building of a conservative megachurch, says the church’s retired pastor.  

Shameful: Even Putin calls to end Christian persecution, as Obama is ‘silent’
..you know “it’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world” when Russian president Vladimir Putin becomes the leading voice for stopping the violent persecutions against Christians while the president of the United States stands silent.  

One World Government / Oligarchy / Police State

Congress Gets Their Obamacare Exemption
When Congress passed the health reform law known as Obamacare in 2010, an amendment required that lawmakers and their staff members purchase health insurance through the online exchanges that the law created. They would lose generous coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

The Truth Trifecta… Must See!!!

Posted in Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on July 22, 2013|

…or should I say the Deception Trifecta… it can’t be spelled out any clearer than what Bill Whittle lays out in the following three videos.

We must open our eyes and admit to ourselves how far out of hand we have let our media get!  It is INSANE!

The deception is so blatant and so many are deceived just like Christ and Paul warned us about during the last days.

It is gotten to the point of night being day and day being night.

We crucify the good decent law-abiding guy and put up on a pedestal the thug.

Have you see what George Zimmerman did today? – UPDATE: FAMILY OF FOUR – George Zimmerman REAPPEARS to rescue family from overturned SUV

It just turns my stomach how backwards we have it as a society.  And I am tired of hearing the well it’s not the ordinary man/women that has it backwards it’s the media and our government.  Folks it is our society, if it is messed up, we are to blame.  We let them get out of control because we are too distracted with our video games, reality shows, or our kids soccer games.

What bothers me the most is how so many people are falling for it and lack the discernment to see it.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

IRAN: SYRIAN CRISIS PRELUDE TO COMING OF MAHDI…

Posted in Antichrist, End Times Prophecy, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , , , , on June 28, 2013|

Iran: Syrian crisis prelude to coming of Mahdi

‘One can smell … the end of times and the last Islamic messiah’

Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/06/iran-syrian-crisis-prelude-to-coming-of-mahdi/#VgcdOsaMhTedDFJh.99

A high Iranian politician believes the Syrian revolution could be the catalyst for sparking a worldwide conflagration that will usher in an era of Muslim domination of the world.

“One can smell from the crisis in Syria the coming … of the end of times and the coming of the last Islamic messiah,” said Ruhollah Hosseinian, a member of the Islamic regime’s parliament. Previously he was deputy of the Intelligence Ministry and a member of board of trustees of Islamic Revolution Document Center.

Shiites, whose clerics rule Iran with an iron fist, believe that at the end of times, the 12th Imam, Mahdi, a 9th century prophet, will reappear with Jesus Christ at his side, kill all the infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all four corners of the world. Many analysts believe Iran is seeking nuclear capability to bring on that Armageddon.

Based on hadiths by Muhammad and his descendants, the Syrian revolution is a start to the coming of Mahdi, Hosseinian said in a speech quoted Thursday by Fars News Agency, a media outlet run by the Revolutionary Guards.

“Imam Sadegh (the Shiites’ 4th Imam) has stated, when the masters of the yellow flag (Lebanese Hezbollah) engage in a conflict with anti-Shiite elements in Damascus and Iranian forces join them, this is a sign and a prelude to the coming of his highness (Mahdi),” (more…)

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah…

Posted in Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 28, 2013|

— Matthew 24:37

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post.  Not for myself or my brother’s and sisters in Christ but for all those so deceived and deluded in this fallen world.  Any one that is awake and not in a coma over the last 48 hours should have a very hard time denying the fact we are living in the last days, the days of Noah.

Washington has been hit with scandal after scandal the size of Watergate (what are we on now 5 or 6) and yet no one seems to care and they grow bolder and stronger.

“Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.  Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. — Matthew 24:11-12

They call us flat-earthers because we believe the facts put before us and are not deluded by their lies.  There is no man-made global warming or cooling.  How arrogant and prideful are we (man) that we think we have more impact on God’s creation that God Himself?  Has everyone forgotten the big ball of gas that we are rotating around that constantly heats our little planet so we are not a ball of ice like Pluto?

Then there is the court ruling against marriage.  Marriage the oldest institution on earth.  I even heard the quote “We overturned God!” from one of the protestors.  Should there be any doubt what this is all about?  It is not about freedoms or rights.  It is about man shaking his fists at God and saying you are not my Master.  How sad do they really know what they are saying and what shortly awaits them based on the choice they have made?

