Playing God

It appears that the White House has paved the way for science to experiment and "create" new forms of life.....by manipulating DNA.

The White House on Thursday said the controversial field of synthetic biology, or manipulating the DNA of organisms to forge new life forms, poses limited risks and should be allowed to proceed.

The panel was created by Obama last year. Its first order of business was to consider the issue of synthetic biology after the J. Craig Venter Instituteannounced in May it had developed the first self-replicating bacteria cell controlled by a synthetic genome.

Critics said the discovery was tantamount to "playing God," creating organisms without adequate understanding the ramifications, and upsetting the natural order.

Jesus says that the Last Days will be as it was in the days of Noah. What does that mean? Could he, in fact, be referring to hybrid creatures and hybrid humans (Nephilim) that some scriptural evidence points to?

Since Eve walked in the garden, man has wanted to be like God. Nothing has changed. Many are convinced that with enough science advancements and enough time....humans will eventually be like God.

What a tragic mistake. Scripture is clear that that path leads to destruction.

North and South Korea...the Fur Could Fly

Last month the North unexpectedly bombed some islands that are in the South's territory. People were killed and property destroyed. The South issued some strong language but listened to their American handlers and avoided carrying out any revenge attacks.

Today we have the South announcing that their military is going to practice some live firing drills on the very island that the North attacked.

Needless to say, that is provoking the North....and who knows?....the fur could really start to fly.


UNITED NATIONS -- Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is urging North Korea to show restraint and calling on both Koreas to reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula.

The U.N. chief's comments Friday followed Pyongyang's warning that if Seoul goes ahead with planned artillery drills on a front-line island in the coming days it will respond with a bigger attack than it did on Nov. 23 when its shelling killed four South Koreans.

Ban, a former South Korean foreign minister, called the Nov. 23 attack on the tiny island of Yeonpyeong "one of the gravest provocations since the end of Korean war."

The secretary-general also called North Korea's recent disclosure of a new uranium enrichment facility "quite alarming."

See it here; http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121703602.html

If this whole thing wasn't so deadly serious...it really would be quite funny. Why? Because it is funny to watch liberals (like Ban Ki-moon) try and deal with bullies. They SO abhor violence and so dismiss it as a usable tool....that they simply have no idea what to do with a bully like North Korea or Iran. They seem to be truly surprised when their smart talk and financial carrots fail to produce the desired result. And then they just stand off and issue phrases like, "Quite alarming!" and "Please show some restraint!"

When will the leaders of the free world realize that violence is the one rule that trumps all on this planet where Satan is currently the prince? When we have peace, it is only because the free world was willing to use violence to gain that peace....and that peace will only be a temporary respite before violence ensues again. Another way to look at it is that violence is the "default" setting for planet earth....when you hit the "reset" button, everything goes back to violence and anarchy.

One thing for sure....America has shown it's weakness in Iraq and Afghanistan because it has taken forever to gain any victory. When we sent an aircraft carrier to show support for South Korea, everyone in the world KNEW that we wouldn't shoot one single North Korean soldier from it. Iran thumbs it's nose at us. China thumbs it's nose at us. And the despots and dictators of the world have sat up and taken notice....and the respect of U.S. power has been greatly diminished...and the world has grown more dangerous as we approach the "reset" button.

Good News for USA

We had some good news the other day that Obama has basically given up on pressuring Israel to make peace with their Arab enemies.

Today we have more good news out of the U.S. Congress.

Congress: No to Palestinian statehood declaration

House of Representatives unanimously decides to remind Obama it supports Israel, passes motion saying US will not recognize Palestinian state declared without Israel's approval, veto UN resolution to this effect if it is brought forth

"The US reaffirms strong opposition to any attempt to establish or seek recognition of a Palestinian state outside of an agreement negotiated between Israel and the Palestinians," the motion says, also stating that "real and lasting peace could only be achieved through direct negotiations between the two sides".

The house mentioned that Palestinian leaders were threatening to make a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state and were requesting recognition from the UN and other international forums.

See it here; http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3999994,00.html

Maybe you have heard, but Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay have all recognized a Palestinian state back to the 1967 borders....and they did this without any consult with Israel.

We will have to see what happens to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay...but for now we should do a little whistle that our U.S. Congress has decided to stand with Israel for another day.

Europe's Turn to Threaten Israel

It seems that pressure from the U.S. on Israel to make peace has subsided a bit...at least from what we can read in the media. But it appears that it might now be the European Union who is going to pick up the pressure.

