Obama and the antichrist

2012-02-16T11:00:00.000-08:00

In the Book of Revelation, the seven year reign of the antichrist is detailed. If you look at these details you can get an idea of what has to occur first and how close we might be to that time. The antichrist comes in as a peacemaker. He rises to power of one country in the Middle East and then gains control of two other countries. From this base of power, he puts together a ten country coalition. He makes peace with Israel and for the first time there will appear to actually be peace in the Middle East. All the nations of the earth will relax and switch defense dollars to their economic recoveries. Three and a half years later, the antichrist will sneak attack Israel. After three and a half more years of war, Israel will be close to being wiped out even with the help of the United States and the United Kingdom. For years people have doubted this because it is unimaginable that the U.S. couldn’t win this war. Now we are close enough to see how this will come about.

The election of 2012 will be a close election. If the rapture takes place in September, a significant number of conservative voters will not be around to vote. This will give Obama enough of an edge to win the election. Not to mention that when the church is pulled out, the spirit of antichrist will no longer be restrained and even more will succumb to the side of Satan. If the rapture is in September, the first 42 months of the reign of antichrist will begin or soon thereafter. With peace in the Middle East a reality in the first year of Obama’s second term he will accelerate his degrading of the U. S. military. Obama’s economic policies will continue to harm the U. S. economy, When the first 42 months of the reign of antichrist is complete it will be in the last year of Obama’s second term. When the antichrist attacks Israel, Obama will not be in a position to help Israel. If Obama even wanted to, which I doubt. In the 2016 election even if a republican president wants to protect Israel, the U. S. will be broke and hampered by a severely deteriorated military force. That is the only reasonable possibility that can explain how the U. S. and Israel can be defeated.

Whether a republican is elected president in 2012 or 2016, the military and economy will be improving. This provides a short window of weakness for the U. S. and the rest of the world. At the same time, there is a power vacuum in the Middle East. After centuries of tribal fighting, all the dictators have lost power. For the first time ever, Islam provides a way for the Middle East to be united. This also is a short window. Both are necessary for the prophecy of the Book of Revelation to come true. This is the first time ever that both of these are possible and occurring at the same time. This is a very short window; it has to take place either this year or next year. Once again God is moving countries around like pawns. You don’t want to be here for the seven years of tribulation so start praying you are among those who are taken away in the rapture.

Once Upon A Time and Modern Christianity

2012-01-21T13:10:00.000-08:00

Once Upon A Time is a tv show on ABC in which all the story book characters of our favorite fables and fairy tales are gathered together in one place, Storybrooke. The premise is that the evil Queen cast a mighty evil curse that ruined all the happy endings. All the characters of all the ancient bedtime stories were cursed and sent to a place where they don’t know who they are or remember their past lives. In Storybrooke they live out boring lives reliving each day in purgatory thus granting the evil Queen her happy ending.
I see a moral to the story the writers may have not intended. To me, the story is analogous to the plight of modern Christianity. In Once Upon A Time, the fairy tales and fables are the reality and the modern world we live in is the false reality. The characters are stuck in our modern world not knowing that they are living a curse. They live their lives unaware that their happiness and destiny is what they believe to be fairy tales. As modern day Christians we suffer the same fate. The “enlightened” world view tells us that the Bible is a compilation of stories and fables and “truth” is what science has given us.
Science spins a tale that out of nothing the Big Bang created the universes we live in. Simple life forms crawled out of the oceans to evolve into modern creatures and eventually human beings. As humans we started out ignorant and through a scientific process we gained knowledge so we could become what we are today. The Bible says man was once greater than he is now and suffered a great fall, several actually. The Bible is a record of man’s struggle to regain what we lost.
When the ancient Greeks were searching for enlightenment they traveled to Egypt, the home of the oldest library in the world. At that time they were still aware that ancient cultures had greater wisdom and that knowledge was hidden in the scrolls at Alexandria. The Egyptian priests didn’t have the knowledge; they were just the keepers of the library.
The Bible says Enoch, knowing of the coming Great Flood, traveled far away to build a monument of stone to safeguard the wisdom of the past. The monument was in the middle and at the borders of Egypt. The Great Pyramid is in the middle of Egypt but also divides upper and lower Egypt in times of dual kingdoms. The dimensions of the Great Pyramid incorporate knowledge of Pi which wasn’t supposed to be discovered till Pythagoras. Ancient legends tell of Venus as a two horned comet streaking across the heavens. The oldest star charts are missing Venus, one of the easiest planets or stars to locate in the sky. Science tells us the universe for the most part has always been the same, expanding since the Big Bang. Science arrives at the dates of history based upon the theory that things remain basically the same. Therefore you can take present day calculations and working backwards estimate the dates. The Bible tells of several great cataclysms that changed the face of the Earth dramatically. In Siberia there are frozen remains of animals and 300 foot trees entangled and frozen for thousands of years. Explorers found mammoths with summer vegetation still in their stomachs fast frozen in place. The animals froze so fast that their meat was still good enough to feed the sled dogs. The Nazca lines and the Great Pyramid are proof that great knowledge was on Earth long before modern day society re-learned the lessons.
I could go on giving evidence but that’s not my point today. If you look hard enough, you will find much of what is held as truth is actually fairy tales and much of what we are told is fiction is in fact truth.

