Anti-Semitism Stirs in Latin America

Here you go folks...one more major sign that Satan is getting ready to rumble.  Jew hatred is breaking out like aggressive cancer all over the world.  What else can explain why the world hates Jews except to understand that they are God's chosen people and the Prince of this world hates them?

Here:  http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/16/opinion/enrique-krauze-anti-semitism-stirs-in-latin-america.html?_r=0

MEXICO CITY — Besides its grim toll in human misery and ever more bitter divisions, the war in Gaza has awakened the sleeping monster of anti-Semitism in Europe. I would not say the same for Latin America, though there are signs that the beast is perhaps stirring.
Some Latin American governments have signaled their dissatisfaction with Israel’s actions. Chile and Brazil have recalled their ambassadors, Fidel Castro has accused the Israelis of genocide, and governments favorably disposed to Venezuela’s populist revolution have all publicly condemned Israel for the war.
While such political rejection is not anti-Semitic, something new is emerging in Spanish-language social media, mostly among young people, where condemnation of Israel is often accompanied by anti-Semitic diatribes. Latin America is not particularly anti-Semitic, but there is a danger it may become so.
In 1938, Jorge Luis Borges described Argentine anti-Semitism as “facsimile” anti-Semitism, based on European models. This had been true for decades, not only in Argentina but elsewhere in Latin America, where anti-Semitism was based on two imported hatreds: the ancient anti-Judaism of the Spanish Catholic tradition and the modern European racism of the 19th and 20th centuries. In recent years, however, such feelings have been heightened by a third influence — the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — and developed into a new, unexpected prejudice: an anti-Semitism of the left.
From the earliest days of the Conquest in the 16th century until the middle of the 17th century, waves of Jewish immigrants from Spain and Portugal arrived in the New World. Since Judaism and Islam were banned on the Iberian Peninsula after its reconquest by Christian armies, these immigrants were known as “conversos,” or converts, who often masked their continued practice of Judaism and thus were called “marranos,” or secret Jews.
The scholar Jonathan Israel has described this early migration to the New World and its effects. These educated exiles established an impressive financial and commercial net that spanned continents. But when they were cut down in the 17th century by the Inquisition, these generations vanished from popular memory, leaving only a few cultural traces, like the many largely Portuguese Jewish names that are scattered across Latin America. Perhaps because of their rapid disappearance into the general population, no native variety of anti-Semitism toward them ever developed.

The War Zone in Ferguson, MO

No doubt most of you have been watching the riots that erupted in Missouri over the past 4-5 days.

A young black man was shot by the police and the black folks (70% of city is black) got mad and decided to get even with "the system" by destroying a QuikTrip convenience store and also looting some electronics store and a auto parts store!!

Nothing says "Justice for Michael!" like steeling some 24 inch chrome rims for your Chevy Caprice!!

Of course the police responded with tear gas, swat teams, military armored vehicles and riot police....but hey, if you got it, you may as well flaunt it!

So what's really going on here?

Race against race and the militarization of our police force.

Should this surprise us?

Nope!

Jesus said in the Last Days there would be nation against nation (race against race)....and certainly as times get more scary you will see people start to be drawn to their various tribes/groups for strength.
The blacks, the Latinos, the Somalis, etc...  One group doesn't trust the other group so tensions build and then something triggers an explosion.

The blacks in Ferguson, MO are poor.  Whose fault is it?  Well, 70% of the black babies are born with no fathers and we KNOW that single mothers have a 90% chance of ending up on welfare....so figure it out...whose fault is it?  The black community is having a societal breakdown caused by rampant immorality...and they want to blame their family problems on someone else.

"But Dennis, there was slavery and ill treatment of blacks here in America!"

Yep.  Time to get over that.  Playing the VICTIM CARD for decades starts to get really old.

The Jews had a holocaust 70 years ago and had ALL THEIR STUFF taken from them by every country in the world!!....and we don't hear them complaining about fairness.

