Federal Reserve Buying Everything

We all should know by now that the Federal Reserve doesn't actually HAVE any money...so it continues to beg the obvious question of how they are able to BUY anything?

But of course in this world where wrong is right and right is wrong, up is down and down is up...everything is NOT as it appears.

This latest news on the Federal Reserve continues to support our idea that we must be getting close to the end of this Ponzi scheme....where the Fed BUYS U.S. Treasuries...with imaginary money.

(CNSNews.com) - So far this calendar year, the Federal Reserve has bought up more U.S. government debt than the U.S. Treasury has issued.

On Dec. 31, the total debt of the U.S. government was $16.4327 trillion and then-Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner announced that the government had hit what was then the legal debt limit. Last week, however, Congress enacted a law to suspend the federal government debt limit until May 18, 2013, and allow the administration to resume increasing the debt.

By the close of business on Wednesday, Feb. 6, according to the U.S. Treasury, the total federal debt had climbed to $16.4799 trillion—an increase of $47.2 billon for the calendar year.

At the close of business on Jan. 2, the Federal Reserve had owned $1.661 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities. By the close of business on Feb. 6, it owned $1.7172 trillion—an increase of $51.1 billion for the calendar year.

Thus, the Federal Reserve’s purchases of U.S. government debt in this calendar year have exceeded the Treasury’s net debt issues by about $3.9 billion.

Also last week, the Federal Reserve announced that it “will continue purchasing additional … longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month.”

We have NO IDEA when the confidence in this failed system will fail.  What we do know is that IT WILL FAIL.

What we also know is that when it does fail it will not go out with a tiny whimper.

The USA is still the world's largest economy and biggest military and still has control of the world's ONLY reserve currency.  So when USA fails...the power vacuum that will be created will be ENORMOUS.  And when nations rush in to fill the vacuum there will be lots of pushing and shoving involved...and when nations push and shove it almost ALWAYS means using guns and soldiers.

Remember, Jesus said all this unrest MUST happen before the Kingdom comes to earth.  He also tells us not to fear because HE will never leave us.

Awesome promise!!

Russia, Abortions and No Will to Live

Did you know that if a society gets to a place where every married couple is having 2 kids or less....that the society is dying off?

To which some of you will say, "Duh!"

I know, I know...it sounds obvious, but so are lots of things that most folks have never thought about.

Think about it...it takes 4-5 kids all working and generating income and paying taxes to support the huge social programs that the previous generation voted in for themselves, like Social Security and Medicare.  Yep...it's REAL expensive to give every person in America older than 65 a whole bunch of medical care and monthly income.

So what's up with Russia?  What is happening in that dark, dreary place where vodka is the national drink and the Holy Spirit has been stifled?

This week Russian president Vladimir Putin brought Boyz II Men to Moscow to "hopefully [give] Russian men some inspiration ahead of St. Valentine's Day," according to the Moscow Times. That is, Putin brought the music group to town to encourage love-making, and, he hopes, baby-making to offset Russia's demographic disaster.

But, according to statistics in a new book by Jonathan V. Last, it might have been a wiser move for Putin bring in a pro-life group instead. The book is titled What to Expect When No One’s Expecting.

Russia's demographic disaster, Last details, is being exacerbated by the fact that abortions are outpacing live births in Russia. "Abortion is rampant, with 13 abortions performed for every 10 live births," writes Last. "Consider that for a moment: Russians are so despondent about the future that they have 30 percent more abortions than births."

Last says that "This might be the most grisly statistic the world has ever seen. It suggests a society that no longer has the will to live."

Here;  http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/13-abortions-every-10-live-births-russia_700451.html

Holy extinction!!  The Russians are going extinct!  13 abortions for every 10 live births!!  That is so sad and so tragic that it's hard to grasp what this even means!!

Of course we also must realize that Russia is one of the most God-less places on earth....so nothing should surprise us when Satan has the run of the roost with not much to restrain him. (very little Holy Spirit indwelling its population)

Here's what we do know....when societies start to vanish and die off, they can act VERY erratically.

Is it a surprise that Putin the Dictator has come back onto the scene and is blustering all about?  Not really.  Is it a surprise the Japan had to scramble fighter jets yesterday because Russian war planes were violating their air space?  Not really.  Is it a surprise that Russia has started flying their old nuclear-bomber runs and testing the US Air Force response just like they did for 30 years of Cold War?  Not really.

