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.
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.

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.

That is so un politically correct isn’t it. It is mocked by this world. They laugh and jeer and anyone mentioning it. I have felt it, and I am sure you have as well. But it use to be something Christians would hear every week and discuss daily.
But if you are truly saved, shouldn’t this be a good thing. You have been promised to be saved from judgement. Judgement is the time at which God will make all things right and the judgement that we were not supposed to assess will be assessed by the only perfect being Jesus Christ and His Father. We are forgiven of all our sins, through our faith and believe in Jesus Christ. Not just our sins today but all past, present and future. That is good news, the best news and not something to dread.
It is only scary if we are not sure about where we will spend eternity. That is not something we think much about in our current society is it.
I am guilty of this as well. We spend most of our time debating what we should buy next or if we are getting a good deal. We spend our time telling others about our “fun” lives in person but now more virtually online. It seems like we are on an endless quest for fun. We spend time working (making money) and entertaining ourselves (spending the money we earned) with the infinite distractions this world has to offer. (On a side note, I am always amazed at people saying they are bored with so many choices and opportunities for them to partake. It is probably either laziness or a frustration with not being able to fill the Jesus shaped hole in their lives with the frivolous things of this world.) But back to the Jesus size hole, it is where we should be focused, and it seems it is the last place we (I) turn to when feeling uneasy.
I seem to have an increased feeling of uneasiness these days both in intensity and frequency.
Do you ever feel like as a Christian you are being surrounded and evil is encircling you? In every aspect of your life when interfacing with this world.
I think we have well overstayed our welcome here, as Christians, and the rise of the evil forces of this world is growing & strengthening.
This is where that Jesus sized hole becomes even more important. Our Lord and Savior did not want us to be fearful or surprised at what was coming. Those two things go hand in hand, we are always more fearful of the unknown, that is why Jesus wanted us to know what was coming and gave us His word and prophecy so that we could put our minds at ease that He is in control and every word He spoke is the truth and unchangeable. We need to fill ourselves daily with His word so we remember what He said more than what this world is screaming at us daily. When we see these things come to pass we should look up and rejoice that our Lord is coming for us. Not only that but all pain and fear will end and only joyful rejoicing will replace it.
That is how as Christians we should think of Judgement and Christs second coming. Not as this world has tried to frame it. And really from their perspective, they should be fearful. They have chosen to turn their backs on God and reject His free gift of salvation through His works on the cross.
That is the good news and what we are called as Christians to spread. But we have to spread both sides of the message, for if a non-Christian does not understand the current state at which they find themselves, they will have less motivation to change and a lesser understanding of the magnitude of the gift God is offering to all of us.

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.

There is a lot going on, things have definitely sped up. Some of these headlines may seem small but they are the beginning and feed into the big picture of what is happening all around us, that most that are asleep, have no idea are occurring as they are too distracted with the things of this world.
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’

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.

This headline jumped out at me, from drudge none the less. You can feel it in the air, there is an intensity and foreboding for anyone who is paying attention.
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),” Continue Reading »
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.

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.
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!
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Obama Threatens Veto of Religious Protection for Military
Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) passed an amendment in the House Armed Services Committee protecting religious speech of service members in the military. President Barack Obama has now threatened to veto the bill if it passes the full House and Senate.
Congressman: Christian Soldiers Being Singled out for Punishment
A Midwestern lawmaker is calling on his colleagues in Congress to offer cover to an Army soldier under fire for his conservative political views and religious faith, and accusing the Obama administration of “creating a tyrannical culture of political correctness in the military.”

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.
Report: Mosques Exempt from Government Surveillance
According to an online editorial in Investor’s Business Daily, mosques have been off-limits to the FBI for almost two years. 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.

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.
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
DOJ forces employees to affirm ‘gay’ agenda05/25/13 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
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.
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.”

