Farrakhan Declares Obama as Messiah

This is truly frightening. Before you watch the video clip, remember that Farrakhan is the leader of the Nation of Islam, so he prays to allah. When he says "god", remember that his god is allah. His words that "Obama has captured the youth" are haunting. His claim that Obama is a messiah let's us get a glimpse of how the world will accept the anti-christ as the savior of the world.

Watch this clip and try to wake up as many people as you can;

Persecution

I just recieved this email from our friend Kim Gustafson. It's an urgent prayer request from YWAM Christians in India. People are being slaughtered today simply for bearing the name of Christ. Certainly Satan knows his time is short and is rising to claim his throne on this earth...if only for a little while.

Here is the email;

> URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! Dear beloved sponsors and friends of Good News India. > > We have never seen anything like this. We knew that Orissa was the most resistant and hostile State in India as far as the Gospel is concerned. And we brushed off the continuous threats and harassment we faced as we went about His work. But none of our staff imagined that they would see this kind of carnage. And it seems to be totally under the radar of the Western Media. > > Let me explain: A militant Hindu priest and 4 of his attendants, who were zealously going around the villages of Orissa and 'reconverting' people back to Hinduism, were gunned down by unknown assailants in Central Orissa last weekend. Immediately the Christians were blamed. The cry rose up...'Kill the Christians!' And the horror began. > > In the past 4 days, we have first-hand witness to hundreds of churches being blown up or burned and many, many dozens of Christian tribals 0A have been slaughtered. For no other reason than they bear the name of Christ. > > Night and day I have been in touch with our Good News India Directors spread across 14 Dream Centers in Orissa... they are right in the middle of all this chaos. In Tihidi, just after the police came to offer protection, a group of 70 blood-thirsty militants came to kill our staff and destroy the home. They were not allowed to get in, but they did a lot of damage to our Dream Center by throwing rocks and bricks and smashing our gate, etc. They have promised to come back and 'finish the job.' Our kids and staff are locked inside and have stayed that way with doors and windows shut for the past 3 days. It has been a time of desperately calling on the Lord in prayer. > > More police have come to offer protection. In Kalahandi, the police and some local sympathizers got to our dream center and gave our staff and kids about 3 minutes' notice to vacate. No one had time to even grab a change of clothes or any personal belonging. As they fled, the blood thirsty mob came to kill everyone in the building. We would have had a mass funeral there, but for His grace. In Phulbani, the mob came looking for Christian homes and missions. The local Hindu people, our neighbors turned them away by saying that there were no Christians in this area. So they left. We had favor. The same thing happened in Balasore. > > All our dream centers are under lock down with the kids and staff huddled inside and police outside. The fanatics are circling outside waiting for a chance to kill. Others were not so fortunate. In a nearby orphanage, the mob allowed the kids to leave and locked up a minister and a computer teacher in house and burned them to death. Many believers have been killed and hacked into pieces and left on the road, even women and children. > > At another orphanage run by another organization, the Director and his wife jumped on their motorbike and simply fled, leaving all the children and staff behind. Every one of our Good News India directors that I have spoken to said: 'We stay with our kids; we live together or die together, but we will never abandon what God has called us to do.' > > More than 5000 Christian families have had their homes burned or destroyed. They have fled into the jungles and are living in great fear waiting for the authorities to bring about peace. But so far, no peace is foreseen. This will continue for another 10 days, supposedly the 14 day mourning period for the slain Hindu priest. Many more Christians will die and their houses destroyed. Many more churches will be smashed down. > > The Federal Government is trying to restore order and perhaps things will calm down. We ask for your prayers. as we know only the Hand of God can calm this storm. None of us knows the meaning of persecution. But now our kids and staff know what that means. So many of our kids coming from Hindu backgrounds are confused and totally bewildered at what is happening around them. So many of their guardians have fled into the jungles and are unable to come and get them during these trying times. Through all this, I am more determined than ever to continue with our goal: the transformation of a community by transforming its children. Orissa will be saved, that is our heart's cry. If we can take these thousands of throw-away children and help them to become disciples of Jesus, they will transform an entire region. It is a long term goal, but it is strategic thinking in terms of the Great Commission. What can you do? First, please uphold all this in fervent prayer. Second, pass this e-mail on to as many friends as you can. We must get the word out and in crease our prayer base for this is spiritual warfare at its most basic meaning. We are literally fighting the devil in order to live for His Kingdom. The next 10 days are crucial. We pray for peace and calm to pervade across Orissa. > > Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please pass it on and help us to get as many people to partner with us on this cutting edge effort to fulfill His mandate: Go and make disciples of all nations.... Prayer works! > > Blessings, Chip & Sandy Wanner > > Col 2:2 Team Facilitators to YWAM frontlines

Divine Judgement from allah

Iran definately sees it's star rising. They feel that the day is soon coming for them to usher in the 12th Imam (the perfect human being) who will kill the jews and the infidels (everyone who isn't muslim) and set up a world made up totally of muslims.

Read the article here; http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5j8gRQ7KFKUky5EJhbeBq7W7cLdNw

Notice that they believe the current financial crisis wreaking havoc on the U.S. is "divine punishment" sent to us by allah.

It is interesting to note that many Christians believe that the U.S. is in decline because we have turned from God and have become lukewarm towards His Word. So we may, in fact, be under "divine judgement". I just don't believe that allah (satanic moon-god) is capable of handing out "divine judgement". Only the God of Israel can do that.

