Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues Dec 2011

The end of the year is upon us already and next year will start off with presidential primaries for the Republican Party nominee for President. After all these months of vetting (I hate that word but it seems fitting for politicians) candidates it looks like the Republicans end up with two losers. Romney could not even beat McCain in the 2008 run, and Gingrich did not even run in 2008 because he had too much baggage to carry. So what has changed?

It seems to me that we have another failure to get most Americans to critically think about the leaders that they will vote for. Americans love to give proper respect when the flag is shown and they like to sing God Bless America. However, it seems that most people in this country will do nothing to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave or blessed by God. Most people living in America today are about as informed as Rosie, as deep as their flat TV screen and as obedient to God as ancient Israel. So why should God bless America?

Let’s face it, your county dog catcher should be able to beat Obama in an election. Obama is the most anti-American president that we have ever had. Thanks to his “leadership” we are in the midst of economic policy and foreign policy that will soon bring total disaster on this nation. Even so, Americans can only blame themselves for putting him in office. Now, these same apathetic, irresponsible or deceived people still do not know, or do not care enough to elect someone who would try to restore America to a constitutional Republic of limited government.

So here we are, stuck with the same political choices that we had in 2008. Neither of the Republican front-runners is likely to beat Obama and even if they should, it will not go the way you think. Romney just means more liberal politics and Gingrich means elitist controlled big government that will attempt to control everyone and everything .

What we really need is a return to our constitutional and Christian roots not the “third way” globalist policies of a newt that continually changes colors with the political background. The “third way” that Gingrich has supported has been said to be nothing but Communism with vision. Actually, Fascism would be the best description for Newt’s vision, except that most everyone in this country has been brainwashed to believe that Fascism is right-wing conservationism. However, in reality Fascism is socialist big government controlling everyone and everything for the collective good of the Borg.

True conservatives know that our constitutional republic was designed to give God-given inalienable rights and liberties to individuals. Our constitutional republic was set up to prevent government from putting people under government tyranny. We conservatives believe we need to stop the government abuses of our Constitution and get back to a constitutional republic of a government that is of the people, and for the people, and by the people, rather than for government self-interest and special interests.

It seems the conservative Tea Party movement only lasted about as long as a British afternoon tea party. At one time the leaders in the Tea Party were talking about starting their own party but they joined with the Republicans. Now they do not even have enough influence in the Republican Party to control the Republican House or get a constitutional conservative nominated for President.

So once again conservatives are told to hold their nose and vote for the lessor of three literal evils for President. A Marxist narcissist that is currently occupying the office, or a Bishop in a demonic cult who actually thinks he is evolving into a God, or a thrice married CFR globalist and narcissist and former Baptist that converted to Catholicism (after he saw the majesty of the Pope).

After the 2008 shaft conservatives said that they would not be snookered again. However, all indicators are they will be snookered again, and it could be the last time they will even have the chance to be snookered through free elections.

If these are the choices there has to be a third-party movement starting the day they nominate one of these guys. You might say that will get Obama reelected. Sure it might, but with these two candidates he is going to be reelected anyway. Also, Obama can do little without the Senate and Congress and he has already broken enough laws to be impeached.  If that doesn’t stop the next government from destroying what is left of this constitutional republic the very same Constitution gives the people the right to revolt against government tyranny.

Just changing from a glib secular socialist president to a religious socialist “god-in-the-making, or a glib globalist “third way” neo-Fascist, is not going to preserve constitutional America. I would like to believe that I am wrong about Gingrich but I have little reason to believe that I am. I think Gingrich has proved that his word is no good. Gingrich has had a very long political career and his record speaks for itself.

It is the globalism and shape shifting of people like Newt Gingrich that put us in the economic situation that we are in today and you want him to lead the “free world”? Don’t believe me? Check his record for yourself instead of just listening to his carefully crafted solutions for the conservative audience that will never really happen anyway. Newt Gingrich had his chance to be a constitutional conservative in 1994 when he was Speaker of the House but he blew it in favor of let’s-make-a-deal pragmatism, moral failures and financial sell outs. Learn a little about the real Newt Gingrich.

