Norway Calls for Cashless Society

Last week we blogged about Sweden and how they might become the first cashless society.

Today we find out the same push may be happening in Norway.

Largest Bank In Norway Calls For The Elimination Of Cash

The biggest bank in Norway is calling for the complete and total elimination of cash. Many local bank branches in Norway already don' t deal in cash, but that is not good enough for DNB.

They want a blanket ban on the use of cash, and they are selling this as a way to crack down on criminals and money launderers. But in the end, the truth is that they want to be able to force everyone in society to use the banks and it would enable them to collect fees on almost every transaction. 

It is an agenda that is being driven by greed, but it could also open the door for great tyranny. Unfortunately, we are not just seeing aggressive movement toward a cashless society in Norway. It is also happening in Sweden, in Denmark and in many other nations all around the globe. The Beast system is rising, and yet very few people out there even seem alarmed by this.

When I first learned about what was happening in Norway, I was absolutely stunned. I have ancestors that came over to America from over there, and I had no idea that this was happening. The following comes from the International Business Times...

The largest bank in Norway has called for the country to stop using cash, the Local reported Friday. This comes as the latest move in a country that has been leading the global charge toward electronic money in recent years, with several banks already not offering cash in their branch offices and some industries seeking to cut back on paper currency.

Of course this idea is being sold as something that will be really good for Norwegian society. DNB promises that eliminating cash will help authorities crack down on criminal activity and money laundering. Here is more from the International Business Times...

"Today, there is approximately 50 billion kroner in circulation and the country's central bank Norges Bank can only account for 40 percent of its use. That means that 60 percent of money usage is outside of any control. We believe that is due to under-the-table money and laundering," Trond Bentestuen, a DNB executive, told Norwegian website VG, the Local reported.

"There are so many dangers and disadvantages associated with cash, we have concluded that it should be phased out," he added.

Yes!!  Cash should be phased out!!...EXACTLY as the Bible said it would be in the Last Days!!

When cash is gone everyone will need use some type of electronic means to buy or sell anything...and of course that means everything will be traceable by the government.

"But Dennis, 95% of everything I buy from groceries to movie tickets is already done with a VISA card...and the government can already track all that...so I don't really care if the last 5% of what I buy has to be done electronically."

Yes, yes, I get that....95% of everything I buy is also on my VISA.  It's become so easy and so acceptable everywhere that it's easier to use that than to fish out my wallet and dig for paper and coins!

But there is coming a day when your VISA will need a chip to work....and that chip (or mark) will need to be on your arm or forehead.  And any that take this mark will forever lose their chance at spending eternity with Jesus.

Thankfully, we followers of Christ will have already been called into the clouds to meet Jesus before this happens.....but the fact that the world is heading cashless should give us more confirmation of the lateness of the hour we are in.  At any moment Jesus could break back into history and snatch His bride in the clouds.

Revelation 13:17
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Canada Bans Using Words "Mother" and "Father" in Schools

Here's how a conversation might happen in first grade at any school in North America:

"Hi...what did your mom pack you for lunch today?  I got peanut butter sandwich...."
"I don't have a mom...but my dad packed me tuna fish.'
"What happened to your mom?"
"I have two dads"
"I don't get it...how can you have two dads?"

Of course from here the conversation can get WAY OUT OF CONTROL!  Now the bully police, the feel-bad police, the PC police and 5 school counselors need to fill out papers in triplicate  before calling a public meeting with all parents and children who were involved in 'the incident'.

Well, according to this article, progressive Canada is going to nip this problem in the bud before it happens!  From now on the words MOTHER AND FATHER will be banned from public schools!

It used to be: "Heather has two mommies."

Now, it's: "Heather has two non-gendered and inclusive caregivers."

That's the language the New Democratic Party government in Alberta, Canada, is telling teachers and school administrators to use when adressing the adults with whom students are living. Out: "mother" and "father." In: "parent," "caregiver," "partner," whatever.

And God help you if refer to one of the little rascals as "him" or "her."

Here's the pertinent language from the rainbow-adorned "Guidelines for Best Practices" that the highminded-progressive NDP government issued last week:

School forms, websites, letters, and other communications use non-gendered and inclusive language (e.g., parents/guardians, caregivers, families, partners, “student” or “their” instead of Mr., Ms., Mrs., mother, father, him, her, etc.)."
The purpose of the guidelines, according to the text, is to create "learning communities" that "respect diverse sexual orientations, gender identies, and gender expressions."

And that means that the kids, no matter how young or how old, get to pick their own gender and force everyone else in the school to abide by their choice:

Self-identification is the sole measure of an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression....
Some individuals may not feel included in the use of the pronouns “he” or “she” and may prefer alternate pronouns, such as “ze,” “zir,” “hir,” “they” or “them,” or might wish to express themselves or self-identify in other ways (e.g., Mx. instead or Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss, or no prefix at all)....

