ISIS Burns Turkish Soldiers Alive

How will Turkey respond to the high-def video ISIS just released of them burning alive two Turkish soldiers?

Could this serve to bring them closer in line with Russia?

One thing for sure...it is terrifying to think about.

If ISIS wants to be terrifying terrorists....they are doing a pretty good job of it.

Islamic State terrorists have released a video which purportedly shows two captured Turkish soldiers being burned alive in Aleppo province, Syria. Jihadists said it was a revenge for Ankara’s involvement in a "war against Muslims".

The video titled “The Cross Shield,” which was apparently released by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) but is not being shared for ethical reasons, shows two men alleged to be Turkish servicemen being burned alive somewhere in the countryside.

The servicemen are shown chained in cages. Terrorists then lead them on all fours to their execution site, while the executioner refers to them as “dogs”. The two men are heard presenting themselves off camera as members of Turkish Gendarmerie Intelligence Organization, a controversial agency. However, on camera, the men simply urge Turks to stop “fighting Muslims.”

The executioner accuses the Turkish government and President Erdogan of “burning Muslims” before setting the prisoners on fire until they burn to death.

The video appears to have been an impressively staged production, shot from several angles in high-definition and high-speed cameras, and sound tracked with religious songs. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.

Can there be any doubt the Islam has been playing with the devil since its inception....and now the devil has come home to roost.

I feel so sorry for all the little kids in Syria, Iraq and other Muslim nations who are enduring some of this hell on earth.  But God clearly warned men NOT to accept messages brought by other gods...because those gods will be part of Satan's realm.

If you continue to bow to Satan and his minions by rejecting Christ and accepting a lie...ultimately you are going to pay a price.

What we are seeing transpire in Syria, Iraq, Libya, etc....is what happens to nations that are "given over" by God.  His protection is pulled and all hell breaks loose.

Romans 1

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

The Rapture of the Church is a Sign-less Event

Yes, there is certainly some serious disagreement when it comes to End Times and what the Bible says.  I totally get it.

I like what Dr David Jeremiah says, "Yes there are other opinions besides Pre-Trib when it comes to end times....they are wrong...but there are other opinions." (laughter by congregants)

A reader sent me some older articles lambasting Prophecy Conferences and reminding us of all the people who have come along in the last 2000 years and whooped up lots of folks by saying "Jesus is coming!"  It's like the Little Boy who Cried Wolf....ultimately no one believes what you are saying.

Currently we have prophecy conferences happening all over the country and they are very well attended.  Are we getting all caught up in foolishness again?  Will we be embarrassed if we all die of old age in 50 years and still haven't seen the Lord's return?  Worse....would we have brought dishonor to the Lord by preaching his soon return...only to have him tarry another 100 or 1000 years?

For centuries Bible prophecy pundits have predicted that the end was near. They appealed to the same types of signs: wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, and false religions. They all had one thing in common. They’ve all been wrong.

None of this has stopped contemporary prophecy writers and speakers from claiming that the end is near. My library is filled with their books. I’ve debated dozens of them over the years.

Prophetic predictions wouldn’t be much of a problem except that millions of people fall for the claims and the effect on our nation’s social, political, and moral landscape has been devastating.

Once again the usual suspects are gathering at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, in October of this year to tell an eager and naïve audience that all the signs are aligned for an inevitable end-time event.

Anybody familiar with the history of Bible prophecy knows, all of this has been done before. In fact, there is a nearly 2000-year history of predicting some type of prophetic event based on wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, and apostasy. Consider Frank X. Gumerlock’s The Day and the Hour, a nearly decade-by-decade chronicle of prophetic speculation.

People like Hal Lindsey and Chuck Smith, both popular prophecy authors who have sold tens of millions of prophecy books, assured us that the prophetic excrement would hit the fan by 1988.

I suspect that the majority of attendees who will sit under Mark Hitchcock, Jan Markell, Ron Rhodes, Erwin Lutzer, Jonathan Cahn, among others, will not realize that only the names, events, and dates have changed. They will be hearing regurgitated prophetic speculation in the name of the Bible.

