Rising of the Beast: Cashless society coming - Epa New Gestapo

I wrote an article a couple years ago that saw a cashless society coming. I also did an article on the EPA acting like SS Nazi stormtroopers telling you what to do with your own land and water because their studies said they knew best. Here is the updates.

Cashless Society Here

Think the elimination of cash is not real? The Deutsche National Bank in Norway along with other local branches do not deal in cash anymore. They would like an across the board ban on cash worldwide trying to sell it as a crackdown on criminals and money launderers. Do you really think they are looking out for your welfare? Truth is they want the heavy hand of the New World Order banks to step in to collect fees on every credit & debit card transaction that occurs anywhere in the world. Of course it is being driven by a chance to gather money to help set up a New World Order which of course, like it always does, leaves the back door wide open for a tyrannical dictator to step in the slot telling you how it is going to go down. This system of the Beast is rising and no one is paying attention, like before WW2 in Germany.

The following comes from the International Business Times:
“The largest bank in Norway has called for the country to stop using cash, the Local reported Friday. This comes as the latest move in a country that has been leading the global charge toward electronic money in recent years, with several banks already not offering cash in their branch offices and some industries seeking to cut back on paper currency.Today, there is approximately 50 billion kroner in circulation and [the country’s central bank] Norges Bank can only account for 40 percent of its use. That means that 60 percent of money usage is outside of any control. We believe that is due to under-the-table money and laundering,” Trond Bentestuen, a DNB executive, told Norwegian website VG, the Local reported.There are so many dangers and disadvantages associated with cash, we have concluded that it should be phased out,” he added. Sound like a tyrant to you?
Of course the main reason is it would mean that no financial transaction would escape taxation, and it would also enable the bankers to watch, track and monitor everything that we do much more closely. Everyone alive would be forced to use it, every card swipe means money in their pocket, and runs on banks would also be eliminated,

The Bank Bail-ins Rules for Europe

If you have money in European banks there would be absolutely no escaping the bank bail -ins that are coming in Europe. Just check it out, if there was no way to pull your money out of the system, you would not be able to avoid the theft that has now been institutionalized by European banking authorities.. Here are the brand new rules that have been set in place since Jan. of 2016:

“If you have a bank account anywhere in Europe, you need to read this. On January 1st, 2016, a new bail-in system will go into effect for all European banks. This new system is based on the Cyprus bank bail-ins that we witnessed a few years ago. If you will remember, money was grabbed from anyone that had more than 100,000 euros in their bank accounts in order to bail out the banks. Now the exact same principles that were used in Cyprus are going to apply to all of Europe.”

They Feel They Have the Right to Know Everything

The bankers want to know where every dime of your money is being spent. Sadly, we are now witnessing a major push toward a cashless society all over the planet that will eventually empower the New World Order to make its move to a one world government, one world religion (Catholicism), one world money, one world ruler, and big brother’s camera on every corner of your life. Just imagine a world where you could not make a move without being in the Beast system. By not doing anything about crime they can make the average citizen pay for their failings.

EPA Turned Into Gestapo Thugs

Most people would probably assume that the EPA is just another benign government agency, that is nothing more than dead weight on the American taxpayer. After all, most bureaucracies don’t amount to much more than that. But in the American police state, even an agency tasked with protecting the environment can call on armed paramilitary thugs to enforce EPA law. Think I am kidding or just pulling your leg?

Open the Books

According to an investigation by the Illinois based watchdog group known as “Open the Books,” the EPA has been dabbling in law enforcement for some time now. They examined thousands of checks totaling $93 billion, that were written by the agency between the year 2000 and 2014. They found that the EPA spends roughly $75 million on “criminal enforcement” every year, which mostly goes to 200 special agents capable of conducting SWAT raids. They bought body armor, ammo, firearms, drones, amphibious assault ships, and night vision goggles with your tax dollars to use against you the American citizen.

According to “Open the Books” founder Adam Andrzejewski, “We were shocked ourselves to find these kinds of pervasive expenditures at an agency that is supposed to be involved in clean air and clean water…Some of these weapons are for full-scale military operations.” But what do you expect? The war on drugs, crime,and terrorism pollution isn’t going to fight itself. At least that is what they are telling you.

Conclusion
What appear to be happening is a drip, drip slow slipping away of our rights because of problems the authorities have created, do not want to solve, and do not have enough resources to handle it anyway. This is simply another way to get nothing done while you pay more in taxes, have your freedoms screwed down, and watch the world slip into darkness once again. If you think there is not a world dictator waiting in the wings to take his cue, the system of the Beast is just some paranoid people talking end times, and Jesus is a fairy tale made up by people of the book from long ago: buddy you better put away those designer fantasies and wake up to the now. The Tribulation is about to begin, are you going to dance?

The Jerusalem Prophecies: What is the future of this Holy City?

The Bible has a lot to say about the apple of God’s eye, Jerusalem. The mere fact the Holy City is mentioned over 800 times in scripture should tell what the Lord thinks of Jerusalem. There is no way to understand the current unfolding events around us or the prophecies foretold by the Word of God without understanding what God has to say about his favorite city, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is the center of the world in scripture. It was David’s capital city; the site of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord & savior; it will be the place where Jesus rules the whole world with a rod of iron for a thousand years upon his return. God has made eternal promises regarding the future of Jerusalem. His word tells us no efforts or schemes of man or the devil will ever be able to undermine what he has purposed and planned for his capital city, Jerusalem.

Isaiah 62:1-7

The Lord tells us in Isaiah 62:1-7, “For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness go forth as brightness and the salvations thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all kings thy glory and thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no longer be termed Forsaken; neither shalt thy land any more be termed Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzibah and thy land Beulah; for the Lord delighteth in thee and thy land shall be married a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold thy peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”

The Future of the Holy City

Today,my friends, Jerusalem is one of the major centers of world conflict. When the UN divided the land to give Israel a homeland once again, it placed much of the Holy City under the control of the Arabs rather than the Jews. During the 6 days war in 1967, Israeli forces captured the city.

The late Prime Minister Menachem Begin said many times that Jerusalem is “the eternal capital of Jewish state” just as the scriptures states. Though Israel’s capital city is Jerusalem today, the government of America, like most other nations, refuse to recognize it. Today Jerusalem is a city living under threat, one day it will be a peaceful city, ruled by the Son of God himself.

“So the angel communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 1;14, 16-17).

City of Truth

“Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for the very aged.
And i will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.” (Zechariah 8:3-4 & 8).

No More Evil Heart

“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord; and all nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk anymore after the imagination of their evil heart.” (Jeremiah 3:17).

Battle of Armageddon

Just before the Lord’s return, there will one final battle centered on the Holy City. The enemies of the world will once again form in the valley of Meggido. The word “Armageddon” comes from a Hebrew word Har-Magedone, which means “Mount Megiddo” and has become synonymous with the future battle in which God will intervene and destroy the armies of the Antichrist as predicted in biblical prophecy (Revelation 16:16; 20:1-3, 7-10). There will be a millions of people engaged in the battle of Armageddon, as all the nations gather together to fight against Christ.

The exact location of the valley of Armageddon is unclear because there is no mountain called Meggido. However, since “Har” can also mean hill, the most likely location is the hill country surrounding the plain of Meggido, some sixty miles north of Jerusalem. More than two hundred battles have been fought in that region. The plain of Megiddo and the nearby plain of Esdraelon will be the focal point for the battle of Armageddon, which will rage the entire length of Israel as far south as the Edomite city of Bozrah (Isaiah 63:1). The valley of Armageddon was famous for two great victories in Israel’s history: 1) Barak’s victory over the Canaanites (Judges 4:15) and 2) Gideon’s victory over the Midianites (Judges 7). Armageddon was also the site for two great tragedies: 1) the death of Saul and his sons (1 Samuel 31:8) and 2) the death of King Josiah (2 Kings 23:29-30; 2 Chronicles 35:22).

Because of this history, the valley of Armageddon became a symbol of the final conflict between God and the forces of evil. The word “Armageddon” only occurs in Revelation 16:16, “Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.” This speaks of the kings who are loyal to the Antichrist gathering together for a final assault on Israel. At Armageddon “the cup filled with the wine of the fury of [God’s] wrath” (Revelation 16:19) will be delivered, and the Antichrist and his followers will be overthrown and defeated. God will strengthen the hands of the defenders of Zion, and the enemies will be completely and utterly destroyed upon his return with just one look from the face of God.

Febble as Strong as David

“In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and supplications and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” (Zechariah 12:8-10).

The Utter Destruction

“And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord shall smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.” (Zechariah 14:11-12).

Jesus Sets up His Kingdom

As promised the kingdom of the son of God on earth will be a time of perfect peace, justice and rest. Jerusalem will be the center of the World; the place to which everyone looks for leadership and guidance and joy.

“Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 52:9).

Pilgrimage to Jerusalem

“And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:20).

Believers & Jerusalem

So we who know the truth and have trusted Jesus Christ have then a responsibility toward God’s Chosen People and the Holy City Jerusalem.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” (Psalm 122:6).

Beyond praying, though, we should be constant and steadfast supporters of the Jewish people.

Here then are 10 answers to one question answered by scripture in the Bible.

Why should we support Israel? Simply because God does. Read Genesis 12:1-3
Because we are preparing for his return. Psalm 102:16
Because God’s word is true. Isaiah 2:3
Because it brings God’s blessing. Psalm 128:5
Because God hates anti-semitism. Zechariah 2: 8
Because God says we are to comfort Israel. Isaiah 40:1-2
Because God’s gift to Israel has not been revoked. Isaiah 49:15
Because God has preserved Israel. Psalm 121: 4-8
Because God said he would raise up intercessors. Isaiah 62:6-7
Because God has written his name in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 6:6

Jerusalem will stand forever....


