Iran and the solutions to Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons is the number one concern in the world other than an economic collapse but a military strike on Iran could also push the economy of the world over the edge or even start a world war that will rage from Israel to India and even beyond through terrorist related activity.

People who study the Iranian crises and those that study Bible prophecy have suggestions of how the Iranian crises may play out:

Some think that America or Israel will bomb Iran. That of course risks the scenario of an oil related economic crises and even a world war. It also would only delay Iran from getting nuclear weapons for a couple of years. Iran already has the nuclear knowledge and they will retain the knowledge in spite of any bombing. The only way to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons long term now by force would  be by an occupation of Iran. That is not likely. At least lets hope so, or welcomed to the start of world war III.

Others think we should turn up the heat by means of economic sanctions against Iran. Any rational thinking person should know that sanctions alone have never worked against nations run by tyrants and they are not going to work here either. China has oil agreements with Iran and Russia has strategic interests to keep Iran as an ally so Russia and China are not going to agree to any sanctions that would actually harm Iran. So, sanctions have zero chance of success and frankly I think everyone knows this. The pretense is just a facade being used as a delaying tactic to sideline those that want to bomb Iran yesterday.

Still others think we should do nothing and allow Iran to become a nuclear state thinking that Iran would then act responsibility. But the leaders of Iran have proven that they are irresponsible and quite frankly quite nuts. If Iran became nuclear all the nations around Iran would also become nuclear. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt have flat out said they will develop nukes if Iran is allowed to develop nuclear weapons. All of Europe would be under the threat of a nuclear Iran and even the United States would be at risk from a nuclear EMP  attack or Iran sponsored nuclear terrorism. It also is not rational to believe that Israel could ever allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. So, obviously allowing Iran to possess nuclear weapons is not even within the realm of possibilities.

Obviously none of the above scenarios are an acceptable solution to solve the grave Iran nuclear weapons problem. So what is left? I have suggested on a earlier post that the solution could be an internal revolution in Iran to overthrow the Muslim theocracy and its appointed figure heads. Others then have suggested to me that this revolution is not going to happen because the tyrants have all the power. On Feb 11th we saw that the tyrants were able to stymie the opposition by filling the streets of Terran with the ten or twenty percent that still support the Islamic theocracy and also by trucking in hirelings from outside Terran to help suppress any opposition. The Western press was not allowed to see areas that were not under full control of the Islamics but in spite of what the Western media saw in Terran the Green Revolution in Iran is not dead.  There will be another day for the vast majority of Iranians that do not want a Islamic republic. What the Iranians really need is a catalyst for a revolution. Had there been pictures of people being run over by tanks there might have been a Revolution but the Mullah’s were careful  to not create martyrs on Feb 11th. They also did not allow free communications so the opposition had problems they did not anticipate so they lost round two to the Mullahs but there will be a round three. Either side could score a knockout in the next round or in any subsequent round because there are just too many unknowns for any prediction of outcome.

Anyway, short of a Iranian Revolution there is no good solution to the Iranian nuclear weapons program. America really cannot be heavily involved in any Iranian Revolution either because the people of Iran still remember the U.S. support of the Shaw. Even if the tyrants only have support from only ten percent of the people they are able today to keep the ninety percent in check. Its the same old story whenever tyrants rule and possess all the guns. They can control the sheeple with a small force. Unless the military rank and file turns against the Mullahs they will stay in power.  But, the prestigious and more highly paid Revolutionary Guard Corps are the threat that keeps the military under control.  This is a pattern with all tyrants they have top down control.  If anyone in the ranks dares to question anyone above them they risk getting killed or imprisoned. it is very effective control and it is active in Iran.

So again, what actions can we take against nations like Iran that are controlled by tyrants? We really cannot bomb Iran without risking dire consequences for the world and our over extended military already has more than enough fires to put out. So, maybe the United States needs to rethink its whole strategy for how to deal with nations run by tyrants?

When tyrants are in control the problem is usually not with the majority of the people of a nation. The problem is that the sheeple allowed tyrants to gain total control over them. So it does not make a whole lot of sense to war against people already oppressed by their bullies. The victims of the bullies should not be the enemy the bullies are the enemy. Therefore, we need to war against the tyrants of these nations. If we can eliminate the tyrants the oppressed people will gain control. So then the question in the case of Iran becomes how do we free the people of Iran from their tyrants?

I do not think it would be all that difficult if we used all of our high tech military capabilities and surveillance agencies effectively and give them the highest priority on this Iranian problem. We would strike only the head of this snake. That means we would not attempt to bomb the nuclear sites or the infrastructure of Iran or even the regular military. For if we did that we are going to kill many innocent people and instead of our actions bringing about an internal revolution against the tyrants there would be a war rally cry against the external invaders. So this operation must be done in top secret and carried out with surgical precision. We might take some lessons from how Israel gets their man. Here is how I think the operation could be carried out.

Operation Defang the Snake.

NATO would target the ruling mullahs, the puppet leaders, the Revolutionary Guard leaders and Revolutionary Guard military assets. For a number of months NATO would by every surveillance means possible follow and document the movements of all targets pre-determined to be hit. Their daily locations and habits would be plotted and recorded.   On a day known to only a very few with need to know NATO (mostly US forces) would hit their targets by every high tech means at there disposal. It would include massive use of U.S. Predators, cruise missiles, special forces etc. The entire operation to defang the snake would be completed in two or three days. There should be complete press black out on the entire operation. All communications in Iran should be blinded by EMP weapons or jamming. Even the Iranian people should not know what is happening in their country until the head of the snake is removed and defanged. After the defang operation is completed we would air drop green pamphlets in the cites telling the people that most of the tyrants that oppressed the Green Democratic Movement of Iran have been taken out by the Iranian resistance along with help of NATO allies of the Iranian people. It should tell all the Iranian people to take to the streets and overthrow any remaining oppressors and declare a secular Democratic Republic. At nearly the same time Iranian resistance leaders would be positioned by special forces in all the large cities and given the means to get out the message through electronic media.

As a side benefit just think of the fear this operation will put into other world tyrants and the high ranking supporters of  all such tyrants. It could be a new model to deal with nations run by tyrants in the future.

I know some teachers of Bible prophecy will say this revolution in Iran cannot happen because Iran comes with Russia against Israel in the Ezekiel war. It is true that Iran comes with Russia but looking at the almost feeble military of Russia today I think that the Gog war is still about two decades in the future. I am not talking about a fall of Islam in Iran as a result of this Iranian revolution but only that Iran will change into a modern secular run country until the time of the Gog war. If Iran’s nuclear facilities are bombed by Israel or America like some Bible prophecy teachers believe there simply is no way any time soon that Israel can be living in peace and security as described in Ezekiel before the Gog war. There will be no peace and safety while Iran is rebuilding its nuclear capabilities.

There really are only four options in my opinion.

1. The present leadership of Iran makes peace with Israel (that may happen when hell freezes over).

2. Iran is bombed and a more moderate government results and scraps the nuclear weapons program (But bombing is more likely to produce endless conflict).

3. Iran is bombed and is also occupied until near the time of the Gog war. (Who will occupy Iran? Certainly not us).

4. There is a internal revolution in Iran and a more moderate secular government scraps the nuclear weapons program for a peaceful nuclear program until the time of the Gog war.

In light of world events I think a Revolution in Iran seem to be the most likely scenario that answers how Israel can possibly be living in peace and security without fearing Iran if the Gog invasion actually takes place within the next twenty years like most Bible Prophecy teachers think.

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.

Jesus asked this question, “when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Lk 18:8).

Here is the full parable.

1   And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6  And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Jesus was saying that  God would speedily avenge the elect that call out to God day and night but the parable also gives us the reason for God’s delay in not immediately answering their cries. The answer is that God is longsuffering over the vessels of wrath not willing that any of His vessels of mercy should perish (Ro 9:22, 2 Pe 3:9).