In 1970 Hal Lindsey, who spoke at the 2005 “Understanding the Times” prophecy conference, argued that Israel becoming a nation again in 1948 was prophetically significant. He then turned to Matthew 24:34: “This generation will not pass away until all these things took place.” He stated that a generation was 40 years in length. He then argued that with the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948 and the 40-year length of a generation that the so-called “rapture of the church” would take place before 1988.

Let’s not forget Edgar Whisenant’s booklet 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will be in 1988. I debated him in 1988 on radio. He told the audience, “If I’m wrong in my calculations, then the Bible is wrong.”

This author goes on to say that prophecy folks are contradicting themselves in claiming that the rapture is a sign-less event...and then telling everyone to watch for the signs!  Of course he is missing what prophecy watchers are clearing saying.  The rapture has NO SIGNS.  The rapture has always been imminent.  But the coming GREAT TRIBULATION does have signs.  We will see wars, rumors, famines, pestilence, increase of knowledge, Russia-Iran-Turkey coalition building, Israel back in the land, race against race, one world government fomenting, cashless society made a possibility, etc....  These are all signs that the earth is groaning for Christ to return.

"When you say ALL THESE THINGS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN then lift up your heads for your redemption is near."--said Jesus.

As Dr David Jeremiah says, "When you see the Christmas decorations go up at all the stores...you know that Thanksgiving is close."

As I watch the news and read the headlines and read my Bible, I have NO IDEA when Jesus is coming....but I certainly would not be surprised if it happened very soon!  The Christmas decorations have gone up and we await Thanksgiving which must come first!

"Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King!"

1 Thess. 5

4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Gold is Now Effectively Illegal in India

In the last 8 years I bet that many of you have heard people say, "Only gold is real money....everything else is just paper."

It's true that the $20 bill in your wallet is only paper.  There is NOTHING backing it up except the confidence you have that someone will take it from you tomorrow in exchange for eggs and milk.

Gold has been money for thousands of years whereas paper money comes and goes.  Look at Venezuela.  They are now burning their money for fuel because it is worthless.

But what happens if the government that prints your paper makes gold illegal?

"Dennis, that could never happen!"

Jayant Bhandari warns "there are clear signs that in a very convoluted way, possession of gold for investment purposes will be made illegal" as he discusses India's attempts to create a cashless society (and consequences of it) and why precious metals and geographical diversification are the most viable options investors around the world, not just India, should be taking.

"The situation is getting worse by the day... people are desperate"

Assaults on people’s private property and the integrity of their homes through tax-raids continue.  In a recent notification, government has made it clear that any ownership of jewelry above 500 grams of gold per married woman will be put under the microscopic scrutiny of tax authorities.

Steep taxes and penalties will be imposed on those who cannot prove the source of their gold. In India’s Orwellian new-speak this means that because bullion has not been explicitly mentioned, its ownership will be deemed to be illegal. Courts will do what Modi wants. Huge bribes will have to be paid.

Sane people are of course cleaning up their bank lockers. The secondary consequence of this will be a steep increase in unreported crimes, for people will be afraid of going to the police after a theft, fearing that the tax authorities will then ask questions. At the same time, the gold market has mostly gone underground, and apparently the volume of gold buying has gone up.

The salaried middle class is the consumption class, often heavily indebted. Poor people have limited amounts of gold. The government is merely doing what pleases the majority and their sense of envy, to the detriment of small businesses and savers. Now, the middle class is starting to face problems as well. This will worsen once the the impact of the destruction of small businesses becomes obvious.

India has always had a negative-yielding economy. It has suddenly become even more negative-yielding. Business risk has gone through the roof. Savers will be victimized. It is because of negative yields that Indian savers buy gold. They will buy more going forward.

Sane Indians should stay a step ahead of their rapacious government and the evolving totalitarian society, which are less and less inhibited by any institutions or values in support of liberty.

"OK Dennis, maybe that could happen in India, but it could NEVER happen in America!  This is America!!"

Ummm.....better think again.  Gold was illegal to own in USA until law was lifted in 1974

FDR Outlaws Gold
One of FDR’s first acts as president, therefore, was to declare the fact that Americans were withdrawing their gold and currency from the beleaguered banking system “a national emergency.” He ordered all banks to close from March 6-9 “in order to prevent the export, hoarding, or earmarking of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency.”

