Warning Signs Are Everywhere

President Obama openly scoffed at ex Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann who clearly warned that if the USA continues cursing Israel it's not going to go well for America.  As you can see in the video those in Obama's audience roared with laughter.

The big quakes continue to come with thousands dead in Nepal.

The wars continue to build.  We don't even blink when we hear of hundreds of people beheaded, burned, raped and tortured by followers of Islam.  We have become desensitized.

If you go to YouTube and type in September 2015 you will end up seeing DOZENS of videos warning that something big is coming for America and the world in September.  Of course this also coincides with the final blood moon that some folks are also sounding a warning about.

Watch this video here....and make sure to hear Obama scoff;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAe0DvfGNJY

I personally have no idea if something big is going to happen in September.  I am at the point where there are so many signs of the 2nd Coming happening at once that I will not be surprised if the trumpet were to blow any day now and Christ would break into this Satanic planet and snatch His Bride and take her away.

After that happens then all sorts of crazy stuff is going to play out.  It will ultimately get so heinous and awful that Jesus himself said that if He didn't return in the 2nd Coming to stop those days that NO FLESH would survive on earth.

Even a casual observer should see that the wheels are about to come off the bus in America.  What could trigger it?

I have no idea.

When could the trigger happen?

I have no idea.

"But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that THIS DAY should surprise you like a thief."

Yep!  I will not be surprised in the Day of the Lord starts anytime now....

Christianity in America is Dying of Boredom

About once every other month a church in our area sends out a postcard inviting us to come visit their church on Sunday morning.  The advertisement promises, "Loud music!  Fun jokes! Not church as usual! Short services!  Even your husband will like it!"

Wow....is that really what the blood of Jesus Christ has been reduced to?  Short services and a stand up comic at the pulpit?

Maybe Christianity In America Is Dying Because It’s Boring Everyone To Death

I recently attended a service that might help solve the riddle of the fantastic decline of American Christianity. It was a different church from the one I normally go to.

Let me set the scene, perhaps it will sound familiar:

I walked in and immediately realized that I’d inadvertently stumbled upon a totally relaxed, convenient, comfortable brand of church. The first hint was the choir members dressed in shorts and flip flops. Sweet, bro. So chill.

There were a bunch of acoustic guitars and drums and tambourines and a keyboard. Before the service/concert began, some guy came out to rev up the crowd. Opening acts aren’t usually a part of the liturgical experience, but this is 2015 and we’re, like, so not into solemn silence and prayer anymore.

There must always be noise. Always noise. Sounds. Lights. Never silence, not even for a moment.

Finally, church started. The choir, or jam band for Jesus, or whatever it was, played a song that sounded like a cross between a 90′s Disney soundtrack and an easy listening favorite you might hear if you skimmed through your aunt’s second generation iPod. It wasn’t really contemporary, or good, or relevant, but at least it wasn’t traditional. Because YUCK! Tradition is old!

The singer was relatively talented, but he carried on like an American Idol contestant. I got the impression that he was fishing for applause, not worshiping the Lord of the Universe. His style and demeanor said “talent show” but the music said “wine and cheese festival” or maybe “my dentist’s waiting room.” It definitely didn’t say “truth,” or “heaven,” or “the Great King sitting upon his throne amidst throngs of mighty angels.”

The pastor began with another round of jokes. They weren’t very funny but they succeeded in being unserious, which I guess is close enough. The sermon was jam packed with youth slang and pop culture. He mentioned a couple of TV shows and Netflix. He made sports metaphors. He didn’t do anything with the references, he just hung them out there like we were supposed to be impressed that he knows about these things.

I think he even said something about Angry Birds. Dated, sure, but it did the job of letting us know that the guy speaking also used a smart phone at some point in the last five years. OMG! He totally gets us!

And that’s how we ended up here. That’s it. That’s the problem. It’s plain as day, yet every time this conversation comes up,  we’re told that Christianity is declining because Christians are too religious, too bold, too outspoken, too moral, and too firm in their beliefs. That’s the conventional wisdom, but as we’ve seen a thousand times over, the conventional wisdom of an unwise society should never be taken seriously.

If the faith is to regain lost ground in this country, it will only happen when Christianity is presented and understood as what it is: a warrior’s religion. A faith for fighters and soldiers. CS Lewis said it best (as usual):

Enemy-occupied territory–that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.

