Have you noticed that the world is becoming extremely unstable on every front? The only nation that kept the world fairly stable since the Second World  War now is projecting a great deal of instability to the rest of the world. Because of our own unraveling the whole world is about to unravel into a third world war and all sorts of evils. Obama with his lame brain foreign policy that projects weakness reflects a major aspect of this national unraveling.

This is the first America president that acts and thinks like a third world president. Will the nation be made into his image?  In just one year Obama has alienated our friends and has projected a weak America to all of our enemies.  Obama has tried to please tyrants by telling them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Nevertheless, these predators know weakness when they see it. In return they show disrespect and mock America and Obama.

Obama’s appeasement overtures went out to Iran, N. Korea, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, Arabs, Islamic terrorists and others but they clearly thumb their nose at him and take great comfort in the belief that this appeasing president will never do nothing to upset their own agenda.

Our longstanding friendship with Great Britain and our friendship with Israel is being destroyed by the Obama administration. This president has disrespected our greatest friends. This is especially dangerous with Israel because if Israel can no longer count on the United States to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons they will do it themselves. Under the Obama administration we are also getting to the point were America stands against the right of Israel to defend herself against the enemies arming to attack her. If Israel feels America is no longer a ally against her enemies there is no reason for Israel to wait to destroy them. Israel believes it must strike enemies while she has the strength to win. There is no retreat when your nation is surrounded by enemies and 40,000 rockets earmarked to be fired into Israel.

Obama projects weakness to Iran by sanctions that everyone knows will not work while the American military is actually preparing for war with Iran by moving bunker-buster bombs to Diego Garcia. That mixed message makes no sense. We tried the same thing with two wars with Iraq to no avail. People in our last few American administrations keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Why? To appease the world that will never believe that there could be good intentions behind US military actions. They would rather get nuked than to think that some people just cannot be reasoned with or that they would actually use WMD if they had them. But, when a WMD attack actually happens to them they will be the first ones to turn into instant Nazi’s

Obama thinks appeasement will make Iran reasonable but what he is really doing is just telling Iran that they have more time left to build their nuclear weapons program. Meanwhile, Israel knows the time for appeasement is about up and if it even appears that the United States will not stop Iran from developing a nuke they will strike Iran. In that case the whole Middle East will unravel into a great war and Iran will make certain that America also gets sucked into the war.

Obama and staff do the same with N. Korea. You might think that after over 50 years of trying to appease the North Koreans that the State Department would have learned that you cannot appease madmen. This is a fatal flaw of liberals that believe in the basic goodness of man. But, on the contrary, unregenerate man is evil and will respond within his fallen human nature. Bullies on earth are predators, they respond to superior force, they are not persuaded through appeasement. The weak are just lambs for the slaughter for predators. Meanwhile, with all their appeasement the State Department is really abetting predators that have murdered millions and continue to murder people on their own hunting ground. The N. Korean cult leaders keep making grandiose threats because Americans have demonstrated over and over that N. Korea making threats brings them appeasement and free aid. If enough of the North Korean military leaders actually believe the propaganda of there “Dear Leader” god. they will drink his Kool-Aid on his command and carry out what will amount to national suicide.

There are current indications that China’s fascist dictators are now miscalculating because of our projection of weakness and their own self delusions that they have already become a superpower because they can undersell the world and flood world markets with their cheap crap. When actions are taken against China’s predator trade policy (as will happen later this year). China could very well respond with face-saving overreactions that will bring the world into great turmoil. If the Obama administration is going to give an oppressive fascist state superpower status in the world don’t be surprised when they actually try to live up to the billing. Better never to project any weakness with bullies and tyrants. But, how does an American administration project strength to the world with a State Department continually led by skirts and pantsuits and other high ranking bureaucrats that might as well be wearing them.

There is a great unraveling going on down Mexico way and is also being exported to America. Drug gangs are taking over Mexico and are also taking over American inner cities.

“In 2009 the U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center identified about 200 major U.S. cities with known presence of Mexican drug-trafficking organizations. The following is a map of those cities:

The drug cartels produce and distribute methamphetamine and marijuana in the U.S.”

Every big city in America is already a war zone due to gangs and this unraveling of law and order will turn the cities of the United States into little Mexico’s where some police and military are on one side of the drug war and the gangs are on the other. The people are caught in the middle of the fighting. It is not safe to travel in Mexico anymore and neither is it safe to travel in American inner cities. If you do not believe me spend a night on the streets in any large inner American city.

Our prisons and law enforcements have also reached the great unraveling point. Half  of the over 2.3 million people incarcerated in America are in for drug convictions and they then work on the other half in prison to recruit them into organized crime or even terrorism. If everyone was locked up that should be doing time for breaking drug laws in the United States we would have fifty million in prison at any given time. Are we really fighting to win a war against drugs or has the war just made drugs more profitable for scum sucking traffickers and also created a police state in the process??

It is obvious that the American system of government has reached the unraveling point. Government “by the people” is not working anymore. Just watch as they shove this health bill down everyone’s throat even though the people have clearly expressed their disgust for it. They will do it because there are too many people in government that only care about power and control. Many politicians will sell their own mother to Satan if it will get them something in return. They are not there to serve the people. It is not just Federal government either. Most states are now police states and the same can be said about many counties, cities and towns. The idea of personal freedom is just about dead in America. You cannot live in America anymore without breaking someone’s law. If you do not believe me let me examine your income tax, your licenses, your permits, the way you raise your children, the length of your grass, your water use, your breath, your blood, your urine, your house, your decibel levels, where you cross the street, where you camp, your guns, how you speak about perverts, etc., etc.

There is also a great unraveling happening in our churches. Preaching true Christianity is out of vogue with the new great spiritual leaders that act more like world politicians than religious leaders. They want everyone to preach communistic social justice and the interfaith socialism of the emergent world harlot. How many churches in America actually preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ anymore? In most big cities they certainly are a small minority. The Christian doctrine of salvation in Jesus Christ has unraveled in America because most Americans would rather just get along with the world’s philosophies then to actually believe they are sinners in need of salvation.

As this year progresses expect to see much unraveling take place. The little peace that is left in the world is about to unravel, the economy is about to unravel, Christians churches are unraveling, law and order is unraveling, the political system is unraveling, etc.

Yes, There is hope, for believers there is one thing that will never unravel, and that is true faith in  Jesus Christ.  But when Jesus comes will He find faith on the earth? (Lk 18:8). I hope you are one of those that can answer yes with certainty. If you have no faith read this article and find out how you can get faith.

I guess you heard that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has said our federal national debt will be about $22 trillion by 2020. I think it will be many trillions higher than what they say but don’t confuse our government national debt with our government negative net worth. What we owe in debt and entitlements is now well over $70 trillion and is now increasing by $5 trillion a year.

The obligations we owe exceeds the whole gross domestic products of the world ten times over. People really have to be blind to the facts to think that we can ever repay these obligations in today’s dollars. So something radical has to be done. Entitlements like Social Security and Medicare have to be severely cut or the government will just have to print more money. If government cuts the entitlements it will mean old age poverty and health rationing and if  government prints more dollars to pay for the obligations the dollar will become rapidly worthless.

Our government knows these things about our entitlement debt. These pencil-neck geeks are not ignorant they probably are planing to save the day with both entitlements cuts and inflation. Nevertheless, such bureaucratic plans will fail because elected people still rule this nation. That could change very soon but that is the way it is now.

The health care bill is such a government high priority because health care is the largest part of future federal government budgets. Once government controls health care they will first try to control the cost by forcing cuts on health care providers. This will force many of them to stop taking Medicare and low ball insurance plans that pay only what the government pays. Then people in these programs will have a real problem finding a doctor so Government will then pass laws requiring all health providers to take their government set fee. Then the more expensive and best health care providers will go out of business and many good doctors will quit or retire. What remains will be a government run health care system like they have in Britain. There will be long waits to see mostly mediocre doctors most people will never ever get past seeing the nurse. The elderly, terminally ill and unproductive members of our society will be denied any expensive medical procedures or medications.

Government will intend to pay for Social Security by raising the age that you can retire and by raising the contributions that you and your employer put in. I also think they will want to limit cost of living increases. (They will probably want to give cost of living increases (of cooked inflation numbers) minus one percent). So if you live long enough after retirement you will slowly go into poverty.