How Close Is The Rapture?

2011-11-02T22:40:00.000-07:00

For the last 2,000 years, people have thought they were in the last days. Whenever someone puts fourth that point of view the doubters reply “People have thought they were in the last days since the apostles and they were always wrong.” The so called logic being that if they were wrong, today’s advocates must be wrong also. I thought I would write down some of the reasons why I believe we today, really are in the last days before the tribulation.
There are several promises of God that are currently valid. If those promises become invalid it would make God a liar, which He is not. God stays loyal to His Word.
“David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of Israel” (Jeremiah ch.33;17).
The Queen of England currently holds this position and validates this promise.
Genesis 22:17, 'And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies'. The UK and the USA have been fulfilling this promise for some time. The book of Revelation makes it clear that Israel will remain until Jesus returns at the battle of Armageddon. The book of Revelation also says it will be the antichrist after the rapture that will make a peace pact with Israel.
So to determine how long until the rapture and reign of the antichrist, ask yourself these questions:
How long can the UK recognize the royal family?
How long can the USA remain the world’s military superpower?
How long can Israel last in the holy land without being wiped out or entering into a lasting peace pact with their enemies recognizing them as a country?
All of these are currently under attack. People and nations are working furiously to bring about the end of all three. Answer these questions and you will have an idea how long until the rapture and reign of the antichrist.

The antichrist and the near future

2010-03-06T02:07:00.000-08:00

In the not so distant future a new politician will come on the global stage. He will be charismatic, intelligent and by all appearances a man of peace. This politician will gain control or become the leader of a country in the middle east some where around Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran. Shortly thereafter, he will gain control of two other local countries. From this position of power, he will form a ten country coalition. The ten countries will be allied but it will be a loose confederation, a marriage of convenience. The politician will have a partner. The partner will be a religious leader who also excels in charisma. This religious leader will be able to perform "miracles" and will use this talent to persuade the religions and peoples of the earth to follow the politician. The politician will make a peace pact between Israel and his ten country coalition. A real peace will be enjoyed for a time. The long awaited and wished for peace between the Jews and their neighbors will finally be realized. The world will applaud the peace. The news media will fall in love with the politician. The politician will allow the Jews to start rebuilding their Temple and will even help with the effort. Nations around the world will start to reduce their militaries to better use the money for other needs. All will seem well.