When creating student/staff lists, school staff ensure gender designations are not included either beside individual names or as a composite number for the group
Trying to remember whether little "Mx." Jones wants to be a "zir" or a "hir" sounds hard enough. But then the guidelines get to this:

If sports teams are divided by gender, students are given the opportunity to participate on the team that reflects their gender identity and expression… Students with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions have a right to accommodation when it comes to the use of washroom and change room facilities that are congruent with their gender identity. This applies during school time and school-related activities on and off school property.
And the "accommodation" means that if you're a girl and you don't like the idea of someone in the shower room who claims to be a girl but looks exactly like a boy anatomically, you're the one who has to move:

A student who objects to sharing a washroom or change-room with a student who is trans or gender-diverse is offered an alternative facility.
And also, adults who claim to belong to a different sex from the one they anatomically resemble get to be in that shower room, too!

Family members are able to access washrooms that are congruent with their gender identity.
Alberta, nestled in the Canadian Rockies and famous for its Texas-style cattle ranches and oilfields, used to be Canada's most conservative province, until the NDP swept the elections in May 2015.

And now that the Alberta progressives have consolidated their power over schoolchildren, you'd better not be overheard heard in the hallways saying, "So's your mama."

It's "So's your caregiver."

Have the liberals lost their collective mind?

We will say it once again...the traditional family is the FOUNDATION of any God-fearing society.  It was God's plan that one man and one woman would be fruitful, have children and raise them up in the fear of The Lord.

And WHO would it be that wants to tear down the family?

Yep....the Prince of this world.

Sadly, he seems to have been on a winning streak lately when it comes to issues, laws and rulings that tear apart the very fabric of this foundation.

Thankfully we follower of Christ knows who wins in the end.  But suffice it to say, things will continue to head out of control as the Day of the Lord nears.

New Madrid Could Shake America's Foundation

We first started blogging about the New Madrid earthquake fault line 7-8 years ago.  I actually wrote a paper on the devastating quakes of 1811-1812 back when I was in junior high so was somewhat familiar with the story line.

Jesus told us that we would see quakes in various places and that large quakes would increase as the nearness of His return drew close...like birth pains.

If a magnitude 8.0 hit the mid section of America, FEMA warns that it would be the most costly, devastating disaster to ever befall this nation.

Scientists KNOW that this will happen....they just don't know when,   But the fault line has been rumbling recently and we are overdue for a large quake again.

Most Americans expect the next great earthquake in the United States to come on the West Coast.  But what if it strikes right down the middle of the country instead? 

Thousands of Americans will die, tens of thousands of structures will be completely destroyed, and millions of people will find themselves homeless.

Unlike on the west coast, buildings within the New Madrid fault zone are typically not constructed to withstand major earthquakes.  If we were to see the type of earthquake that we saw a little over two centuries ago, it would be a disaster unlike anything that any of us have ever known.  The following comes from WKRN, and it describes what those earthquakes back in 1811 and 1812 were like...

Can you believe that in the winter of 1811-1812 a series of earthquakes in northwest Tennessee shook the ground so hard that church bells rang on the East Coast and sidewalks cracked in Washington D.C?

The sitting president, James Madison, was even awakened in the middle of the night by the shaking of the White House.

In Tennessee, and surrounding states, the early settlers and Native American Indians were terrified by the shaking. Large fissures opened up in the ground, and some witnessed the Mississippi River appearing to flow backwards.

It is believed that those quakes shook an area ten times larger than that impacted by the 7.8 San Francisco earthquake of 1906.  Some of the giant cracks that opened up in the ground were up to five miles long, and the stench of fire and brimstone hung in the air for months afterwards.

In a report filed in November 2008, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that a serious earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone could result in "the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States," further predicting widespread and catastrophic damage across Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and particularly Tennessee, where a 7.7 magnitude quake or greater would cause damage to tens of thousands of structures affecting water distribution, transportation systems, and other vital infrastructure.

This would be reason enough to make sure that we all have a few weeks of food laying around the house...because if that quake struck today the nation's grocery stores may be disrupted for weeks....or months.

We have always wondered if a New Madrid quake could be used to break America in two...just as our leaders are calling for Israel to be broken in two?

Of course we hope this never happens, but as Bible readers we shouldn't be surprised if it does.

Certainly, the New Madrid fault line has rumbled back into the prophetic headlines as of late.

Atheism Was at the Heart of the Holocaust

Have you ever had a liberal atheist say, "Yeah, well the Muslims might be having some problems now...but look at you Christians over the years!!  Remember the Salem Witch trials?  Remember the Crusades?!  Remember the Spanish Inquisition?!?"

Of course since most Christians aren't super confrontational....most will walk away when hit with these "zingers" by the liberals and wonder why Christians WERE so bad once upon a time.

In reality, all those zingers that atheist-liberals love to use to silence Christians from asking about Islam, are stupid.

There were like 3 people killed for being witches and that was some years ago in Massachusetts. That would hardly make the news today as we have that many killed by knives in Chicago every single day!

