The World’s Coming Nuclear Holocaust – A Biblical Perspective

“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." (1 Thess. 5:2-3)

Good Intentions... Lead to Destruction

President Obama - who is doing all he can to reduce America and this nation to a ruinous ash heap - has now sought to reduce our nuclear arsenal some 80%. American have always showed strength to those who hate us and our large arsenal of nukes has been key to keeping this world from an all out nuclear war by the tyrants of the world. Also a few years ago, President Obama’s 47-nation nuclear summit met in Washington D.C. in April to discuss the reduction of nuclear weapons, dealing with nuclear terrorism and nuclear retaliation regulations. As Obama and these nations have made their “pledges” for nuclear reduction, the secular liberal media have added their praises and accolades in an attempt to persuade and deceive many about the delusional prospects of world peace. Very soon the global mantra to be heard will be peace, peace… then sudden destruction! (Ref. 1 Thess. 5:2-3) - Nuclear Blast Video - link

Castro's Recent Predictions

.

Fidel Castro recently made these statements about a coming global nuclear war, "One man alone will have to make the decision: The president of the United States because Iran will not bow to U.S. and Israeli demands to halt its nuclear program". .
If Obama approves an attack on Iran, he added, he will trigger a war that will spread through the Middle East and Asia and cause the instantaneous death of hundreds of millions people, among them an incalculable number of people in his own country.
Castro added, "The established order of the planet ... will inevitably collapse, the reigning social order will disappear abruptly'' and all currencies will be worthless, he added" (Miami-Dade News). Little does he know how absolutely right he is!

The tyrannical fascists of the world are smacking their lips at these idiotic and gullible gestures by these world leaders that show their foolishness and delusional good intentions by them.

..

The tyrannical fascists of the world are smacking their lips at these idiotic and gullible gestures by these world leaders that show their foolish and delusional good intentions by them. The stark reality of this situation is that since we live in a fallen world (Romans 1:18-32; 3:23; 5:12-19), it is not within the scope of mankind's ability to live in peace and harmony (Psalm 14:1-3). The “I’d like to buy the world a coke” philosophy of these naive dreamers is the very substance that world dictators prey on and devour.

In 6,000 years of human history, there has only been a "blip" of time and space where people have not been at war. It is America’s strong nuclear presence that has been the main deterrent from attack by the enemies of freedom against us and our allies. This has been - under the auspices of Divine Providence - the main reason why we have NOT yet seen a global nuclear war (including any detonation of a nuclear weapon against a sovereign nation since 1945). As Ronald Reagan so soberly stated:

“Since the dawn of the atomic age, we've sought to reduce the risk of war by maintaining a strong deterrent and by seeking genuine arms control. Deterrence means simply this: Making sure any adversary who thinks about attacking the United States or our allies or our vital interests concludes that the risks to him outweigh any potential gains. Once he understands that, he won't attack. We maintain the peace through our strength. Weakness only invites aggression. This strategy of deterrence has not changed. It still works.”

Almighty God’s Providential Hand
.

.The present world has forsaken and abandoned the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. Our nation has also forsaken Almighty God and His Natural Laws, and because of that we are at the precipice of a total social and moral collapse. Never before have we been so morally weak and vulnerable to attack. Once America’s restraining power is removed from the world stage, there will be absolutely nothing to stop the godless deluge of secular oppression, tyranny and global anti-Semitism that will follow in its wake. As the world’s conservative Judeo/ Christian influence is being readily and rapidly removed, the restraining Dam of Natural Laws will burst and the flood of lawlessness and secularism will devour the whole earth (Isaiah 24; Matt. 5:13, 24; Rev. 6-19).

.

It is ONLY because of the absolute sovereignty and providential management of Almighty God over this fallen world that a single instance of a nuclear bomb attack has not occurred since 1945.

.
It is this writer’s personal opinion that it is ONLY because of the absolute sovereignty and providential management of Almighty God over this fallen world that even a single instance of a nuclear bomb attack has not occurred since 1945. He is reserving this global carnage by the wrath of man for the time called Tribulation Period or Day of the Lord (Matt. 24; Rev. 6:1-8; 9:14-18).

The Coming Global Nuclear Holocaust
.

.A popular prophetic question that is always asked is, “Is nuclear war mentioned in the Bible, and if so, when will it take place?”

Nuclear war is not mentioned specifically in the Holy Scriptures, but in looking at the context of events pertaining to the last days, we can see without a doubt that it has to take place, and the devastation that results is inconceivable.

Again, it is only due to the merciful hand of Almighty God that our fallen world has been preserved intact and all the madmen bent on its destruction held in check. Lucifer’s mad designs and man’s violent tendencies have been kept at bay until the given time (Isaiah 14:16-17; Eph. 2:1; Rev. 20:3a).

