Iran "Warns" Israel

As violence continues to escalate between militants in Gaza and Israel....our favorite Iranian has something to say;

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday warned against an alleged Israeli plan to launch a new military offensive against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Iran's English-language satellite channel Press TV reported.

In his speech at the inauguration of the Middle East's biggest iron ore pellet factory in the southern Iranian city of Sirjan, Ahmadinejad condemned Israel's "continued crimes" in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon, stressing that Israel "is the sole obstacle to the establishment of peace and security in the region."

He also said Israel has "clearly been given carte blanche by Western powers to commit whatever crime it pleases and violate whatever law it deems necessary."

Ahmadinejad's remarks came only one day after Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom warned Hamas that patience in the Jewish state was wearing thin and threatened to launch a fresh military offensive in Gaza.

Now try to imagine this "warning" spoken of by Ahmadinejad if Iran had successfully tested a nuclear missile? Now try to imagine that you live in tiny Israel that would be totally annihilated by one nuclear warhead?

When you realize that the Jews have said, "Never Again!" in regards to the Holocaust....you understand why they have no choice but to attempt to deny Iran nuclear weapons.

Communist Darkness Falling on USA

Check this out;

In what is being described as one of the most astounding power grabs in modern history by newspaper headlines around the World, President Obama has succeeded in his audacious plan to remake America into a full fledged godless communist empire barely one year into his term with the enactment into law by the US Congress of his mammoth health care plan innocuously named H.R. 3200-Americas Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 and described by one Kremlin legal expert as having “nothing at all to do with health, but everything to do with control.”

To fully grasp the full and grim implications of Obama’s power grab over the American people with his Nationalization of the United States entire health care industry and student loan programme accomplished with the passing of this new law, it must be remembered that since taking office on January 20, 2009 he has also taken over their automobile, mortgage, and banking industries too with the Internet said being next “in his sights”.

More insidious than these takeovers that have been destroying America’s once vibrant capitalistic system is the new regime these once free peoples are now destined to live under, and where under their new health care law will require all of them to carry a National ID card (page 58) and allow their government unlimited access to all of their bank accounts and personal records (page 159).

And in a chilling instance of the ancient prophecies for these time of “
The Mark of the Beast” becoming reality, the National ID card all of the American people will now be required to possess (regardless of age) is to be combined with their new government ID card under their upcoming new immigration laws allowing them to work and is biometrically designed to “read” the backs of their hands.

See it here; http://www.eutimes.net/2010/03/world-mourns-as-communist-darkness-falls-upon-america/

Our previous post talked about national ID cards in India....but remember....it will be coming here. And the Obama administration has done an awful lot, in 15 months, to bring us closer to this day.

Hat tip to Mick L.

Mark of the Beast

We continue to watch developments and foreshadowing of what Revelation 13:16 tells us is coming;

"He (Antichrist) 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."

Today we read this coming out of India;

India is launching a new census in which every person aged over 15 will be photographed and fingerprinted to create a biometric national database.

The government will then use the information to issue identity cards.

Officials will spend a year classifying India's population of around 1.2 billion people according to gender, religion, occupation and education.


See it here; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8598159.stm

This is simply amazing. The government will classify people based on religion, occupation and education. Can you see a time coming when these folks won't be allowed to go anywhere, or buy anything without producing their identity cards?

We are the only generation that has lived in a technological age that makes this "mark of the beast" prophecy possible.

Ever since the Apostle John wrote down this prophecy, biblical scholars have been making up ideas of what this might mean....or more than likely they have just been skipping the book of Revelation because it was just so impossible and confusing that no one could understand it.

Now today, the government of India will manage 1.2 billion citizens using an Apple laptop computer bought at Walmart for under $700.

Praise the Lord that all people indwelt with the Holy Spirit will not have to endure this "mark of the beast". We will be sitting out this whole part of prophecy safely in the arms of our Lord...because the rapture of the church will have already happened.

Thank you Jesus!

Heating Up

It's being reported that Israel has started hitting Gaza with military strikes. I would expect this to continue escalating.

Israeli planes have carried out 13 air strikes on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources have told the BBC.

