Pentagon Confirms North Korean ICBM

Should it be concerning to the world that a pudgy little man who demands to be worshiped as a god could potentially launch an InterContinentalBalisticMissile and hit a target thousands of miles away from his wicked kingdom?

What if that silly little dweeb has figured out how to put a nuclear warhead inside that missile?

North Korea has developed a new long-range mobile intercontinental ballistic missile that the Pentagon says moves the country’s leader Kim Jong Un closer to the goal of building missiles capable of striking the U.S. mainland with nuclear warheads.

The new missile is called the KN-14 by the Pentagon and is a longer-range variant of the KN-08 road-mobile ICBM first made public in 2012.

Both the KN-08 and the new KN-14 have not been flight tested. But defense officials familiar with reports on the weapons said both systems have been tested in all other aspects of their development.

“It’s a KN-08 on steroids,” said one official of the new KN-14.

No details about the KN-14’s capabilities, such as its range, warhead carrying capacity, or the number of missiles were disclosed by the officials, who said reports of the missile were circulated by U.S. intelligence agencies within the past two weeks.

The new KN-14 missile was first displayed during an Oct. 10, 2015 military parade in Pyongyang. Its main external difference from the KN-08 is a shorter length and blunt nose cone.

Rick Fisher, a senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center who has studied the two missiles’ Chinese launchers, said Russia has estimated the KN-14 could have a range between 5,000 and 6,200 miles.

“From the far northern corner of North Korea, [6,300-mile] range is sufficient for the KN-14 potentially to reach Chicago and Toronto,” Fisher said.

“It may be a stretch to fulfill North Korea’s recent propaganda video called ‘Last Chance’ depicting a nuclear strike on Washington, D.C.”

Fisher, however, said the rapid development of the KN-14 from the KN-08 indicated Pyongyang could be capable of building even larger missile variants that would have sufficient range to strike Washington.

Think about the dangerous times that live in, and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY!

For the last 6000 years of human history, a crazy man was only able to kill who he could reach with a knife or spear.  It's only been in the last 70-80 years, with the advent of nukes and missiles, that now a crazy man could kill thousands or even millions.  One man, could potentially turn the world upside down in seconds.

For those who say, "Oh Dennis, the world has always been a dangerous place!  Nothing has changed!"....I would invite you to take a long look at history and the VERY RECENT deployment of WMD's.

ISIS May Be on Brink of Using Nuclear Weapons

If ISIS was actually able to procure and detonate a nuclear weapon....that would be some big news indeed!

I wonder if it would cross Obama's "red line" for using WMD's?

Harvard researcher Matthew Bunn revealed that extremist groups such as ISIS are “evolving” and could be armed with nuclear weapons in the near future.

The report on Managing the Atom by the US university researcher details the threat of three types of nuclear or radiological terrorism.

This includes detonation of a nuclear bomb, sabotage of a nuclear facility and use of a dirty bomb to spread radioactive material.

But the report looks in greater detail at the possibility of a nuclear bomb being detonated as it would be “most catastrophic”.

The report comes as the Nuclear Security Summit sets to take place today in Washington.

Western leaders including David Cameron are growing increasingly fearful that terrorist groups are closer than ever to their goal of obtaining a chemical or nuclear warhead.

The authors also wrote: “The radiation from a dirty bomb, by contrast, might not kill anyone—at least in the near term—but could impose billions of dollars in economic disruption and cleanup costs.

Can you even imagine the cost of clean up and disruption if a terrorist group was able to explode a dirty bomb in Manhattan?

Such an event might even get the nation's mind off of Donald Trump for a few news cycles....

America...Home of the Idiots

How long can a nation last that is full of idiots?  How long can a nation last that has over half of its citizens living off of money they never earned?

Ten years ago, a major Hollywood film entitled "Idiocracy" was released, and it was an excellent metaphor for what would happen to America over the course of the next decade.  In the movie, an "average American" wakes up 500 years in the future only to discover that he is the most intelligent person by far in the "dumbed down" society that he suddenly finds himself in.  

Sadly, I truly believe that if people of average intellect from the 1950s and 1960s were transported to 2016, they would likely be considered mental giants compared to the rest of us.  We have a country where criminals are being paid $1000 a month not to shoot people, and the highest paid public employee in more than half the states is a football coach.  

