Blood Moon Over America

Now here's a coincidence....

Fires have been burning up in Canada blowing smoke all across America.  Here in MN our air quality a few days ago was worse than Beijing, China!

Of course when the full moon came up the day after the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage, the smoke turned it bright red.  Lot's of folks hers in MN saw it and two people commented to me that they had, "Never seen anything like it!"

On June 30, 2015, a surprise blood moon appeared in the sky, that was only seen in the United States.

According to the National Weather Service, large wildfires in Canada have been burning. Due to extremely high winds, smoke from these fires have traveled into the United States.

According to NBC-Chattanooga, “the smoke should remain in the higher atmosphere and not affect air quality, it gives the moon and sun a rosy glow.

Here’s what causes the effect:

As light from the moon or sun enters the atmosphere it gets scattered by particles like water, aerosols, and in this case smoke. Green, blue, and purple colors are sent in all directions but colors with longer wavelengths like red, orange and yellow continue through the atmosphere and remain visible to the human eye.”

This ironically occurred right after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to legalize homosexual marriage nationally.

Many Christians believe that blood moons are God’s way of warning His people of persecution, hardships or major events that have occurred or are to come. This is based upon scientific evidence that every time a blood moon has been seen universally in the sky, a major event has/will occur (in the overwhelming majority of cases, it is a negative event). You can read more about it here.

The timing of this blood moon that displayed right after the Supreme Court’s decision to redefine God’s definition of marriage is almost prophetic.

"Dennis, come on now!  You have GOT TO BE INSANE if you even entertain the idea that God orchestrated wild fires in Canada to produce smoke and then produced wind to blow it over America and then a full moon to turn red ALL to send a prophetic warning to America that judgment is coming just because SCOTUS voted in favor of love and tolerance?"

Ummmm.....I believe that God told Noah to build a huge boat that housed all kinds of animals and then HE DESTROYED all living things and THEN sent us a rainbow as a promise.

I also believe that Jesus was dead for three days and then came back to life with a glorified body and is STILL ALIVE today!

I also believe that one day (maybe soon) that a loud trumpet noise will sound and that all followers of Jesus will be caught up into the clouds, given glorified bodies, and then be with Jesus forever....so YES....I do believe it's possible that God orchestrated a blood moon to be seen by America and that it COULD BE a prophetic warning that judgment is coming.

As you look around this nation and read the news you CAN come to the logical conclusion that this nation's cup of sin has to be at, or near, the overflowing level.

Lord have mercy....

Tunisia Decides to Build Wall to Hold Back Muslim Terrorists

Another double standard appears to be in the making....Saudi Arabia can build a wall, Tunisia can build a wall BUT when Israel builds a wall the world cries FOUL!!!

After terror attacks, Tunisia erects fence on Libya border

TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisia’s army and contractors are building a barrier along part of the country’s border with Libya to keep out extremists in the wake of attacks claimed by the Islamic State group.

Prime Minister Habib Essid said the goal is to render the border “impassable” by jihadi fighters and vehicles, and construction should be finished this year.

Essid told Tunisian TV the barrier will cover 168 kilometers (105 miles) — about one-third of the border — and will include fencing, a sand wall, trenches and surveillance posts.

Tunisia’s government declared a state of emergency days after a gunman killed 38 tourists, mostly Britons, on June 26 in the coastal resort of Sousse. In March, two attackers fired on tourists and others at Tunis’ National Bardo Museum, killing 22 people.

Authorities say the three gunmen, who were shot dead by security forces, received weapons training in Libya.

Tunisia overthrew its dictator in 2011, setting off the Arab Spring revolutions. While successive governments have fostered democracy in Tunisia, Libya has fallen into near-chaos — now divided between rival governments with hundreds of militias roaming the country.

Hmmmm....it seems all sorts of countries are trying to protect their borders using impenetrable walls....I wonder why America has such a problem trying to build a wall that would protect our Southern border?

Vampires Are "Born That Way."

Are their really vampires out there?  People who need to drink other people's blood to maintain their health?

