Obama’s disgust could be our judgement
WorldNetDaily reported that Obama told PA president Mahmoud Abbas that he was disgusted with Israel because they refuse to stop all settlement activity in the west bank and east Jerusalem.
Be careful now! God has said to Israel “I will bless those that bless thee and curse those that curse thee”. Gen 12:2-3
Israel has been our friend since the state was founded. Given our country’s propensity to sin and export sin, being a blessing to Israel is about all that has kept God from dropping judgement on us. Just look at how England fell from greatness when they reversed the Balfour Declaration.
How much longer will God wait? Only time will tell. It is advisable to get your relationship straight with God before the hammer comes down.

SPACE.com — Sun Surprisingly Active During Low Point in Cycle
I find this interesting this interesting in light of the fourth bowl judgment spoken about in Revelation 16. Could the next predicted Solar Maximum be a part of God’s judgment on Earth?
Only God knows now.
Could God have planned it this way?
Absolutely!
Will it happen this way?
I don’t know. But, think about the planning… only the infinite Creator God of the universe could have foreseen, and even created the circumstance for something like this.
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”
Here is the article: SPACE.com — Sun Surprisingly Active During Low Point in Cycle

Obama wins the peace prize???
I called my sister this morning and she said “turn on the news! Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize!”. So, I turned on the news and there it was: a press conference about the Dark One winning the Peace Prize!!!!????
Are you kidding!!!!???? What on earth has he accomplished since he was elected by the masses he brainwashed?
- he declared June Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride month
- he appointed as Safe Schools Czar a man who claims to be “inspired” by Harry Hay, an early LGBT activist and and member of NAMBLA
- he rammed through the Cap and Trade bill to make energy prohibitively expensive to prevent “climate change”
- he apologized for America to the Muslims of the world
- he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia
- he dissed the queen and prime minister of Great Britain, our oldest allies
- he dictated to Israel that they must give up all ability to defend themselves so they can have peace
According to the New York Times:
President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize today in part for what the award’s organizers said was a “more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting.”
The stunning decision to honor Obama just nine months into his first term caught even the White House off guard.
“Well, this is not how I expected to wake up this morning,” Obama said during a Rose Garden speech.
Ok, so it was for ramming through the Cap and Trade bill. I love it. He passes bad legislation against the wishes of the majority of Americans based on bad science and wins the Nobel Prize. It makes perfect sense. The world sees Obama as the messiah, children sing praises to him and worship him.
Let’s step back for a bit and look at a couple of verses.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. – Gen 9:13
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. – Rev 6:2
During his campaign Obama mesmerized the masses. Catholics voted for him, even though he not only voted for every abortion bill he could but also voted for infanticide bills. Jews voted for him even though he is an anti-semite. He bamboozled many people with his silver tongue. The whole world was declaring him the messiah before the election.
It is so easy to see the globalist agenda being advanced by the current administration and congress. Hate speech bills, cap and trade, refusing to close our borders, making all the benefits of citizenship available to illegal aliens so the system will be overloaded and break down.
Dithering on sending the troops needed to win in Afghanistan, apologizing to any muslim he can find for “American arrogance”, enhancing his appearance of weakness. Printing money and selling debt to China so we will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Peking before long.
They are deliberately destroying America, throwing away our status as a sovereign nation, hitching our wagon to the United Nations, an organization that would love to see the only democracy in the middle east destroyed.
Is Barack Obama the one on the white horse, offering a covenant of peace between Israel and the rest of the world? Only time will tell, but his being given the peace prize based on good intentions sure tells a lot.
Keep your eyes open and do not be deceived.

The Physical Return of Christ
DOWNLOAD THE AUDIO
DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO
John Piper with three different biblical scholars each holding one view of when the return of Jesus happens. For those in the know… the discussion is hosted by a Calvinist… with a pre-, a- and post-millennialist.
The video is long but presents the crucial sides of all three arguments. I see the post- and a-millennial arguments week… that is only because I am a pre-millennialist! I have watched it in entirety and my views are not changed.
It has been brought to my attention there is a fourth view… pan-millennialism… that is the belief that it will all pan out in the end!
To really understand this… I think you need to forget eschatology! The only question I have in that has never been asked in the whole discussion… When was/will Babylon be uninhabited forever?
