Gay Bishop to Give Prayer

As plans for Obama-fest continue, it was announced that the openly gay Bishop Robinson is going to give the invocational prayer. It should come as no surprise to us what Bishop Robinson may plan on praying...and I seriously doubt it will be God-honoring. In fact the opposite may occur in that it may be God-angering.

Below are words from Jan Markell's email on this topic.

"Bishop Robinson said he had been reading inaugural prayers through history and was "horrified" at how "specifically and aggressively Christian they were." He states, "I am very clear that this will not be a Christian prayer, and I won't be quoting Scripture. The texts I hold as sacred are not sacred texts for all Americans, and I want all people to feel that this is their prayer."

"Robinson said he might address the prayer to "the god of our many understandings," language that he said he learned from the 12-Step program he attended for his alcohol addiction."

So I ask you, if some Americans are Satan worshipers and pray to Satan...will Mr Robinson's prayer also make them feel that his prayer is their prayer?

Iran Tells Hamas to Keep Fighting

This article in the NYT has a lot of information on the unfolding power struggle that is the middle east. When Gaze erupted the mullahs of Iran whipped up their youth into a frenzy asking for jihad fighters to head to Gaza to die fighting Jews. They reportedly got 70,000 Iranian volunteers. Then a few days later, the Ayatollah said the fighters couldn't go because the Iranians hands were tied by other Arab leaders.

So what's really going on? Iran is getting ready for the promised negotiations that Obama and Clinton have in store for the U.S. and Iran. They want to be able to have some good cards to lay on the table and show that their power is deep and wide.

Also understand that Iran NEEDS Hamas to keep fighting. If they surrender to Israel, that will be one less card that Iran has to lay on the Obama-poker table.

“With no doubt Hamas must continue resistance and it will definitely win,” Kazem Moussavi Bojnerdi wrote in Monday’s issue of Etemad Melli, a reformist Iranian newspaper. “The death toll that the Israelis are imposing on Hamas should not make them back down, and I am certain that they will not surrender. If they show any weakness, they will have to pay horrifying costs in the future.”

Not Feasible for Israel to Live

Israel's arch enemy, Iran, is ramping up the rhetoric about Israel not being allowed to live in the region. Remember, according to Islamic law, if land has EVER been under Islamic control, then that land is believed to be their rightful possession forever...and if they lose control of the land for a time, it is their duty to fight to get it back. And since the two mosque's are sitting on the Temple Mount...most muslims will never give up the fight to be in total control of Jerusalem and modern day Israel.

The fact that Israel has been able to thrive and build an exceedingly great army over the past 60 yrs is a huge disappointment to muslims. In their mind, it's a test of their god, allah vs. the Jewish/Christian God of Isaac and Jacob....and satanic confusion and power will push them on in an attempt to thwart God's plans for the Jews.

A New Ice Age?

Al Gore is not going to like this article. Afterall he just got a Nobel prize for sounding the alarm on global warming which was going to put the earth in a tizzy and have everyone from Florida to Maine losing their ocean-front property to rising sea levels.

It sure seems that science has all the answers. They claim to know where life came from, they have mastered the atom, they are almost able to clone anything they want...in fact they would have us believe that science is really all you need and that God is just some myth meant for an ignorant society and really has no place in modern thought.

If God does have a sense of humor and if he does have a habit of knocking down the proud...it would make sense if he decided to rebuild all the glaciers in a single year and leave the global warming crowd simply scratching their heads wondering what the heck just happened.

Time Run Out for Iran?

Let's connect a few dots....first off Iran supports Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and also the Syrian government. Those three places are kind of outposts for Iranian influence in the middle east. For the last few weeks Israel has been pummeling Hamas in Gaza and Iran is very aware that they may be losing one of their outposts. In the meantime Ahmadinejad in Iran is ramping up his "death to Israel" rhetoric at the very time they are spinning 6000 centrifuges in an attempt to master the nuclear bomb. Israel and the U.S. (including incoming Obama administration) have said that an Iranian nuke is "unacceptable".

So that about sets the modern stage...and a volatile stage it is. With Bush set to leave office next week and Israel not really sure where Obama may be headed with his Iranian diplomacy, the rumors have built for the last 9 months that Israel may strike Iran and try their best to disrupt their nuclear aspirations.

So with all this as a background, when an article appears yesterday that says, THE TIME CLOCK HAS RUN OUT; ISRAEL TO STRIKE IRAN...we should all sit up and pay attention.

Read the full article here and pray real hard for the peace of Jerusalem; http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/israel_iran_attack_plan/2009/01/12/170485.html?s=sp&promo_code=7787-1&CFID=2160142&CFTOKEN=55025094

Remember that the Arab street is really lathered up as they watch Hamas get whipped so if Israel does launch an adventure into Iran....the world is going to have a major cow. If you think anti-semitism is building now, just imagine what it will be if the bombs start falling on Iran.

And finally, what may be the outcome for world oil prices if Iran follows through on it's threat to blow up oil ports if attacked? You can bet that gasoline in the US is going to spike big time. Will our already shakey economy be able to handle $5-6 gallon gasoline?

Poisoning Minds in Bethlehem

As we know, the Arabs in Palestine have been brainwashing their kids and teaching them about hatred and murder for quite some time. I believe that if most people in Western civilizations would log onto the computer and look at what is being shown on children's programing in Gaza and the West Bank...they would demand that programing change...or development funds given to the palestinians would be with held. Why should the US send money to support the PA if the PA is going to use it to produce children's programing aimed at Jew hatred?