Hardly anyone takes time to read a book anymore, and yet the average American spends 302 minutes a day watching television.  75 percent of our young adults cannot find Israel on a map of the Middle East, but they sure know how to find smut on the Internet.  It may be hard to believe, but there are more than 4 million adult websites on the Internet today, and they get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined.

What in the world has happened to us?  How is it possible that we have become so stupid?  According to a brand new report that was recently released, almost 10 percent of our college graduates believe that Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court...

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni publishes occasional reports on what college students know.

Nearly 10 percent of the college graduates surveyed thought Judith Sheindlin, TV s "Judge Judy," is a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. Less than 20 percent of the college graduates knew the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation. More than a quarter of the college graduates did not know Franklin D. Roosevelt was president during World War II; one-third did not know he was the president who spearheaded the New Deal.

It's gotten so bad that, as my friend nears retirement, he says he is very seriously considering moving out of the country so as to escape what he sees will be the surefire collapse of functioning American society in the next handful of years due to the absolutely irrefutable destruction, the shocking and nearly hopeless dumb-ification of the American brain. It is just that bad.

Now, you may think he s merely a curmudgeon, a tired old teacher who stopped caring long ago. Not true. Teaching is his life. He says he loves his students, loves education and learning and watching young minds awaken. Problem is, he is seeing much less of it.

And of course things don't get much better when it comes to our college students.  In a previous article, I shared some statistics from USA Today about the rapidly declining state of college education in the United States...

-"After two years in college, 45% of students showed no significant gains in learning; after four years, 36% showed little change."

-"Students also spent 50% less time studying compared with students a few decades ago"

-"35% of students report spending five or fewer hours per week studying alone."

-"50% said they never took a class in a typical semester where they wrote more than 20 pages"

-"32% never took a course in a typical semester where they read more than 40 pages per week."

As we watch the Presidential campaign play out between an arrogant game show host, a Jr senator, a liar and a socialist...we may be getting a glimmer of what happens when idiots in a democracy get to choose their leaders.

Even more concerning for the fate of our nation is how quickly the upcoming generations are rejecting God, His-story, and His laws.

How long can a nation last who embrace same-sex marriage, can't discern the difference between male and female, ("male and female HE created them) kill babies by the millions for convenience, spend billions of hours and dollars watching other people have sex, worship sports and yet expect the government to provide food, shelter, clothing and pensions for all?

It sounds like a recipe for utter disaster!

There can be no doubt that this whole story of America would be VERY DEPRESSING if we didn't know that God has the whole thing under His control.  America will surely fall when God says, "Enough!"...and not one second sooner.

How thankful can we call be that Jesus has provided an eternal shelter from the soon coming wrath of Satan AND the soon coming wrath of God?

Psalm 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

Judges 17:6 
In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

In these days, America has no fear of The Lord.  Everyone just makes up their own rules and does whatever they want, whenever they want with whomever they want.

UN Names Israel as Top Human Rights Violator

As the headline says, "You can't make it up!"

With Muslims chopping heads, burning people alive, raping, torturing all through the Middle East...the UN took time from it's busy day to name Israel (the only free democracy in the Middle East) as the top offenders!

According to the United Nations, the most evil country in the world today is Israel. 

On March 24, 2016, the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) wrapped up its annual meeting in New York by condemning only one country for violating women’s rights anywhere on the planet – Israel, for violating the rights of Palestinian women. 

On the same day, the U.N. Human Rights Council concluded its month-long session in Geneva by condemning Israel five times more than any other of the 192 UN member states. 

There were five Council resolutions on Israel.  One each on the likes of hellish countries like Syria, North Korea and Iran.  Libya got an offer of “technical assistance.”  And countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia and China were among the 95 percent of states that were never mentioned. 

No slander is deemed too vile for the U.N. human rights bodies that routinely listen to highly orchestrated Palestinian versions of the ancient blood libel against the Jews.

Picture these real-life scenes:

In Geneva’s grand U.N. “Human Rights” Council chamber, 750 people assembled, pounced on the Jewish state, broadcast the spectacle online, and produced hundreds of articles and interviews in dozens of languages championing the results.

On the ground, Israelis are being hacked to death on the streets, stabbed in buses, slaughtered in synagogues, mowed down with automobiles, and shot in front of their children.