Today’s global arsenal of nuclear weapons makes the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like little firecrackers in comparison. The devastation unleashed by these doomsday weapons will be horrific, e.g., the Tsar 50 megaton bomb. Once these catastrophic weapons of destruction are let loose, billions will perish. As we shall soon see, man’s thirst and appetite for power and control will load the 7-year Tribulation Period with catastrophic devastation and horrendous carnage unparalleled in the annals of human history (Matt 24:21; James 4:1-3). In just a matter of hours, these events will dramatically change the global political landscape and structure of the world as we currently know it. In the horrific wake of the world’s global nuclear decimation, the inhabitants still alive on the earth will be left dumbstruck. Historically, a total seizure of power first requires a brutal and bloody war. This desensitizes and eliminates any organized threat from the populace. Lucifer (the devil) knows this and will seek to fill peoples’ hearts with hatred, bitterness and wrath. He will use all of this narcissistic rage, inconsolable grief and hostility to establish HIS throne and to wage war on Almighty God (Rev. 9:20-21; 16:11). Lucifer will then stoke the wrath of man into a full-blown rebellion against his Creator and all who are called by Almighty God (Rev. 13). He will channel their rage and hatred in waging war against Almighty God and believers in the True Messiah (Christ), who is the Savior of the world (Rev. 11:2-10; 13:7; 17:12-14). Nuclear war is just one aspect of the horrific events that will transpire during the Tribulation Period. This does not include the global natural disasters, supernatural judgments, demonic oppression and tyranny which will also take place alongside nuclear war (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19). The awesome and frightful realities of global carnage, natural disasters, demonic possession and supernatural judgments will open wide the door for Lucifer and his master fascist (the Anti-Christ) to deceive, seize, exploit and conquer the world for their ultimate goal and design, i.e., the worship of and absolute power over the entire world (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12).
.

In just a matter of hours, these events will dramatically change the global political landscape and structure of the world as we currently know it.

'
Let us look and see what the Holy Scripture states emphatically about the future global nuclear war which is at our very “doorstep.” The Holy Scriptures state that the “Four Horsemen War” in the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation Period destroys one fourth (1.75 billion people) of the world’s population (Rev. 6:1-8). A full one fourth!

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 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. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth" (Rev. 6:1-8).

Scripture also states that soon after one fourth of the world’s population is destroyed in this manner, there will be a far more horrendous war to follow. This second great global war incited by the release of four demonic hellions will cause one third of the remaining global population (or another 1.75 BILLION PEOPLE) to be destroyed!

"Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand (200,000,000): and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths" (Rev. 9:14-18).

These two brief global nuclear wars (i.e., the “Four Horsemen” War and the “Quad-Demonic” War) will decimate the world’s social landscape and fully remove half (or 3.5 BILLION PEOPLE) of the world’s human population in just a short while during the Tribulation Period. How sobering is that! In light of the coming global nuclear holocaust, Obama’s Nuclear Summit should have instead addressed the importance of Almighty God and having a saving relationship to Him! The “War Pigs” of power of fallen man are coming soon to your neighborhood!
.

The “Four Horsemen” War and the “Quad-Demonic” War will decimate the world’s social landscape and fully remove half (or 3.5 BILLION PEOPLE) of the world’s human population in just a short while during the Tribulation Period.

According to Almighty God’s Holy Word, this global devastation brought on by wicked men - and allowed by Almighty God - must take place. Nothing can or will stop this coming global holocaust. It is the only destiny and destination of fallen man and his evil heart (Isa. 57:20; 59:8; Amos 3:10; James 4:2)
.
Here He Comes!
.

.During this time when man is pummeled and ravished by global war, the nations of the world and its remaining inhabitants will already have abandoned Almighty God’s natural laws and been given over to their unbridled passions and godless philosophies (2 Thess. 2:9-12). That is why this time is also called the Time of Lawlessness (2 Thess. 2:7-12). In rampant unbelief these will look for a man (not God) to be their savior. They will thus believe “the Lie” (2 Thess. 2:11-12), and look to Lucifer as their god and the Man of Lawlessness (Anti-Christ) as their savior. In their allegiance to Lucifer and his Anti-Christ, the haters of reality and righteousness will “sign over” their eternal souls and face the awesome consequences of perdition (destruction) in the Lake of Fire forever (Rev. 13:16; 14:9-11). One can just imagine the absolute height of insanity of the world’s population at this time as they seal and surrender their eternal destinies to the brief tyrannical aspirations of Lucifer and his Anti-Christ (Rev. 13:4-18). These will be loyal to their Master’s bidding and seek to eradicate any who contradict the fascist designs of the New World Order (Dan. 7:21; Rev. 13:7; 17:12-14).

The Reality of the Righteous

Apart from the saving grace of Almighty God, there is absolutely NO HOPE for this fallen world! Such faith in fallen man is just blind, wishful thinking and a naive idiocy that becomes the height of insanity (2 Thess. 2:10-12). What will it take for individuals to realize this? It takes the abandonment of one’s own perception and human thinking, a boldness to look "outside the box" and have faith in Almighty God and His Word. It is only when we choose to believe God and His Word that we will see the realities of time and eternity. It is only then that we will embrace His great love for us and begin to comprehend the wonders of His grace (Rom. 2:4; Eph. 1:7; 2:7). How sobering it is to all who reject God’s love and choose to abide in their transgressions forever! This is graphically depicted in the artist’s rendition of Dante’s Inferno, where the writing on the sign at the gates of the Lake of Fire reads: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE!

