1 Months Wages to Buy 1 Chicken

Do we all understand that we are at the mercy of our government and central bank?

If you worked your entire lifetime to amass $1,000,000 in savings it could all be wiped out in a matter of months.

“That’s not possible Dennis because I could live off $1,000,000 for, like, ever!”

Well what if your inflation rate went to 1,000,000% like it is in Venezuela?  What if a chicken cost you $5,000?  How long would your money last?

Swap Your Gold for Turkish Lira

Turkey’s currency is collapsing in comparison to US Dollar and is the worst performing currency of 2018.

Turkeys president came out and told all Turks to swap their US Dollars, gold or anything else they had of value stashed under their pillows for Turkish lira. Ummm...no one is going to do that.  It just shows how desperate and ignorant this Muslim leader is.

In the past decade he has been abandoning The West and moving closer to Russia and other Islamic nations.

Earth Changes Are Accelerating

The folks on the left are convinced that the earth is suffering through record fires, volcanoes, floods, hurricanes and drought because MAN has so messed up the planet that Mother Nature is getting ready to purge us.

It's interesting that the Bible tells us that the earth is groaning.  Why?  Because of the fall that happened way back in Genesis.  Jesus also hints that these groanings will get more frequent and more severe as His return nears.

They will reach their climax during the Great Tribulation.

Major changes are happening to our planet, and the experts are groping for answers.  In recent days some have suggested that what we are witnessing is the natural progression of "man-made climate change", but that explanation has generally been received with a lot of skepticism.  

Something truly dramatic appears to be happening to the globe, and it isn't just because the amount of carbon dioxide in the air suddenly reached some sort of magical "tipping point".  But without a doubt, temperatures are getting warmer. 

In July, Death Valley experienced "the hottest month ever recorded on the planet".  Over in Europe, Saturday was being billed as Europe's "hottest day ever", and temperatures in Lisbon, Portugal were expected to top 107 degrees both Saturday and Sunday.  

On the other side of the planet, the crippling drought in Australia is devastating farms "like a cancer", and things are so hot in North Korea that the government has declared "an unprecedented natural disaster"...

This week, the North Korean government called record-high temperatures in the country "an unprecedented natural disaster" and said that country was working together to fight the problem.

An editorial published Thursday in Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the ruling party, highlighted the difficulties that the long stretch of high temperatures would cause for North Korea's agricultural sector, specifically crops such as rice and maize. 

The newspaper called for North Koreans to act as one and "display their patriotic zeal in the ongoing campaign for preventing damage by high temperature."

In California, extreme heat and bone dry conditions continue to fuel some of the worst wildfires in the history of the state...

Crews battling deadly Northern California wildfires prepare for another day of hot and dry conditions that could drive the flames into new areas and threaten more homes.

According to Cal Fire, more than 15,000 personnel are on the lines of 18 large blazes across California on Saturday. So far, the fires since June have killed 8, burned more than 559,000 acres and damaged or destroyed over 1,800 structures. Roughly 17,000 homes continue to be threatened by these fires, and about 45,000 residents are under evacuation.

Ultimately, this may turn out to be the worst year for wildfires that California has ever seen.

Of course there have been bad years for wildfires before.  But what we haven't seen before are "firenadoes" that pack 143 mph winds...

On Thursday, NWS researcher combed through the wreckage left behind and determined a fire whirl -- commonly known as a fire tornado -- roared through the area between 7:30 p.m and 8 p.m. on July 26th.

It was packing 143 mph winds, turning heavy-duty high tension power line towers into twisted pieces of metal, uprooting trees and ripping the bark off other trees.

Fear not because these things all MUST happen.  Bible readers know how the story ends!  And we win!

Encourage each other with these words.

Warren Buffet is Stockpiling Cash

Why do you suppose the Oracle of Omaha is now stockpiling cash?  What does he see coming?

The latest results from Berkshire Hathaway Inc. show that the Oracle of Omaha has plenty of cash sloshing around.