Mansions being prepared for the true Church...

Could the Refugee Problem in Europe Cause the Collapse of the EU?

The steady flow of refugees from Middle East war torn countries, fleeing the chaos manufactured by the destabilization efforts of the Obama regime and Western Europe, is drowning the European Union in melancholia and depression. It is true Germany needs younger workers because of its older retiring population but the side effects of the refugee problem are causing the right wing Neo-Nazi groups to gain traction. As right wing terrorist threats become more visible each day and with social tensions mounting with the rape of young German women by shiftless immigrants, Europeans are feeling more insecure than they have in a long while. In 2015 Germany alone accommodated 1.1 million refugees according to the data provided by the German Minister of the Interior, which put Angela Merkel under extensive criticism. Now European politicians are launching verbal assaults against each other to gain followers, some political pundits have started noting that this time the EU has bit off more than it can handle.

Immigration problem not exclusive to EU

The French online journal La Croix points out, one shouldn’t forget that refugees aren’t seeking safe haven in Europe exclusively or Germany specifically. Facts collected show there’s up to 9 million refugees currently residing in the countries that have a common border with Syria. In Lebanon alone refugees account for 20% of country’s population. In comparison, in 2014 a total of 600,000 people were seeking asylum in Europe, which roughly constitutes 0.1% of its population. It is a drop in the bucket for a force like the European Union that covers over 4 million kilometers whose collective population is 503 million, the world's third largest population after India & China. Still it chooses to pursue an undignified (even criminal) migration policy.


It’s a general consensus that this year perhaps the EU will be able to develop an effective immigration policy, yet, experts tend to believe that it’s just wishful thinking at best if terrorism by migrants continues. Analysts of the Latvian news portal nrv.lv state openly that no one doubts that migration goes hand in hand with terror. While Europe is desperately trying to respond to the new challenges to its internal security raised by the migration flows, Latvian experts say, basic European values, such as democracy, freedom of speech, respect for human rights will not be the governing principles anymore in the new European Security Strategy. Everything will be determined by common interests, while journalists in jail and assaults on women would be but a minor concern, if the numbers stay low.

Wars & rumors of war

As the end time Middle East wars come to fruition, as well as the Turkish Mafia human smugglers that are profiting off people who flee their home countries, the Mafia buying oil off ISIS to sell on the black market, and Turks president Erdogan looking like the possible anti-christ, the wars and rumors of war look like we might be close to entering Chapter 4 of Revelation. While one can safely assume that if the exodus of migrants remains at its current level, the political consequences would be grave for the European Union, especially for German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Germany in general which will witness a gap between itself and its European partners growing deeper still. Scripture says only ten nations in Europe will be involved in the battle at Armageddon. The possibility is they will to downsize in order to survive.

The Washington Post predicts that the collapse of the EU could start in 2016: “Europe was pummeled by crises from start to finish in 2015, with terrorist attacks, bankruptcy brinkmanship and an unparalleled refugee influx combining to leave continental unity in tatters by year’s end. But instead of relief, 2016 could bring an unraveling.”

According to The Financial Times, today the general idea of the EU is truly unpopular in Europe, since it has been riddled with economic difficulties and political division from the start, that stands in the way of accommodating a common policy that would allow it to solve the refugee crisis.

Europe without borders challenged

On January 4, Germany announced that a common visa policy in the Schengen Area has been seriously endangered by the new border control measures introduced by Sweden and Denmark in a bid to contain new waves of migrants. Thus, Sweden has become the latest in a number of EU countries announcing the introduction of border controls, which challenges the idea of a “Europe without borders”, where a traveler can move freely between countries without any restrictions. One should recall that the German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer has recently labeled the freedom of movement within the EU an “important principle” and one of the greatest achievements of the union.

Numerous European experts believe that today’s exodus from the Middle East, North Africa and other war-torn regions has been brewing for a long time and little forethought was given to the coming problem, therefore it was perfectly predictable and could have been handled easily if they had prepared. Yet, nationalists in Europe are taking advantage of the absence of a coordinated response by EU officials in an attempt to get an upper hand in their political struggle. Yet, the defining principles of European society are being purposefully disregarded by these nationalists, which can only lead to the disintegration of the EU or at the very least a downsizing of EU members. Norway & Denmark come to mind.

EU fall might be imminent

According to the French media portal Atlantico, the fall of a united Europe is imminent since it has departed from its identifying principles, the principles that have been agreed on by all the members states. In particular, in the preamble to the Treaty on European Union respect to such concepts as freedom, human rights and the rule of law are defined as governing principles of the EU. However, in the second half of 2015 those principle have been repeatedly violated by EU authorities. For instance, on September 23, the European Council approved the plan by a majority vote of the European Commission on the resettling of 160,000 refugees, which violates the basic human right of these poor souls, unable to choose a country of future residence. In fact, once politicians start looking at refugees as goods that are to be transported, we can be convinced that the European Union is dead and gone. After all, people fleeing war and bitter poverty in the Middle East sought ways to reunite with their relatives, friends or acquaintances that are living in certain European states. It is, therefore, hardly surprising that refugees themselves are refusing to sign up for being moved to some other place. As of mid-December a total of 184 refugees agreed to be transported to a random European country, out of 160,000 planned by the European Council.

Another assault on human liberties and dignity was the agreement adopted on November 29, 2015 by the EU and Turkey. After all, the very composition of the discussions that preceded this agreement raise questions, since EU authorities failed to invite representatives of Jordan and Lebanon — the two states most strongly affected by the exodus of refugees from Iraq and Syria. The EU did only promise Turkey the whooping 3 billion transfer if it manages to reduce the flow of migrants to Europe, while paying no heed to Jordan and Lebanon who have been facing the refugee crisis on their own. These two countries said if paid enough money they would take in more migrants, but they need the money for re-location. The EU ignored them.

French experts say

In addition, as noted by French experts, after signing the deal with Turkey, the European Union formally resumed the process of its accession to the union. However, this decision looks at least controversial, especially against the background of Turkey’s own recent assault on freedom of speech and human rights. Plus the brutal repressions against the Kurdish minority by Erdogan goes pretty much under reported by the international media. It is a well known fact that Turkey allows smugglers to benefit from the hardships of people fleeing wars and bitter poverty. Ankara did nothing to prevent those criminals, some of which are enjoying connections with the Turkish mafia, from earning 8 billion euros last year alone, since a million migrants transported at the average wage of 8,000 euros on average per person will easily give them that kind of money.

Conclusion

Thus, the actions that are being taken by Brussels show the obvious: it’s only concerned with the interests of its military circles, not people. Therefore, the collapse of Europe, is inevitable or at best a downsizing making problems more manageable. When it will happen is only a matter of time, but it is clear that it won’t keep us waiting for long. Washington is, as it has been repeatedly pointed out by numerous Western experts and the French paper Boulevard Voltaire is this quote, “By organizing the chaos in Africa and the invasion in Europe, also serving politicians to their cause (Renzi, Merkel, Hollande), Americans apply the neo-Machiavellian principles of Leo Strauss and strategists to Wolfowitz, former Trotskyists who want to rule by the chaos of the entities that they will have removed all human and historical reality, the homelands becoming a base, a vacant lot, a drugstore, a reception center.” Nice review on us huh?

Prophecy About to be Fulfilled :On Course for Destruction

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Being this is the year of judgment on America have you noticed anything happening that could perhaps bring on World War 3? The world is turning against the Jews just like before World War 2 and they are leaving Europe for Israel in record numbers because of the rise of anti-semitism. Scripture says that this would happen.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17).

Look at all the events now heading toward a meltdown. The world economy is on life support with the stock market losing money on a daily basis. Israel has its hand on the nuclear trigger and full on ready to attack Iran’s nuclear reactor at Bushehr. As you may know the reactor sets on a major earthquake fault and could set off severe quakes if hit. Iran is now on the verge of nuclear weapons and the first one they will point their nuclear armed missiles at will be Israel.

Concerning the prophecy of Jeremiah 49:34-36

For a detailed look read the book by Bill Salus “Nuclear Meltdown in Iran” to understand the ancient prophecy concerning Iran. A short summation is this catastrophe causes the land of Iran to be uninhabitable. The water is contaminated along with the food causing the Iranians to leave their homes for other lands. This is what the Iranians want to do to Israel, but God reverses the plan and this is what happens to them instead. This all comes down in the Psalm 83 war when Israel is surrounded by her enemies, but Israel strikes first defeating their enemies and taking back the promised land. This war is straight ahead.

World in trouble

A Muslim caliphate is forming as Assad’s government in Syria is showing signs of cracking. The Hard Left is unifying and heading for a confrontation in America with Syrian immigrants spotted at Hoover Dam recently. Imagine if that blew. Any one of these issues could turn the world upside down. They are now ALL converging at once. It looks like anytime now, judgment will fall as the Holy God of Israel is dealing with the world in rebellion against Him. America has taken God out of the public schools, out of Washington DC, with lawmakers wanting Allah’s words to be taught. The Lord our God will lift his hand of protection from America leaving her to our own devices. No longer blessed, what will be our fate then?

Occupy wall street mob

I look at the Occupy Wall Street mob like the Babylonians, who God raised up to judge Judah. The Jews did not want the LORD but Baal, so the Lord raised up the pagans to deal with Judah. America no longer wants anything to do with the LORD, so God is in the process of giving the Americans a full dose of modern paganism.

These groups are judgment on a nation that has turned its back on God and embraced sin. America now promotes porn, movies with a heavy body count, the killing of million of babies in the womb, sodomy; so it is getting people hardened in sin as judgment nears. Americans do not want to be ruled by God, so now they can deal with the pagans. I call these modern pagans: “The Babylonians.”