There is another passage in Revelation chapter 6 that sheds further light on this passage.

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11  And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

The wording and context of the parable in Luke and the prophecy in Revelation tells me they correlate and say much the same thing. By correlating these two passages with the wheat and tare parable of Mt 13-25-30 we see that the elect in the Revelation prophecy are the same as the widow and the same as the wheat in those parables. The adversary is likewise the satanic people or the tares dwelling on the earth.

We know from the scriptures that after thousands of years of God bearing with the tares on earth that God’s judgment will come on the vessels of wrath. The major mystery that remains in this passage is why does Jesus ask if  there will be faith on the earth when He comes? Obviously the widow (the elect) is the one praying to God to be avenged so she cannot be among the faithless.

One then might wonder why Jesus even asked if there would be faith on the earth at His coming? Jesus certainly knows there will be believers on the earth when He comes or there would be little point of His coming for His own at all. You cannot be one of the elect crying out to God if you have no faith. The answer to the riddle is that Jesus was talking to those left behind after the Rapture in Lk 18:8. The acceptable year of the Lord ended at the Rapture so those that remain are under the day of vengeance (Isa 61:2) until the arrival of the Kingdom age. Those left on earth after the Rapture of the Spirit indwelt Church will have to endure a fiery trial to determine if they will believe God and obtain faith and salvation (Rev 3:10 – 2Th 2: 7-12). During this tribulation period works will be required to demonstrate faith Mt 10:41-42, Rev 14:13. All on earth will have knowledge of God and Jesus Christ before the end comes (Mt 24:14). So all on earth will either accept the truth or they will believe a Satanic lie (2 Th 2:10). Those that accept Jesus Christ and do works fitting of a believer will be saved.

Some also might wonder exactly where the elect will be while this trial is taking place on earth? They will be guests or wards of the heavenly court. While the adversary is being avenged on earth and the righteous Judge of the earth is looking for faith on the earth, the Spirit indwelt elect of the acceptable year of the Lord will have been taken out of harms way and will be adorned and prepared to become the Lamb’s wife.

Now I know that raises certain questions in the minds of those who do not believe in a pre-wrath rapture. They think we are talking about two comings of Jesus but actually we are only saying that the second coming of Jesus is accomplished in two stages. First Jesus comes in the heavens and sends for His faithful elect on earth and they are taken up to the Holy City that will be coming down from the third heaven to orbit the earth over Jerusalem (hardly science fiction). While the elect bride is being prepared for the wedding to the Lamb in Heaven the adversary is being dealt with on earth.  After the tribulation of those days every eye will see Jesus coming in great power and glory with all His angels and saints and all living will appear before Jesus to determine if they are found worthy to go into the Kingdom Age.

So the answer to the question will Jesus find faith on earth is yes, no and then yes? When Jesus comes for His elect there will be no others with true faith on the earth left but when Jesus comes in glory there will be many tribulation saints present that obtained faith in Jesus Christ during their tribulation trial.

Like many fellow Bible prophecy students, for a couple of years I took the position that Israel or the United States will bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities “any day now” The bombing in my mind was imminent. If you remember many thought that Bush would do it before the election primaries and then before the election and then before leaving office.  If anyone was going to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities the best time to have done so was before Iran acquired the nuclear know how. However, that did not happen.

If anyone should bomb Iran today it would not achieve much since Iran already has the nuclear know how and they could rebuild their efforts in just a few years.  Today we really would have to invade and occupy Iran to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Does anyone think that the American people would tolerate an occupation of Iran after Iraq and Afghanistan? Further, in Bible prophecy we see that Persia comes with Gog (Russia) against Israel in the latter years. This could not happen if Iran was occupied by the West.

Therefore, I no longer think it is likely that Israel or the United States will bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities, at least it is not imminent (so having said that, it will probably happen tomorrow). There are a number of additional reasons why I no longer believe that Iran will be bombed even though I know that some fellow students of Bible prophecy will disagree with my analysis.

There is the start of a revolution going on in Iran. America is going to wait to see how it plays out before we get ourselves in another war. Many think the green movement in Iran will be crushed by the Mullahs. Others think that this will turn into a full fledged revolution and that the end of the Islamic regime is inevitable. Whatever the truth of the outcome, I do not think we are going to bomb Iran or allow Iran to be bombed by Israel until this Iranian green revolution fully plays out. We may get a clue where this is going when millions of Iranians take to the streets on Feb 11.

I think the United States has made it very clear to Israel that we will oppose any unilateral actions at this time. Israel is not stupid. They know they cannot fight the entire Middle East without the support of America and the leaders of Israel have no faith in God so don’t expect them to rely there for help either. I think Israel would have to have hard evidence of weapons grade uranium being produced in Iran before any attack would be authorized and if they actually did have such proof then America would be with them.

Since Iran cannot be allowed to have nukes and there is nothing in Bible prophecy about Iran until the Gog invasion I am now inclined to believe that Iran will decide not to develop nuclear weapons. I believe this most likely occurs because there will be a popular secular revolution in Iran. Then, in order to become a full member of the world the people of Iran will choose to convert the nuclear weapons program to a peaceful program and allow international oversight.

Next on the agenda for the Middle East is probably the Psalm 83 war. That war is now imminent. It will bring the destruction of most of the military forces of the Arabs. It will probably be kicked off by Hezbollah. Sure Hezbollah is supported by Iran and Hezbollah is chomping at the bit to go at Israel but Hezbollah knows they need Syrian and Iranian support to succeed.

If Iran has a revolution Hezbollah will lose Iranian support and they will have to fully rely on Syria and Arab nations. Then the players of the war of Psalm 83 are fully in place. Iran is not mentioned in Psalm 83 but all the Arab nations around Israel are.

Certainly there  is a possibility that the Mullahs of Iran could try to kick this war off to forestall the revolution in Iran but doing so might also be the catalyst for the Iranian people to throw off the Mullahs rather than see their country destroyed. Especially if they should see Damascus in ruins (Isa 17:1) because Syria used weapons of mass destruction against Israel or hit their nuclear reactor spreading radiation on the people. If Iran was involved I would expect the same fate for Tehran but there is no hint of that in Bible prophecy. So either Damascus is a demonstration to Iran to cease or more likely Iran is not involved in the war at all. Remember that Iran is not Arab, in fact the Persian people and the Arabs have no great love for each other. It will not take much for Iran to turn against the Arabs if the Mullahs are out of the way.

Today even under persecution the common Iranian people are becoming increasingly open to the gospel. There was an article on this in the latest Voice of the Martyrs Magazine. So rather than a imminent bombing of Iran I now expect a revolution in Iran and a window where the gospel can be preached until some future time when Russia leads a great host of nations against Israel in the Gog war.

Nevertheless, we cannot be dogmatic about these speculations and your opinions about the fate of Iran and how this will play out may be better than mine. So you are invited to present your food for thought here and I intend to butt out unless I am actually asked something.

Here is some food for though from an astute Iranian about what he thinks will happen in Iran. Is Regime Change coming to Iran?

What happened in Iran on Feb 11? Is Revolution by the people still coming?

Did the green Revolution in Iran fizzle or was it just invisible to the selected media?

Some wonder why Bible prophecy is so cryptic? The answer is that understanding of  both parables and Bible prophecy are only for the astute elect. Jesus taught in parables at His first coming so that those wise in their own understanding would not understand the things of God. The Scribes and the Pharisees did know the scriptures but they lacked understanding and could not properly discern the scriptures they knew. They would not see that Jesus was clearly taught in the scriptures because in their own self righteous religious understanding, the Messiah would enable them and not correct them.

It was also obvious from what we have been told in scripture that even the disciples of Jesus did not understand many of the parables. Jesus had to explain them privately to his disciples.  After Jesus rose from the dead one of the first things that Jesus did was to open the understanding of His disciples by showing them the scriptures that taught about Himself (Lk24 25-27). Take note that Jesus taught them from the scriptures rather than just revealing Himself to them in special revelation. It is important that people know the scriptures rather than look for the things of God in some special Revelation. Only in the breaking of the Bread did they finally recognize that the risen Savior had been among them teaching them all this time.