Now the story is coming out that the Ferguson police shot this boy after he was involved in a "strong arm robbery"....meaning he stole something from a store and when the clerk confronted him he hit the clerk.

Of course the black community is refusing to believe this story.

A suburban St. Louis police chief on Friday identified the officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager ignited days of heated protests, and released documents alleging the teen was killed after a robbery in which he was suspected of stealing a $48.99 box of cigars.

Ferguson, Mo., Police Chief Thomas Jackson said that the robbery took place just before noon on Saturday at a nearby convenience store roughly 10 minutes before a police officer identified as Darren Wilson fired the bullet that killed Michael Brown. Police say that the shot was fired after a struggled touched off by Wilson's confronting Brown. Jackson said Wilson is a six-year veteran with no disciplinary action on his record.

The news conference came after nearly a week of sometimes-violent protests and calls by many, including President Obama, for local law enforcement to be more transparent about the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Police previously said they withheld Wilson's identity because of the potential for threats on the officer and his family. The officer has been on administrative leave since the shooting.

Police released still images and were planning to release video from the robbery, at a QuikTrip store in Ferguson. Jackson said Wilson, along with other officers, were called to the area after a 911 call reporting a "strong-arm robbery" at a nearby convenience store. He didn't immediately release details about the alleged robbery, saying more information would be released later.

"Dennis, YOU ARE A RACIST!"

Ummm...no I'm not.  I don't like thugs who walk around with their pants on the ground, refusing to get jobs and claiming that someone else OWES them food, clothing a shelter...I DON"T CARE WHAT COLOR THEY ARE!

Ferguson, MO is most likely a foreshadowing of what is coming for Los Angeles, Oakland, Atlanta, St. Paul, Houston...and probably a city near you.

What will trigger it?  Could be lots of things....but having food prices skyrocket while the Foodstamps Program stays static, might be one flash point.  People tend to get angry when you stop feeding them.

P.S.  If you still believe I'm a racist please read this commentary about Ferguson and black violence written by a black woman.  http://conservativeblackchick.com/blog/2014/08/15/death-of-black-teen-michael-brown-incites-another-race-war/

I believe it is harder to call a black person a racist.


Churches of America Not Preaching Truth

The facts in this article are TRAGIC!

Jesus asked us to be hot for the Kingdom and said if we become lukewarm that we will be spit out.  He also warns that if we cease to be salt and light that we are good for nothing...except to be trampled upon.

With all the things happening on planet earth that the Bible addresses....the pastors of America refuse to address it from the pulpit!!

Most pastors believe that the Bible addresses the current issues of the day, but few speak about them from behind the pulpit, according to a recent study from a prominent research organization.

George Barna was a guest on the American Family Radio program “Today’s Issues” on Thursday, where he explained a research project that he has been working on for the past two years. 

In his study, Barna’s organization asked pastors across the country about their beliefs regarding the relevancy of Scripture to societal, moral and political issues, and the content of their sermons in light of their beliefs.

“‘What we’re finding is that when we ask them about all the key issues of the day, [90 percent of them are] telling us, ‘Yes, the Bible speaks to every one of these issues,” he explained. “Then we ask them: ‘Well, are you teaching your people what the Bible says about those issues?’ and the numbers drop…to less than 10 percent of pastors who say they will speak to it.”

Barna’s group also polled pastors about what factors they use to gauge whether or not a church is successful.

“There are five factors that the vast majority of pastors turn to,” he outlined. “Attendance, giving, number of programs, number of staff, and square footage.”

“What I’m suggesting is [those pastors] won’t probably get involved in politics because it’s very controversial. Controversy keeps people from being in the seats, controversy keeps people from giving money, from attending programs,” Barna said

Pastor Chuck Baldwin, a radio broadcaster and former presidential candidate, commented on the study in an article published on Friday entitled Odds Are that Your Pastor is Keeping the Truth from You Instead of Preaching It. He opined that Barna’s research shows that most pastors deliberately choose not to speak on the issues of the day despite knowing that the Bible speaks to them.

