Obeying evil rulers may not be obeying God

Posted on by Don

If the democrats go through with much of their national agenda they will undoubtedly be the most evil administration in the history of this nation. So should we Christians say God appoints rulers and therefore not fight against the evils of this administration? God forbid! Obeying evil rulers may not be obeying God.

Joe Farah explains the wrong headed thinking of those who blindly follow the leader in this article. The Bible does not tell us to obey evil rulers in spite of what some Christians teach. Also check out this other article on another possible meaning of Romans 13

Pray Obama fails

Many a coward has been bolstered in his conviction against challenging tyranny by not reading too deeply into the Scriptures.

Bible Prophecy wars over an Antichrist out of Islam

Posted on by Don

There is a rather heated controversy stirring between traditional Bible prophecy authors who think the Antichrist will be a western figure and more recent authors who think the Antichrist will come out of Islam.

I wrote on this in July and gave some of my thoughts why the Antichrist would not be a Muslim and his Beast Kingdom would not be Islam.

https://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/will-the-antichrist-and-his-beast-government-come-from-islam.html

In the last Jan/Feb issue of Lamplighter magazine Dr. Reagan critiques four books that make the claim that the Antichrist is out of Islam and Dr. Reagan gives his views why this is not the case and is sloppy exegesis.… continue reading

The buffet morons of our postmodern churches.

Posted on by Don

This article tells me that many Americans claiming to be Christians are really biblical illiterate Laodiceans. Of course true Christians should already be aware that few people these days claiming to be Christians have any in-depth knowledge of the Bible.

Look at the figures in this article on people under the age of twenty-five. The article says 82 percent of young people believe in smorgasbord religion. If these people are the future of this nation I do not have to say God help us because He won’t. Any wonder why our nation is going down the tubes?

Those who pick and choose their own truth to believe are typical postmodern religious morons.… continue reading

Debunking a Muslim Beast Antichrist

Posted on by Don

Lately there has been a whole lot of teachers getting on the Antichrist will come from Islam and that Islam is the Beast world system bandwagon.

Apparently painting Antichrist horns on the obvious evil system of our time sells books but is is good theology? I posted a article why I do not believe the Beast will emerge from Islam or why the Beast will be Muslim.

Will the Antichrist and his Beast government come from Islam

Dr Reagan has written a very scholarly work why the Antichrist will not be a Muslim.

Bill Salus in the article that I quote below gives more good reasons why the Antichrist will not come from Islam.… continue reading

Me or Thee centered churches and teaching?

Posted on by Don

Seems almost all of the popular Christian books today are still about “me“. But, for a Christian it should not be about me it should be about thee and Thee. It is time Christians departed from me centered churches and teaching in sake of Thee centered Churches and teaching.

The ‘Me’ Centered Church

The church today has gotten away from its purpose and identity as laid out in Scripture. Again, we do well to remember:

A local church is a group of baptized believers organized together to meet for the equipping of the saints for their ministry; for provoking one another to love and good works; for exhortation; for the exercise of spiritual gifts and the observance of the ordinances (Eph.

The dangerous games the world allows terrorists to play

Posted on by Don

Hal Lindsay points out the scenario that time and time again plays out against Israel. The U.S. has once again been bullied by world opinion and the press into not voting in the UN security council. Now a 14 – 0 vote calls for an Israeli cease fire. Time and time again this game is played out in favor of the terrorists so Israel can never destroy their enemies. Thus, you can be sure that it will be played out again but next time under the new U.S. administration the U.S. will side with the enemies of Israel.   Then Israel will have to either commit suicide or ignore the U.N.… continue reading

New Hebrew Roots or just more Counterfeit Tares?