The parables at first were given for the astute elect of Israel that were hungry to know the truths of God. The parables were explained to them by Jesus. When the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost the door was opened for all believers to understand the things of God. But nevertheless, not all seek, and not all ask for understanding, and not all hear what the Spirit is saying. Many do not meditate on the words of God because they do not know the word of God.

Furthermore, nobody is really going to understand scripture without the Holy Spirit. So being Baptized into Christ comes before any real understanding. Many remain blinded to the meaning of parables and also Bible prophecy because they either do not know the scriptures or for various reasons they never got understanding from the Holy Spirit.

Those in Christianity blinded by things of the world and dull of hearing about the Lord’s second coming will not see or understand the scriptures where Jesus fulfills future Bible prophecy. Those dull of hearing as it relates to Bible prophecy are those that in practice have given up on any literal future fulfillment of Bible prophecy on earth. Instead of seeking understanding in the scriptures they substitute theories of theology that make prophetic passages conform to their religion.

Satan and all the world blinded by him do not know the future. The best they can do is guess or try to manipulate world events to try to make it come about. Nevertheless, God is in control of all future events not Satan. Those without understanding of Bible prophecy cannot know the future so they often dabble in occult practices to try to figure the future out. We see that happening today.  Those today that mix paganism and Bible prophecy are doing it because they are still blind and they think they found answers about the timing of the second coming of Jesus through pagan methods and theories.  They try to make Bible prophecy conform to the latest pagan theory but one originates from God and the other originates from Satan. You cannot get understanding of what God said about the future by mixing truth and lies.

The sons of Satan continually attempt to make the world system conform to the teaching of their own false prophets who get their message from devils. In recent times we have seen examples of  attempts to bring about a world under the oppression of Satan. There are religions like Islam founded on false prophets. There are the philosophies and worldviews of Fascism, Marxism, Secular humanism and New Age/New Spirituality, they are all founded on false prophets.  With most worldviews outside of Christianity the driving force behind them is the antichrist spirit found in paganism and pantheism.  All of the founders of these world philosophies or worldviews dabbled in the occult. We have seen many attempts of Satanically inspired people trying to bring in a world system that will conform to the teaching of their own false prophets but they all fail in the end. They will continue to fail until God removes the restrainer in His people.

So I think that those that tell me about some Satanic plan to establish a Satanic New world order really miss the whole point. What else is new under the sun? God is still in control of the earth and Satan can do nothing that God does not allow. Satan has been trying to discourage and defeat the Sons of light and bring in his own kingdom for six millenniums but only in God’s timing will Satan be given the power to bring  his counterfeit kingdom on earth. Even then, it is only granted for a very short period in order to deceive those on earth that rejected the love of the truth (2Th 2 7-12).

Jesus taught in Parables to help illustrate spiritual truths to those that have the eyes to see and ears to hear and understand these things.  Why Jesus taught in parables is explained in several passages but I have one that I want you to ponder on. That is the Parable of the Sower (Mt 13:18).  The sower is Jesus. The seed is the word of the Kingdom. The ground are the people that the word falls on. The people that can hear the word and that allow the word to take deep root in themselves will produce for the Kingdom. Those that produce much will be given more authority and responsibility as a reward. Those that produce little will have the authority and responsibility they had taken away and the rewards they should have received will be given to those that produced.  Further light on rewards and the taking away of rewards can be found in the Parable of the Pounds in Luke Chapter 19.

Another reason why Jesus taught in parables was so those that sought out the mysteries of the parables would understand (the wise – the astute elect). Bible prophecy is much the same. The world and even some Christians are not looking for the second Coming of Jesus by searching the scriptures. Instead, they are looking for the end of the world through the teachings of false prophets. They will never understand Bible prophecy or know the time of His coming by believing the false prophets of the world. Nevertheless, the wise will understand in the end time (Dan 12:10, Mat 25: 4)

Those Christians with preconceived presumptuous theologies like replacement and supersession theology will not understand Bible prophecy. The religious leaders of Jesus time thought they would recognize the Messiah when the Messiah came and fulfilled there preconceived theology but He came as scripture said He would and the religious leaders did not even know Him. The builders of Judaism rejected the chief cornerstone of their own religion. Had they really understood the scriptures it should have been quite clear to them that Jesus was the Messiah but they were more worried about keeping up religious appearances and lording over men.

Many of the religious leaders today are cut from the same cloth. They do not know or teach anything about Bible prophecy and the second coming of Jesus Christ. They have become blinded by worldly worldviews. Since they have little or no understanding of Bible prophecy they just make it allegory. As allegory they can redefine Bible prophecy to say whatever they want. Many today also just make sin and hell and judgment on this evil world allegory as well. They redefine scripture so that God becomes a politically correct being that must obey human reason.

Nobody can understand the true meanings of parables, Bible prophecy, or the deep things of God by human reasoning or through human preconceived theologies. Deep spiritual truths are given to those who can chew the meat of God’s word and build upon it by taking Bible passages and correlating  them with all other scriptures to try to find true understanding. All is done by serious study of scriptures with the help of the Holy Spirit. Those that still suck milk are not going to get parables or Bible prophecy correct and those who think they will get enlightenment on Bible prophecy from pagan sources are totally deceived.

As Issiah said:

Isa 28:9   Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

Certain Bible prophecy teachers are saying certain things that can only be labeled as dangerous theology.

The dangerous theology I am talking about comes from subjective interpretations of the Parable of the Fig Tree mentioned in three gospels. The problem is that they teach their conjecture as truth and that is what makes it dangerous theology. When they say the Rapture has to occur before the end of next year based on their own subjective interpretation of the Parable of the Fig Tree they are teaching dangerous theology.

I am speaking of  those that say the Rapture has to occur by next year because of their conjecture that the Parable of the Fig Tree has to be talking about Israel’s rebirth in1948 and their conjecture that a generation or a lifespan is seventy years. They go on to say the Rapture would have to occur at least seven years before the seventy years are up so they say the Rapture has to occur by the end of 2011. Even worse are the ones who tie in pagan hype to come up with a 2012 tribulation. When once credible Bible prophecy teachers dogmatically set the final date for the Rapture or the tribulation they are on dangerous ground theologically.

If Christians actually believed what they are teaching as fact, the Church should do no planning for anything after next year. So if you believe them don’t build that church or start that Bible college. Why even go on with your Bible translating since you will never will get it done before next year? Everyone might as well just quit college and stop future planning for anything. Just go wait on a mountain top. Do you get the picture?  This date setting from a flimsy interpretation of the Fig Tree Parable is very dangerous theology. Thank God that most of the Church have not and will not buy into Rapture date setters.

What are those that are saying these things going to do when 2011 comes and goes and there is no Rapture? I already know. They will just change a lifespan or generation to mean 80 years and say the Rapture has to happen by 2021.

It is no skin off their nose because many already claim that a lifespan can be 80 years according to the Bible. But what about the people that actually believed your dogmatic teaching that the Rapture would occur before 2012? What about all those that will give up on Bible prophecy teachers because they once again prove to be wrong. Is it any wonder why in the last days some will mock and say where is the promise of His coming (2 Pt 3:4)? Every time some Bible prophecy teacher cries “Lion” and Jesus does not come at their call the skeptics of Bible prophecy grow in number.

I also have to ask the people that claim to believe these subject interpretations a question? Do you really dogmatically believe that the Rapture has to occur by next year? If you really do I certainly do not see any indication of that. There is no increased activity from Christians to get things completed by next year. Many of the Christians I am in contact with seem to be worrying more about an economic collapse in the United States, and for good reason. Why worry about that if you actually believe the Rapture will happen by next year? If you really believe the Rapture is coming by next year just send me your money you will not be needing it.

