Is Obama Going to Divorce Israel?

Bible readers know that the entire Bible centers around the story and nation of Israel.  God made an eternal covenant with them and after the Rapture of the church the 70th week of years (read Daniel) will commence when the Antichrist signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel that offers them protection from her enemies.

People who don't know their Bibles look at the tiny nation of Israel and it's 7 million people and say, "What they heck do they have to do with anything?  Who cares??  Give the Palestinians a nation and take the land from Israel if that's what USA tells them to do."

Sadly, there is ZERO evidence that Team Obama reads, understands and believes their Bibles.

Because of this, USA will suffer.

God is clear that all the nations of the world will one day be judged for HOW they treated Israel and HOW they attempted to divide up God's Promised Land.

The Nations Judged
3 “In those days and at that time,
    when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial
    for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
    and divided up my land.

Today we find evidence that Team Obama is not only going to continue putting pressure on Israel, but they may be getting ready to divorce her from the special relationship we have had as nations.

(Central Israel) -- Is a divorce coming between the President of the United States and the State of Israel?

Once, it would have been almost preposterous even to ask such a question. Today, however, it feels like it's a matter of "when," not "if" Mr. Obama will formally abandon American support for the Jewish State. And the situation is rapidly going from bad to worse.

Readers of this blog may recall that I posted this column on January 14, 2015: "Will President Obama abandon or fully turn against Israel in last two years in office, amidst ISIS & Iran threats? Exclusive poll results." According an exclusive poll I commissioned late last year, a remarkable 47.4% of Americans fear the President will turn against Israel soon given that he won't ever face the voters again. I suspect the number would be much higher today

For an American President, or Congress, or the American people to turn against Israel and the Jewish people would be more than bad policy or unfortunate politics. According to Bible prophecy, such moves would pose an existential threat to the future of the United States.

In Genesis 12:1-3, the Lord God vows that He will bless those who bless Israel and the Jewish people, and curse those who curse them. 

In Joel 3:2, the Lord God warns that He will bring into judgment "all the nations" who "divide My land," the Land of Israel. 

In Ezekiel 38-39, the Lord God warns that a group of nations led by Russia (Magog) and Iran (Persia) will form an alliance and attack Israel in the “last days,” andthat no nation will come to Israel’s defense -- indeed, Israel will be abandoned by all of its friends and allies when this terrible moment occurs. 

What's more, in Revelation 16, the Lord God warns that all nations will not simply abandon Israel but will eventually actively turn violent towards Israel and attack Israel and the Jewish people in the End of Days (the Battle of Har Meggido, the Mountain of Meggido, also known as the Battle of Armageddon). 

As noted at the NRB Convention, "the Bible teaches us that all nations will turn against Israel in the last days — and all nations will face judgment for it — but woe into us if it happens on our watch."

Have we come to that fateful moment? Not quite yet, but we are getting dangerously close. Even though 70% of Americans support Israel, we are watching the President:

negotiate an incredibly dangerous nuclear deal with Iran 

refuse to share the precise details of this deal with Israel, America’s most faithful and trusted ally in the region 

treat the Israeli Prime Minister nearly as persona non grata 

send the VP and Secretary of State out of country to avoid seeing the Prime Minister 

send his political strategists and operatives to defeat the Prime Minister and his party in Israel’s recent elections 

seem to threaten revenge because the PM won reelection 

threaten to abandon Israel at the UN and allow anti-Israel resolutions to pass without an American veto 

threaten to force Israel to divide Jerusalem and roll back to her pre-1967 borders or face severe international consequences 

and now declassify details of Israel's top secret nuclear program in what is being described as an "unprecedented move" 

The above was taken from an email received from author, Joel Rosenberg.

Clearly, Obama believes he has the upper hand and the power to dictate to Israel what they WILL DO.

Clearly, Obama has no clue that he is wading into VERY dangerous territory when he believes HIS nation is more important than God's nation, Israel.

Please continue to pray for Team Obama and this nation.  Pray that Jesus Christ would intervene in Obama's life and remove the scales from his eyes.

No Murder Charge in Colorado Dead Baby Case

This will be our 3rd posting on this case but we believe it is worth it because it exposes how LOST the liberal world is and how deluded they can become without the fear of The Lord.

Death of baby cut from womb doesn't lead to murder charge

DENVER (AP) - A Colorado woman accused of cutting the unborn baby from an expectant mother's belly will not face murder charges in the gruesome attack that revived the highly charged debate over when a fetus can legally be considered a human being.

Prosecutors did not explain the decision Thursday or reveal what charges will be filed in the attack that killed the unborn baby girl. The mother, who was about eight months pregnant, survived and left the hospital Wednesday.