And that could be a warning sign for a bull market that’s pushing ever higher, as well as clear evidence that Berkshire Chairman Warren Buffett is having a tough time putting the conglomerate’s money to work, according to Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, which provides online investment platforms and stockbrokerage services.

“Yet another increase in the total cash pile at his Berkshire Hathaway, to $129.6 billion, despite $12 billion in net new investments in traded securities in Q2, suggests that master investor Warren Buffett is still having difficulty in finding value in U.S. — and perhaps global — stocks,” Mould said in a note to clients on Monday.

“M&A tends to peak when animal spirits are running high and often when executives feel their own shares are expensive enough to make them a valuable acquisition currency (not that this is necessarily a good thing for the sellers and the recipients of those shares, namely investors),” he said.

He noted that Berkshire Hathaway’s cash pile grew in 1998-99, just ahead of the bursting of a tech-stock bubble, then again in 2005 to 2007, as markets again became frothy.

But then the Berkshire sage and company used the period from 2000 to 2003, and then 2007 and 2009, to buy assets at lower valuations as markets were melting down.


Berkshire’s growing mound of money comes as the stock market is just three weeks away from making history as the longest bull market on record.

Liberals Can be SOOO Wrong

Saw this on Twitter today.

Financial Guru Sounds Alarm on Global Warming

I get quite a few financial emails everyday because I'm in the financial services industry.

Jeremy Grantham is a very well known name in the industry so it perked my eyes when I saw his name on an email today talking about global warming.

Famed asset manager Jeremy Grantham called upon the world to wake up to the threat of global warming, pollution and the depletion of the world's natural resources in a new white paper that concluded human civilization is in a race for its survival—and is losing.

"Thirty years ago, the dire predictions of leading climate scientists were laughed at," wrote the founder of Boston-based asset manager GMO. "Now we watch these predictions coming true and ignore the data or pretend to. So, as the world starts to burn up, we twiddle our thumbs and talk about 'just another heat wave!' God help us."

The white paper, entitled "The Race of Our Lives Revisited," was released Wednesday and represents an expansion of a warning Grantham originally put forth in one of his weekly investor letters in April 2013 and, more recently, at Morningstar's annual investment conference in June.

In his latest warning, Grantham goes into more detail on the global threats, using 35 pages of data and charts to lay out why human society should be paying more attention to global warming, population growth and environmental destruction, and how these problems may soon contribute to a worldwide food shortage.

The root of the problem, as Grantham sees it, is that people have never been good at dealing with "long-term, slow-burning problems" and are instead more concerned about how to "stay alive and well-fed today."

"Beyond that we have a history of responding well only to more immediate and tangible threats like war," he wrote, adding that, in a bad turn of luck, today's political environment is trending in a way that only adds to the problem.

"We face a form of capitalism that has hardened its focus to short-term profit maximization with little or no apparent interest in social good," Grantham wrote. Making matters worse, he added, is that corporate influence over government "has grown so strong that only the biggest, most powerful corporations and the very richest individuals have any real say in government.”

"The timing could not be worse," he continued. "It is likely we in the U.S. will lose—indeed, we are losing already—the stable and reasonable society that we have enjoyed since the Great Depression."

Grantham argued that the environmental threats are accelerating and reaching a critical point, despite the fact that green technologies are booming and accounting for an increasingly larger share of the world's power consumption. But even as solar, wind and other green technologies surge, he wrote, it is expected that 50 percent of energy consumption will still be driven by fossil fuel by 2050.

Meanwhile, he argued, global warming is accelerating, as is the damage it is causing to the environment and human society. For example, he wrote, since 1950 the number of floods is up by 15 times; there have been 10 times as many deaths from droughts; wildfires are up sevenfold; and extreme temperature events are 20 times what they were.

Here;  https://www.fa-mag.com/news/grantham--we-re-losing-the--race-for-our-lives-40220.html?section=43&utm_source=FA+Subscribers&utm_campaign=6b27378539-FAN_FA_News_Ed_Slott_Company_080918&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6bebc79291-6b27378539-236452497

Isn't it funny that he said "God help us!"