I think government will probably want to keep the cooked official inflation at about 4 or 5 percent a year because they know if it goes higher it will completely shut down the economy making things worse. The actual inflation rate under their planning would be about 7 percent. So government pencil-necks might think that in about ten years the dollar would be worth about half of what it is today. Therefore, the debt obligations of the United States would be effectively cut in half in today’s dollars and cut to near 25 percent in just 20 years.

So will this “plan” to cut social costs and this inflation management “plan” work and will it keep the United States government from default? It could if it actually worked as planned but American people are not that passive and government debt will be much more than what the government is projecting. It always is.

Americans are a unruly bunch unlike the Brits. In order to pass this health bill and not have it ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court they probably should wait until this administration stacks the court with liberals. Right now it should not pass the constitutional test and even if it does it is very likely that there will be a political backlash in 2010 and 2012 that will repeal most of the health care reforms that they pass.

The health insurance companies are not going down without a fight and they have a very big lobby in Washington. The American people will soon  become enraged under any government run health care system and they will fire their elected officials.

There is also demographics to deal with. It will be almost impossible for government to pass anything that the baby boomers do not like. They have the votes. So real cuts in Social Security or other entitlements in the lifetime of the bulk of the “baby Boomers” is not a political reality.

So if we are going to live in reality we should know that on the government spending side there is not going to be any major cuts so everything will have to be done through inflation, but that is impossible without also bringing about a complete collapse of our system. Why? Because the debt number will be worse than the blind optimists or politician pleasing bureaucrats in government are conveying to their leaders.

The CBO says we will be 22 trillion in debt by 2020 but that is total nonsense. Their figures assume a growth rate in the future like what we had in the past but reality says that there is no way that there will be that kind of growth during the next decade. The policies of Obama have insured and will insure that there will  be little real growth for the next decade. Just look at the real world today; Every time there is good economic news oil prices go up and so does investor speculation creating new bubbles. Obama’s millions of green jobs are just not going to happen and every green job that is created will be at the expense of two jobs eliminated through higher energy prices and higher product costs. If the government would have allowed drilling when people were saying “drill here drill now” we would have much new oil and new gas coming to market in a few years. The liberals environmentalists are not allowing that to happen so any real growth will just be stymied by rising oil prices and more imbalances in foreign trade. If they pass CO2 laws that certainly will raise prices and slow growth for decades.

The government is also not telling you that by taking over Fannie and Freddie Mae and corporations like GM that they have put the taxpayers on the hook for what could be a trillion dollar loss. Banks also will not be required to write off there toxic real estate loans until 2012. Guess who will then bail out the banks?

Right now we are having a little growth due to a natural economic cycle, increased productivity, and the unprecedented huge government stimulus. With all this we should now be in a roaring economy by now but the recovery is so weak that many are predicting another recession next year. The stimulus nevertheless must end or the CBO deficit numbers are totally meaningless. But if the stimulus ends and If they allow the Bush tax cuts to expire it will certainly put us back into recession.  Besides that, housing has a long way to go before any recovery, commercial real estate is now crashing and many more banks will fail that hold these loans. There will be huge future bail outs that were not budgeted. The federal government has even passed a bill that put a few trillion dollar contingency fund on the books for the next bailout of financial institutions that are now too big to fail. Unemployment is going to stay high throughout the decade and government is going to continue paying 10 billion a month for unemployment benefits or see destructive riots. Federal tax revenues are also going to be far less than what they are projecting. Many states will have to be bailed out or else the states and local governments will have to raise their taxes. That would also make the economy weaker.  The CBO figures do not reflect all this, so government deficits are going to be much higher than projected.

So the actual national debt will be closer to 35 trillion by 2020 not the 22 trillion that is being advertised by CBO. Even my figures assume no new major wars and that Republicans gain control of government in 2012.

Having said that, I will still assume that there will be some growth in funds over the decade but I think any growth will be less than the actual inflation. I think growth in revenues will be less than 25 percent for the entire decade because of recessions.  Assuming there will only be 2.5 percent inflation in the decade due to recessions and surplus labor, the 35 trillion debt figure in 2020 is really 26.25 trillion in today’s dollars and that is the figure we should work with when doing the math. Higher inflation than what I project will allow our debts to be paid with dollars not worth as much but it will also raise the national debt that much more.

In 2020 the United States will owe 35 trillion dollars (26.25 trillion in today’s dollars). With a debt that large you would have to think that anyone taking such a risk to finance it would want more than just the inflation rate. Let’s use a very conservative figure and say investors will want a 6 percent return on U.S. treasuries in 2020 with the  massive debt risk we will be by then. That will mean our interest payment will come to .06 * 26,250,000,000,000 or 1.575 trillion in the year 2020 (in today’s dollars). Total federal tax revenue is 2.1 trillion dollars today. So just to pay the interest on the national debt in 2020 will take 75 percent of all federal income (compared to less than 10 percent today). With 75  percent of incoming going to pay interest on the national debt in 2020 the federal government would have to borrow about $2 trillion a year in today’s dollars just to continue government for another year. By 2025 we will have to borrow the entire budget for 2026. Lest you think that inflation will help these figures, they will not. If inflation goes above the 2.5 percent figure I used for the decade the interest rate and national debt will also go up accordingly.

Who will even lend this money to us in 2020 when they know by 2025 we would not even be able to make the interest payments on our national debt? It is clear that within ten years America will have to default or hyper-inflate making the dollar worthless but don’t expect the crises to come in 2020 either. It really could occur some years before that date. It will actually occur when it sinks in to those purchasing our debt that we are a huge credit risk. As soon as that reality hits the world we will be forced to default or hyper-inflate. Some think this could occur as soon as this year. Others think it will happen by 2012. It certainly will happen within the next ten years no matter who is elected to office.

By the way, We cannot change government and grow our way out of this debt crunch by cutting taxes because that would increase the national debt even more before we could even start to grow the economy. It took Reagan several years and trillions of dollars of increased debt to get us out of the Nixon Carter economic disaster. This time the creditors will raise interest rates and cause the debt crunch long before lower taxes could grow the economy and reduce the debt percentage on our GDP.

Here is more food for thought on the dire economic situation.

This article really should be two articles but since the topics relate to the same problem of repentance in America I will try to integrate them. The question is, would Christian repentance in America heal the land or will national repentance be required to heal the land? Too often I hear teachers and preachers say that if Christians will humble themselves and pray God will heal our nation. Is that really true? We will look at this presumption later but first I want to deal with a related issue.

Often you will hear the slogan that “We must take America back” It sounds good but who do “we” take America back from and to whom do we give America to? The usual answer is that we give America back to “we the people”. Have we the people of America really lost America or did the American people actually create the America that we live in today? I think it is the latter. The American government today really reflects what most Americans wanted from our government over time.

It was the American people that elected the people that took much moral law and God out of the affairs of our nation. Now some people say they want morality back but they will not deal with the sins in their own lives. So how is morality even possible when the majority of people in this nation want evils absolutely identified in the Bible to be allowed in society? They even permit evils to be openly promoted to their own children and expect some moral outcome?

Most Americans could not even agree on what it is that God requires from a people and a nation. Only four percent of Americans have a Christian worldview. So any god brought back into America today would just be an empty suit anyway. He would be somewhat like many of our political leaders and even some of the clergy that claim to believe in God or claim to do His work but display by their actions and words that their god is not God.

It was most of the American people that wanted big government social welfare programs. People in this nation want cradle to grave security provide to them by a government as flawed as themselves. In fact, people in this nation demand so many things to be provided for them by government that the government is continually spending more than they have to give it to them.

Now some have been shocked by the economic downturn and realized that if the nation continually overspends there will be consequences so they are rebelling against the consequences instead of dealing with their own avariciousness and lack of responsibility that helped create a government made in their own image. Now Americans are pointing fingers at the politicians they elected claiming that they have been framed by the image made in their likeness.

Many Americans were living beyond their means and gambling on the come line believing their winning streak would never end. When the dice came up craps they could not believe it and like the spoiled boomer generation they are, they wanted and still want the government they created to bail them out and restore their fortunes.

Many do not even care that the bailouts mean that their children and grandchildren will have to pay the cost for them to continue to live beyond their means. The future generations of Americans will pay for this spoiled boomer generation either through inflation or a systemic collapse of the economic system and a great depression.

Now that many have been hit in the pocketbook they want to stop paying the bills period. That really is the main reason for the rise of the Tea Party Movement. There really is no common agreement among the people in The Tea Party Movement other than they want less spending and lower taxes. But in the spending area don’t dare touch any program like Social Security or Medicare because it impacts the old people that make up most of the movement and don’t cut defense because this movement is make up of American patriots so we need to continue to spend more than the whole rest of the world combined on the military.