Because he believed this action was not sufficient to prevent runs on banks and the resulting drain of gold from the system, on April 5, 1933, one month after taking office, Roosevelt used the powers granted to the president by the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 to make gold ownership illegal. He issued Executive Order 6102, which made gold ownership—both in coins and in bars—illegal for all Americans and punishable by up to ten years in prison. Anyone caught with gold would also have to pay a fine of twice the amount of gold that was not turned over to the Federal Reserve in exchange for paper money.

Here;  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-mariotti/when-owning-gold-was-ille_b_10708196.html

Yes!  "Please bring all your gold and valuables to your local bank and exchange them immediately for PAPER MONEY!  Anyone caught not doing this will be subject to 10 years in jail and $100,000 fine."

The Germans Are a Bunch of Cowards

No matter what the Muslim extremists do.....they know that their hosts in Europe will continue to look the other way and and say "We won't let a few extremists ruin our day!"

That's fine.....but what happens if it turns out to be thousands of extremists?  Could that ruin your day?  Could that ruin your country?

What if back in the 1930's someone in Germany said, "We aren't going to let a few Nazis change our country!"....oh wait....maybe they did?

It is no secret that Islamists consider the Germans as a bunch of cowards. “You love life, we love death”, they continue to repeat. Because wherever they look, the combatants of Allah see only people and governments only too ready to capitulate.

And Germany is Europe’s soft underbelly. The Bundeswehr, Germany’s army, already belongs to history; the country has welcomed more than one million Muslims; German ministers envision the creation of an “official Islam”, while German churches are closing at weekly

 rythm; the Sharia courts are already operating; comedians such as Jan Bohmermann are criminalized and the “night of Cologne” with its mass sexual attacks on women has already been justified by feminists and multiculturalists.

We could have hailed a meaningful change in the German policy toward Islamic terrorism if the day after the carnage at the Christmas market in Berlin, a couple of German war planes had bombed the Islamists’ bases in the Middle East and pulverized a few dozen of them.

Nothing happened. Nothing will happen. 

Through these random attacks, Muslims are now trying to understand if and how they can defeat the West. They poured into the streets to demonstrate against the caricatures of Mohammed and found themselves at movie theaters to celebrate the defeat of the Americans in Iraq. They understood that they can succeed.

Aliens Ask Us to Build Them an Embassy

Sorry folks....but you are gonna have to handle two alien posts in a row....as I just finished posting the previous post a few minutes ago.

After posting the previous post, I then remembered I hadn't checked in for a while on the progress regarding the ELOHIM EMBASSY so went to their site to see how these aliens were doing in the process of getting their building built.

Remember, these aliens are saying that when this embassy is built it will qualify as the THIRD TEMPLE mentioned in the Bible to built in the Last Days.

The hour of the Great Return of an ET civilization, the Elohim, is near.

They are sensitizing us with crop circles and sightings, so as to psychologically prepare us for an official and peaceful contact.

They need an embassy so as to be able to meet with mankind officially. This embassy will be neither a princely palace nor a cathedral, but rather a beautiful building possessing the comforts to which anyone today is entitled, with the diplomatic immunity that even the smallest state has for its embassy.

The country which will see the Embassy built on its territory or on a territory it gave or sold for this purpose and which will have granted the necessary extraterritorial status, will have a guaranteed and flourishing future, will benefit from the Elohim’s protection and will become the spiritual and scientific centre of the whole planet for the millennia to come.

Here;  http://elohimembassy.org/embassy/

"But Dennis, this is crazy!  Certainly there are not people out there actually proposing we build an alien embassy?  This is a joke, right?"

Nope.  There are quite a few scientists from all over the world that have already signed on for the project.

The purpose, of course, is to deceive the world and usher in a ONE WORLD RELIGION.

The visitor dictated a series of messages explaining that life on Earth is not the result of random evolution. Nor is it the work of a supernatural god. Instead, it is the creative product of extremely sophisticated genetic engineering techniques performed by the Elohim. These are highly advanced extraterrestrial scientists who made human beings “in their image”, what one could call “scientific creationism”.

References to these extraterrestrial scientists and their work, as well as to their symbol of infinity, can be found in the ancient texts of many cultures.