Check out the posted at the website video here!

When will God apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah?
President Obama has declared June 2009 as LGBT Pride month. It has been said that homosexuality was not what condemned Sodom and Gomorrah. It was the government officially condoning it as an acceptable way to live. The current administration has unequivocably declared that to be the way America rolls now.
Is this surprising? In Romans 1:18-32 Paul explains that one of the judgments God lays on a people that denies Him as Creator, is homosexuality and all other kinds of perversion. The passage ends with this statement:
| Rom 1:32 |
Though they know God’s decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. |
This verse sounds like what the president did June 1st in declaring LGBT Pride month. He certainly gave approval to them and promised to work for their entire agenda.
The Creatorship of God is not only officially denied by our government, the government schools are not allowed to mention creationism and punish anyone who does not believe that evolution is a fact. Atheism, which denies God exists, let alone created this universe, has become the state religion. Romans 1 explains that the epidemic of immoralitywe are facing today, especially “LGBT Pride” is a result of denying that God created us. How long will it be before God judges our nation and destroys it?
| Rom 2:2 |
We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who do such things. |
I believe that the only thing that is keeping God from destroying our country is that fact that, though imperfectly, we have always supported Israel against her enemies. How much longer is this going to be true? It is evident that the president is bent on supporting the position of Israel’s enemies and forcing Israel to capitulate to the demands of the people that want to see israel wiped off the map. As long as we have blessed Israel, God has blessed us. The US government is moving towards becoming a curse to Israel and is moving into very dangerous territory.
| Gen 12:3 | And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. |
Better fasten your seatbelt, kiddies, because we are in for a bumpy ride.

Is Islam anti christ?
Daniel 12:4 says in the end time knowledge shall be increased. Besides the obvious increase in technology, etc., this includes an increase in knowledge of the bible. An interesting trend has appeared lately that I want to share with you.
I started studying end times prophecy in the 70′s when everyone was talking about the revived roman empire being the European Economic Community, now the European Union. I remember thinking that the romans did not have much influence in germany or northern europe, but they were scholars so maybe it was true. When the number of countries in the union went way over ten it started looking less likely. They forgot that the Roman empire split into an eastern part and a western part towards the end after Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey).
Lately though scholars have noticed that besides Magog (Russia) all the countries that God says he will fight are from the eastern part of the empire. Look at Ezekial 38 and 39. Two articles from K-house Personal Update are about this as well. Besides being from the eastern part of the empire, they are also all Muslim. Here is a map of the extent of the roman empire. As you can easily notice, a lot of what are now muslim lands are included
Another site I just found, Apathetic-USA goes into the plans of radical Islam to take over the whole world and make it be ruled by sharia law. This not as far fetched as you might think. The muslims are on the verge of taking over europe already. For the most part, Europeans and Americans are not having a lot of children any more. One or two kids is pretty much the norm, even among Catholics. Not so with Muslims. They are moving in and having lots of babies. They are the fastest growing ethnic group in Europe. They are making great inroads into getting their communities officially ruled by sharia law as well. Before long the ethnic Europeans will be the minorities in their own countries.
People need to take a look at this and see what they can do.

Should We Heed Wilkerson’s Warning?
as reported by World Net Daily
TESTING THE FAITH
Pastor now tells how to prep for imminent catastrophe
Wilkerson says be ready, ‘See the salvation of the Lord’
Posted: March 09, 2009
8:35 pm Eastern
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
 |
| David Wilkerson |
A nationally known pastor and author who predicts an imminent catastrophe of God’s judgment on America is now telling concerned Christians it is time for peace and preparation, not panic.
“This is what I hear the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart concerning my own spiritual response to impending calamity,” writes David Wilkerson, author of “The Cross and the Switchblade” and founder of a ministry to troubled New York street kids, on his blog today. “It is simply this: Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.”
As WND reported, Wilkerson drew attention by publishing on his blog over the weekend a vision for impending fires and riots sweeping through New York City and other cities across the country.
“An earth-shattering calamity is about to happen,” he writes. “It is going to be so frightening, we are all going to tremble – even the godliest among us.”
“It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires,” he explains. “What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath.”
After such dire words, Wilkerson was asked how people should respond to his message, and, with today’s blog post, the pastor answered.