So, obviously such conjecture by Bible prophecy teachers do not really impact the lives of Christians anyway. So what is the point for giving gullible people false hope of an early escape? On some Bible prophecy forums all troubled people do all day is talk about their hope of escaping in the Rapture by next year. The need for escape even borders on faithlessness in my opinion.

Anyone see a parallel here with 88 reasons why the Rapture will occur in 1988? That well meaning but very wrong Bible prophecy teacher thought a generation was forty years. The fact of the matter is that we do not know that Jesus was talking about the birth of secular Israel in 1948 in the Parable of the Fig Tree .

A word to the wise should be sufficient, but will it be?

Bible prophecy and discernment websites attract a large number of bottom feeding scum suckers whose only purpose seem to be to muddy the waters for others. Their purpose in life is to swim from site to site to argue against orthodox Christian theologies that they have a problem with. In the last few days I had a number of these coming in through this blog or emailing me. If you have a Christian site on the Internet you know that this happens regularly. I am not talking about non believers they are not nearly the problem as are the bottom feeding scum suckers that identify with Christianity.

There are differences in theology among honest Christians but I do not go on preterist, amillennial or post tribulation blogs to argue my Premillennial Theology with them and there lies the difference the scum suckers do exactly that. They are wolves in fish clothing that try to find a clear pond so they can muddy the waters with whatever new scum is stuck in their mouth. Often they just gurgle Christian identity concepts and not true Christianity.

When you catch them in your waters they scream and demand to be released so they can continue to muck up your waters. When you cast them out they continue to try to come in through some backwaters.  Ban them and they change their ISP or they change their email address and act like they are someone other than the scum suckers that they are.  But their scum sucking mouths always gives them away.

I do not know what motivates religious scum suckers to muddy clear waters but it certainly is not Jesus.  I understand why “Christians” have different views on theology but I do not understand why “Christians” go to other Christian internet sites to attack the theology of those that do not agree with theirs. They seem to want to force their own narrow views of certain passages often taken out of context on everyone else. Their whole existence seems to be to find one gullible convert to agree with them.

They often email me with a thousand points copied off the Internet that they think supports the cesspool they often swim in. They believe I should take all day responding to every argument they dredge up as if it has not already been answered elsewhere. When I have responded they did not read or answer what I said and just sent me more points in reply. In other words, they are not asking me questions or trying to find out my views. They are just trying to lecture me. Then when I do not see things their way they resort to name calling (or this is a good one “I will pray the Lord opens your closed mind”).

You scum suckers really need to get a life.  Believe it or not some of us Internet Christians teachers have work to do and our lives do not revolve around answering just your emails.

Most of these scum suckers seem to sit around all day reading and listing to other scum suckers that tickle their ears and then they see it as their mission in life to seek a water hole to muddy.

• They lecture me that America fulfills Bible prophecy on Babylon (it does not).
• They lecture me why the sitting president is the Antichrist (I have heard this stuff since JFK).
• They lecture me why the Antichrist must be a Muslim and Islam is the Beast (it is not).
• They lecture me on the identity of the Antichrist (they have it all figured out).
• They lecture me on dozens of  other obscure points of Bible prophecy.
• They lecture me why the tribulation already started.
• They lecture me that our government played a role in the 9/11 attack (lunatics).
• They lecture me on various other conspiracy theories.
• They lecture me that teaching Rapture Theology will cause Christians to lose their faith in the tribulation and send them to hell (total nonsense, real Christians do not lose their salvation)
• They lecture me why Israel is now the Church.
• They lecture me on mathematical calculations and codes that pinpoint the date of the return of Christ (always this decade).
• They lecture me on the prophecies of the various false prophets that they follow.
• They lecture me that the Trinity is not in the Bible.
• They lecture me that all Christian denominations have been corrupted and only they have the truth.
• They lecture me that they are one of the two witnesses. One last week even claimed to be the return of the Son in Ireland. (When I did not agree with his delusion. He says he warned people about me and about my website in his book). In his emails he even put curses on me (Gee…I am so frightened).
• They lecture me on scores of other issues that has nothing to do with Christianity and the mission of the Church on earth.

To all of you scum suckers I say  G E T  A  C H R I S T I A N  L I F E. This stuff is not being motivated by the Holy Spirit. You are doing nothing useful in your life when you spend all your time on aberrant fringe theories or worse. You that do this are only muddying the waters for those that really want to learn. Guess what spirit is the real motivator behind you?

Most scum suckers seem to be looking for a fight with our government and the NWO as if the Antichrist and the great tribulation has already arrived and if  we teachers do not agree with them them then we are leading people astray and need to be publicly rebuked.

I think the only reason these people have so much time to muddy the waters of Bible prophecy and discernment websites is because they are idol or even institutionalized. Get a Job! Take your lithium!

The bottom line is that all who come on my blog (or email me) to argue against Premillennial Theology or against the imminent return of Christ or that want to muddy the waters on my blog with Christian identity rhetoric or that want to promote false prophets are not going to be welcomed to comment on my blog at all.

Go swim elsewhere and send your belligerent emails to someone who really cares. I am not going to change my theology just because you can cut and paste Internet scum. So next time I encounter one of these scum suckers I probably will just give them a link to this post made just for them rather than waste any of my time.

In other words all you scum suckers – G O  F I S H!

Do your realize that most that identify with Christianity still believe in Amillennial Theology? One of the problems with Amillennial Theology is that it allegorizes or spiritualizes just about all future Bible prophecy and robs the prophets of their real message and often replaces what they literally said with a man made allegory and then the allegory also varies with the views of different commentators.

I am not sure how many of you are aware of it but I have a rather lengthy article that gives many arguments against Amillennial Theology. I also have a lengthy article that argues for Premillennial Pretribulation Rapture Theology.

This is posted to make you aware of my articles on these subjects. There won’t be any comments allowed on this particular post because from prior experience I know people with other theologies will come here and want to start an endless argument on theologies that have been already argued to ad nauseam, as if  their arguments will resolve differences in theology in the limited comments section of a blog post.

If you look on my blog side bar you will see by far the post that is being hit on the most frequently is The Book of Enoch and Bible prophecy. That fact probably has more to do with keyword rankings in Google then it does with the interests of the readers of this Blog, but even so, the account in Genesis of the Son’s of God taking the daughters of men as wife’s and producing an offspring called the Nephilim seems to be of great interest to a whole lot of people. Perhaps that is because people sense that there is more to the story than what they were taught in Sunday school on this topic.

The usual view taught on this is the Sons of Seth theory, but that theory just does not answers the many questions it raises. So instead of believing doctrines of well meaning but wrong teachers. I really have to take what the Bible says on this subject literally. I can also confirm through other ancient books such as The Book of Enoch and the writing of Josephus and others that the ancients also took quite literally the account of angels taking women and producing a mighty race called the Nephilim.

It then seems to me that if you take what is said literally these offspring of angels and humans corrupted the world and all air breathing flesh. They were the reason why God had to destroy the world to preserve the pure Adamic race through Noah so that a Kinsman Redeemer of Adam could come and pay the price and redeem the Adamic race from their bondage to sin.

In other words, this corrupting of human genetics was an attempt by Satan’s angels to literally short-circuit God’s divine plan of redemption to save the human race.

I will not get into all the details because  Jack Kelly already says it better than I can or anyone else I have read in his article called, The Nephilim.

By the way, Jack Kelly is a very astute Bible prophecy teacher that writes about many topics that you are not likely to get very clear or correct answers to in Sunday School. On a scale of one to ten among Bible Prophecy discernment Jack Kelly is a ten. He is not afraid to disagree with other teachers that teach a more classical view on Bible prophecy if that is where his own study leads him. His website is gracethrufaith.com but don’t go there unless you want a lot of food for thought on Bible prophecy and other biblical topics of interest.