The Babylonians are hardened and ready for battle. They have been trained in the colleges and unions, etc. They are godless in their thinking. These are the shock troops, the SA, of the Hard Left's attempted takeover of America. The power brokers of the Left will use this mob in the street to destabilize America and start the takeover. America is about to become like Greece. The danger is, as the economy fails, millions could join the Hard Left. This type of upheaval could cause the Obama regime to declare martial law, suspend the November elections, and institute curfews nationwide.

Fasten your seatbelt, keep focused on the Lord Jesus and His coming for the true Church. The ride has to get real rough soon, as all these issues are coming to a head. This world is rushing toward the Day of God’s wrath and the second coming of the Lord Jesus in judgment upon the world.

The Church of Laodicea (lukewarm church)

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28).

The lukewarm Church of today has failed to stand with the LORD against the massive killing of babies in the womb and the sodomite agenda, so now judgment is on the way. It is like when the LORD sent the pagan Babylonians to judge ancient Judah. God is now going to use these modern pagans to judge America.

They are now at the walls of America as Nebuchadnezzar was at the walls of Jerusalem. When the Babylonians were at the gates of Jerusalem, the judgment was sealed and no repentance could alter it. The enemy is now within our country waiting for the signal of a co-ordinated attack to overthrow everything America is about.

Jews the target

This movement without a doubt has the Jews as its target. Watch the Babylonians get bolder and bolder in their attack on the Jews. The Hard Left here is exactly like those in Europe.

Always, always remember that sodomy trumps everything to the Hard Left reprobate mind. It is like the centerpiece of the Hard Left rebellious mind against God. Sodomy is a very destructive force, and it is now being unleashed unfettered on America. Remember the total destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah? I believe this is true as Americans allowed the sodomites to take over the military and remove anyone who is outspoken for the Lord Jesus.

So now, the Christians are now being replaced with Babylonians who are bent on destroying America. Once the Church allowed the military to be sodomized, God’s righteous judgment was on the way.

The Hard Left is going to defend the protesters and line up behind them no matter what. The US military is being turned into a joke before our eyes. The American people did not want God’s righteousness, so now the military is going to come apart from within. There is no hope for the US economy. There is no end in sight for the massive debt increases. This debt is going to crush the American economy with no way back.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” (Jude 1:24, 25).

Conclusion

Jesus will come in the rapture before God implements his wrath on the world. This is the description of it: “Behold I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed. For this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall put on incorruption and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” (1st Corinthians 15:51-54).

For a greater understanding of the rapture order Arno Froese’s book on the subject “The Great Mystery of the Rapture.” May God bless all who read his message.

Is this what it will look like when the rapture comes?

Sun is setting on our freedoms…...

Supremes Tighten the Screws: Police state inevitable.
Researched by pastor Gary Boyd

The United States Supreme Court has ruled a number of times, in all its brilliant wisdom, that law enforcement cannot protect you. They are there to take a report after a crime is committed. Reality suggests that the police are unable to protect you without compromising your freedom as an individual. To “anticipate” crime and arrest based on a condition of anticipation, before any crime is actually committed, would be to dwell in the realm of Orwellian government where thought crime reigns.

Nonetheless, pre-crime suppression has been trying to rear its ugly head, through crime assessment technology, and hate-speech laws.
The reality is that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. While government seeks to disarm the public, they are also trying to change the minutes into seconds, by intruding into the details of our lives.

Feds want to prevent sedition

Government attempting to curb the speech, or “prevent sedition,” is nothing new. Under John Adams, and again under Woodrow Wilson, unconstitutional Sedition Laws were passed and put into effect. Under John Adams, it became a crime to be critical of the government. The four “Alien and Sedition Acts” were claimed to be necessary because of what was thought to be an impending war with France. The Federalist Party was the “Big Government” party of the two primary political parties in existence at the time. Thomas Jefferson led the opposition. The “Jeffersonians,” or “Republicans,” who were officially known as the “Democratic-Republican Party,” was more in line with the U.S. Constitution. During the 1830s, Jefferson’s party would depart from its republican ideals and move towards demanding a more “democratic” government. During the presidency of Andrew Jackson, the party official changed its name to the Democratic Party, a move that would eventually lead the Democrats to abandon the Constitution, and seek the communal theories of collectivism. Sound socialist to you?

During the Adams Presidency, in order to better enforce the Alien and Sedition Acts, Secretary of State Timothy Pickering began to scrutinize Republican newspapers, and it didn’t take long for Pickering to locate a violator. Matthew Lyon, a Vermont Republican Congressman, was put on trial for publicly opposing going to war against France, and objecting to the land tax the Federalists were imposing as a way to pay for war preparations. In October of 1798 he became the first person to be put on trial under the Sedition Act.

Lyon’s “criminal letter” to a Republican newspaper accused President Adams of seeking “a continued grasp for power.” He also voiced criticisms often at public meetings. He was found guilty of “intentionally stirring up hatred against President Adams.” Lyon defended himself, without representation, due to his lack of affordability to hire an attorney. The U.S. marshal, a Federalist appointee, assembled a jury from Vermont towns that were Federalist strongholds, to stack the deck against Lyon.

Lyon argued that he was only expressing his political opinions, but according to the court the burden of proof was on Lyon to prove that what he said was true. The jury found Lyon guilty of expressing seditious words with “bad intent.” The judge, also a Federalist, sentenced him to four months in jail, a $1,000 fine, and court costs. Lyon ran for re-election to Congress from his jail cell and won. Vermont supporters petitioned President Adams to release and pardon him, but Adams refused.

While he was still in jail (a term that exceeded what the law called for), the Federalists tried to expel Lyon from Congress as a convicted criminal, but the effort failed. Lyon returned to Congress just in time to cast the vote that broke the tie in the 1800 Presidential Election, granting Thomas Jefferson victory over John Adams.

Thirteen more indictments were brought under the Sedition Act, mostly against editors and publishers of Republican newspapers. Some Republican newspapers were forced to close down, and many others were too intimidated to criticize the government.

James Madison argued that the Sedition Act attacked the “right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people.” According to Madison, who was one of the two men that put together the Bill of Rights, the freedom of speech and freedom of the press exist for the express purpose of protecting political and religious speech. Nonetheless, the statist of the Federalist Party called the sedition law “wise and necessary” to defend against secret attacks by foreign or domestic enemies.

Thomas Jefferson the difference

As Jefferson was elected President in 1800, the Republicans won a majority in both houses of Congress. In his inaugural address Jefferson confirmed the new definition of free speech and press as the right of Americans “to think freely and to speak and write what they think.” The Federalist Party never secured the White House again, and as their statist ideas continued to lose popularity, by the 1820s the party faded into obscurity, becoming nothing more than a footnote in the History of the United States.

War an excuse

War was once again the excuse when the tyranny of a sedition act appeared again. This time, it was in 1918, under President Woodrow Wilson.

The 1918 Sedition Act was coupled with the Espionage Act from a year earlier, making it a crime to convey information intended to interfere with the U.S. armed forces’ prosecution of the war effort or to promote the success of the country’s enemies. Seems innocent enough on the surface. However, it began to bite into Freedom of Speech, imposing harsh penalties for making false statements that the government defined as interfering with the prosecution of the war; insulting or abusing the U.S. government, the flag, the Constitution or the military; agitating against the production of necessary war materials; or advocating, teaching or defending any of these acts. Those who were found guilty of such actions, the act stated, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both. This was the same penalty that had been imposed for acts of espionage in the earlier legislation.

While Wilson’s administration and Congress felt it was necessary to pass these acts, legal minds of the day were critical of the legislation, considering the Sedition Act to be contrary to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution.

A fine line

A fine line exists between necessity for the protection of the country, and the violation of our rights, and often that line exists in connection to the allowance of government to define the terms. While, in our current society, concern over the Islamic jihad being committed in the United States is a very real concern. Legislation or regulatory actions designed to protect Americans against the imminent threat become tyrannical if the definitions by the federal government include various groups of Americans as being domestic threats. Those definitions in today’s political environment includes military veterans, Tea Party members, constitutionalists, and any other political opposition to the ideology of the political party in power. While raiding a mosque may be seen as a necessary activity to prevent terrorism, at what point does the raiding of other groups, churches, and political meetings become tyrannical?


New methods

New methods in law enforcement are being devised to better determine the threat score of individuals, and entities. The method includes a more extensive surveillance of citizens.

Police are consulting software to calculate a person’s potential for violence, based on history, and other criteria. The computer investigation includes searching through arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep Web searches and a person’s social-media postings. From this information, the system calculates a person’s threat level and where it appears on a list of three color-coded scores.

The potential of tyranny lies in the details, and definitions. At what point does being a law-abiding gun owner become a negative score? What about involvement in Tea Party groups, or registering as a Republican? Despite the perceived need for peace and safety, at what point does using technology to peer into the lives of citizens become an intrusive sign of tyranny, and an Orwellian Society where every member of the population is considered to be a potential threat to the government until proven innocent?

The tools available may be critical in helping law enforcement identify terrorists, thwart terrorist attacks, and keep personnel and citizens safe. Recent terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino may be great examples regarding how the system of seeking a threat score may be helpful in ascertaining the information necessary to determine if police need to move on a situation that may be a potential terrorist attack. The need for such measures does exist. But, where is that fine line between protection, and intrusion?

No public oversight

The problem is that these new technologies are being launched with little public oversight and have a great potential for abuse or error. While these methods may seem necessary to protect the public, the administration of these methods may not be properly guarded by trusted personnel. New investigative technology may be seen as a potential weapon that could be used against the public at large and persons or political ideologies that oppose those in power. Power-brokers in government potentially may be seeking an agenda designed to not necessarily protect the public as much as it is designed to enslave the public. Sound familiar?

