Worst Storm in 70 Years

It's kind of interesting that while Obama was in Copenhagen addressing the world on global warming....that the largest winter storm to hit Washington in 70 years was brewing...and came down right on Obama's house.

Coincidence??

Fallen Angels Freaking Out Russians

Uh-oh....it appears that "aliens" are really starting to get bold in their numerous appearances.

The latest is a huge UFO that hovered over the Kremlin in Russia for some hours.

A giant pyramid which appears to be a UFO hovering over the Kremlin has caused frenzied speculation in Russia that it is an alien spacecraft.

The object has been compared to an Imperial Cruiser in the Star Wars films and witnesses estimated it could be up to a mile wide.

Read and watch it here; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/ufo/6837200/UFO-pyramid-reported-over-Kremlin.html

Hey folks....did you notice that the shape of the UFO was a pyramid? Are the dots starting to connect?

Ever Recorded

A volcano has been erupting under the ocean in 4000 feet of water. In our attempt to bring you the latest "ever recorded" events....we humbly submit this one.

Scientists say the West Mata Volcano is the deepest erupting volcano ever recorded, and that their footage gives a unique insight into the way ocean islands and submarine volcanoes are born.

The world is certainly shaking....just as Jesus said it would at the end of the age.

The Case for Optimism

Lest you all think that I only post gloom and doom articles for planet earth, the economy and mankind's sin gone wild.....I have chosen to post an article from today's Wall Street Journal titled;
THE CASE FOR OPTIMISM ON THE ECONOMY.

You can read it here; http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704869304574596121329841680.html

So yes, there are folks out there who think things are going to get better and they are telling the rest of us to believe that things will get better....because they "always have".

Now check out who wrote this article;

Mr. Blinder, a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University and vice chairman of the Promontory Interfinancial Network, is a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

Ummmm.....can I ask a question please?? Why is it that the Federal Reserve is the only ones who are telling us to be optimistic and that things will get better...and at the very same time they are fighting with all they can muster to keep anyone from auditing their books?

Read that story here; http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126091294891892399.html

Didn't Bernie Madoff tell his clients right before the FBI ran in his front door that "things are going to get better?"

Copenhagen Collapse

Things don't look to be going well at the Copenhagen Climate Summit.

This was where the world was going to come together and agree that man is wrecking the weather and if we don't do something really soon....we are all going to freeze or melt or drought or flood.

So here we are on planet earth spinning around at 1000 mph, orbiting a sun that is too large to comprehend and meanwhile the entire solar system is flying through the Milky Way galaxy and dragging all of us along with it as our solar system orbits some huge, unknown black hole in the middle of the galaxy.....and the most educated men on our planet think that if only we could all start driving hybrid cars and stop cows from farting....we could influence the weather.

It is the height of arrogance, pride and stupidity all rolled up into one giant goofball.

In today's Wall Street Journal there is a great article titled, Climate Change is Nature's Way. You can read it here; http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748704541004574599981936018834.html

I have said all along to many that, it is fortunate for all of us Minnesotans that the earth has in fact warmed in these last 10,000 years...otherwise all of our homes would be sitting underneath a glacier that was 5000 feet thick.

This gentleman seems to be saying much of the same.

But will these facts deter the Copenhagen Crew from voting on some $27 Trillion dollar, global warming nightmare?....let's hope so.

Debt Ceiling Reached

The Federal Government has a debt limit that is set by Congress. It's supposed to be some kind of self-imposed handcuffs that keeps the Federal Government from getting out of control on its own spending.

But when they get to the limit.....Congress just votes that the limit be increased.

Great handcuffs.

This quote is the one that got my attention;
A senior Treasury official told CBS News that the department has some "extraordinary accounting tools" it can use to give the government breathing room in the range of $150-billion when the Debt exceeds the Debt Ceiling.

Hey....didn't Bernie Madoff and Tom Petters have some "extraordinary accounting tools" too??

At Risk Countries

Most haven't heard it yet, but Greece and other countries could be on the verge of insolvency....and it could spread like the flu virus.

Rising mortgage defaults and credit card delinquencies put many banks on the brink of bankruptcy in 2008, sending the global economy into a tailspin. But sovereign debt defaults are potentially even more catastrophic as they can lead to geopolitical instability, societal unrest and even war. And there will also be economic ramifications for investors worldwide, putting America’s (and the globe’s) fragile recovery at great risk.

Who are some of these countries?? Greece, Spain, Ecuador, Lebanon, Pakistan, Mexico are in the list.