The long and winding road that leads to your door will never disappear.
The road to heaven will never disappear if we walk in the LIGHT…
[Jesus said,] “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (John 8:12).
“He will teach us His ways, so that we can walk in His paths” (Isaiah 2:3).
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
“Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell” (Psalm 43:3).
“I was blind but now I see!” (John 9:25b)
For ONLY if we have the Light will we be able to RECOGNIZE the darkness.
“There are those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways nor abide in its paths” (Job 24:13).
“…For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14b).
When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, His Holy Spirit enters into our hearts and gives us the instruction that we need to fulfill His plan and His purpose for our lives and for the life of the kingdom.
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:12-14).
I’ve seen that road before.
The Word of the Lord is the way to prepare for the trip, to travel the road, and to reach our destination.
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.
What he lays out really rings true as you step back and look how the last 5-10 years have unfolded and what we know now.
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.
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.
“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 Continue Reading »
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, Continue Reading »
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
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.

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.

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.
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:

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!

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!
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.

The article below shows the level of deception our world has achieved. Our own government and mainstream media is lying to us and covering up for those that want to harm us. They used to call that Treason.
Of course, we should not be surprised. Christ and the prophets warned us of the deception we would see in the last days. Good would be called evil and evil, good. Many false prophets and false messiah would arise and deceive many, even the elect.
We must wake up and turn back to God so that we can be protected and able to discern the Truth. It is all there in God’s word if we seek it. He laid it out in advance, thousands of years ago so that we could be reassured and know that He is God.
Confirmation that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, the Saudi national and initial “person of interest,” is indeed being deported this week now is spreading across the Internet. More details are emerging this weekend as Arabic sources and Saudi papers themselves are confirming “rumors” swirling in the US. (more at bottom)
Moreover, the Saudi papers are detailing the visit by the Obamas, especially Michelle to the hospital and this man. The “rumors” of the President meeting with Saudi officials in the hospital just prior to his “approved deportation” is a bragging right in their press.
More notable is the assertions that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi is free an clear of terrorist ties, when in fact over 10 names from his clan are already linked to Al-Qaeda.
Many from Al-Harbi’s clan are entrenched in terrorism and are members of Al-Qaeda as identified by the Islamic governements.
Out of a list of 85 terrorists listed by the Saudi government shows several of Al-Harbi clan to have been active fighters in Al-Qaeda:
#15 Badr Saud Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
#73 Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
#26 Khalid Salim Uwaid Al-Lahibi Al-Harbi
#29 Raed Abdullah Salem Al-Thahiri Al-Harbi
#43 Abdullah Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Harbi (leader)
#60 Fayez Ghuneim Humeid Al-Hijri Al-Harbi

This is outrageous. When I saw the headline I could only shake my head to the audacity.
What a better sign that our world is upside down than our Abortion Commander-in-Chief telling the leading abortion organization in our nation that he wishes God to bless them and their work – the murder of our children for the convenience of the parent’s life.
Evil is called good and good, evil!
Our nation has turned away from God and our founding roots. Our nation was one of two in world history that at our founding we were consecrated in service to God. We were founded as a Christian nation to serve God and fulfill His will and because of that commitment, we have been blessed beyond belief.
However, we have turned from Him as a nation and are systematically driving him from every area of our public life and in many, their private lives. His blessing and protection has thus been lifted.
We are living in the Days of Noah and the Days of Lot. Evil is called good and good, evil as prophesied.
President Obama ended his address to the largest abortion provider in the U.S., Planned Parenthood, by saying, “God bless you.”
“As long as we’ve got to fight to make sure women have access to quality, affordable health care, and as long as we’ve got to fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own choices about her own health, I want you to know that you’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way,” said Obama. “Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.”