Four of the strikes took place near the town of Khan Younis, where two Israeli soldiers were killed in clashes with Palestinian fighters last week.


"Israel will not tolerate terroristic activity inside Gaza that threatens Israeli citizens," the Israeli military said in a statement released to the BBC.

Palestinian news agencies reported that Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets over parts of Gaza on Thursday warning residents of retaliation for last Friday's killings of the soldiers in Khan Younis.


See it here; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8600285.stm

I would also expect the world will view this action as "harsh" and Israel will continue to be further isolated.....as God gets ready to personally handle His client nation....and defend her against all comers.

Census

Has everyone filled out their U.S. census?

We received ours a few weeks ago and I was surprised to see that not only does it ask how many people live in your house but it also asks whether you own your home.

If that isn't quite personal enough...they go on to ask if you have a mortgage on it or if you own it outright.

Of course they also want every one's birthday, Social security number and also what your race is.

I thought the U.S. Constitution says the government will be allowed to count the people....not ask whether you own your home outright.

It sure seems like strange things are coming upon us like a flood.

Undersea Volcano

Scientists are reporting a huge underwater volcano that could erupt at any time...and if it does it could cause enough violence to destroy southern Italy.

The walls of the largest underwater volcano in Europe could collapse, releasing thousands of tons of magma, which would trigger a tsunami that would likely inundate southern Italy, experts at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology told CNN.

The Marsili volcano, which has an active magma chamber, also has areas losing magnetism and a large amount of weak and permeable rocks supporting it, which researchers said means that the walls could essentially crumble at any time with the right seismic activity.

And if that happens – the result could be catastrophic.

See it here; http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/30/experts-undersea-volcano-may-collapse-cause-tsunami/

It would appear that the frequency of natural disasters are increasing exponentially. I wonder who has the money to rebuild what floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes, etc..... are destroying?

I heard the USA just committed $3.5 billion to help rebuild Haiti. That's cool....but I wonder who will loan us the money so that we can give it to Haiti?

We should continue to pray that millions of people will come to salvation because of the fear of what is coming.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," says God.

Christian Militia

The media is reporting that some members of a "Christian" militia have been arrested.

They were preparing for battle with the Antichrist.

Nine alleged members of a Christian militia group that was girding for battle with the Antichrist were charged Monday with plotting to kill a police officer and slaughter scores more by bombing the funeral - all in hopes of touching off an uprising against the U.S. government.

Seven men and one woman believed to be part of the Michigan-based Hutaree were arrested over the weekend in raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, and another was still being sought. Authorities blocked off a rural area Monday evening about 30 miles from the site of Saturday's raid near Adrian but wouldn't say who they were searching for or whether the search was related to the weekend raids.

And here is the potential reason that these folks went so wrong;

Hutaree says on its Web site its name means "Christian warrior" and describes the word as part of a secret language that few are privileged to know. The group quotes several Bible passages and declares: "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. ... Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment."

See it here; http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100329/D9EOISE80.html

Can anyone find me a passage in the Bible where Jesus says we are supposed to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment??

What we can find in 2Thessalonians 2:5-8 is that the Antichrist will not be revealed until the restrainer (Holy Spirit) is withdrawn. Since the Holy Spirit is indwelling in all Christ followers on earth....clearly this means that only those people left behind will actually know who the Antichrist actually is.

So these folks were led astray by adding some words to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Not good.

Quit Praying for Obama

We have had numerous people tell us that it is getting very difficult to pray for Obama.

If you are one of those...you may have company.

A national ministry that organizes prayer for the president says it's hearing from members who have quit praying for President Barack Obama.

His letter says the ministry has been "hit hard because some of our members are deeply distraught with our country's leaders." Otto writes that members "tell us that they are discouraged, disappointed, and some have admitted they have stopped praying for the president and our nation."

Otto says prayer is needed more than ever with issues like the healthcare vote dividing Americans, and with the nation's leaders casting aside what he calls "biblical principles."

Read it here; http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=952526

Remember, we don't have to pray for Obama to accomplish all he desires...but we can pray for his safety and we can also pray that God's will would be accomplished in his life.