While police swarm the citizenry in privacy, sweeping them for information with cameras and listening devices, and an intrusion into the private data in mobile devices, the 4th Amendment comes to mind, where our right to be safe from illegal searches and seizure is expressly enumerated.

The technology first emerged as a tool for the military to use on the battlefield, but now it is making its way into domestic law enforcement. The technology is less taxing on budgets, and more efficient than any and all methods currently in use. Why wouldn’t domestic law enforcement begin using these methods? And with each passing day the arsenal of high-tech tools is increasing, as your privacy is decreasing, in the name of keeping you safe. Big brother is watching you.

Should we give up our freedoms?

So, the question that arises is simple. How much are you willing to pay for peace and safety? How many freedoms are you willing to relinquish? At what point does the tools betray our freedoms, and pose as an imminent danger, not only to the enemies of liberty, but to those seeking to live peacefully in a system of liberty, without a potentially tyrannical government paying attention to their every activity? At what point will simply verbalizing your beliefs become a criminal offense? Hate speech comes to mind.
That day is closer than most people realize.

The line between liberty and tyranny is a fine one, with the definitions of peace, safety, and terrorism resting in the hands of statists in the federal government who seek to expand the size and scope of government, in the name of protection. Going back to the first paragraph, the Supremes said government cannot protect you. So this attempt to shut you up looks quite nefarious ( flagrantly wicked or impious.)

US to have sedition laws again

How far away are we from instituting Sedition Laws again, where a mere word against the government, or governmentally-defined protected groups, can lead to fines and imprisonment? Who does the defining?

Conclusion

As the presence of Islam in our society increases, signalling the likelihood of increased terrorist attacks on our soil, the government who swears they will protect us from terrorist activities have decided that Islam is a protected group, and are assisting the Muslims in installing sharia into the American System. This opposes assimilation, sets communities apart, eventually setting them against each other. Just look at Europe! In the House of Representatives, H.R.569 has been proposed, condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States.

At what point in history did these people come to the conclusion that failing to give aid and comfort to the enemy should be a criminal offense? Either we are at war with radical Islam or we are not. Who gets to define what is radical?

So you see keeping this 31,000 ISIS terrorist threat alive benefits government's ability to screw down your freedoms and liberties and impose hateful rhetoric laws giving aid and comfort to this religion of peace. Does this sound like America to you?

Will America wind up in a ditch like this?

The Most Amazing Prophecy of Them All

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Is there any way a rationalist can be convinced that the Bible is not just another religious book but the God-breathed Word of truth? The path that impressed me most is its audacious prophetic power. In fact, the prophet Daniel was told by the angel Gabriel (Daniel 9) the exact date on which the Messiah would come to Israel the first time.

Gabriel, answering Daniel’s prayer in Babylonian captivity came to reveal to Daniel what God planned to do with His Jewish people from that time in Babylon over 400 years before Jesus, all the way up to the terrible events of the last days--those days which I’m convinced we have even now entered into.

The book of Daniel, chapter 9 :24, reads: “Seventy sevens have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to restrain the transgression, to seal off sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to close off visions and prophesies, and to anoint the most holy place,” Gabriel told him.

“So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven units of seven and sixty-two units of seven; it will be rebuilt again, with streets and moat, even during times of distress. Then, after sixty-two units of seven the Messiah will be cut off and have no one, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary."

First off, what does Gabriel mean by the term “seventy sevens” or “seventy units of seven?” Some Bibles cite “weeks” but the actual Hebrew word used in chapter 9 is shavu-onim, which literally means “units of seven,” akin to our use of the word “dozens” for units of twelve. There’s no question this signifies a period of time, and by just multiplying it out, seventy times seven, we get 490. But 490 what? Days, weeks, months, years?

The Jews then and even today use a LUNAR calendar based on 360 days to the year, and adjust it by adding an extra month every six years. But when the word “year” is used for prophecy; it strictly means a span of 360 days. When in Jeremiah’s prophecy of the seventy years, the Hebrew word he used is shabu-yim, which is also based on the Hebrew root word for seven. So Daniel understood that Gabriel's seventy sevens signified 490 years.

Other Scriptures confirm this same way of expressing units of seven as years (for example, see Gen.29:27, and Lev.25:8). So in Daniel 9, the time span given by the angel Gabriel was to be clearly understood as a period of 490 years. This is a crucial number because it gives us today, and the Jewish students of the Bible back then, a precise measure for knowing when the Jews could expect the Messiah. Remember, this prophecy by Daniel was written down more than 500 years before the event!

Let’s look again at Daniel 9: 24-26; the time periods given in verses 24-26 are divided into two parts. First, there are seven sevens (49 years) given for rebuilding the city of Jerusalem. This is followed by a period of 62 sevens (or 434 years) from the time that the order is given to rebuild the holy city Jerusalem to the appearance of Messiah the Prince.

When was the commandment issued to rebuild the city of Jerusalem? We find that in the book of Nehemiah, chapter 2, verses 5-8:

“And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah; and a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.”

According to Nehemiah, that written permission was granted in the 20th reigning year of the Persian king Artaxerxes I, in the Hebrew month Nisan. Now that happens to be one of the best known dates in ancient history. The Enyclopedia Brittanica, which is not all that crazy about Bible prophecy, tells us that Artaxerxes took the throne in 465 B.C.

Therefore the 20th year of his reign would be 445 B.C. Since no day is given, according to Jewish reckoning the date would be given as the first day of the month of Nisan. When we translate that to the Gregorian calendar used today, we get the date of March 14, 445 B.C.

The book of Nehemiah describes a series of delays in rebuilding the Jerusalem wall, caused mostly by enemy sieges and attacks, along with the small number of volunteers working on the task. According to the late, John Walvoord, former Chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary, the rebuilding required one in ten Israelites to construct their own house in the Holy City. So the first “seven units of seven” or forty-nine years prophesied for the “street and the wall to be built again,” were literally fulfilled in 396 B.C.

The Roman historian Josephus recorded the troubles they had in rebuilding the city of Jerusalem. He wrote, “When the Ammonites and Moabites and Samaritans heard that the building went on apace, they took it heinously, and proceeded to lay snares for them, and to hinder their intentions. They also slew many of the Jews, and sought how they might destroy Nehemiah himself by hiring foreigners to kill him. But none of these things could deter Nehemiah from being diligent about the work.”

Joshephus describes how the workmen wore armor and carried swords at all times, with their shields a few feet away. Then the historian concludes that after 49 troublesome and agonizing years, the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its walls were completed in the year 396 B.C., exactly as the angel Gabriel had told Daniel it would be!

The prophecy also said it would be 70 sevens or 490 Hebrew years, sets the time for the appearance of "Messiah the Prince." Starting at 445 B.C., since a Jewish year was 360 days, we must multiply 360 times 483 years, which gives us 173,880 days. Our modern Gregorian calendar is based on 365 days per year, plus a leap-year day every four. So we need to divide-- 173,880 divided by 365 = 476.384 years.

There were 116 leap-year days (116 divided by 365 =0.318 years) Subtracting 0.318 years from 476.384 years = 476 years, 24 days. Adding 476 years, 24 days to March 14, 445 B.C. brings us to 31 A.D. Since only one year expired between 1 B.C. and 1 A.D., we must add one year, which gives us April 6, 32 A.D.

The most recent biblical scholarship tells us that April 6, 32 A.D. is the very day Jesus of Nazareth entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey to be proclaimed King of the Jews as the people yelled “Hosanna” and threw palm fronds at his feet.

Soon afterward, of course, Jesus was arrested and crucified, fulfilling Daniel's prophesy that after the “sixty-two sevens, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself” (that is, not for any crimes He himself committed), which also fulfills ISAIAH's prophesy in 53:8 which reads, “And He (the Messiah) was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.”