The real theme coming from the majority of people in this nation is to tell government to stop spending more than they are going to take in, but don’t cut nothing that I want, and do not tax me to pay for it, and don’t borrow the money to pay for it either?

This entertaining article was written by someone who was at the Tea Party convention. The article should make it clear that the Tea Party Movement is no more united on the issues than are most Americans. It seems the main thing they have in common is that they are fed up with the politicians that most of them elected.

Does anyone really think that electing Sarah Palin or anyone else is going to fix America without a change in Americans? Can evangelical Christians (whatever that means today) actually take over a hedonistic America? Would non Word Faith evangelicals even support Palin when they find out that Rick Joiner would be her prophet Czar giving her direct messages from God? (think about it.) I bring that up because even the Christian evangelicals would not be united against the most popular right wing figures.

Heck, if you could even elect someone from the right wing in America (which is highly doubtful in today’s America with all its government dependents) it will just spawn a new movement from the left to oppose what you are trying to force down their throats. So I think the Tea Party movement is going nowhere because it is going to splinter into factions and even if it succeeds to be sucked into the Republican elephant it will not bring significant change until the majority of people in America actually want that kind of change.

As long as the spoiled Spock babies of the baby boomer generation (that showed their real stuff during the Hippie Movement) are now in the majority change for the better in America is not going to happen.

Let’s say the majority of the country moved conservative and elected conservative leaders would that change the lack of morals of the American people? Would the American people then just negligent the poor dependents that they created in prior administrations? They would do so at the risk of massive riots followed by a police state. So no, you cannot just change all the rules in the middle of the ball game or take the ball and go home and act as if the home team had no part in the nation’s past fiscal irresponsibility when the government has always been the government that the people elected.

Any nation anywhere on the political spectrum is doomed to judgment if evil people prevail. It is more a moral and immoral issue than a Left or Right issue. We should throw both parties out and have a moral and immoral party. One would be based on the truths of the Bible and the other would oppose them. That would make the lines clear to all Americans. Yet, I think when people found out how it will impact their own lives the majority in America would willfully elect the immoral party into power, for we Gentiles living in the flesh are just as rebellious as the people of ancient Israel.

America is a secular country. America in general is using natural means to deal with a world actually controlled by the supernatural. America does not in general try to use spiritual means to war against spiritual forces that have control over the natural world. America does not even acknowledge that these forces exist. So America is powerless when spiritual forces in high places come against her. This nation is only going to bankrupt itself by trying to police evils everywhere else in the world when by our own natural strength we cannot even police the evils going on in our own cities at home. The American empire will soon go into the dustbin of world history like all the empires before it unless there is national repentance and spiritual intercession.

If all  Americas would repent like the people of Nineveh there could be a delay in judgment but that can only come if God sends America a prophet and the people listen.  How about the ongoing message from the Spirit filled Church in America, does it qualify as a prophetic message to this Gentile nation? Are the people of America listening to God’s people and repenting? I think not.

Christians ought to know that our weapons are not carnal. We should not believe that Americans that are still living in the natural could live morally as if they had the Spirit. We Christians need to fight the spiritual war against wickedness in high places through the method outlined by Paul:

Eph 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

True Christians in America are only a small majority of the population. We are not going to make America Christian or make Americans less worldly through natural means. The only way we can actually change America at all is by spiritual warfare. There is no reason for God to cure natural problems of a nation that are the result of the sinfulness of the people of that nation unless they repent of their sins.

This brings me to the other issue I first spoke of when I started this article. I know there are many true Christians that think that if true Christians in a nation repent and pray that God will heal the nation. That is false presumption based on a verse ripped out of proper context.

2Ch 7:14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God was not saying what many well meaning Christians imply. He was talking about the nation of Israel. “My people” at that time was Israel and the statement implies that if the nation of Israel repents God would heal their land. It was not saying that He was going to heal the land of Gentile nations if some Christians in their nations repented. If you read the text in full context God also pronounces judgment on His people and claims that His people will worship other gods and be exiled. If you are going to apply this verse to Christians then apply the rest of the passage to Christians as well.

This really is a prophetic covenant promise to the Nation of Israel at the establishment of the Temple of God in Israel. Most of what is described in the passage occurred to Israel in the history of Israel but the need for repentance before Israel can be restored still applies to Israel today.

God judges nations based on the actions of the people in the nations. Christians can be salt and light in a nation and be spiritual intercessors so the leaders of this nation will make the right decisions for the sake of God’s purposes on earth. But, even in intercession our prayers need to be within God’s will for the nation. Also remember that are real home is in Heaven not here. God certainly is not bound to answer prayers that really amount to being selfish prosperity presumptions for the nation.

If Christians really wanted repentance in America they now would have to be praying for the opposite of prosperity blessings for America. There is no history of repentance coming through more prosperity. That is about as valid a thought as the thought that prosperity comes from spending more and going further in debt.

Actually, if the Church of God repents it will produce works of the Spirit and that indirectly might help a nation to be blessed materially but let’s not get the cart before the horse. The only effective way that Christians can heal and change America is to be used by God to convert unbelievers. It is not the Christians that need to repent to save America. It is the whole nation that needs to repent and believe God. Christians in America need to tell them that.

One of the problems I encounter in the comments on my blogs and in emails are views from Christians that lack a Christian worldview. Often their views originate from world philosophies, ideologies, theologies or human taught sociocultural suppositions rather than the clear teachings of the scriptures. That leads me to believe that these Christians do not know or understand the Christian scriptures and that they are more likely influenced by the world than influencing the world for Christ.

Barma Group – a respected Christian research firm, asked certain questions in a survey to determine how many Americans had Christian worldviews.  They asked the following questions:

• Do absolute moral truths exist?
• Is absolute truth defined by the Bible?
• Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life?
• Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today?
• Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned?
• Is Satan real?
• Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people?
• Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?

If you answered yes to all of these questions you would be among the only 9 percent of “born again Christians” that did! Only 51 percent of Christian pastors answered yes to all these question and only four percent of Americans.  What becomes of a church and a nation that clams God but does not believe God??

Our worldview is the framework from which we view reality it is how we make sense of life and the world. The Christian worldview is a understanding of world reality based on the teachings found in the scripture. Therefore, truths found in the scripture gives Christians the way they should live. So, understanding this, why is it that 9 out of 10 of people that claim to be born again Christians do not know these basic biblical truths? Obviously the survey displays that most people calling themselves Christians in this nation do not understand scriptures well enough to even define the truths preserved for believers.

Is it any wonder then when people claiming to be Christians take positions on this blog that are worldly and are in direct opposition to what true Christianity teaches? They never learned to discern good from evil. According to these surveys many of these worldly worldview Christians not only support sinful practices of others they even take part in the same sinful practices themselves at about the same percentages as the world.

Lets be honest. Many “Christians” embrace worldviews that actually originate from satanic inspired philosophies of, New Age, Marxism, Secular Humanism, Pantheism, Universalism, Hedonism, etc. rather than the scriptures. Instead of taking positions contrary to the world with all its demonic “ism’s” they are trying to fit in with the views of the world around them.

Most Christians go through life not recognizing that their personal worldviews have been deeply affected by the world education system, world media, false teachers in Christianity and any number of other bad influences. If Christians do not believe God’s word and do not use its teachings as a standard of truth then they cannot be effective witnesses to a lost and dying world. Looking at the surveys one has to come to the conclusion that most of the salt of the earth in this nation has lost its savior. So what should we expect to be the fate of “worldly Christians?

“Mt 5:13  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

With far less than ten percent of confessing Christians having a Christian worldview is it any wonder why “Christians” sometimes come here to disagree with Christian teachings?

One of the things I deal with almost everyday are trends in the world and the church and how it all relates to Bible prophecy. I try to be balanced and not join with all those Christians on the fringe who are convinced that there is some Satanic elitist conspiracy to immediately thrust the Antichrist upon us all and fulfill their fantasy of the world ending this decade. The spirit of antichrist is already alive and well in America but the Antichrist figure of Bible prophecy is not coming as soon as some seem to think.

I just do not see the evidence for this imminent Antichrist like some think they do. People thought they had the evidence many times in history. Just in this generation we have had the second coming expectations of the late 1980’s the late 1990’s and now the 2012 cult. The biblical evidence for those prior periods where actually stronger than any evidence presented by the 2012 cult of today. Their claims are subjective at best and they use one subjective theory to support other subjective theory. It becomes circular reasoning and it is not Bible based it really is mostly pagan based suppositions.