The monetary policy in this country is unconstitutional, people need be arrested and tried for treason. The plan for a recovery is to just keep going deeper in debt. After the private Federal Reserve loaned out $16.1 trillion backed by America to prop up the financial house of cards that the world bankers created, they still have the gall to lend even more American money to bail out Europe banks. Here are the past low intrest loan figures made by the Federal Reserve, believe it or not.

According to the GAO audit, $16.1 trillion in secret loans were made by the Federal Reserve between December 1, 2007 and July 21, 2010.  The following list of firms and the amount of money that they received was taken directly from page 131 of the GAO audit report….

Citigroup – $2.513 trillion
Morgan Stanley – $2.041 trillion
Merrill Lynch – $1.949 trillion
Bank of America – $1.344 trillion
Barclays PLC – $868 billion
Bear Sterns – $853 billion
Goldman Sachs – $814 billion
Royal Bank of Scotland – $541 billion
JP Morgan Chase – $391 billion
Deutsche Bank – $354 billion
UBS – $287 billion
Credit Suisse – $262 billion
Lehman Brothers – $183 billion
Bank of Scotland – $181 billion
BNP Paribas – $175 billion
Wells Fargo – $159 billion
Dexia – $159 billion
Wachovia – $142 billion
Dresdner Bank – $135 billion
Societe Generale – $124 billion
“All Other Borrowers” – $2.639 trillion

Is this the monetary system that our founders wrote into our Constitution? These private bankers can do whatever they want with America’s money but the American people have no say in what they do with our money. They have put our nation at risk. They are digging a black hole and there will be no way out.

The only reason the dollar has not totally collapsed already is that it is a reserve currency and Europe with its own central banks and socialism is in worse economic shape than we are. Many of the nations of the world have debt that they will not be able to pay off. Whole nations will default or they will hyper-inflate away their debt. The whole house of cards is coming down very soon, and when it does cities will burn and police states will emerge everywhere.

The deception from our own government is incredible but few seem to be aware or care. The government is giving a 3.6 percent cost of living adjustment this year but the cost of living for most people on fixed incomes went up 15 percent last year. The real inflation rate across the board last year was actually about 6-8 percent. So how do they get away with 3.6 adjustment? The methods they use for the consumer price index is designed to understate inflation.

The Federal Reserve is also buying American debt that they create out of thin air to keep the interest rates much lower than they should be. So that nest-egg that you saved does not earn the interest that it should to even keep up with inflation. Therefore, your wealth is gradually being stolen from you by the very inflation that the government claims does not exist.

In the last year alone, you probably lost 5 percent of your real net worth if all your wealth was in short-term bank deposits or treasuries. For example, that $20,000 foreign car one year later now costs you 6 percent more or $21,200 and the interest dollars that you received on your nest-egg just paid you 1 percent so you lost 5 percent of your buying power in just one year. This has been going on for years and then people wonder why those on fixed incomes are struggling?

The American government said that unemployment fell from 9 percent to 8.6 percent last month but there were not enough jobs created to make it fall at all. So what really happened? They did not count the 315,000 people who just gave up looking for work. The labor force is not shrinking but government wants to act like it is so they can report lower unemployment.

If you have not looked for a job in the last four weeks you are not counted as unemployed. The fact is that the government employment-population ratio is at 58.5 percent and that is the same rate as a year ago, so things are not improving.  Once again last week there were over 400,000 people applying for new unemployment benefits and now almost one-third of families In the United States get some kind of government food assistance.

The facts are that the real unemployment if complied under previous administrations would still be over 11 percent and the U6 rate that also counts part-time workers that are looking for full-time work is 15.6 percent. So figures lie and liars figure.

I am sure more people will find jobs when their unemployment benefits totally run out. However, I hardly think that when someone with a college degree gets a job at McDonald or Wal-Mart that we should believe that we are returning to prosperity. Good jobs that allow for middle class wages continue to fall in America (perhaps with the exception of those fortunate enough to find employment with the Federal government).

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

There also is no sanity in American foreign policy. Those running our government are either kidding themselves, want the decline of America, or they are suicidal.