Posted on by Don

At least three things are certain in life – death, taxes, and new Christian heresies. Seems some cannot endure the truth of scripture so they simply have to make up their own truth by twisting the scriptures and taking passages out of context. This article is a rebuttal of the growing Hebrew Roots movement and all the cults teaching the doctrine of soul sleep. If people would just study their Bible instead of following heretical teachers and their books they would not be sucked into every new damnable heresy. By the way, replacement theology is another of many heresies within this movement.… continue reading

The ministry of the two witnesses is the most understated 1260 days in Bible prophecy

The Two Witnesses From Heaven Will be Hell to the World

The Two Witnesses From Heaven Will be Hell to the World
By Don Koenig


The ministry of the two witnesses from God in Revelation chapter 11 will last for 1260 days. This event is the most understated event of Bible prophecy. The witnesses, the two prophets from heaven will shake the world to its core and the whole world will rejoice when they are killed because they tormented those who dwell on the earth.

I think we totally underestimate the impact that these two prophets will have on the world.

Volcanic actively could change the whole world suddenly in a instant

Posted on by Don

I am posting this article not because I think the Yellowstone Caldera or Mammoth Caldera are about to go off but just as food for thought. I do not for a minute subscribe to the theory that this caldera was formed 642,000 years ago. More likely it was formed in the days of Exodus only a few thousand years ago.

With that in mind there certainly is no reason to think that future eruptions could not take place in the short term. Shortly before or during the tribulation period these earth upheavals become extremely likely. Just one massive explosion could reduce the United States to a third world power and throw the whole world into huge tribulation.… continue reading

Liberal progressive black and Latino abortion programs

Posted on by Don

If anyone ought to know about this genocide it should be the blacks that are the victims but the silence from the “Christian” black community is deafening and most of the preachers and almost all the politicians take the “liberal” “progressive” side.

However “liberal” really means liberally killing your unborn kids and “progressive” means progressing back to enslavement to a life of dependency on your government overseers. Nevertheless, apparently 96 percent of blacks would rather have a half black man as President then to vote for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The Benedict Arnold’s of blacks say give us enslavement and give us death and blacks just say yes at the polls.… continue reading

Will the fallen angels claim to be Aliens or Gods, that is the question?

Posted on by Don

There is no question that there is intelligence life out there not of the earth. The Bible calls them angels. Some are fallen angels and we read about the conflict between the angels of God and those angels that follow Satan in scripture. Satan was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. Actually the word interpreted as “serpent” “nachash” could actually mean “the shining one”.

In any case, fallen angels had a role in the fall of man and throughout biblical history they have been trying to stop God’s plan of redemption through a son of Adam. Remember that Jesus who called Himself the son of Adam came to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8).… continue reading

The truth just escapes the post-modern illiterate generation

Posted on by Don

There is a root of evil that the modern world readily embraces. That is the evil of parents allowing others to bring up their own children. Most parents are allowing our educational system and our media to produce a generation of young people who cannot function in society without someone telling them how to think and what to do. A third of the people in this nation are now functionally illiterate. They cannot discern the truth about anything because they know almost nothing. When you push their talk button they just respond like a mindless chatty Cathy doll. The air heads you see on the Jay Leno show would be funny if they were not the norm.… continue reading

Will the West offer up Israel as their sacrificial lamb on the altar of Baal for world peace?

Posted on by Don

Today things are again heating up in the Middle East because Israel is now taking action against Hamas terrorists in Gaza that have been firing rockets into Israel.  This action by Israel may not lead to a wider war but who really knows?

With that in mind perhaps it is time to look at this very interesting prospective of the deadly game being played out in the Middle East between the Jews, Iran, Islam and the West.

The following summery in that article raises a likely question. Will the West believe they can force Israel to give in to all demands when Israel already knows that Iran and Islam cannot be appeased?… continue reading

The Wonderful Life of Kwanzaa

Posted on by Don

In keeping with the Christmas spirit Ann Coulter gives us the wonderful life of Kwanzaa. Black people and liberals ought to really know what they are celebrating.

My triumph over Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa was the result of a ’60s psychosis grafted onto the black community. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural nonsense that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga’s United Slaves – the violence, the Marxism, the insanity. Most absurdly, for leftists anyway, is that they have forgotten the FBI’s tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa.