With all the Christians in the world that are in every organization you would think that someone could expose this vast conspiracy to take over the world and present it to us in a way that will lead most Christians to believe them. The truth is that if we had such proof we could prevent it from taking place but they never come up with anything worth taking to court. The truth of the matter is that conspiracy teachers are all over the board. They agree on very little other than that there are Satanic initiated conspiracies. Well we already know that there are conspiracies against the sons of light but He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. One thing that is notable is that most of these conspiracy people are always on the Christian fringe. Most either fellowship nowhere at all or else in small conspiracy minded cells.

The reason many of these are on the fringe of Christianity is because almost everything they build is off the foundation. They have left the foundations of the prophets and the Apostles and are in some off site lab trying to figure out God’s timing and His message about end time events through the actions of world elite bankers, analytical methods and through man’s own reasoning.

They say, lets measure the distance from the Temple to somewhere else on earth for that will reveal hidden knowledge, or lets measure the Pyramid to figure out the time of end time events, or lets look for hidden codes in the Bible to predict the future, or lets even say the Spirit put in the people of Israel in Ezekiel Chapter 37 was already fulfilled even though Israel’s people today are still filled with an antichrist spirit.

The latest antichrist expectation for the over excited is that some Mahdi will come out of well or a Lord Maitreya figure will come fulfilling the expectations of all Religions. Well I have news for Benjamin Creme and his Lord Maitreya. People have been waiting to see your Lord Maitreya appear for quite some time now. Remember, your followers were putting full page adds in national newspaper about his soon appearing several decades ago. So I guess the Lord Maitreya forgot to show up, or did he just fall asleep?

Don’t expect any Mahdi to pop out of a well either and lead Islam to take over the world. That is just another pagan fantasy. There are going to be many disappointed among the 2012 end of the world fanatics when they can find no Mahdi to fight.

Through my own experiences spanning four decades of  following the claims of self anointed prophets and writers with claimed new understandings I now get a little weary of it all. I could fill a dump truck with books written by Christian authors about Bible prophecy that they were ill advised to write. For example, 88 Reasons why the Lord would return in 1988, or Racing toward Judgment, or Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms (that make each chapter in the Psalms fit something that happened in the same year as the chapter number in the twenty century – what a crock), or Revelation 2000, or Armageddon Appointment with Destiny, etc. Now we have the  2012 new crop of useless books and the presumptions TV and radio teachers and false prophets where “Christians” hang on their every word. The reality is that Christians are just wasting their time with most of this stuff. These self appointed prophets and writers have no more knowledge about end times than anyone else. They just know how to write books that will appeal to those looking for a new special revelation.

The Rapture, and the tribulation with its Antichrist is going to happen in God’s timing and I seriously doubt that anyone can possibly know that it will happen in this decade in spite of those teaching this with best intentions.

The end of the worlder’s “Christians” are one side of the coin, on the other side are the leaders in Christianity that are increasingly being yoked with unbelievers in the world. Somehow they think they will make Christianity popular and something to be desired by the world.So they teach a flesh message that pleases the world of flesh still dead in their sins.

They really are soft and sometimes hard dominionists. We have people like Rick Warren and Joel Olsteen adopting the methods of the world because worldly techniques produce worldly measures of success. Nevermind, that there is no gospel of Jesus Christ ever given in all their methodologies and feel good messages. Now we have others joining this “celibate humanity bandwagon”. Forcus on the family seem to be going that way now that they got rid of Dr. Dobbson, as are many others.

Lets be clear. Jesus did not tell us to become like the world and He did not tell us to stop telling the world that people are dead in sin. People still need His salvation. Jesus did not say you can stay in your religion because all religions reflect God. Jesus said, He is the door to God and  nobody comes to the Father except through Him. The gospel is not telling the world they can become prosperous if they practice biblical concepts or humanism. The gospel is not about gaining worldly success and getting your best life now or some purpose driven life for people still dead in their sins. A gospel without a gospel of dying to self and of obtaining spiritual salvation through Jesus Christ is worthless. Those “Christians” that give the illusion that they are ambassadors for Christ without a gospel of salvation are apparently working for a different Kingdom.

The sad state of Christianity in America is evident when a supposed mostly Christian nation freely elects an administration that is hostile toward the teachings of Christ. So now these American “Christians” have been hit in the pocket book because the nation is under judgment so they wag God and country and think the nation will become prosperous again if they just change the leadership. So now it looks like these “Christians” will go from one extreme to another. They will go from electing someone who signs laws and picks aids that are hostile to Christians to wanting to elect someone that believes Word of Faith presumptuous false prophets give messages from God. So will electing dominionst or Christian cult influenced leaders solve the sin problem in the Untied States or will it just further divide the people?  Until “Christians” actually become Christians in this nation and live like Christians and work to convert the lost in this nation, America will remain under judgment and delusion.

The spirit of the antichrist is always within those not living for Christ and it will destroy this nation long before the Antichrist figure of Bible prophecy ever appears in the scene unless America repents and seeks the healing that can only be found in a nation that is actually following Christ.

One of the problems with a blog it that you have to post regularly or you risk losing your audience and your rankings with indexes like Google. However, there are those times that you simply do not have anything you really want to say at least nothing you want to write about in great detail. This is one of those times. Many things are going through my head but probably nothing worth writing on that I have not already written about.  Therefore, I am posting without any rhyme or reason and even I do not know what I am going to say today.

I hope all the people in Washington that hate global warming enjoy their snowstorm this weekend. Many of you politicians might move to another country and save us a lot of grief.

Looks like I will soon be buying some acreage in the middle of nowhere. I already have 20 acres in the middle of nowhere but I can see four lights at night. That is four lights too many for me. Another problem here is the house. In the Ozarks there are no building codes and the houses are usually built by handymen without plans and the houses turn out to be kind of weird. Actually some not so handy men build very weird houses around here. I live in a fairly weird house built by one of the above but I would now like to get my own not so weird house built where I can actually sit on the deck and have a view off the deck and not see any trace of humans or hear vehicles on some road. A house with big windows would also be nice so I can look out the window while writing these blogs without any rhyme or reason.

One of the issues I will have building on this remote property is that the nearest power line is 3/8 of a mile to as much as 3/4 of a mile from where I might want to build on the new property. The other problem will be keeping the road passable year around for the same distance. It goes down and up a big hill. It probably would make sense to go off grid rather than pay the cost of bringing in a power line but here in the Ozarks sometimes you do not see the sun for a week. Wind does not seem like an option either because we either get a lot of wind or hardly any wind at all.  I thought of fuel cells but the price of that technology is still way to expensive and so it seems out of the question. Any suggestions?

I found out this week that my first dog (Sparky – terror mix) has bone cancer. She has been a great dog and will be missed when we have to put her to sleep but right now she is in no pain and is living on sweet breakfast cereal and cookies since sweets are the only thing she will now eat. She certainly will not be around to see the Rapture coming before 2012. I don’t think my second dog Bubba will make the 2012 deadline either since he is a big dog and he is already over 11.  I believe the great prophecy teacher Jack Van Impe said that your pets will go in the rapture so it just has to be true. Right? So there is hope for my other four dogs.

Now a little about the economic recovery that is being hyped. Hahahahahahahahaha. Seriously, they obviously are reading tea leaves and are not reading what I am reading. Take a look.

The other shoe will fall on their stupid heads fairly soon. Wait to you see the number of property defaults coming this fall. How does government come up with the $1.5 trillion that will be necessary this year to pay for their previous government binges and also pay the 2 trillion budget shortfall projected this year? Simple. They just print $2 trillion of the 3.5 trillion. Think of the implications of governments printing and paying their debts with monopoly money.  There are only two reason why foreigners are still holding on to U. S. Treasuries (they are not buying them any more). They know if they suddenly start selling there will be a panic and they will lose their butt before they can get rid of all the dollars they hold. The other reason is that countries like Japan, Britain, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, etc are in worse debt shape then we are. The reason there is a rally in the dollar right now it that some nations are in real danger of going into default this year. That is a recipe for a world depression but who knows if the world power brokers want a depression followed by a world war to bring in a world currency or world hyperinflation and civil upheavals? Honest people disagree on how this will play out. But there is no possible way to ever pay off the debt with dollars valued at anything near what they are worth today.