The Spanish Inquisition killed a few hundred people over 400 years.....Muslim terrorists do that many before breakfast just about every day on planet earth.

The Crusades were a series of wars, some were Evangelism crusades carried out by children. some were carried out by hired soldiers (mercenaries) who were sent to try and stop the Muslim invaders before they reached greater Europe.  And of course when you get big men, jacked up on adrenaline, blood, booty and lust...you have a recipe for some "collateral damage".  Certainly those hired soldiers weren't killing anyone in the name of Christ...and there would be some serious doubt as to the whether these mercenaries were born again and Holy Spirit filled.  However, some of these soldiers couldn't pass up the opportunity to kill Jews, but that can't be blamed on followers of Christ because CHRIST WAS A JEW!!

Anyway, today we find that atheists, even though they seem to want to claim the high ground because they are "beyond religion" are godless people who usually end up doing lots of godless things...including them being at the heart of the Holocaust against the Jews 70 years ago.

As UK Christians remember the Holocaust, marked on January 27 as the day in 1945 when Auschwitz was liberated, they have been reminded that it was spawned by godlessness and the rejection of faith.

Steven Jaffe, a member of the UK’s Jewish Board of Deputies, was addressing a largely Christian audience at a church in Sheffield, Yorkshire.

He said the exodus from Egypt was immediately followed by the battle with Amalek, who had no reason to attack Israel. There was no territorial dispute or history of conflict, for example. And they attacked the sick and the elderly – those who were most vulnerable. (Deuteronomy 25.17-18)

“The conflict with Amalek is not over,” he said. Amalek denied God and his power in the same way the Nazis did, and the latter mirrored their lack of mercy.

He recalled that Britain’s former Chief Rabbi, Lord Sachs, was once asked where God was during the Holocaust, to which he is said to have replied: “Where was man?”

My worry is that the growing influence of rank atheism in Britain and Europe will have a bearing on the future of anti-Semitism. The poisonous view that God does not exist naturally leads to godless behaviour and thought, even among those previously tutored in godly ways. The result is that even some who claim to have faith, and who perhaps stand in pulpits, start believing the lie that is proclaimed so often through almost every strand of media.

It is indeed frustrating that, as fast as we spread word about the horrors of the Holocaust, vowing that it should never be repeated, the vile infestation of anti-Semitism creeps into every crack and crevice of a broken society as the walls of a Judeo-Christian civilization come crashing down around us.

In polite Britain, hatred of Jews is generally not expressed openly, but often takes the form of a loathing of Israel, so that the very mention of the Jewish state is enough to raise the hackles, not only of the politically-aware man in the street, but of the semi-biblically aware man in the pew.

As Steven told the Bush Fire Church, such loathing cannot be explained in rational terms. But he was spot on target, I believe, in linking the phenomenon with a society that has thrown God out of the window. Pledges of never letting it happen again are not enough, in my opinion; without a recovery of faith in the God of Israel, there can be no guarantee that another holocaust won’t take place.

Here;  http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/28221/Default.aspx

Actually the Bible guarantees that another holocaust will take place against the Jews.  And the next one will kill 2/3 of the world's Jews. (read Zechariah)  The remnant of Israel will be saved by God and ultimately rescued by the return of Christ.

Of course Bible readers know WHY the world hates Jews.  It's really very simple.  Satan is the Prince of the World so the world hates Jews.  Also since God's prophetic word has SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS THAT INVOLVE ISRAEL AND THE JEWS....that Satan wants to make a stab at wiping out Israel and wiping out Jews.  He knows if he can then God's word would be broken....and what the heck does Satan have to lose in trying??

Anyway, back to the atheist-liberals.  If you find one throwing bogus claims at you because you are a Christian, remind them that atheism is a godless thought process and that godless people end up doing godless things.  And why wouldn't they?  People who don't believe in God don't believe will ever be accountable to anyone for anything!!

So why not rape a girl who is passed out?  Why not steal your neighbors stuff?  Why not seduce your neighbors husband?  Why not imprison a bunch of Jews and take their stuff?

"But Dennis, I'm what you call a "moral atheist"....because I still do good things!"

OK....and please tell us WHERE you get the definition of "good" so that YOU CAN DECIDE what is a good thing?

"Oh, I cant just feel it.  We all know in our hearts what is good."

What a liberal, pie-in-the-sky, load of horse poo!  NO ONE DOES "GOOD"!!  NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS "GOOD" unless we submit to the Holy Spirit and study the Word of God.

It was God who gave us the owners manual, the BIBLE, and told us how to live.   Without that, you are just free floating and have no right to tell ANYONE what is right and wrong, good or bad. All behavior then just becomes relative and cultural.

"Hi there!  In my culture we like to dress up little homeless boys as women and then sodomize them around the campfire!"...said the tribal leader from Afghanistan.

To which the liberal atheist has to reply, "Oh that sounds nice!  Is that part of your culture?  How long has that been going on?  Good for you...if that makes you happy...who am I to judge?"