Iran probably already has nukes, but we keep playing the sanctions game. When was the last time that sanctions ever worked to change dictators? We did the sanctions game in Cuba, N. Korea and Iraq and did it change anything? N. Korea now has nuclear weapons and we had to fight two ground wars against Iraq. We had sanctions against Cuba for fifty years and it accomplished nothing.

Now Iran probably has the capability to deliver an EMP over America. So instead of dealing with the threat and delivering an ultimatum to Iran, our American leaders stick a feather in their cap while singing I’m a Yankee doodle dandy, because a couple of Arab dictators were overthrown with our support?  Like we are to believe that the overthrow of dictators is going to bring peace to the Middle East? The Islamic dictatorships that will replace them will set the world up for the next world war. So the West enforces the globalist Right to Protect doctrine of the UN but they certainly will make Islamic controlled nations exempt.

Israel needs to realize that the faster they dump the United States and Europe for their security and turn to God the better off they will be. They should not expect sanity to prevail in America anymore. America lost it when the people became immoral and apathetic and they voted in collectivist globalist professional politicians.

War between Syria and Israel is a real possibility within a couple of weeks. Assad probably sees that as the only way to turn things around and stay in power. Iran might also get hit by an Israel first strike on Iran and that would also bring in Syria. Otherwise, Turkey and NATO are going to start turning the screws on Syria, and after Gaddafi, Assad knows that is the beginning of the end for him. So actually, a first strike could come from any of a host of nations or even terrorist groups, but the end result most likely will be a regional war in 2012.

We are giving up our nukes and cutting our national defense while Russia builds up their nuclear forces and makes plans for a new Soviet Union. Their military modernization program is being financially funded by energy resources that the West needs but won’t develop because it might disturb the bats in their own belfry?

The West gives much of their money to China’s in exchange for trivial junk so that their own factories making better products will close down. Then China uses the money that the West donates to them to become a military nuclear superpower to destroy the world order of the West??  Is the West that naive or just insane? Really what is the difference?

We are fighting a war in Afghanistan against a tribal people that we armed and set up to hate us, for a tribal government that clearly hates us, and the war effort is being supported by a Pakistani tribal nation that mostly hates us and works against us?? Any chance of winning that war? Get real!

If America is going to be the military arm of the globalists and get our nation destroyed in the process than Ron Paul is correct. We should pull out of the world and mind our own business. Why do we need to be the orderlies for insane asylums of the world? Best to become a peace-loving sane nation on the other side of the ocean that is no threat to the inmates on the other side that will end up killing each other anyway. We just need to have plenty of big nuclear attack dogs roaming our own territory to keep demonic berserk nations out of our own backyard.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Europe just put off their financial crisis a few days with our help. The story is that a big bank was about to go under and take other banks with them and that is the reason the American Federal Reserve bankers decided to lend our money to Europe at very low-interest  rates. The stock market went crazy thinking that this will be enough delusion for them to make some money. Of course the enthusiasm won’t last because the required cuts will never be made to save Europe from default.

Either the EU will break up, or Germany will essentially take over and Federalize Europe. They can only put off the inevitable for so long. The action of the American Federal Reserve putting America at risk for European bankers is treason. Rick Perry is correct in using that word for those that are running our monetary system. They should be in jail. We need to go back under a monetary system controlled by elected representatives in Congress.

Speaking about incarceration, if the Defense bill passes, the military will have the power to arrest and detain Americans on American soil indefinably without due process. It’s all part of the war on terror. Why does this war on terror really seem like a continual war on our Constitution and our liberty?  They won’t even acknowledge the real enemy is Islam. They think the enemies are conservative American Christian patriots that do not want more government control. That is because we have seen and can see the end result of giving sinful people too much power.

The problem with bills like this is that the big danger of tyranny comes sometime in the future, when there is a manufactured or real crisis. If you think the government is overreacting now just wait until they find something to really react to.

Like Senator Rand Paul said, if this bill passes the terrorists have won. You can thank John McCain, at least in part, for the wording inserted in the Defense bill that was written behind closed doors. You say you voted for him for President? That does not surprise me since the only other choice was Obama. I think the communists got into McCain’s head when he was a war prisoner in North Vietnam, but Obama was actually created by them.