Most prophecy watchers continue to expect Russia to lead a Last Days coalition which includes Iran, Turkey and some other North African Muslim nations when they hatch a plan to exterminate Israel and are wiped out by God before they can launch the job.

So we should not be surprised as we watch Russia continue to spin out of control.  With no children....they have no future.  This could explain why they go looking to take wealth from Israel....because they can't create any of their own without an up and coming work force.

Finally, please remember that America isn't too far behind the Russians in our birth rates.  Failing societies figure, "Why have kids when we can have the government care for us with a lot less hassle?"

Ummm.....that doesn't work....and usually ends up with a $17 trillion dollar credit card bill.

America has aborted 50,000,000 of our own babies in the last 40 years.....that's a lot of future workers who AREN'T around to pay into Social Security to keep Grandma in her apartment.

I sure am glad God has this whole story under His TOTAL CONTROL....otherwise these stories could get a bit depressing.

Are China and Japan Going to War?

If you have been watching the skirmish between China and Japan play out over some tiny islands...you know that the tension seems to be building rather than dissipating.

Remember with China, Japan and the U.S., we have the three largest economies in the world...and it would NOT be good for anybody if these three start shooting at each other trying to take control of some rocks in the South China Sea.

Also remember that China has $1 trillion of our U.S. Gov't Bonds, so while they don't want us to default on them...we also need to be careful that we don't upset them so much that they decide to cash them in and force the USA to default on these debts.

A senior Navy intelligence official issued a blunt warning last week that China’s growing “hegemonistic” threat to security is destabilizing the Asia-Pacific region.

“Make no mistake, the [Chinese] navy is focused on war at sea and about sinking an opposing fleet,” said Capt. James Fanell, deputy chief of staff for intelligence and information operations at the U.S. Pacific Fleet, at a defense conference in San Diego on Jan. 31.

The comments come amid growing tensions between Japan and China over Chinese claims to the Senkaku Islands, near Okinawa and Taiwan, as well as increasing Chinese military assertiveness in the South China Sea.

China's navy is escalating efforts to gain control of what Beijing calls “near seas” by using “civil proxy” maritime security ships, Capt. Fanell said.

“They now regularly challenge exclusive economic-zone resource rights that South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Vietnam once thought were guaranteed to them by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,” he said.

The Chinese naval harassment expanded outward over time to cover most of the South China Sea and East China Sea.

“China is challenging other nations’ rights,” he said, under the rubric of “what’s mine is mine, and we’ll negotiate what’s yours.”

China now has eight military installations on seven reefs in the Spratly islands, claimed by the Philippines.

Chinese surveillance ships in the region “have no other mission but to harass other nations into submitting to China’s claims,” Capt. Fanell said, noting that for Beijing, the sea- surveillance agency is “a full-time maritime sovereignty harassment organization” with no other mission.

Holy nightmare!!  How do you fight a war with someone you owe a literal boat-load of money to?

Have you heard that China has been buying gold by the barge full?  Do you know why a country would do that?  Because they see a day coming when all the paper currencies of the world will become worthless....and they want to be at the drawing board of dictating who will control the currency that will emerge from the ashes.

Remember the old saying, "He with the gold makes the rules."

Man Quits Job Over Number 666

The Bible tells us that a day is coming for planet earth when everyone will have to choose....either take the Mark of the Beast (666) or you won't be able to buy or sell anything.

Of course we also know that you won't accidentally make that choice.  It will be something VERY clear when you are given the choice to have the mark stamped on your forehead or arm.  And of course if you do agree to take the mark, the Bible is clear that your name WILL NOT be in the Lamb's book of life.

But this dude from Tennessee didn't get the memo that we are NOT in The Great Tribulation yet.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee maintenance worker says he quit his job because his W-2 tax form was stamped with the number 666.

Walter Slonopas told The Tennessean ( ) that accepting the number would have condemned his soul to hell. That number is considered the "mark of the beast" in the Bible's Book of Revelation describing the apocalypse.

The company that handles payroll for Contech Casting LLC says the number meant Slonopas' form was the 666th one mailed out.

The 52-year-old Slonopas says he had trouble with the number before. He was supposed to be assigned No. 668 to use when he clocked in. Because of a mix-up, he was assigned 666. He complained and got a new number.

A company spokesman says Contech would send a new W-2 and wants to rehire Slonopas. But Slonopas says "God is worth more than money."