Won’t you make the right decision to choose life instead of death, blessing instead of cursing (Deut. 30:19)? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? If you do not, call on Him today (Rom. 10:13)! It is in Him alone that we have the forgiveness of sins and are granted everlasting life. As this down-spiraling world comes to its climatic end, may your faith and trust be found resting solely in the Wonderful Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. You will never be the same, and you will never regret making that momentous decision!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Where is America in Biblical Prophecy?

Satan's Abomination of Desolation and Christ's Salvation of Desolation

What We All Deserve

The other day I was talking to Kipp Greggory, our morning talk show host, during whose program this radio blog broadcast airs. We do not see each other very often, but when we do, it’s a fast-paced gab fest! He brought up a point of aggravation to him that amazed me, because it is something that bothers my husband and me, as well, and I have not heard anyone else make the point. It is the profusion of advertising that appeals to the prevalent sense of entitlement that infects many people in our society today.

You have heard the ads on the radio. You have seen them on television. Whatever product is being pushed, the message is often phrased in the “you deserve” angle. “Get the credit you deserve.” “Get the home you deserve.” “Get the job you deserve.” “Get the body you deserve.” “Get the love life you deserve.” “Get the good night’s sleep you deserve.” The list goes on and on, and is enough to drive you crazy, if you are paying attention to such foolish messaging.

I think one of the earliest incarnations of this dumb message was by McDonalds, when it launched the early-1970s “You deserve a break today” ad campaign. Yes, we all deserved our splendid pick from a delightful fast food menu.

What is it that bothers me so much about this message? Well, for one thing, it is stupid. How can we logically conclude that we “deserve” any of the things the advertising world pushes at us? If we have eaten ourselves into five sizes too big, how can we justify believing that we “deserve” to have a body like the beautiful, trim model on the exercise machine pictured on television? If we have spent ourselves into a chasm of debt, how can we imagine we should get the credit we “deserve”? It makes no sense, except to a mind blinded by lazy, selfish greed.

But, the bottom line of why this message irks me is the fact that I know what we all deserve, and some of you will not like to hear it. We all deserve death. Yes, death. Whether we like it or not, and whether we even accept it or not, we are accountable to our Creator. God is. And, we owe him our very existence, because we cannot take a breath without receiving it from Him. All we have comes from Him (and we think we earned it on our own). He made us and all we see, and He has a standard of perfection that none of us can achieve. His law requires perfect obedience, but not one of us could ever perfectly obey, and God’s penalty for breaking His law is death, which is eternal separation from Him.

God knew from before He created time and set us in it that we would choose sin and death, and Adam wasted no time in making that choice in the Garden, so God, Who loves us infinitely, made a way, a bridge, between God and man. That bridge is God the Father’s only Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus willingly took on the form of fallen mankind and lived a sinless life—not once did He break God’s law—and He offered Himself up as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. He gave His life—no one took it from him, because no one could. He took upon Himself the death we all deserve.

There is no other way to God, except through His Son. Yes, it is exclusive. That is why Jesus said that broad is the way that leads to destruction—with the many, many false religions, false versions of Christianity and idols in the world—and many people go down that deadly path, but narrow is the gate that leads to life, and few find it. Jesus is that Gate.

I suppose this message of salvation is what makes the “you deserve”-entitlement-mentality advertising so sinister. The very message of “you deserve” is a lie, and although I realize lots of advertising is lies, this lie is somehow worse, because it directly contradicts the truth of God’s Word. It serves to lift man up on his own mini-god pedestal, where he “deserves” the finest things this world has to offer, and if he is up there on his lofty perch, how can he see himself as the hopeless wretch he truly is, who is in desperate need of salvation? He can’t.

The message of salvation is plain and simple, and it is a sweet fragrance to those who embrace it, but it is a stench to those who refuse it as they perish. The Apostle John transcribed the words of Jesus in this powerful passage,

“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. "

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

The fact that we are moving around and living our lives is a testament to God’s great patience and mercy. Most of us do not get what we deserve in a timely manner. God gives us countless chances to turn to Him and accept the free gift of salvation through Jesus. I thank God that I will not get what I deserve, for though I stumble on a daily basis, when I die, I will not experience eternal separation from Him. I will be covered by the blood of Jesus. Thanks be to my Father in Heaven!

The principle of getting what we deserve also applies to the shabby state of our nation today. The Word of the Lord through the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians states one of God’s immutable truths,

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

America turned its collective back on God several decades ago. Those among us who despise God and Christ have worked hellishly and feverishly to force even the mention of the Lord’s name out of the public square, and those of us who love the Lord allowed it to happen with hardly a fight. What do we suppose we deserve as a nation for spitting in His holy face? We have the degenerate society we deserve. We have the corrupt government we deserve. We have the wicked public education system we deserve, which cranks out the godless, socialist automatons we deserve (Occupy Wall Street, anyone?). We have the criminal fraud of a President we deserve.