Unnerving Investors

We have wrote much in the past about the huge amount of money that the Federal government is borrowing. Just to remind you, this is done by the Treasury auctioning off IOU's. Investors and other governments who want to collect interest from the U.S. government show up at the auction and buy these IOU's.

But what happens if the Treasury has too many auctions? What happens if few investors show up at the auction?

Today in the paper, USA TODAY they had an article that gives us pause to wonder if we may be about to find out.

Many managers say the Treasury’s increased borrowing is pushing rates up. “It’s mainly the amount of supply and the market’s ability to absorb it,” says Robert Auwaerter, head of fixed income at Vanguard, based in Valley Forge, Pa.

Treasury investors had become too complacent, assuming that all auctions would go smoothly, and were shocked when last week’s didn’t, says Robert Gahagan, senior portfolio manager at the American Century funds in Kansas City, Mo. “It was like someone tapped the fish bowl and all the fish went to the other side.”

The sheer number of auctions may be unnerving investors, too. The Treasury used to auction three-year, 10-year and 30-year Treasury securities every three months. Now the auctions are every month because of Treasury’s big borrowing needs. “You just can’t get away from these auctions,” Auwaerter says.

See it here; http://www.jaxobserver.com/2010/03/29/treasury-yields-rise-on-lower-demand/

It's very simple to understand that if investor's appetites have fallen for Treasuries....the Treasury will have to start offering higher interest rates to "convince" people to buy them.

It's also very simple to understand that if the U.S. government can barely make the payments currently on some $trillions of dollars of debt.....how well do you think they will manage if interest rates double....or triple...or quadruple?

It easy to understand that if this situation happens....the U.S. government will need to print copious amounts of money to pay back investors. If they do, it could spell a catastrophic fall for the U.S. dollar.

After all, what good is a bunch of paper that says it's worth $1 million dollars.....if no one will take it in trade for a loaf of bread?

Can you open up a Monopoly game and use that money for anything?

Giants




The Bible tells us in Genesis 6 that before the flood of Noah, fallen angels were having sex with women and the resulting hybrids were giants called "Nephilim".
The Bible goes on to say that these Nephilim were also on the earth after the flood....which means that Satan continued with his supernatural plan even after the waters had receded.
Today, I received an email from a distant relative that had six pictures attached. Two of them I have posted above. The email claims that these giant skeletons were discovered in Greece.
Remember, Greek mythology also consists of beings, like Hercules, who had a human mother and a "god" for a father. Followers of Christ would immediately understand that this "god" was really a fallen angel...and part of a Satanic plan to corrupt the human race.
Many on earth today don't believe the Bible is true. I believe it is.
Even more interesting is that Jesus said that in the Last days it will be....as it was in the days of Noah. Could this mean that in the Last days, Satan will be playing with human DNA again?
Could this be connected to the reports of "alien abductions" that have been reported from all around the earth....when "aliens" have reportedly taken women and men and harvested their eggs and semen...in an attempt to make "strange flesh"?
Let's be sober...and watch.

Expect a Nuclear Iran

It's funny that team Obama and the world seem incensed over Israel's plan to build houses in Jerusalem....but seem un-incensed over Iran's continuing march toward nuclear weapons.

In the article below, John Bolton speaks;

“I very much worry the Obama administration is willing to accept a nuclear Iran, that's why there's this extraordinary pressure on Israel not to attack in Iran,” Bolton told Army Radio.

The former envoy claimed that this pressure was the focus of last week's meetings in Washington between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyhau and US officials, including President Barack Obama.

Bolton said that the Obama administration had embraced the view, prevalent in Europe, that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the key to the resolution of all other conflicts throughout the Middle East, including the Iranian conflict.He added that the rift in US-Israel relations stemmed from a fundamental difference in the understanding of the Middle East and Israel's role in the Middle East, and is not really about east Jerusalem at all.

Bolton said that the treatment Netanyahu received during his visit "should tell the people of Israel how difficult it's going to be dealing with Washington for the next couple of years."

see it here; http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=171949

So....it will be difficult for Israel to deal with Washington...until team Obama is gone. That's really what Bolton is saying.

"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you." says God.