Let’s see now, its been about three years since a Federal budget was passed? That’s why we have the threat of a financial shut down about every month. This is big government operating at its best. It passes bills based on the level of fear if they don’t act.

On the church front the Vatican now owns the Crystal Cathedral in California. It just goes to show you that a glass cathedral built on religious pluralism, universalism and possibility thinking will get its just rewards when it becomes the world’s largest bingo hall.

Speaking about the Vatican. The Pope is getting real involved in religious pluralism and globalism these days. It makes you wonder if he is setting things up for the mother of all False Prophets.

  1. I Thank God for your voice of reason in this world wide wilderness, overflowing with lunacy and immorality (synonymous one to another) …that the indwelling spirit of our God always provides you with the discernment and the wisdom to speak plainly and without compromise, in bearing up God’s word and in identifying the times we are living in. His truth is sweet to hear. Brother… God’s will be done… his timing. Yet I can’t help but hope that the rapture is soon!

  2. Hey Don, great article, I agree, most people in our country are blind. I pray when they have no where else to turn they’ll turn to God. Apostasy is inevitable. About an EMP over America, Does it cause portable radios,generators, etc. not to work? I’ve search your sight but was unable to find an answer? Thanks

  3. Thanks Jeff,

    It depends if it is a solar or nuclear EMP. A solar EMP will mostly effect equipment connected to long land lines, like transformers and of course satellites.

    A nuclear EMP can fry electronics, generators etc., but they can be protected by a Faraday cage. Also a nuclear EMP will have to be pretty strong and placed exactly in the right place to get most of our electronics. The older the electronics the more likely it is to survive. So you might keep that old radio. Equipment that is not plugged in is more likely to survive than equipment that is on line.

    There are sites that just deals with EMP preparations, you might do a Google search.

  4. Meanwhile the supreme court decides to not step in to protect Christian churches from being kicked out of “schools” (I use that term very loosely) in NYC. Some of the comments there (fox news site) show how brainwashed the bulk of the public is. Just goes to show the Supreme Court is in on the fix, too.

    With Pakistani relations at a new low, the Isaiah 18 folks have some more ammo in their camp. That is one challenging chapter, but I don’t want to let it fall off my radar. I especially want to focus on the word ‘bulrushes’ — you could equate that roughly to even sailboat or small barge. Hmmm. In any case, an EMP fits.

    An EMP will most certainly cut the head off the eagle. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that it’s indefensible. You really need to plan on 1880’s life. I don’t quite see the military being fully capable of taking control. The military isn’t prepared for 1880 either. Warlords is probably very likely. All speculation of course.

    I know one thing – I’m not prepared and I doubt anyone will be.

    Otherwise, civil war is obvious. I don’t see the military sitting under a marxist narcissist, so who knows if it could maintain control within it’s own ranks except probably to take control over all official business. Then again, I’m only rambling 🙂

    As for the rest of the world, I think we’ll be able to associate the prophecies, assuming we’d have the capability to “watch”;

  5. Well sounds like Schuller got his dream His admiration for the Pope of Rome and for the Roman Catholic Church always amazed me. Maybe he is hoping to be the Pope’s successor,now that they turned the Crystal Cathedral into Vatican II.It is hard for me to understand why any Bible believer could follow men such as Bill Hybels, John Maxwell and Rick Warren, when they are speaking for a man like Schuller. Many Baptist (?) Churches are adopting the methods of Bill Hybels, John Maxwell and Rick Warren. This is strange indeed that they would follow people who are in bed with Schuller. After all, Schuller is in bed with the Pope of Rome. Many Baptist churches have followed the advice of these men and dropped the name Baptist. Of course when they are no longer Baptists, they should drop the name Baptist. Many Southern Baptist Churches are following the “purpose driven church” philosophy of Hybels and Warren.

    What is really bad, is that some Independent Baptist pastors are running off to these conferences where all this heresy is introduced. Soon their churches will be going down the same road that new-evangelicals have already followed. “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil . . . ” (Ex. 23:2).

