War Against the Jews

We watch for hatred of the Jews to continue building. This article, which quotes a Hungarian right-wing group, shows how the lies fed to disgruntled people continues to cook a dangerous stew.

"Given our current situation, anti-Semitism is not just our right, but it is the duty of every Hungarian homeland lover, and we must prepare for armed battle against the Jews."

"A crumbling country, torn apart by Hungarian-Gypsy civil war, could easily be claimed by the rich Jews," the article went on to say. "That is why we should expect a Hungarian-Gypsy civil war, fomented by Jews as they rub their hands together with pleasure."

Time is Running Out

We have noticed (as have our enemies) that Obama and team keep moving the line in the sand where it concerns Iran and their illegal nuclear activity.

Now there is a new line drawn.....it's December 31, 2009.

"Time is running out. That deadline is the end of the year," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters in a news briefing.

I wonder what will happen then? I have a funny image in my head of Obama calling Ahmadinejad on January 1 and saying, "That's it!! We are cancelling that shipment of dates and fruits we ordered from you...and until you destroy your illegal nuclear activity....we won't buy one more fruitcake from you!! Goodbye sir!!!"

Putin Will Return

When Putin stepped down as Russian president...everyone knew his hand picked replacement (Medvedev) was only a temporary maneuver for Putin to retain power until he could come back.

As I recall, Putin changed the constitutional rules before he left office that would give him the chance to come back and serve more terms.

And now he has had some journalists killed, imprisoned some capitalists, killed their attorneys, and has seized control of some of the most profitable commodities companies. Hmmmm.....sounds like classic signs of how a dictator comes to power.

Also remember all the buzz that is surrounding the year 2012 as you read this headline;
Putin: Will consider running for president in 2012

Then read these next paragraphs very carefully;

Delving into foreign policy issues, Putin sharply admonishing the United States for keeping "anachronistic" Cold War-era trade restrictions imposed to penalize the Soviet Union for its refusal to allow free emigration of the Jews.

"The Soviet Union is gone, but they (restrictions) have remained," he said.
Putin also accused the United States of hampering Russia's accession into the World Trade Organization.

"Accession into the WTO remains our strategic goal, but some nations, including the United States, are impeding Russia's WTO bid," he said.

It's pretty interesting that the U.S. imposed trade sanctions on Russia for their refusal to let the Jews return to Israel. This is just more evidence that shows the U.S. may have been put on earth by God to bless the Jews, incubate and defend the nation of Israel and also aid in the fulfilment of the scattered Jews from around the world returning to the Holy Land.

March 16, 2010

This could be the date when the 3rd Temple will start being built. According to who??...according to centuries old rabbinical prophesies.

According to a centuries-old rabbinical prophecy that appears to be coming true, on March 16, 2010, Israel will begin construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

During the 18th century, the Vilna Gaon, a respected rabbinical authority, prophesied that the Hurva Synagoge in Jerusalem, which was built during his day, would be destroyed and rebuilt twice, and that when the Hurva was completed for the third time, construction on the Third Temple would begin.

The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed shortly after its initial construction when Muslims demanding the return of loans tore it down. The synagogue was rebuilt a hundred years later and became the most important Jewish house of worship in the Holy Land, only be blown to pieces by Jordanian troops during Israel's 1948 War of Independence.

In 2001, Israel finally decided to rebuild the landmark, which today stands in the center of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's Old City. The building is scheduled to be completed and the Hurva Synagogue dedicated for the third time on March 15 of next year.

I have absolutely NO IDEA if this has any chance of coming true....as of course no dates are anywhere in the Bible that you and I read in regards to Temple construction.

However, we will need to mark March of 2010 in our calendars and check on this ancient Jewish prophecy.

One thing for sure....if it does come true, we REALLY will be praying for Jesus to come and take us home....because the Antichrist and the Tribulation will not be far behind the building of the 3rd Temple.

10 States Face Bankruptcy

The following article should come as no surprise. As the Federal Government runs out of cash, they slice their state-aid budget....so the states start running out of money and they pass it down to the counties, cities and townships. It seems every one wants to pass the buck.

Ten states are facing imminent bankruptcy, confounding any possibility of economic recovery as tax revenues continue to decline and unemployment increases nationwide, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports.