“I can only answer by sharing what the Holy Spirit is speaking to my own heart and what I am to do,” writes Wilkerson. “I shared that I was led in a practical way to lay aside a month’s supply of food — because I have witnessed the panic in the wake of terrorism.”
Wilkerson’s call to prepare for catastrophic circumstances comes during a time when, as WND reported, the economic crisis has prompted a surge of business in the emergency preparedness industry.
Bill Heid of Survival Seeds, a company that sells “banks” of high-yielding vegetable seeds sealed for long-term storage, told WND, “The survivalist mentality used to be considered a fringe element, but now that economic times are such as they are, many more average, regular folks are adopting the same set of preparations.”
But Wilkerson also sees a spiritual application of his message, calling Christians to exhibit peace and hope in God’s salvation in the midst of fearful times.
“My warning is just one voice among many who are saying the same thing,” writes Wilkerson. “We may all tremble for a season, but those who truly know God’s Word will be quickly comforted by the Holy Spirit. We will be baptized with a great peace – a supernatural quietness – which will be a tremendous witness to the fearful multitudes.”
One of the many Christian leaders with a similar message is Dr. Gary Dull, pastor and founding member of The Faith and Freedom Institute.
“America was founded with a spiritual basis, but there are those who want to make it a purely secular nation,” said Dull to an NBC reporter. “Because of the rejection of God and His values, we can expect nothing but His judgment. All one needs to do is to read in history and find out how that when a nation forgot God, God forgot the nation.”
A past vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention is hoping believers pay attention to Wilkerson’s message.
“I have known David Wilkerson for more than 25 years as well as many of his friends and associates,” said Pastor Wiley Drake. “He is a godly man and I believe he is listening to God. I encourage each Christian to read and heed what God is saying through our brother.”
Wilkerson is the founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City, where he launched a ministry to gang members and drug addicts in 1958. He is a highly regarded mentor to other pastors in evangelical circles and travels the world holding conferences for other Christian ministers.
His work in New York in the 1950s and 1960s led to the formation of Teen Challenge – a nationwide ministry to reach out to people with life-controlling habits. Teen Challenge has grown to include 173 residential programs and numerous evangelism outreach centers in the U.S., and 241 centers in 77 other countries. The program claims a recovery rate of 86 percent.
The story of Wilkerson’s first five years of ministry in New York is told in “The Cross and the Switchblade,” a book he co-authored in 1963. The book, which spawned a movie, became a best-selling phenomenon, and more than 15 million copies have been distributed in over 30 languages.

Twilight’s Last Gleaming? The End of America As We Know It Part II
Twilight’s Last Gleaming?
The End of America As We Know It Part II
by Chuck Missler
In only a matter of months, tens of millions of Americans have seen their investments, retirements, life savings, home values, and employment decimated, or even evaporate completely before their eyes. Some are expecting that the worst is yet to come.
Welcome to 2009
To many, our summary last month may have appeared a bit overstated. However, available data have only gotten worse:
• U.S. housing starts fell a further 15.5% in December to 550,000, the lowest on record.
• U.S. industrial production fell a further 2.2% in December, to a 7.8% year-over-year decline.
• European industrial orders (a leading indicator of industrial production) are down 26% year-over-year, the largest decline on record.
• Japanese exports plunged 35% in December.
• Global steel production was reported to be down 24% in December.
All over the world, dramatic rates of decline in economic activity are being reported.
The shocking figure of $700 trillion in derivatives exposure in our previous report may have appeared fanciful. The latest reports estimate that this figure may be over $1,144 trillion! The proposed stimulus packages are simply pork and election paybacks…Paul Volker, former Chairman of the Fed, recently expressed his concerns as follows:1
The economic slump has begun to metastasize after a shocking collapse in output over the past two months, threatening to overwhelm the incoming Obama administration… What this crisis reveals is a broken financial system like no other in my lifetime. Normal monetary policy is not able to get money flowing. There has been leveraging in the economy beyond imagination…The trouble is, even with all the government intervention, the market is not moving again.
The traditional remedies are not working.
A Delayed Confession
The National Bureau of Economic Research officially announced, albeit almost a year after the fact, that the U.S. has been in recession since the 4th quarter of 2007. If Q4 2007 was the start of the recession, then Q4 of 2008 was the start of a depression!
