Santa Muerte

We have all heard of the thousands of Mexicans being killed in the most heinous of ways. We are told that this is the result of drug wars. OK...that makes sense if the drug lords are killing anyone who gets in their way...including all the cops and government officials.


But what is going on in Mexico may have more to do with praying to Satan than it does with simple drug wars.

Are you familiar with Santa Muerte? It literally translates to English as "Saint Death".

It would appear that millions of Mexicans are praying to some skeleton/saint in hopes that they will be protected from death. So instead of praying to Jesus Christ who is the ONLY intermediary to God the Father....they are literally inviting Satanic influence right into their midst.

I would bet a chunk of change that this is the very reason WHY the killing and brutal violence is getting worse with every passing week.

Of course this is connected to the false Catholic tradition of praying to dead Saints....so the logic would follow...why not pray to the king of dead saints....Saint Death?

Check out this Time photo essay to get your antennae up so you know what type of Satanic influence is wrecking Mexico. Also keep in mind that this influence is spilling over into America by the Mexicans who worship Saint Death right in our own country.

Israel's Enemies Continue Arming

After the Lebanon War of 2006, the United Nations peacekeeping forces were sent in to make sure that Hezbollah WOULD not re-arm. Today we know they have 4 times more missiles than they did in 2006. What a joke! And they are sitting a stones throw from Israel just waiting for another conflict to start.

Now today's news says we have France selling the Lebanese Army some super hot missiles...which of course will be used on Israel.

See that here; http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=186180

AND...we have Syria attempting to buy supersonic cruise missiles from Russia....that will be used on Israel.

See that here; http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/israel-working-to-thwart-russia-arms-deal-with-syria-1.310443

And of course we have Israel's arch enemy, Iran, continuing their quest for a nuke...and according to this article they may be closer than anyone knows.

See it here; http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67P20L20100826

If it's not becoming increasingly clear to EVERYONE that the world is getting ready to destroy God's Holy People living in God's Holy Land.....you simply are refusing to open your eyes.

Drowning in Debt

The previous post talked about 15 signs the housing market was going to collapse. I was rereading the actual 15 signs this morning and ran across this one that I felt was worth posting all by itself.

The overall U.S. economy is absolutely drowning in debt, and as this debt bubble bursts it is going to take the U.S. housing market down with it. Right now, the total of all government, business and consumer debt in the United States is somewhere in the neighborhood of 360 percent of GDP.

At no point in U.S. history has that number ever gotten anywhere close to that high. It is the biggest debt bubble in the history of the world, and it is beginning to pop. As it does, one of the areas that will be hit the hardest will be the housing market.

Those waiting for U.S. housing prices to return to the levels of three or four years ago are living in fantasy land. Absent the onset of hyperinflation (which would cause the price of everything to rise dramatically), housing prices are simply not going to return to those levels.

Did you catch that word, "EVER....gotten anywhere close to that high."

See it here; http://www.businessinsider.com/15-signs-that-the-us-housing-market-is-headed-for-complete-and-total-collapse-2010-8#us-economy-is-drowning-in-debt-15

It's funny how Satan works the same in pretty much ALL his traps. He starts off with just a little bait which when you eat it seems harmless and actually pretty fun. Then he ratchets up the desire for that bait in such small increments that you don't even realize it. And pretty soon you have lost control of your common sense, self discipline and your ability to continue living a balanced life.

That's what's happened with this debt bubble. It didn't matter if a person made $40,000 per year or $240,000 per year....the Satan-bait told them they "deserved" to have something they couldn't afford and that there was no reason they couldn't have that shiny toy RIGHT NOW! Forget about saving for it.....FINANCE IT AND TAKE IT HOME! OR FINANCE $600,000 over 30 years and MAKE IT YOUR HOME!

The Satanic fisherman seems to be the same....it's the bait he uses that can change.

Satan can cast shiny things that we use ruinous debt to bite. (unbalance) He can cast alcohol that is good in small quantities but harms millions who drink too much. (unbalance) He can cast food, which we all need to survive but when we eat the bait it leads to gluttony. (unbalance) He can cast sex, which was meant for a gift within marriage, but when used in the form of adultery, pornography and fornication leads to destruction of untold magnitude. (unbalance)

Let's ask ourselves what lure we are attracted to. Let's learn to recognize all the lures so that when we see one come trolling by we can thwart the Satanic fisherman....who wants all of us to be UNBALANCED. Why?? Because an unbalanced person makes a pretty crummy soldier in God's army....and crummy soldiers aren't as effective in aiding the Holy Spirit to SNATCH SOULS FROM THE FIRE.

Housing Collapse?