There is a group of articles below I pulled off of Drudge.  We have accelerated down the slipper slope, the appointed time is near.  Israel is a nation again, the world is aligning against her, and we are at the end of the generation that saw her reform.  We better have our “house” in order.  Who is your Lord and Master?

Bill Whittle had a great rebuttal for how the marriage debacle should have been handled according to our founding, check it out below as well.

Tyranny…

Posted in Christian Persecution, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , on June 18, 2013|

Jan lays out quite a case below for where we find ourselves.

We are transforming into an oligarchy.  If you haven’t read 1984 recently, you may want to revisit it…

Indeed, the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked(Jeremiah 17:9). Doesn’t that take on new meaning to Americans? And the fact is that the predicted evil is waxing worse and worse (II Timothy 3). Another day, another offense and outrage.
Our hope is in the Lord!

The End-Game Has Begun

By Jan Markell

www.olivetreeviews.org

A secular talk show host I enjoy opened his program yesterday saying, “The end-game has begun.” Even the unbelieving world knows things are coming apart. Even non-Christians know that serial lying, scheming, and back door deals are not right. Men and women acting with seared consciences — blatantly mocking truth-telling — is the norm with some today. And it troubles some of us that many Americans hate God, America and Christians in that order. In fact, they are obsessed with blotting out all three. Millions of people of all denominations or no denomination do not want a secular-humanist socialist utopia in America.

Another secular talk show host who is most often an optimist said this week that he fears America will not last until the next election. At least, will not last in the form it has been in for a couple of centuries.

Here’s a quick review that lets you know we’re in an Alice-in-Wonderland world. Sadly, you haven’t fallen down any hole; rather, everyday events are just bizarre thanks to the hastening of an end-time clock.

We have seen political bullying and in-your-face appointments that are going to further tear America down. The recent appointment of Samantha Power as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. is stunning. She once advocated the hostile invasion of Israel by the U.S.! Talk about wicked foreign policy. It’s not popular policy with God either and that is the real tragedy!

Deception and Perception

Posted in Antichrist, Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, One World Government, Rapture, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 18, 2013|

Wow, isn’t it just amazing how when you hear truth spoken that something inside you just jumps and kicks?  I believe that is the Holy Spirit.  But some people can look at the same words and feel nothing.  Patrick dives into that in his article below: Deception and Perception.

They want to believe and live the deception because the ramifications of true reality are too terrifying to contemplate.  Thus, the pleasant lie is chosen over the unpleasant truth.

Truer words have not been spoken.  I see and feel this everyday, as I am sure you do as well, when we try to wake people up or even broach the subject of the last days.

Bold truth being proclaimed always does have a sting, especially to those that deep down know it is true.

What we are seeing today is evil.  It is enveloping this world as I have never imagined it could.  You can not escape it.

This is not God’s choice.  It is the result of the choices of our nation.

What’s coming is not God’s desire that it should happen, it’s the natural consequence of a nation and world that’s rejected God in favor of rebellion against Him.  Sin always destroys. You cannot choose it without also choosing the resultant misery and judgment that comes with it.  Interesting that one of Satan’s names is the Greek word: Apollyon, which means “Destroyer.”

We need not hide our heads and deny what is happening. But Take Heart, do not be afraid.

We are temporary residents of this country only. Our eternal citizenship is in the kingdom of the Everlasting God.  All else will pass away.

So how shall we live then, in these uncertain times of evil?

Be sure to read Patrick’s full article below, it is extremely good and enlightening.  It will give you much to ponder.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Deception and Perception

By Patrick Wyett

When you woke up today, how did you see the world around you?

“Yeah,” you might say, “I know that things are getting bad.”

Do you? How bad are things getting?

Or better yet, how bad are things already?

The basic premise of the movie, “The Matrix” is that people are living in a completely fabricated lie, which most are unaware of.  Said deluded people are so programmed and comfortable with the lie that they can’t and won’t conceive of any other possibility. They want to believe and live the deception because the ramifications of true reality are too terrifying to contemplate.  Thus, the pleasant lie is chosen over the unpleasant truth.

At the time “The Matrix” came out, there were those who got it and enjoyed the movie and those who didn’t get it and thought the whole thing was confusing and pointless. Back then I had thought the movie served as a measure one’s intelligence; I was wrong. The movie served as a gauge of the viewer’s discernment, and concurrently, the level of their indoctrination.

One’s perception doesn’t alter reality, only the view of it.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4).

We live with a startling paradox. The word “politician” immediately brings to mind the vices of greed, corruption and lying to many. This doesn’t apply to all politicians, just most of them. Yet we want to believe that despite differences in rhetoric, party affiliation and proclaimed ideologies, that our elected officials─those same greedy, corrupt liars just identified─somehow want to do what’s best for our country.