And, unless this nation somehow makes a sharp, right-hand U-turn to the Lord, we will continue to get the hell we deserve in increasing measure. But, no matter how bad things get in our country and the world, each of us individually has the opportunity—as long as we are still alive—to accept God’s free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. If you have not already done so, please accept Him while you still can, so that you can possess true peace, wisdom and knowledge during your time on this earth, and so that on that great and terrible Day of the Lord, you will not get what you deserve.

The Ten Commandments Challenge - Are You Good Enough For Heaven?

A Biblical Perspective of the Death of Whitney Houston

How tragic it is when a fallen human being gives themselves over to the base and lawless practices of this little world and sell their souls to find satisfaction and contentment by living a godless and lawless life (Psalm 14:1-3, Rom. 3; 5:12-21, Gal. 6:7-8, Jude 1:11-13). Whitney Houston is now to be added to the list of countless pop and rock "stars" who - by excess - have imploded on themselves by seeking to find fulfilment in this "life" by means of fame, sex, drugs and alcohol. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Janice Joplin, Brain Jones, Kevin Dubrow, Brad Delp, Layne Staley, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain etc... etc... all were idolized by the masses of fallen humanity, all were iconic trend setters, all possessed a power house persona and ALL rebelled and raged against their Creator unto their OWN demise (Rom. 3).

These sell their souls to find satisfaction and contentment by living a godless and lawless life.

Sadly, the unregenerated lawless subjective masses of humanity will - in ignorance - mourn for Whitney and wonder why and how all of this could be? They will state, "Why would someone with so much talent and fame come to a tragic end?" "How tragic!" "Oh... what could of been IF only...??" Sadly, if these mourners were presented with the REALITY which is found in Almighty God's Word (i.e., the Bible) about Whitney Houston's many demons, the overwhelming masses of this group would scoff at Almighty God's saving grace and join also in the lawless rebellion chorus and rage against their Creator, His RIGHTEOUS demands and against His saving remedy and solution for all of Adam's fallen race (John 3:16-17, Rom. 2:4, 5:12-21). Only Almighty God has ALL of the answers to this fallen world's horrific dilemmas and unsolvable problems. This human scenario is as old as man and has been acted out countless times since man's fall in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3, Eccl, Rom. 5:12-21).

All were idolized by the masses of fallen humanity, all were iconic trend setters, all possessed a power house persona and all rebelled and raged against their Creator unto their demise.

The Old Testament Book of Ecclesiastes is the tragic biography of Adam’s fallen race (i.e., humanity) told by the wisest of all men, King Solomon. King Solomon possessed it all: wisdom, brilliance, discernment, authority, prestige, riches/ wealth, property/ possessions, power, fame, women and glory. Amazingly, as he was reflecting on his life in his last days, he made this very sobering and tragic statement: “Vanity of vanities…all is vanity” (Eccl. 1:1-15, 12:7-8).
.

In possessing all of this stature and achievement, it never satisfied the ETERNAL void of his heart. All of it did not - and could not - yield peace and contentment. In the end, all of Solomon's great achievements and pomp could never deliver him in the hour of his death. To Solomon, all indeed was truly dust in the wind...

Dust in the Wind, the title of a song released by the group Kansas in the late 1970’s, is a melancholy piece regarding the terrible uncertainties and brevity of earthly existence. There is no certainty, no hope, no expectation, no solution and no deliverance. The song is painted with pessimistic colors and presents a bleak and tragic picture with absolute abandonment and no salvation to be found. All we are is dust in the wind….

All we are is dust in the wind.

What the majority of humanity (and the song) greatly misses is that WITHOUT Almighty God, our Creator and Sustainer and His righteousness, all is indeed an absolute tragedy, vanity and dust in the wind (Psalm 39:5). My friend, that was NEVER Almighty God’s plan and purpose for His creation (Rom. 5:12-21). It is Almighty God’s sincerest desire that all would come to the saving knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ and have ETERNAL Life. The Bible states:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:16-17)

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die…?" (Ezekiel 33:11)

"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost" (Matt 18:11)

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matt 11:28-30)

Jesus said, "The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10)

Your existence here in time does not have to end in vanity. Almighty God has a great future plan and purpose for your life.
.

But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9)

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25)

"And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever" (Rev. 22:5)

Without Almighty God’s remedy for our sinful condition which is found only in the Person of His Son Jesus Christ, indeed all is truly vanity and dust in the wind.
.

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? " (Matt 16:26)

"Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah" (Psalm 39:5).

"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Rev 20:11-15).
.

In the end, Solomon fully comprehended that Almighty God was absolutely essential for the existence of man. To know Him is life ETERNAL with great expectation and purpose!

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil" (Eccl. 12:13,14)

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? To know Him is to have ETERNAL Life and possess ETERNAL Hope. May it be your sincere desire to know the One that made it all possible for you to have all of God’s highest and best for your life - both here in time and also for ETERNITY.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

An Objective Look At The Michael Jackson Memorial Service in Light of God’s Word

America’s Deborah - Sarah Palin at CPAC

Much like the days of Deborah, we here in America seem to have the same settings and lawless crisis sweeping throughout our land at an exponential rate. There truly has not been a great American conservative (socially and fiscally) leader in this land since Ronald Reagan, some 25 years ago till Sarah Palin. As Sarah does best, she brought this years CPAC convention to a rousing conclusion firing up TRUE American's and taking it to the socialists and their leader "Mr. Hope and Change". Video

What America so desperately needs more than ever is one who has the same God fearing, moral compass and vision that our founding fathers had at the birth of this nation.