Pope Meets With Iranian President

We know that Iran's President Rouhani was in Italy because they covered up the naked statues.

So since he was close to the Vatican, it only seemed natural that he needed to stop in there to catch a few laughs with the False Prophet Pope.  They are pictured together laughing on the front page of yesterday's Wall Street Journal. (For those keeping count...the Pope is on the front page AGAIN!)

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis met with President Hassan Rouhani of Iran on Tuesday — the first meeting between a pope and an Iranian leader in nearly 17 years — and urged Iran to play an “important role” in finding political solutions for the various conflicts afflicting the Middle East.

The two leaders stressed “the importance of interreligious dialogue” to achieve this aim and the responsibilities of religious communities “in promoting reconciliation, tolerance and peace,” the Vatican said in a statement.

The private, 40-minute encounter with the pope came midway into Mr. Rouhani’s packed agenda on his four-day visit to Italy and France, where he is trying to re-establish trade and business ties after years of crippling sanctions. The trip follows the lifting of sanctions on Jan. 16, after Iran was judged to have complied with last summer’s deal with six world powers to limit nuclear activities.

To shake hands with the pope and other world leaders is by itself a success for Mr. Rouhani, who has promised to restore ties with Western countries. Iran had long been isolated over its nuclear program, and the previous president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, alienated many world leaders with his statements denying the Holocaust.

Mr. Rouhani’s visit is the first to Europe since taking office. He planned to sign several contracts that he hopes will restart his country’s ailing economy. In Italy, he signed a gas deal, and in France he is expected to commit to buying 127 Airbus planes and sign a deal with the French carmaker Peugeot. The visit was widely reported in the pro-government press in Tehran.

The Vatican statement spoke of “the important role that Iran is called upon to fulfill” in promoting peaceful solutions to Middle East conflicts and countering the spread of terrorism and arms trafficking.

Here;  http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/27/world/middleeast/pope-francis-hassan-rouhani-meeting.html?_r=0

Now that is funny!  Iran is supposed to fulfill an important role in promoting peace??  They are the leading terrorist supporters in the whole wide world!!

Do you think that Pope has ever read his Bible??  Does he not understand that Iran's role in the near future will be to continue fighting with Russia while the rest of the Ezekiel 38 coalition builds?  And that Iran will be a major player in the coalition that will descend upon Israel like a demonic horde?

Of course the Pope doesn't understand that.  Probably because he believes in REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY....like a lot of Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists and many other protestant faiths.

They think God is done with Israel and many times this goes hand in hand with believing that all prophecy in the Bible has already been completed....so they really don't end up watching for anything that Jesus told us to watch for.

I have always had the feeling that this passage may apply to many who embraced Catholicism while on this earth..., "But Lord, Lord!  Didn't we prophecy in your name?  Didn't we cast out demons in your name?'  And I will say to them "Depart from me.  I don't know you."

Are there Catholics who have accepted Christ and will be part of the Bride of Christ when the trumpet blows?  ABSOLUTELY!!

Will there be many that are left behind??  ABSOLUTELY!!

Will the Pope be left behind?  I have NO IDEA what his personal relationship is with Jesus Christ...BUT....his comments since he became Pope make me wonder how much truthful fruit of the Gospel he is actually bearing.

ISIS Has Libya's Chemical Weapons

What would happen if ISIS starts lobbing mortar shells filled with sarin gas into cities all over the Iraq, Syria and wherever else ISIS plans on moving into?  What if the images of thousands of dead kids killed by poison gas made it to our TV's and interrupted our Super Bowl week?

Would that be a "red line" for President Obama?  Would the "civilized world" then be forced to stand up, put together a huge ground force and invade ISIS territory and wipe them out?

Don't hold your breath.  That "red line" was crossed a long time ago and all Obama did was erase the red line.

The rest of the "civilized world" doesn't have the desire to lose any of their soldiers dying for some other people that haven't directly attacked their nation.  America would have to lead that battle....and quite frankly, I don't think we have the money or the stomach for a ground war with ISIS.  We would prefer to drop bombs on them from 5 miles up then fly home and have a Bud Light.  And to be honest, if that strategy could work, I would be all for it.  I certainly don't want my boys trudging across Libya trying to figure out which Muslims are ISIS while looking for mustard gas.

Former Libyan official: ISIS got Qaddafi's chemical weapons

Libyan former intelligence official Ahmad Qadhaf Al-Dam recently said that the Islamic State (ISIS) and other terrorist groups had gotten hold of the chemical weapons that had remained in Libya from the regime of former dictator Muammar Qaddafi.

The comments by Al-Dam, who is a cousin of Qaddafi, were made in an interview with the Egyptian Dream TV network on January 18. They were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

“You said that ISIS has gained control of poisonous gases, such as the lethal sarin gas. Where did you get that information from?” the interviewer asked.