  6. Don, I truly believe almost any patriotic conservative american can beat Obama. If you could just get your name out to the public and be able to clearly articulate the TRUTH any sane person should support you. Tell them the truth about our economy and how the politicians are sucking us down the black hole of debt. The truth about how the Obama admin is destroying our military. The truth how our foriegn policy is disastrous. How the widespread immorality is killing us, etc. Show them how capitalism is superior to socialism. Also say you will do what is neccessary to reduce our need for foriegn energy and bring gas prices way down. There are so many ways that anyone could beat this guy you just have to stick to ur guns. That’s my opinion anyway. Truth is not subjective and you can’t argue it. As long as the media doesn’t completely ignore you I’d see how anybody could not vote for you.

  7. Jim,

    What you are really saying is that any conservative candidate should be able to reeducate a brainwashed nation. I really do not know how a person does that in a few months when the brainwashing is the only message that most people hear from the media and the educational systems and Obama has the monetary support to buy much more time to keep twisted the truth.

  8. I agree. It’s not the candidates, per say that are without substance, but the voters who can’t think critically past the newest political slogan. I won’t be surprised if Obama gets re-elected because he lies so eloquently.

  9. Don, would a solar EMP effect the entire face of the earth or the daylight side only?
    If the shaded side of the earth is reasonably safe the Pacific basin could take the initial blow leaving most of the world reasonably free. On the other hand…

    And from the Scriptures it seems reasonably clear that not all the world’s electronics will be affected by any EMP, solar or nuclear.
    “And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations SHALL SEE their dead bodies three days and an half…” (Revelation 11:9).
    And in line with this; control of world commerce (and warfare) without modern communication would be difficult if not impossible???

  10. Everything you said is 100 percent true. The sad thing is it’s very hard to find people who even want to talk about the serious issues, and forget about talking to people about bible prophecy. Few people have any idea how things that are happening today were foretold in the bible. As a matter of fact, in certain circles, if you even mention God and world events, they look at you like you’re nuts and believe in the tooth fairy. I find most people don’t want to think about these things because it depresses them. They get off the subject as fast as they can and get onto mindless things like who is the next American Idol. But that’s what the government wants, major distraction and boy do we have a ton of that in this country.

  11. Brian,

    it would effect the day light side but the earth rotates. Therefore, how much of the earth would be impacted depends on the size of the CME and there are other factors such as the direction of the earth’s electromagnetic shield when the EMP hits. I am not the person to ask about all that. Best to do a search on the topic.

    The scriptures suggesting that there would be electronics in the tribulation really means nothing if the EMP hits years or decades before that end time event. Generally when talking about an EMP, I have been talking about the threat to the United States as a super power since the United States is more dependent on electricity and electronics than any other nation on earth.

    I also have been saying consistently that the United States will fall as a superpower years before and perhaps decades before the biblical end time events play out. One really has nothing to do with the other. We had a Solar EMP in the 1800’s, that if it happened today, would put the United States back to the 1800’s for quite some time.

    The solar EMP threat will probably only be a moderate threat for this country for two more years. After that the sun calms down and cycles back toward a solar minimum and by the next solar max cycle we should have our high voltage transformers properly grounded. The bigger danger to the United States is a nuclear EMP that only affects America and effects most of the electronics within the line of sight of the bomb and not just transformers.

    The greatest solar EMP the world will ever know will actually take place after the event that you mention. When the Angel in Revelation pours out his vial on the Sun.

  12. An EMP against the [Northern] Americas doesn’t necessarily have any consequences on prophecy regarding other parts of the world. It may even be a catalyst for the “white horse” and confiscation of weapons. It may even usher in bio-chip technology, which would be impervious to an EMP. And other countries would most certainly “harden” their power / energy sources. This could also help to explain a relatively large elapsed time between the “marginalization” / destruction of the Americas and prophetic events concerning the rest of the world.

    If you ascribe to the Isaiah 18 folk, the EMP would more than likely be by Pakistan et al rather than solar. Not that I am in line with the liberties they take with that chapter of scripture, but I’m keeping my eyes / ears open.

    I don’t see any connection between an EMP event against the [Northern] Americas and any kind of detriment against God’s future truths, other than the one that speaks wonders – zero mention of the Americas in the book of Revelation.

    My thinking is that if I / we (those who prepare and heed God’s warnings et al) survive, then this is where I’d stay while the rest of the world fights it out. Sort of “go down with the ship” until we hear the trumpet and God calls us to the clouds.