What America so desperately needs more then ever is one who has the same God fearing, moral compass and vision that our founding fathers had at the birth of this nation. How many individuals in this nation today who hold political office out right REJECT our founding father's Judeo/Christian values, vision and understanding of what has made America great these last 235 years? There are not many men with courage, who are fearless, who posses sound moral conviction, boldness, passion, understanding of our day and the leadership to bring us back to the place of blessing and to the sound health of American values, which were based NOT on lawlessness, but on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God!

There is only one that I know of who possess all of these qualities and who is from the heartland of these great United States. This one is not from the "Ivy League" palaces of academia. This one rejects secularism, lawlessness, socialism, progressivism and elitism. Absolutes are NOT relative. Morality CANNOT be explained away for licentiousness. Lawlessness can NEVER bring harmony only anarchy. America has indeed apostatized from the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Constitutional apostates have ruled the land these last 70 years and with them they bring social tyranny, injustice, violence, death, lawlessness, oppression, licentiousness, fiscal tyranny, anarchy and ruin (Isa. 1:9). It has finally taken the near social and fiscal collapses of this nation to stir up Americans and to see our desperate need to fight and to take back their country from those who fundamentally oppose all that our founders intended.
.

It has finally taken the near social and fiscal collapses of this nation to stir up Americans and to see our desperate need to fight and to take back their country from those who fundamentally oppose all that our founders intended.

Out of the midst of our nation has risen many - but one in particular - whose love for God and country has placed her on the center stage of the 2012 Presidential election. One who the masses of common folk greatly respect and admire. One who has become a “mother” in these United States of America in an hour of crisis. One who has the vision and passion that our founders once possessed. And finally, one who has a fear of Almighty God to govern her and to do the right thing in these last days of America. Whether Sarah will ever run for president or not nobody knows, but just her presence these last few years has fired up the true American spirit and has rallied the masses to stand and take their country back!

One to whom the masses of common folk greatly respect and admire. One who has become a “mother” in these United States of America.

It is in times like these that the remnant – to whom possess the true spirit of America and its founding - of masses cry out to the God of George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush – who all possessed a saving relationship to Almighty God – that Almighty God in His kindness may show this nation a little of His grace and mercy before the "Day of the Lord" arrives! We whose nation’s motto is, “In God Do We Trust”!

Sarah Palin is that leader in whom God has seemed to have risen up to stand for the vision that our founders once possessed. She (Sarah) possesses all of the founding father's American qualities and is the right leader for the right time.

She (Sarah) possesses all of the founding father's American qualities and is the right leader for the right time.

The sunset is going down fast on America and "the Day of the Lord" will soon be at hand. May it be that Almighty God will grant this nation a little more space so that His Word may continue to go out and that the masses of American people would repent and fully turn to Him (Rom. 2:4).

Whether Sarah will ever run or not nobody knows, but just her presence these last few years has fired up the true American spirit and has rallied the masses to stand and take their country back!.

The trumpet may blow at any time, but while we are here waiting the Lord’s soon return, may we all do our part to help slow the flood of lawlessness and lawlessness that has saturated or society and nation. May it be our sincere desire to pray for America and it awakening to the realities at hand. For in the end, whatever becomes of her, our hope is NOT in America and our Constitution, but our HOPE is in Almighty God and in His Son Jesus Christ (Col. 1:27, 1 Tim. 1:1 )! Always remember my dear friends in the light of these temporal settings the BIG picture, that the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!

A Review of Mark Levin’s New Book Ameritopia from a Biblical Perspective

First of all let me tell you how much I like Mark Levin, who is known by many conservative media icons as “the Great One”. I personally was totally looking forward to Mark’s new book and knew that it would be an excellent read or listen if you have an IPod.

Mark starts out in his new book looking at the spectrum of philosophic views and utopian ideals of six men, their published works and ideologies, Plato, Thomas Moore, Thomas Hobbs, Vladimir Lenin, John Locke, Charles Secondat Baron de Montesquieu and the Founding Fathers. Each look gives great insight into how these men and their ideals have highly influenced people throughout mankind’s fallen history. It also reveals the utter bankruptcy of their delusional ideals and theories to manage fallen man in a fallen world. These authors and philosophers seek to answer the age old dilemma of fallen man from a subjective frail human point of view (Gen. 3, Rom. 1:18-21).

The “Utopians” – as Levin refers to these secular philosophers are - ever seeking to put humpy dumpty back together again by means of a strong despotic ruler or a elite ruling class.