Biblical Terms You Should Be Familiar With
By Pastor Gary Boyd

Abomination of Desolation:
When the Antichrist sits down in the rebuilt Jewish Temple and declares himself to be God, the great tribulation of 42 months will then begin. At the occurrence of this event, the Jews living in Israel are commanded to flee into the wilderness. All tribulation saints will know, from that day on, they must now wait 1260 days before the Lord returns.
(Dan 9:27) ,(Mat 24:15-19)
Amillennialism:
(prefix "a," "no"). The belief that there is no literal 1000-year reign of Christ. Thus Revelation 20 is taken symbolically, not literally, by adherents of this view. Amillennialists generally believe that Israel has been permanently set aside for all time and that God's current plan of salvation involves only the Church.
Antichrist:
Often described as the most evil man that will ever live. He will arrive on the world scene and appear to be the world's savior, but everyone on earth will soon learn his real mission will be one of destruction. Also called the man of lawlessness (or sin), Gog, the son of destruction (or perdition).
(1 John 2:18) , (Rev 13:1-8)
Apostasy, The:
In the end times, the Bible predicts a great falling away or departure from the faith. Because we have experienced a number of generations where people have rebelled against God, the one that occurs leading up to the tribulation will likely surpass prior apostasies. The Greek word apostasy was originally used to describe a revolt staged by a military commander. (2 Thes 2:3), (Mat 24:11-13)
Armageddon:
Armageddon comes from the Hebrew word meaning "the Mount of Megiddo." This ancient fortress is located in northern Israel, across the Plain of Esdraelon from Nazareth. Armageddon will be the gathering place for the final great battle, which bears its name.
(Rev 16:16)
Church Age:
The "Church Age" began on the day of Pentecost and will end at with rapture of the church before the beginning of the tribulation. Many dispensationalists believe the Church is the reason why there is a gap between Daniel's 69th and 70th week.
Dan 9:24-27
Damascus:
The city of Damascus has been around for thousands of years and it has never been destroyed in battle. The Prophet Isaiah predicted that someday this city would be destroyed. Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Dispensationalism:
The view that believes God's dealings with men have proceeded through well-defined time periods, in each of which God reveals a particular purpose to be accomplished in that period, to which men respond in faith or unbelief.
Dragon:
The dragon is the symbolic name given to representative the devil. Satan is also described as "that old serpent."
(Rev 20:2)
Eastern Gate:
The Eastern Gate has a very important prophet role to play. It is the only gate that is currently blocked. The book of Ezekiel foretold that it would be shut and the only one who will open it will be the "Prince" Jesus
(Ezek 44:1-3)
Eschatology:
The study of things that relate to the end times. That which relates to the final events in the history of mankind, which is a big word to impress your friends.
False Church:
During the first part of the tribulation, the Antichrist's rise to power will be aided by a religious system, which will include most, if not all, of the world's major religions. During the second half of the tribulation the Antichrist will destroy this false church. The book of Revelation describes the false churches as the great whore.
(Rev 17:1-5)
False Prophet:
He will administrate the workings of the one-world church. The False Prophet's primary mission will be to cause the world to worship the Antichrist.
(Rev 13:11-14)
Gog And Magog:
Most prophetic scholars agree that Gog and Magog were the people that lived in the lands, which are now modern Russia. Someday Russia and a horde of Middle East countries will launch a surprise attack against Israel. All but one sixth of the Gog army will be destroyed upon the mountains of Israel.
(Ezekiel 38 and 39)
Historicism:
Historicism relates the timing of the current church age through the day/year theory. The day/year theory takes numbers such as the 2,300 days (Daniel 8:14)and 1,290 days (Daniel 12:11) and declares them to be years. They also relate the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments to major historical events that have occurred throughout the past 2,000 years. For example, the fifth seal in Revelation 6 may be identified as the martyrdom under Roman Emperor Diocletian (A.D. 284-304). The Pope is commonly looked at as being the Antichrist. Historicism is the view held by the Mormons, the Seventh-day Adventists, and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jacob's Trouble:
Called by Jeremiah as "the time of Jacob's trouble" and by Daniel as "the time of distress such as never occurred," this event will take place during the 3 1/2 year reign of antichrist. The time of Jacob's trouble will be a time of great suffering on earth. The suffering will be brought on by the actions of the Antichrist and by the wrath of God being poured out on a sinful world.
(Jer 30:7)
Judgment, Great White Throne:
This judgment is predominately for the unsaved. It is also believed to be a more stern judgment than the Judgment seat of Christ. It is here where all those that are not found written in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire. (Rev 20:11-15)
Judgment Seat Of Christ:
Immediately after the rapture, the church will receive rewards according to what they have done on earth, whether it be good or bad. The Judgment seat of Christ is for believers only. (2 Cor 5:10), (Rom 14:10-12),(Rev 11:15-18)
Kings of the East:
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. I believe the kings of the east will likely be or will largely include the nation of China. (Revelation 16:12)
Lake Of Fire:
The lake of fire is the final abode for all the lost, the Devil and all of his co-workers. Everyone that's condemned to this fiery inferno will suffer unrelenting eternal torment. (Rev 20:15)
Little Horn:
Daniel the prophet described seeing a little horn rising out from among ten other horns. The little horn is clearly another representation of the antichrist, because Daniel's accounting aligns with the apostle John's Revelation 13 description of the Antichrist.
(Dan 7:7-8), (Dan 7:19:25)
Mark Of The Beast:
"He causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." The Mark of the Beast will likely be a microchip implant that operates like an ATM or credit card. Remember, everyone who receives the Mark of the Beast will be cast into hell, so don't take the mark!
(Rev 13:16-18)
Millennium:
After the tribulation, Jesus Christ will set up an earthly Kingdom where he will rule for 1000 years.
(Rev 20: 3-4)
Preterism:
The belief that nearly all prophetic events have already occurred. The year 70 AD is a popular date where Preterists claim that the book of Revelation was fulfilled. Under preterism you are basically left to just waiting for Jesus to return.
Progressive Dispensationalism:
A recent form of dispensationalism, which emphasizes the present spiritual reign of Christ on David's throne.
Rapture:
At an unknown hour and day the Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, while remaining in the air, he will snatch his Bride, the Church, out from among this sinful world. Christ then takes the Church to heaven for the 7 year wedding feast. The earthly reason for the removal of the Church is to make way for the rise of Antichrist and to fulfill Daniel's final 70th week.
(Mat 25:13), (1 Thes 4:16-18), (1 Cor 15:51-54)
Red Heifer:
The Bible predicts that the Jewish Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Ever since the 70 AD destruction, one major roadblock barring the reconstruction of the Temple is the fact that the Temple Mount area has been defiled by warfare. In order to cleanse the tribulation Temple Mount for worship, the Jews will need the ashes of a pure red heifer. Numbers chapter 19 describes how King Solomon cleansed the first Temple with the ashes of a specially prepared red heifer.
(Numbers 19:2-9)
Replacementism
Replacement theology is the view that Israel, having failed God, has been replaced by the Church around 70 AD. The Church is now seen as spiritual Israel and spiritual Jerusalem. This teaching claims that all the promises and blessings, in fact Israel's entire inheritance, now belongs to the Church. However, all is not lost for Israel; it gets to keep all the curses.
Restrainer, The:
The presence of the Holy Spirit on earth currently is what restrains the forces of evil. The Holy Spirit resides in the lives of all believers, which is why Christians are called the "salt of the earth." When the Church is removed at the rapture, most of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit will be removed as well.
(2 Thes 2:7), (Mat 5:13)
Rosh Hashanah:
The Jewish festival of the civil New Year celebrated on the first and second days of the month Tishri. During this holiday trumpets are blown as a call for repentance. Many Christians look towards Rosh Hashanah as a possible time for the rapture.
(Numbers 10:1-10)
Second Coming:
This is the time when Jesus Christ will return, defeat the Antichrist, and set up his 1000 year kingdom on earth. The second coming is not the rapture. The rapture takes place approximately 7 years prior to the second coming. Another important difference between the two is that the rapture will occur at an unknown time while the second coming will take place 42 months after the Antichrist declares himself to be God.
(Rev 13:5), (Mat 25:13)
Tribulation:
A period of time lasting 7 years, the first 3 1/2 years will be relatively peaceful as the antichrist rises to power. The second 3 1/2 years will bring the greatest suffering in human history as the wrath of God and the Antichrist is poured out on earth.
(Dan 9:27) , (Mat 24:21)
Witnesses, Two:
During the tribulation, two men will prophesy in the streets of Jerusalem. These two witnesses of God will have the power to prevent it from raining on the earth, to call fire down from heaven, to turn bodies of water into blood, and to command a number of other plagues. After they preach for 42 months, the Antichrist will be allowed to kill them. Three and 1/2 days later they will be resurrected and raptured up to heaven. Some scholars say the two men could be Elijah and Enoch or Moses and Elijah.
(Rev 11:3-13), (Malachi 4:5-6)
Wrath of God, The:
The Wrath of God is poured out on man at the midpoint of the tribulation. The people of earth will come under God's wrath because they refuse to turn from their wicked ways. Those that receive the Antichrist Mark will not only come under God's wrath, but will be lost forever. (1 Thes 1:10), (1 Thes 5:9) , (Rev 14:9-11)
10 Nation Confederation - Toes; Horns; Kings:
Out of the area that once was the Roman Empire, ten leaders will arise. The only purpose these 10 leaders will have is to give their power to the Antichrist.
(Dan 2:41-44), (Dan 7:20), (Rev 17:12), (Rev 17:17)
70th Week:
The final seven years of Gentile domination of the nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem; the last week of the seventy weeks of years (490 years) of Daniel's prophecy which will begin after the long interval.
(Daniel 9:27)
144,000 Jewish Saints:
Before the Antichrist administers his mark, God will send an angel to mark the foreheads of 144,000 Jews - 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes. The 144,000 sealed Jews will apparently be commissioned to be a witness to the Gentiles during the tribulation.
(Rev 7:2-8)
200 Million Man Army, The:
During the latter part of the tribulation an Oriental army of some 200 million strong, will move into the Middle East, crossing over the dried up Euphrates River. This army, guided by four demonic angels, will kill one third of mankind.
(Rev 9:14-16), (Rev 16:12)

Will 2016 Be the Start of the Seven Year Tribulation?
By Pastor Gary Boyd

2015 ended with a flood of articles that point to world events moving in the direction of the Tribulation period with Psalms 83 taking center stage first. Remember the Psalms 83 war is a pre-emptive short protracted war by the Israelis who strike first expanding their land territory four fold.

Knowledge expanded

Another article for example, on Dec. 18, 2015, it was reported that there is a digital knowledge divide in the world because most of the households in the Middle East don’t have access to the Internet. And to overcome this digital knowledge divide, the UN agreed to build the infrastructure for the whole world to have access to the Internet by 2030.

This desire to increase the knowledge of multitudes in the Middle East is a reminder of something that God said, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (Dan. 12:4). This has already started.

This expansion of the Internet will also enable people to see the abomination of desolation stand in the holy place at the middle of the Tribulation period (Matt. 24:15; Rev. 12:6). And it will enable people to see the Antichrist set on David’s throne claiming himself to be God causing abomination that leads to desolation. The internet will help people be able to see the killing of the Two Witnesses, see their bodies lying in the street of Jerusalem for three days and then see them raised from the dead and ascend up into heaven (Rev. 11:7-12).