On the Nephilim subject and Jack’s article, I will just add a couple of my own thoughts here. I think that one or more of the wife’s of the sons of Noah carried the Nephilim gene and that is why they began reappearing some time after the flood and why God told Israel to kill everyone in Canaan. I do not think the angels that sinned and were chained after the flood were replace by more angels that did it all over again like I have heard some teachers say.  I think there had to be a genetic mop up operation after the populations of Canaan had become genetically corrupted again and that is why God directed that all the people occupying Canaan had to be totally wiped out.

I wrote my own article on this topic about ten years ago, I called it Aliens. So what does UFO Alien conjecture have to do with what happened in Genesis? I guess you need to read the articles to get the full picture on that.

It Seems to me that when Satan is cast out of heaven unto the earth just prior to the 3 1/2 year great tribulation, that this attempt by Satan’s angels to corrupt all flesh is going to get new legs. I do not know how it will all play out but I think it has something to do with the Mark of the Beast. Perhaps the Mark is more than just an identification chip to buy and sell. Perhaps if you take it, it will actually modify your genetics and you will no longer be a pure human, you will be transhuman or even superhuman.  It may be the great evolutionary leap forward for mankind that is being promised by “New Age” and “New Spiritually” teachers.

So could you resist this temptation, deception or delusion to become superhuman if only you took the Mark? Most will not, I think most will be eager to take the Mark that will initiate them into the collective spiritual body of Satan. My conjecture is that Satan will promise people very long life or even eternal life while people are still in their bodies of  flesh and still in their sin. All they need to do is take upon themselves the Mark that somehow gives them human angel hybrid genetics.

The Antichrist or False Prophet wont tell them that those who had corrupted genetics before the flood became wandering spirits after their bodies were destroyed in the flood (the demons) and he won’t tell them that they also will be tormented forever and they will not find rest. However, God’s angels will warn all mankind not to take the Mark so none will be without excuse. Thus those who seek to save their mortal lives by taking the Mark will lose their eternal soul.

It is also silly for anyone to even think they can physically fight against Satan and his angels with human weapons. Those that are arming for this war are on the wrong page in the wrong book. Will you really try to fight against angels with bullets? Your weapons used against them would do nothing but get yourself killed. Nobody will be able to stand against them, not even the two prophets of God. However, Jesus Christ will defeat all those that follow Satan at his second coming.

Top Christian subversive, Richard Foster, leads the Spiritual Reformation Movement and Richard Foster is also held in high esteem in the emergent subversive church movement. So whats the big deal about the Spiritual Reformation Movement and the Emergent Church? Only that spiritual reformation concepts and the contemplative prayer concepts of the Emergent Church Movement are much the same. This, “get in touch with your own spirituality movement” really comes from practices found in Buddhism, Hinduism and and Roman Catholic mysticism. They all descended from the practices of ancient Babylon. It has nothing to do with concepts taught in Christianity and the Bible.

The concept of spiritual reformation as I understand it, is that they believe one can become closer to God by meditating on their own inner spirituality or god feelings.  Jesus may not even be required by these emergent subversives because they think some Buddhists and Hindus have developed spiritual reformation without Jesus.  Most “Christians” that are into this conjure up a Jesus of their own liking rather than the one revealed in the Bible since most either never read the Bible or they have not understood that the whole Bible is about God’s salvation through Jesus. Thus, they mediate on some Jesus of their very own making that will mystically whisper things they want to hear in their minds eye while in an altered state of conscientiousness.

But, I have emerging news for those emergent’s that are doing this. You cannot become more like God by meditating on your own concept of god. There are no mystical short cuts to Christian spirituality. You only get Christian spirituality through being born of the Spirit and then you grow toward spiritual maturity by living out your faith in practice. You cannot  become more spiritual by trying to become more spiritual any more than you can develop faith by claiming faith. You cannot become closer to God if you are still dead in your sins. Other religions have never come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness of their sins so they cannot have a path to God, they only have a path to their own self deception.

What they never tell you in all the spiritual reformation and contemplative prayer teachings and seminars is that you are a sinner separated from God and you must repent of your ways and be saved through the blood of  Jesus Christ.

Some of what is going on in the Emergent Church Movement reminds me of the old Charismatic Church Movement that thought they could attain a higher spiritual level by just making up their own reality. They called it a “second baptism”.  So what new levels of spiritual maturity have they achieved over the years over other Christians that never bought into their “second baptism” delusions? They thought this would bring them into a relationship with God where they could heal, do miracles and tell each other the future. Instead they often believed false presumptions that are still being displayed to the world with healing circus performances, laughing hyenas and false prophets. Some still think they are “Joel’s Army” or the “Third Wave” and they are going to take the world for Christ by spiritual force, but they display that they do not even have the weapons of spiritual warfare to defeat the devils in their own lives and in their own local congregations. There are no short cuts or mystical paths to spiritual maturity. You do not develop spiritual maturity though a ritual or by believing false presumptions and you do not get spiritual maturity through contemplative prayer and spiritual reformation.

All these new movements are really just putting fancy new covers on the same old book of mystical lies. The Spiritual Reformation Movement and the Emergent’s are just finding common ground to become part of the larger Interfaith Movement. The Interfaith movement is being pushed by people like Tony Blair that recently converted to Catholicism, and then started a Interfaith foundation to find common ground among world religions. Tony Blair also wants to be head of the EEU. This almost sounds like something out of Bible prophecy. The woman (interfaith harlot religion) rides the Beast (That come out of the area of the Roman Empire)

Here is something I found in Jan Markell’s article:

The East is Seducing the West.

Pastor Bob DeWaay writes in his Critical Issues Commentary, “I met a lady who attends a Christian college. As part of her study program, she was required to take a course on spiritual formation. Spiritual formation in her class also concerned the study of Roman Catholic mystics and the search for techniques to help those who implement them feel closer to God. This study also explored ’spiritual disciplines’ which promised to make those who practiced them more Christlike. After she finished the class, she shared her text books with me.”

He continues, “To hear evangelicals like Dallas Willard and Richard Foster tell us that we need practices that were never spelled out in the Bible to become more like Christ or to get closer to God is astonishing. What is more astonishing is that evangelical colleges, seminaries, and church denominations are requiring their students and members to study practices that are relics of Medieval Rome, not found in the Bible, and closely akin to the practices of manry pagan societies.”

You need to understand that this spiritual reformation garbage is being pushed by many Bible colleges. So is it any wonder that so many young pastors teach this stuff to their congregations? By the way, while I am on that subject, why do churches hire pastors (elders) right out of Bible college to be the elder of their church? How did Bible colleges become the proving ground for spiritual qualifications to be the elders of the local Church? Now you know why there is more and more error being introduced into western Christianity. The spiritually immature are put in positions to teach and mislead, all the way from Seminaries and Bible colleges to our local congregations and small groups. Everyone thinks they have a young Timothy leading them but more likely their leader could be named “Trial” or “Error”.

In the same article quoted above Jan Markell gets it correct when she says:

So while the term spiritual formation sounds like a good concept as we all want to grow spiritually, it comes with questionable baggage that is, once again, mystical and hardly sound. Ask questions of your church leadership or college staff. Challenge the issue by pointing out that much of this foundation has been laid by mystics and Catholicism – and throw in some Buddhism and Hinduism as well.  You will then conclude that when the term spiritual formation comes up as it does more and more frequently, it should have a “buyer-beware” label on it. If you see your church bulletin announcing its arrival, don’t just sit there — do something. Confront your leadership!

Such things as the Bethel University symposium on “meditation” and the spiritual formation movement are driven by what is known as “contemplative prayer.” Contemplative  (mystical spirituality) is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.  It is more likely to derail you spiritually than draw you closer to God.  Don’t believe them when promoters of spiritual formation tell you that this will take you to a higher level of Christianity and to a new level of spirituality. New spiritual programs aren’t necessary;  rather, hearts yearning to grow in the knowledge of the Lord simply from reading the Bible. We cannot get any “closer to God” than Jesus Christ indwelling us through His Holy Spirit!