No doubt, folks from all walks of life are getting jumpy about this whole LAST DAYS chatter that is going around.  With the History Channel showing shows like DOOMSDAY PREPPERS and ALIEN INVASION...when people don't know their Bibles, they can get rattled.

Of course we are not supposed to have a spirit of fear, but rather a Spirit of confidence and joy...because Jesus has marked us for salvation and NOTHING can snatch us out of his hand.

Also, I'm hanging onto a lot of hope that WE WILL NOT BE HERE to witness the Mark of the Beast being handed out.  I'm VERY hopeful that we will be hanging out with Jesus in our new mansions while the 70th Week of Daniel plays out here on earth.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

8.0 Quake

A few days ago we did a post about all the big quakes in a few short days.

Today we have reports of an 8.0 off the Solomon Islands.

That is a big quake.

HONIARA: A major 8.0 magnitude earthquake was feared to have flattened villages in the Solomon Islands Wednesday, and triggered a tsunami with destructive potential for Pacific nations’ coasts, monitors said.

A small tsunami wave reached part of the Solomons and watches were in effect as far afield as Hawaii, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said. New Zealand was also on guard, but monitors said there was no threat to Australia.

The US Geological Survey said the quake struck at 0112 GMT near the Santa Cruz Islands in the Solomons, which have been hit by a series of strong tremors over the past week, at a depth of 5.8 kilometres (3.5 miles).

Two powerful aftershocks of 6.4 and 6.6 magnitude were also recorded.

“Sea level readings indicate a tsunami was generated,” the Hawaii-based Pacific centre said. “It may have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicentre and could also be a threat to more distant coasts.”

“That’s the province, which if it is going to have an effect, then they will be the first people to be impacted,” the official, who did not wish to be named, told AFP.

“They felt the quake.”

He added that the national disaster operation centre had been activated and officials in Honiara were trying to contact those in Temotu province.

In 2007 a tsunami following an 8.1-magnitude earthquake killed at least 52 people in the Solomons and left thousands homeless.

The Solomon Islands are part of the “Ring of Fire”, a zone of tectonic activity around the Pacific Ocean that is subject to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Another day...another big quake.  Is this all just one big coincidence that Israel is surrounded by demonic terrorists, the financial sector could implode any day, violence is sweeping America, the church is dying of apostasy, perversion has exploded, drought has swept America, a big meteor is sailing past earth with a near miss, solar storms are peaking and threatening our electric grid, North Korea is dreaming of nuking New York and quakes are volcanoes are rumbling along on a daily basis?

Yep...must be related to global warming.

Now...back to bed!  There is nothing to see here!

Race Against Race

Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that kingdom will rise against kingdom (nation against nation) and that nation will rise against nation. (race against race)

Are you aware of the serious problems that the black community is having?  70% of the black babies born in America last year have no father in their lives.

What happens to boys raised without fathers?  They have a huge chance of ending up in jail and living lives filled with violence.

Have you seen all the shootings in Chicago?  How many of them have involved black shooters?  Almost 100% have been black victims shot by black shooters.

Can you see an explosion coming when food prices rise and food stamp benefits don't?

Check out this mob beating in NYC and understand that in the Last Days men will be lovers of violence.  Watch how willing complete strangers are to join in the beating.

See it here;  http://www.wnd.com/2013/02/black-mob-beats-man-until-skull-broke/

So what happens when a race makes up a small percentage of the population but ends up committing the vast majority of the crimes?  Can you say anything?  Or if you did would you be called a racist?

It is simply getting harder to argue the fact that the black community of America is seething and simmering.

One commentator suggested that “Race has nothing to do with it.” While another, Mary Stokes, said white people have their criminal problems too:

“My skin is the same color as the fertile earth, a better thing to have than skin the color of bloody spit which is good for absolutely NOTHING, albinoid. Now tell me how the hell are their (sic) ANY whites on welfare, in prisons, in jails, homeless on the street begging for money and food, rummaging through garbage for food, shooting up their spawn in classrooms, in movie theaters, why are white males the ONLY males in America that go into places of worship and kill people with guns and bombs???

“Why are whites the only group in North America that created a promotional group for those who want to commit child molestation (aka NAMBLA)? All in a country that was TAILOR MADE for Whites MAXIMAL Development and Success at the expense of others and with a 200 hundred year head start over Blacks and Native Americans. When you have some REAL answers for why whites are like that, then you can pretend to ‘teach’ me about blacks or anyone else, you stupid pale freak of nature.”