Dynel Lane, 34, lured Michelle Wilkins, 26, to her home March 18 with an ad on Craigslist selling baby clothes, investigators say. Inside, Lane stabbed Wilkins and removed the child, police say.

Lane had told her family she was pregnant, and when her husband came home early from work to meet her for a prenatal appointment, he found the infant in a bathtub, authorities said. Lane said she had a miscarriage, and he took them to the hospital, where the baby was pronounced dead.

Catherine Olguin, a spokeswoman for the Boulder County District Attorney's Office, said Thursday night that prosecutors won't bring a murder charge in the baby's death.

District Attorney Stan Garnett plans to give out more information Friday, and the coroner's office is expected to release the findings of an autopsy performed on the baby.

The case renewed the nationwide debate over bringing murder charges in the violent deaths of unborn children.

Even though the baby girl died, legal experts say the case is complicated by the fact that Colorado is one of 12 states that do not have a fetal homicide law. State lawmakers in 2013 voted down such a measure over fears it would interfere with abortion rights, and voters overwhelmingly agreed when they rejected a similar ballot measure in 2014.

Colorado legislators did pass a measure that makes it a felony to violently cause the death of a mother's fetus. The maximum punishment under that provision is 32 years in prison, whereas a person convicted of homicide in Colorado could face the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Advocates say the attack shows the need for a fetal homicide law.

Legal experts say a person can still be charged with homicide for an unborn child's death under existing Colorado law if the baby was alive outside the mother's body and the act that led to the death also occurred there.

Here;  http://www.9and10news.com/story/28628999/death-of-baby-cut-from-womb-doesnt-lead-to-murder-charge

Did you catch this sentence?  "Prosecutors did not explain the decision Thursday..."

The reason they didn't explain it is because there is NO LOGICAL explanation.  A healthy, happy baby was just sleeping in its mother's womb waiting for God to determine the day he would enter the world...when a woman ripped him out of the womb and violence which led to his untimely death.  It is murder...and unless this woman repents to Jesus for this murder, she will be held eternally responsible.

Of course Bible readers know why prosecutors didn't explain the decision....because they are terrified that this case will wake up too many people to the fact that abortion has many similarities to the above murder case.

A healthy, happy baby is just sleeping in its mother's womb waiting for the God to determine the day he will enter the world, when a doctor reaches a scissors and forceps up into the womb and cuts the baby into pieces before dragging it's limbs, head and torso out through the birth canal.  Of course this violence also led to the baby's untimely death.

Murder is murder because God says so.  It doesn't matter what man has made legal.

Did you know it was legal to murder Jews in Germany during the Holocaust?
Did you know it is legal to marry and have sex with 10 year old girls in Yemen?
Did you know it is legal to stone your wife to death in Somalia if she dishonors her husband?
Did you know it is legal in ISIS held territories to shoot a woman in the head if it's not covered?
Did you know it was legal in Rome to set babies outside for dogs to eat if you didn't want them?
Did you know it is legal to rip babies out of wombs in America if the mother doesn't want them?

As we said earlier....the blood of 50,000,000 murdered babies are screaming to their Creator..."Justice!!!"

Tsunami of Perversion Coming to America

Please remember friends, just because I post an article from the Huffington Post doesn't mean I am holding the Post up as a bastion of truth.  I just look at headlines and pluck out ones that are of interest to me and try to catch the pulse and mood of what is going on in our country and world.  I also like to see how the news in the article may plug into what the Word of God says is coming.

I saw this article on Charisma News and while I don't necessarily condone all that they report....this article caught my eye because we have blogged a lot on perversion that seems to be swamping our nation.

Some months ago—before the megachurch pastors starting to embrace practicing homosexuals into leadership and before the Presbyterian Church USA rewrote its constitution to define marriage as "between two people," the Holy Spirit gave me a disturbing word about the perversion we're about to see.

Notice I said "about to see." We're seeing the rapid rise of perversion even now but I believe this is just the beginning. We'll see the rise of false prophets who deceive many because, Jesus said, of the increase of wickedness (see Matt. 24:12). The mystery of lawlessness was working in Paul's day (see 2 Thess. 2:7) and that mystery is revealing the depth of its wicked plot in our day.

When I shared the prophetic word below with my intercessors, it troubled them. I understand why. It troubled me also. I decided to hold it back and pray it through but the Holy Spirit recently reminded me of these words again. These words should not breed fear but should open our eyes to what's coming, and what, in fact, is already beginning to manifest right before our eyes. Here is the word:

Calling Evil Good and Good Evil

"A tsunami of perversion and all manner of wicked sin is headed toward this nation. You've only yet seen the rumblings of what the enemy has planned. For many in your nation have called good evil and called evil good. Many in this nation have not believed you will reap what you sow.