Those states in fiscal peril include California, Arizona, Rhode Island, Michigan, Oregon, Nevada, Florida, New Jersey, Illinois and Wisconsin.

The 10 states, accounting for approximately one-third of the U.S. population, face declines in tax revenue as unemployment now officially tops 10 percent and budget gaps that mean higher taxes loom in the future. State government officials have been laid off, key social services including prisons and police are strained and schools have been closed.

It's interesting to note that the biggest boom states of CA, FL, AZ and Nevada are in the list of the biggest bust states. Funny how that goes. We all know the rule, "The higher they go...the further they fall."

It is my understanding that God will continue to rip away our false idols until we repent and seek His face....only then will we have a chance that He will heal our land.

As of today with shootings, porn, homosexual perversion, greed, gluttony, and a TOTAL LACK OF FEAR of our Creator....I'm not holding my breath that much repentance is on the near horizon.

Antichrist Chatter

As most of you know, I haven't spent a whole lot of time trying to figure out who the Antichrist is....although I do believe he is currently on planet earth.

Apostle Paul is very clear that the Antichrist won't be revealed until "the restrainer" is removed. (2 Thessalonians) Clearly, Paul is referring to the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers being withdrawn from planet earth....that means the Rapture of the church.

So to me that means that only the Tribulation saints will know for sure who the Antichrist is....because all of us current believers will have already left the planet when he is finally revealed.

With that disclaimer being stated...I am going to say a few words about this dude. First off, Daniel says that he will come from the people who destroyed the 2nd Temple. History tells us that was the Roman army who did that....so lots of folks believe he needs to come from a revived Roman empire...and be the leader of it.

So for years....prophecy watchers have kept a keen eye on the United Nations as being the precursor to the revived Roman empire and have watched closely for some President to emerge from the UN that might end up being "the guy".

With that being said, note this article about the first President elected to the UN;
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/6616399/Herman-Van-Rompuy-quirky-exterior-conceals-sharp-operator.html

In reality, and behind his harmless, eccentric and literary persona, Mr Van Rompuy, 62, is a sharp political operator who is not above using dirty tricks to stymie his opponents.

Europe's leaders may find to their cost that the man they chose to chair their EU summits possesses dark arts that will be turned against anyone, such as an incoming Conservative prime minister, who challenges the Brussels consensus.

Re read those paragraphs a few times and see if it doesn't make you think of the Antichrist....especially the eerie line that says he "possesses dark arts."

But before you get all convinced that this is "the guy"....let me tell you that Isaiah referred to "the guy" as "the Assyrian"....which would mean he would hail from the Syria-Iraq area. This would make a lot of sense since Babylon is in Iraq and is mentioned a ton in last days prophecies.

But let me also mention that author Joel Richardson has done some serious digging into who destroyed the 2nd Temple and has come to the conclusion that it was ARAB enlistees who were working for the Roman army....that they were, in fact, Arabs from Palestine who actually pried the Temple stones apart and destroyed it all.

And finally...I have talked to some pretty smart folks who are convinced that the Antichrist is Barack Obama.

Only time will tell....and our great hope for those of us awaiting the Rapture is....that time will NEVER tell us. We will be long gone!!

China May Not be Helpful

In adult ed last Sunday, we talked about how China could end up being a thorn in America's side when it comes to negotiating with our enemies.

We hypothesized what it might look like if China invaded Taiwan and we were forced into a military confrontation with them. "Hey Mr. China? Could we borrow some more money from you so that we can afford to defend Taiwan with our military?"

That might not play real well.

Today in the headlines, it appears that China might be on the road to making life difficult for us in regards to Iran.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang, meanwhile, said Tuesday that more dialogue, not sanctions, was needed to resolve the issue of Iran's nuclear program. His words came after Teheran announced Sunday that it plans to build 10 more uranium enrichment facilities.

Did you catch that? After Iran absolutely stuck their illegal nuclear ambitions right in everyone's face....China says that we just need to continue talking to them. How is The West ever going to play hardball with I'm-a-whack-job in Iran, if China refuses to help us out? They have a seat on the UN security council and have veto power.

Remember what Proverbs tells us, "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."