Jan’s article this week really hit close to home. (Excerpt below, full article below.)
Excuse me while I rant. I think Bible prophecy gets a bad rap. I think that those of us who long for Jesus’ return are marginalized in the church today. I even think there is a war on Bible prophecy starting in our seminaries. The carnage is played out in our churches that across-the-board stay away from the subject. The fact that the King is coming is seen as bad news to many because the event is shrouded in the world’s bad news.
But my perplexity goes beyond this. As a ministry, we have asked ourselves just how we can get the under age 45 crowd out to our events. Todd Strandberg of Rapture Ready writes about this as well. He says, “Every time I go to a prophecy conference, I can’t help but notice the sea of gray hair in the main meeting room. A few years back, at a conference in South Carolina, there wasn’t a single person under age 50 — and we had over 500 people in attendance.”
As one of the few in the younger segment, I can definitely relate to what the quotes listed below say about our generations. I have pondered this quite a bit as I attend conferences. I feel most of it is the falling away prophesied. There is another more practical piece as well. Most of those I know in that age group are very “busy” with life trying to survive, hold on to what they have, and provide for their families. I think part of it could simply be a matter of time, or better put, lack of time. Those that are on their second or third career, maybe in “retirement” with families grown, simply have more time to be vocal about their beliefs, do the studies needed, have radio shows, start websites, or attend conferences. Shoot, even finding time to read a book can be challenging for those working 2-3 jobs, raising a family, and attending to their spousal duties, etc.
This “busy-ness” is too, I feel, prophetic and may be a tool used in the “falling away” we are experiencing. God said in the latter days, knowledge will increase and many will run to and fro. At some point the economy will also be so bad that a man would have to work all day for a single days worth of food. Could we be starting to see this ramp up? It seems like we have to stretch every dollar we have further each day and there is so much information (and dis-information) thrown at us everyday that it can take every waking hour to just filter through and digest it all. There are more “distractions” streaming at us 24/7 than ever before in history. It’s hard to imagine that even 50 years ago the expression “has time on his hands” was common and used often to describe a young person. Could this just be another way the evil one distracts the young and less wise from God’s word and promises?
With the speed at which things have crescendo’ed, a person has to make a strong stand to actively seek God and study His word (which includes prophecy, especially) or be swept away in the current of life and leisure. I am afraid that most do not chose to make that stand and fight daily upstream to wrestle with God’s word daily, opening their hearts to the Holy Spirit so that they can properly and more quickly discern the truth and filter through all the disinformation that is spewed constantly. Could this “lack of time” or maybe better put lack of wisdom and priorities, be causing so many in this age group to miss God’s prophetic word? I know it is a daily struggle, personally, and something I have had to sacrifice to maintain from a time stand point (No TV and little to no worldly entertainment), though the reward has been overwhelming.
Without God, how can we expect to keep up this insane pace and discern correctly. Most roll over when nudged awake and go back to sleep, not wanting to bother with the effort required to resist this world’s distractions and fight upstream. It is a sad state, but we should not dwell on it. It is why Christ said “when we see these things begin (just start, not complete) we should look up, and lift up our heads because our redemption draws near. Our Blessed Hope!
Luke 21:28
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
28 But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

A few years back, at a conference in South Carolina, there wasn’t a single person under age 50 — and we had over 500 people in attendance.”
Strandberg concludes, “I’m very concerned about the state of leadership in the field of prophecy. I’m 47, and I am a spring chicken when compared to the ages of my peers.”
So I threw the dilemma out to my radio listeners this past weekend. I asked that if they were of the “younger generation,” and loved the topic of eschatology (end-times), would you please send me a note? I cannot say that I am inundated! I’ve had less than a dozen replies thus far. Here are a few examples.
Nick is 27 and writes, “I’m very concerned with the young generation. We are moving into the ‘end times’ at such a rapid rate and this young generation is in a coma.” Those are his words, not mine! I am certain that not every young person is in that condition. /span>
Mike is 34 and writes, “You asked on your program today for young people to let you know if end-time prophecy is an issue. End-time prophecy is not AN issue, it is THE issue. You can look at it as I do as the blessed hope or you can look at it as frightening.”
Ashley writes, “I am completely enthralled about learning about end times and how events in our world are carrying us closer to the return of our King. It thrills me!! Most of my (young) friends know nothing about it and have little desire to learn. They say it scares them. Personally though, I am filled with hope that we could be caught up with Jesus and not have to taste death. I can’t wait to meet Jesus face to face!”

Wow what can I say? That is a lot of ground to cover in one weeks update, but would you believe we had all of that and then some in the headlines on a single day. JD does a wonderful job laying out the big picture, the forest, the puzzle!
All the pieces are coming into place. My only explanation for why people don’t see it is that they are perpetually distracted with the things of this world. Christ called it being “asleep”. Having awoken, I think that is a good description of what it was like. It is not coincidence that all these things are happening on the same day/week/month.

