Obama is acting out Christian Black Liberation theology on AmericaSome very misled Evangelicals are saying that Obama is a Christian that once was attending a Christian Black Liberation Theology church but they have it backwards. Christian Black Liberation Theology is attending the mind of Obama. Most everything Obama is doing to America reflects the beliefs of a person driven by “Christian” Black Liberation Theology. “I Am” beckoning by Glenn BeckIt is with mixed feelings that I am writing this post because most of what Glenn Beck says is as American as American pie. Nevertheless, most Christians leaders so love the sugar in the American pie that Beck is dishing out that they are also gobbling down the deadly crust that molds it. When Glenn Beck stays on politics he is pretty good but when he talks about God he is so far off the Christian reservation that he might as will be on planet Kolob (Where Father God of Mormons lives). Common misapplications of selected scripturesSelected scriptures are often commonly parroted by well meaning and also some not so well meaning Christians in America that are simply misapplications of God’s word. I will point out a few here but if you are a serious student of the scriptures others may come to your mind so feel free to share them here. I hope if nothing else this post will get people to look at the full context of a passage in the light of all of God’s word so they will not use selected misapplications as spiritual applications for today. Here are five examples of commonly used misapplications of selected Bible passages. Its time Obama gets serious and takes military action against Iran.Its time for Obama to get serious and take military action against Iran. Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons and the systems to deliver them. Some say it will take Iran another year or two and others say they could develop a nuke in just a few months. Those projections are based on what we do know. However, there are many things that we do not know. Who knows what is going on in secret underground facilities in Iran? They could already have nukes and the public portion of this nuclear charade is for public consumption and just a smoke screen. If that is the case we are putting our forces in the Middle East in great danger. Fascist dictators and cults stole the envisioned Utopian age of AquariusRemember this song? It was inspired by the post World War II spoiled undisciplined Spock babies of the Boomer Generation. They became the counterculture hippie generation of the 1960′s. They were deluded enough to think that they could end war on earth by rebelling against the establishment. They envisioned that they would bring in the Utopian Age of Aquarius of New Age pagan lore.

The Marxists could never have taken over our educational system, the media, our government and even many of our churches if those that call themselves Christians in this nation really believed, lived a Christian lifestyle and kept a Christian worldview. Any operational Bushehr nuclear reactor is destroyed with Babylon.It has been announced that Russia is going to fuel up the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran on Aug 21st, 2010. That has also fueled speculation by some that Israel or even the U.S. will attack the reactor within the next eight days because after it goes operational nobody would dare attack this reactor because radiation would be spread over a large area of the Middle East. Attacking it after it has become operational for a while would even be worse, because it would spread the Plutonium that is generated in the fuel rods and wherever this Plutonium dust might spread would become radioactive and uninhabitable for human life for many thousands of years. Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, August 2010Its already August and time for my second monthly perspectives article. In case you got here by a search engine with a keyword search these perspectives are posted on the World Trends and Bible Prophecy Blog of Don Koenig. There is a category on the side bar and a tag on the bottom of this post that will bring you to prior monthly perspectives. A home mortgage now makes sense as the ultimate hedge against inflationA large mortgage on a property now only makes sense as the ultimate hedge against inflation because the government will be financing and subsidizing your tangible property for the duration of the loan. The reason why long term interest rates are so ridiculously low is that people running our economic system fear deflation so they are spending money that we do not have to kick the can (the day of reckoning) down the road. I think it is now obvious that our government will not allow a deflationary depression. We are heading for a lot of inflation in the future. The government will just keep spending more than it has to try to stimulate the economy. The relationship between making Bible passages allegory and heretical cultsThe Bible contains allegory but when it does it is also makes it clear in the passage. I think along with legalism there is a strong relationship between those that twist Bible passages into allegory and heretical movements and cults. We can look at the history of Christianity since the Apostles and we will see a reoccurring pattern between allegory and heresy. The first heretics were legalists that wanted to put Jews that found the Messiah back under Jewish law. Soon after we know that gnostic heretics became a plague on the Church. They made scriptures allegorical so it would comply with their old and new mystical beliefs. It seems most heresy either comes from legalism or from some allegorical interpretation of passages