For example, in the Biblical account of the creation in Genesis, the word Elohim has been mistranslated by the singular word God. It is actually a plural word meaning “those who came from the sky.” The singular of Elohim is Eloha (also known as Allah).

After being invited on a French TV show where he gave details of his encounter, thousands of people wanted to help him with his mission: to spread the messages they gave him and build an Embassy to welcome our Fathers from space.

On October 7 1975, he had another encounter with the same extraterrestrial visitor who this time took him to their planet where he met previous Prophets such as Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed and some three dozen others who were all specially chosen and educated by the Elohim.

Here;  http://elohimembassy.org/et-embassy-promotor/

Also please note that these aliens have a close affinity to the Jews....which is why they want the embassy built in Jerusalem?

You see, according to them, the Jews are part Elohim and part human....which is why they are so special.

…the Jewish people, says Drori, have a very special part to play in the aims of the Raelian movement.

“Everyone else,” he explains, “was created in laboratories. But Jewish people are a combination of the Elohim and man” – they are part Eloha, part human – “so they feel more emotional toward the Jewish people”. This, he continues, is why they want to build their embassy in Jerusalem: “To be among their children, their sons.” This, to an outsider, stirs up Orwellian overtones: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Currently, work on the Elohim Embassy in Jerusalem cannot proceed, since the Israeli government has not granted extra-territoriality to the land on which they propose to build.

And here you have some more ideas on HOW the one world religion will form AFTER the rapture....because this guy went to the planet where all the prophets like Jesus, Moses, Buddha and Mohammed are all hanging out!!

When the trumpet blows and we are all snatched away....someone from this cult will certainly say that we have gone to be educated by Elohim....because everyone that was taken from earth were Bible readers and very serious about the Third Temple.

And all the people left behind on earth will look around and say, "Hey!  Yeah....everyone gone seems to be all those one Bible readers!"

If Aliens Showed up on Earth, What Would the Religions Say?

As I have written about here and said numerous times....I am almost 100% certain that after the RAPTURE happens the people left behind will use "Aliens" as part of the explanation as to where all the followers of Christ went.

There can be no doubt that the world has been prepared to believe that aliens have been visiting us from distant planets.  This is all part of the grand Satanic scheme to convince mankind that we ARE NOT SPECIAL and WERE NOT MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE....and in fact are nothing more than space dust.

Remember, these "aliens" are just demons/fallen angels in disguise.

Today we find this headline.

In 2014, Nasa awarded $1.1M to the Center for Theological Inquiry, an ecumenical research institute in New Jersey, to study “the societal implications of astrobiology”.

Some were enraged. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which promotes the division between Church and state, asked Nasa to revoke the grant, and threatened to sue if Nasa didn’t comply. While the FFR stated that their concern was the commingling of government and religious organisations, they also made it clear that they thought the grant was a waste of money. “Science should not concern itself with how its progress will impact faith-based beliefs.”

The FFR’s argument might well be undermined, however, when the day comes that humanity has to respond to the discovery of aliens. Such a discovery would raise a series of questions that would exceed the bounds of science. For example, when we ask, “What is life?” are we asking a scientific question or a theological one? Questions about life’s origins and its future are complicated, and must be explored holistically, across disciplines. And that includes the way we respond to the discovery of aliens.

This is not just an idle fantasy: many scientists would now argue that the detection of extraterrestrial life is more a question of when, not if.

There are several reasons for this confidence, but a main one has to do with the speed at which scientists have been discovering planets outside of our own Solar System. In 2000, astronomers knew of about 50 of these ‘exoplanets’. By 2013, they had found almost 850, located in over 800 planetary systems. That number may reach one million by the year 2045, says David Weintraub, associate professor of Astronomy at Vanderbilt University, and author of Religions and Extraterrestrial Life. “We can quite reasonably expect that the number of known exoplanets will soon become, like the stars, almost uncountable,” he writes. Of those discovered so far, more than 20 are Earth-size exoplanets that occupy a “habitable” zone around their star, including the most recently discovered Proxima b, which orbits Proxima Centauri.