“That 90% of America’s pastors are not addressing any of the salient issues affecting Christian people’s political or societal lives should surprise no one,” he wrote. “It has been decades since even a sizable minority of pastors have bothered to educate and inform their congregations as to the Biblical principles relating to America’s political, cultural and societal lives.”

“Please understand this: America’s malaise is directly due to the deliberate disobedience of America’s pastors—and the willingness of the Christians in the pews to tolerate the disobedience of their pastor. Nothing more! Nothing less!” Baldwin continued. “When Paul wrote his own epitaph, it read, ‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.’ (II Timothy 4:7) He didn’t say, ‘I had a large congregation, we had big offerings, we had a lot of programs, I had a large staff, and we had large facilities.’”

“It is time for Christians to acknowledge that these ministers are not pastors; they are CEOs. They are not Bible teachers; they are performers. They are not shepherds; they are hirelings,” he said. “It is also time for Christians to be honest with themselves: do they want a pastor who desires to be faithful to the Scriptures, or do they want a pastor who is simply trying to be ‘successful?’”

Here: http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/2014/August14/145.html#BDHvVTGGIl5Am37g.99.

Did you get that?!?  If not, I will copy it in bold again;
“What I’m suggesting is [those pastors] won’t probably get involved in politics because it’s very controversial. Controversy keeps people from being in the seats, controversy keeps people from giving money, from attending programs,” Barna said

Wow!!  The world is coming apart with violence, Israel is surrounded, perversion is exploding, the global economy is on the edge, race relations are boiling over....the Bible addresses it all and yet the ministers REFUSE to feed it to their flocks!!!

Why??  They want to keep people in their seats and have their programs attended!!!

Is your church guilty?  Is my church guilty?  Are WE guilty?

Revelation 3
15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

Check Out the Red Heifer

For those of us who are followers of Christ, we don't need Temples, sacrifices, red heifers, and Jewish things....BUT...if you are Jewish and NOT a follower of Christ you might be excited about the prospects of a Temple being built in Jerusalem.

You may also be excited about the fact that a red heifer was born in America and is being raised by Jewish custom and is currently a candidate to be used as a sacrifice in the yet-to-be-built 3rd Temple.

Check out this video here;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAoFbA6cr8

The Jews don't believe that Jesus was messiah....so they are still looking for him to come for the first time.  Sadly, prophecy leads us to believe that many of them will be deceived by the Antichrist during the first 3 1/2 years of the final 7 years, aka The 70th Week of Daniel.

3 1/2 years into the final 7 years, the Antichrist will go into the yet-to-be-built 3rd Temple and will do something heinous...probably declaring himself to be God.  Jesus warned them of this day over 2000 years ago in Matthew 24.

So while we don't need red heifers, the Jews know there have only been 9 of them throughout world history that have qualified to be burned for their ashes.

Many of them also understand that many of the signs they are seeing are pointing to the Last Days when messiah will come....so you can see how for us Christians watching this all, it might be one more sign pointing to how close the rapture and Tribulation actually are.

Exciting times!!


Numbers 19
19 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2 “This is a requirement of the law that the Lord has commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke. 3 Give it to Eleazar the priest; it is to be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence. 4 Then Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting. 5 While he watches, the heifer is to be burned—its hide, flesh, blood and intestines. 6 The priest is to take some cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer. 7 After that, the priest must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water. He may then come into the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean till evening. 8 The man who burns it must also wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he too will be unclean till evening.

9 “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelite community for use in the water of cleansing; it is for purification from sin. 10 The man who gathers up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he too will be unclean till evening. This will be a lasting ordinance both for the Israelites and for the foreigners residing among them.