The “Utopians” – as Levin refers to these secular philosophers are - ever seeking to put humpy dumpty back together again by means of a strong despotic ruler or a elite ruling class. They are ever seeking to control man’s yearning for freedom and their unbridled passions by shackling them to confining and oppressive laws, regulations and restrictions in which these despots seek to achieve their “utopian” delusion. How tragic it is to think of the countless millions who have been subjected to these godless delusions over the centuries only to find endless wars and oppression among the sons of Adam. These godless masses throughout the centuries have all had their God given freedoms removed from them and replaced with the shackles of tyranny and oppression. Communism, national socialism, socialistic secular democracies, oppressive monarchies’ all have been derived from the delusional utopian visions of godless men. From Nebuchadnezzar to the Caesars to Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Hirohito, Castro, Saddam Hussein and Barak Obama these godless men are all delusional utopians seeking to reach the pinnacle of perfection with a host of ideologies that cover the philosophical spectrum. Levin points out that Utopianism - in the end - is nothing more than despotism.

Levin then looks at others like Locke, Montesquieu and our Founding Fathers who sought to be more realistic and have chosen to follow the absolutes of the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. Locke states that, “Natural Law rules over all so all are equal”. It is the adhering to the Laws of Nature and of Natures God’s that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Though Levin does not state this in his book, the adherence to the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God is a good practice but at its heart is also a utopian philosophy. The ideal - that conservatism and the adherence to the Laws of Nature can establish a utopian state – is also very flawed in its theory, for we as fallen men live in a fallen and fractured world. This objective reality needs to be pointed out to Levin, Limbaugh and others that the “conservative utopia dream” is also a delusion. This conservative delusion is continually preached by the elite and heavy hitters in the conservative media to the masses. This delusional conservative utopian perspective is what give countless conservative American’s a false hope in light of the future establishment of the Almighty God’s Kingdom of Heaven.

“Natural Law rules over all so all are equal”

Levin does a great job pointing out the two camps of human reasoning (subjective and objective) and points out the contrasts between objective political reasoning and subjective political reasoning. To the Utopian, the Laws of Nature are tyrannical. To the adherer, the Laws of Nature, give great freedom and liberty. To the Utopian, human God given rights are to be sacrificed for the betterment of the state and its despotic leader. To the adherer to the Laws of Nature, the government is to be subject to the Laws of Nature and its people. To the Utopian, the state is to be served. To the Adherer of Natural Laws, government is to serve the people. In the end, tyranny and poverty are always the end result of the Utopian political state, while in a society that honors the Laws of Nature, prosperity, personal freedom and liberty with personal responsibility abound!

At the end of the book Levin looks at the regulating of America since the 30’s and a look at Obama gone wild. What is most tragic about this book and its author is that - in the end -Levin offers absolutely no hope for America, mankind and their future. Levin optimistically states, we can only hope that the American people will rise up before it is too late and reclaim America. Tragically, Levin himself offers up a “hail Mary” bomb into the end zone in which there are no receivers, no solutions and no answers for his readers in this fallen world. Like it or not Levin himself is a conservative utopian seeking to answer the dilemmas of this fallen world with conservatism, a relative faith in “a God” and ETERNAL optimism.

Tragically, Levin himself offers up a “hail Mary” bomb into the end zone in which there are no receivers, no solutions and no answers for his readers in this fallen world.

/
Tragically, Levin is not alone in this camp and his conservative contemporary preachers optimistically preach to the masses the virtues of conservatism without any REALITY in their utopian vision. Judeo/ Christian relativism is the most damnable heresy in are world today. It looks so good and noble but in the end there is absolutely no RIGHTEOUS PERFECTION which is demanded by Almighty God and no Savior (Rom. 10:2-4). In this conservative utopian ideal there is absolutely NO REALITY to the realities of time, no ETERNAL comprehension of man’s future, no RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and mankind’s individual and personal accountability to their Creator in Spirit and ABSOLUTE TRUTH (Matt. 7:21-23, Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:2-4, Eph. 2:8-9). The conservative today DOES NOT truly want to acknowledge the REALITIES of Almighty God’s Word and His redemptive remedy for ALL mankind, which is ONLY found in the Person of Jesus Messiah (John 3:16-16,36, Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:2-4). They may acknowledge these truths, but they DO NOT possess them.

The REALITY of this hour is that since Adam’s fall and Babel, ALL political and spiritual ideologies (secular and conservative) and their utopian philosophies have FAILED miserably. All these utopian ideals which have dominated fallen mankind’s quest for peace IN A FALLEN WORLD will finally climax to the pinnacle of their failures during a time called the Day of the Lord. It will be under the LAWLESS despot called the Anti Christ that tyranny and oppression will reach its zenith. The final utopian’s ideal and vision for this fallen world will be horrific and EXPONENTIALLY lawless (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13). It will be at the end of this seven year period called the Day of Wrath that Almighty God the Son, Creator and King will come out of Heaven’s glory and crush this global state rebellion and then the Messiah himself will establish His 1000 year reign on earth in RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE (Dan. 7:13-14, Rev. 19:11-21). It will be under this reign of the Creator that a fallen world will prosper as never before (Isa.11:1-10, 35). Jesus Messiah - the Designer and Creator - will enforce the adherence to the Laws of Nature and will rule with a rod of iron (Rev. 19:15).

It will be at the end of this seven year period called the Day of Wrath that Almighty God the Son, Creator and King will come out of Heaven’s glory and crush this global state rebellion and then the Messiah himself will establish His 1000 year reign on earth in RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE.