With few exceptions, most of the discussions about Seti (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) tend to stay in the domain of the hard sciences. But the implications of Seti extend well beyond biology and physics, reaching to the humanities and philosophy and even theology. As Carl Sagan has pointed out in (the now out-of-print book) The Cosmic Question, “space exploration leads directly to religious and philosophical questions”. We would need to consider whether our faiths could accommodate these new beings – or if it should shake our beliefs to the core.

So what issues might the discovery of intelligent aliens raise? Let’s start with the question of our uniqueness – an issue that has troubled both theologians and scientists. Guiding Seti are three principles, as Paul Davies explains in the book Are We Alone? First, there’s the principle of nature’s uniformity, which claims that the physical processes seen on Earth can be found throughout the Universe. This means that the same processes that produce life here produce life everywhere.

Second is the principle of plenitude, which affirms that everything that is possible will be realised. For the purposes of Seti, the second principle claims that as long as there are no impediments to life forming, then life will form; or, as Arthur Lovejoy, the American philosopher who coined the term, puts it, “no genuine possibility of being can remain unfulfilled”. That’s because, claims Sagan, “The origin of life on suitable planets seems built into the chemistry of the Universe.”


The third, the mediocrity principle, claims that there is nothing special about Earth’s status or position in the Universe. This could present the greatest challenge to the major Abrahamic religions, which teach that human beings are purposefully created by God and occupy a privileged position in relation to other creatures.

Here;  http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20161215-if-we-made-contact-with-aliens-how-would-religions-react

Friends!  You aren't unique!  You aren't created in the image of God!  Life forms everywhere!  There nothing special about you!  You are just space dust!  You aren't a sinner....because there is no such thing as sin!  There is no heaven!  There is no hell!  You do not need a savior because there is NOTHING to save you from!

This sounds like doctrines of demons to me.  How about you?

1 Timothy 4
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

2 Thess. 2
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Hmmmm....just makes me wonder if THE LIE has something to do with the deception that "aliens" brought following the rapture?

Truck Plows Into Christmas Market in Berlin

Last week we posted on a 12 year old boy who tried to blow up a Christmas market in Germany....

Today we read that a truck plowed into a crowd at the Christmas market in Berlin and killed 9 and injured 50.

Do you want to take a wild guess what his motivation might have been?
A)  Mad about "false" sales at the market
B)  Upset that his eggnog was sour
C)  Super mad that German AARP had revoked his drivers license
D)  A Muslim extremist trying to kill infidels in the name of Allah

A truck plowed through a Christmas market in Germany's capital on Monday evening, killing at least nine and injuring 50, a spokesman for the Berlin police said.

The incident happened at Breitscheidplatz, a public square in the center of Berlin. The driver's nationality wasn't known, but police said his truck appeared to have Polish license plates.

The driver attempted to flee but was apprehended by police, they added.

A passenger in the truck was among those killed, police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said on German TV. The passenger died at the scene, Berlin police said in a post on Twitter. It immediately wasn't clear how the passenger died, or the relationship to the driver.

It wasn't clear whether the truck veered into the holiday crowds on purpose or by accident. But local German media cited police who said initial indications pointed to an attack, not a traffic accident. NBC News could not immediately confirm those reports.

Berlin police said on Twitter that the motives of the attack were so far unclear and a criminal investigation team was onsite.

Witnesses said victims were crushed by the truck.

Remember friends....as of yet WE DON'T KNOW who was driving the truck...it may very well turn out to be A, B or C.....but we are going to take a wild guess and say D.

Russia's Ambassador to Turkey Just Assassinated

Today we find breaking news that a Muslim yelled "Allah akbar!" and killed the Russian Ambassador to Turkey.

BREAKING NEWS: Russia’s Ambassador to Turkey assassinated by Radical Islamic terrorist seeking “revenge” for Russia’s actions in Aleppo.

The Russian Ambassador to Turkey was just assassinated in Ankara, the capital of Turkey.

The assailant was a Radical Muslim who shouted “Allah Akbar!” and said he was doing this as “revenge” for Russia’s military actions in Aleppo.

He reportedly fired 15 to 20 shots — killing the Ambassador and wounding at least three others — before being shot and killed by policy. The attack occurred at an art exhibit.

Turkish President Recip Erdogan quickly called Russian President Vladimir Putin after being briefed on the situation.