More Foreshadowing

We talk about Ezekiel 38-39 quite a bit, as do most prophecy watchers. The reason for it is that the war will happen within a few years of the rapture of the church. And everyday we are seeing the coalition mentioned in Ezekiel come closer to fruition. So we are watching it since we know the words of our Lord, "When you see all these things, know that I am at the very door."

Read the article here that talks about Russia, Iran and China supplying arms to Sudan. Also know that Sudan is one of the players in Ezekiel's war, as are Russia and Iran.
http://africa.reuters.com/top/news/usnJOE49E012.html

Make special note of this paragraph;

"That is consistent with information from Western diplomats, who have told Reuters that Tehran was selling Sudan arms in an attempt to cement ties and deepen military cooperation."

So the military cooperation between the players in Ezekiel's war continues to build....for the first time in human history...at the VERY same time that Isreal has been miraculously gathered back to the Holy Land! Certainly the Lord is close!

World Policy Forum

You simply can't make this stuff up!! Jesse Jackson was recently speaking at the FIRST World Policy Forum. Did you catch that?? The FIRST World Policy Forum...and it was held at a lakeside resort in France. Rev. Jackson sounds like he was in his typical ignorant form. (What is he a reverend of anyway?) Here is a blurb from the article;

"The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.
Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House."

If you want to see America fall, start cursing Israel and the "Zionists" and the Word of God will ring true, "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you."

Beer Parties in Iraq?

O.K...with all the doom a gloom going on in the world, there has to be a little good news somewhere, right? How about a story about a german guy in Iraq who is bringing some fun into the war-torn region? They just got done celebrating Oktoberfest in this one town, so the article below is pretty fun reading.

Read it here; http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jI0dnVKGXtFxm411Ve-d3fnlaZHwD93P0BPO0

However, since the article is published by the AP (notoriously liberal), see if you can find the barb that this journalist could not resist planting. Sorry, I just had to point it out. At the very end he says, "It's a strange song perhaps for a gathering of people in Iraq, where tens of thousands have died since the 2003 U.S. invasion."

Had I been writing the article, I might have said, "It's a strange song perhaps for a gathering of people in Iraq, where hundreds of thousands were butchered at the hands of Saddam and where thousands have died in recent years as they struggle for peace alongside the U.S. led invasion."

The World Will Miss our Heyday

We know that the U.S. is not mentioned anywhere in the end-times prophecies. So where will this country be? I believe that when Christ comes for his bride, so many U.S. citizens will disappear that the country will be transformed into a 3rd world country overnight. But even before that happens, signs of our decline are everywhere around us.

The WSJ had a great opinion article yesterday about the diminishing U.S. on the world scene. It will soon become obvious to everyone that the U.S. is borrowing money that it will not be able to repay. When that day comes it will be a sad day for the world, because America, with all our faults and mistakes, has still been the best thing this world has ever seen.

Biggest EVER!

As we recently mentioned, we like to look for phrases like, "Most rainfal ever!" or "Largest quake ever recorded!" or something else that let's us know that we are not living in a "normal" time.

Now the "ever" word is invading the financial markets. Last Friday, the Dow Industrial index had it's worst week EVER. It had 8 straight days of declines. But over the weekend, the world's bankers went to work and put together a package of smoke and mirrors...and wooahhlaa!...the stock market went up today by the biggest one day increase EVER!

Warning Signs

This article is talking about more warning signs that Israel is planning a strike on Iran. Read it here; http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article4926251.ece

If this happens, hang onto your hats because the fallout could cause an economic and political whirlwind that will make our carefree lives of the past 20 years seem like a different life.

Religious Jews Know

Many fundamental Christians know there is something big going on. Many muslims know we are at a turning point in history. Many religious Jews know that we are near the end of human history. Read this paragraph from the intro of a book titled; DAYS OF AWE...AWESOME DAYS, written by Rav Sutton.

"Our rabbis tell us that the entire historical drama of our planet is now approaching its finale. The people of Israel must play an active role in their “mission impossible” of bringing mankind to a higher stage of moral and spiritual evolution. Now, in our time, the world’s eyes are turning more and more to the claim of Israel through its ancient Torah: There is One God who created the world and man with a purpose. As history accelerates towards its final stages, it is crucial for Israel and mankind to understand that purpose and to consciously participate in its fulfillment."

So what in the world is going on? For Christians who know their bible, this is an exciting time because we know that our Lord Jesus will soon return in the sky and with a shout and a loud trumpet, will summon his bride (all believers) to His side. And we will be with Him forever.

Remember NOTHING has to happen for Christ to return and snatch up His church. But there are many things that need to happen before Christ RETURNS to earth (2nd advent) 7 yrs after the rapture. So if we are seeing the signs of His soon return to earths (2nd advent)...and we know that the rapture happens 7 yrs earlier...do the math! The rapture of the church must be getting very close! Are you ready to be transformed in the twinkling of an eye? Do your loved one's around you have a personal relationship with Christ? If they don't, the bible is VERY CLEAR that they will be left behind. Tell someone your testimony today and what Christ means to you. Invite them to accept the invitation that Christ has extended to all...before that invitation is withdrawn forever.

Last Gasps of a Dying Empire?

I know that when the 35W bridge collapsed, the islamic nations of the world played the clip on TV over and over. They used it as evidence that the U.S. is collapsing. Now that our financial markets are in turmoil, they see it as more evidence that we are a dying empire and the allah is about to turn the tides on their misfortune. Are we dying? Is there a reason the U.S. is not mentioned anywhere in end-times prophecy?