Not of the world…

Posted in Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, Salvation, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2013|

The biggest problem in our life is how busy we have become.  I think a better word for it is “distracted”.  We are so “distracted” as a society that we literally have to carve out “minutes” for different required activities.

Have you ever “scheduled” or blocked time on your calendar for Lunch?  How about to read emails, call your spouse, your mom or dad?  How about being double booked or triple booked?  what does your time after work look like?  Kids activities?  Sports teams or events?  Hobbies?  Exercise & Fitness?  How many time-management books or video’s have you read or seen?  How about reading God’s word?  Not so much?  How about a devotional?  Maybe, the “one minute” devotions for active Christians?

What does it really mean to be “Not of this world” or to “not conform to this world:?  If you made two lists and on one side you placed all the things you do to advance your career, relationships, image, entertainment, finances or status in this world on one side and everything you do to grow you relationship with God and advance His kingdom on the other, what would it look like?  (Now jot the time spent on each next to each.)

With that sort of balance, which world do you think you “belong” to most?

We know we give our time to what we “value” most.  Where are you giving your time based on that list?  If your list is very lopsided to this world in both activities and time, you are definitely not alone.  If you step back and look around you will see that very few have stepped out of this-worldly race to occupy their time with things not of this world. This may be why when you look at the church these days, it doesn’t look much different from the secular world.  Unbelievers see that too and cry hypocrisy.

It takes a lot of work to unplug and separate from the chaos.  But it is so worth it.  The peace and fulfillment are at a whole new level.  Joy will return to your life slowly but surely.  You will need to guard it every day, it is a constant battle against Satan himself to “distract” us from God and His purpose for our lives.  We will get knocked off course, but we have to get back up and on course.

We desperately need to do this.  We need to slow down, quiet our lives, and be still.  Read God’s word, not a verse or two but chapters.  We need to ponder it, muse, pray for discernment and understanding.  God promises if you seek you will find and understand His purpose for you.  This is a daily activity.  Take up your cross daily!

We are called to “Be Still and know that I am God.”  We need to slow down, as this world is speeding up.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Christian Persecution – Days of Noah…

Posted in Christian Persecution, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2013|

Below are two articles that really hit at the root of what we are seeing done to our once great nation.

The current administration is gutting it and we are turning into a modern-day version of Rome.  Where the “republic” was for show only, the citizens were too “distracted” with daily pleasure, and an emperor or elite oligarchy ruled the land.

We really are seeing a combination of 1984 and Atlas Shrugged play out in real life.  If you haven’t had a chance to read those recently, you might consider it. (If you don’t feel like tackling the 1000+ pages of Atlas, the two recently released movies are excellent summaries.)

One of the biggest excuses I get from people when I talk about us loosing our freedoms, is that our military would never turn on our citizens, there are too many God-fearing members in positions of authority and with strong moral compasses.

Well the below two articles show exactly how that is changing.  They are driving the religious and moral members out.  With the repeal of don’t ask, don’t tell and the persecution of Christianity, what type of military will we have in 2-3 years?  Notice the openness of the activity that is driving the persecution and the penalty.  It is insane and goes against everything we were founded on.  A man should never have to give up his faith to serve his country.

You pair this with previous articles on how the Gangs are infiltrating our military ranks, how male on male attacks have increased and are making up the majority of the sexual harassment complaints, and the extreme growth of the TSA/Homeland Security through contractors, we have two extreme cases for how our own military could turn on segments of our citizens.

It is sickening to even think of it.  We must get support for these honorable men and women that are volunteering and sacrificing to protect us and the freedoms we still enjoy.

God Bless our brothers and sisters in the military and stand strong for your beliefs.  Remember, we are not of this world, but our home is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the next.

Maranatha, Lord Come quickly!

Strong Delusion – prophecy fulfilled…

Posted in Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, One World Religion, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on June 15, 2013|

With all the insanity breaking loose these days, the news story below can not make it any clearer as to how upside down our world has become!

As more stories come to light we seem to be able to wiretap and survey anyone and everyone in the US but evidently, not if you’re in a mosque!?!?

How stupid can we be?

Actually, this is not stupidity, it is prophecy, and it is intentional.

What religion has been responsible for 90% of the terrorist attacks in the world?  Christians? Buddhists?, Hindus? Atheists?