It’s only getting worse. We are in the midst of an unprecedented global economic contraction, with no prospect for one region to “save” the others. This depression is global, pervasive, and deep.
Over the past several decades America has shifted from a producing economy to a consumer economy. Consumption has been aggressively promoted as the key to economic health, and Americans have become a very materialistic people. What family does not have multiple cars, computers, televisions, sound systems, electronic gadgets of all kinds (many seldom used), closets overfilled with clothes (many never worn), and every form of entertainment and amusement imaginable.
The pursuit of “the good life” has become an entitlement rather than a reward for achievement. Our activities and commitments are determined by our borrowing ability rather than our savings: our tether has only been limited by our capacity to mortgage the future to serve the present.
Most Americans have never known “hard times”—having to go without food, shelter, medical care, a job, or even prospects of finding one. Today, millions of Americans are living from credit card to credit card, let alone paycheck to paycheck. It has recently been reported that 31 million Americans (over 10% of the population) are now on food stamps. Crime is on the rise—especially in the major cities—as people are stealing to live and eat. Both riches and poverty are hazards:
Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
2 Proverbs 30:7-9
The Great Depression
Comparisons of our current predicament with the Great Depression of the 1930s are very misleading because both the personal and business debt levels then were less than 5% of what they are today. In the 1930s, most homeowners had 30-50% equity in their homes versus the 5-10% for tens of millions of homeowners today. Americans entered the 1930s with huge savings and little debt. Today they have zero savings and huge debt. The financial pain, delinquency, bankruptcies and impoverishment will be much greater in the current depression than in that of the 1930s.
Furthermore, the Americans of the 1930s were a hardened and resourceful lot. They had come through the “hard times” of World War I, and were tested by the “hard times” of the Great Depression, which then prepared them for the rigors of World War II. Their character, toughness, morality, ingenuity, resilience, and sense of community was a far cry from our population of today.
America today is not the America of the 1930s. We have lost our moral and spiritual moorings over the past four or five decades—ever since we ordered God out of our schools and public places. We have become a drug-saturated, divorce-plagued, greed-driven, promiscuous society where dishonesty from the White House to Wall Street, from the media to the grass roots, has become the norm. Billy Graham’s famous quip rings in our ears: “If God doesn’t judge America, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!”
Our aggressive promotion of the Consumer Society has led to unbridled materialism funded by debt. The result: excessive debts at all levels: personal, corporate, and government. This has finally caught up with us. There is, after all, a limit to our collective ability to borrow and we now have an enormous col-lapse of excessive debt—at all levels.
Ineffectual Remedies
And what is the remedy to this crisis? More debt? The problem is so large that even the policy makers have yet to grasp the magnitude of the debacle we face. Home values are still plunging across the nation, having declined by over 25% from previous years’ levels. Banks and brokerage houses have collectively lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the ongoing hedge fund and derivatives meltdown. Weary investors were shocked to discover that the investment banking units of Wall Street firms couldn’t even manage their own assets, let alone those of their clients. Their outmoded investment models had no understanding of the structural nature of our debt-based economy and debt-based monetary system and, thus, were doomed to failure.
We have seen more than $8 trillion of wealth transferred in the last three months of 2008. This is modern “Robin Hood” economics which takes from the ignorant and uninformed and transfers the wealth to those who understand the system.
Most politicians, bankers, and Wall Street operatives are promoting a typical Keynesian approach to try to solve our economic debacle. John Maynard Keynes, a British economist, is the architect of our current economic model in the U.S. and around the world. Keynes wrote a book in 1920, The Economic Consequences of Peace. In the book Keynes states,
By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. There is no more surer nor more subtle way to overturn the existing basis of society than to debauch or destroy the currency. It engages all the processes of economic law that comes down on the side of destruction and does it in a manner that not one person in a million can diagnose.
One person in a million? That’s proof that the game is rigged.