At the New York’s UN headquarters, 8,100 NGO representatives gathered from all corners of the globe, in addition to government delegates, and watched the weight of the entire world of women’s rights descend on only one country.

On the ground, Palestinian women are murdered and subjugated for the sake of male honor, Saudi women can’t drive, Iranian women are stoned to death for so-called “adultery,” Egyptian women have their genitals mutilated and Sudanese women give birth in prison with their legs shackled for being Christian.

Isn’t it about time that people stopped calling the U.N. a harmless international salon or a bad joke?

Here;  http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/03/29/can-t-make-it-up-un-names-democratic-israel-as-world-s-top-human-rights-violator.html?intcmp=hphz03 

This appears as simply more evidence that The World (all of it under control of the Evil One) has a supernatural hate for God's chosen people, the Jews.  Satan hates Jews and he hates Israel.  He spends a huge amount of time figuring out ways to convince the world that we would all be better off if Israel was removed as a nation...so that the Jews would once more be scattered all around and once again, have no nation-state to protect them.

Of course, this won't happen.  God clearly says in His Word that once the Jews are brought back to their land and the nation of Israel reformed, that it will NEVER be totally destroyed again.

The nation of Israel will still be standing, by the help of God, when Jesus returns at Armageddon.

Erupting Volcanoes Created Life?

Today we find an article from the Christian Science Monitor and it claims right in the headline how erupting volcanoes gave rise to life!

Really??  This should be good!...coming from a "Christian" magazine and all!

It took an ice age and the action of underwater volcanoes to create animal life on Earth, according to new research.

About 720 to 640 million years ago, the planet was in a phase descriptively known as Snowball Earth, during which most of the surface was covered in ice for tens of millions of years. But beneath the ice, underwater volcanoes were erupting, and creating new chemical reactions, according to a study published Monday in Nature Geoscience.

Geoscientists have long wondered "how and why the ocean chemistry changed as the ice suddenly melted," lead author Thomas Gernon writes in a commentary of his findings. 

The study, published with colleagues from the University of Southampton, sought to answer these questions and found that erupting underwater volcanoes during Snowball Earth played a key part in the planet's dramatic change.

Another consequence of Rodinia's breakup was the formation of tens of thousands of kilometers of underwater ridges, according to the researchers. While spewing lava was pushing Earth out of its ice age, it was also chemically reacting with the icy ocean: calcium, magnesium, silica and, the researchers think, even phosphorus were released.

Dr. Gernon writes that during this extreme climate phase on Earth, one would hardly expect complex life forms to be taking shape, and yet, this is what occurred.

The results of the study help explain the presence of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere and oceans, the building block that allowed animal life to evolve from single-celled organisms into animals.

"Before Snowball Earth, most living organisms in the sea were free-floating bacteria consisting of just one cell," he writes. But high phosphorus levels, triggered by the underwater volcanoes, would have stimulated the production of multicellular organisms such as algae in the ocean.

Here;  http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0119/How-erupting-underwater-volcanoes-ended-Snowball-Earth-and-gave-rise-to-life

Wait....what?  "most living organisms in the sea were free-floating bacteria..."  SO WHERE DID THAT LIFE COME FROM??

Of course the article conveniently skips over that HUGE, GAPING chasm!

I guess we just have to take a huge leap of faith and believe this scientist....that single cell life simply kept evolving in the sea....until it got sick of living there....and became a lizard, then a mouse, then a cat, then a monkey, then a man!!

It makes perfect sense!  Thank you Christian Science Monitor for so clearly explaining to us how our great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was a single cell bacteria floating in the sea!!

Wow!  Talk about delusion!

I thought SCIENCE meant something that was observable and testable....not some dude giving us his theory!  And yet I'm sure thousands of kids will be given this article and told of its "scientific" reality.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

Once you harden your heart against that fact....your heart can be hardened against all the other truths that the Bible has to offer us...truths about sin, wretchedness, selfishness and perversion.  Sins that ALL REQUIRE THE NEED OF A SAVIOR!

Majority of U.S. Voters Now Support Ban on Muslims

Have you guys seen the picture being emailed around with a big gumball machine?  Under the picture of all the gumballs it says, "10% of these gumballs are poisonous....so how many do you want?"