On Dec. 24, 2015, it was reported that more than 25 prominent rabbis from Israel and abroad have issued a statement calling for a renewed look at
Temple to be rebuilt

Jesus, Christians and the New Testament faith.These outstanding Orthodox rabbis said they are not ashamed to exalt the name of Jesus and to welcome the carpenter from Nazareth back into the Jewish fold.
It is important to understand all Israel will get saved (Rom. 11:26), but before that happens the Jews will rebuild the Temple, plans presently in the works, and resume the animal sacrifices. They won’t get saved as a nation until all of them accept Jesus as their Messiah at the end of the Tribulation period (Zech. 12:10-12).

The 144,000 sealed

However, 144,000 Jewish servants (12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel) will be saved and sealed at the beginning of the Tribulation period (Rev. 7:1-8). They will be the firstfruits unto God and Jesus during the Tribulation period (Rev. 14:4).The Tribulation saints will lead multitudes to Jesus (Rev. 7:9-17). And this new Jewish attitude toward Jesus could be preparing the hearts of Spirit filled Jews who will evangelize the world after the Rapture.

ISIS a killing machine

On Dec. 25, 2015, Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, warned in his Christmas sermon that an apocalypse is taking place and Christians are facing elimination in the Middle East. He said ISIS hates anyone who thinks differently from them; ISIS will not tolerate an opposing point of view; and ISIS has killed thousands and uprooted many communities.

World Net Daily employed Clout Research to conduct a national opinion poll of registered voters in the U.S. It is somewhat disturbing to hear that Clout found that 45 percent of Democrats, 36 percent of Independents and 20 percent of Republicans think Christians are a greater threat to the U.S. than Muslims. Reminds me of the scripture that says people will call evil good and good evil in these last days.

Delusion coming

America’s voters are clearly turning away from the truth (II Tim. 4:3-4).
Concerning the signs of His coming, Jesus said, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matt. 24:9). This is America and Israel as anti-semitism is on the rise worldwide and with the recent release of Hitler’s book “My Life,” that sold out in Germany in one day, it will only be a matter of time until some zealot takes up the fascist cause again.

Our Lord was speaking primarily about the Jews, but His teaching has implications for Christians. The hatred and persecution of Jews and beheadings of Christians are signs of the approaching Tribulation period.

The world soon to be at war again

On Dec. 31, 2015, the armies of Russia, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Israel ended the year on their highest level of war alert. It is prophesied that all of these nations will be involved in wars as the Tribulation period nears (Ezek. 38-39; Isa. 17).

Finally, as a new year begins, it is being reported that Pres. Obama said the idea of a lame duck presidency is nonsense. He said he plans to be very active in 2016 starting with a strong move on gun control.

Gun control big failure

Gun control laws haven’t worked in France, Chicago, Britain, San Bernardino or anywhere else for that matter and they won’t work in the U.S. not with 300 million guns in the hands of defenders. They are just a scam to disarm America before the globalists try to establish their New World Order (world government).

Gun control laws disarm honest citizens, but they don’t prevent gangs, criminals and terrorists from getting guns on the black market to use in petty crimes, murders, felonies, and outright terrorism. They don’t prevent radicalized Muslims from buying, storing and distributing guns at mosques. We must remember guns do not kill people, people kill people. Drug gangs and radicalized Muslims use guns as a terror weapon, it is working.

Obama a believer in Saul Alinsky

Many believe that Pres. Obama (a committed Marxist) is trying to take control of the local police and that he may try to stay in office illegally after his present term ends. No one knows just yet what Pres. Obama’s gun control executive actions will do or if he will try to stay in office through martial law. We are, however only 12 months away from the answer. When Americans deal with a sociopath it is hard to know what delusion he will follow up on next.

World trending towards apocalypse

Many signs seem to indicate that the world is trending toward the Tribulation period and only a few are aware of how close it is to becoming a fundamentally changed global police state. A third of the planet’s population will be gone right away along with the true Church in the rapture. Billions eventually will perish off the planet. The true Church will be saved from God’s wrath because Jesus will come for His Church first before the Tribulation starts. As you see the time is short, come quickly sweet Jesus.

My question to you is if iterm limits is good enough for the presidency then why not the Congress? When you do not have term limits you get the kind of government you deserve. What we have now is a Congress that agrees on nothing, then pass a huge Omnibus Bill at the end of the year so large no one has a chance to read it. So planned parenthood gets funded (53 million babies murdered) along with Obamacare (that has quadrupled the cost of healthcare). Is this the kind of treachery you want, cause you sure got it!

Libya - The New Front of the Western Coalition

By Martin Berger a Czech-based freelance journalist and analyst
Researched by Gary Boyd

It’s clear now that Russian and Western airstrikes against ISIL (Islamic State) militants in Syria and Iraq in recent months have inflicted huge human and financial losses upon it. Under these circumstances the Islamic State is desperately looking for new Muslim countries to operate in. The Islamic State leadership is seeking ways to compensate for the financial losses it has suffered, and establish new backup outposts outside the Middle East. That is why ISIL has been fairly active in plans to take control of Libya, which is particularly rich in “black gold”, as well as Afghanistan, with is home to a profitable narcotics market.

The Al-Battar battalion

Some may wonder about the staggering progress ISIL has been able to achieve in Libya, but it’s hardly a surprise to experts, since in recent years thousands of citizens of this country left their homeland to join Islamist groups in Syria and Iraq. Approximately one thousand of these hardened fighters have already returned to Libya to join the local ISIL forces. It should be noted that Libyan Islamists were responsible for some key operations in Syria and Iraq. In particular, they were part of Al-Battar battalion, known for its constant suicide attacks, ruthless extermination of the local population and the brutal suppression of the uprising in Deir ez-Zor.

There was a strong warning that was voiced on December 1, 2015 by UN observers that Libya is turning into a key stronghold of ISIL, while being in the immediate vicinity of coastlines of the EU, may truly reflect the extent of ISIL expansion.

Reconnaissance flights

The Islamic State has already established its control over more than 240 kilometers of Libyan coastline. The number of militants of the Islamic State in the area is estimated to exceed 5,000 militants, and among them one can find not only Libyans alone, but also former citizens of various Arab and European states.
Reconnaissance flights launched back in November 2015 by the French carrier Charles de Gaulle confirmed the strengthening of ISIL in the area, with numerous military camps being spotted across Libya.

Today one of the prime objectives of ISIL militants in Libya is to establish control over its oil exports. This goal is to be achieved by getting hold of Libyan ports, strategically important roads, intersections, and the better part of Libya’s oil terminals to the south of Ajdabiya. The fact that in January Islamists assaulted the port of Es Sider, getting stuck in a violent firefight with the defense units that were entrusted with port’s security reveals that they have been actively pursuing this goal. The estimated income one can get from Libya’s oil amounts to a whopping sum of 100 billion dollars a year. Imagine what these terrorist would kill with that staggering amount of cash.

Field commander Wissam bin Hamid

At the same time ISIL is attempting to control contraband operations in Libya, since there’s a considerable amount of weapons being smuggled across Libyan territory. The destruction of the Libyan state as a direct result of Western military intervention in 2011 marked the uncontrolled spread of weapon supplies in the country and along its borders. As a result, the Islamic State was able to take control of weapons supplies destined to government militias in Tripoli, even despite the fact that it has been fighting it at the same time. A key figure that controls the money flows for the arming of the militias of Misrata and Benghazi is field commander Wissam bin Hamid, who is closely associated with the extremist Islamist militias. He was the leader of a very powerful Benghazi militia at the time of the attack on the US consulate in September 2012.

As for the access of ISIL to the banking operations, this problem is greatly simplified for them in Libya in the context of the ongoing dual power in the country: on the one hand – there is the elected parliament, sitting in the city of Tobruk, on the other – pro-Islamic universal national congress, sitting in Tripoli. Under these circumstances, and taking into account the specific operations of the Libyan Central Bank, which transfers money to both governments, ISIL has no trouble gaining access to international financial flows. “Hawks” in Tripoli are more concerned with the eventual victory over the forces of the Islamist brigades of General Haftara, but not ISIL.

Foothold in Libya will allow attacks on Europe

Against this background, the countries of Western Europe have been increasingly concerned with the strengthening of ISIL positions in Libya. If this country is transforming into a base for the Islamic State, Islamists will be able to launch terrorist attack in Europe from it, hiding their suicide attackers under the guise of poor Libyan refugees. For this reason the leading European states have been discussing the possibility of creating a new coalition for months, which should be able to deal with the growing ISIL influence in Libya.

Back in February 2015 Italy made it clear that it was prepared to send ground troops to confront the Islamic State in Libya, that had been drafting its various plans some 350 kilometers away from its territory.

French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian voiced his concerns over the situation in Libya a year earlier – in 2014, stressing the need for carrying out a military operation in Libya and for launching air strikes. Shortly before last Christmas Le Figaro stated that the French Defense Ministry is considering a six months long military intervention in Libya to be launched before spring.

Air-craft carrier Charles de Gaulle

Paris perceives such a military initiative as a timely measure, especially against the backdrop of considerable military forces being deployed in the region. The presence in the region of Charles de Gaulle carrier allows France to easily redirect up to three dozen warplanes that are now being employed in Iraq and Syria. In addition, French military experts believe that the special operation can be carried out with the support of the Madam French military base in northern Niger, while stressing the fact that this operation is aimed at ensuring the safety of the civilian institutions of the new Libyan government. It should be remembered, as the Huffington Post notes, French and British special forces have already been deployed in Libya back in 2011 in the Nafusa mountains.

Britain finally moving

The United Kingdom is also considering the possibility of sending a considerable military force to oppose the Islamic State in Libya after receiving approval from the parliament on December 2, 2015. In particular, UK Defense Minister Michael Fallon has stated that London can send up to one thousand soldiers to Libya, thus extending British military engagements in Syria and Iraq to one more country.