"You have sown iniquity—for decades—and you have taken the hand of perversion. You have walked in step with abominations rather than resisting the temptations to deny my Word and my Son. The perversion in this land will increase and increase and increase.

"There will come a day when morality is no longer merely relative but is persecuted. There will come a day when evil is considered good and good is considered evil. When that day comes, those who are hidden in the shadow of My wings will be insulated from the abominations around them.

It's Not Just Sexual Perversion

Yes, we've seen the rumblings of this rising perversion but I believe it's going to grow darker still. When you think of perversion you probably immediately think of sexual perversion—and I believe that's part of it. The Bible has plenty to say about sexual perversion in Romans 1:21-28 alone and we're seeing that passage playing out right now.


But sexual immorality—polygamy, homosexuality, adultery, fornication and legal bestiality that I've so often addressed—is not the only kind of perversion. There's perversion of laws, perversion of justice, perversion of speech, perversion of freedom—and most importantly, perversion of God's Word. Apostasy is rising. The Great Falling Away is underway.

Our Only Hope Is a Great Awakening

Back in 2007, the Lord told me things in this nation would grow darker before His light shined brightly again. I believe things are on a course to grow very dark very rapidly. But I also believe in the power of prayer and faith-inspired action. I also believe in the power of preaching the gospel. I also believe God wants to bring transforming revival—a Third Great Awakening—to this nation.

It's up to us to stand in the gap. It's up to us to make up the hedge. It's up to us to weep between the porch and the altar. It's up to us to pray without ceasing. It's up to us to decree and declare God's will on the earth. It's up to us to speak the truth in love. It's up to us to take the gospel to our city. Yes, I believe it will grow darker and the perversion will rise, but I believe the glory of the Lord will rise and shine upon us again if we are faithful to obey His commands:

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For the darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord shall rise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you. The nations shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising" (Is. 60:1-3). Amen.

Soon our U.S. Supreme Court is going to rule on gay marriage in America.  There are already 37 states where it is legal and I'm going to take the Vegas odds that the Court is going to make it the law of the land in all 50 states.  By now they almost have to...because it's getting too difficult for the state's to figure out the coming problems of polygamy.

Notice one case I just read about that involved two lesbian women who were married in Florida where gay marriage is legal.  They moved to North Dakota and both women then planned to marry a man because in North Dakota gay marriage is NOT legal.  Once procuring their wedding license to one man each, they are planning a move back to Florida where they will then produce their FL marriage license that weds the lesbians and then their ND licenses that weds each lesbian to a man....SO WHAT IS FLORIDA GOING TO DO?  Polygamy isn't legal (yet) and here are the lesbians with legal licenses from two states!!!

There can be NO DOUBT...Polygamy is coming to America and there won't be a leg to stand on to stop it.

"But Dennis, I was just reading the Bible and King David had 6 boys from six different wives while he was living in Jerusalem!...and God seemed pleased with David.  So why the heck are we American men limited by law to only one wife?  What's it gonna hurt?  I can have one wife for cleaning, one wife for cooking and one special wife for the bedroom!!  Perfect bliss!"

I'll let you all ponder how you would answer the question above as you formulate YOUR response for WHY polygamy, gay marriage, bestiality, bastard children everywhere and the implosion of the traditional family will collapse America in an epic implosion.

And PLEASE try to formulate your answer in a non-judgmental way without referring to the Bible.

Last year 57% of all children born in America were to single mother's out of wedlock....bastards. This already IS the NEW NORMAL in America.

Andreas Lubitz, Deliberately Crashed Airbus Jet

So....this is terrifying.

The story coming out on the German plane crashing in France is intense.

One pilot excused himself and the 2nd pilot immediately locked him out of the cockpit and put the plane into a slow nose dive that crashed them all into a mountain.

On the recording you can hear the other pilot pounding on the door begging to be let back in while the passengers can be heard screaming as they realized their death was coming.

PARIS — The chief Marseille prosecutor handling the investigation of the crash of a Germanwings jetliner said on Thursday that evidence from the cockpit voice recorder indicated that the co-pilot had deliberately locked the captain out of the cockpit and steered the plane into its fatal descent.

“At this moment, in light of investigation, the interpretation we can give at this time is that the co-pilot through voluntary abstention refused to open the door of the cockpit to the commander, and activated the button that commands the loss of altitude,” the prosecutor, Brice Robin, said.