Could this be the start of massive unraveling which could ultimately unravel the USA and it's paper money scheme?

Only God knows for sure.

Least Understood Force

Last week I spoke to a group about the U.S. money system. As I have with other groups, I explained the relationship between the U.S. federal government, the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

When you get to the part where you explain that the Federal Reserve is actually "buying" Treasury Bills and Bonds from the Treasury auctions, you get the questioning look in people's faces.....and then someone usually asks it....."buying them with what?"

It's usually at that realization that a lot of us begin to understand the Ponzi scheme that has become the U.S. government's financial system. It's built on faith and paper....and when the faith vanishes....the paper will be worthless to us and worthless to the rest of the world.

In a strange coincidence, today's headline is trumpeting that Time Magazine has named it's "Person of the Year", .....and the title is going to Ben Bernanke....the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Now here is the eerie quote from the article;

Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was named “Person of the Year” by Time magazine today for leading the “most-powerful, least-understood government force shaping our lives,” Managing Editor Richard Stengel said.

Did you catch that?? No one understands the Federal Reserve.....but we just gotta keep having faith that this powerful, unknowable force....will continue to pull some levers in some basement someplace....and keep our paper money system going.

As George Michael would sing, "You gotta have faith, faith faith....baby!!!"

Time Magazine went on to say this about Bernanke;

“He was the great scholar of the Depression, and he saw what looked like another depression coming and he decided he would do whatever it takes to forestall that,” Stengel said. “And I think he did. It could have been a lot worse; there were things he could have done better. One of his responsibilities is to put full employment in society and he hasn’t really stepped up on that. But in terms of influence and how the economy went this year, Bernanke was the guy.”

Did you notice he used the word "forestall" and not "avoid". If you look up those words in Webster's you will notice that there is a difference....and "forestall" means that you put the depression off for the moment....but it is still on the horizon.

The Bible tells us that a Depression is soon coming....unlike anyone has EVER seen on planet earth. People will starve because their money simply won't work to buy any food. And when you put the famines, drought and pestilence on top of that collapsed monetary system....it goes a long way in explaining the words of Christ;

"For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive....." Matthew 24:21-22

Lord, save us from the TIME OF TRIAL and deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever, Amen.

Montana, Guns and Gold

Today in the Star Tribune was an article that seriously got my attention.

Many of you have heard us talk about the financial wheels of the U.S. economy totally coming off the bus. Then today I read this;

Governments around the world have propped up their failing financial institutions with borrowed money. We used to have overleveraged banks; we replaced them with overleveraged governments.

Panics start small and spread. If Greece goes down, almost every Western government will be at risk.

Syracuse University economist Len Burman, the modest and sober budget expert who was a top official in President Bill Clinton's Treasury Department, told the Washington Post that according to a model he has developed to study the current situation, a "catastrophic budget failure" might happen.

Burman added, "I try not to get too depressed, because if I really thought it was going to play out the way this model works, I would just move to a cabin in Montana and stockpile gold and guns."

Read it here; http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentary/79262632.html?elr=KArksc8P:Pc:U0ckkD:aEyKUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU

Did you catch that folks?? A ex-top official of the U.S. Treasury has a model that is telling him that he should consider stockpiling gold and guns!! But he desperately does not want to believe his own model!!

Author Upton Sinclair said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

I am quickly coming to the conclusion that the top Wall Street minds that I have the privilege of talking to....simply refuse to believe that the USA could topple in on itself because it has created a bogus-paper-money-system which is built on the erroneous idea that money can simply be printed to purchase anything and everything that they want.

Lord, forgive us for all we have squandered. You clearly told us to seek the Kingdom first but we have fallen headlong into a Satanic trap of seeking after the pleasures of this dark and fallen world.

Israeli Officials Fear Arrest

We have now officially entered a new chapter in world lunacy.

Tzipi Livni's refusal to enter Britain because she fears arrest on war crimes charges increases the number of Israeli ministers and ex-ministers who fear legal action...

Do we all understand this?? The former Prime minister of Israel is afraid to travel to the U.S.'s closest ally because she oversaw the war that Israel waged on Hamas in Gaza last January.

Hamas launched thousands of missiles aimed at Israeli citizens and when Israel went in to crush Hamas....the world is ready to call their actions "war crimes."

Jesus warned the Jews that in the last days hatred directed at them would explode. The Bible is clear that 2/3 of the world's Jews will die in the coming Holocaust carried out around the time of the Tribulation....and if Christ himself didn't cut those days short....no flesh would survive.