    With that said, I’d rather have God do the work a la solar event, but maybe Isaiah 18 is about an attack. “Watch and Pray”;

  13. Brian, Revelation 11:9 refers to the murder of God’s 2 witnesses, not an EMP attack. And the world will refuse to bury them and gloat over them.

  14. Frank, don’t you think Brian knows that? He was just implying that there will have to be electronics in the tribulation. That is obvious. But the possibility of an EMP now does not nullify the electronic system used in the days of the rise of the Antichrist.

    I agree with Craig, when the Antichrist “buy-sell” system actually comes it is not likely to be vulnerable to an EMP any more than our own brain is. In fact a EMP and fried electronics in a nation like the US would actually accelerate going to a chip that is based on light or bio-chemistry.

  15. Gentlemen, or ladies, The earth will revolve on it’s axis on account of earthquakes, not EMP attacks if there is indeed such attacks. Respectfully, Robert

  16. Texas, Your last statement must have been in border English. Most of us here only understand bad English. So I guess you or someone is going to have to translate what you just said.

  17. I did not say my idea was likely it’s just that this danger we are in is so obvious to me I just don’t understand it. I agree it’s mostly the voters fault. On a side note I don’t understand why the Obama admin is so against our military. Every month I find out another thing he has done to weaken us. Our politicians can’t pass a budget but they can dismantle our military. Something is wrong here.

  18. Don,thank you for your compliment. The earth moved it’s axis 1/2 percent on the earthquake in Japan recently. Look it up. I am also concerned about EMP’s but i believe in the prophecy about earthquakes in diverse places have a place in prophecy. Respectfully, Robert. Ps I will try to spell and be more articulate in future correspondence. Robert ps.I warned of Mossad interference of the recent mysterious bombing in Iran which you discounted. You are great and I appreciate you so much.Robert

  19. Texas, what complement? Have you been drinking too much cactus juice today? I see no Robert on this thread. Maybe you are Robert, but here you are Texas Wolfie and if you are talking to me I neither discounted Mossad being involved or can find nothing to prove that they were involved in the Iranian explosions.

  20. Jim,

    You asked, why is the Obama admin against our military? Because the Far Left does not want America to be the world super power. They want the UN to run the world. Something is wrong here all right. We have globalists and Marxists running our government that do not give a damn about a strong America. By the way, you have seen nothing yet, if Obama gets reelected our military is going to be decimated.

  21. Carolyn Glick from The Jerusalem Post wrote an article suggesting that the bombs and killings in Iran recently are from the growing dissidents from within the country. That was always one of the ideas floating around during the Bush administration; to aid the opposing elements to Ahmadinejad and cause a regime change.

  22. I read this from Rosenberg’s blog:

    There is little doubt that the Israeli Mossad is involved in some of these operations. The question is how extensively are the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies are involved?

    Ammi, Carolyn Click produced “We Con The World – & CNN” for Youtube. It went viral. HuffPo hates her for doing that spoof.

  23. That is probably true in one way or another but Joel Rosenberg could not even say what he said if he had actual inside knowledge.

  24. @Anonymous; just watched the YouTube and I love the chutzpa of this woman. Regarding Iran; no one is talking so everything is pretty much speculation and there is a lot of it out there. Reminds me of when a nuke site was bombed in Syria a year or so ago. Barely made the news. Wars and rumors of wars will very probably increase exponentially in 2012. I for one am very weary of this world.

  25. Speaking of insanity coupled to wars… The “UN climate court”. Decries an “end to wars for the sake of the climate.” The anti-christ rider on the white horse will most definitely be snatching this laughing stock of a brainwashed human derelict gene pool.

    There a picture of a black male holding a sign “climate justice for all women”; This is dereliction on many levels. First of all, dude — check your sign. Secondly, coupling lies about the climate to a gender. That pretty much nullifies the argument of who is more intelligent.

    I feel like doing my “Larry The Cable Guy” impersonation right about now. But that might affect the weather.

  26. Don,

    I’ve thought a lot about what you wrote in this article and I simply have nothing to add that you haven’t already said.