According to this article on Yahoo yesterday, there are!!  But they aren't the bat-like men with big fangs who bite ladies while they're sleeping....nope!  They are actually friendly people who need to drink other folks blood...so they ask them first!

And get this, most vampires won't come "out of the closet" for fear they will be misunderstood and even discriminated against...or even worse, labeled as "mentally ill"!

'Vampires' keep doctors in the dark for fear of stereotyping: study

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - It is not easy being a vampire, and even harder to come out of the coffin to a physician or therapist for fear they will misinterpret the habit of ingesting the blood of willing donors or succumb to stereotyping, a study finds.

Research led by D.J. Williams, director of social work at Idaho State University, indicated that people who identify themselves as “real” vampires – that is, needing others’ blood to gain energy – would not disclose their practices to those in the helping professions and risk reactions like ridicule, disgust and possible diagnosis of a mental illness.

The paper, published in the latest issue of Critical Social Work, a peer-reviewed journal based in Canada, found that authentic vampires as opposed to “lifestyle” vampires – black-clad figures with phony fangs – might be stereotyped by clinicians whose fields discourage biases.

Williams, who has studied self-identified vampires for nearly a decade, finds they come from every walk of life and profession, including doctors, attorneys and candlestick makers.

“They are successful, ordinary people,” he said.

Except they are very, very tired. That’s apparently the chief reason they find a consenting adult willing to allow them to use a scalpel to make a tiny incision in the chest area so they can ingest a small amount of blood for energy, the study found.

Williams and another researcher based the paper on the responses of 11 people who had identified themselves as vampires for many years and could be relied on to be open and honest, and who gain permission from practicing adults before ingesting their blood, he said.

“The real vampire community seems to be a conscientious and ethical one,” Williams said.

The challenge is finding non-judgmental clinicians to whom vampires can disclose their alternative lifestyles, he added.

“Most vampires believe they were born that way; they don’t choose this,” Williams said.

The global vampire population is thought to number in the thousands, he said.

NOOOOO!!!!!!   Most vampires are BORN THIS WAY AND THEY DON'T CHOOSE THIS!!!

Classic cut and paste from the homosexual agenda!!  Satan scored such a huge coup with the gay agenda he is going to just cut and paste the entire thing into vampires, pedophiles, bestiality participants, polygamists, liars, thieves, swindlers and every other vice or perversion humans are born with.

Poor vampires!!  They are having problems finding "non-judgmental clinicians to whom they can disclose their alternate lifestyles"!!  We need to make a vampire clinic for them funded 100% by non-vampires who pay taxes!  And have free-vampire healthcare!  And make sure every public restroom has a vampire friendly stall!  And make sure that anti-bullying-vampire legislation gets on the books!

Friends, there are thousands of vampires all over the world!  Soon someone will claim that vampires account for 1-3% of the general population...and once we are all convinced that this is true, the public schools will then need to put "vampire education" into their curriculum and teach all students (starting in kindergarten) how to safely drink blood just in case they become a vampire.

Berkeley, CA teacher to her first grade student;  "Jimmy, have you ever had a raw steak?...you know like one where there is a little blood around the plate?  You have?  Well, it's totally OK that you maybe like blood because YOU might be a vampire.  It's totally cool if you are...in fact there are thousands of people all over the world who are JUST LIKE YOU!  In fact this district has a vampire support club that meets every Thursday after school.  I'll just sign you up for it and we can start your entire transition into become a full blown, accepted and proud vampire!!   I'm so happy for you Jimmy!  I'm so proud of your courage!  Are you going to march in the vampire-pride-parade at the capital next month?"

Friends, we are in trouble here on planet earth.  I'm so thankful that one day (hopefully soon) Jesus is going to come on a rescue mission to snatch all people who have accepted Him as Messiah and Savior!

Sing with me now!....

This world is not my home I'm just a-passin' through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Porn, Lonely and Suicide are Top Google Search Words

I'm going to guess you can tell a lot about a nation based on what they search for on the Internet.