He said it appeared that the intention of the co-pilot, identified as Andreas Lubitz, had been “to destroy the aircraft.” He said that the voice recorder showed that the co-pilot had been breathing until before the moment of impact, suggesting that he was conscious and deliberate in bringing the plane down and killing 144 passengers and five other crew members in the French Alps on Tuesday.

The revelation that one of the pilots of the jetliner was locked out of the cockpit before it crashed, which was first reported in The New York Times, raised new and troubling questions on Thursday. Search teams continued to scour the rugged terrain of the French Alps for clues, and several other issues remained unclear on Thursday, including the identity of the captain and why he had left the cockpit.

The inquiry shows that the crash was intentional, Mr. Robin said, and he was considering changing his investigation from involuntary manslaughter to voluntary manslaughter.

He said there was no indication that it was a terrorist attack, and added that Mr. Lubitz was not known to law enforcement officials. After the news conference, the German interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, told reporters in Berlin that security officials had checked their records after Tuesday’s crash and found no indication that anyone on board had links to terrorism.

So sad for the families that have lost loved ones.  So senseless.

But WHY would a 28 year old pilot name Andreas want to kill himself and take 150 to the grave with him?

Did he just have a girl break up with him?
Did he just have a boy break up with him?
Was he a confused atheist?
Was he a Christian who lost his faith?
Was he a Muslim who found his faith?

It seems strange that if he was a Muslim killing people for his god, Allah, one would expect him to say "Allah Akbar!" as he saw the mountain approach and knew his death and meeting with Allah was imminent.  Instead they say he remained silent and his breathing never changed as he put the plane on it's death path.

Also, if he was a Muslim looking to cause chaos for planet earth and glory for his god Allah, why wouldn't he have tried to steer the plane into a city or town and see if he couldn't take out a few hundred or few thousand more?  Why just be satisfied with the 150 that he did kill?

Right now the reporters are digging through his life in his home town in Germany.  Don't be surprised if they find his lap top has RADICAL ISLAMIST SERMONS on it.

I will tell you one thing with 100% certainty...he DID NOT do this heinous act over his devotion to Jesus Christ.

I'm guessing Allah now has Andreas Lubitz exactly where he wants him today....suffering in a pit in hell being tormented by Allah's demons.  Just one other lost soul on the wide path that leads to destruction.

Please remember to add the families who lost loved ones to your prayer list and ask that Jesus could use this Satanic tragedy to lead people to Christ.

Who's Doing What to Whom in the Middle East?

No doubt it can be confusing to remember what Muslims hate other Muslims and why.  And then if you try and throw in all the countries of the Middle East that hate each other...you end up with 3-dimensional hatred...and you finally just throw your hands in the air and say, "Oprah...take me away!"

So lucky for you, I ran across this CHEAT SHEET that gives you the latest update on Muslims hating Muslims, Muslims hating Jews and Muslims hating America.

Here;  http://www.jewishpress.com/uncategorized/cheat-sheet-on-whos-doing-what-to-whom-in-the-middle-east/2015/03/25/

Notice this from the cheat sheet;

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan (and a few quiet others) have been urging U.S. President Barack Obama to climb down from his tree and listen to Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. There’s a reason for that.

A new radical Islamic axis is forming, one that is cuddling up to the Muslim Brotherhood. The once-scattered Iranian-backed terror groups dedicated to annihilating the State of Israel are coalescing into a second axis while threatening to form an alliance with Daesh, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria also known as ISIS, as well as Al Qaeda and other global jihad organizations.

WHAT???  Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Jordan are asking Obama to listen to Netanyahu the Jew??  Are pigs flying all over the sky today and I missed it??

California is Turning Back Into a Desert

My long time readers will know I have been watching the state of California for quite some time now.  We have openly wondered if "The Golden State" is going to be the place where God's judgment begins for our nation.

As you know by now, CA is suffering through the worst drought in the State's history.  America gets 40% of all its edible food from CA so if it turns back into a desert and doesn't rain for another 5-10 years....America WILL HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS on many different fronts.

Once upon a time, much of the state of California was a barren desert.  And now, thanks to the worst drought in modern American history, much of the state is turning back into one.  Scientists tell us that the 20th century was the wettest century that the state of California had seen in 1000 years.  But now weather patterns are reverting back to historical norms, and California is rapidly running out of water.  It is being reported that the state only has approximately a one year supply of water left in the reservoirs, and when the water is all gone there are no contingency plans.  Back in early 2014, California Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency for the entire state, but since that time water usage has only dropped by 9 percent.  That is not nearly enough.  The state of California has been losing more than 12 million acre-feet of total water a year since 2011, and we are quickly heading toward an extremely painful water crisis unlike anything that any of us have ever seen before.