No, Islam.  Radical Islam.  And yet our government goes after Christian groups asking what they pray about but won’t survey Islamic religious institutions.

God has given our nation, and the world, the strong delusion.

Evil is good and good evil…

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Since October 2011, says that report, surveillance or undercover sting operations in mosques have been prohibited without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the “Sensitive Operations Review Committee.” The panel was reportedly set up because of complaints from Muslim groups about sting operations conducted by the FBI, which were very effective in disrupting dozens of Islamic terror plots against the homeland—and just months after the ACLU and the Council on American-Islamic Relations sued the FBI, asserting that infiltration and monitoring of Los Angeles mosques violated the civil rights of Muslims in that area.

Days of Noah…

Posted in Christian Persecution, Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 30, 2013|

John McTernan did a great job summarizing what we are seeing to prove we are living in the Days of Noah.

No other time in history have we been more like the days of Noah and days of Lot.  Only during the days of Noah were same-sex marriages legal.  Not during the days of lot or even during the days of the fall of Rome. 

We are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled.  God is trying to wake us up and have us turn back to Him.  All of the natural catastrophes can be tied directly back to this falling away and our treatment of Israel.

We need to wake up and step back and look at what we have become as a society!  In the lie of tolerance, we are calling Sin good and normal, and good, evil.

Our society is so upside down.

Modesty is bad.  Morality is bad.  Following the ten commandments is bad, outdated.  Self-control is bad. 

I feel we have passed a point of no return as a nation/world.  The hour is late and God’s judgement on this world is coming.  We have been warned and He will continue to warn us up until the end. 

That being said, it is not to late for individuals to turn back to God.  Faith is personal, it is not religion, it is a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.  We must turn back and accept the gift of salvation God is stretching out to us.  Begin our walk with Him, allow the Holy Spirit to come into your heart.  He will comfort you and guide you if you will listen.

We all need to tune into the Holy Spirit during these last days.  He will guide us and show us the lost souls that have not had their hearts hardened and need help into the life boats, only He knows a man’s heart and can guide us.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Dept of Justice forces employees to affirm ‘gay’ agenda

May 25, 2013

                        Verse of the Day

Philippians 3:20,21 For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Commentary

The LOGO from Dept of Justice

The LOGO from Dept of Justice

 DOJ forces employees to affirm ‘gay’ agenda 05/25/13 Now the real Hard Left is starting to show. They are really reprobates as defined by the Bible. They are now in positions in power and are moving to destroy all opposition. They will not tolerate anyone who opposes them. Think of the entire Dept of Justice and other law enforcement agencies with everyone in lockstep with them or cowarded by them. See: L G B T Inclusion at work the DOJ brochure on promoting sodomy in the workplace.

As Americans turn away from God, people like Obama and Holder have to come to power because they represent America. It is very difficult to watch this process as it is unfolding. America is being turned over to reprobates for judgment.

A DOJ Pride brochure specifies, “DOJ Pride works to make the Department [of Justice] a model employer of LGBT individuals.”

“The DOJ’s distribution to managers of the DOJ Pride document implies that those who fail to actively support LGBT lifestyles are in violation of DOJ employment policy, perhaps to the point of losing their jobs or promotion opportunities.The DOJ Pride document makes no mention of God or of the possibility that DOJ managers or employees might have a personal objection to LGBT lifestyles that that is protected by the First Amendment rights to freedom of religion and expression.”

The dream of homosexuals and the Hard Left

The dream of homosexuals and the Hard Left

Romans 1:24, 25 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26, 27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

The rise of the homosexual agenda is proof from the Bible that God has turned away from America and given the nation over to judgment. Obama and Holder and their homosexual agenda are proof of this judgment.

Hard Left Watch

Military suffers wave of ‘gay’ sex assaults 05/21/13 This is so predictable as putting homosexuals in close quarters with real men will inflame their lust. They need to be separated from normal men. The Hard Left reprobates would rather destroy the military then admit that homosexuals need to be separated from real men.

Judge Napolitano: Naming Fox’s Rosen a Possible Criminal Is ‘Chilling’ 05/20/13 This also is predictable. Obama is a hybrid Fascists. The very first thing the Fascist did, or Communists for that matter, was to control the media. They must do that as part of destroying anyone who could expose their evil actions. think what Obama would do if he controlled the military like he did with the IRS! Obama and the Hard Left would think nothing of anyone who might hinder their agenda. These people are beyond dangerous.
For Minnesota gay marriage sponsors, it’s personal 05/14/13 God is manifesting the reprobate minds at all levels.Conservatives Decry ‘Gay’ Boy Scouts’ Vote, Look to Create New Group Based on Traditional Morals 05/24/13 There is no power left in any institution in America. The Boy Scouts are under the control of powerless people who succumbed to the spirit of antichrist as it gains power America.