Of course we hope that all this gloom and doom doesn't happen....but we really shouldn't be surprised if it does.

Earlier this week we were treated to the headline that home sales were down 27% and it was a "total shock" to all the big heads who are supposed to know what's going on. It probably didn't come as a shock to all of us. We know that folks are just sitting tight trying to hold on. When the "free" government money in the form of an $8000 tax credit for home buyers ran out...so did the fabricated demand for housing.

Now today we are greeted with this headline from Business Insider;

15 Signs The U.S. Housing Market Is Headed For Complete And Total Collapse

The U.S. housing market is dying. You will only hear hints of this on the mainstream news and from the politicians in Washington D.C., but as statistic after statistic continues to roll in, the reality of what is happening is becoming very difficult to deny.

For decades, owning a home has been touted as the very heart of "the American Dream", but today that dream is out of reach for an increasing number of Americans. Why? It is because there are not nearly enough jobs for everyone. Without a jobs recovery, there simply is not going to be a housing recovery. Unfortunately, as the U.S. economy continues to come apart like a 20 dollar suit, even more Americans are going to lose their jobs and the U.S. housing industry will continue to experience a very painful decline.

Wow...this sounds pretty ominous. The U.S. economy continues to come apart like a 20 dollar suit.

I wonder if the Word of God would report it more like this; The U.S. economy was built on a flimsy foundation of consumerism...which is really nothing more than people worshiping the god of Mammon. Even though this great society was blessed by God, after a generation of blessings the people started to worship the blessings rather than the Creator who blessed them.

Currency Watch--Bancor

We have spoken in the past about the International Monetary Fund and how they seem to be in the news (Wall Street Journal anyway) almost every day.

We also know that the Bible tells us that some sort of global currency/financial system will be in place when the Antichrist starts taking over.

So we can be continue watching for a global currency to take front and center stage.

Today, I ran across this headline;

Bancor: The Name Of The Global Currency That A Shocking IMF Report Is Proposing

Sometimes there are things that are so shocking that you just do not want to report them unless they can be completely and totally documented. Over the past few years, there have been many rumors about a coming global currency, but at times it has been difficult to pin down evidence that plans for such a currency are actually in the works. Not anymore.

A paper entitled "Reserve Accumulation and International Monetary Stability" by the Strategy, Policy and Review Department of the IMF recommends that the world adopt a global currency called the "Bancor" and that a global central bank be established to administer that currency. The report is dated April 13, 2010 and a full copy can be read here. Unfortunately this is not hype and it is not a rumor. This is a very serious proposal in an official document from one of the mega-powerful institutions that is actually running the world economy. Anyone who follows the IMF knows that what the IMF wants, the IMF usually gets. So could a global currency known as the "Bancor" be on the horizon? That is now a legitimate question.

Well, the IMF report believes that the adoption of a true global currency administered by a global central bank is the answer.

The authors of the report believe that it would be ideal if the "Bancor" would immediately be used as currency by many nations throughout the world, but they also acknowledge that a more "realistic" approach would be for the "Bancor" to circulate alongside national currencies at first....

See it here; http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/bancor-the-name-of-the-global-currency-a-shocking-imf-report-urges-the-world-to-adopt

You will all have to decide for yourselves whether you believe this information to be tangible...but for me, I don't believe it is a coincidence that the IMF is in the news everyday. Something big is brewing with them and we can see that they will soon be bailing out Greece, Spain, Portugal...and who else?

When they have bailed out numerous countries...and those countries then become slave to the lender...then the call will go out for the IMF to just start putting together a "global" plan to pull ALL OF US out the financial fiasco in which we currently find ourselves.

And that plan may be to have a universal money, called the Bancor, and to be administered by a global central bank.

Welcome to the the world of the Antichrist.

Religious Freedom at Ground Zero

So what should it be folks? Should Muslims build mosques anywhere they want in this country just like Christians can build churches anywhere they want?

Is it bigotry that has people protesting a planned mosque being built two blocks from Ground Zero? Or is it an act of blatant insensitivity on the part of the Muslim builders?

Syndicated columnist, Charles Krauthammer, does a darn good job of spelling out the truth of the matter.

It’s hard to be an Obama sycophant these days. Your hero delivers a Ramadan speech roundly supporting the building of a mosque and Islamic center at Ground Zero in New York. Your heart swells and you’re moved to declare this President Obama’s finest hour, his act of greatest courage.

Alas, the next day, at a remove of 800 miles, Obama explains that he was only talking about the legality of the thing and not the wisdom — upon which he does not make, and will not make, any judgment.