But don’t take my word for it.  According to the Los Angeles Times, Jay Famiglietti “is the senior water scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory/Caltech and a professor of Earth system science at UC Irvine”.  What he has to say about the horrific drought in California is extremely sobering…

"As our “wet” season draws to a close, it is clear that the paltry rain and snowfall have done almost nothing to alleviate epic drought conditions. January was the driest in California since record-keeping began in 1895. Groundwater and snowpack levels are at all-time lows. We’re not just up a creek without a paddle in California, we’re losing the creek too."

Nearly 40 million people live in the state of California at the moment.

What are they all going to do when the water is gone?

In some rural areas, reservoirs are already nearly bone dry.  And in other areas, the water quality has gone way down.  For example, in one Southern California neighborhood black water is now coming out of the taps…

Here;  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/california-is-turning-back-into-a-desert-and-there-are-no-contingency-plans

Did you catch that??  The 20th Century was the wettest ever recorded in CA according to scientists!! The rain and snow that CA has received in the last hundred years is only an anomaly in the last 1000 years!!  It really is a massive desert where sometimes it doesn't rain for decades!!

Do you think it is interesting that some of the best preachers of our generation have been preaching in California?  Dr. Jeremiah, Pastor Greg Laurie, John MacArthur, Shane Idleman, just to name a few.

God ALWAYS sends warnings that judgment is coming UNLESS WE REPENT!  He sent the prophets to Israel and Judah before they were destroyed and hauled away...and now He has sent the best preachers to CA to warn people that judgment WILL COME unless they humble themselves and begin to fear The Lord.

California has been the symbol of The American Dream since people flocked there during the Great Depression.  As America turns from God and begins openly cursing Israel, one has to wonder if The American Nightmare is going to start in California?

Can you imagine what America will look like if 40,000,000 Californians have to abandon their homes because their toilets won't flush and their swimming pools are forced empty?  Can you imagine the unrest if 40% of our edible food vanishes?....and 40,000,000 people come back to the Midwest looking for a place to live, work and eat?

Lord, have mercy....

"Dennis, I'm so tired of you constantly pointing out the worst case scenarios!  Can't you just look at the stock market and enjoy that many of us are getting wealthy again as the market continues to set record highs?"

Yep!  That's EXACTLY what Jesus is concerned about....our wealth and happiness!!  (sarcasm)

How Long Did the Fetus Live?

I blogged about this a few days ago, but need to pay some more attention to this story because it continues to show how lost mankind can be when they throw away God's word.

This story continues on the Colorado woman who had her 7 month old baby cut out of her womb by a thief who wanted a baby!  The victim was lured to a home via a want ad advertising baby clothes.

The baby thief ran away with the baby and he husband said he saw the baby gasping for breath....but now that the baby has died the State of Colorado can't figure out if the baby thief can be charged with murder because they aren't sure if the baby was a human being or simply some tissue...like a wart.

A Colorado district attorney’s office needs more time in determining whether the woman accused of cutting a fetus out of its mother, possibly killing the baby, will be charged with murder.

Dynel Lane, 34, was supposed to be charged Wednesday in the March 18 attack, but Boulder County district attorney spokeswoman Catherine Olguin said the office needs more time for its review.

“We are still waiting on the autopsy results and detectives' reports,” Olguin said.

The autopsy was conducted Friday, the Times-Call reported.

Lane was arrested the day of the assault at a hospital in Longmont, a Denver suburb, with a fetus she allegedly cut out of a woman whom she lured to her home with an online ad for baby clothes, Longmont police said. Lane told her husband and hospital staff she miscarried, police said.

The baby, seven months along, died. The mother, identified by police as 26-year-old Michelle Wilkins, underwent surgery and is expected to survive.

The day after Lane was arrested, Boulder County Dist. Atty. Stan Garnett told reporters his office must determine whether a murder charge is appropriate because the baby did not survive.

“Under Colorado law, essentially, there’s no way murder charges can be brought if it’s not established that the fetus lived as a child outside the body of the mother for some period of time,” Garnett told reporters March 19.

According to the criminal complaint, Lane’s husband, who was unaware of what his wife had done, told police the baby was alive when he saw it in the couple’s home.

“He rubbed the baby slightly, then rolled it over to hear and see it take a gasping breath,” according to the complaint.

Protesters gathered the day after Lane was arrested, saying the suspect should be charged with murder, the Daily Camera reported. 

"Murder is murder," said Renee Jacoby, who organized the rally, according to the Camera. "It doesn't matter how you look at it. ... It is a human being. It is murder."