Wow!  That really sounds like she is seething....

A 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 — and, in certain years, as many as 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other blacks. The analysis, supported by FBI records, finds that in 2005 alone, for example, African Americans accounted for 49% of all homicide victims in the US — again, almost exclusively at the hands of other African Americans.

"The vast majority. Well outside the 40 percent of the population it should be. In 2009, the City of Cincinnati did not have a single white victim of a homicide. (That) tells me that we have a subset in the underclass of Cincinnati which is committing a lot of violent crime and they tend to be black. And the reality is, you almost always commit murder within your racial classifications. So when we’ve got a young black man up in the coroners office, it’s almost always a result of another young black man shooting him.”

That same year, 2009, no white men were killed in Cincinnati, but 44 black males and 11 females were the victims of homicide in the city.

 

Here;  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/04/09/race-wars-part-1-the-shocking-data-on-black-on-black-crime/

 

Have we become so politically correct that we can't talk about 12.5% of the population committing a majority of the crime and then figuring out why and what can be done?

 

Yes....we have become that politically incorrect.  We can't talk about it.

"Don't Judge Lest Ye Be Judged!"

Has anyone ever shouted these words at you, "Don't judge lest ye be judged!"?

That verse is probably one of the most quoted verses in the entire Bible....and is even used by atheists and the unsaved.

Why?

Because everyone wants to do whatever they want and whatever feels good and they don't want anyone to tell them that ANYTHING THEY FEEL LIKE DOING IS NOT OK.

So if you want to engage in gay sex, obviously out of wedlock.....DON'T JUDGE!

If you want to have sex outside of wedlock....DON'T JUDGE!

If you want to gorge 15,000 calories per day and be consumed by gluttony....DON'T JUDGE!

IF you want to divorce your wife because you are no longer happy.....DON'T JUDGE!

If you want to surf porn and let your mind play with naked women.....DON'T JUDGE!

If you enjoy Friday and Saturday drunkenness.....DON'T JUDGE!

I was at the grocery store the other day when I was unexpectedly confronted with an adult-oriented magazine located right next to the vitamin section. I immediately had to look away from the front cover, which featured a scantily clad, seductively posed, sex symbol. Yet it was only a few weeks ago that I read an article about how this same sex symbol loves to speak in tongues and has to restrain herself from outbursts in tongues while attending church services. What?

This is actually a perfect illustration of American charismatic Christianity, where you can say you love Jesus (like the rapper “The Game” claims to do) and still frequent strip clubs (as “The Game” still does), or where you can flow in the gifts of the Spirit and become a made-for-TV preaching sensation, only to announce that God told you that you married the wrong woman, leading to a quick divorce and remarriage.

Yes, this is the “gospel” of the 21st century, “Spirit-filled” church of America, where the cross is bypassed, denial of the flesh is scorned, purity is called legalism, and anything goes if it feels good.

It is the “gospel” of self, in which Jesus dies to make you into a bigger and better you, a “gospel” in which God is here to serve you and help you fulfill your dreams, and where the measure of all things is not how God feels about it but how you feel about it (or how it makes you feel).

Today, in some charismatic circles, you can be a Christian gangster—or, at least, a tongue-talking, seductive starlet, or a Christian lingerie model, or a strip-club-attending, Jesus-speaking rapper, just to mention a few. After all, as we are reminded day and night, “Who are you to judge?”

Actually, what Jesus taught was that we should not judge hypocritically or superficially or unjustly and that we should not condemn. But Jesus also said, “Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment” (John 7:24). The Lord commands us to judge, as long as we do it rightly.

Paul taught the very same thing, writing to the Corinthians, “not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?” (1 Cor. 5:11-12)

Here;  http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/38090-sex-symbols-who-speak-in-tongues?

What did you say Paul??  You mean we ARE SUPPOSED TO JUDGE THOSE IN THE CHURCH??

Yes, of course we are!

If you pastor is having an affair....you judge him.
If your elder is embezzling money....you judge him.
If your deacon is drunk all over town....you judge him.
If your worship leader leaves her husband for a woman....you judge her.
If your Moderator has a food-gluttony problem....you judge her.

Of course, people have a real problem with the word "judge".  They think of someone banging a gavel and saying, "Guilty!  Now leave here and go to hell!"