On the same subject look what Jan has to say about her own school in her article “When Students are Left to the Wolves”

I wasn’t prepared for what I was about to hear the evening of November 3. My alma mater, Bethel University in St. Paul, MN, sponsored an Interreligious Symposium promoting some kind of “common ground” between Buddhism and Christianity. One would think if a Christian had an ounce of discernment, they would deduce that Christianity has nothing to do with Buddhism and such unions are playing with fire. But a panel concluded that there was “common ground” when it came to “meditation.” Granted, this kind of meditation could put one in a dangerous altered state of consciousness, but maybe that’s ok as long as we can find a bit of unity here! Some would call this common bond of meditation “contemplative prayer.”

About 200 students and a few adults were crammed into the symposium auditorium. Attendance by the students was mandatory. The three main presenters were Buddhist monk Witiyala Seewalie from Sri Lanka, Bethel professor Paul Reasoner who is a part of the “Christian Zen” movement, and Ted Meissner, an active Buddhist layman and meditator in Zen, although he grew up in a Christian home.

The push was “meditation.”  But being a Buddhist means becoming conscious of one’s own divinity. This was not clarified. Had it been clarified, it could have sent out a huge red flag to questioning students at Bethel.  So why would Christians get on board with this kind of meditative enlightenment when acknowledging one’s own divinity for a Christian would be idolatry and an abomination to the one true God?

The students were encouraged to do meditation that would silence or empty their minds. Keep in mind that some who promote this kind of meditation such as Richard Foster, actually tell you to pray a prayer of protection over yourself before you begin! Yet there was no warning to innocent and naïve students and again, attendance for most there was mandatory.

We heard a lot about those ancient mystics and desert fathers. Here we go with the mystical again, and mysticism always trumps doctrine. Bring on “experience”!! Another panelist talked about the Jesuits he studied under. Is Bethel a Baptist-rooted university or Catholic-rooted? Try the former.

A symposium like this is leading these kids straight to the Emergent Church which goes along with all of the above. And if anything will bring spiritual death, it is all things Emergent. The step beyond that is the one-world religion.

Brannon Howse also has a defining view of this emerging church threat in this article promoting his book.

The Emerging Third Way of Apostate Pastors and Globalist Leaders

The pastors and authors of one of America’s fastest growing spiritual movements, the Emergent Church, sing the praises of socialism. As I’ll explain in more detail later, the Emergent Church champions the neo-Marxist call for a utopian society through spiritual evolution where good and evil merge to form a “better” third option. This idea derives from the belief system of philosophers such as Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and finds its contemporary manifestation in the “Third Way” movement of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. In the Third Way, capitalism, socialism, and communism merge to form a misanthropic combination of the three. This blending is now represented in the terms “the New World Order” and “the new enlightenment.”

The Third Way promotes Communitarianism, a toxic blend of communism, socialism, atheism, and Cosmic Humanism. Communitarians believe in universal health care, government-subsidized housing and education, radical environmentalism,Fabian socialism, and the like.

The bottom line is that the Interfaith Movement, The Emergent Movement, and the Spiritual Reformation Movement is leading to the Harlot of Revelation chapter 17. We see that one pied piper named Tony Blair converts to Roman Catholicism, starts an interfaith foundation and also wants to be the head of the EEU and meanwhile the emergent rats just follow his tune and march over the cliff to spiritual malformation.

Over the last few weeks I have been going through and updating all my 25 world trends articles on my website and it still looks to me that present indications are that Jesus will  return 2030-2040 AD. I know that late date does not please the 2012-2019 second coming of Jesus crowd but they simply are wrong, so that is their problem. To find out why they are wrong you will have to read these 25 articles or read my previous blog on why Jesus is not coming between 2012-2019.

Now some of you need to quit whining about how long that is and do something for the Lord with the little time that you have left, because if you really think about it, there is not much time left to work. If you go with the middle date, say 2035, and subtract seven years that is left for the Jews you are at 2028 AD. Also, the Rapture is likely to be at least a few years before then (I think 3 1/2 to 7 years). Therefore, the rapture  might happen before or around 2020-2025 AD. So that leaves true Christians only about 10 or 20 more years to get their mission on earth accomplished.

You might also consider that during the time that we have left to work it is going to become increasing difficult to work and that many in the institutional churches will be falling away into Apostasy. We already see that taking place. There is also likely to be the beginning of sorrows or false birth pains within this period before the Rapture. Possibly even the first five seals of Revelation will take place during this time. I think that will play out as a world war against those forcing fundamental Islam on the world followed by persecution of fundamental Christians as well.

I also think the United States will cease to be a superpower during the next decade. So all those that are anxious for the tribulation to get started will have plenty of tribulation right here at home in the United States. Tribulation has already started for some and its going to get much worse.

All the events on the earth that will take place in the next 10 to 20 years will just set the stage for the rise of the Beast/Antichrist. Many pieces are still not in place for the Beast but you will have to read the articles to see why Bible prophecy cannot all be fulfilled as soon as some are now saying. Some are even saying that we are already in the final seven years. That concept must mostly be wishful thinking of those that are armed to the teeth to fight the new world order because it certainly cannot come from any rational interpretation of  Bible prophecy.

On another subject – I also took out hundreds of bad links in my two blogs and my website. Linking to articles of others can be a real pain in the butt because some people redesign their websites and break links because they do not use 301 redirects to the articles that they moved. Some popular news sites also simply do not archive their articles for very long.

There are going to be changes coming on this World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy Blog.

You might wonder why someone would even start a Christian blog that would allows anyone in the world to make comments? I like writing the articles but the criticism that often comes from Christians with liberal or aberrant views is a pain in the butt and often seems to be a planned disruption or a diversion from the person making the comment.

The facts are that only a small segment of Christians even take Bible prophecy as literal future events on the earth.  A segment who do not often prowl the Internet looking for blogs in order to change every topic to be an argument for their own theology, if you allow them. Of course, the non Christians also want to put in their two cents but why would they have anything to offer on Christian topics? Those who think that non Christians actually come to Christian blogs to find truth  or salvation in Jesus Christ are pretty naive.

So today I am wondering why I should even allow comments from anyone out there that I will have to closely monitor. If I am going to allow comments at all it should only be from trusted people.

When I first started blogging I actually thought interaction would bring new information and another dimension to my Blogs but I am actually finding out that it really just wastes much of my time. I know if I were writing articles for my website rather than my Blog I would not be answering comments on them unless someone emailed me and I thought their question or comment merited the time I needed to spend to respond. But on my past Blog comments anyone could say anything at all to all the world and they did. What they said often made it necessary for me to make a response. Then more often than not they wish to turn my response to them into a endless debate on issues often totally unrelated to the post. I do not have the time for that unless one of those thousands of persons that know that Jesus will come back in one to three years is willing to depart from their earthly money that they know they will not need and send me that million bucks so I can hire a staff.

Therefore, I am going to change my commenting policy. As of right now people will have to register and log in to comment on this Blog. The registration and login links are on the bottom of the side bar under the title Meta. First you register with a user name and email address and then after that you get your password and you log in. Then you can comment but your first post will not be posted until I reviewed it. After that they will be posted instantly unless you get caught in a spam or bad behavior filter.

That will eliminate 90 percent of the garbage. The score or two of people that make useful comments and adding good information to the blog topics will still be able to do so if they register. Since most of these people are astute I will not normally have  to comment back to them unless they are asking me something or I see things quite differently from what they said.

I did not want to restrict people from making comments on this Blog but I see you must or else you will spend a lot of your time just doing moderation, or if you do not moderate the Blog topics will soon get off track and degenerate. If you ever read the comments on Fox News articles you will see it does not take long for loosely monitored comments to degenerates into endless arguments and mud slinging. I guess you cannot change the nature of the demented human race.