Olguin said Tuesday nothing had been ruled out. 

“We are looking at all possible charges,” she said, declining to speculate further.

Here;  http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-baby-womb-murder-20150324-story.html

OH MY GOODNESS!!!  They aren't really sure it was a human being unless they can determine that the "fetus" lived as a child outside of the body for "some period of time".

HELLO!!  HOW MANY BREATHS TO YOU HAVE TO TAKE TO BE CALLED A HUMAN BEING????

Of course the pro-abortion/right to choose crowd is going to be watching this case closely....because if Colorado decides to call this 7 month old baby a "baby" and charge the thief with murder....then what would you call a 6 month old baby...or a 5 month old baby....?  And at what point will women who elect to have their baby cut to shreds and sucked out of their womb...when will they be guilty of murder?

The Bible says that God knew us before, during and after we were in our mother's womb.  We are human beings from the time of conception and the pro-abortion crowd is going to have a tough time holding their ground as doctors continue to save younger and younger babies.

Soon doctors will be able to take a 1 month old little baby and grow it to health in a incubator.  So clearly if the mother went to the incubator and twisted the baby's head off because she decided it was too inconvenient or too expensive...she would be charged with murder.  But if  instead she took the little baby from the incubator and inserted it back into her womb and drove to an abortion clinic to have it vacuumed out....she would be totally within her legal right to kill her baby.

Certainly we are in the days Isaiah warned of....when good will be called evil and evil will be called good.

The Coming Storm

I have been blogging since 2008.  Most of my entries have been negative towards the systems of man and positive about the promises that God made for those who love The Lord.

So how come the stock market is at record highs in the USA?  The dollar is strong, employment seems to be good, grocery stores seem packed and people are building and buying houses like never before??  If you look around with our human eyes, things have never seemed better!  So hasn't this really just been a big waste of time blogging about the promised Rapture (we are still here!) or about the inevitable fall of America as she embraces hedonism and turns her back on God?

I will remind you that we are currently living under the umbrella of God's mercy.  I will also remind you that most of God's prophets in the OT didn't just show up on Monday and announce judgment and then the hammer fell on Tuesday.  Isaiah warned the people of Judah for over 40 years.  So did Jeremiah.  Noah built the ark for 120 years before judgment fell on those who refused to believe.

I ran across this article on Rapture Ready and I think it is good.

THE COMING STORM

I have previously noted that the late Reverend David Wilkerson was a prophetic voice for America during his lifetime. While some have criticized some of his dire predictions for America, it seems now that while the timing of his predictions may have been a little off, most are coming or have come to fruition. This excerpt is from his message “The Calm Before the Storm” delivered at the Times Square Church on April 4, 1997. I have extracted a few important paragraphs for their relevance to America today.

Over the years, I have received letters from people saying, “You've been prophesying for years about ‘gathering storm clouds’ and a ‘coming crash.’ Yet all you've done is scare a lot of Christians who trust your word. The truth is, the opposite has happened. Instead of experiencing a storm, we've seen a boom, with record-breaking prosperity. There isn't one sign on the horizon to suggest a coming crisis.”

The fact is, the apostle Peter warned that many believers would react this way: “…there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:3). In other words: “People will say, ‘Where’s the so-called storm? Everything is continuing today as it always has!”

Beloved, God has judged every past society for lesser sins than America’s. Consider: No other nation has killed more babies than the United States has through abortion. Our soil cries out with the blood of these children! We’d rather save the life of a whale than one of our own babies. America has the world’s highest rate of illegitimate pregnancies.

We have begun to glorify homosexuality and lesbianism. Our media applauds the “bravery” of gays who declare their sexual orientation – but we ought to weep over it! At one time, Christians across the country would have been on their faces crying out to God for mercy over such immorality. Radical homosexuals cry out to society, “In your face!” Yet what they’re really saying is, “In your face, God!”

America has brazenly kicked God out of its schools and courts. Now there’s even a movement to remove His name from the Pledge of Allegiance and from all U.S. coins. People no longer want to hear even the mention of His name! Fifty million Americans now smoke pot, and millions more are hooked on heroin, crack and other hard drugs. Our schools have become bastions of blasphemy and agnosticism. Our children have been robbed of all moral standards, denied all access to God – and they’re reacting by becoming more violent and rebellious. Beloved, God destroyed Noah’s generation, as well as Sodom, all for lesser sins than ours. What arrogance to think that while these societies were judged severely, we might be spared!

Very Soon, America Is Going to wake up to a sudden news report of calamity – and the storm will be upon us suddenly!