Al-Dam replied, “It is no secret that these gases exist in Libya. To be fair, ISIS is not the only one. Everyone has poisonous gases. It's not only in Libya. Everybody knows this. The Western countries know this. They have spies [in Libya]. They are the ones who attacked Libya, and then left these dangerous weapons there.”

Asked about Western countries’ claims that they had forced Qaddafi to get rid of his arsenal of chemical weapons, Al-Dam replied, They didn't force him. It was part of a deal. There was no longer any justification for building a [nuclear] bomb. For whom would we build it? The Arabs had recognized Israel and had begun to collaborate with it. We in Libya didn't have an enemy for which to build a nuclear bomb. This enterprise began in the early 1970s, when the Arab nation wanted to produce a weapon that would deter the Zionist enemy. But today, we have become on the best terms with the Zionists, so why would we want such a weapon?”

Here;  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/207166#.VqpQufkrLIU

Wow!....they are on the best terms with the Zionists!  That's simply amazing.

The Bible says that Libya will one day join the Ezekiel 38 coalition who will  plan the destruction of Israel.

Here is what I do know....if ISIS were to ever dare launch chemical weapons into Israel, and let's just pretend they chose Syria as the launching point....Israel would drop a nuke on the entire city so fast it would make your head spin.

Now go read Isaiah 17 again.  If you Google the pictures out of Syria, much of Damascus has already been reduced to a pile of rubble....

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

Italy Covers Nude Statues

The President of Iran is now making a world tour to start drumming up business now that Team Obama has signed a nuclear lie with them and released $billions in a failed attempt to get the leopards to change their spots.  Whew!  That was a mouthful!

So yesterday he was in Italy.  It turns out that the bankrupt Italians really wanted to impress their new found Iranian friend and certainly they didn't want to offend him!!...so they covered up all the nude statues that are visible all over in Italy.  They believed that if the President of Iran saw 2000 yr old nude, marble men he may get offended.

Call it a cover-up: Nude statues were hidden in Rome in an apparent attempt not to offend the visiting president of socially conservative Iran.

President Hassan Rouhani was in Italy on Tuesday as part of a European tour aimed at drumming up investment in Iran following years of international sanctions.

He met with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi in Rome's Capitoline Museums on Monday evening — where large white boxes covered up exhibits of nude statues from ancient Rome.

Italy's ANSA news agency said that the move to limit Rouhani's exposure was made out of respect for Iranian culture — and that officials opted not to serve alcohol at events with the president for the same reason.

Although it wasn't immediately clear whether Renzi's office or the museum had made the call to cover the statues up, but if nothing else, the move united both wings of Italy's notoriously fractious political spectrum.

Giorgia Meloni, a former minister in the government of ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and president of the right-wing Brothers of Italy party, said the move "exceeded all limits of decency" and posted on Facebook that "the only thing to cover is the face of Renzi, not our classic statues."

Meanwhile, Gianluca Peciola, a prominent leftist activist, started a Change.org petition demanding that Renzi explain the "disgrace and humiliation" of Italy's "violation of the principles of the secular state and national sovereignty." The petition had 904 signatures by late Tuesday.

The museum and the mayor's office told NBC News to contact the prime minister's office. The prime minister's spokesman did not return several calls and an email from NBC News.

I swear, the evidence continues to mount that all of Europe has lost their collective mind.

Do you not realize, Italy, that when you do things like this you are actually bowing to Islam and thus empowering them to make more demands that YOU CHANGE while THEY NEVER DO?

Do you think that Iran might stop their CALL TO PRAYERS coming from the mosque when an Italian leader visits Iran...because they believe those prayers might not be appreciated by someone from The West?

Don't hold your breath.  Islam says it will never change for outsiders, but certainly they expect the outsiders to change for them.

Another Day, Another Muslim Terrorist Arrested

Some of the liberals I debate in my own family will say, "Dennis, there have been just as many terrorist acts carried out by non-Muslims as Muslims!"

First off, that's wishful thinking.  The liberals use statistics that compare 9/11 Muslims killing 3000 in an elaborate terrorist plan and say it counts the same as the white dudes holed up in a state park in Oregon that no one visits in winter anyway.  Oooooooo!!!  That IS terrifying!!!

Secondly, that comment makes no mention of the hundreds of Muslim terrorist operations that got stopped BEFORE THEY WERE CARRIED OUT.

Today we find another Muslim terrorist who was planning a massive murder event in Milwaukee.

 Thankfully he was thwarted before he could act.  But how many more Muslims are waiting in the wings for their day of glory....when they can make their god, Allah, proud of them?

Samy Mohamed Hamzeh, 23, had a plan, the Justice Department said: Kill more than two dozen people at a Masonic temple in Milwaukee and become an international jihadist superstar.

"I am telling you, if this hit is executed, it will be known all over the world," Hamzeh told two unnamed FBI sources in Arabic. "All over the world, all the mujahedeen will be talking and they will be proud of us. ... We are marching at the front of the war."