No.  It is possible to judge someone because you love them...and even more importantly, you love the church and don't want her dragged through the mud.

"Dennis....I have known you for 15 years and what you are doing is not right in the eyes of your family, in the eyes of your friends and most importantly...in the eyes of God.  Unless you quit immediately and publicly repent of this very public sin....you can no longer be a deacon at this church.  In fact you can no longer be a part of this church and we would ask that you would resign your membership and leave....unless you repent right now."

How many churches have all of you been a part of where they actually exercise CHURCH DISCIPLINE?  Not many, I would bet.

No wonder the Bride of Christ has been held up for such public mockery.  We are ignoring the difficult parts of scripture because we want to believe that UNITY trumps everything...including repentance and the clear words of the Gospel.

Egypt's Collapse Would Devastate Region

As the political turmoil in Egypt continues, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she's concerned about an Egyptian military official's assertion that the current situation could lead to the collapse of the Egyptian state.

"I think that would lead to incredible chaos and violence on a scale that would be devastating for Egypt and the region," Clinton said in a CNN interview Tuesday at the State Department. "There has to be some understanding by the new government that the aspirations that the people were expressing during the revolution in Egypt have to be taken seriously. And it - it cannot in any way be overlooked that there is a large number of Egyptians who are not satisfied with the direction of the economy and the political reform."

"I think the messages and the action coming from the (Egyptian) leadership has to be changed in order to give people confidence that they're on the right path to the kind of future they seek," she said.
The U.S. secretary of state said she knows it's not an easy transition.

"It's very difficult going from a closed regime and ... essentially one-man rule, to a democracy that is trying to be born and learn to walk. But there are some clear lessons."

Clinton, who will retire from her position at the end of the week, spent a few tense hours with Morsy last November as the Egyptian president worked with the Israeli government and the leadership of Hamas to broker a cease-fire between the Israelis and the Islamic movement in Gaza.

Here;  http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/30/clinton-warns-egypt-collapse-would-devestate-the-region/?iref=obinsite

It is interesting to watch all the chaos in virtually ALL the nations and peoples surrounding Israel.

It makes one look closer at Psalm 83 and wonder if these nations are ALREADY being destroyed right in front of our eyes?

"May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.  Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord--that you alone are the Most High over all the earth."  Psalm 83:17

Wow...that will certainly be something....when all those Muslims realize that Allah is NOT the Most High!...and that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob actually IS THE MOST HIGH!

Organization of Islamic Cooperation

Is there really anything good going on in the Islamic world? 

Syria is butchering women and children and will soon collapse.  Egypt has been over run by Muslim Brotherhood and may soon go bankrupt and collapse.  Lebanon is tenuous.  Jordan is going to be swamped by 700,000 Syrian refugees and also by thousands of Palestinians looking for a better life, and will not have much luck in Jordan.  Saudi Arabia is a mess.  Mali is a mess.  Somalia is a mess.  Libya is a mess.  Sudan is a mess.

The messy list continues to basically every Muslim nation.

So why would anyone join the Organization of Islamic Cooperation?  What could they possibly have to offer?

 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Cairo on Tuesday, marking the first visit to Egypt by an Iranian president since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, Egyptian television footage showed.

Egypt's Islamist President Mohamed Morsi gave Ahmadinejad a red-carpet welcome on the tarmac at Cairo airport, shaking the Iranian's hand and exchanging a kiss on each cheek as a military honor guard stood at attention.

Ahmadinejad, who is on a three-day visit, will attend an Organization of Islamic Cooperation conference in Cairo and will hold talks with Egyptian officials, Iranian media said ahead of the trip.

The trip follows a visit by Egypt's Islamist President Mohamed Morsi to Iran in August last year, when the two leaders agreed to reopen official embassies.

Tehran broke off relations with Cairo in 1980, a year after both Iran's revolution and Egypt's peace agreement with Israel.

The trip is likely to be closely watched by Sunni Gulf nations, chief among them Saudi Arabia, who is staunchly opposed to Iran's regional policies and deeply wary of the Shiite nation.

Egypt's fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, has signaled that relations with Iran could one day be upgraded to full diplomatic ties. The president himself, however, has stressed that the security of the Sunni Gulf nations, of which Egypt has relied upon for financial aid to help prop up its faltering economy, is directly linked to Cairo's own.