There. There it is, explained more compellingly in two sentences than many pastors can muster in a lifetime of sermons. This is frightening, militant language, but it’s exciting, it’s exhilarating, and it is, most importantly, accurate. As Christians, we are fighting a war against the Devil himself. We are advancing against the darkest forces of the universe, and we march with God by our side. And all the while, all around us, on a dimension invisible to mortal eyes, angels and demons and supernatural forces, both good and evil, work to defend or destroy us.

Honestly people, its hard to read Revelation 3 and NOT think of America.  We are the most blessed nation on earth and yet we are a bunch of pitiful, spoiled, self-obsessed, spiritually immature brats whom Christ warns he will spit out.

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.

Ex Abortion Doctor Tells Congress to Ban Them

Legalized abortion is another example of how men's thinking can become foolish and futile when they reject the God of Creation...which confirms Romans 1.

Doctors can now save pre-mature babies as young as 22 weeks after conception.  So what would the FUTILE thinkers say if the mother of the baby decided she didn't want her 10 ounce little baby laying in an incubator because it would be too much of a burden and inconvenience?  Would they follow her instructions and walk over to the incubator, stick a scissors through it's skull, scramble his brains and throw him in the "medical waste" bin?

The FUTILE thinkers can't seem to understand that killing a 22 week old baby, whether it's in the mother's womb or in an incubator, is killing the exact same person!  It doesn't magically become a baby just because it left the mother's womb.

If you weren't aware, Congress is debating abortion again.  I believe the Republicans are putting forth some pressure to attempt to put some more restrictions on it.  Let's pray they do.

Abortion Doctor Who Did 1,200 Abortions Tells Congress to Ban Them

This week, the House of Representatives is voting on a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The last time the House considered this bill, a former abortion practitioner urged members of Congress to pass it.

Dr. Anthony Levatino is a pro-life physician from New Mexico but, before having a change of heart on the issue of abortion he was an OBGYN who also performed abortions. Levatino did as many as 1,200 abortions — some of them after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Then, after his daughter died in a tragic automobile accident, he re-evaluated his position on abortion and stopped doing abortions.

Dr. Levatino told members of a Congressional committee that they should support the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Levatino’s full testimony before the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice appears below:

Chairman Franks and distinguished members of the subcommittee, my name is Anthony Levatino. I am a board-certified obstetrician gynecologist. I received my medical degree from Albany Medical College in Albany, NY in 1976 and completed my OB-GYN residency training at Albany Medical Center in 1980.

In my 33-year career, I have been privileged to practice obstetrics and gynecology in both private and university settings. From June 1993 until September 2000, I was associate professor of OB-GYN at the Albany Medical College serving at different times as both medical student director and residency program director. I have also dedicated many years to private practice and currently operate a solo gynecology practice in Las Cruces, NM. I appreciate your kind invitation to address issues related to the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

During my residency training and during my first five years of private practice, I performed both first and second trimester abortions. Duringmy residency in the late 1970s,second trimester abortions were typically performed using saline infusion or, occasionally, prostaglandin instillation techniques. These procedures were difficult, expensive and necessitated that patients go through labor to abort their pre-born children. By 1980, at the time I entered private practice first in Florida and then in upstate New York, those of us in the abortion industry were looking for a more efficient method of second trimester abortion.

The Suction D&E procedure offered clear advantages over older installation methods. The procedure was much quicker and never ran the risk of a live birth. Understand that my partner and I were not running an abortion clinic. We practiced general obstetrics and gynecology but abortion was definitely part of that practice. Relatively few gynecologists in upstate NY would perform such a procedure and we saw an opportunity to expand our abortion practice.

I performed first trimester suction D&C abortions in my office up to 10 weeks from last menstrual period and later procedures in an outpatient hospital setting. From 1981 through February 1985, I performed approximately 1200 abortions. Over 100 of them were second trimester Suction D&E procedures up to 24 weeks gestation.

Imagine if you can that you are a pro-choice obstetrician/gynecologist like I once was. Your patient today is 24 weeks pregnant. At twenty-four weeks from last menstrual period, her uterus is two finger-breadths above the umbilicus.