The possibility of a NATO military operation in Libya has been confirmed by a Libyan representative in the United Nations. According to him, four NATO countries (the United States, Italy, France and the United Kingdom) are prepared to launch airstrikes against the stronghold of the Islamic State in Libya, that would be later supported by ground troops, which should establish control over the territories occupied by ISIL.

So the year 2016 – the year of the “fiery monkey” will begin with a new military intervention in Libya, where chaos has been reigning solely due to the shortsighted actions of NATO “hawks” who unleashed armed aggression against this country back in 2011. It’s only natural to wonder if any of these “hawks” would ever be brought to justice for the chaos they created in North Africa and the Middle East? And for how long will people be paying with their lives for the greed of Western defense contractors? Fingers for intervention point right back at the White House and the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Good luck with that mess…….

GOP Congressional Creeps would rather See the USA die Than give up Power and Wealth

Article By Sher Zieve January 11, 2016
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

With ongoing acts of patent lunacy—or the darker reason…collaboration—the Republican-controlled US Congress refuses to remove the cancer eating away at Washington D.C. just as the Democrats have done for decades. Instead, the aforementioned Congress seems to prefer the ultimate demise-for-lack-of-proper-care that will soon be the cause of death. One of the primary reasons used as an excuse is the now cliché false fear of being called a “racist” if they oppose the country’s enslavement of its citizens with replacement of illegal ones and totalitarian leftist policies.

Note…at some point almost all politicians become leftists in order to enrich themselves and they begin to view their constituencies as “the great unwashed masses” who are beneath them. They, then, begin to use any inane excuse to draw curious eyes away from what they’re really doing. And, at some point it no longer matters on which side they pretend to be…because it’s the side that solely enriches them.

Omnibus Bill filled with frills

After passing the “Omnibus” bill—which already includes all sorts of snakes and vermin including, but not limited to, fully funding Planned Parenthood, ObamaCare and the resettlement of Syrians “refugees” and other thousands of assorted Muslims into our country—our replacements—Speaker of the House and Boehner clone Paul Ryan patted himself on the back for passing another bill in the House which eliminates ObamaCare and defunds Planned Parenthood. Do you remember when Paul Ryan said that he’d wait to pass the omnibus bill until after a new POTUS is elected…then passed it in the middle of the night ala Harry Reid and the rest of the Marxist Dems?

One Party Rules

As I’ve stated multiple times before, the USA is now under a one-party political system that has 2 heads which attempt to speak opposite messages in order to confuse and better control the proletariat. Our Republic was replaced quite some time ago. In the history of our country this has never been clearer than it is today. Our Founders—including John Adams and George Washington amongst others—warned us about a 2-party political system. Adams said:

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution” while Washington followed with (in part) “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.”

“It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”

People to Blame

In my opinion, however, it is not necessarily a political party system that is to blame for our current enormous problems. Rather, it is an electorate that—long ago—left the running of the federal government to the “professional” politicians…so that it could grow unchecked in power, wealth (ours) and scope and eventually encompass and subjugate us all. Term limits should have been invoked years ago. It is also a citizenry which, in large part, turns up its collective nose and says “I don’t follow or get involved in politics” because it sounds worldly and urbane to do so or—perhaps more likely—because of laziness or being screwed down to their 24/7 jobs. Governments built upon the concept of liberty, property ownership and the equality of pursuit of individual opportunity (to date only one comes to mind and that is the one now being summarily destroyed) cannot survive unless its citizenship becomes directly involved in its policy implementation.

Citizens should be involved

When American citizens did become involved in government, organizations such as Planned Parenthood abortuaries and a Bureau of Land Management gone rogue (and for all intents and purposes is now a mercenary institution reporting to the highest bidder) would not be allowed to exist. These—and other oppressive to the people that are now prevalent—would have been stopped in their tracks before their power became so great.

The clear & present dangers

By now, most of us should be—and I believe are—fully awake to the clear and present dangers which face our country and us. More and more are becoming active. Keep it up, grow your numbers and we might actually be able—with courage and lots of work—be able to pull our country out of the Luciferian Left morass. A convention of states would be a good start. I don’t, however, believe we can do it with the vast majority of those currently in power. Nothing less than a sea change is required, gee maybe term limits.

Middle class is gone

The American middle class has been broken, busted & disgusted bombed so big you could probably see it easily from space. As these political blowhards stand over the fallen body of their original conceit, we can all wrap our bluesy head around these wobbly empty suits bottom feeding scumbags, these incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, double talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, criminal coddling, bleeding heart, narcissistic scientific and economic morons now currently sabotaging every citizens move in Congress and in the White House.

The sobbing nutjob whimpering on camera last week about taking guns away from the citizens to protect the killing of children in our schools was absolutely delusional. What we need is to pay for police guards in our school with fully loaded weapons and lock all the entrances. Celebs have armed body guards, Congressmen have armed guards, the Prez is protected by an armed Secret Service; aren’t our children just as important as these criminals? Come on people take up the fight and get these power leaches to vote term limits or they go to jail for misrepresentation, lying to the public, and stealing your tax money. The laws are there use them.

Money grabbing fools


They are burning our constitution


Time to take our country back

The Nazi party is a right-wing party because although it is based on the struggle of the masses, its basic principle is that of the existence of a dictator and strong centralization. Typically left wing radicals are communist and right wing radicals are fascist.

The Story of Hitler’s Life Released Again in Germany!

Germany today is going through a change. Angela Merkel’s left wing party is about to take some hits by the right wing on their liberal policies towards Syrian refugees to the tune of letting 1 million unvetted shiftless immigrants into the country with ISIS implants. They have already raped over 100 women on New Year’s Eve in Cologne Germany causing the right wing to raise its ugly head in vicious diatribes.

The right wing is gaining in popularity because of this and just recently the book “Mein Kampf” written by Hitler while in prison in the 20’s has been released again with major sales so far. You would think this would be a disgrace for the German people, but others in the far right do not think so.

Here are some of the repercussions from World Net Daily News: “Mein Kampf,” Hitler’s notorious writings about his political ideology, out of print since the 1940s, has returned to print in Germany, with some lauding the accomplishment as a way to understand better the Nazi thinking and agenda.

Others say that’s just bunk.

Jan Markell, of Olive Tree Ministries, worked with Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman to create a book and movie, both titled “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell,” that describes that era in Germany.

“Will the ghost of Adolf Hitler never die?” she told WND. “Likely not as anti-Semitism never dies. Satan keeps it alive as he thinks he can actually destroy the Jewish people and upset the end-time plan of God. He will be surprised. He can harm the ‘apple of God’s eye,’ but he cannot destroy them.”

The new book, actually a text in two volumes, hit shelves in Germany starting Friday, published by the Munich-based Institute for Contemporary History.

“It is as though Germany has lost its mind,” Markell told WND. “First they welcome in thousands of Islamic refugees who are raping and pillaging. Now they bring back to life words that nearly destroyed Europe a generation ago.”

Andreas Wirsching, of the Institute for Contemporary History, said the annotated edition will allow for the “demystification” of the Nazi era product.

See “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell,” the book and movie that resulted when Jan Markell of Olive Tree had a conversation with Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman about her experiences.

“Champions of this say it will provide a greater understanding of the Nazi era,” Markell said. “We have a full understanding of it. There are legions of books and movies about it plus historical publications. It was a demon-inspired time and a precursor to the Islamo-Nazi movement of today. Radical Islamists have brought back this era.

“We’re at a time in history where people want a break from bad news. I am told daily by my ministry followers that they are ‘unplugging’ from the news because it is so dismal. To bring back this book from hell is to throw gasoline on the fires of this kind of sentiment that wants to detach from dark news.”

She continued, “I am a student of the Holocaust and I really believe in keeping this era on the minds of people! I have written a book about this time in history, published by WND. But this is no way to keep the memories alive! Let’s celebrate the lives of those who are still alive, those who liberated them, and honor the greatest generation in more productive ways.”

The Times of Israel reported that the publication of Hitler's My Life came about because the copyright held by the German state of Bavaria, which had withheld permission for its publication, expired at the end of 2015.

World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said it would be better to leave the book “where it belongs: in the poison cabinet of history.”
And Charlotte Knoblich, head of Munich’s Jewish community and commissioner for Holocaust memory at the World Jewish Congress, said the project is a slap in the fact to Holocaust survivors’ associations worldwide.


“The fact is, just dealing with the book raises interest in it – and that interest, for many, is not in the commentary but in the original text,” she told the Times.

The report said those supportive of discussing “Main Kampt” in schools include German education minister Johanna Wanka, who is of the same political party as Chancellor Angela Merkel.

See “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell,” the book and movie that resulted when Jan Markell of Olive Tree had a conversation with Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman about her experiences.


Conclusion

This is what was said on the book just released. Strange enough the Bible speaks of a time when 10 nations arise out of Europe that will challenge Israel’s power in the middle east. If Merkel is voted out and the right wing is empowered the Hitler banner will again be raised with followers nationwide. The scary thought is if they have any DNA of Hitler from that era they could absolutely clone him again as he was. All they need is more atrocities from the immigrants and the right will be on its way to bringing ghosts from the past back to life. God help us all!

Coming in 2016 - false prophets, the economy, Islam, and the Lord’s mission.


There are at least four points that we should be conscious of during travails to come in 2016—false prophets, the economy, Islam, and the Lord’s mission.

Number 1: Many so called prophets are prophesying for the 2016 new year. Some are hanging on to the same themes from previous years, adding to them descriptors such as “super” this or that.
Their prophesies didn’t come true then..so maybe this will be the year. Some are wrapped in words of intrigue such as “Discover the mystery.” Others want you to attend expensive conferences to “Hear God’s voice,” or receive a “Mandate from heaven” or new things discovered in god’s word. A lot of them want to sell you new visions or dreams putting a high price tag on them for their own personal profit. The Lord said in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.”