GLAAD Pushes Boy Scouts to Now Lift Ban on Openly Gay Leaders, Volunteers 05/25/13 This is their goal. Look what happened to the Catholic Church when the homosexuals had a free reign. The Boy Scouts as we knew it is now dead. America is dying right before our eyes.

DOJ Begged Judge to Keep Fox Reporter in Dark About Monitoring 05/24/13 Notice how these cowards are afraid of their unlawful acts being brought out into the open! They are really criminals but the problem is they are in charge of the nation. In a real sense these are Chicago “gangsters” running America.

Gallup Poll: Majority Now Say Gay Sex, Unwed Births, Are Morally OK 05/21/13 This shows the moral collapse of America and look how fast it came! Look at the change in the last 10 years. God is turning the nation over to a reprobate mind. There is no soundness in the nation, and that is why evil is now in charge.

“In the new survey, 59 percent of American adults answered that gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable, a 19 percentage point increase since 2001 when only 40 percent said it was morally acceptable. Sixty percent of respondents said that having a baby outside of marriage was morally acceptable, a 15 percentage point increase since 2002 when only 45 percent said it was morally acceptable.”

Gay marriage could stop Christians becoming teachers or doctors – church leaders 05/19/13 This is the goal of the reprobate to exalt homosexuality and crush all who oppose it. This is coming to America unless God sends a revival of His Holy Spirit.

Liberals Unmasked

After reading JB’s article, I can’t but help to think back to last years Democrat Convention, where they voted three times to exclude God from their agenda.

Liberals Unmasked

Romans 1:18 – 32

Preached by:  JB Hall

 

Introduction:  Today, politics deeply divides Americans; and with the media having become the propaganda arm of the government, helping shape the political landscape, the debate over liberal vs. conservative views is at fever pitch.

While modern day liberals always try to paint conservatives in a negative, fanatic, dangerous light, and while many “so-called” conservatives bring disgrace to the title, the difference between true liberals and true conservatives is found in their differing views of God.

The word liberal is a good word…a Biblical word.

Proverbs 11:25a says, “The liberal soul shall be made fat…”

     James 1:5 says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

Sadly though, the word liberal like so many other words such as gay, choice, freedom, etc., has been hi-jacked by God-rejecters and used to put a pleasant, acceptable face on the evil they promote.

All of the Positive Thinking In the World Can’t Stop A Train Wreck

Posted in Church Falling Away, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , on May 4, 2013|

Something to ponder as we go about our day.

Are we stuck in Christian cliché mode or do we really listen and open our hearts to our brothers and sisters in Christ and ponder God’s Word?

All of the Positive Thinking In the World Can’t Stop A Train Wreck

By Sandee Lloyd

Isn’t it ironic that Christians have so cultivated their capacity for denial, that it has been deemed a sin to ever be discouraged, and those who refuse to go along with that ruse, choosing instead to face the truth, find themselves outcast from a modern Christian sphere devoid of any brand of exhortation other than trite words.  Jesus can comfort because He suffered.  He submitted to pain.  He walked through the valley of the shadow of death.  When all is said and done, where else can we go but to the Lord? Man of sorrows and of grief, despised and rejected of mankind, and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

People do not like to even look upon grief and sorrow.  Rather than wade in, hoping to help the drowning one out, they run from the scene.  They don’t want to be reminded that sorrow exists.  They will do anything to short-circuit, circumvent, and avoid the pain process.  No wonder people today can’t feel anything.  You feel both joy and sadness with the same “feeler”.  When you deaden your “feeler” you have no capacity for real pleasure either.

There is a lie perpetrated by professing Christians, that I (and others) am sick only because I don’t have enough faith to be healed.  The most frequent “advice” I get when people find out that I live with chronic illness, is: ” you really should read such and such book ” OR, “You need to get such and such supplement” or “you just need to rebuke that away”.  If you go around saying those things, it is you that I rebuke, for you are afflicted with the same lunacy that plagues our President right now, who believes his decree on any matter makes a thing so.  (“Unemployment is getting better and our economy is recovering”) That is delusion.