Friends, we are clearly seeing the beginning of the very things Jesus spoke of.

Let's lift up our heads for our redemption is nigh!!

Brain Implants

Revelation 13:16-17 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

The headline in a computer magazine says this;
Intel: Chips in brains will control computers by 2020

And this paragraph is certainly interesting;

The scientists say the plan is not a scene from a sci-fi movie -- Big Brother won't be planting chips in your brain against your will. Researchers expect that consumers will want the freedom they will gain by using the implant.

Did you catch that? Many will actually request this chip. Also notice that they were quick to point out that Big Brother won't force you to do it.....for today anyway...but a day is soon coming when they will force you to take some sort of mark.

Friends, we hope all are awake to the fact that we are the first generation in human history that have the technology to make possible all the unfulfilled prophesies of Daniel, Revelation, Ezekiel and Isaiah.

When you combine this fact with the 44 other signs that are beginning to happen....it becomes hard to deny that fact that God is telling us to watch closely for the return of His son.

"When you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28).

Nuclear Trigger

Now brace yourselves for this shocking revelation.....It appears that IRAN has been working on a nuclear bomb!!

And maybe even a bigger blow to the the, "we can work it out if we talk enough" crowd....this recently revealed info may prove that IRAN has been, and is, lying to everyone!!

The Times claimed that foreign intelligence agencies dated the documents to early 2007 -- four years after Tehran was thought to have suspended its weapons programme.

The technical document describes the use of uranium deuteride -- a neutron source, said the newspaper.

Uranium deuteride is thought to have no possible civilian or military use other than in a nuclear weapon.

In the view of experts contacted by the newspaper, Iran's work in this field "has no possible civilian application. It makes sense only for a programme to develop a nuclear weapon," the Times said.

The article goes on to say that if these documents are true....this could be the smoking gun that proves that there is no possible diplomatic solution.

Mark Fitzpatrick of the International Institute for Strategic Studies think-tank, told the Times: "The most shattering conclusion is that, if this was an effort that began in 2007, it could be a casus belli.

"If Iran is working on weapons, it means there is no diplomatic solution.

"Is this the smoking gun? That's the question people should be asking. It looks like the smoking gun. This is smoking uranium."

Read it here; http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h0r1rgH9N3rdJ_Lw3Jyg-1_YQM8g

So what would the world do if this is the smoking gun? Probably nothing except talk more because as the polls are discovering...Europe has "no stomach" for violence or bloodshed.

And we all know that the newly crowned Nobel Peace Prize winner (Obama) certainly couldn't order a massive military strike on Iran or he would have to surrender his crown.

Plus, let's not forget that the U.S. is on the brink of bankruptcy and truly has no money to open up another war front in Iran.

But please remember that Iran is going through serious internal protests right now and it may be that the people could be about to strike a serious blow to the rulers of Iran.

If this does happen it could either make the rulers forget about their nuke-bomb aspirations.....or it could shove them into full scale development of the nuke-bomb in a last-ditch, desperate attempt to hang onto power.

Pray for the Iranian people that they would continue to come to Christ in large numbers. The injection of the Holy Spirit that is happening in Iran continues to build as each new believer gets indwelt by God. In which case, Satan's hold on that country continues to decline.

Digging Up Dead People

Militant Islam seems to be on a roll.

They were the first to blow themselves up for Jihad, they were the first to blow up babies by hiding explosives in their strollers, they were the first to recruit the mentally insane so they could blow them up in marketplaces, and they also are the first to target schools where they know they can kill lots of little kids.

Do doubt, man is depraved....but no doubt,....these events are the work of Satan himself.

Now today, we have more evidence that militant Islam is doing the work of their father....the devil.

Every three minutes a Christian is being tortured in the Muslim world, and in 2009 more than 165,000 Christians will have been killed because of their faith, most of them in Muslim countries, according to a human rights organization that is visiting Israel starting Sunday.

Majed El Shafie, who will head a delegation of human rights activists, members of parliament from Canada and religious personalities at the Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem.
"Hamas digs up the bodies of Christians from Christian burial sites in the Gaza Strip claiming that they pollute the earth," said Reverend Majed El Shafie, President of One Free World International (OFWI), who will head a delegation of human rights activists, members of parliament from Canada and religious personalities.

Remember friends, the signature of Satan is first off hatred of the Jews and secondly hatred of Christians.