EUROPEAN Union foreign ministers have threatened to recognise an independent Palestinian state to punish Israel for refusing to halt illegal settlements.

A text seen by The Daily Telegraph warned of EU ''readiness, when appropriate, to recognise a Palestinian state'', increasing pressure on Israel following the effective collapse of direct Middle East peace talks last week.


''There is growing frustration with Israel after its refusal to commit to a new settlements freeze and patience is running out,'' a European diplomat said.

See it here; http://www.watoday.com.au/world/eu-threat-to-recognise-palestine-state-20101214-18ws4.html

Hmmmm......makes me wonder if this will increase the pressure on Europe as Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and others are on the brink of bankruptcy....and the pressure on the Euro as a unifying currency continues to build?

Also continue to watch the unrest build in Europe as protesters show up on the streets on a daily basis to DEMAND more programs, borrowed money and more "free" lunches.

We can't know for sure how this prophecy may play out....but it is worthwhile to note that prophecy speaks of 10 powers in the revived Roman empire who will rise up in the last days. Is it possible that this pressure could make 16 members drop out of the union so that only 10 are left?

We will need to watch.

The Economy is Improving

What is good news? What is bad news? Of course the answers to those questions all depend on your perspective.

Case in point; When the Twin Towers came down, it was incredibly bad news for almost every single American. But the same event triggered shouts of euphoria and the handing out of candy and gifts in the Palestinian territories and other Arab countries.

With that being said, today we have found some good news in the Wall Street Journal....and both articles have to do with what the Federal Reserve has been up to.

The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee meets today amid lots of chin-pulling and moaning about the recent rout in the bond market. Wasn't the idea to reduce bond yields? What's going on out there?

Count us among the optimists who think this is good news, a sign that markets are concluding that the economy is improving as major policy obstacles recede and the risk of deflation vanishes, if it ever existed.

There are also risks to growth overseas as China tries to rein in its inflation problem, and of course from Europe. But given all of the damage imposed by Washington, the remarkable story is how resilient the economy has been.

This would not mean returning to a "tight" monetary policy by any historic definition of the term. It would mean acknowledging that the fears of a double-dip recession have receded, deflation fears were overwrought, and the best way to nurture the economy to a durable expansion is with a return to monetary normalcy.

The other article also concludes that the Federal Reserves recent announcement that it was printing $600 billion to buy Treasuries has actually been a GOOD thing.

It's titled; THE FED'S POLICY IS WORKING

The recent surge in long-term Treasury yields has led many to say that the Fed's second round of quantitative easing is a failure. The critics predict that QE2 may end up hurting rather than helping the economic recovery, as higher rates nip in the bud any rebound in the housing market and dampen capital spending. But the rise in long-term Treasury rates does not signal that the Fed's policy has backfired. It is a sign that the Fed's policy is succeeding.

So could this all really be good news for all of us Americans? Could it be that we are soon headed back to "normal"...whatever "normal" actually means? Could our homes start building equity again...soon making it possible for us to use this new found wealth to buy more stuff? Could the stock market start building back investors 401K balances again so they can once more start dreaming of retiring to their sunny dream homes in Arizona? Could Bed, Bath and Beyond start opening stores once again, hiring back laid off employees, thereby providing jobs and a sense of well being?

If this is all true...could this recent news have anything to do with the fact that we have quit pressuring Israel about settlements...for the time being?

If this is all true...could it be that we are simply in the "eye of the storm"....and another shoe is about to drop?

I don't know...but I pray that these last few years of uncertainty has awakened many folks in the USA as to how helpless we all truly are...and that many, many of us have turned back to God...who currently sustains us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Lucifer Coin?

Yesterday I posted about the coming global currency along with pictures. Now take a closer look at the coin that says UNITED FUTURE WORLD CURRENCY... do you see something that looks VERY SIMILAR to the Luciferian symbol? Just a coincidence?? You be the judge.

Thanks Tom F. for this follow up.

China Joins Axis of Evil

We know North Korea has been wound up tight over the last 4-5 years. First, they popped off a few nuclear bombs (surprise!), then they sunk a South Korean navy ship killing 46 sailors, last month they shelled some South Korean islands and now they are threatening nuclear war if South Korea and the U.S. don't tone down their joint military games.