Contrast that mentality with what Jesus said: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world  “And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.” (He is speaking of a future joy here, not one that can be attained in Earthly life).  “Be of good cheer” means, “take heart, have courage”.  Face the bad knowing a better day is promised.  There is no promise that better day will be tomorrow, or even this year.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”

So for all of those who would say “you need more faith”, or you need to read this “Christian Bestseller” or take this supplement, let me recommend a book to you: The Holy Bible.  Only, please stop skipping over the unpleasant parts. Stop adding to it and taking away from it.  If you, as a “Christian” are rejoicing in this present world, you are probably in league with this world.  My rejoicing right now is in knowing a “better city” awaits me, wherein is my true citizenship.

Cafeteria Christians

Posted in Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 4, 2013|

Amen!

_________________________________________________________________

Cafeteria Christians

by Lea Sylvester

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great [hidden] things which thou knowest not” (Jeremiah 33:3).

“Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, we will not hearken” (Jeremiah 6:16-17).

Surely we are living in the last days. This statement has been made for many years. As the prophets prophesied of events relative to the end-times (last days), and as Jesus Christ taught, those who are spiritually awake are aware that indeed, we are living in the last days. We know this because of the many prophecies and because of the words of Jesus Christ Himself. We are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled.

Jesus commanded us to “watch” numerous times. Why are we to watch and what are we to watch for? He wanted His church to be ready, to not be caught unaware, sleeping. Sad is the fact that most Christians are asleep today. They are lulled peacefully to sleep by the world. They will be caught unaware.

The question is, what should they be doing instead of sleeping? They should be developing such a close relationship with God that nothing could keep them from obeying Him or from hearing His voice. God is holy and God is sovereign. We don’t hear those words used that often any longer in reference to God. Sad.

“Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding: which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. Fear ye not me? Saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; thou they roar, yet can they not pass over it? But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone” (Jeremiah 5:21-24).

The passage of Scripture quoted above from Jeremiah describes most Christians today. We can also see that the condition of the churches and professing Christians further described:

“Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee. But thou shalt say unto them, this is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction [instruction]: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth” (Jeremiah 7:26-28).

Doesn’t the passage above seem to describe most professing Christians in the United States of America today?

Yet we hear so many saying that this is a: “Christian nation.”  How can this be a Christian nation?  Christians have been apathetic, disobedient to the commandments of God, and have allowed God to be kicked out of this nation. Now eleven states have “approved” homosexual marriage! And, the president approves of it!

May I state here emphatically that God doesn’t care WHO “approves”of it! God disapproves of it.

Our children are being taught “alternative lifestyles”: “Sex education” (beginning in kindergarten), and it has even been suggested that our children are not ours or even  (the parent’s) responsibility, but the state’s responsibility! And how many babies do we murder every day?  This is not even everything! Oh, come quickly Lord Jesus!

How can we possibly believe God that will not place judgment upon this nation?  If God punished His chosen people, Israel, don’t think for one second that He won’t punish the United States of America.

This nation was founded by: Godly people. People who were persecuted for their faith in Great Britain and who risked everything (and some lost everything including their families, children and their l (more…)

Chill Out, Mikey!

By Donna Wasson

Every day, when I think I’ve seen and heard it all, I come across a story that blows my mind. That’s not good, because I don’t have much brain matter left unscathed. Today, a wonderful reader sent me a report from Brietbard.com about one of the Pentagon’s new consultants, hired to help develop new policies on religious tolerance in the military.

 

This consultant’s name is Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).  He recently wrote a column for the Huffington Post in which he reveals his opinion of Christianity in general.

 

“Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces.”  Gee Mikey, why don’t you tell us how you really feel!

 

He whole heartedly endorses the Southern Poverty Law Center, who recently published a list of ‘hate groups’ which, along with groups like the KKK, included several Christian and Tea Party organizations due to their anti-gay marriage stance, and support for limited government.

 

He also salivates over Lt. Col. Jack Rich, who instructed subordinate officers that soldiers who hold traditional Christian beliefs, are incompatible with Army values, and should be carefully watched and excluded from military service.  Mr. Winey-stein stated the following:

 

“We should as a nation effusively applaud Lt. Col. Rich.  We MUST vigorously support the continuing efforts to expose pathologically anti-gay, Islamaphobic, and rabidly intolerant agitators for what they are: die-hard enemies of the United States Constitution. Monsters, one and all.  To do anything less would be to roll out a red carpet to those who would usher in a blood-drenched, draconian era of persecutions, nationalistic militarism and superstitious theocracy.”