The larger the number of victims, the better, Hamzeh said. But 30 sounded about right.

"Thirty is excellent," he allegedly said. "If I got out, after killing 30 people, I will be happy 100 percent ... 100 percent happy, because these 30 will terrify the world."

Now, Hamzeh's alleged plans have been derailed. He was arrested Tuesday and charged with possessing machine guns and a silencer, as the DOJ announced.

"Samy Mohamed Hamzeh devised a detailed plan to commit a mass shooting intended to kill dozens of people," Acting United States Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad said in a statement. "He also said that he wanted this mass shooting to be 'known the world over' and to 'ignite' broader clashes. It is difficult to calculate the injury and loss of life that was prevented by concerned citizens coming forward and by the tireless efforts of the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force."

Here:  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/midwest/ct-milwaukee-temple-attack-20160126-story.html

America should not be bringing in any more Muslims to this nation until they can figure out what the heck is going on within Islam and have a national discussion about the Pew Study which confirms that the majority of Muslims want Shariah (Islamic law) to take over in any of their host countries.

"But Dennis, we can't ban people because of their religious beliefs?"

Yes we can.  Islam is a political system and those who adhere to it have NO INTEREST and mixing in America and enjoying our Constitutional Republic.  So we start with banning those Muslims.

"But Dennis, how are you going to do that?  Ask them a question?  We all know Muslims will lie to get around the questioner....oops....that just sounded pretty racist...didn't it?, said the liberal.

That's OK Ms. Liberal....we know what you were trying to say.

Let's start by identifying the poor Christians in Syria and Iraq who are running for their lives and being attacked on all sides by everyone.  Let's bring them to America and welcome them with open arms into our Judeo-Christian nation....where I'm going to be 100% certain they will thrive....and we won't have to worry about a single one of them planning to shoot up a mall in Milwaukee in hopes of bringing praise to Mohammad.

Rapture Resistance Reasoning

For those of us who are eagerly awaiting our Lord's return....do you ever wonder why so many folks in the church around you seem to be clueless as to what the Bible says is coming?

"Well Dennis, I don't like to think about it!"

What??  Why wouldn't you want to think about the glorious day The Lord comes for His bride?

"Well Dennis, it's all so confusing...I don't have time study those 'last days' events and make an opinion."

Really??  I'm not sure that excuse is going to play well when we meet our Savior.

Yesterday, Rapture Ready had this opinion in their NEARING MIDNIGHT section that I thought worthy to post and ponder.

Rapture-resistance Reasoning
While those who truly grasp the lateness of the hour and what the issues and events of these strange, troubled times mean, there is the overwhelming majority that hasn't a clue. This is neither surprising nor unexpected, because the vast part of the world's population is in spiritual darkness--without Christ, therefore without the Holy Spirit to guide thinking and comportment.

There are millions upon millions of others who are within Christendom--that is, who claim to be under the umbrella of Christianity. Most of these, statistics bear out, would not qualify as "Christian" under the definition of being "born again." That is, they haven't truly "believed" as given in Romans 10:9-10:

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

It is not my place--nor the place of any other person to say who is and isn't "saved" on an individual basis. However, we are to definitely hold to what the Bible tells us are the qualifications for becoming a child of God who will spend eternity with Him in Heaven. In the sense of discernment, we can say that those who hold to those biblical qualifications are "saved" and those who do not hold to those qualifications are not.

We will deal in this essay with those who fit within the category defined by the above prescription for being born again. I would like to get even more specific.

Among those who are truly born again, there are many views of how things will play out, prophetically speaking. At the same time, there are also many who don't know and many who don't care about prophecy--what God has foretold about their future. They are too busy living out their increments of life one heartbeat and breath at a time.

Sadly, the latter by far constitute the majority. That is, most don't know about Bible prophecy, and most don't care. They are aided and abetted in their willful ignorance by the pastors and Bible teachers within their church bodies in this disregard for the prophetic portion of God's Word. That prophetic Word is almost one-third of the Scripture the Lord has given us through His Love Letter to mankind.

Even more specifically, I want to concentrate for the moment on the doctrine of the Rapture of the Church--that twinkling of an eye moment Paul wrote about as recorded in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:52-55.

Of those who have truly been born again, there are few in number who know about the Rapture in concrete terms or who grasp that there will come that moment of being called into Heaven by their Lord. In America, even those who do understand that the Rapture is an event prophetically scheduled according to the Bible resist embracing the promise intrinsic within the doctrine of that imminent call from Christ. That is, rather than desire to hear Christ's call, "Come up here," (Revelation 4: 1) these want to first live life on earth and fulfill all of the anticipated pleasures it offers. It is primarily this group of believers to whom I address the thoughts that follow.