Three and a half years later the politician will break the peace and sneak attack Israel. The goal will be to finally wipe out the Jews. When the politician breaks the peace and attacks Israel he will be possessed by the same demon that possessed Alexander the Great. The politician will now officially be the antichrist. He will have the skill and luck in battle that allowed Alexander to conquer most of the known world. The remnant of the Jews that survive the initial attacks will be driven into the desert. Only the United States and the United Kingdom will stand with Israel but having reduced their militaries and suffering from incredible debt they will be near impotent. While battling the reconstituted tribes of Israel in the form of Israel, United States and United Kingdom, the antichrist will attack Egypt. Seeing their chance to acquire oil rich land, Russia and China will attack the ten country coalition from the east. While all this is going on in the three and a half years after the peace is broken, the world will be experiencing all the horrors in the Book of Revelation. God will be pouring out His wrath on the occupants of the earth. All the pawns in the global chess game will be drawn to the plains of Megiddo for the final battle. The antichrist and his ten country coalition will be on the verge of victory. The Jews will be close to being wiped from the face of the earth. That is when the long awaited return of the Christ will take place. Jesus and His saints will arrive and win the battle. Jesus will bind Satan and all his armies in the pit for one thousand years. The kingdom of Jesus Christ will be established. Jesus and His saints will form a government and rule the earth for a millennium.

Before the politician can be identified and take his place on the global stage a "taking away" must occur. All those who await the return of Christ will be called up to meet Him in the air. They will be taken to Heaven where they will be tutored at the feet of Jesus for seven years. It is they that will return with Christ and be a part of his new government for a thousand years. They will not die because they will be reborn as new creations in Christ. So if you don't want to live through the worst parts of the Bible pray each day that Jesus allows you to be one of the lucky ones who meet Him in the air and go with Him to Heaven for the reign of the antichrist. The choice is yours.

Wheat and Weeds

2010-03-02T19:19:00.000-08:00

This blog is in response to a powerful, emotional blog I recently read on http://www.tormentedinhiding.blogspot.com/

In Wheatfield Bound Part 2, I was reminded several times of books I read on the subject of demonology: Hostage to the Devil by Malachi Martin, The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Brittle, The Screwtape Letters and Christianity and Culture by C. S. Lewis. Father Malachi Martin Ph. D wrote about 5 exorcisms of living Americans. Ed and Lorraine Warren have made a career investigating possible possessions for the Catholic Church in order to determine if exorcisms are warranted. The Screwtape Letters is a masterpiece in my opinion. C. S. Lewis wrote from the point of view of a ranking demon instructing lower demons on how to manipulate and handle their patients (human beings).

In Wheatfield Bound Part 2, the author speaks of hypnotism, black out periods and horror. These are recurring themes in the study of possessions. Ouija boards and hypnotism are leading catalyst for possessions. People who have gone through the tribulation of possession and exorcism often speak of entire periods of their life that are blacked out. They speak of people and experiences that they can recall clearly but they do not know it they were real, if they actually happened. In all cases or possession there are always tales of horror. We all are constantly under attack from the forces of Satan but for the extreme cases of possession it seems it is necessary for a person to allow or open themselves up to being taken over. That's what makes Ouija boards and hypnotism so dangerous they both by definition involve allowing access to you self by outer forces. C. S. Lewis "There is no neutral ground in the universe: every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan" Christianity and Culture. We have no choice but to choose who possesses us, God or Satan.

Satan has been extremely successful at convincing the world that he doesn't exist. We are so proud of our scientific and technological advances many people have come to believe that we are the center of the world, that no God or devils exist. This is exactly what Satan wants and is one of his greatest accomplishments. In one of the books in the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Eve tells how Satan complains that we humans are at fault for his losing his former status and glory. Satan was the crowning cherub in heaven, chief musician and one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful of all angels. When Satan rebelled and set himself up as a god, one third of heaven rebelled with him. They were cast out of heaven as a punishment for their rebellion. God planned to replace the perfect beings that had rebelled with imperfect beings that would show faith and devotion to Him. Later on Earth, fallen angels seeing the daughters of men, seeing they were beautiful took them for wives and had children with them. The nephilim (giants or titans) were the offspring of these forbidden unions. They were 600 feet tall and were devouring all the food of the Earth including humans. The nephilim were a major reason for the great flood. After the flood, their bodies died but their spirits being half angel couldn't die. They have remained here on Earth as disembodied spirits. These spirits are one of the perpetrators of possessions although possession by fallen angels takes place also. Living without bodies is such a horrible existence that they would rather live in pigs than be without bodies, as one of the stories of Jesus relates. These are the reasons why Satan is at war with us humans. Satan knows that some of us are destined to replace him in heaven ruling with our Lord. Satan is determined to stop or thwart God's plan as best he can.