Here;  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4341307,00.html

Well, isn't that special that the Shiite Persian leader, Ahmadinejad, is going to have some great meetings with the Sunni Egyptian leader who just happens to be a member of a recognized terrorist organization.

Can I just offer an idea at what MAY BE the point of agreement that all attenders will agree on at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation?....the destruction of Israel and the need to kill Jews.

Isn't that lovely.

North Korea Nuke Test is "Imminent"

What is up with the Gopher-in-a-Pantsuit's son....Kim Jong Un? 

Why does he want to keep exploding nukes even though the world doesn't want him to?

Who is going to stop him?

And most importantly, how could the North Koreans NOT LIKE OBAMA?  Didn't they read his 'reset button' speech where he promised to lead from behind and not be so pushy as other previous presidents?

The North says the "higher level" test is part of its military deterrent in its confrontation with the United States, which it describes as "the sworn enemy of the Korean people."

Its declaration that it would carry out the test came just two days after the United Nations Security Council voted in favor of imposing broader sanctions on the regime in response to Pyongyang's long-range rocket launch in December that was widely viewed as a test of ballistic missile technology.

Kim Jong Un appears likely to shrug off pressure from most of the international community, including North Korea's main ally, China, and go ahead with a third test.

 

"Neither the prospect of stronger sanctions, nor the growing discontent of Russia and China with his behavior, appears to deter North Korea's young leader," George Lopez, professor of peace studies at the Kroc Institute, University of Notre Dame, wrote in an opinion article this week for CNN.

 

Under the North's power-driven ideology of songun, or "military first," the punishment meted out last month by the U.N. Security Council requires a strong response, according to Daniel Pinkston, senior analyst for the International Crisis Group covering Northeast Asia.

 

North Korea "sees international law, international institutions, collective security, arms control and any other cooperative arrangement as undesirable and as schemes to undermine their national security," Pinkston said in a recent blog post.

 

A new test will also give North Korea a chance to underscore advances in its nuclear program, potentially moving it closer to a nuclear weapon that it can mount on a long-range missile.

 

Here;  http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/05/world/asia/north-korea-nuclear-test-explainer/index.html

 

Nuclear weapons on a long-range missile??....that sounds dangerous!!

 

"George Lopez, professor of peace studies at the Kroc Institute, University of Notre Dame"...that sounds funny!!

 

Now read about this video that North Korea released showing New York in rubble while the hit song, "We Are the World" plays in the background.

 

North Korea, already gearing up for yet another nuclear test, has posted a bizarre online video depicting New York under an apparent missile attack with "We Are the World" serving as a soundtrack.

The three-minute video posted on YouTube on Saturday was released by Uriminzokkiri, which distributes news and propaganda from North Korea’s state-run media. It features a young man in a dream sequence in which he sees himself aboard a North Korean space shuttle launched into orbit by the same type of rocket Pyongyang successfully launched in December. A densely populated city, which is shrouded in a U.S. flag, is then depicted to the tune of “We Are the World,” the charity single recorded in 1985.

People will ask, "How could North Korea be so dumb?  Don't they realize that they need to be part of the global community in order to thrive and prosper?"

 

Of course not.  Their leaders have been given over to Satan.  How else can you explain the bizarre behavior, the hatred towards Christians and the lethal electric fence surrounding their country?

 

Their own people are eating each other as they continue to starve to death....while their leaders plan nuclear explosions and make videos about attacking New York.

 

And who is going to stop them? 

 

America is broke and certainly can not afford too many more foreign adventures.  Plus our people are kind of at the point where we are sick of war and using threats of violence to convince other nations to agree with us.

 

Can't we all just join hands and sing, "All we are saying....is give peace a chance!"?  (Please remember to sway back and forth while singing)

 

The world is CERTAINLY looking for, and certainly needs, a Man Of Peace to come riding in on a white horse and sign some peace agreements!!

 

I'm guessing when the Antichrist shows up...the world will welcome him just like the Bible says.

Even The Women Are Perverts

Women are supposed to be the fairer sex...the sex that keeps men from turning into uncouth, uncivilized animals.

But what happens to society when the women turn into drunken-whores who can't save a dime and use abortion as a form of birth control?

Of the 3,600 readers questioned, 72 per cent said they regret at least one person they dated in their twenties while 77 per cent wished they'd never had a one-night stand. Thirty per cent said they were ashamed to admit they'd slept with a stranger when drunk.