It will be during this 1000 year period - that those who survive the seven year tribulation and remain after Messiah’s judgment of nations - will thrive (they and their offspring) and enjoy Almighty God’s creation and freedom as NEVER before (Matt. 13:30,38-43, 49-50)! This is the TRUE utopian vision that all of Adam’s fallen race should embrace for this is Almighty God’s utopian REALITY which is to come upon the earth!

What is EXPONENTIALLY amazing is at the end of Messiah’s 1000 year reign, Almighty God will let out the Mastermind of delusion and lawlessness (i.e., Lucifer) to test the hearts of men. It will be at the end of this 1000 year reign of unimaginable prosperity, health, freedom and RIGHTEOUSNESS that unsaved men of this time will abandon REALITY and follow Lucifer in the world’s final rebellion (Rev. 20:7-10). These rebels - which are as the sand of the sea - who have experienced the Fruit of Righteousness will long to be free from it! These rebellious masses - in the end – will follow Satan in his perpetual delusion to live a godless existence without the ETERNAL Creator of Heaven and Earth (Rev. 20:7-10). This final rebellion will be crushed and Almighty God will then institute the ETERNAL estate (Rev. 20:10-15, 21-22:1-5). This ETERNAL estate will consist of a NEW Heavens and Earth (Isa. 65:17, Rev. 21, 22:1-5) and the ETERNAL prison called the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). In the end the personal choices of an individual will cement their ETERNAL destinies. For one, the ETERNAL fellowship in PEACE and RIGHTEOUSNESS with their Creator and Savior (Rev. 21, 22:1-5) and for the other, an ETERNITY of suffering the RIGHTEOUS judgment of Almighty God in ETERNITY’S ETERNAL prison (Rev. 20:11-15).

The utopian dream my dear friend is ONLY to be found in the reality of Almighty God’s solution for fallen man. Almighty God has made provision in His dear Son for all to enjoy His ETERNAL utopia in RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE.

There are NO utopias here in this fallen world (conservative or secular). The utopian dream my dear friend is ONLY to be found in the reality of Almighty God’s solution for fallen man. Almighty God has made provision in His dear Son for all to enjoy His ETERNAL utopia in RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE but it is up to the individual to personally choose it or not.

What will you choose? Will you follow the voices and delusional theories of fallen men or will you believe your Creator and Redeemer and enter into to the joy that He has so prepared for all (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 22:1-5). It is Almighty God’s pure desire that all would come to the saving knowledge of His dear Son Jesus Christ for that is what this life is all about (John 3:16-17, 1 Tim 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9).

Mark, a most excellent read my dear friend... but you need to know the Savior (the Messiah of Israel) of the world to know what true utopianism is all about! May it be so!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The Greece Financial Crisis and the E.U. – A Biblical Perspective

Following today's radio interview with Jimmy DeYoung's Prophecy Today, I thought I would send out a CNBC to expand on my comments on the Greek Crisis. This is not an in depth study, just quick thoughts to help you understand what is happening. Unlike most of my CNBC, this will only cover that subject. So if you are not interested in the coming global empire of Daniel 7, the EU, single world currency, and the Greek financial crisis, you may wish to skip this newsletter.

Many have enquired as to my thoughts about Greece and its financial difficulties in the European Union. I would begin by pointing out that the current financial problem of Greece is a result of massive past spending and social programs in the country. Greece's total debt as a percent of its Gross Domestic Product (ability to produce) is at 115.1%. That means that technically, Greece can never fully repay its debt without some adjustment of the amounts owed.

Added to this problem is the fact that its annual budget has a deficit of 13.6%. This far exceeds the Eurozone maximum of 3%. (The Eurozone consists of the 16 EU nations using the euro for its currency.) Again, this means simply that not only has Greece spent too much in the past, but just paying the interest, prevents them from ever getting ahead.

Normally a government tries to borrow money by selling bonds; to pay its current debts while reducing spending. Unfortunately for Greece, no one wants to buy the bonds unless Greece offers a very high rate of return to the investor. In other words, they want a big payback if they are going to risk investing in Greece. But various investment advisories now indicate that Greek bonds are junk and as a result has led to the fear that investors will lose money.

Both the European Union's Eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund have offered to help bailout Greece. The IMF is an international organization that oversees the global financial system. It is headquartered in Washington and consists of 186 countries, including the United States. It is a result of the Benton Woods Agreement of 1944 (see CMI Whitepaper 1 -Gearing up the Economy for the Tribulation?).

Were Greece the only country seeking a bailout, the problem would be handled relatively easily. But many more countries are following a similar financial road, including the United States. The result is a fear of a domino effect within the Eurozone; specifically Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain. The true danger is if Spain defaults. Spain's economy is so large (5x that of Greece) that it failure could impact the financial world of the entire European Union and ultimately across the globe. Bailout appears prohibitive because of the size of Spain's potential failure.