Satan is a master general; he does not use his forces where they are not needed. As with the parable of the wheat and weeds. God only has plans for the wheat. The weeds are destined for the fire. There is no point for Satan to use his armies to contend with the weeds. They are already lost. Satan focuses his forces on the wheat. Those of us who have the ability to be of use to our Father, we are the targets of Satan. This is why the evil seem to have boundless good luck and the good always find hardship. It is said that no one comes to the Father unless the spirit draws them. Therefore if you feel the pull of God, if you want to be with our Lord rejoice He hasn't forgotten you. He hasn't given up on you. Don't give up on God and don't give up on yourself. Every prophecy that comes before the return of our Lord in the air to take the church to heaven for the seven year reign of the antichrist has been fulfilled. The final chess pieces are being moved into place. We are on the verge of seeing chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation come to fruition. Be happy that you have tribulation. That is your proof that you are a threat to Satan and a useful servant God. Look for the coming of the Lord and He will collect you and take you to the Barn.

Economic Lesson

2010-01-20T12:45:00.000-08:00

Shep Smith was talking to Chris Wallace on the show today. Shep asked how can the administration fix the economy and create jobs if the right side of the aisle won't vote for it. This shows a basic misunderstanding of economics. First of all the government doesn't create jobs unless your talking about expanding government. Government jobs don't help the economy, because that only moves money from one part of the economy to another. Second, assuming that the right won't vote for the left's solutions presumes that their solutions are the correct ones. All the administrations solutions so far have been government spending and regulations. The answer to fixing the economy and letting the private sector create jobs involves getting the government out of the way. Fixing the economy requires lowering taxes and everything the government has done has raised taxes or would raise taxes. That's why the right won't vote for the left's solutions. The solutions of the left are wrong. Why doesn't Shep ask why the left won't vote for the rights solutions? They just don't get economics or politics for that matter. Those of you who think Fox News isn't balanced, I give you Shep Smith and Chris Wallace as examples.

Obama's Mistake, Haiti's Failure

2010-01-16T18:16:00.000-08:00

The left is already using the misery in Haiti to try to show that President Obama is superior to President Bush. Multiple articles have appeared stating how Obama's administration is already handling this disaster better than the previous administration handled Katrina. This is a huge mistake for the Obamamaniacs. The Haiti earthquake and hurricane Katrina highlight the same problem. When local authorities don't prepare for disasters there is little outsiders can do quickly in the event of a disaster. Local governments have to use there funds to prepare for disasters. Local authorities must train and already be set up to handle disasters. This isn't the first time Americans have sent piles of money to Haiti. This isn't the first disaster to hit Haiti. At some point citizens have to be responsible for their own government. If your government is wasting money and politicians are getting rich looting the public coffers citizens have the responsibility to correct the situation. It's better to die trying to improve your country than it is to die from neglect and abuse from your own government. The world can send billions to Haiti but if the people of Haiti don't ensure that the money is spent responsibly then they are doomed to suffer the same tragedy they are suffering now. Haiti was a disaster before the earthquake. A quick comparison of the Dominican Republic to Haiti shows that. Just as the people of New Orleans are to blame for not being prepared for disaster, so are the people of Haiti. Now that disaster has struck, it will take time for the world to come to their aid. Time that many in Haiti will not have. The Obama administration will soon learn what the local governments of New Orleans found out, you have to be prepared for disasters locally. All the aid in the world won't help if it takes too long to get there. Piles of money being thrown at a problem doesn't help if its not spent responsibly. My prayers go to the people of Haiti.