You’re left looking like a fool because now Obama has said exactly nothing: No one disputes the right to build; the whole debate is about the propriety, the decency of doing so.

It takes no courage whatsoever to bask in the applause of a Muslim audience as you promise to stand stoutly for their right to build a mosque, giving the unmistakable impression that you endorse the idea. What does take courage is to then respectfully ask that audience to reflect upon the wisdom of the project and consider whether the imam’s alleged goal of interfaith understanding might not be better achieved by accepting the New York governor’s offer to help find another site.

Ground Zero is the site of the most lethal attack of that worldwide movement, which consists entirely of Muslims, acts in the name of Islam, and is deeply embedded within the Islamic world. These are regrettable facts, but facts they are. And that is why putting up a monument to Islam in this place is not just insensitive but provocative.

Just as the people of Japan today would not think of planting their flag at Pearl Harbor, despite the fact that no Japanese under the age of 85 has any possible responsibility for that infamy, representatives of contemporary Islam — the overwhelming majority of whose adherents are equally innocent of the infamy committed on 9/11 in their name — should exercise comparable respect for what even Obama calls hallowed ground.

See it here; http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/244269

It seems pretty obvious to me, doesn't it to you? The Catholics took down a nunnery that was close to a Jewish concentration camp....the Japanese would never plan a memorial to their war dead to be erected at Pearl Harbor....and the "tolerant" Muslims should understand that if they want to build bridges with non-Muslims, they should build the mosque somewhere else.

Of course Krauthammer didn't (couldn't?) spell out the very obvious problem of Islam and mosque building....the problem being that Islam leads people AWAY from salvation in Christ. So according to Christ, Paul, John and others....this fact qualifies Islam to be a Satanic religion that is paving a huge road to deception and flat out denying the words of God spoken by Jesus...."I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me."

So as far as God's word is concerned...I would just as soon that there were NO mosques in the U.S....in the same way that I hope there are no Satanic Temples built in the U.S....in the same way I hope there are no Voodoo Shrines built in the U.S....in the same way I hope there are no Wicca Seminaries constructed here.

Spiritual Healing

As I was posting the previous post from Time...I came across another feature. This one is a slide show called;

Spiritual Healing Around the World

See it here; http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1878443_1842216,00.html

As you go through the 16 pictures and Time's description of what is happening in each photo....see if you can identify how many of the practices have Satanic deception at their core.

But I guess this shouldn't surprise us....because the apostles told us that we were strangers and aliens on this dark, lost, Satanic planet. So we should fully expect Satanic deception to be running wild.

It's just tragic when you see the deception creeping into territory that was once claimed by Christ....and now it's followers have tossed Him out.

Seminary Deception

We know the Methodists have been leading the charge into relativism for quite some time now. Of course the Lutherans (ELCA) and other denominations have been following them quickly into the mud.

But now we have reached a new level of, "lost"...even for the Methodists. Here is the title of the article in Time Magazine;

Training Pastors, Rabbis, and Imams Together

When Jerry Campbell became president of California's renowned Claremont School of Theology four years ago, low enrollment and in-the-red books threatened to close the 125-year-old institution. But since Claremont is the only United Methodist seminary west of Denver, Campbell resolved to find a way to stay open.

Drawing from classic American entrepreneurial wisdom — when faced with extinction, innovate — and a commitment to engage today's multi-faith culture, this fall Claremont will commence a first on U.S. soil: a "theological university" to train future pastors, imams, and rabbis under one roof. The experiment to end isolated clerical training brings together Claremont, the Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC) and the Academy for Jewish Religion California. The hope of officials at all three organizations is that when leaders study their own religious traditions together alongside friends of other faiths, they will develop the respect and wisdom necessary to transform America's fractured religious outlook.

Did you catch that? As if the Word of God is just another business that some marketing guy can "innovate" a great idea to keep the money flowing.

How about the, "transforming America's religious outlook"....why not just paste up a billboard outside the school that says, "Working hard towards Satan's goal of a one-world-religion."

Read more: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2010951,00.html?xid=rss-topstories#ixzz0xYbEY6w5

Oh yeah....as if this wasn't enough, they hope to add Buddhist and Hindu training at the same place.

And because Claremont still needs to find Buddhist and Hindu partners, hire up to 25 new professors, and raise an additional $104 million to pay for endowed faculty chairs and facility expansion, Campbell estimated that it will be nearly 10 years before the multi-faith project is in full swing.

I would sure hope they would soon be training Voodoo Priests, Shamans, Pagans and Satanists at this school as well. Why stop at only 5 religions?

It's amazing how quickly we have fallen into the pit.

"Wide is the road to destruction and MANY will be on it. Narrow is the path to life and few will be on it.".....says Jesus.