This is a holiday for white liberals – the kind of holiday Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn probably celebrate.

America is on the wrong track because the lights are out.

Posted on by Don

America is on the wrong track heading for a train wreck sure enough because the lights are out at the switch yard and America is traveling the wrong way on a one way track. The train wreck now seems inevitable unless someone turns on the lights so America sees the signs and quickly reverses direction.

If the light from God’s people are hidden under a bushel they cannot cast out the darkness. Some pastors and leaders in Christianity are the bushels hiding the light. The only way for lights to shine is to get out from under the bushels.

So, where do we go from here?

Chuck Missler on the history of Christmas

Posted on by Don

Chuck Missler did a two part series on the history of Christmas.

I wish you all a Merry Xmas (joking). I wish you all a Merry Christmas and pray that you will have a fruitful New Year in Christ.

The History Of Christmas – Part I

The celebration of Christmas has caused some controversy in recent years, for a variety of reasons. Many have been concerned that Christ is too often left out of Christmas; replaced by trimmings and presents and fudge. Others have battled over whether we should allow manger scenes on public property or allow the school choir to sing Christmas carols that actually contain a message about Jesus Christ.

Baal: an ancient god idol, half-bull and half-man. Liberals: god idol that is half-bull and half-ass

Posted on by Don

This article makes the case that modern day liberals are into the same pagan practices as the people who worshiped the half-bull and half-man idol of Baal in ancient times. Modern liberals have rejected the God of the Bible and replaced Him with a half-bull and half-ass idol of himself.

Today’s Baal worshipers

Modern liberalism deviates little from its ancient predecessor. While its macabre rituals have been sanitized with flowery and euphemistic terms of art, its core tenets and practices remain eerily similar. The worship of “fertility” has been replaced with worship of “reproductive freedom” or “choice.” Child sacrifice via burnt offering has been updated, ever so slightly, to become child sacrifice by way of abortion.

Obama butts heads with Netanyahu and brings about the war of Psalm 83

Posted on by Don

It certainly looks to me like Benjamin Netanyahu will be the next Prime Minister of Israel and he certainly is not going to be dictated to by a President who sides with terrorists through Hillary.

Sure, Obama intends to offer Israel a nuclear umbrella and thus allow a nuclear Iran but why would Israel actually think that we would use nukes against Iran after Israel was already destroyed? What good would our nuclear umbrella be for dead people? I guess Obama’s whiz kids think that the threat would be enough of a deterrent to stop Iran from ever using their nukes but that is because they do not understand that the leaders of Iran actually want to bring about a war between the West and Islam.… continue reading

A brilliant defense against Steve Gregg’s Preterism from Dr. Norman L. Geisler.

Posted on by Don

Apparently Steve Gregg tried to come to the rescue of Partial Preterism after Dr. Norman Geisler reviewed “The Apocalypse Code” book written by Hank Hanegraaff that attacked premillennial theology and those who are looking for the soon return of Jesus in the Rapture.

I guess someone needed to come to the rescue and bail out Preterism after some of Hank Hanegraaff’s erroneous assumptions were pointed out by Dr. Geisler in his review and some of Hanegraff’s book could not even be fully accepted by preterists. This is the response by Dr. Geisler to Steve Gregg’s apparent defense of partial preterism.

In this article Dr.… continue reading

Babylon the Great is about to rise.

Posted on by Don

This article probably has plenty of Bible prophecy significance. Iraq is trying to set up a group of nations like the EU in the Middle East. Many who study Bible prophecy have been saying that Iraq will rise again as a great world center of prosperity in the last days and fulfill the prophecies of Babylon and Babylon the Great. This most likely is the first major step in building the foundation for that entity.

Also notice that other regions on earth are doing the same thing as this EU pilot project prototype. All generally are following the Club of Rome’s plan for ten regional governments under a central world government.… continue reading