Let's see....I think we owe about $1 Trillion to China and if you add up the $10 Trillion we owe around the world plus the unfunded liabilities of $trillions in Social Security promises and other governmental obligations....it's pretty obvious that we will soon be poor. Certainly our days of being "rich" are numbered.

Defiant Iran

The headlines on the front page of the Wall Street Journal today trumpet;
DEFIANT IRAN BEEFS UP NUCLEAR PLANS

Iran announced a massive expansion of its nuclear program on Sunday and threatened to pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, moves that would dramatically escalate the country's standoff with the international community if Tehran follows through.

A majority of Iranian lawmakers also asked the government to draw up a plan to end cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear watchdog. Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran's parliament and a former nuclear negotiator, warned Iran could pull out of the treaty that forbids it from developing nuclear weapons.

Poor Mr. Obama....he made such a nice speech about "unclenching fists so we could extend a hand". Wow....that was just beautiful. And here that nasty Ahmadinejad just won't play nice in the sandbox!!

Also please note that not only is Iran going to stick a finger in the entire world's eye and go ahead with nuclear ambitions....they also are saying they may withdraw from the IAEA and pull out of the treaty that forbids them from developing nukes.

The time clock is ticking for Israel to go into Iran and break both their arms. Iran is taunting them and Israel must be well aware that if they don't respond...the taunts will turn into action....and one well placed nuke would be the end of Israel.

As Bible readers, we know that Israel will NOT be washed off the map because the Bible is clear that once they are brought back as a nation....they will exist as a nation until Christ returns.

But the Israelis don't know that part of the story.

Israel's Energy Discovery

Yesterday in adult ed, we talked about how something about Israel is in the Wall Street Journal almost every single day....just like the Bible said would happen in the Last Days.

Today is no different.

The article posted below is talking about the amazing discovery of natural gas that Israel found earlier this year.

HERZLIYA, Israel -- Two natural-gas fields in Israel's Mediterranean waters were found in January to contain enough resources to meet Israel's energy needs for 20 years -- a huge find after more than half a century of lackluster carbon exploration here.

Read it here; http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125955102831969055.html

Hmmmm....20 years of energy needs.....I wonder if that should easily take them through the entire Tribulation without having to buy energy from other countries who hate them?

Pigs Are Flying!

Most of us who are familiar with ex UN ambassador John Bolton, know that the media doesn't like him much. Why? Because he was a Bush appointee, for one...and also because he was so full of mistrust and always seemed to doubt what foreign leaders were saying....caring instead to look closely at what they were doing. And for this reason he has been sounding the alarm on Iranian nuclear ambitions...and lies....from the very begining.

When Obama was elected, all this global mistrust, finger pointing and name calling was supposed to come to an abrupt end. It was going to be a new era where peace, love and cooperation were the foundations on which a better planet were going to be built. John Bolton, and his ilk, would be found in the ash heaps of history....as their mistrust would be proven unacceptable in the Obama era.

With that as a backdrop, this headline from a few days ago is quite amazing; (cue the flying pigs!!)
John Bolton Was Right After All

When the Obama Administration proclaimed victory on October 1st by announcing that a break-through had been reached in Geneva and that Iran had committed to shipping 2,600 pounds of fuel to Russia, expert Iran watchers were appropriately cynical.

Bolton cautioned, yet again, that the Iranians had used some of the same diplomatic nuances they had been using for years to successfully buy more time to continue enriching uranium and fake cooperation with the international community.

Usually, the Europeans were the first to take the bait but this time the Obama Administration got hooked first. Bolton, however, was the first to stand up and call the Iranian pronouncement a sham - and he did it within hours of the announcement.

And this paragraph is especially damming of Obama by a CBS reporter;

Where is the Obama Administration's pressure on Iran to stop enriching uranium? Sadly, the Americans are getting hoodwinked by Iran and Europe is happy that they don't have to vote for more sanctions or enforce the ones that are in place now. While the President gives up our missile shield to Russia, relaxes financial restrictions on Cuba, allows North Korea to violate their signed agreements and breaks campaign promises on a Sudan no-fly zone, the world applauds the most popular American President in history.

As we have been saying....the world is growing more dangerous every single day as Obama displays all the weaknesses of the USA and The West....and clearly tells all of our enemies that we have no stomach (or money) to use our military to enforce anything.