I read a good article today about how almost all Christians in America are infected with the prosperity gospel. The last thing in the mind of Western Christians is suffering or sacrifice for the sake of the gospel. Western Christianity promises people abundant living in the flesh. Even most of those that tithe in the West hold God accountable to give them riches in the flesh because in their mind there is some kind of spiritual law that gives them worldly riches if they give ten percent.

I heard that Obama’s speech at the national prayer breakfast was so inspirational that everyone probably hopes he will never show up again. You can search for his speech on Google yourself. He never did mention Christ at the prayer breakfast but we already know why that could not happen.

I also read the usually on Iran and what we will or will not do about them. No experts seem to agree. This one writer I read argued that Israel will soon threaten to use nukes to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to force the U.S. to take them out conventionally. Who knows? My guess is that we will do nothing unless someone is attacked.

I also read about global warming and what a farce it is but nothing is new there except the continuing revelations about certain people cherry picking data so it will please the global warming taskmasters.

I read an excellent article written by Dr. Norm Geisler and Dr. Ron Rhodes chiding the Christian Research Institute (CRI) and Hank Hanegraaff for supporting a cult of Christianity called the Local Church (LC) movement (aka. The Lord’s Recovery and Living Stream Ministries) in a court lawsuit against counter-cult ministries. Apparently John Ankerburg  and John Weldon labeled the LC movement as a cult in their Encyclopedia of Cults and New Religions so the LC movement sued them and Harvest House for over a hundred million bucks. The LC movement lost the lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Texas. This is not the first time that Hanagraaff’s actions and theological positions have been questioned by his peers and other notable Christian theologians.

In the  article that you can find below Dr. Geisler and Dr. Ron Rhodes rightly question Hank Hanegraaff  and CRI for defending the LC movement in a civilian court and for Hanegraff’s position that the LC movement is orthodox when as they point out in the article the LC theology is not within Christian Orthodoxy.  Seems the LC movement has a very unorthodox view of the Trinity and thinks all denominations are apostate but Hank Hanegraaff was supporting the movement in court calling the LC movement solidly orthodox. You will find the rather long article written by Dr. Geisler and Dr. Rhodes that explains the abberrent doctrines of the LC movement and CRI’s inconsistent positions on the LC movement on Dr. Geislers website under “articles”. It is the first article on his list at the time of this writing. (Sorry, his website does not allow direct linking to articles)

Well there you have it. I think I have completed my Blog mission for today even if it was written without rhyme or reason.

How can there be any hope for America when many in America calling themselves Christians are also promoting and even embracing New Spirituality/New Age doctrines? We might expect that from unbelievers in America but we have people who claim to be Christians promoting and believing Satanic doctrines?

How did “Avatar” become the highest grossing move of all times without support from Christians in America? I know for a fact that “Christians”  support this blasphemous demonic move and tell others that they should see it because they liked it. Nevermind, that this film promotes New Age pantheism and is anti-Christ. Nevermind, that supporting these anti Christian movies just encourages others to make more of them.

Just throw in some eye candy or a little tickle of the ears and some “Christians” apparently will support the teachings of the Devil. They have no discernment and do not know the scriptures! Avatar is just the latest of many movies that distort and mock Christianity and promote demonic doctrines but New Age “Christians” are right there applauding in the new coliseums as the lions are set loose on true believers.

From Avatar and the Coming One World Religion on Lighthouse Trails website

Overall, the movie is strewn with ritualistic magic, communion with spirits, shamanism, and blatant idolatry as it conditions the audience to believe these pagan occult lies. In addition, the audience is led to sympathize with the Avatar and even ends up pulling for him as he is initiated into pagan rituals. Even the lead scientist becomes a pagan in the end, proclaiming that she is “with Eywa, she’s real,” and goes to be with her upon her death.

Given James Cameron’s track record of attacking Christianity, and specifically Christ’s resurrection in the roundly discredited documentary, The Lost Tomb of Jesus, it should not be surprising that he would write and direct a $300 million dollar propaganda piece that promotes the worship of nature and spirits.

Clearly, Hollywood has had a steady hand in turning America away from her conservative Christian roots to new age occult beliefs and practices. Pantheism appeals to the Hollywood crowd because it teaches that we are all God and that we need not be concerned about being obedient or accountable to a personal God who created the universe. However, it is not only Christ-rejecting directors who are seeking to get the world to embrace the worship of the earth under the guise of their imaginary Mother Earth Goddess; it is also the leader of the global warming movement himself, Al Gore.

With leading Hollywood directors and Washington political figures leading the way, America is quickly returning to the paganism that shrouded the world in spiritual darkness for millennia. May God help us heed the warning of the apostle Paul, found in Holy Scripture, who warned that the worship of nature in ancient times was the result of turning from the worship of the one true God who created nature in the first place:

No need for me to just pick only on Avatar the New Age paganism is now everywhere, It is even in the churches. How did the Twilight Series get so popular or the Harry Potter movies if American people do not want the occult? It is not just novels, there also are the “Christian” supported New Age teachings that are found in Books like “The Secret” and “A New Earth”. American Christians that watch Oprah makes her a big success and it does not seem to concern these New Age “Christians” in the least that Oprah promotes pagan doctrines that are contrary to true Christianity on her show.

Many of these same “Christians” also watch the TV prosperity teachers and attend their coliseums on Sunday where they throw truth to the lions for their own personal gain. Other New Age “Christians” go to Emergent Churches where they teach New Spirituality mysticism and make it acceptable by calling it contemplative prayer. They also subtly redefine Christian absolutes truths like sin, hell, and salvation to conform to politically correct universalism and pantheism.

Seems to me that “Christians” applauding the New Spirituality Movement are very ignorant of where this doctrine originated. Actually it originated with Satan in the garden and later became a religion in Babylon. The New Age version of this Babylonian religion was partly inspired by Alice Bailey and is now promoted by her many students. The New Spirituality Movement has become the new religious movement of hedonistic people that worship the created rather than the Creator.

Read what Ray Yongun has to say about this

In a manner of speaking, I consider Alice Bailey as an apostle of New Age occultism, and her writings as mystical revelations. She is telling the world the path it will be taking and how it is going to be done–in essence, a combined manifesto and blueprint. The fact that much of what she predicted has indeed actually happened gives even greater credence that her work really could be the design for the one Paul called “the son of perdition.”

Various church statements reflect Bailey’s dark prophecies that speak to the “revitalization” of the churches. Even now a recent Catholic dictionary states: “Current ideas about mysticism underscore that it is for the many, not just a chosen few.”11 An article in America, a national Catholic magazine, shows the result of this mysticism in regard to evangelization. The article, titled “Rethinking Mission in India,” states the spirit is active in Hinduism as much as Christianity and therefore both religions “are co-pilgrims on the way to fulfillment.” 12 The significance of this is clearly revealed in the following view from the same article:

Any claims to superiority are damaging. Religions need not be compared. All we are expected to do is to serve man by revealing to him the love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ.13

What is happening here is a complete turnaround regarding the meaning of evangelization. In truth, if you want to reveal to man the love of God, made manifest in Jesus Christ, you proclaim the blood of Christ for salvation! … [But] the view that Christianity is not the only religion that offers salvation fits the Merton/Nouwen notion of salvation rather than the one the apostles of the New Testament held.

Some day, and it could be soon, the Lord will allow the man of lawlessness to emerge. In the mean time, the world is opening its arms to wholly embrace a spirituality that will exist under the umbrella of mysticism. The correlating theme will be–we are all One. When the man of lawlessness does rise to power with a one-world economy and political base, he will seduce many into searching for their own Christ consciousness rather than the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Even many “Christians” claiming that they are following Bible prophecy are often really following New Age beliefs.

Dr. Hitchcock: All the 2012 hysteria can be traced back to José Arguelles back in 1987 when he came out with his book called The Mayan Factor.

He talked a lot about Harmonic Convergence at that time. After all, the real underpinnings of this whole 2012 phenomenon really is based in the New Age. In fact, this has been called by some “The New Age Eschatology” and the end time view of the whole New Age Movement. Just like the other religions of the world all have some view of how things are going to end. 2012 is from the New Age viewpoint.

Full Article

I hope this article will help Christians become very aware of two things.

First, much of Christianity in America is about one inch deep and that does not say much for the future of this nation no matter if the Left or Right is in charge running government.

Second, the world is being prepared for a New Age/New Spirituality Antichrist. The Antichrist will not be monotheistic.  He will honor the God of forces (Dan 11:38).  The lie of Satan from the beginning was that men can become like God. Thus the Antichrist will  claim to have evolved to fully contain the God force within himself.  In other words, the lie will be that God is a force and you become one with God when you attain Christ Consciousness.