If the trumpet blows tomorrow.....how many is a "few"?

I hate to say it, but I don't believe it is going to be anywhere close to the 1.5 billion folks who claim to be Christians.

Keep working to snatch people from the fire. As Paul would say....the finish line is in sight.

Restrainer Withdrawn

The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is what restrains evil on this dark, Satanic planet. If it wasn't for the Holy Spirit the whole planet would have gone to hell a long time ago.

1 John 5:19 tells us, "We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one."

That means that this is Satan's planet and that we are dropped in here (by Christ) to snatch other's from the Satanic hell that awaits us all if we don't accept God's grace. That is to be our mission.

When the restraining power of the Holy Spirit is withdrawn (2 Thessalonians)...you can see Satanic evil break out on a regular basis. Since the Holy Spirit is in-dwelling in all believers....wherever their is a lack of believers, you can expect to see really nasty stuff.

Today I caught this glimpse of Satan running loose. Where? Africa. It shouldn't surprise us that Satanic stuff is running wild all over that dark continent...as Christ followers are in very short supply and Satan has put his top defenders over that entire continent.

JOHANNESBURG — Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women and some baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. peacekeepers' base in an eastern Congo mining district, an American aid worker and a Congolese doctor said Monday.

Four young boys also were raped, said Dr. Kasimbo Charles Kacha, the district medical chief. Masudi said they were babies aged one month, six months, a year and 18 months.

"Many women said they were raped in their homes in front of their children and husbands, and many said they were raped repeatedly by three to six men," Cragin said. Others were dragged into the nearby forest.

International and local health workers have treated 179 women but the number raped could be much higher as terrified civilians still are hiding, he said.

See it here; http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/23/some-200-women-gangraped-_n_690960.html

Honestly....who rapes baby boys except Satan? I would bet the men who did this probably were jacked up on demons, voodoo, drugs and porn.

Satan is having a field day. And his rage is growing as he plans an all out pillaging of planet earth when the Holy Spirit is TOTALLY WITHDRAWN.....which of course will happen at The Rapture.

Perfect Storm

Many people ask me if I regularly watch Glenn Beck on Fox. I have to truthfully answer, "no", since we don't have cable. However, I am very familiar with who he is and happen to believe he is pretty right on with what he sees coming for this country.

Today I ran across a Youtube clip of GB from his show that aired last week. In this show he talks about the perfect storm that seems to be set to explode on America. He talks about Mideast turmoil, energy, social unrest, borders, economy, etc.... and mentions how these storm clouds are all hovering over America and if any of them go off....it could be the end of USA.

He then asks if he thinks that an election in November, where we throw some Republicans or Tea Party into the Congress, is going to fix anything. Of course we all know that the election isn't going to fix any of our long term problems....it may prevent the explosion for a little while....but the explosion is still coming.

So what is Glenn Beck's answer to the ONLY way that we are going to solve this perfect storm?

GOD!

See it here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8oSd78i2lU

This is amazing to me that you have a major "News" show on Fox News and the commentator is saying that the only answer to fix our problems is God.

The only thing that would have made it even more amazing is if he had said "Jesus Christ".

How does that verse go?..., "If you will humble yourselves and seek my face, then I will hear your prayers in heaven and will heal your land."

How many Americans do you think are doing what God prescribed? Probably not many.

Glenn Beck is right. God is the only answer. Without Him we may all lose the freedom that God granted this great nation.

Winston Churchill and UFO's

We posted last week about how UFO's seem to be going mainstream at a very fast pace. Movies, TV shows, magazines, all seem to be talking about (and leading us to?) a place where most of the world's populace will accept the "fact" that aliens from other planets have been visiting us. Or worse....leading the populace to believe that "aliens" are responsible for life on earth.

I missed this tidbit when it broke a few weeks ago, but it now seems that Winston Churchill may have been involved in a UFO cover up that happened during WWII. Even more bizarre (and probably accurate?) is that he allegedly said it was in the public interest to be kept ignorant of UFO's because it may challenge people's faith in God and religion.

While returning to Britain from a mission in Germany, the crew was reportedly approached by a metallic UFO on the English coast. The crew even took photographs of the UFO, the letter said.
The writer said that the UFO appeared to "hover noiselessly" and then suddenly disappeared.
Upon hearing the story, Churchill allegedly ordered that it be kept secret for 50 years or more.


"This event should be immediately classified since it would create mass panic amongst the general population and destroy one's faith in the Church," the letter claims he said.

The writer asked the Ministry of Defense if it could confirm the incident and if the event was still classified.