Detroit Slammed by Record Rainfall

Poor Detroit.  Less than 1/3 of their street lights work, entire neighborhoods are sitting vacant, taxes for the people remaining are going to head through the roof, pensions are failing, police are vacating....and now on top of it all they get the most rain EVER!

Historic rain event slams metro Detroit

A historic rain event is now winding down across metro Detroit, but the damage has been done.

Earlier Monday afternoon, a batch of moderate rain was moving northward through the area. Rain was ending just south of the state line, and that was moving north, too. While we knew that some areas in southern Monroe and Lenawee counties have received 1 to 3 inches of rain, it was felt that we could handle that.

But what came next was NOT expected: Back in the area where the rain had ended, a second batch of even heavier rain developed out of nowhere and parked itself right over the heart of the metro area -- you can see that on this radar image that I tweeted out at 6:15 p.m. By that time, it became apparent that an extremely heavy amount of total rain was going to fall on the core of our freeway system, and the National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning.

I have lived my entire life and worked my entire career here, and I have never seen as widespread a flooding event.

Yes, I vividly remember the May 2004 historic month of rain -- our second wettest month ever with 8.46 inches of rain -- but that was a bunch of rainy days that really added up.

I also remember some individual intense thunderstorms that flooded ONE freeway. But I don't ever remember EVERY freeway being flooded out.

Funny how catastrophes are NEVER expected.

Interesting how the heaviest rain 'developed out of nowhere."

Hmmmm........

Of course the liberals will read this article and scream "Global warming!  We need a carbon tax right now or we are all gonna die!"

The conservatives will read this and say, "That's why everyone should have good insurance!"

But the Bible readers will read this and say, "Just more evidence of the birth pangs Jesus said to watch for!"

ISIS is Beheading Lots of Folks

The Islamic State fighters (ISIS) are rampaging through Iraq and Syria basically killing anyone that gets in their way.

They seem to enjoy beheading people.  And now there are even reports from numerous sources that ISIS is beheading children.

WARNING GRAPHIC, RAW PHOTOS -- ISIS on Christians: 'There is nothing to give them but the sword'

The Islamic State has warned Christians, possibly for the last time, saying "there is nothing to give them but the sword." Across Northern Iraq, Christians are huddled in refugee camps, trapped in the desert, or trapped in their homes, waiting for death.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Although Christians have lived in northern Iraq and Syria for nearly two-thousand years, and at least six hundred years before Islam, today they face extinction across the region. 

"Our people are disappearing," Canon Andrew White, head of the Anglican Church in Iraq "It looks as though the end could be very near," he told the BBC.

A week ago, Christians were warned to either leave the city of Mosul and other areas under Islamic State control, or they would have to pay a tax or be put to death. Today, nobody has heard from those Christians and nobody knows what is happening to them. 

Are they being quietly "put to the sword" as this militant strain of Islam asks they be?

The Human Rights Watch reported on July 14 that homes in Mosul were painted with red letters to indicate Christian homes. Other homes of Shiite Muslims were also adorned. 

Christians who have escaped reported being deprived of all their belongings except their clothes. Jewelry, money, automobiles, even food and water were confiscated on the edge of town as Christians were forced to pass through Islamic State checkpoints. 

However, we know a number of Christians remained, for many reasons. Some were too destitute to travel or had weak and infirm family who could not make the desert trek to safety. 

Those that left were warned "don't even dream of returning."

For those that remain, they can almost certainly expect harsher treatment than that meted out to fellow Muslims at the hands of ISIS terrorists. 

Estimates hold that 200,000 Christians live in the region, however only a fraction of these have been accounted for. Where are all the missing Christians? Are they already being put to the sword? It's very possible. 

Here;  http://www.catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56339

Of course many in The West will look at this news and say, "It's sad BUT it's not our problem!!  We can't police the whole world against bad people doing bad things!"

They do have a point.  We stood by in Rwanda and let a whole society hack each other to death with machetes, rape the mothers in front of their kids...and did nothing.