in scripture that should have been taken in a common literal sense. Any American recovery in practice will go back to the American wayForget all the theory that the economists and socialists keep peddling to us. Any American recovery in practice must go back to the American way! The American way is one of self reliance and reliance on community not reliance on big government and its entrenched bureaucrats. I really do not think America will choose to go back to the American way but if they did the following is probably the way to do it. The one percent rule for bloggers and latest information on this BlogI guess it is time to tell you everything that you probably did not want to know about this blog once again. The last post about the Mormon prophecies to establish a theocracy in America has been up for about a week now. In that week there were about 1300 views to the homepage and it would have been the first post article that anyone saw. About 300 in that week viewed that post directly from a search or a link. Of those 1600 views about one dozen people – less than one percent – actually clicked on the link and read any part of the article that I discussed. It really makes me wonder why I even bother to link to supporting articles if people with the attention span of a gnat will never take the time to view them? Mormon plan to establish a world theocracy from America.Early last month I wrote an article called Rising Christian Imperialism Fueled by Dominion Theology. The article is mainly about the danger of Far Right Christian dominionists gaining control after the Obama failure brings about a Far Right backlash in America. The Bible is a book of scripts from God and most scripts have contextI have noticed that some teachers and preachers today just rip passages of the Bible out of proper context in order to support whatever point they happen to be teaching. However, the Bible is a book of scripts from God and most of His scripts do have context. So maybe some teachers should read the context of a passage of the Bible before they give a teaching based on a passage. The Americian tyranny of a conglomeration of minoritiesWhen a Government serves and gives special rights to a conglomeration of minorities against the will of the American majority the nation is under a tyranny of the minorities. Apparently we are now under such a tyranny in America. There is a way this can be changed politically by electing a Republican super majority. Learn the parable of the fig tree.We have had quite a bit of discussion in the comments section about the fig tree of Matthew chapter 24 and Mark chapter 13 because of certain teachers interpretations put on it that imply all end time events will be fulfilled by 2018 (a normal lifespan from Israel being back in the Land). It therefore probably should be something I should discuss in more depth since I do not agree that Jesus was saying that all will be fulfilled by 2018. Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, July 2010I decided to start a monthly series on my perspectives on world and church issues. Some will have some bearing on end time Bible prophecy. For those who do not know me and found this post through a search engine. I have had a website called The Prophetic Years for over ten years. For the last three years the site also hosts a Blog named “World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy“. This blog is where these monthly perspectives are posted along with other posts of interest usually related to the Blog title. I will create a special category on the sidebar for these perspectives so you can find them all in one place. Comments are allowed if you read and adhere to my commenting policy. 1930′s socialists reincarnated to play in the 2010′s world war games.There are many parallels to the 1930′s today. History does repeat itself. It seems the socialists of the 1930′s have been reincarnated to play in the upcoming 2010′s world war games. In the 1930′s the world was heading into a decade of deep depression. All indicators are that in the 2010′s the world will see the same economic fate. In the 1930′s socialism was the big rising ideology. There were some differences between the various socialisms of the 1930′s but they all had many similarities as well, such as government having control over everyone and the redistributing wealth. There was the Hitler’s style, the Lenin/Stalin’s style, Mussolini’s Fascist style, Mao’s style and even FDR’s New Deal style. Soon after the third stimulus America will be living under a dictatorship.I have been saying all along that there will not be any real economic recovery any time soon. Now it looks like the markets have finally figured that out as well. By this fall unemployment will be rising again. When one third of the homes being sold in America are in foreclosure how in the world can people expect a real economic recovery? Here are just some of the things still coming down the pipeline this year and next. I think within a few years this will bring us under a dictatorship. Worn out loafing around on the Internet in a tired world.I wanted to write a couple of new articles on something worth knowing this week but the chances of that seem to be getting slimmer all the time. Between comments, emails, website administration and modifications, keeping up with the news, shopping for food, yard work, a garden that is out of control, all my high mileage vehicles needing repair, my wife going on a mission trip, a birthday, spraying the fruit trees, taking care of the animals, doing bills, a holiday coming up, sleeping , etc. I find that there just are not enough hours in the day to get everything done. I am tired. |