Government Meddling with Free Markets
Some say this has been a failure of free market economics. Quite the contrary. It can be traced to at least four major fail-ures of government intervention:
1) Central bank attempts to keep interest rates far lower than what free markets would have warranted (especially post-9/11), supported by the lie that inflation was non-existent;
2) The existence of government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, fuelling ridiculous (forced) excesses in mortgage finance and credit availability from ever-rising housing prices;
3) The moral hazard that ran amok as it became obvious that financial institutions can take egregious risks partly be-cause they became “too big to fail”; and,
4) The existence of an unprecedented current account deficit in the world’s reserve currency, financed by government-run foreign institutions (central banks and sovereign wealth funds).
The Travesty Continues
Governments the world over are taking an increasing role in the functioning of the economy and the financial markets. But are they trying to solve the main problem: namely, too much debt? Quite the contrary: every single solution they’ve adopted has been trying to get the good old days back—cutting interest rates to zero; throwing money at the banking system so it can lend again. All these solutions have one goal: to bring in more debt.
They are ignoring, at least for the time being, the paradigm shift. But the markets aren’t buying it… literally. Debts continue to implode. Every bailout is being followed by an even more massive bailout down the road. The government’s solution has been to shift debt from the financial markets to the taxpayer. Is there a difference? Instead of individuals living beyond their means, we now have governments living beyond their means. Substitute taxpayers for governments and you will quickly realize how the whole thing is a farce.
The Law of Unintended Consequences
The law of unintended consequences is what happens when a simple system tries to regulate a complex system. The political system is simple. It operates with limited information (rational ignorance), short time horizons (to get re-elected), low feedback, and poor and misaligned incentives (17,000 lobbyists bidding at auction for their patronage!). Society, in contrast, is a complex, evolving, high-feedback, incentive-driven system. When a simple system tries to regulate a complex system, you often get unintended consequences.
Basic incompetence, however, may be an assessment too kind. Some suspect that the assault on the dollar is more sinister.3
The Amero?
President Bush’s furtive positioning for a “North American Union” was anticipating a new common currency to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican Peso, called the Amero. Robert Pastor, the architect of the plan, had published 2010 as the target date for its introduction.4
Many regarded this as ridiculous: it would take a major crisis: massive U.S. government debt; an unbridled credit expansion, the prospect of major property collapse, etc. However, the current crisis would certainly seem to fit the bill! Might this very crisis actually be deliberately engineered? If so, we won’t have to wait very long to test that hypothesis.
Our Basic Predicament
The real problem is that America is in moral free fall. We are victims of spiritual warfare: We have a media masking truth. We have courts perverting justice. We have schools deliberately “dumbing down” our youth. We have replaced our traditional heritage with “multiculturalism,” revisionism, and value relativism. We deny the very existence of truth. So our traditional patriotism has now been relegated to an obsolete form of idol worship.
Our government is now the purveyor of immorality. Why are we surprised? Governments have always loved crises: they provide the rationale for increasing budgets and bureaucracies, and subjugating the population. Most new dictators create external crises to consolidate their internal powers. In our country, they long ago learned that social crises serve that function as well as military ones.
There is one insight that supplies a key missing link: immorality results in social crises. Is it any surprise to learn that governments have an enormous incentive to promote immorality? Should we be surprised by the attacks on the family, the promotion of homosexuality, abortion, and other disruptive factors to destabilize and disrupt our society?
Our Personal Action Plan
Obviously, we all need to get back to basics, and lower our cost of living and get out of debt as aggressively as possible.5 We also need to reprioritize ourselves to lead resourceful, productive lives, and extricate ourselves from our own material-ism and self-indulgences. We need to refocus ourselves toward self-reliance, virtuous lives, focusing on real values, and, above all, to regain an active reverence for the Living God And, all our prayers should include the petition that the lessons not be wasted.
We can’t change the coming tide. But we can warn others. And now the good news: It is going to be the biggest opportunity of a lifetime to serve our Coming King! People who were previously apathetic or complacent will soon be desperately looking for answers! We need to be prepared to provide them! (Ah, there’s the rub: we need to be prepared! Are you? How can we help? Some relevant sources of comfort include Phil 4:19; Deut 31:6; Ps 119 (cf. v.50, 76, et al.); and, Rom 8:28-39.

Notes:
1. Paul Volker speaking in London 11/21/08.
2. This confirms our view that the “taking the name of the Lord” refers to ambassadorship rather than vocabulary. Cf. Ex. 20:7.
3. It is interesting that “sinister,” incidentally, means “left.” Draw your own conclusions.