See that story here; http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/KoreasClash/2010/12/13/id/379725?s=al&promo_code=B48A-1

So where did they get their nuclear know-how? After all, this is a country that doesn't even have electricity and it's people are starving to death because they don't have modern farming techniques.... so who taught them how to spin centrifuges and collect plutonium?

The scary answer is that fingers are pointing to China.

Last month, U.S. nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker paid his fourth visit to North Korea, where he was granted a tour of some of the hermit kingdom's nuclear facilities. Think WikiLeaks is bad? Compared to what the former director of the Los Alamos lab saw, it's nothing.

Mr. Hecker was given a tour of a construction site where Pyongyang intends to build a 100-megawatt reactor. Next he was taken to a uranium enrichment facility. "The first look through the windows of the observation deck into the two long high-bay areas was stunning," relates Mr. Hecker. "Instead of seeing a few small cascades of centrifuges, which I believed to exist in North Korea, we saw a modern, clean centrifuge plant of more than a thousand centrifuges all neatly aligned and plumbed below us."

The North Koreans told Mr. Hecker they had developed all of this indigenously. I asked Thomas Reed and Danny Stillman, both former nuclear-weapons designers and authors of "The Nuclear Express," an excellent history of nuclear proliferation, what they thought were the chances of that. Answer: "Zero."

Which leaves China, the "most likely" provider of the North's new toys, according to the authors. "There is no possibility," they say, "of North Korea achieving what nuclear capability it has without Chinese help."

China!? What the heck could be up with that? Why would they help a psychotic despot (Kim Jong Il) with illusions of grandeur who demands to be worshiped as a god...get nuclear weapons?

The answer to that question is pretty unsettling;

This is not the behavior of a status quo power, but of a revolutionary one supporting activities and regimes that represent the most acute threat to global security.

The Bible tells us that the "kings from the East" will one day cross the dried up Euphrates and start marching to the battle of Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12) What that tells me is that we should be watching China because they will be a player in the very Last Days. So prophecy watchers should expect to see foreshadowing today of China turning on any country that has any marks of Judeo-Christian values and we should expect to see China's prominence in the world arena grow.

Also let's remember something else; the USA owes a boat load of money to this revolutionary power called China. I sure hope we all enjoyed all the crap we bought with the money we borrowed from them.....because the bill is now due.

United Future World Currency

So here we can plainly see what direction the world is going in regards to currency...and clearly there WILL be a one world currency in the Last Days....exactly as the Bible tells us. Quite honestly it's just shocking how fast it may come.

Check out what the website has to say about this money.

The world in a coin. This is our vision, our hope. It is a necessity and a challenge. What seems an impossible dream becomes an inevitable historic, economic and social process. It is an event which is intertwined with the fate of human evolution.

A single currency becomes the premise for an increasingly global planet. A virtual currency capable of speaking a single, comprehensible language to foster humankind's innate desire to go farther, to surpass boundaries, and move towards true principles of peace, freedom, brotherhood and understanding beyond issues of race, political and religious beliefs and party interests.

Holy cow! You gotta love that sentence about the "fate of human evolution". Can anyone see the Antichrist right around the corner?

Just Keep Digging

If you want to quit sinking deeper in a hole....quit digging.

Sadly, for America, we are at a point where we simply have no choice but to keep digging.

Here is the headline that shows it;

November federal budget deficit highest on record

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal budget deficit rose to $150.4 billion last month, the largest November gap on record. And the government's deficits are set to climb higher if Congress passes a tax-cut plan that's estimated to cost $855 billion over two years.

The Treasury Department says November's budget gap was 25 percent more than the deficit in November 2009.

For the first two months of the current budget year, which began Oct. 1, the deficit totals $290.8 billion. That's 2 percent less than for the same period a year ago. And economists had been estimating that the full-year deficit would decline after two years of record highs.

But analysts say the tax deal President Barack Obama reached with Republicans this week will give the 2011 budget year the largest deficit in history -- $1.5 trillion, according to economists at JPMorgan Chase. It would mark the third straight year of trillion-dollar-plus deficits.

See it here; http://finance.yahoo.com/news/November-federal-budget-apf-4242171600.html?x=0

Ouch! Can a country run $ trillion dollar per year deficits forever?

Can a man making $50,000 per year borrow $100,000 per year forever?

Sooner than later that party will come to an abrupt end. And for a country full of voracious consumers like the USA...when our party screeches to a halt.... it's going to shake the world.