Also I do think he nailed it when he said that humans aren't very good at solving problems that are 30 years away because we are more concerned about staying alive and eating for today.

Jesus said that we shouldn't worry about tomorrow because today has enough worries of its own.

So would Jesus be wringing his hands about rising sea levels, plastic water bottles, tanning lotion killing coral reefs, California wild fires and rising temps?

Nope.  Jesus doesn't wring his hands about anything, because he created all that we see and nothing will disappear until He says so.

Can you see how "Mother Earth" and "Weak God" believers will end up hating and coming after Bible believers?

They will first come to HATE anyone who refuses to worship Mother Earth/Mother Nature.  When we say things like, "We are more concerned with your eternal soul than we are about sea levels" and "The earth is simply GROANING for what it will become"....it will drive them into a fit of rage.

"How can you quote scripture while the world is literally burning up!!?", they will ask.

And when we answer with more scripture they will be willing to lay hands on us...

2 Peter 3
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

Can you see how PLEASED the world will be when Jesus comes and takes his Bride away!  The left-behind crowd will end up cheering that are gone!!

Facebook and YouTube Shut Down Alex Jones

This is an interesting conversation.

It seems that Facebook and YouTube don't like what Alex Jones and Info Wars has to say and he violates their policies....so they shut him down.

I think it's sad that Mr Jones pushed the Sandy Hook conspiracy and told his readers that the dead kids were just faked.  In my opinion it would be impossible for anyone to pull that off without someone coming forward and saying, "Hey!  This was all just a big farce to try and push gun control!  My kid isn't really dead and we just faked his funeral because some guys in black suits convinced me it was a good idea." 

I have heard that Mr Jones followers bought into this lie and some of them made life unbearable for some parents that lost children in that tragedy.

Surely we are living in an age of deception.  How can any American citizen REALLY know what's going on?

Facebook and YouTube shut down accounts Monday run by radio host Alex Jones, saying his charged rhetoric violated their policies and were detracting from their efforts to spawn a civil conversation.

Apple also said it nixed Mr. Jones‘ podcast from its iTunes subscription lists, and Spotify erased the host’s program from its feed, as social media companies began to take a more active role in policing their content.

The decision ignited a debate in technology circles, with even some of Mr. Jones‘ critics wondering whether social media companies are capable of, or should be, policing content to this extent.

Mr. Jones denounced the moves as political censorship, but the companies said they no longer felt comfortable with helping connect him to their users.

Facebook said it first took down four videos last week. After complaints continued, Facebook “unpublished” four pages in their entirety on Monday: the Alex Jones Channel Page, the Alex Jones Page, the Infowars Page, and Infowars Nightly News Page.

Here;  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/aug/6/alex-jonesinfowars-shutdown-ignites-debate-over-so/

But think about this for a second....Jesus said that HE is the ONLY way to get to heaven.  Everyone who doesn't believe in the work He did on the cross will stay condemned.  That means that millions of Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, and all those others who refuse Christ will stay on the wide road that is currently leading them to hell....which is terrifying.

What if those same companies start banning anyone who proclaims Christ's "intolerant and hateful" message?

What if BLOGSPOT decides they don't like what I am writing and terminates this blog tomorrow because they believe our message is intolerant and hateful?

Can a nation truly have FREE SPEECH social media outlets, run by liberals, start shutting down anything they disagree with?

I guess those private companies are free to make those decisions and policies.  And we are free to quit using their platforms.  But watch out if our government starts policing and prosecuting anyone who says something THEY deem to be "intolerant and hateful".

Lastly, it seems concerning that Facebook, YouTube and Apple all shut down Alex Jones on the same day.  Doesn't that make it seem like these giant companies who dominate social media are all starting to collude with one another on decisions?


Will Trump Pave the Way for 3rd Temple?