In response, the Ministry of Defense said it could not find any written record of the incident. But it also said that before 1967, all UFO files were destroyed after five years, so any UFO documents from World War II era would most likely have been destroyed.


See it here; http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/churchill-ufo-winston-churchill-order-ufo-cover-avoid/story?id=11333892&page=1

Note that this story appeared on ABC news with a video from BBC....so the discussion is certainly continuing to go mainstream.

At the end of the article one of the interviewees had this to say;

Still, he said he doubts that the missing information is going to be supplied any time soon.

"We need to recognize that we're sitting on a pile of significant information but the world is in a precarious situation right now," he said. "Economies are not doing so great. Do you really want to do something that throws a monkey wrench into everything?"


Wow! He may have that right! Can you imagine with all the chaos currently going on if the USA and other Western nations came out all at once and said, "People, we have been in discussion for decades with beings from other planets...and here is what they have been telling us...."

Again, I will point out 1 Timothy 4:1...."The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits (aliens?) and things taught by demons."

If Churchill did say what he allegedly said about people having their faith destroyed....he may have been quoting Biblical prophecy....and didn't even know it?

Remember friends...these UFO's are not "aliens" coming from another planet or universe. They are deceptive demons, hybrid flesh or some other Luciferean creation sent by Satan to decieve this lost, confused and Biblically illiterate planet.

Hat tip to April.

More Pangs

Last night I was at our church's high school weekly get together and had a great conversation with some friends there. We were talking about the increasing frequency of droughts, floods, quakes, storms, etc.... And we also commented on how most folks don't seem to know or care why this may be happening.

So this morning I was reading the weekly update of a major prophecy watcher and he had this to say;

One of the clearest indications of the progression of Bible prophecy is the frequency of end-time events. In Matthew 24:8, we are told that the last days will be the tail-end of an exponential curve of activity. Jesus mentioned a great variety of signs—spiritual, natural, societal, and geopolitical—and then He said that these signs will be like "birth pangs."

As the birth of a baby approaches, the birth pangs increase two ways: frequency and intensity. Thus, Jesus was saying that the closer we get to the time of His return, the more frequent and intense the signs will become. There will be more earthquakes and more intense ones. Likewise, things like famine, pestilence, and war will increase in frequency and intensity.


This year started out with monstrous earthquakes striking the nations of Haiti, Chile, and China. The death toll from the Haiti quake has now risen to more than 230,000. The Chile earthquake is in the record books as the seventh-greatest earthquake ever recorded.


In the past few weeks, there has been an upsurge in birth-pang activity. Three categories stand out:
Floods--Many have been struck by noteworthy flooding. In April, the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro had terrible flooding. But the most remarkable flooding has occurred in Pakistan, where the deluge has been of epic proportions: 20 million people have been affected, with more than 1,400 dead, 900,000 homes damaged, and 3.5 million children at risk for waterborne diseases. One-fifth of the nation is now under water, and the rains are continuing to fall.


Drought--A severe drought in Russia has devastated the nation’s wheat crop. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin banned all exports of grain until the end of the year. The ban has pushed prices to their highest level in two years in the United States. Russian grain exports totaled 21.4 million metric tons last year, about 17 percent of the global grain trade. The Middle East is heavily dependant on Russian grain. Egypt, the world’s largest wheat importer, is left to wonder whether current contracts with Russia will be honored. If we should have a drought in another country that is a key grain exporter, global famine could become a real possibility.


Pestilence--The World Health Organization called on health authorities around the globe to monitor a multi-drug-resistant superbug that surfaced in South Asia and spread to Britain. The WHO said a new gene enables some types of bacteria to be highly resistant to almost all antibiotics. With some bacterial strains, the death rate is as high as 30 percent.


In the U.S., there is a growing problem with bedbugs. The city of New York had 11,000 complaints about bedbugs last year. Bedbugs have been discovered recently in theaters, clothing stores, hotels, housing projects, and posh apartments. They have even been found in the Empire State Building.

This level of activity is amazing when you consider that the year is only a little more than half over. The Lord certainly seems to be trying to get man’s attention, but I can see that man's stubbornness is a huge obstacle. It amazes me to see how quickly historic disasters fade from memory.


See it here; http://raptureready.com/rap16.html

It's funny....that's also what we commented on last night...the fact that when the tsunami happened in 2004 all of the world was glued to their TV's to watch this catastrophic happening...and now a catastrophe is happening in Pakistan...and most don't even know about it.

Catastrophes of epic proportion are happening on a weekly basis...and now we are simply growing numb to them because of the frequency with which they are happening.

Lord, please help to open our eyes. Please help us all to realize that these happenings are not simply a coincidence.