I am not one to post speculation and conspiracy theories but I was simply taken a back by the truth of the opening paragraph of the article below.
Not long after Barack Hussein Obama first took office in 2009, I’ve been saying that he is a Muslim and not a Christian as he claims. He has done everything to assist Muslims and hinder Christians. He has hosted Muslim leaders who have vowed to destroy America. He gives billions of dollars and weapons to Islamic extremists, yet he refuses to help a Christian family that only wants to homeschool their children.
When you step back and look at the forest, instead of the trees, the truth presents itself front and center. (I think it is something few do as we are generally to “busy” these days to even breath.) Hundreds of Christians die in Egypt and other African nations at the hands of Islam and nothing from our President, not even a word, silence.
Jesus told us plainly how to tell if someone is a Christian. Yes, we cannot know a persons heart, only God can. But God said through the Apostle Paul that when we believe in Christ we are changed. The Holy Spirit dwells in us and our life & outward actions begin to change, even our reactions to our sinful actions. Christ said:
Matthew 7:15-20
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits.
The fruits are the works and output we produce after believing, through accepting the gift of salvation. I know in my heart that our President is not a Christian. It has been verified by God’s word. I do not know of what faith he is but I know he is not a Christian. No Christian could condone every type of abortion, on-demand. His bad fruit is strewn across our nation and the world. He tears down good and builds up/supports evil. No, he is not a follower of Christ, that I know for certain.
Not long after Barack Hussein Obama first took office in 2009, I’ve been saying that he is a Muslim and not a Christian as he claims. He has done everything to assist Muslims and hinder Christians. He has hosted Muslim leaders who have vowed to destroy America. He gives billions of dollars and weapons to Islamic extremists, yet he refuses to help a Christian family that only wants to homeschool their children.
I am convinced that Obama has been actively paving the way to change America from a Christian nation to Muslim nation, and I’m not the only one. Egyptian Cleric Abu Islam also believes it will happen and it will happen soon. On March 18, 2013, Abu Islam was interviewed on Al-Kahera Wal-Nas TV in Egypt. Here is what he said:
Islam: “We have four large Islamic groups: The Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and Al-Gama’s Al-Islamiyya. These are four significant powers. Is there anyone more qualified to lead the country than the Muslim Brotherhood? Then let the Muslim Brotherhood assume this responsibility.”
”Who should be in charge of religious affairs in Egypt? The Salafis. Is any group more qualified that the Salafis to regulate ideology? I choose the Salafis to run Al-Azhar and the Ministry of Religious Endowments.”
“We are left with the army and the police. Which is the best to run the police? The Muslim Brotherhood? No. The Salafis? No. Al-Gama’a Al-Islamiyya is the best for the job.”

Great video on what we are facing as a world with the rise of two world view.
I think a person’s “worldview”, the base at which the view and interpret all of the things going on in the world, is something that most people don’t value or give much thought too.
It is however, critical to seeing the truth and not being deceived. It is why Christ said to build our beliefs on the Rock, not sand. All world views outside Christianity are on sinking sand. It is the grey world of human nature, and not the black and white world of the Christian Faith based on God’s word; the Bible.

“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.
Honestly, I had no idea Noah’s Ark had been found in Turkey. Even the Turkish government back around 1987 established the Noah’s Ark National Park because the evidence was so compelling that it was indeed Noah’s Ark.
Here’s a slightly annoying video (the music in the background annoys me) that you can watch where they go through the evidence and how they came to conclude it is indeed Noah’s Ark. You can watch the whole thing if you want, but I’d start right around 14:08 and go from there. That’s where a 1985 edition of 20/20 starts where they follow these guys to the site of Noah’s Ark. It explains the history around it as well which is why it’s a good place to start.
Also I should note that I haven’t watched the entire video, but I have seen most of it and it seems pretty legit to me. But then I could be a succor for newly found Biblical treasure.
Here’s the site the video came from that goes into quite a bit of detail if you want to read on it first.

JD does a great job laying out the major signs we have seen in the heavens and on earth just since the beginning of the year.
He skipped earthquakes because there are simply too many. I need to do a count but we are averaging a least one 6.0+ earthquake or more a day. A few years back you use to see a 6.0 maybe a dozen times a year. Things are very much heating up.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." -- Ephesians 2:8-10