If you could see her baby, which is quite easy on an ultrasound, she would be as long as your hand plus a half from the top of her head to the bottom of her rump not counting the legs. Your patient has been feeling her baby kick for the last 2 months or more but now she is asleep on an operating room table and you are there to help her with her problem pregnancy.

The first task is remove the laminaria that had earlier been placed in the cervix to dilate it sufficiently to allow the procedure you are about to perform. With that accomplished, direct your attention to the surgical instruments arranged on a small table to your right. The first instrument you reach for is a 14-French suction catheter. It is clear plastic and about nine inches long. It has a bore through the center approximately ¾ of an inch in diameter.Picture yourself introducing this catheter through the cervix and instructing the circulating nurse to turn on the suction machine which is connected through clear plastic tubing to the catheter. What you will see is a pale yellow fluid that looks a lot like urine coming through the catheter into a glass bottle on the suction machine. This is the amniotic fluid that surrounded the baby to protect her.

With suction complete, look for your Sopher clamp. This instrument is about thirteen inches long and made of stainless steel. At the end are located jaws about 2 ½ inches long and about ¾ of an inch wide with rows of sharp ridges or teeth. This instrument is for grasping and crushing tissue. When it gets hold of something, it does not let go. A second trimester D&E abortion is a blind procedure. The baby can be in any orientation or position inside the uterus. Picture yourself reaching in with the Sopher clamp and grasping anything you can.

At twenty-four weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft so be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls. Once you have grasped something inside, squeeze on the clamp to set the jaws and pull hard–really hard. You feel something let go and out pops  a fully formed leg about six inches long. Reach in again and grasp whatever you can. Set the jaw and pull really hard once again and out pops an arm about the same length. Reach in again and again with that clamp and tear out the spine, intestines, heart and lungs.

The toughest part of a D&E abortion is extracting the baby’s head. The head of a baby that age is about the size of a large plum and is now free floating inside the uterine cavity. You can be pretty sure you have hold of it if the Sopher clamp is spread about as far as your fingers will allow. You will know you have it right when you crush d own on the clamp and see white gelatinous material coming through the cervix. That was the baby’s brains. You can then extract the skull pieces. Many times a little face will come out and stare back at you.

Congratulations! You have just successfully performed a second trimester Suction D&E abortion. You just affirmed her right to choose.

Father in heaven!!  Any nation that would murder its children by the millions on the alter of FREE SEX and CONVENIENCE deserves to be wiped out.

How long Father?

Pray for the unborn and pray for Congress that they can start to reverse this heinous holocaust taking place right next to our country clubs, swimming pools, fancy homes and Superstores.

Islam Meets Wall Street

What the heck?  14 years ago 90% of Americans hadn't even heard of Islam.  We didn't know what Sunni and Shi'ite were, Madrassas, burquas, Shariah and Jihad were all absent from our lexicon! Today we can't go a single day in this country without seeing something about Islam and Muslims.

It's like a flood....

Today I ran across this article in one of the daily financial newsletters that I receive.

Islam Meets Wall Street

Saqib Awan was working as an attorney at the global law firm DLA Piper when his firm was asked to advise a Saudi Arabian company as it structured a bond deal that would comply with Islamic law, also known as Sharia law. The type of bonds, called sukuk, usually involve placing assets into a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and then issuing certificates that give investors an ownership stake in the asset pool. Since Islamic law prohibits the charging or paying of interest, sukuk transactions often look more like equity than debt.

The problem was, Awan’s client didn’t want to move the underlying assets into an SPV. He didn’t want to pay the costs associated with moving the assets off of its balance sheet or suffer the risk that the assets might be lost. Awan’s firm told the client the assets had to be transferred on to the books of the SPV in order for the deal to be Sharia compliant. However, the company hired an Islamic scholar, who said such a move was not necessary. The company opted to keep the assets on its own books.

“If you asked 20 Sharia scholars, they would say this was not the way it’s supposed to be done. It was a bit odd,” says Awan, now a senior consultant to a sovereign wealth fund in the United Arab Emirates.

The deal highlights one of the main questions in Islamic finance today: What is compliant under Islamic law, and who gets to make that determination? These questions are becoming increasingly important as the Islamic finance sector flourishes.  