We have let some crazy folks butcher lots of other folks in Congo.

We have let North Korea keep a million people in concentration camps where people eat dead babies to avoid starvation.

You see, even 30 years ago most of us would have NEVER heard anything about the atrocities that are happening around the world....but today with Facebook and other social media, we have instant access to photos and video of people sawing heads off with steak knives while the victim blubbers in terror and agony as their head SLOWLY gets sawed off.

Can we really turn the other cheek?  Can we really just ignore the plight of these victims?  Can we really let Muslims butcher hundreds of thousands of Christians and brag about it on Facebook?

Or will we get drawn into the Muslim world to, once again, try and stop the butchers?

Now hear is the sad truth;  The forces of Islam that are responsible for these atrocities are Muslims being led by Satanic forces.  And how does The West go about fighting Satan with guns and bullets?

As The West abandons Jesus, scoffs at the Bible, erases the 10 Commandments and mocks the supernatural....how capable are we going to be to fight spiritual battles?

ISIS Tells World That They Are Coming

The Islamic State (formerly known as ISIS) tells the entire world that they are coming.  What do they want?  Convert to Islam, submit to sharia law....or die.

Video released by the Islamic State (IS) group has shown militants celebrating and raising the black IS flag over buildings and facilities in a number of key Iraqi locations under their control.
The militants took control of Mosul in June, and captured a string of towns and Iraq's largest hydroelectric dam and reservoir in recent weeks.
In the video, armed militants of the Islamic State group stand by a tank, holding weapons as one declares to the camera: "Our message to the entire world is that we are the soldiers of the Caliphate state and we are coming."
Pushing southward from Mosul, they swept over Sunni-majority towns almost to Iraq's capital of Baghdad, and now hold large parts of western Iraq as well as swaths of neighbouring Syria.
Iraqi government forces crumbled in the face of the assault but have since been able to prevent the militants from advancing into Shiite-majority areas.
Reports coming from Iraq are telling us that IS is so brutal that they are beheading children and putting their heads on poles around Mosul.
No doubt this group is being powered by Satanic forces.  Ultimately they want to destroy Israel.

Mark of the Beast Draws Near

Revelation is clear that during the Tribulation, after followers of Christ have been caught up in the rapture, people left on earth will need to take some type of mark on their arm or forehead in order to buy or sell anything.  For those who do get the mark, it will forever tie them to Satan and the antichrist.  For those who refuse and are caught, they will lose their lives.

Even 30 years ago this was thought to be an impossible future event, but with technology available today it's totally possible.

Should you so wish, you can now forget about securing your mobile phone by using a password or passcode that you need to always remember. Google and Motorola have partnered together to get you a memory free and more secure alternative: a digital tattoo (placed on the lower part of your arm, close to your wrist) that simply unlocks your phone once you place your phone on it. This feature is currently available for users of Motorola’s ‘Moto-X’ mobile phone brand.

In an analysis of this recent development, Betanews.com quotes Motorola’s announcement of this new technology “brought to life for Moto X by Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group and VivaLnk Inc.” The company further explains: "…made of super thin, flexible materials, based on VivaLnk's eSkinTM technology, each digital tattoo is designed to unlock your phone with just a touch of your Moto X to the tattoo, no passwords required. The nickel-sized tattoo is adhesive, lasts for five days, and is made to stay on through showering, swimming, and vigorous activities like jogging. And it’s beautiful -- with a shimmering, intricate design".

According to Smithsonianmag.com, the digital tattoos ($10 for a pack of 10) contain a near field communication (NFC) chip. NFC is a wireless transmission standard that allows small packets of information—an identification code, in this case—to pass between devices over short distances using very little power. Linking a digital tattoo to a phone is fairly simple. Once the Moto X’s internal NFC radio detects a new tattoo, it initiates a quick setup. Users repeat this process every time they change their tattoo.