Of course the reference is to compare the gumballs to the oft quoted statistic that "Only 10% of the world's Muslims are extremist and/or support extremists."

Today we find out that a fair number of Democrats, Independents and Republicans support some type of ban on letting Muslims come unfettered into our FREE country.

Following the terrorist attack in Brussels, a slight majority of Americans now support a ban on Muslims entering the United States and think “the religion of peace” is a fundamentally violent religion.

In a poll conducted from March 24-25, YouGov asked 1,000 Americans whether they support Republican presidential Donald Trump’s proposal to enact a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

The poll found 30 percent of Americans “strongly agree” with a shutdown of Muslims entering the United States while 21 percent “agree somewhat” with the proposal.

In total, the poll shows 51 percent of Americans favor a shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

Support for the proposal is partisan, with only 32 percent of Democrats supporting it compared to 52 percent of Independents and 82 percent of Republicans.

Here;  http://www.mrctv.org/blog/poll-majority-americans-now-support-ban-muslims-entering-us

Friends, please remember that the Muslims are lost.  They don't know Jesus and they are currently on the "wide road that leads to destruction."  They need Christ, just like we do, and are hungry to hear the Gospel story. So personally, we are all supposed to scatter seed and use love to draw people to us so we have the chance to scatter that seed.  If your neighbor or co-worker is a Muslim, please don't treat him with disdain, prejudice or suspicion.  If you do, there's a good chance that YOU won't get the opportunity to present the Gospel to him.

BUT...nations operated under different rules that individuals.  Nations need to have borders, immigration limits, border fences, border patrols and they also need to understand WHO is seeking to come into this nation.

When 99.9% of terrorist attacks over the past 15 years have been committed by people saying "Allah akbar!" before they shoot, murder or blow themselves up.....isn't it common sense to want to take a hard look at WHO SAYS ALLAH AKBAR before we allow them into America and put them on the path to citizenship?

Temple of Baal Coming to NYC

Remember the god of Baal from the Old Testament?  He was certainly a pretty nasty, perverted demon that the folks were worshiping.

"Yea Dennis, I'm sure glad we don't worship Baal in America anymore.  We know better!"

Hold on there!....not so fast!  Sounds like Baal might be making a big comeback not only in America but all over the world.

The reproductions of the 50 foot arch that stood at the Temple of Baal in Palmyra, Syria that will be erected in New York City and London next month will only be the first of many. 

If you go to Times Square in New York or Trafalgar Square in London late next month, you will not be able to miss these giant arches.  According to the New York Post, they will be 48 feet high and 23 feet wide...

The life-size model of the original 2,000-year-old structure, known as the Arch of the Temple of Bel, will stand approximately 48 feet high and 23 feet wide.

It will be one of two constructed in China for exhibition likely in Times Square and London s Trafalgar Square as part of a World Heritage Week event in April 2016, said Roger Michel, executive director for the Institute for Digital Archaeology.

I suppose that it is appropriate that these giant arches are going to be made in China, because it seems like almost everyone is being made over there these days.

But these are not the only two giant arches that are going to be made.  That same article from the New York Post says that the Institute for Digital Archaeology ultimately hopes to put 1,000 of these arches in cities all over the globe...

The institute plans to construct approximately 1,000 such versions of the arch in cities throughout the world.

If you are anything like me, this is an extremely disturbing development.  Baal worship is definitely not something that we should be celebrating as a society.  There were very good reasons why the God of the Bible found it so incredibly repulsive.  The following description of what went on during Baal worship comes from Scott Brown...

We know that there were usually lots of people gathered, often on a high hill (like a theatre or stadium) to observe public sex, just like we see in movies and television and on the internet (Numbers 22:41, I Kings 12:25-33). We think that our watching these things is different than the idolatry of old, but this is not so.

The whole community came out and all of the best pagan ideas for success in crops and fertility were promoted, just like a business seminar that promotes unbiblical ideas that justify the worldliness of its origin.