What we search for has now been turned into a verb, as in, "Did you Google it?"

So what is America GOOGLING these days?

‘Porn’ And ‘Lonely’ Among Top Late Night Google Searches In US

Google data analysis suggests that “porn” and “suicide” searches dominate late night online inquiries, while searches for free video games and other anonymous searches flow throughout the day.

A New York Times analysis of Google’s “very sharp” data for New York state pinpointed some rather precise searches throughout the day and night.

“Unblocked games,” or those not blocked by school administrators, peaks at 8:04 a.m., and stays high throughout the day until 1:30 p.m. Searches for “weather,” “prayer” and “news” peak before 5:30 a.m., suggesting Americans wake up early across their respective time zones.

Bizarre questions and those pursuing “anxiety” and “suicide” answers are rampant throughout late night hours. Google’s released data doesn’t show the total number of searches, but rather, the search rate for a word and at what time it’s highest – meaning an unusually large amount of searches went out at that respective hour.

Here;  http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/07/07/porn-and-lonely-among-top-late-night-google-searches-in-us/

Of course the irony is that becoming addicted to porn will make you lonely and suicidal.

Funny how Satan works!  Sin is always fun when you first discover it.  It's only after the noose has been pulled tight that you realize that the "fun" sin leads to loneliness, depression and thoughts of suicide.

It would be nice if USA's top Google searches were "Jesus", "Salvation", "repent" and "grace".....but instead we get "Porn". "loneliness" and "suicide".

OUCH!

The Next Greece May Be in the USA

Greece is NOT America.  The problems that have led Greece to collapse will NOT be the same problems that lead America into its ultimate collapse.

Greece is filled with corruption, an inability to collect taxes, inadequate infrastructure and massive underfunded government pensions.  When they joined the EU they suddenly found themselves in a position where they could borrow money at the same interest rates as Germany and that lenders from all over the EU would happily lend them money for whatever reason Greece gave.  Now that the payments are due the problems of corruption, inability to collect taxes and unfunded pension promises are ALL catching up to them.

But what about our US cities and some of our states?  Could we see a meltdown in California or Chicago?  Could the corruption in Chicago and their out of control spending lead to some type of collapse that Greece is currently experiencing?

The next Greece may be in the U.S.

When Chicago Public Schools announced on June 24 that it would borrow $1 billion to make a $600 million-plus pension payment due June 30 an eerie feeling spread across bond investors and taxpayers alike.

It was the same feeling that gripped investors when Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Chicago’s credit rating to junk based almost entirely on the city’s pension problems.

The fear was that elevated pension costs, in cities like Chicago, might push these public entities into insolvency, wiping out much of the holdings of municipal-bond investors.


Once a sleepy corner of the municipal bond market — often not even properly reflected on cities’ balance sheets — public pensions have recently turned into the biggest headache for taxpayers and municipal-bond investors, threatening to bring down the finances of U.S. cities and states.

In some places, like Puerto Rico, Illinois, New Jersey and Chicago, entire balance sheets of cities or states hang in the balance.

Detroit, as well as three Californian cities — Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino — had to declare bankruptcy because of their overwhelming pension costs.

In those cases, the courtroom turned into a brutal battlefield pitting bond investors trying to save the money they invested in those cities’ municipal bonds on one side. And on the other side have been public employees trying to save the dwindling pensions that were promised to them.

Recent cases have shown that bond investors are clearly losing this battle.

In the bankruptcies of Detroit, Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino, bondholders have faced losses of up to 99% of their holdings, according to a Moody’s report dated May 18. Meanwhile all three California cities chose to preserve full pensions for their employees, while Detroit only cut pensions by approximately 18%.

Many cities have turned to a special type of risky bonds called pension obligation bonds or POBs to fund their pensions without taking unpopular measures like raising taxes.

But these bonds only provide “short-term budget relief, a strategy to kick the can down the road and pass difficult choices on to future decision makers,” according to a Janney report dated May 1.