The psalmist describes how God’s rod of judgment will fall overnight: “In the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them…all the horns of the wicked also will I cut off…” (Psalm 75:8, 10).

In Revelation, this cup is called “…the cup of his indignation…” (Revelation 14:10). In other words, it’s full of God’s wrath. Simply put, America’s cup of iniquity is overflowing – and all of our sins are going to turn into his holy wrath!

And, beloved, so it will be suddenly when the storm hits. It will come like a thief in the night, bringing sudden panic and disbelief. Right now you may be thinking, “Let it come! If calamity strikes, I’ll deal with it then. After all, I’m in God’s hands. I’ll be ready – so I’m not going to worry about it. Jesus will see me through.”

Yet, let me ask you: Why does God tell his prophets to shout their warnings from the housetops? He wants to warn his people – to stir us up to seek him! He wants to convict us of all our attempts to cast off Christ’s yoke and cozy up to the world. He wants us to keep our eyes on Jesus – to seek heavenly things – because those are the only things that will stand in the coming storm!

The Only Hope in the Coming Storm!

Just before his death and resurrection, Jesus stared into the face of a horrible coming storm. David gives us a clear picture of Jesus’ attitude in the face of the coming storm. He speaks prophetically of Christ, saying, “…I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved” (Acts 2:25).

The literal meaning here is, “I was always in his presence, beholding his face.” David quoted Jesus as saying, “Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope” (verse 26).

Here is the secret: Jesus kept the father always before his face! Jesus continually sought out secret places to be shut in with his father. And it was only after being in God’s presence that Christ came forth to minister, fully persuaded that his father was always with him: “He’s at my right hand – and nothing on this earth can move me!” The Greek word for “moved” here means “agitated or shaken, disturbed.”

Beloved, if we’re going to face the coming storm, then we need to be prepared so nothing disturbs our spirit. And the only way to do that is to spend time in the father’s presence, beholding his face. We have to be shut in with him – on our knees – until we’re thoroughly persuaded he’s at our right hand!

Words of Grace for Strength

Friends, it is past time for true Christians and the true Church in America to take a stand for Jesus Christ and the one true God (John 14:6). The storm David Wilkerson warned of is rapidly approaching.

We are almost daily seeing evidence of the growing persecution of Christians in this country. It is happening in our military, schools, businesses, and government. Radical groups driven by satanic influence and ideologies (religious and cultural), conspire to marginalize Christians and Christian principles at every opportunity.

We, as followers of Christ need to join our voices with those of outspoken Christians like Benjamin Watson, Todd Starnes, and the Reverend Franklin Graham who are unapologetic in their stand for Christians and Christianity.

Most “churches” in America have become institutionalized, seeker friendly, prosperity driven, or denominationally apostate and marked by tolerance, compromise, and inclusiveness. The “mainstream” churches do not preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, instead their message is filled with political correctness, Social justice and secular humanism.

Those of us who are a part of the true Church, the bride of Christ, the Body of Christ, must lift our voices before the Lord in rejection of the false teachers and false religiosity of these “mainstream” churches and their false gospels.

The US is in decline and standing in a place of judgment before God. Our national government is corrupt and led by the most godless administration in our history. Our nation, which was founded on Christian principles led by godly men, now caters to Islamists and Islam while growing increasingly more hostile to Christians. It is turning a blind eye on the genocide of Christians in the Middle East, Africa and the Far East, while embracing the radical Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood here and abroad.

This administration has vilified and ostracized our greatest ally and the only Democracy in the Middle East, Israel, while embracing and emboldening the very groups (the PA and Hamas) who which to destroy Israel. This administration negotiates with Iran (the greatest sponsor of terrorism internationally) over its nuclear ambitions while ignoring the spread of its influence throughout the world as a result of its terror network.

We as true Christians, true followers of Christ, we who are Americans, though our “citizenship” is in Heaven, have a responsibility to call America (and the world) to repentance.

The storm is coming, and our only hope is to trust in Jesus as our Savior, Lord, Master, Light, Life, and King. We must keep God the Father ever before us through prayer, Bible Study, and our daily Walk “in Christ.” We, like Christ, must learn to “rest in hope.” We must not fear what the world may do to us, but instead rely on the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ to keep us, strengthen us, instruct us, embolden us, and sustain us as we serve Him. And we must serve Him, we must stand for Him.

While Christ has promised us we will be raptured and not face the wrath of the Tribulation, we still can face a time of storm before that day. We are in a war for the souls of men, we are in a war of eternal significance, and we cannot fail if we do battle in Christ! Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand!