Notice, please, that I wrote as a qualifier, "in America.. It is in America that this attitude of not embracing the Rapture among Christians is most pronounced. Proof of that statement is made clear through the thousands upon thousands of sermons that are preached each week. The number of prophetic messages amongst those thousands of sermons are infinitesimal. People don't want to hear that Christ's call is imminent. The pastors--in overwhelming numbers--demonstrate that they don't want to delve into that portion of Bible truth--even if, indeed, they in fact believe that the Rapture is an imminent event.

Not desiring the Rapture is, for American believers, as natural as breathing. Life in the United States is not bad, and for the most part, pretty comfortable. Compared to living as a Christian in, say, the Middle East, Africa, or other parts of the world, being a Christian requires that no heavy price be paid. That is what I mean when I say it is as natural as breathing.

Christians in America, unlike their counterparts in less blessed, heavily oppressed, persecuted parts of the world, rather than worrying about whether they will be able to provide food for themselves and their children for the day, look forward to their upcoming marriages, vacations, or new purchases that will satisfy their latest comfortable lifestyle aspirations. These physical and psychological wants and needs are the natural outflow from abundance. Longing for the Rapture is a spiritual--supernatural--exercise that requires, for most, effort that seems to offer no tangible, immediate gratification. Such effort is just too taxing for most of America's Christians and their pastors. It takes them out of their comfort zone, much as does prayer and Bible reading.

When American Christians in this category do think of the Rapture--which, again, they in fact believe is a thing that will happen, but somewhere in the hazy years of the future--they fear it will take them away from the pleasures of this earthly life. That event will, they think, snatch them from their comfortable American lifestyle. It will present a completely changed paradigm--one that will cause them to lose homes, family closeness, friendships, other relationships, and their "stuff"--all of which provides familiarity and pleasure.

This is especially true among the younger people. Their disinterest in prophecy in general and in the Rapture of the church in particular is more than obvious in the make-up of prophecy conferences. I can't see any longer, due to a retinal disease, but am told that the conferences are almost without exception attended nearly exclusively by those with gray hair.

Now, I've been perhaps too harsh on Christians in America. However, we are approaching the very end of this Church Age. The perhaps overly stern exhortation is to focus attention on the reality that we might within months, weeks, days, or even hours, look our Lord in His holy, omniscient eyes. He said He was going to prepare a place for us and would come again and take us there with Him (John 14:1-3). That "place" is something we can't even begin to fathom in its wonders and luxuriant surroundings. All of the relationships in this life we thought we might lose in the Rapture will be magnified in their joy and intimacy a million times over. We are going to find that all earthly treasures we so valued are as refuse compared to things the Lord has prepared for those that love Him.

I sense that the newlywed couple who belong to Christ will find their relationship with each other dazzlingly more intimate than anything planet earth could have nurtured. The "stuff" left behind will be instantly forgotten when we behold the heavenly treasury that holds us spellbound. The best days of our lives in this earthly confinement will seem as a time of terrible, debilitating paralysis. The Rapture will instantaneously bring life unencumbered by gravity and all laws of what we know as physics. The Lord put us here to enjoy the many good things He provides. There's nothing wrong in living life to its absolute fullest. But, this is not our home. We are but travelers in a foreign land. We are here for, at best, 70, 80, 90, or 100 years, then we slip these surly bonds.

We, as God's children, should not resist the doctrine of Rapture, but anticipate that glorious instant when the whole purpose of our being born into this universe reaches fruition. We will at that incomprehensible moment understand what it means to be joint heirs with Christ. Even so, Come, Lord Jesus!

I will say it again, but if you have NO CLUE about what Jesus clearly said to "Watch!" for or you aren't in the least bit excited for His return.....it's maybe time for a checkup.

The rapture will be one of the most amazing things to ever happen on planet earth.  The signs are all around us that the Great Tribulation is certainly much closer than most folks think...and yet many folks in church are sound asleep.

And even if the The Lord does tarry and doesn't come for us soon....MOST of my readers will be meeting Jesus in the next 40-50 years anyway due to their human bodies heading to the grave.

So whether it's Rapture or death...time is short for all of us!

I hope that I am part of the generation that Paul spoke of that never sees death!  I hope I go right from life to hearing the trumpet to meeting The Lord in the air!  How cool would that be?  It's gotta be one of the most exciting things to think about...right?

Maranatha!

Iranian President Asks Pope to Pray for Him

"Hey Dennis!  Isn't this a wonderful story of how love, tolerance and acceptance can lead to such spiritual harmony!  Let's sing now...."Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me....let there be peace on earth and sing in sweet harmony...."

Ummm.....no, I won't sing with you because the crazy Pope and Mohammed worshiper from Iran are playing cozy!

We aren't exactly sure WHO the Pope may pray to if he honors the Iranian President's request?  Is that a prayer he should send to St Thomas, St Patrick, St Albert or who?  Who is the Catholic Saint of the Muslims?  Is it that one you are supposed to bury in your yard when you go to sell your house??

As Iran's president faces controversies ranging from his country's secretive nuclear program to its support of terror and alleged human rights abuses, he had a simple request for Pope Francis on Tuesday: "Pray for me."