I have already blogged about the 3rd Temple coins that have been minted with pictures of Donald Trump and Cyrus of Persia on the 'heads' side.  We already know that Israel named a train station after Trump.  One of my friends just returned from Israel and said that Trump supporters from America were welcomed with open arms.

So what does all this mean?  Is Trump going to save America?

I doubt it.

But could Trump be the dude handpicked by God to continue to pave the way for the 3rd Temple prophesies to be fulfilled.

I think it's possible.

In this same light, we thought this headline was interesting.

END OF TIMES: Ancient Judaic Sources Indicate Trump Will Pave Way for Third Jewish Temple

Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi in charge King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, revealed to Breaking Israel News a 600-year-old Jewish source stating that the Third Temple will be prepared by descendants of Edom as a “reparation” for destroying the Second Temple. Additional hints from esoteric sources indicate that US President Donald Trump has already begun this process.

“It sounds illogical that the Third Jewish Temple will be built by non-Jews,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News. “But Rabbinic sources state explicitly that this is what they must do to fix the historic wrongs that were committed.”

As the son of the “Mishkoltz Rebbe,” a revered Hasidic leader with thousands of followers, Rabbi Berger is well-versed in Jewish literature and based his conclusions on several classical sources.The rabbi began his explanation by using the 11th chapter of Leviticus that delineates the laws pertaining to animals that are fit for Jewish consumption. For an animal to be designated as Kosher, it must have split hooves and chew its cud. Despite the explicitly stated rule, four animals are specifically mentioned as being forbidden in a manner that seems textually redundant. The final animal specified as being forbidden to Jews is a chazir (pig).

And the swine—although it has true hoofs, with the hoofs cleft through, it does not chew the cud: it is unclean for you. Leviticus 11:7

Citing Midrash Rabba, a collection of homiletic teachings believed to have been compiled in the fifth century in Israel, Rabbi Berger explains this apparent redundancy by stressing that the four animals are compared to the four major kingdoms that mistreated Israel. Of these impure species, a chazir is compared to the nation of Edom, which literally translates as ‘red,’ referring to the redness of Jacob’s brother, Esau. In Rabbinic literature, Edom refers to Rome, which largely comprised of Esau’s descendants. Edom has also come to mean Christianity which first flourished in Rome.

“The comparison is not flattering, but the implications are enormous,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News. “Many times in the Bible we find that the greatest spiritual light comes from the most hidden of sources.”

“Midrash Rabba asked, ‘why is edom compared to a ‘chazir’? The answer Midrash Rabba gives is based on the root of the word chazir, which literally means ‘to return,’” Rabbi Berger continued. “Midrash Rabba stated, ‘in the future Edom will return the glory to its former status.’”

Rabbi Berger also quoted Rabbi Bahya ben Asher ibn Halawa, a 13th century Spanish Biblical commentator also known as “Rabbeinu Behaye.” The medieval scholar wrote that “the first and second Temples were built by the descendants of King David, but in the future, the Third Temple will be built by descendants of Edom.”

Should Christians Support the Re-Building of the 3rd Temple

As many of you know, I bought a 3rd Temple coin that has Donald Trump minted into the heads side and a picture of the 3rd Temple minted into the tails side.  I paid $49 for it and I know that some of that money is supposed to go to the preparation of the 3rd Temple.

But should we be doing this?  Don't we know that Antichrist is going to sit in this Temple and from there go out and attempt to murder all the the Jews?  By helping build this Temple aren't we really aiding the Antichrist?

I ran across this article today that asks, and attempts to answer, those very questions.

In October 2007, a group of 34 West Papuans showed up at the Temple Institute in Jerusalemto make a donation. As Temple Institute CEO Rabbi Yisrael Ariel saw the nature of the donation he became very emotional - it was one kilogram of solid gold, plus a large sum of money! 

Some of the members of the delegation even began giving their own jewellery - one couple went so far as to give their wedding rings! West Papua is rich in gold, and the group explained that their donation was motivated by the words of the prophet Zechariah: "Even those from afar shall come and build the Temple of the Lord." (Zec 6:15) 

Is such a donation led by God, or is it misplaced zeal aiding an anti-Christ agenda? 