It's High Time to Audit the Federal Reserve

The Bible tells of a time in the future when the entire global financial system seems to vanish in a very short amount of time.  Happy for us, this event happens AFTER the Rapture so we need not concern ourselves with this.  (read Revelation again)

The Bible also tells us that a time is coming when the Antichrist will end up controlling some vast part of the global economy and that every person who wants to participate in it will need a mark on his hand or forehead to buy or sell anything.  This also happens after the Rapture so we don't need to fret this event either.

What we should be watching for is the conditions to be right for a meltdown of our current fiat currency system.  We know this has to disappear so the Antichrist can set up his new one...but HOW could that all happen?

Well, please remember that "fiat currency" means that the government is using paper and promises as a foundation that everything stands on.  This is all based on confidence in the issuer (government) of the paper promises...and if that confidence every collapses those $20 bills in your wallet might not be worth the paper they they are printed on.

"But Dennis...that could NEVER happen!  This is America!  We are the greatest country to ever exist! Our dollar has NEVER been stronger!  We are stronger now than we were before the crash of 2008!  Have you even seen our incredible stock market lately!  We rebuilt it all back to new highs!"

Blah, blah...yeah, I know.

Do you have any idea who actually runs the Federal Reserve?  Is it Congress?  Nope.  Is it Obama? Nope.  Is it the U.S. Treasury?  Nope.  So who are these people who have all this incredible power to move around $trillions by electronically pushing $$ signs on their computers?

Well....it's complicated....and I'm not really sure you WANT to know.  Now please, just go back to your Arizona vacation and board your cruise ship...because auditing the Federal Reserve could end up showing us something that we really don't want to see.

The calls in Washington to “audit” the Federal Reserve are not for a narrow, bean-counting review of the institution’s financial statements. The audit’s goal is more fundamental: to assure that the checks and balances in a democratic government also apply to central bankers. It means figuring out how our elected representatives can effectively oversee unelected monetary “experts.”

History shows that these so-called experts are prone to destructive inflationary and deflationary blunders, and that the Fed’s actions over the last century represent the greatest systemic risk of any financial organization in the world. These actions include the runaway inflation after World War I and the overreaction leading to the depression of 1921; the failure to liquefy the banking crisis of the 1930s; setting off the internationally disastrous great inflation of the 1970s; and more recently stoking a housing bubble while failing to recognize that it was a bubble.

The Federal Reserve, established in 1913, was a prime example of the dream-world that President Woodrow Wilson imported from the theorists of the German Empire—the notion of government based on the superior knowledge of independent experts that bypasses the messy and undisciplined world of democratic politics. The fatal flaw? The Fed has no superior economic knowledge. It has only forecasts as unreliable as everybody else’s, and theories as debatable. Hence its many mistakes.

Since the Great Recession ended the Fed has been in overdrive. It is running an unprecedented, giant monetary experiment. This experiment includes years of negative real interest rates, the creation of a huge asset-price inflation, and the monetization of real-estate mortgages and long-term bonds. Should the Fed, or anybody, be allowed to carry out such vast and very risky experiments without effective supervision? The correct answer is: no.

Opponents say an audit would threaten the Fed’s “independence.” That’s precisely why it’s necessary. The promoters of Fed independence, which of course include the Fed itself, must believe that the Fed is competent to have the unchecked power of manipulating money and credit, or in a grandiose variation, of “managing the economy.” They must believe that the Fed knows what the results of its manipulations will be, when manifestly it does not. The century-long record of the Fed provides no evidence that the Fed is competent to be entrusted with this enormous discretionary power.

What???????  Can this be true???....."It is running an unprecedented, giant monetary experiment."

You mean our entire wealth storage system is just a big experiment?  You mean the money I have worked my whole life for that is sitting in the bank is just an experiment??  Do you mean that I can't have complete confidence that I will soon be able to take that experimental money I have amassed and use it to move to AZ so I can read romance novels by the swimming pool in Scottsdale while I have Pedro bring me cold drinks all afternoon??

The Bible says that ONLY the unseen things are real....all of the thing we can see today will one day totally vanish.

The Bible also warns that we can ONLY have confidence in Jesus Christ as our savior.  NOTHING can snatch us from His hand.  Everything else in this world will soon vanish or we will leave it behind when we take our last breath.

So pay attention to this whole AUDIT THE FED call that has been rumbling around Washington....because one day (maybe soon) the Wizard of Oz is going to be revealed by a little dog named Toto...and the great and powerful FED will have the mask removed and the whole world will see it's just some MBA's pulling levers that they really don't understand.

That will be the end of a truly amazing experiment.

Where is YOUR confidence these days?