    It’s a very noteworthy and hard hitting article, I think you pretty much said it all.

  27. It looks like we only have another couple decades left but Babylon is nowhere close to being rebuilt. Ik that Dubai was built relativly fast but if Babylon was going to be the magnificent world capital you would think it would take much longer to build. If there will be many supernatural events happening in the tribulation why can’t Babylon be built supernaturally? With people dying left and right during this time period how would they have the manpower to do this? Maybe demonic forces assist in it’s construction? Just a side thought.

  28. Jim,

    The angels cast unto the earth have supernatural powers and they could play a role but also keep in mind that Iraq will be pumping more oil than any Middle East state within two decades. When the world electronic system is set up also expect that a transaction tax for world government will be included. The UN already wants that and your can be sure that the Mark of the Beast system that comes after it also includes a transaction tax as well as total control of everyone.

    I think people of the world will believe that they have arrived to the New Age. Even Hitler believed in a thousand year reign.

    If the US falls as the world superpower the UN headquarters will be removed from the US and will probably more to Rome. Then it will move to Babylon after the Beast comes out of the pit.

    The city of Babylon itself will just be a world political and religious headquarters for the Beast that comes out of the pit. It probably will be more of a symbolic city than a populous city of modern skyscrapers. Thus, that explains why there are already plans in place to restore Babylon to a international center and to restore the ruins to much like it was in the past through the guise of making it a theme park.

    Where all rebellion against God started it will end.

  29. “Where all rebellion against God started it will end.”

    That is just incredible how the high and mighty, prideful humanity (devolved in reality) will have come full circle back to where it all started.

  30. All the talk about what will our heavenly mind be like, brings me to an Old Testament subject that has always intrigued me, we simply don’t know enough about it.

    I’m talking about the ‘Urim and the Thummim’ which was somehow used to make decisions.

    Some say it was black and white colored rocks, which the user would shuffle in his hand then the one that somehow came out of it was the answer.

    There’s a lot of speculation on the Urim and the Thummim but like the Heavenly Mind, we really don’t know…but it’s fascinating.

  31. David,

    That’s not the best place to have an aircraft carrier parked unless someone is looking for a second pearl harbor. These carrier groups have long range cruse missiles and jets that can destroy targets in Iran from hundreds of miles off shore. To put a carrier group in easy range of Iranian weapons where they cannot maneuver is not too smart unless it needs to get to another location.

    If we just want to call the bluff that is another issue but as soon as the carrier goes through and is out of the area you know Iran will just come up with another threat. Too much exposure aids them in their training for an attack and moving the carrier group disrupts the strategic reason why we put the carrier group were it is.

    We can destroy the Iranian navy in days without ever entering the Persian Gulf. I would give Iran a last warning to stop their threats and their obvious nuclear weapons program and if they persist, I would set their military weapons program back a few decades. Iran’s only hope is Al Mahdi and he is not coming, his head got stuck in the well.

  32. Don,

    I don’t understand the naval logistics as you do, however, it sure does seem like Iran is getting extremely aggressive.

    I have been reading that the Iranian economy is in shambles because of the sanctions…so, it seems to me that something is going to happen…soon.

    Well, Happy Nuke Year, everyone…2012 is off to a “booming” start.

  33. If anyone is interested and has broadband…there was a personal interview with Pastor Chuck Smith given by Greg Laurie…done yesterday January 6, 2012…you can watch it anytime as it is archived.

    It was pretty good in my opinion about the man who started the Jesus movement in the 1960’s, who founded Calvary Chapel, and most of all, who loves the Lord God with all his heart.

    NOTE: You can skip past the half hour of music at the beginning.

  34. They said he couldn’t play in the NFL. They said he didn’t have what it takes to even be an average quarterback. They hate him because of his devout love for Jesus Christ.

    Tim Tebow turned the Denver Bronco’s 2011 losing season into a playoff run…today, January 8th, 2012, in a wildcard playoff game, his team beat the defending AFC defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Mr. Tebow threw a game winning touchdown in overtime to help his team advance to the next round in the playoffs.

    Who knows how far the Denver Bronco’s will go but I think it’s a really bad idea to bet against a guy who is always praying to the Lord God.