The truth about this garbage may finally be starting to go mainstream, so there is hope. US News has an editorial that talks about this poisoning of minds. In it he quotes some of what he saw on PA TV;

False history. Children being taught murder by rote is child abuse, a mental deformation more damaging than physical injury. Equally disgusting is the demonization of Jews based on a phony history of the Holocaust. Remember the Holocaust, in which the Nazis killed 6 million Jews? Well, take a look at the scene from a PA Fatah "educational video" in which children acting and singing about history recite: "They [Israel] are the ones who did the Holocaust, their knife cuts to the length and width of our flesh. They opened the ovens for us to bake human beings. ... When an oven stops burning, they light 100 [more]." A body called the National Committee for Defense of Children from the Holocaust organized an exhibit, one feature of which, according to al-Ayyam, one of the largest Palestinian newspapers, is "an oven and inside it small [Palestinian] children are being burned. The picture speaks for itself."

When you realize that many and/or most Palestinians believe these lies, you realize how elusive a peace deal is. You can preach "peace", but not until BOTH sides desire it, will it be achieved.

More 2012 Dire Predictions

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that I posted some interesting articles surrounding the year 2012. It seems lots of chatter is being mentioned of apocolyptic proportions that coincide with that year. The one being repeated the most is that the Mayan calendar ends in December 2012. That Mayan calender devised some thousands of years ago was accurate to within a few seconds and modern man has no idea how the Mayans could possibly have attained the knowledge to put it together.

Today, NASA is telling us that a solar storm is coming for the world and it's peak is going to be in the year 2012.

"The sun is currently near minimum on its 11-year activity cycle, the report explains, but is expected to produce solar storms that will increase in intensity and frequency as it approaches peak activity levels in 2012.
The NASA report warns that if the sun's activity over the next few years flares to the level of the May 1921 "superstorm" or the so-called Carrington event of 1859, a "perfect storm" that Space.com called "the most powerful onslaught of solar energy in recorded history," the U.S. may not be equipped to handle the damages.
"The impacts of severe space weather events," the report states, "can go beyond disruption of existing technical systems and lead to short-term, as well as to long-term collateral socioeconomic disruptions."
The report listed possible cascading effects of a major solar storm as "disruption of the transportation, communication, banking and finance systems, and government services; the breakdown of the distribution of potable water owing to pump failure, and the loss of perishable foods and medications because of a lack of refrigeration."
In addition, the researchers warn, "Emergency services would be strained, and command and control might be lost."

As we all know, the achilles heel of the 21st century technology is electricity. Without electricity, virtually NOTHING would work in the U.S. and or Western civilization. If the lights go out and the pumps can't pump drinking water...the whole country will slide into anarchy in a period of hours.

The bible tells us to "Consider the lillies and how they grow. They don't reap and they don't sow but God still cares for them." And so He will care for his children that are much more valuable than lillies.

I ask the question; If modern man has built their own Tower of Babel using technology as our attempt to be as wise as God...why wouldn't God disrupt our tower just like he disrupted the first tower?

Here Come the Edomites

If we think back to our bible history we can recall that Lot's daughters got their father drunk and had sex with him. So out of this gross sin begat the sons of Moab and Ammon. The tribes of these incestuous children were the ancient Moabites and Ammonites and arch enemies of ancient Israel. Today the capital of Jordan is Amman, named after the Ammonites.

Also remember that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew and Esau went on to live in the land down around the Dead Sea. They were referred to in biblical times as the Edomites. Today the descendants of these three tribes are still dwelling in what is modern day Jordan and also are the so-called Palestinians.

The article below tells how Jordan is now saying that Israel should honor the cease fire as spelled out by the UN and is also calling for the arabs to unify and put pressure on Israel for a Palestinian state.

When you read the post before this about the Palestinian who left Islam and says the a Palestinian state would NEVER work...you realize that only a supernatural force is going to bring peace to this region...and it will only be by God's allowance.

Reject Islam

The article below was written in November, but it's message is very pertinent for the struggle which is climaxing in Gaza today. It was written by a Palestinian ex-muslim who after years of brainwashing, finally woke up and realized that Islam is intolerant and breeds hatred. He now is doing his best to sound the alarm that Israel is the front line in the world's war against the tyranny of Islam.

His statements about creating a Palestinian state are very telling.

"Palestine" never existed and should never exist - and this is coming from me, an Arab classified as a "Palestinian." The creation of a Palestinian state would be the biggest threat to the existence of Israel and would not bring one day of peace to Israel. I know how my people think. Promoting such a state would be the equivalent of supporting the Nazis in their quest to destroy the Jews."

Hamas Speaks

The political leader of Hamas spoke in Damascus yesterday and as you read his words, it's incredibly obvious that there will never be a peace agreement between Gaza and Israel...until the anti-christ puts one in place that will last about 3 1/2 years.

Read some of his words:

"We will not accept a permanent truce, because it will take the right of resistance from the Palestinian people. The resistance is against occupation and military campaigns and therefore as long as occupation exists, resistance will too... "

So he tells us straight up...there will be no lasting peace because they are not looking for peace.

"And to the Arab countries, by God you abandoned and degraded us. But if you made mistakes in the past go ahead and correct your mistakes before it is to late… I call on Arab countries not to welcome any Israeli official in their capitals. The Arab leaders must coordinate and be aligned with the will of their people. Moreover, I call on Arab countries that have relations with Israel to tell the Israelis either that they should stop their war, or that the Arab countries will stop their relations."

So you can see the glimmer of a fracture happening in the Arab world that they may not be able to keep this palestinian lie under wraps for much longer.