Islamic financial institutions worldwide hold about $1.8 trillion in assets—and are likely to sustain double-digit growth over the coming few years to reach about $3 trillion, according to a report this year by Standard & Poor’s.

The sukuk market alone has doubled in the last three years, with annual issuance rising sharply from less than $32 billion in 2010 to a record $118 billion at year-end 2014, according to Moody’s.

The deal involving Awan’s client underscores the dilemmas  faced by advisors and other professionals in this sector.

Demand for Islamic financial products has increased over the last decade—not just in the Gulf and Southeast Asia, but also in America. There are 5.7 million Muslims in the U.S. with $98 billion in disposable income, according to a report by DinarStandard, and many are looking for Sharia-compliant investments. The American Muslim population is younger than the national average and the education and income levels are on par with the average American household’s, says the study. And wealthy Muslims are looking for some of the same things rich American investors seek: capital preservation, education savings and retirement planning.

Ernst & Young estimates global Islamic banking assets will exceed $3.4 trillion by 2018. Even if Muslims represent just 10% of world GDP, their high saving rates means that wealth is being generated in the hundreds of billions of dollars each year, making the Muslim population worth noting for wealth managers, experts say. In Asia alone, more than 2.6 million high-net-worth individuals control an estimated $8.4 trillion in assets, according to the International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance.

Ouch!  For all the messes that Islam it creating from Syria to Boston....they are saving/investing some serious money and beginning to cause sway even on Wall Street.

Of course Wall Street could say, "This is America...we don't do shariah deals!  Issue bonds or issue stocks...that's how we do it here."   But of course they aren't because there is A LOT of money involved and A LOT of money to be made as the Muslims control more and more assets.

I remember seeing a cartoon 30 years ago of a Wall Street broker smiling and patting the back of an obese, bald man smoking a cigar.  The caption read, "This is a potential client.  He smells bad.  He has money. I like him!"

Islam is clearly a blight to the civilized world.  It breeds hatred, ignorance and poverty wherever it settles....but when there are $billion dollar deals to be done the Wall Street brokers say, "So tell me all about this shariah law thing so I can help you structure a deal."

What do "Normal" Muslims Believe?

For years now we have heard many Americans say, "There are only a very few radical Muslims. Most of them are no different than you and me!  They just want good jobs, nice houses and to love their wives and families just like you and me!"

So how do they know that?

They don't know that....they are just guessing and hoping.

So check out this video of American Muslims at a conference.  Watch the hands go up when these "normal" Muslims living among us are asked a series of radical questions.

Here;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYAcLudBbhg&app=desktop

So who should we believe?  The liberals on Oprah and in the White House who say Islam is a great religion of peace and needs to play a bigger part in USA?....OR.....do we believe the Muslims at this conference who are telling us with their own mouths what they believe?

Satan is a powerful adversary.  He has been working on his "Islam plan" since Muhammad walked into a cave 1300 years ago.

He has been working on his Mormon plan for 150 years.

He has been working on his Catholic plan for centuries.

He has been working on his Jehovah Witness plan for 150 years.

He has been working on his Yoga and Transcendental Meditation plan for centuries.

And now it seems he is putting a lot of effort into his apostasy (falling away from the faith) plan.

1 Timothy 4 
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. ...

Hmmmm.....???....Who is it who believed the things taught to them by "angels" whose message contradicted Christ's?  And what faith is it that forbids their leaders to marry?

Cyber Attacks Pose Biggest Threat to Economy

We are quite positive that America isn't going to continue being the most-blessed nation on earth forever.  We know this because of the innocent babies we abort, the smut we export, the illicit drugs we import and the godlessness we have incubated.

But could America be in for a slow motion judgment....kind of like Great Britain where they went from most powerful nation rather insignificant nation over the course of decades?  Or could our demise happen suddenly?...like a black swan falling out of the sky?

Today I received this article from a wealth management newsletter.

Cyber Attacks Pose Biggest Unrecognized Threat to Economy

There is no shortage of threats to the U.S. economy: fragile growth, increasing regulation, the timing of the Fed’s raising interest rates, White House and congressional inaction, out-of-control entitlements, and a punitive and complicated tax system. Yet the biggest threat may be one that is least mentioned: cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks have been expanding quickly from criminal gain to corporate espionage to ideological warfare. And these attacks have been increasing in frequency, scale, sophistication and severity.