Believe it or not, less comments on this Blog will not hurt the rankings of My Blog or the visits to this Blog one iota. In fact, I suspect that a long comment section dilutes the key words and could make the topic rank worse in the search engine indexes. Some of my visitors come here directly because they put this Blog it in their “favorites” but the vast majority actually come to this Blog through key word searches on Google on specific words in my articles, like “Enoch Bible” or “Muslim Antichrist”. That will continue no matter if I allow comments or not. So I really do not need comments to get more traffic to this Blog. What I really need to get more traffic is to write more good key worded articles but I cannot be writing articles if I am wasting my time on people who make comments on Blogs as their main mission in life.

While I am talking about the changes to my Blog. Your going to see far less links and long articles like the last post, because it is apparent that few people actually follow the links to read the articles. Most people these days do not have a long attention span. So what I post in the future will be more like my other recent posts.

A scary Halloween story?

The other day I was thinking about how it is that many of the young hippies of the counterculture movement of the 1960’s are now in positions of power running and ruining America. Is it any wonder then, why these undisciplined hippies, drug abusers. God hating,  anti-American  people have taken America down this dark immoral road that we see America on today?

For some reason an image popped into my mind of a cabal of old Marxist elite rich liberal people fawning over their Obama child, their very own creation, and I began to think more and more about it.

The thought of all these old hippies with satanic Marxist views fawning over a relatively young Obama gave me a flashback to an old movie called” Rosemary’s Baby”.  This movie was directed in 1968 by pedophile Roman Polanski (who also just happens to be in the headline news once again for more of the same).

Rosemary’s Baby, the move is based on a book by the same name published in 1967. Is it possible that there was some truth to the Rosemary’s baby story in that book? Let’s at least discuss the possibilities.

In the movie, Rosemary’s baby was about the conception and birth of the Antichrist figure and that movie undoubtedly inspired the “The Omen”  movie in 1976 about the Antichrist of Bible prophecy growing up as a child (Damien). There were three sequels based on the Omen Damien Antichrist figure over the years. In 2006 there was also a remake of the original movie.

The book “Rosemary’s Baby” was published in 1967 and if there is any truth in the book (and I am not saying there is), it must be a report about something that occurred a few years earlier.

Seer, Jeannie Dixon, often said the Antichrist was born in 1962, but she said that a few years after the movie came out, so she might have just gotten her concept from the Rosemary’s Baby movie.

That background leads me to my scary Halloween Story.

Believe it or not, there is a segment of people in America that think Obama is the Antichrist. Here is a guy where we are not even certain who his real father was. No birth certificate is available to the public that identifies his father or the place of Obama’s birth. Many like Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan, believe that Obama is a Messiah figure. Powerful media people like Oprah promoted Obama and called him “The One”

Obama is only 48 years old today. That would have made him one of the first children of this “New Age”  hippie movement when he was born in the the second half of 1961. His mother had secular humanist beliefs so I would not doubt that she was in some way very involved in that counterculture movement of the 60’s. Obama’s age therefore is about right if the Rosemary’s baby story might have any connection to the birth of Obama.

Obama as a young man used drugs and cocaine, often thought by astute Christians to be a pathway for demon possession. That does not mean Obama is possessed but it does give some reason to think that he is. If Obama were possessed it would explain the very unnatural attraction he receives from the demonic Christian and Jew hating figures of the world. It is no illusion that Obama is seen as a Messiah figure to many.

We see that, “Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite. Trained by Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation, Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project. Later, he worked with ACORN and its offshoot Project Vote, both creations of the Alinsky network. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.” – Richard Poe, The Turrish Weekly.

So, Obama became a community organizer working in inner city black areas under the mentorship of the very radical socialist Saul Alinsky. The people that Obama hung with in Chicago were also very radical people that hated the American system. The book, “Dreams of My Father”, for which Obama got awards was according to experts actually co-written by a convicted radical terrorist named Bill Ayers. The Obama’s have denied all along that they had any relationship with Ayers. Apparently, the truth is that they just lied.

From all accounts we have a man that never could have gotten into Harvard, that did. There obviously were some very powerful people pulling strings to get Obama into Harvard to prep him for politics. To this date, nobody has access to his school records that could qualify him to be accepted for admittance to such a prestigious school.

Obama attended a very radical black liberation church in Chicago for 20 years. To call such a church Christian is an oxymoron. The messages from the pulpit sound more like the teaching of Marxism, social activism, ranting anti-Americanism and racism than they do Christianity. Nevertheless, the former Muslim Obama, felt quite comfortable attending that radical Church and being mentored by a racist pastor that also had no problems hobnobbing with Black Muslim radicals.

“Today, the Obama-ites, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Harry Reid — the small but powerful group of left-wing radicals who are at the controls of this transformation are all disciples of the 1960s radical Saul Alinsky. Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals, was the Little Red Book for the college radicals of the 1960s. I know, I was one of them. I understand better than most Alinsky’s deep, deep hatred of America. A hate that ran so deep he wrote a blueprint for tearing our Nation down. In fact, today many of them are leaders in Congress and in our White House, all embracing Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals — the road map for turning our Nation upside down” – David Horowitz, President & Founder, FrontPage Magazine

Obama calls himself a Christian, but all positions he takes says otherwise. His anti Christian positions range from his supporting abortion and homosexuality, to wealth redistribution and government fascism, to supporting Palestinian terrorism against Israel, by providing them with military training and aid. In a interview, Obama clearly stated the anti Christian doctrine that he thought all religions are paths to God. So here you have someone claiming to be a Christian that is the antithesis of a Christian. This is what we were taught to expect out of the Antichrist figure of Bible prophecy by Bible prophecy teachers. Most Bible prophecy teachers expect the Antichrist to come to power first posing as a Christian. So Obama certainly fits the profile. He even might fit the profile for those who believe the Antichrist comes from Islam.

Obama who has no real qualification to be president, nevertheless became president through the efforts of a few hundred very powerful people that controlled political figures, major media, major educational systems, major financial systems, major corporations and even some major religious groups. Obama was no accident; he was put their by design, and promoted by the powerful to the gullible as if he were a rock star or the great black hope for the world. I do not think it is hyperbole to say that demonic forces were with him. Would we expect anything less for an Antichrist figure?

Now Obama is in office and he surrounds himself with these evil former hippies that I was talking about at the beginning of the article. That makes a lot of sense if Obama is Rosemary’s Baby.

Obama is pushing for radical change and is very anti anything truly Christian. We have not seen all that Obama will accomplish in office yet but the man is only 48 years old. He already got the highest award in the world when he won the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing at all. Obama actually got the Nobel Peace Prize for what he might accomplish, not for anything he did accomplish. The power brokers are still stacking the deck for Obama. We might expect such adoration of a demon possessed Antichrist. There is hardly a socialist dictator in the world that does not promote Obama and he is increasingly winning support from the earth’s 1.6 Billion Muslims. Remember Obama was a Muslim and he still is a Muslim in their eyes.

Obama is also trying to force a peace deal between Israel and its neighbors – something that many experts in Bible prophecy believe only will be achieved by the Antichrist.

So is Obama Rosemary’s baby? Is Obama the Antichrist? It makes for a good Halloween story and I see some parallels to Obama and the Antichrist, but I think not. Obama is certainly wearing the Antichrist costume at this years Halloween party as America’s Antichrist, but I do not think he is the real deal.

It is hard to see how Obama fits all the Bible prophecies about the Antichrist. But, here is some food for thought, if Obama continues to increase in popularity in the world, if the United States declines because it was willfully destroyed from within, if Obama is elected Secretary General of the UN and if the United Nations moves its headquarters from America  to Europe, all bets are off. Then Obama may indeed turn out to be Rosemary’s baby.