Hassan Rouhani's visit to the Holy See saw the first meeting between a pope and an Iranian president since 1999. Iran, which agreed to limit its nuclear activities in exchange for an end to economic sanctions, is eager to carve out a bigger role in mediating Middle East conflicts. Francis' papacy has been marked by mediation and conflict resolution.

Rouhani brought a gift of a hand-made rug. He told the pope the red-toned carpet was made in the Iranian holy city of Qhom.

The Iranian leader is on a four-day European swing to boost Iran's image abroad as well as to rehabilitate economic ties with a continent that had been a big trade partner before sanctions.

"I ask you to pray for me," Rouhani told Francis after their 40-minute meeting. He called the visit by the leader of a Muslim country to the head of the Roman Catholic church "a real pleasure."

Francis thanked Rouhani for the visit and added: "I hope for peace." He gave the Iranian a medal depicting St. Martin helping a poor man, an act Francis called "a sign of unsolicited brotherhood."

Ohhhh!!!.....it's St Martin who is the patron saint you pray to for the Muslims!!  So good to know!! (huge dose of sarcasm)

Friends, this Pope is convincing us more every day that if the Rapture were to happen soon, this Pope Francis would be the number one contender for FALSE PROPHET.

And how many people are in YOUR CHURCH who would read this article and say, "Oh that's just wonderful!  The world needs more peacemakers like these two courageous men!"

Satan appears to be pulling more and more strings every single day.  The deception is going to get worse.  True followers of Christ are going to be tested as even your friends and family will turn on you as you cling to the Word of God and defend it against all attackers.

I was reminded of this acronym today;  BIBLE= Basic, Instruction, Before, Leaving, Earth.

Are you ready to leave earth?  Are you excited about it, sad about it or filled with anxiety over it?

Can you explain your answer to yourself?  Can you explain it to others?

Obama Celebrates Roe v. Wade Anniversary

President Obama recently had some celebratory comments during the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade which legalized the killing of unborn babies in America.

“Today, we mark the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which affirmed a woman’s freedom to make her own choices about her body and her health. The decision supports the broader principle that the government should not intrude on private decisions made between a woman and her doctor. As we commemorate this day, we also redouble our commitment to protecting these constitutional rights, including protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her right to reproductive freedom from efforts to undermine or overturn them. In America, every single one of us deserves the rights, freedoms, and opportunities to fulfill our dreams.”

Really Obama?? How about the rights, freedom and opportunity of millions of babies who are never allowed to see the light of day?  

As Billy Graham and others have stated, the blood of millions of innocent babies is calling to their Creator asking HOW MUCH LONGER until our murderers receive justice?

How much longer can America continue murdering babies before God says ENOUGH!?

Many of us believe that we live in a Christian nation, but as you look at the drugs, porn, murder, violence and hedonism that America is bathing in...it makes one question that belief.

Is Planet X Going to Mess With Earth?

Friends, let me start out with saying I HAVE NO IDEA whether or not there is a newly discovered planet in our solar system.  And if there is, I HAVE NO IDEA whether or not that planet comes into the sight of earth once every 3500 years.

But what I do know is that the inhabitants of planet earth are increasingly talking about doomsday scenarios.  The movies, TV shows and articles that mention the words APOCALYPSE and ARMAGEDDON are staggering.

It would almost seem like humans are being prepared for something.

The other thing that I know is that the Bible says that in the Last Days the heavenly bodies will be shaken and men will faint with fear as they survey what is coming for them.

With that as a backdrop, check out this article and remember that the planet Nibiru (Planet X) has been spoken of for some decades.  First off NASA totally dismissed it as a impossible that a massive planet could be orbiting our sun that no one has ever seen.  And now last week they are saying that there is much evidence that there actually is a planet 10 times bigger than earth than may be orbiting our sun.

A bizarre apocalyptic scenario that originated decades ago is being raised again by autistic religious Jews in Israel who reportedly communicate spiritual messages through facilitated communication. Every aspect of this story is shrouded in controversy.

The Original Theory of Nibiru

Zechariah Sitchin (1920-2010) was a Russian-born Jewish scientist and author who suggested that there is a planet beyond Pluto called Nibiru (sometimes referred to as Planet X) which passes through our solar system every 3,600 years.

Approximately 50 years ago, Sitchin determined that Nibiru was about 50 years away from coming close again. According to the theory, its anticipated reappearance is expected to result in extensive damage to Earth’s land masses and death to millions. This kind of dramatic End of Days event could be seen as the fulfillment of these dark verses from the first chapter of Zephaniah:

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 A day of the horn and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high towers. 17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy; for He will make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the earth.

Sitchin’s books have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than 20 languages. In his best-selling book, called The Twelfth Planet, first published in 1991, Sitchin introduced the theory of Nibiru. His ideas are exceedingly controversial among scientists and academics who claim that his work is based on flawed reasoning, mistranslations and inaccurate assertions.