Oakland, Calif., was the first to sell $222 million of tax-exempt POBs back in 1985. Illinois issued $17.16 billion between 2003 and 2011, Puerto Rico issued $2.8 billion in 2008 and New Jersey issued $2.9 billion between 1997 and 2003.

When nations worship wealth and money and begin to believe the lie that happiness can be measured in material goods....they are fully sliding down the slippery slope.  It will only be a matter of time before they have strangled themselves with overwhelming debt.

Why?

Because it's so fun to have stuff TODAY rather than work and save so you can pay cash for it TOMORROW....and FUN seems to be the secondary god we worship, following the primary god of Mammon.

Greece wanted to have fun.  Their leaders wanted to provide all the fun social programs and generous pensions that the rest of Europe was enjoying WITHOUT having to work or pay for them.  They just borrowed the money and decided to let some future leaders figure out how to pay for it.

It's the same story in Chicago or Detroit or the State of California.  The citizens all wanted to have fun today in exchange for someone else paying for it in the future.

So while the USA isn't Greece....many of our cities and states might be harboring the next bankruptcy and when the stock and/or bond market crashes again, the cracks in their balance sheets will be suddenly revealed.

And then USA will have the tough decision of WHO WANTS TO BAIL OUT CHICAGO?  Should all of us in MN give our hard earned dollars to bail out a bunch of Democrats who made their own beds in Illinois?

I, for one, don't think I should have to.

Should a bunch of Germans have to bail out a bunch of lazy Greeks who vacationed too much, worked too little yet still wanted to collect generous pensions?

Most Germans are going to say "NO!"

Turkey Plans to Invade Syria

No doubt this next article can go under the file, WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.

Turkey has sent shock waves through the Middle East by preparing plans to send troops into Syria for the first time, turning the civil war into an international conflict on Europe’s borders.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has authorised a change in the rules of engagement agreed by the Turkish parliament to allow the army to strike at Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), as well as the Assad regime, according to local newspapers.

The aim is to establish a buffer zone for refugees and against Isil, but Mr Erdogan has also suggested that the main target of the intervention, if it goes ahead, will be to prevent the emergence of a Kurdish state on Turkey’s doorstep.

The Syrian Kurdish militia, the YPG, has established dominance in a border strip across the north of the country in recent months.

“We will never allow the establishment of a state in Syria’s north and our south,” Mr Erdogan said at the weekend. “We will continue our fight in this regard no matter what it costs.”

Turkey has urged the creation of a buffer zone protected by international forces in the north of Syria ever since the civil war sent hundreds of thousands of refugees across the border.

That figure is approaching two million, making Turkey the single largest host of refugees of any country.

But until now it has refused to countenance “going it alone” in intervention in Syria. The plans were discussed in a meeting of the national security council last night. Following Mr Erdogan’s speech, Turkish media were briefed on new orders being given to the military to prepare to send an 18,000-strong force across the border, with some reports saying the move could take place as early as Friday.

The troops would seize a stretch of territory 60 miles long by 20 deep, including the border crossings of Jarablus, currently in Isil hands, and Aazaz, currently controlled by the Free Syrian Army (FSA) but under attack from Isil.

Turkey is a big player in the Ezekiel 38 prophecies so we have been watching them very closely  And of course they have been in the news A LOT these past few years.

Syria is also mentioned in Last Days prophecies and we are told in Isaiah 17 that one day Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

As we watch ISIS rampage, murder and rape its way across Syria and wonder how they are going to be stopped....and as we watch the government of Bashar Al-Assad weaken and Western governments continue to say they could never work with him again because he has too much blood on his hands in the killing of his own citizens....we can start to see a few different scenarios of how Isaiah 17 may be fulfilled.

Isaiah 17
A prophecy against Damascus:

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.

Remember, Damascus is one of the oldest, continually inhabited cities on the face of the earth.  So when God says that one day Damascus will no longer be a city, it HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE.  And the fact that all eyes of the world are currently focused on Syria shouldn't surprise us as we continue to march toward the Last Days.