So knowing these things any true Christian should stop applauding while other believers are being thrown to the lions in the new coliseums of the world.

I am sure Obama will spin his own scripted story of the state of the Union at his State of the Union Speech but the state of the Union is not going to be as stated by our lying politicians.

I think Americans should learn the real sorry state of the Union as painful as that news may be. The economy of the Union is not going to recover any time soon, in fact it is going to get much worse. The American economy is really going into an economic black hole. The link gives 20 darn good easy to understand reasons why we are not on the road to recovery.

In this second article Chuck Norris gives Obama and the state of the Union a grade of F. Norris points out at least twenty additional reasons why the State of the Union is on life support. I think most of what Norris points out in the article can be summarized in just one sentence. If Americans do not return to a Christian wordview and follow biblical principles and elect moral people there is no hope for America.

If that article does not get people’s attention Vox Day tells us about the Zombies that ate America.  The article is about the bankers that continue to rob the banks while they use a “no account system” that hides the fact that most of the banks are still going deeper in the red.

Now I also hear that government wants your 401K retirement account. That is the last great pool of wealth in America for government to tap. From the article it seems that Obama wants to make you use your 401K savings account to lend money to the U.S. Treasury.  Just think,… a national health plan like program for your retirement. I am sure you can trust our government to have the money for you when you retire. Gee…I wonder what happened to all the surplus money paid into the Social Security Trust Fund?

Here is food for thought… you can invest in treasury debt and get interest rates well below inflation and watch the value of your nest egg shrink each year. Or if the nation defaults on its debt or revalues the dollar you can lose almost everything all at once. It sounds like the perfect transfer of your wealth to government retirement system to me. That is the people you elected America!

If you read all those articles I think you should get the real picture about the real sorry state of the Union.  If  enough Americans actually learned about the state of their Union they might repent of their apathy and amorality and do something positive about it. If they do not, Amercians will soon be living in a failed state living under tyranny and persecution.

I have no inside information of any phase two where Obama will be thrown under the bus by “them” but I just have this gut feeling.

I never believed that an obscure Far Left Congressman with no achievements could get to power without the backing of “them” and I am not sure that “they” did not even expect Obama to help bring the nation to the dire straights it is in. After all, Obama is their own creation.

I think they always intended to throw Obama under the bus after he achieved what they expected of him but the Tea Party Movement and the Brown election might have now moved up the date. It now appears that Obama will not get most of their socialist globalist agenda passed so “they” just might move up the date of phase two of their agenda.  Hypothetically phase two is when they throw Obama under the bus believing that such action would turn America into the police state that they want.

Was Obama the created expendable patsy chosen as the sacrifice to bring in their greater global governance agenda through government dictated police actions? We may soon find out.

I cannot tell you exactly who “they” are but I do think “they” are powerful elitists that now are in control of most of the world and I believe they will do almost anything to bring about total global governance run by “them”.

I do not think “they” intend to have a democracy on the earth and if they bring in in their agenda threw democratic means it never lasts. “They” achieve their agenda quicker through conflicts and most of the world “they” control has a  ruling oligarchy not a republic or a democracy (e.g. EU, China, Russia etc). “They” are not people with horns sticking out of their heads. They might appear much like the Oprah’s of the world that seem so nice and well meaning but also think they have all the answers for the less evolved of the world. You see, “they” really intend to have a world that is totally controlled by “them”.

“They” actually believe that those that disagree with them are hindering a evolutionary leap forward for mankind. “They” think those who hinder them are expendable for the greater good. “They” despise and attack true Christianity because it gives freedom but “they” love religion because religion enslaves and is a means of control.

So why do I say that I think Obama is about to be thrown under the bus? These two articles might help explain why. The first article makes a strong case why Americans should be afraid. We are no longer the country that some people think we are. We are really just one step from a police state. There is no good outcome for America because the people living here have already lost their government to “them”.

Just imagine what “they” could accomplish toward their agenda if something happened to Obama? If “they” could pin it on actions of terrorists we could have world war. If they could pin it on someone identified with the Far Right in America we could expect riots in all the big cities followed by martial law and a police state. “They” also probably have enough on Obama to make him resign if they wish. Such a scenario where Obama is removed might be the plan for a complete takeover of America by “them”.

By the way, I also think Bush Junior was almost thrown under the bus but when George Bush Senior explained to him who was really running the world Junior chose to became one of “them”. That may have been the reason for his big Left turn in his second term.

Another reason I think they may soon throw Obama under the bus is that much of the nation is now catching on that their emperor has no clothes and is a liar This second article documents his lies. Obama will now become a liability to “them”. If Obama continues in office he is now likely to become a catalyst for a national movement back toward constitutional government. That is the last thing “they” want.

Like I said, I  just have this gut feeling, perhaps I will be wrong and Obama will be removed at the ballet box but somehow I do not think “they” are about to let that happen.

Pray for Obama and not just for his sake and the sake of his loved ones. Because if “they” throw Obama under the bus it will bring the worst outcome in the history of this nation.

I have found one absolute truth in every evangelical Bible believing church. (I have attended many churches with all the moves that I have made over the years). That absolute truth is that most people that attend these churches have never read through the Bible even once in their entire Christian lives. How do they really know a biblical Jesus without reading the Bible? Apparently some Christians think they know all about  Jesus but they do not know or care that the Bible is the only infallible source that accurately speaks of Him?

I realize that there is Christian teaching in many of these churches where you can find out things about Jesus without reading the Bible for yourself. Nevertheless, how about a little self motivation to read all that God has given us about the Jesus of the Bible rather than waiting for the pastor or teacher to dig something up for you?

I also know that in these churches there always is a core group that do read the Bible but they are most often just a small minority of the membership. Christians might wonder why it is that they have no motivation to learn about the things of Jesus and what that says about them?

I really do not understand Christians that are not driven to find out the words of God. When I first believed I was driven to read the Bible several times in the first couple of years and I also spent many hours listening to many radio teachers and tapes. I was always finding out new things that I did not fully understand before. I Still do. By the time I first attended a church (a few years later) I had more understanding of  the Bible than most people that were attending the church all of their lives. I just do not understand Christians that are not motivated to read the words of God and learn.

How can one really know Jesus without reading the Bible? How can anyone live a fruitful Christian life without knowing the Bible? How do you know you are even saved without reading the Bible?  The Bible is all about the work of Jesus in His creation so if you believe Jesus is God and expect Him to save you why do Christians not want to read what God has to say to them?  How does a Christian even defend their faith without reading the Bible? Obviously they cannot and cults are well aware of this.

Most Pastors and teachers know what I am saying is true. The Bible illiteracy in our Bible churches is deplorable. One of the things I like about Calvary Chapels is that they teach book by book through the Bible. So if you attend regularly in a Calvary Chapel and stay long enough your going to hear the whole Bible and get the pastors educated commentary on the Bible to boot. However, most churches do not teach through the Bible and I am not saying that they should.  The pastors should do what God is telling them to do in the congregation they lead. The ultimate responsibility to know the Bible rests with you alone.

Christians follow “Christian” TV hucksters and book peddlers that tickle their ears with promises of a prosperous life in the flesh because they do not read the Bible. Christians get confused by cults because they do not read the Bible. Christians get sucked into the latest New Age doctrine or successful living fad book because they do not read the Bible. Christians look for answers in pagan theories about the end times because they are not reading the Bible

From the comments on this Christian blog it is clear to me that many people commenting here have never read through or understood the Bible. Don’t take me wrong. Many of the people that come here are the cream of the crop in Christian knowledge and they stand out like a light against the darkness. But how can the biblically illiterate “Christian” come here and discuss Christian topics or claim that I am wrong if they do not even know what God has to say? First read the Bible and see what God says before you tell me I am wrong.

You have “Christians” trying to find a Jesus made up in their own mind through contemplation because they will not read the Bible. You have “Christians” that go to barns on Sunday that have entertainment services because they do not want to hear the truth from a real Bible teacher. You have “Christians” that think that people can be saved outside of Jesus because they do not know the Bible. Every latest heresy of the week is popular with Christians that are not reading the Bible.

I remember listening to a well known Bible commentator that had been commenting on the Bible and Christian topics for years admit that he never had read through the Bible. It took a lot of guts for him to admit that and I am happy to hear that he finally did, but I have to wonder why a Christian radio commentator had not read through the Bible even once. How many others teachers like him are still out there?