Number 2: It doesn’t take a prophet to look at the circumstances with which we are faced at the beginning of 2016 and see where things could head south verily quickly. Examples like, the economy is weighted down with over $18 trillion in debt, 94 million people are unemployed having given up on finding a job, 45 million on foodstamps sucking up government bennies, while there is an invasion of Syrian illegal aliens and federal government-forced secret repopulation efforts that will put more pressure on the thinning job market and on put more load on the taxpayers.

Pile on top of that the weight of welfare programs for the newly unemployed, money for the illegal aliens, and socialist healthcare where prices have quadrupled, and we have a perfect economic storm in the making. Something has to give at some point along the way. These are the consequences of bad ideological leadership at a time in our history when no jobs of consequence have been created and bad choices have been made along the way. Keystone pipeline comes to mind where we could have added thousands of new jobs along with the elimination of coal mining jobs, the president is rapidly scrapping coal jobs that are already here.

Number 3: Everyone knows there will be many ISIS terrorists among the thousands of immigrants permitted to come into the United States and Europe from terrorist-sponsoring states. The populations in Europe and the US have slowly caught on and now are quickly throwing up roadblocks to this unholy plan. There will be more and more terrorism against innocents in nations who welcome Islamists into their countries as is now happening in Germany with the rape of over 100 hundred women on New Year’s Eve by shiftless foreigners.

Along with this colonization will come the same kind of violence, crime, human trafficking, white slavery, drug smuggling and poverty that is the hallmark of Islam throughout the world. We must ask: How does a prophetic people respond to this? Politically, we must work to stop it. Spiritually, we work to bring these folks into the full knowledge of the one true God and his son Jesus Christ. Jesus said, I am the truth, the light, and the way, no one comes to the Father except by me.

Number 4: The consequences of bad leadership and bad choices are not wholly derived from political leaders, but also church leadership. The condition of our nation is directly related to the pulpit and our still majority Christian communities across this land. As a prophetic people, we must understand the standards of God and adhere to them—in holding both accountability and love. The Laodicean Church, the era the Bible talks about as being the lukewarm church, is the present era we are in.

Conclusion

Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-40, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” The question is, are we doing our best to make this happen as a Churched nation that is still in the majority? This should be our goal for 2016 bringing this to fruition.

Choices as a person and as a people determine our place in Bible prophecy. Choices will also determine consequences, good or bad, for individuals and nations. Where we go from here is up to you. We must catch the fire of revival, deposit it into the present world, fan the flames of God’s love and help the world catch the passion of Christ. Spreading the word of the gospel, the great commission, is God’s mandate to the saved Church. We must do his work quickly for there is but a little time left before his imminent return.

May God bless you in all that you do.

Love for the World
By Scott Huckaby
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd--Here is an excellent article by my brother in Christ

It continues to amaze me that not all who profess to follow Jesus Christ are excited about His soon return. The top reasons I have found for my fellow Christians being cold toward Bible prophecy can be summarized as love for the world.

This attitude appears to especially be a problem for the church in America because of our prosperity. But this problem is not just limited to the United States; it is also an issue in Europe and generally worldwide wherever Western civilization is embraced.

World lured into idolatry

America’s prosperity has lured us into idolatry. Collectively, we no longer believe we have been blessed by God to serve His purpose; instead, the conventional wisdom is that we have reached our comfortable position in life through strictly human achievement.

There is a general attitude today that we have gotten this far without God, so then there is no problem we can’t fix given enough time, funding, and focused human will. This attitude is much the same as it was at the tower of Babel.
“Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves” (Genesis 11:4).
Babylon is famous for collective human achievement attempting to usurp the role of God.

The American Church

Now you’d think we wouldn't have an idolatry problem in the Body of Christ, but the Idol of human prosperity has a big foothold in the American church. Jesus rebuked the Church of Laodicea for their being lukewarm toward Him and thinking their worldly wealth equated to spiritual wealth (Revelation 3:14-22).

Our prosperity has led American Christians to no longer be on fire for Jesus because we don’t depend on Him for our daily needs. We may live in the final Laodicean phase of the Church Age but this doesn’t mean we have to succumb to being Laodicean believers ourselves.

Loving the world is a characteristic of not being a child of God.
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15).

Our selfish human nature

In context, the world, here refers to the system created by society to manage the world. The world system people have collectively created is one that appeals to our natural selfish human nature. If we allow our selfish human nature to be the guide for our lives, we will find ourselves on a path away from God.

Our selfish human nature seeks the pleasures of this world, that which is attractive, and that which makes us feel good about ourselves.
“For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world” (1 John 2:16).

The three sins

The three basic sins mentioned in 1 John 2:16 represent all the things that lead us from God. These appeals of the world were the very ones Satan leveraged to tempt Eve in the Garden of Eden and Jesus during His 40-day fast (Genesis 3:6 and Matthew 4:1-11). Society’s godless world system is driven by seeking the pleasurable, the attractive, and whatever makes us feel good.

God is the Creator of pleasure, attractiveness and all things good. But it is sin to seek these blessings through strictly human efforts while not regarding them as gifts from God to be enjoyed within His constraints and in His timing.

Society’s humanist world loving mindset has crept into the Church today causing many to be lukewarm toward Christ. Many in the Church now take a liberal view of Scripture, no longer seeing the Bible as the inerrant, inspired Word of God but just the story of mankind’s search for God. Thus there is less desire to spend time personally studying God’s Word.

Does the Bible need to be interpreted?

Why waste time reading the Bible if it is just words of men that are subject to interpretation? Why bother to personally study the Bible if it has to be interpreted for you by scholarly theologians to tell us what God really meant by what He said? And why take any of this too seriously since we can’t really know if Bible interpreters are just making things up?

If the Bible is not the inspired Word of God then people are free to pick and choose whatever doctrines of men they like. And these dogmas change with the mores of society, causing people to be carried about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14).

The only way to avoid being blown about by society’s changing winds of doctrine is to be well-grounded in God’s Word. And it is not possible to be well-grounded in God’s Word unless you have a correct view of the Bible as being inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16).

Another way followers of Christ have allowed love for the world to creep into the Church is to embrace the world’s concept of evolution which attempts to explain how the creation could come to be without a Creator. Darwinian evolution is only a theory with no proof but the world has elevated it to the level of scientific truth which is belief in a lie.

The Lord’s creation is the truth

If you don’t embrace Darwinian evolution as absolute “settled” truth you are considered by society to be an unscientific hayseed. Nobody wants to be rejected by their peers so this has given rise to followers of Christ figuring out how to fit evolution into Christian theology.

The idea that God used an evolutionary process to bring about the creation is called Theistic Evolution and to believe it requires you to take a pretty liberal view of Scripture. And it joins with the world in rejecting all the scientific evidence that supports the literal Genesis account of creation.

Theistic Evolution can be considered to be within the pale of orthodoxy because it technically has nothing to do with a person’s salvation. But theistic evolution does represent a gross compromise with the world that has contributed to the lukewarm attitude toward Christ that characterizes this Laodicean Age.

Is today's American church deceiving itself?

The problem with being lukewarm toward Christ is that one has to wonder if such individuals are truly children of God or if they are just deceiving themselves. Cultural Christians can talk the talk and walk the walk but don’t necessarily have a personal relationship with the Savior. Jesus said He would spew lukewarm Christians out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16).

He also said that many who did great things even in His name would find themselves banished from heaven because, I never knew you (Matthew 7:21-23). If you are truly seeking a personal relationship with the Savior, it is hard to be lukewarm toward Him.
Amillennialism

A key indicator of Christians loving the world is Amillennialism. The idea that the kingdom of God will only be a spiritual kingdom until the eternal state is ushered in requires the same spiritualized, liberal view of Scripture that is necessary to embrace Theistic Evolution. The two false doctrines go hand-in-hand and are characteristic of the lukewarm church of this Laodicean Age.

It is hard for Christians who take a liberal view of Scripture to get excited about the return of Jesus. If it took millions of years for Jesus to come the first time, it will probably be millions of years before He returns.
Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming?’” (2 Peter 3:3-4).

World is temporary

We are told in 1 John 2:17 why we shouldn’t love the world system men are building; this world along with even the passion for it—is passing away. Despite the prevailing humanist optimism, people inherently know there is something very broken with this world. No matter what we do, we still have poverty, despair and war in this world.

While most still think we can fix these problems through even more collective effort, we have been trying this and things are getting worse rather than better. Those who put their hope in more and more powerful human governments will have their own crisis of faith because the Bible says these efforts will fail.

Debt leads to bondage

We can already see the stage being set for a spectacular failure of the collective human effort. For example, we have been financing our prosperity by immorally building up debt. National and personal debt is a problem worldwide that has reached monumental proportions. Our collective conscience telling us that it is wrong to live beyond our means has been seared.

Debt always leads to bondage (Proverbs 22:7). And there will be consequences whether it is individual or national debt. It is increasingly obvious that there is an economic crash coming that will be so bad the world will demand a global government to fix it.



Jesus the answer

The only fix true for what ails this world is Jesus Christ; He will make a difference collectively to the world when He returns to establish His millennial kingdom. But He makes a difference to individuals in the here and now when we allow Him to be in our life as Savior and Lord.

Pursuing that relationship enables us to overcome the sin of this Laodicean Age to be resurrected as part of the Bride of Christ when He comes for us prior to the Tribulation that will prepare the world for the millennial kingdom.

The good news is that, he who does the will of God abides forever (1 John 2:17). The will of God is to trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation (John 6:40). Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by allures of creation that would cause you to miss out on a personal relationship with the Creator. Come soon sweet Jesus.