The primary reason for cyber attacks has been financial gain. Criminals go where the money is and there is easy money using personal data to commit fraud. Credit card data are sold to other criminals who use them to make purchases. Medical data are used to create new personal identities for credit card and bank fraud. Health insurance information is used to make false claims, access addictive prescription drugs and get free medical treatment.

As a result, stealing personal data has reached epidemic proportions. The numbers from recent data breaches are staggering: credit card information from 56 million Home Depot and 70 million Target customers, 145 million login credentials from eBay, contact information for 76 million J.P. Morgan Chase customers and 80 million Anthem customers. Even small companies are not immune to these cyber attacks. From card skimmers to point-of-sale intrusions, data theft rings have targeted relatively unprotected small businesses as a new and vast profit center.

The economic costs are monumental. It costs the breached organization an average of $200 per compromised record, mostly from business disruption and revenue loss. That does not include intangible costs like losing customer loyalty or hurting a company’s brand.

To add insult to injury, corporate espionage attacks are increasing. Stealing intellectual property and spying on competitors comprises a growing number of attacks and come at huge costs to the company that has been hacked. And the big difference with corporate spying is that the attacker usually does not give up until they are successful.

Finally, and most dangerous, are ideologically and politically motivated attacks. Cyber attacks have proven that computers are very vulnerable. But like any profit-driven enterprise, criminals and corporations are adverse to killing the goose that lays their golden eggs. Even nation states like China and Russia may be too co-dependent on the U.S.

The Bible is clear that the Last Days financial system is going to disappear suddenly...in an hour.

Bible readers over the past 2000 years could never figure out how most of the things mentioned in Revelation could ever happen!  How is it possible the whole world could "see" the Antichrist desecrate the Temple?  How is it possible that all humans would be required to have a mark put on their bodies to buy or sell anything?  How is it possible that a whole world could be linked in a financial economy?

For 2000 years all these Revelation events were explained as dreams or spiritualizations or just "too confusing to understand so I don't bother!"

Until recently, in just the past few years, WE HAVE BECOME THE FIRST GENERATION to see the technology available for ALL THESE THINGS SPOKEN OF IN REVELATION TO BE LITERALLY FULFILLED!

So could hackers one day hack into our banking system and erase millions of $0's and in an instant destroy our faith and confidence in the U.S. Banking system?

Yep.  It could happen!

Yes, all you scoffers!!...it could EVEN happen in America!!

September 2015

It seems the latest date to have lots of folks all frothy at the mouth is September, 2015.

Just check out some of these YouTube videos by the dozens that are all ominously claiming that chaos, calamity, civil unrest and martial law are coming for America.

This one claims the greatest nightmare ever is coming;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTP_pHVZp0M

This one claims all the Bible signs of the End Times are culminating in Sept. 2015;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj8jjIKnim4

This one claims that a 2.5 mile wide asteroid will hit us in September, which is why the U.S. Government is furiously making plans to go underground;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4c0NS4jLNA

This one claims that the illuminati know what's coming in September;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O21Fb-Ykv74

And of course we DO have the final blood-red-moon that will happen in September and this video tells us we better prepare now;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O21Fb-Ykv74 

So what's up??

Here's what we do know....followers of Christ should be totally suspect of date setters.  Jesus told his disciples that NO MAN knows the day or the hour of God's coming wrath....so when you find other Christians who are telling you that the rapture is coming in September or that a Trumpet Judgment is going to happen on such and such a month.....you would be wise to just move on.

Jesus also told his followers that when you see all these things begin to happen, then "look up" because our redemption is near.  So clearly Jesus doesn't want us to be ignorant of all the signs HE clearly told us to watch for, he just doesn't want us claiming we know the exact dates of when these things are coming.

As you look around the world at the unrest, the earthquakes, perversion, wars, tornadoes and godlessness, it doesn't take a prophet to take notice and say, "I wouldn't be surprised if something big was on the horizon."

So WE don't believe we can KNOW that something big is coming in September, but we wouldn't be surprised if something big happened any day now.

1 Thessalonians 5
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

Also we think it's interesting how many fingers are pointing at September 2015, so thought we would point it out to you folks.