Today we have translations of the Bible that are written so anyone can read them yet people were more Bible literate when all we had was the Bible in King James English. The membership of Christian churches are not only dumbed down and apathetic they are caught up with everything in the world but God’s own word. “Christians” find time for the Internet, for talking or texting on cell phones all day, and for watching endless TV but they cannot  find time to read God’s word.

Is it then any wonder why most of America claims to be Christian but hedonism, debauchery, pride and corruption of all sorts reigns in our land.

We recently moved to a very conservative “Christian” area of the United States but I have been told by other Christians here not to trust most “Christian” real estate agents in this area. I should not trust most of the local Bank owners. I am told not to trust many of the “Christian” builders and handymen. I am told not to trust most “Christians” that provided services. My wife has already been defrauded by a “Christian”  con artist running the “Christian” youth center. I am told and am inclined to believe that the “Christian” politicians and prosecutors in this county will take the easy way out. Drugs and all sorts of sex sins and perversion reign in this “Christian” area.

Few “Christians” attend Sunday evening and mid week service in the best of Churches. “Christian” people lie to your face and tell you what they think you want to hear. Pathological liars in this “Christian” area are a plague. I do not know what Bible all these “Christians” are reading that makes them think they can act like heathen and call themselves Christians. But hey! This is “heartland “Christian” America”!

Judgment is coming on “Christians” and on America because  “Christians” obviously lack knowledge about the things of God and what He requires of His people. We should take heed to what God said to Israel as an example for us. All Christians should learn what God says and take heed before this passage happens to the Bible illiterate “Christians” of America.

Hos 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7  As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Had what happened in Haiti this week occurred on the same scale in America many people would be saying that Bible prophecy was being fulfilled. They would be saying that America was Babylon and it has now fallen. Haiti is not in Bible prophecy and neither is America but throughout history God has only put up with evil nations for so long.

Haiti has been a nation that has sold itself out to Devil worship through Voodoo for two centuries and the consequences have been turning what should be a resort Island into a hell hole with the lowest standard of living on earth. Eighty percent of the people in Haiti practice Voodoo mixed with Catholicism. In modern times Satanic Voodoo has been the official religion of those leading Haiti and they have been oppressing the people of this nation that are living under tyranny and spiritual bondage. America has even helped to prop up these evil leaders.

God gave Haiti plenty of time to repent and has sent in many missionaries to get leaders and the common people to give up Voodoo spiritualism for true Christianity but in the end most would have have nothing of it.

Now in one hour judgment has come on Hatti and many tens of thousands of people are dead and the port city is destroyed. Like most judgments of correction it can become a blessing in disguise if people of Haiti repent of their evil. This judgment can give Haiti a chance to break their bondage to Voodoo and build a  foundation for a new beginning based on the Bible. However, they must  heed the spiritual advice of the hundreds of Christian relief groups that will now be coming to Haiti to help them and they must give up their wicked religion. After all, what has appeasing demonic spirits brought Haitians besides poverty, misery, bondage and now total destruction?

America also can take a lesson from what occurred in Haiti. In one day our nation can be cast down as well, but in our case there will be few coming to help us. If America continues on its present course the outcome is inevitable. Also be aware that American Patriots and Christians who see these things coming on America and try to prepare and warn others will become enemies of evil people running our nation . They wish to control all that do not see things their way and they have a false view of who the real enemy of America is. It really is big government control freaks, corruption at the highest levels and Islamic radicals that hate us.

I just read a post that I really think gives a very good analysis of what would occur if there is a sudden break down of our own system. I think the article is well thought out. It gives the likelihoods that everyone should be aware of but it also gives astute preparations for survival. Just remember that after an EMP, a financial collapse, or a major earthquake, in just one hour we could find ourselves in a position very much like those living in Haiti today.

In the article I am not sure he has given enough consideration to a nation under martial law. If the government and police forces actually have the time to set up a command and control structure I see a police state running things and local networking  groups would not be calling the shots for very long.

I do think the churches would have a primary role after any major disaster because they are the most highly organized local groups in our nation. How much the churches would obey government rather than God depends on the church. If  many of our churches stay on Bible ground rather than becoming a muzzled arm of the state, it could be a great tool after a national disaster to bring much of this nation back under God.

Your input is invited but please read the three articles I linked to in this post to get the background information before you comment.

This administration has the audacity to blatantly commit high crimes and misdemeanors as if they are above the constitutional law of our land. They think that the American people are too stupid or too apathetic to do anything about it. They are in for a rude awaking when the inevitable backlash comes.

When enough people in this country catch on that criminals have been running this nation for quite some time there will be real change. The Tea Party is just the start of this “fed up with government” movement.  The latest batch of criminals in Washington seem hell bent on destroying this nation as fast as they can. It reminds me of what Satan will do when he is cast down unto the earth and knows his time is short. He will set out to destroy all flesh on earth through his anointed Audacity-in-Chief. I am not sure that the Far Left is not also deliberately trying to destroy this nation for its own end. The concept seems ludicrous but many on the Far Left actually hate everything America stands for.

Even so, there is no doubt in my mind that the Marxist fascists that are now running our government will lose control. They might even try a military martial law takeover after some real or created crises but the American military will turn against them in the end. America is not Europe there are many more Christians in America and America is still overwhelmingly conservative. The rank and file military are not going to go against the will of the vast majority of Americans for very long. Keep in mind that all in the armed forces swore to defend the Constitution when they enlisted.

The highest law of our land is our Constitution and we have a teacher of constitutional law as our own Audacity-in-Chief. Apparently he uses his knowledge of constitutional law to try to make it say what it clearly does not. He is a postmodernist. He is like the liberal preacher that reads the Bible and picks and chooses only the passages that support his own Far Left ideology. In fact we know that Obama does that with the Bible or he would not be legalizing immoral practices. So it should be no wonder that he does the same thing with our Constitution.

Nevertheless, as hard as the liberals try to redefine the words of our constitution there are too many other documents written by our founding fathers that make the meaning of the words in the constitution absolutely clear. They did not write a living document like Obama and these liberals want to claim. They wrote a constitution founded on absolute biblical truths. You can no more redefine the Constitution to what you want it to say than you can honestly redefine the truths found in the Bible. Some will try but they are heretics.

I think the Democrats know how much time it will take to challenge all their unconstitutional actions through the courts and they think by that time they will have a Supreme Court packed with liberal clones. Even if that turns out to be the case, the majority of the people of this nation will have had enough by that time. There are provisions in the Constitution for out of control tyrannical government.

There have been a lot of unconstitutional actions by prior federal administrations as well, but they never had the audacity to make it as obvious as they do under Obama administration and the Far Left. Obama has the audacity to not even attempt to hide hiring liars, tax evaders, perverts,commies and freaks in his administration. He promised he would have an open administration but everything is being done in secret behind closed doors and critical details of legislation are hid from the public in thousands of pages of legalize. The hate bill was passed by attaching it to a critical funding bill for national defense. The people doing this are scum suckers they should be tried for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Liberals might even ask what is unconstitutional about our federal government actions? I would turn that question around and ask the liberals what Constitution is this government following?  They are not following the America’s Constitution that retains to the states and the people what is not given to the Federal government by the states and the people. The liberals rather than follow the Constitution are following the plans of Marxist and Fabian socialists that already control much of the rest of the developed world.

Just the other day Obama modified an executive order that will allow international police forces to operate with impunity on U.S. Soil?? That is unconstitutional! I won’t get into all the ramifications that this single action means against the rights of all Americans. You can check into this yourself here. Here is another view of this ongoing inner attack on the United States.

Did you know that at the same time that they were ramrodding the unconstitutional health bill through the Senate they also passed another 4 trillion dollar bail out provisions for the banksters . The next time they need a bailout the law to give them trillions of dollars is already on the books. Who gave the congress the authority to give away taxpayer money to private banks? The American people have been robbed more than once by congress and banksters. The latest robbery of the taxpayers bailed out bankers and selective corporations. It was clearly unconstitutional.

The Health bill that will force people to buy health insurance or pay a fine is clearly unconstitutional. For government to dictate a federal health plan over the health plans of individual states is unconstitutional. For government to make special deals with certain states at the expense of people in other states is unconstitutional. To force people to buy insurance or pay a penalty is unconstitutional.

Our government has been running  undeclared wars contrary to the Constitution for many decades. Will it ever end? Our annual defense spending is larger than the next 25 nations combined.