To find the answer, let's examine some common objections to Christians aiding the Temple movement. 

Isn't the Church the Temple of God?

The Church has correctly taught that we are temples of the Holy Spirit as individuals and as a church. And as we no longer need sacrifices, many have concluded that a physical Temple in Jerusalem has no role in the 'Church Age'. 

If this was the case, then one would expect that the birth of the Church in the book of Acts would have led to an immediate and complete withdrawal of the Christians from the Temple. After all, what further use did they have for the site?

Surprisingly, the first thing the disciples did after the ascension of Jesus was toreturn to the Temple to praise and bless God (Luke 24:52-53). Even after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the disciplescontinued to meet in the Temple during the hour of prayer. 

They were even divinely instructed to preach the gospel and heal the sick there(Act 3-4). Years later we read of Paul the Apostle encountering God in a trance during a time of prayer at the Temple (Acts 22:17).

It can therefore be seen that the Temple was still important to the disciples even after the birth of the Church.It was a place where they met with God and worshiped Him. If the early disciples met God there at the Temple, why couldn't we also meet with Him there? And if so, could we also support the efforts to rebuild the Temple?

But the Rabbis Don't Believe in Jesus

Bible believing Christians can find many areas of common ground with leaders of the Temple Movement. But the Temple Movement does not recognise Jesus as the Messiah and segments of the Movement are interested in inter-faith co-operation with Islam.  

Can Christians have anything to do with a Temple built and led by Rabbis with such views? To answer the question, let's turn again to the example of the early Church. We have to remember that the Temple leadership at that time were the very ones who conspired against Jesus and had Him killed.

I guess for now I can see both sides of this argument. 

I'm not planning on sending any more money to Israel to build the Temple BUT I have shown my Donald Trump coin to many people and have sparked many good conversations...so for that reason it has been worth way more than the $49 I paid for it.

Rich People Hatching Plans to Survive Apocalypse

Why are the rich folks thinking that some "Event" is on the horizon? 

They think that catastrophe could soon come because of wild weather, civil war, race war, financial meltdown, nuclear explosions, or some hacker shutting down the electric grid.

Last year, I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech to what I assumed would be a hundred or so investment bankers. It was by far the largest fee I had ever been offered for a talk – about half my annual professor’s salary – all to deliver some insight on the subject of “the future of technology”.

I’ve never liked talking about the future. The Q&A sessions always end up more like parlor games, where I’m asked to opine on the latest technology buzzwords as if they were ticker symbols for potential investments: blockchain, 3D printing, Crispr. The audiences are rarely interested in learning about these technologies or their potential impacts beyond the binary choice of whether or not to invest in them. But money talks, so I took the gig.

After I arrived, I was ushered into what I thought was the green room. But instead of being wired with a microphone or taken to a stage, I just sat there at a plain round table as my audience was brought to me: five super-wealthy guys – yes, all men – from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology. They had come with questions of their own.

They started out innocuously enough. Ethereum or bitcoin? Is quantum computing a real thing? Slowly but surely, however, they edged into their real topics of concern.

Which region will be less affected by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? Is Google really building Ray Kurzweil a home for his brain, and will his consciousness live through the transition, or will it die and be reborn as a whole new one? Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the Event?”

The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr Robot hack that takes everything down.

Here;  https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/23/tech-industry-wealth-futurism-transhumanism-singularity

"The Event."  That's interesting.  I wonder if anyone in this super-elite group has ever wondered if THE EVENT could possibly be the rapture of the church?

Probably not.  Scoffers mentioned in 2 Peter are now everywhere.  Even in the church!!

Of course that's what WE think THE EVENT will be.

When millions of people vanish from earth, our disappearance will leave a real big mess for those left behind.  The Bible tells me so.

1 Thess. 5
While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

The rich folks might be holed up in their bunkers (maybe  Apostle John saw them as caves?) but it won't save them from the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.

Revelation 6
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