The wicked personalities (promoters and performers) were respected and given the platform (like rock stars and Hollywood s People .) Some of them were great dancers (like Brittany Spears and Madonna) while others were great musicians (like Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney) (I Kings 15:12-14). In our day, people who go to our churches celebrate celebrities when they should be doing the opposite. Psalm 101:1, 3 says I will walk in my house& I will set no wicked thing before my eyes&

People danced around the Asherah pole, which was nothing more than a phallic symbol. It is quite possible that these poles functioned somewhat like the poles in what are called, gentlemen s clubs. The people also acted out lustful, licentious, bawdy scenes for the enjoyment of all who came (Isaiah 57:5-8; Deuteronomy 23:17).They had all the different kinds of sexual experiences on display including men with women, men with men and all of the combinations that are popular today in sit-coms, movies and news reports. On top of that, they invited the crowd to participate (I Kings 14:24).

We like to think that we are so much more advanced than people back then, but are we really?

Just like ancient Baal worshippers, we are a society that is addicted to watching other people have sex.  In fact, it has been estimated that 68 percent of all Christian men watch pornography on a regular basis.

The prophecy watcher that wrote the above article believes this news of Baal Temples to be the biggest story yet of 2016.

Let me remind you friends, OUR GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED.  Also, He is a jealous God and is NOT a respecter of people or nations.  Nations that turn from him, do wicked things and put Him to the test WILL BE TORN DOWN.

The only nation that has a promise to be on earth until the very end is Israel.  Every other nation can blow away like the wind.  The fact that NYC/America is going to put up a Baal arch right in the heart of the world's financial district is not just a coincidence.

We don't know when God's mercy will run out for America but you can be certain that erecting a Baal Temple brings us one day closer to the day when God says, "Enough!".

Special Torah Scroll Completed for Messiah

The Christians are watching for Jesus to return.

The Muslims are watching for the 12th Imam to return.

The Jews are watching for their messiah to return.  They even completed a special scroll to present him when he arrives!!

Last week, Rabbi Yosef Berger, one of the rabbis in charge of King David’s Tomb in Jerusalem’s Old City, took an enormous step towards making his year-long dream a reality.

Rabbi Berger’s dream was to write a Torah scroll to present to the Messiah upon his arrival. Since David’s Tomb, the burial place of the Messiah’s ancestor, is located on Mount Zion, Rabbi Berger is uniquely positioned to personally present the Torah to the Messiah.

The Rabbi believes that by writing a Torah scroll which includes all of Israel, and keeping that scroll on Mount Zion, it will fulfill the requirements to usher in the Messiah.

Of course, New Testament readers realize that Israel/Jews have some very hard times ahead as they will accept the Antichrist as their Messiah.  He will turn on them 3 1/2 years after the peace agreement that HE helped put in place.

The chess pieces continue to be put into place for the worst time the world has EVER seen.

I don't need to remind regular readers that Jesus said these coming days of Tribulation will get SO BAD that if He didn't cut them short by His return...NO FLESH would survive.

Christians in Pakistan Blown Up By Muslims

Another day, another Muslim screaming ALLAH AKBAR! as he detonates his suicide vest.

I'm sure before the day is out, President Obama and the media will caution us all about not giving into Islamaphobia....

Sigh....

Today we find out that while Christians were celebrating Easter in Pakistan, another dude stepped in the festivities and yelled ALLAH AKBAR before blowing up a vest filled with screws, nails and shrapnel....

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A bombing on Easter Sunday killed 65 people in a park in the eastern city of Lahore that was crowded with Christians, including many children.

A breakaway Pakistani faction of the militant Taliban group claimed responsibility. Ahsanullah Ahsan, spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, told the Associated Press that a suicide bomber with the faction deliberately targeted the Christian community.

The explosion took place near the children's rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park local police chief Haider Ashraf said. He said the explosion appeared to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations were ongoing.

The attack killed 65 people and wounded over 300, said Deeba Shahnaz, a spokesman for Lahore rescue administration.

Punjab's chief minister Shahbaz Sharif announced three days of mourning and pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice, said Zaeem Qadri, a spokesman for the provincial government.

This morning, CBS Morning had a blurb from John Kerry saying something like, "Everywhere I go around the world, people ask me, what is going on in America with this talk of banning Muslims? We are starting to be looked at as strange that we have this irrational fear.  That's just not who America is."

Blah, blah, blah...

As we have pointed out, a PHOBIA is actually an irrational fear of something...and with Muslims blowing themselves up in Paris, Brussels, New York, and 57 other places in the past few years...the fear of what Islam is doing in the name of their god, Allah, can hardly be called irrational.