More than half, 54 per cent, said they had unprotected sex - with 12 per cent catching an STD as a result and 61 per cent have either had an abortion or know someone who has.

A shocking 20 per cent confessed to trying to do their job while drunk. Alcohol was also to blame for many other regrets. Seventy-five per cent had done something drunk that they wouldn’t do sober while 77 per cent risked their safety after one too many.

Financially, 61% spend more than they earn and nearly half have no savings.

When Apostle Paul talks about how far a society has fallen and how close they are to God's righteous judgment, he says, "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.  Even the women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones."  Romans 1:26

As you read the article, you will realize that many "civilized" societies of the world, including ours, have rejected God for so long that it appears that maybe God has already withdrawn from many.

What will happen when God withdraws?

It won't be pretty.

 

Nine Major Quakes in Five Days

Yes, yes....I am well aware of the argument being said that there are really no more quakes than usual, but the DETECTION of them by thousands of monitors all over the earth just make us MORE AWARE of every single tremor that happens.

And that's fine....either way, we were told to watch for increasing earthquakes, and the news is definitely keeping us appraised of lots of quakes and the related volcanoes.

February 2, 2013 – EARTH – An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 struck off the coast of the Solomon Islands (Santa Cruz) in the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Friday. The quake was later downgraded by the USGS to a 6.3 magnitude event. The depth of the quake was 10 km (6.2 miles) and the epicenter was 68 km southwest of Lata. The quake hit at 9:16 a.m. local time on Saturday. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not immediately issue any alerts on its website. This quake was underscored by an even stronger 6.9 magnitude earthquake that just struck the Hokkaido region of East Japan on February 2nd. This is the ninth major earthquake to strike the planet in the last five days. The present cluster of earthquakes began with a 6.0 event in Eastern Kazakhstan on January 28th, following a full moon on January 27, 2013. Perhaps, it may not be readily apparent to most that our planet appears to now be inching towards the spectrum of some major cataclysmic event. This approaching black swan occurrence is characterized by the gradual escalation of geological activity of a violent seismic and volcanic nature. 44 volcanic eruptive events have already been recorded for the month of January; where there was only 77 chronicled for the entire year of 2012.

"There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of birth pain," said Jesus in Matthew 24

Birth pain?  What's it going to give birth to?

Answer;  The Millenial Kingdom on earth, also known as The 1000 Year Reign of Christ.

So what has to happen before a baby comes out of a woman?

Answer;  lots of blood, mucous, vicious contractions and afterbirth accompanied with an incredible amount of pain.

So are things going to get a lot worse on earth before the Kingdom can enter in?

Answer;  Yes....much, much worse.

"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, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."  Jesus--Matthew 24:21

Holy carnage!!  No humans would survive on all the earth unless Jesus returns to put an end to the carnage himself!!

As we watch all these things unfold and HOPE for the rapture, please remember the promise that we followers of Christ ARE NOT APPOINTED to receive the wrath of God. Amen!

1 Thessalonians 1:10

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

History Won't Forgive Israel

We have more headlines today regarding the Israeli bombing strikes inside Syria.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday condemned the alleged Israeli strikes in Syria last week, while at the same time questioning Iran's involvement in the Syrian crisis, Turkish daily Hürriyet reported.

"Those who treated the Israeli government like a spoiled child should know that history will not forgive Israel’s state structure," he said.

While slamming Israel for the strike, Erdogan also noted that Iran should first of all "reconsider its attitude against Syria."

"What is Iran doing about Syria? While considering the acts of Israel, Iran at the same time needs to allow for common steps to be taken in the region," he added.

Earlier Sunday, Syrian President Bashar Assad accused Israel of trying to destabilize his country by attacking a military research base outside Damascus last week, and said Syria was able to confront "current threats... and aggression" against it.

US sources said that Israeli warplanes struck a convoy carrying anti-aircraft missiles last Wednesday; Israel has declined to confirm or deny the report, and western sources have speculated that the convoy's weapons were destined for Hezbollah. Syria, which initially denied the incident, later said the target was a scientific research facility.

On Saturday, a Syrian military source told opposition website Al-Hakika that Syrian President Bashar Assad has no intention of responding to the purported Israeli strike on a weapons convoy last week due to the weakened state of his army after almost two years of battling rebels inside the country.

Erdogen is right....the world will never forgive, forget or accept Israel.  The spirit of the Antichrist will make sure of that.