I really love these people who tell me that they really believe the world is coming to an end in 2012, or they are certain that the Rapture has to happen within a year or two, or that they have the date of the second coming all figured out, or that Jesus has to come before 2019 because of their interpretation of the “Fig Tree Parable”, or based on some pagan prophecy, or the sayings of  Jack Van Impe, etc., etc., but they continue to retain all their wealth like they are going to live here forever or take it with them.

If you really believe what you say you believe on the Internet and in your emails, what need will you have for all your money? Give it to someone who will use it for Christian ministry in the couple of years that you are certain that we only have left.

I certainly could use a million bucks to hire a staff and to set up a modern office and expand this ministry. I would use your money to help get the message out that Jesus is coming soon and warn Christians about all the latest heresies, and warn about the wolves in sheep’s clothing running around seeking wheat to sell baloney to, so the wolves can devour them (with mustard) before Jesus even gets here for supper.

Not to mention, that the average attender in most congregations today is brain dead when it comes to biblical knowledge and understanding, and they really needs to read my shock courses on basic Christian doctrine so they don’t get Jesus mixed up with the Mahdi or some stain on a coffee table.

Others just need to hear what I want to ramble on about (like here) but I can’t be doing much rambling on if I am busy with other tasks that go along with keeping up a website and Blog and also keeping an abode in the deepest darkest jungles of the Ozark wilderness. (We still have to appease and fight off leprechauns and trolls here, not to mention, the government wilderness control freaks).

So if you are so certain that Jesus must return before 2012 or thereabouts just send me one of those spare millions that you know you won’t ever be needing and help expand this ministry. You will not get a tax deduction because I am not on the list of IRS approved charities and probably never will be with my constitution. But what do you need a tax deduction for anyway?

Don’t get me wrong, I am not asking for small donations from anyone reading this or from those who have any doubts about the Lord coming before 2019. I can’t expand a ministry on a thousand bucks here and there, and certainly can’t on your spare change. Send your seed faith change to the TV hucksters. I need really big bucks, like a million or so from the faithful that have no doubt in their mind that Jesus must return before 2019 and so are certain they will not ever need the million bucks. I give no refunds, if you change your mind or Jesus does not return before your date, your just out a million bucks and probably used it for a better cause than you would have. You probably would have just bought more gadgets like one that will allow you to text with your toes while driving  (now don’t ask me where to buy it).

If you do not want to send the million to me then give it to the ministry of your choice or the poor. So, as the saying goes, put up or shut up!

People spouting this stuff about Jesus coming in 2012 etc., really need to put their money where there mouth is and not be hypocrites or else they should tone down their date speculations. That includes the authors that are banking money from selling 2012 new aged baloney.
You can send those million dollar donations to Don Koenig, PO Box 234, Summersville Mo, 65571.

In return I will send you a semiannual picture of my well fed (thanks to you) six dogs and six cats. Sorry, they cannot write you letters. As a bonus you will receive a envelope of fairy dust from the local leprechauns. I think if you sprinkle the dirt… er…I mean dust.. on your upside down St Joseph statue your multi-million dollar mansion will be the first one to sell on your block (not valid in California, Nevada, Arizona, or Florida).

Here are a couple of good articles for people that are part of, promoting, or want to know more about the rapidly growing 2012 cult that is fueling end of the world hysteria.

2012: Tsunami of Stupidity why the latest apocalyptic cult is a silly scam, by Ron Rosenbaum

The article is good but especially follow the links in the article if you wish to be deprogrammed from the 2012 cult.

Jan Markell, of Olive Tree Ministries has her own perspective on this 2012 hysteria in an article called Is time running out?

My own perspective of this 2012 cult is that it is a sinister deception from Satan. There are just two many spokes on this 2012 wheel for this not to be a deception from Satan. The 2012 cult and end of the world hysteria also originates from Satan because all the pagan and “New Age” tie-in’s certainly cannot come from God.

Let’s look at some of the spokes of the 2012 cult wheel of deception.

• The Mayan long calender cycle that ends on December 21, 2012
• Supposed Nostradamus predictions about 2012
• The return of Planet X in 2012
• Bible code predictions
• Time distance code theory
• St Malachi predicts apocalypse in reign of next Pope
• Muslim Mahdi Antichrist theories
• Hopi prophecies
• False modern secular prophets
• False modern religious prophets
• Illuminati conspiracy theories
• Various ufology theories
• Bible prophecy teachers with subjective date setting and interpretations

I am sure I missed some and there are others that point to the same general time period. For example, those that see a imminent paradigm shift into the age of Aquarius that will bring the world to collective higher consciousness with the help of  various ascended masters. Then there are also the Marian messages with its demonic deceptions.

All of the things I listed might be enough proof to some that there is some validity to the 2012 end of the world hysteria. Nevertheless, those who see any direction for their future by climbing on this wheel of deception will get run over by it.

So what is the real purpose of this 2012 deception?

That of course is the million dollar question. I do not think anyone knows where all this will lead in the short term. In the long term all this deception will help lead the world to the Antichrist. However, I think 2012 will be at least a decade before his time. This deception is not the great deception or strong delusion spoken of in the Bible. This deception has another purpose and the best I can do is speculate on what that is. I believe it really is just setting the world stage for a much greater deception.

First, let me say that none of what I listed above has any support from real science or from Bible prophecy. All false prophets have one purpose and that is to deceive.  God is not the author of confusion. He does not use pagan and occult sources to get out a message about the future or even to supplement His written message. God knows the end from the beginning. If He wanted to tell the world something it is already recorded in His written word.  So do not expect to find truth in deceptive lies that originate from Satan. One of the great problems I see coming from some Bible prophecy teachers today is that they use these pagan sources to support their Bible prophecy theories.

I have no doubt that this 2012 cult is going to grow into a full blown hysteria. People are making money on this and they will hype it for all its worth. We already have a major motion picture in the works named “2012″. All the major news channels are reporting on 2012 and these theories. I understand that the History Channel just did their bit to promote this deception. Expect this hype to continue and to dramatically increase as we get closer to the end of 2012.

I can only speculate on this deception from Satan and the purpose of this 2012 cult.  I think the West will be in a major world war with radical Islam by 2012. The signs are all in place right now. We are losing Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hezbollah has 40,000 rockets to use against Israel. Israel will not tolerate a nuclear Iran and Iran will not tolerate Israel. Europe is becoming increasingly polarized because of its large increasing Islamic populations and it is certain that this will soon bring a nationalist backlash from the natives. That will result in civil war in Europe.  I think the war against Islamic terrorism will expand after 2010 because of  Iran and/or major terrorist activities against the West. So by 2012 it will be defined as a major world war and all countries aiding the radial Muslims will become the enemy. So I am 90 percent certain that by the end of 2012 many people will think they have arrived to the Apocalypse . The Dec 21, 2012 hype will only increase the Apocalypse hysteria.

If the world war occurs like I suggest it will, Muslim Antichrist proponents will have a field day speculating on who is fulfilling the role of the Mahdi Antichrist and telling everyone that we are in the midst of the tribulation. Then as the war goes on there will be those looking for some sign to bring it to an end (perhaps a Marian deception). I would think that certain people will spin all these various theories and claim mankind can now achieve the new age of peace if they just stop killing each other and try to get along.  Then in the name of world peace Islam and all religion will become greatly modified into an all-paths concept.

Many in the world will probably think that they went through the biblical tribulation during this world war and that they have arrived on the other side in a new age of enlightenment. However, the reality will be that there will only be a short period of world peace followed by the real tribulation outlined in the trumpet and bowl judgments of Revelation.

Here lies the real deception that will result out of the aftermath of this 2012 cult. Those that understand that the war, the  peace plan, and the religious pluralism are just facades for stopping Christian evangelism and for setting up tyrannical world government will be persecuted as dangers to world peace. Most of those who are led to believe that  the Mahdi myth of Islam was the Antichrist will soon embrace the real Western Antichrist as a world hero.

Many just do not understand that Jesus is not coming when the world expects Him. Expect Jesus when the world thinks they no longer need His coming.

Mt 24:44  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