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!  Oh…oh…hahaha!  Sorry, I can’t help it!  HAHAHA!  The psychotic projection this guy is spewing is just amazing!  HAHAHA!!!  *sniff-sniff*  Ahhhh…ahhh…Uh-hmm. Well now.  I think he has us confused with a different group of people.

 

Sally Quinn, writer for the Washington Post, agrees with MRFF board member, Larry Wilkerson’s statement “Sexual assault and proselytizing are absolutely destructive of the bonds that keep soldiers together.  This is a national security threat. What is happening is spiritual rape.  And what the Pentagon needs is to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished.”   This group wants the military to institute a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops!

Wait, wait, wait…OK, let me get this straight.  These people at the ‘Military Religious Freedom Foundation’ think that sharing the gospel with someone is akin to RAPE, and is a ‘national security threat’ and ‘treason??’  How, pray tell, do they justify in their tiny little minds, that ‘religious freedom’ should include threatening chaplains with court-martial?  Are they not familiar with the definition of ‘freedom?’  Webster’s states freedom is the “ability or capacity to act without undue hindrance or restraint.”

 

Perhaps they should rename their institute the “Military Religious Freedom for Every Religion Except Christianity Foundation.”  Or, how about the “Psychotically Defective Anti-Christian League.”  Or, they could call it the “Rabid Anger at God Society.” Any of those would more accurately describe this group of ingrates.  “Religious Freedom,” my tookus!

 

The fact the Pentagon plans to seriously consider ANYTHING these people have to say is an alarming reflection of this administration. Where does such vitriolic, (more…)

Christian Persecution – Sharing the Gospel is Treason?

Posted in Christian Persecution, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 1, 2013|

More calling good evil and evil good.  Look what our own government is now doing.  Or I should say our current administration.

The irony is that this country was founded by men trying to escape religious persecution, specifically the Christian faith.  And now those that are defending that freedom are denied it?

The line that really got me was:

(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians–including chaplains–sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”)

How upside down is that?

If you do not see that the above statement is calling good evil and evil good, then you are blind or your heart is so hardened that you are truly lost.

2 Corinthians 4:1-6

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Paul’s Apostolic Ministry

4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, 2 but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

We are living in the end times?  Isaiah prophesied about this.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil – Isaiah 5:20

Pentagon May Court Martial Soldiers Who Share Christian Faith

by Ken Klukowski 1 May 2013, 8:12 AM PDT

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: “Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis…”.

The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.

(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians–including chaplains–sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”)

Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.

So President Barack Obama’s civilian appointees who lead the Pentagon are confirming that the military will make it a crime–possibly resulting in imprisonment–for those in uniform to share their faith. This would include chaplains—military officers who are ordained clergymen of their faith (mostly Christian pastors or priests, or Jewish rabbis)–whose duty since the founding of the U.S. military under George Washington is to teach their faith and minister to the spiritual needs of troops who come to them for counsel, instruction, or comfort.

This regulation would severely limit expressions of faith in the military, even on a one-to-one basis between close friends. It could also effectively abolish the position of chaplain in the military, as it would not allow chaplains (or any service members, for that matter), to say anything about their faith that others say led them to think they were being encouraged to make faith part of their life. It’s difficult to imagine how a member of the clergy could give spiritual counseling without saying anything that might be perceived in that fashion.

In response to the Pentagon’s plans, retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, who is now executive vice president of the Family Research Council (FRC), said on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning:

It’s a matter of what do they mean by “proselytizing.” …I think they’ve got their defintions a little confused. If you’re talking about coercion that’s one thing, but if you’re talking about the free exercise of our faith as individual soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, especially for the chaplains, they I think the worst thing we can do is stop the ability for a soldier to be able to exercise his faith.”

FRC has launched a petition here which has already collected over 30,000 signatures, calling on Secretary Hagel is stop working with Weinstein and his anti-Christian organization to develop military policy regarding religious faith.

**UPDATE**

The FRC petition has now exceeded more than 40,000 signatures at the time of this update.

Breitbart News legal columnist Ken Klukowski is senior fellow for religious liberty with the Family Research Council and on faculty at Liberty University School of Law.

Below is a string of headlines from just today.  We are living in the days of Noah.  Our society has become evil.  We call evil good and good evil.

Those that say it is not right to murder a baby are called evil and intolerant.

And yet those that help perform these services are considered good and our president asks God to bless them.

We are told that we are intolerant for calling sin, sin and yet those that embrace sin are considered mainstream?

In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile.  He writes:

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5

What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law.  But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.  It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us.