The hate bill that was recently passed is also unconstitutional. It makes a mockery of justice just to appease those who want to believe perversion is normal. I do not think government should be in our bedrooms but I do not think perversion should be acceptable in a civil society.

Government forcing the teaching of doctrines of perversion to our children in schools is unconstitutional.

Our whole monetary system  is unconstitutional.

Our tax laws are unconstitutional. Our tax system is a means of funding many other unconstitutional actions and is used to redistribute wealth.

The Democrats intent to pass unconstitutional cap-and-trades laws and the EPA is now setting up unconstitutional rules to control carbon dioxide that has nothing at all to do with global warming. This carbon control is not about global warming at all. It is about setting up rules and regulations for global governance, greed, power, and wealth transfer.

The federal government intends unconstitutional control over all water in this nation. That gives them unconstitutional control over almost all land uses.

The federal government wants unconstitutional controls over everyone’s farm animals.

The federal government unconstitutionally took over major financial institutions and industries in their to big to fail scheme. They dictatorially decided what corporations lived and died.

Our trust funds have been robbed by the federal government. There is nothing in them but IOU’s. Social Security and Medicare were to be insurance funds for people who pay into them all their lives. They were not to be a piggy bank for the government to rob. Those who allowed the robbing of our trust funds should be tried for high crimes and misdemeanors. Now taxpayers will have to foot the bill again to pay the cost of these entitlements that the government robbed.

Many Federal laws break the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. The U.S government now resorts to what can only be described as extortion to force states to comply with unwanted federal mandates.

Federal government taking ownership over state lands is unconstitutional. The Federal government claims to own over half the land in some sovereign states. Then they dictate to the people of the state the land uses allowed.

The Federal government is ever eroding our freedoms of speech and religion and they will certainly try to take our guns if they can create a believable national emergency. I am not talking about a false flag, although anything is possible with these people. More likely with Obama in charge of national security and him showing weakness to our enemies he knowingly or unknowingly invites an attack so that martial law could be declared.

The unconstitutional private Federal Reserve is creating vast amount of money out of thin air to pay for all the bailouts and guarantees and that will soon make the American dollar nearly worthless. Our own government will not allow the Federal Reserve to be audited because they do not want the American people to know the truth.

Do you know that the next agenda of the Democrats after the Health bill is to provide a way for illegals to become U.S. citizens? They also intend to pass a Universal voter registration bill that will unconstitutionally supersede all state laws. Everyone on any government dole roll will automatically be signed up to vote. They would include illegals and criminals (actually illegals are criminals). I guess the fact that most of these voters they want to get registered would vote Democrat is just a coincidence. Anyone really think that this administration will not take radical action to stack future elections?  What next, mandatory voting for those on government assistance?

The government drug wars have militarized the local and state police forces of this nation and have done nothing but make drug trafficking more profitable while eroding the constitutional rights of all Americans. The drug wars have zero chance of success but they will lead to a police state. We already have 2.3 million people in prison most for drug crimes. America has by far the highest incarceration rate in the world and the inner cities are still controlled by gangsters and drugs are everywhere. The fact of the matter is that Government cannot enforce morality without become a police state. Is that really what Americans want?

The only peaceful outcome of all this that I see is if the Tea Party movement regains control of government and puts it back under the Constitution before the Democrats bring the nation to open civil war.

I have been sitting here listening to Brannon Howse interviewing world trend forecaster Gerald Celente. It was one of the most interesting interviews I have heard in a long time. Celente is not a prophet so what he says will not necessarily take place but I think you would have to be foolish to discount all of what Gerald Celente is saying. The man certainly calls them like he sees them and he does not pull his punches.

Trend researchers study today’s current events that will bring tomorrow’s effects. I see much the same things as Celente coming but I am not as sure of the timing as he is.  Celente has a whole staff  to analyze all the issues and he has had a very good track record in predicting world trends. That is also why Gerald Celente is now a very hot item on talk shows. Celente sees the crash coming in 2010 so if you believe he really knows what he is talking about there is little time left to prepare.

Here are some highlights of the Celente interview, at least that is what I got out of listening to the program, but listen to the Celente interview yourself if you can spare an hour.

• In 2010 there will be a major terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11 because we continue to make many new enemies due to our foreign wars and also because WMD are getting easier for enemies of America to obtain.
• The attack will bring the world into the greatest depression because governments do not have any more resources to advert it.
• Even if there is no attack there will be an economic collapse in 2010 for any number of reasons.
• There will be a run on the banks and the government will close all the banks for a period of time to devalue the dollar.
• America is now under the control of banksters and the military industrial complex.
• America is under fascism.
• There will be major social breakdown in the big cities. There already is in some cities.
• People need to come up with a plan for how they will get through the coming crash and disorder.
• Martial law and the loss of more rights will take place.
• A false flag operation may take place.
• A huge anti immigration movement will take place all over the world.
• A third party will form in the US in 2012 and change government.
• Secession movements will grow and the United States will eventually break up into smaller nations.
• If  America or Israel attacks Iran it will be the start of World War III.
• Saudi Arabia is involved in a war in Yemen and oil installations in Saudi Arabia may now be at risk. Should an attack occur on a Saudi oil field it could spike oil prices enough to cause the economic crash.

Imagine if you wake up tomorrow morning and the electricity is out and your heat is off. You also have no water or telephone service. You find your neighbor and then he locates an old battery operated shortwave radio that is still working and then you hear this:

An EMP has occurred high over the United States from a nuclear explosion that is believed to have come from a missile from some unidentified ship and the entire electrical grid in America and parts of Canada is down.

Official United States government sources could not say when anyone in the United States would have electricity again. Experts say if the damage to electrical generation equipment and electronics is as severe as some officials fear it could take many months before electricity is restored in many parts of the United States. They say even if  little damage was done to the electrical generation equipment it will still take weeks to get most of the grid back up.

Riots and looting are taking place in many cities and martial law is declared throughout the United States. The Department of Homeland Security has nationalized all local police forces and said that looters will be shot.  Everyone but critical emergency responders are told to stay home. Americans will be given further instructions as to………….”

I bring this EMP discussion up again because yesterday a person brought to my attention that nothing is being discussed on the Internet about what people should do to prepare for the aftermath of an EMP attack.

I wrote about the subject of  the possibility of an EMP attack in a series I wrote called Imminent dangers to the United States. Any one of the six dangers I wrote about in that series could be the reason why America is not in Bible prophecy.  I wrote about this EMP danger in 2006. Now almost 4 years later the danger is growing and still very little has been done to insure that the people of the United States could survive an EMP. If you think the EMP danger is not a real threat, read what commissioned experts said before the Senate in a 2004 hearing on the EMP threat. Very little has been done since that report. Vital infrastructures are still not protected from a EMP event.

So there is a real possibility that one day you will wake up and find out that you are in an extended black out.  What would you do? What are you now doing to prepare for such an event. Did God guarantee Christians an interrupted supply of electricity? One might see how suddenly God could judge this nation by just allowing this to happen. Within days social order would break down in the mass panic to acquire  food, water and energy.

I have to admit that I have done little to prepare for this very real danger myself even though I wrote about it. My excuse is that several physical changes of location has made preparations for such an event nearly impossible for me. I do know that this EMP threat is a very real possibility within the next decade. It is probably more likely than not. Experts have said the same thing. However, people in California also know that the big earthquake is coming soon but they still live as if it will never come. Ancient Israel thought judgment would not come upon their generation even after being told it would by prophets of God. I guess it is just human nature to believe that disaster always falls on someone else.

Anyway, I plan to do more preparation as soon as I can figure out what it is that I should do. That is where you people that are preparing come in. We need to hear a preparedness discussion on what you are doing to prepare for the aftermath of an EMP attack. Or for that matter anything that might bring about civil disorder in this nation. Even an economic collapse would bring that. What do you think Christians should be doing to prepare for the inevitable decline or fall of this nation?

Now don’t just tell us that God will provide because you choose to continue to live in Laodicean apathy on your own secure hill top while the enemy is climbing the cliff that you think protects your rear end (true story of Laodicea). There were also believers in the land of Israel that were taken captive to Babylon when Israel fell. If God takes his hand of protection off of America it is not going to be pleasant for Christians living here either.  Therefore, lets have a preparedness discussion from those that are actually doing or contemplating doing some survival preparations.

What preparedness have you done for the aftermath of an EMP and what advice do you have to help others survive an EMP attack?

You might want to watch this.  Brannon Howse is quite right these are the main dead people influencing liberals and globalists to change America into a collective socialist “new age” funny farm.