The Current Situation

The EU (basically Germany and France) and the IMF are working on the final agreement to help Greece. In addition, the Greek government recently has initiated many cost reduction programs. As a result tens of thousands (mostly government workers and unions) have gathered in Athens to protest the government cutbacks. The tensions have made the government leery of further cost cutting reforms. Suggesting a possible domino effect, Portugal's credit rating has just been lowered, along with Spain's rating (lowered from AA+ to AA).

Possible Scenarios

1. Best case scenario: a $59.4 bn bailout for Greece that is united with Greek government cutbacks. The result - it would give Greece some "wiggleroom" to work on long-term solutions.

2. Debt restructuring: telling the creditors that they will get some of their money back. It is estimated that they could lose 20 to 50% on their investment. The result - the euro would loss some value, which would hurt all Eurozone countries; for fewer people would want the euro and less investment in EU countries using the euro.

3. Greece dropping the euro as its currency: A single Eurozone country cannot lower the value of their currency, so Greece can only do this by abandoning the euro as their currency and return to a devalued drachma. In all probability, this would be a "Eurozone holiday" with Greece eventually returning to the euro. The result - in the interim everything purchased from Greece would be cheaper and would boost the economy, united with higher taxes, debt would decline. But this would weaken the push for a single global currency and would suggest the euro is not the solution to the world's financial problems. The EU would avoid this at all costs.

4. Greece would default all debt: this would deeply affect the economies of Germany and France, holders of 70% of the debt. The result -this would cause a major recession throughout Europe and possibly the US.

5. Greece could cut their high labor costs and institute major tax reforms: their VAT (a form of national sales tax) could be raised to 25% on all purchases, including homes, cars, etc. Result - this would increase civil tensions in the country, particularly among civil government workers and union workers and would not solve the immediate debts owed in May.

All of these scenarios could have a severe impact upon the world economic situation. They would create much distrust of the euro and the European Union. Some of the scenarios could result in instability in the lands most affected; with strikes, domestic violence, shortages, and protests. Above all, it could result in the break-up of the EU, which the EU leaders cannot allow.

My GUESS!!!

My scenario is really a product of my studying both the EU and Biblical prophecy. It is a GUESS ONLY.

I feel the EU "fits" the characteristics of the final reformed Roman Empire of Daniel 2 and 7. It may not be the final empire, but it is certainly setting the stage. I have covered my financial scenario of the Tribulation paper in my CMI Whitepaper, so I will not repeat it here. Based upon these inputs I suggest:

1. The EU will not break-up if it is, in fact, the embryo of fulfilled prophecy.

b

2. The founders of the EU has noted that the EU prospers best in crisis and particularly can use environmental and financial issues to gain ground in its goal of global governance. It has done this in the past and will in the future.

3. In order for the Tribulation finances to be achieved, a single currency is needed to bring about the Antichrist's control of buying and selling. The most logical choice is the euro or a descendant of the euro.

4. The concept of the single currency, the euro, cannot be allowed to fail by the leaders of the EU and those desiring global governance. Most teachers of global governance suggest that a single currency is an absolute necessity.

5. Since all major countries have far exceeded a position of easy debt removal, all are interdependent upon each other. Finances are now global and the economics of one country now affect economies of many countries, in other words, macro economics is global by nature. All countries in the EU and US are financially interconnected. When one declines, most others will follow to some degree.

6. The people of the US and Europe believe that a lack of governmental regulation of the financial industry has resulted in the global decline of the last two years (they ignore the fact that the governments set up conditions for the decline). Therefore, global regulation is a necessity and must be administered by a supranational organization.

7. The Eurozone countries depend upon the financial strength of Germany and France. Britain, while financially in debt has a proven track record of resolving debt problems through taxes and reforms. Thus, Britain is viewed as a positive, strong financial country. But Britain is not a Eurozone country. Its entry to the Eurozone could help other nations. Hence, the Eurozone needs to bring financially strong countries into the Eurozone. This means there are 11 potential countries (those part of the EU but not using the euro). This crisis could be the excuse for requiring the euro to be the currency of all EU nations.

8. For a supra-national government (the EU is the only one in history) to continue to develop, it must enlarge and ultimately, be the only government on the earth. Therefore, its inherent goal is global governance.

9. The EU's strength and ruling power comes through its regulatory powers. Financial control on a global scale would allow it to gain its global power without "firing a shot."

10. Strangely, the EU leaders have not been in the forefront of the efforts to help Greece. They have allowed Germany and France to lead. In fact, they have been strangely silent. They may be in fact, setting up both these countries to fail and allow the EU to come to the rescue. This would increase the EU's influence and power as a global problem solver.

When I consider all these factors, I believe the EU will wait for the right moment to suggest a strong, global, supranational regulatory power, primarily headed by itself. This will be a key to global governance. Interestingly, this is just what the President of the European Central Bank suggested in Forbes this week. He believes that only through global governance can the "resiliency of the global financial system can be assured." (Mia Saini. "Face to Face" Forbes http://blogs.forbes.com/face-to-face/2010/04/29/ecb-president-favors-globalgovernance.htm - 4/29/2010.)

Again these are just some observations and possible conclusions that may be drawn from them. They are presented strictly as an opinion in response to your emails.

In His service and yours, until He comes,