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9

Deception…part deux

Posted in Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 28, 2013|

Here are three different topics that layout the level of deception we are seeing in our society today.

It is insane how bold and blatant it has become.  They do not even try to hide it anymore.

Unfortunately, most of this world is so fast a sleep or already under the spell of strong delusions that those trying to get the truth out are considered the radicals.

Heck, the Evangelical Christians are ahead of Al-Qaeda on the terror threat list for our military.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

“Institution of marriage should not exist” – Gay activist admits ‘we lie’ that marriage won’t change

It’s not often you hear the truth from people who lie about their agendas, but here’s an instance in which gay activist, Masha Gessen, admits “we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change” and further says she doesn’t believe it should exist at all

<Note: There is a audio recording of the text below.  Follow the link in the title to the original post on TheRightScoop.com.>

“It’s a no-brainer that (homosexual activists) should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist. …(F)ighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there — because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie.

The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change. And again, I don’t think it should exist. And I don’t like taking part in creating fictions about my life. That’s sort of not what I had in mind when I came out thirty years ago.

I have three kids who have five parents, more or less, and I don’t see why they shouldn’t have five parents legally… I met my new partner, and she had just had a baby, and that baby’s biological father is my brother, and my daughter’s biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the five parents break down into two groups of three… And really, I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality, and I don’t think that’s compatible with the institution of marriage.”

It’s not about tolerance or acceptance, nor has it ever been. “We just want to get married too…” has always been a lie and it’s unfortunate that people on our side like Bill O’Reilly find it to be such a compelling argument. But this is just a smaller piece to a greater goal of tearing down the pillars of western civilization through cultural Marxism.

Many of you have seen this video but it is worth watching again as Bill Whittle explains the history and the goals of cultural Marxism:

Apostasy – Sound Doctrine – Why not preached?

Posted in Aloha Sermon's & Prophecy updates, Church Falling Away, Days of Noah, Deception, End Times Prophecy, Rapture, Salvation, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 26, 2013|

The Lord has been putting on my heart a few things.  I have been working hard to tie them together and I think JD just helped me greatly.  The three things he has put on my heart through studying His word over the last week are:

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first – 2 Thes. 2:3

Then you will discern the fear of the Lord and discover the knowledge of God. – Proverbs 2:5

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil – Isaiah 5:20

The Lord is amazing.  He says: “If you seek her (wisdom) as silver and search for her (wisdom) as for hidden treasures” (context mine)- (Proverbs 2:4)  Then you will discern the fear of the Lord.  We have to seek, meaning reading God’s word directly, and when we do, it is amazing what He reveals and how He reveals it.

2Peter below is one of the keys that JD laid out.  It is the passage on what we can expect and why.  The scoffers of Christs return are many and the intensity he mentions is so true, you can feel it.  If you even mention: prophecy, rapture, Christ, Gospel, Christs Return, or Judgement.  You will feel the intensity of the push back.  They do not want to hear sound doctrine (2 Timothy 4:3).

2 Peter 3:3-12

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Coming Day of the Lord

3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5 For [a]when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

A New Heaven and Earth

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and [b]its works will be [c]burned up.

11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

Footnotes:

  1. 2 Peter 3:5 Or they are willfully ignorant of this fact, that
  2. 2 Peter 3:10 Lit the works in it
  3. 2 Peter 3:10 Two early mss read discovered

I implore you to watch the full video, it is an amazing update on what we are seeing and why.

How far have we come?  We are mocked if we even bring it up.  We are called the evil ones, met with scorn.

We are at the hour.  Why?

The world is busy fulfilling their own evil desires, believing everything goes on as it has since creation.

Judgement is coming!  We must turn back to God.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Psalms 83: The last piece of the puzzle slides into place…

Posted in Deception, End Times Prophecy, Psalm 83 War, tagged , , , , , , , , on April 26, 2013|

The last player in the Psalms 83 prophecy is now coming into focus.  Syria has been in the slow process of falling without direct support from the Muslim Brotherhood, but not that its end looms near.  The Brotherhood is moving in, much like in Egypt to seise control and encircle its end goal – Israel.  To wipe the jewish nation off the map, and off the face of the earth.

They may roll in slowly, but they will surely assume control and join the looming attack on Israel that God fortold through the prophets.  We know how it ends!

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

By Roula Khalaf and Abigail Fielding-Smith in Istanbul

The Muslim Brotherhood is set to open offices inside Syria for the first time since the organisation was crushed there decades ago, in an apparent effort to capitalise on the increasingly Islamised rebellion.
