Pre-Tribulation Rapture - Are you ready?

     Today I heard two Pastors on the radio discussing the "Rapture" of the church and arguing whether it would be a "Pre-Tribulation Rapture" or otherwise.  Both pastors agreed that the Bible teaches a future rapture of the church, however, the timing was the issue.  Most people don't feel comfortable discussing this subject, but it happens to be one of my favorite subjects, so I determined to sit down and show that the Bible teaches a "Pre-Tribulation Rapture" event  - PERIOD.

     First lets get the mainstream argument out of the way.  There is no mention of the word "rapture" in the Holy Bible anywhere, second, this concept was not introduced by John Darby, and lastly, these facts make absolutely no difference to the outcome of my argument.
      The Greek word used for " caught up"  in the following scripture is the word Harpazo which means to "pluck" or "snatch away" or "to carry off by force".  All of the scriptures I will refer to will be from the King James Version (KJV).

     "For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air:  and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
                                                                                             I Thessalonians 4:15-18

     A few things about this citing - in 1611 AD English, the language used in the Authorized KJV Bible, the word "prevent" was used to convey "precede" or "go in front of" or "go before", so the last part of the first phrase could read shall not go before them which are asleep. 
     The phrase that says "caught up" means just what it says, but through the years and many latin iterations became known as "raptured", however, the best rendering would be the phrase "taken by force".
      The word "clouds" in the original Greek text did not have the definite article "the" preceding it (it should have been translated caught up together with them in clouds) indicating masses with the appearance of clouds. 
     The Greek also used two words for "air", each describing different altitudes;  this verse uses aer which refers to altitudes under 6400 ft. and the other word is aither, meaning higher than 6400 ft.  The lower atmosphere, of aer is also the abode of the "powers and principalities" or demons which will try to stop this event from happening, hence Jesus will have to "pluck us out" or "take us by force".

     Knowing these details, this verse is summarized by stating that "The Word of the Lord says that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not go before them which are dead.  For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel ( Michael) and with the Trump of God.  And the glorified bodies of the dead in Christ shall rise first to be united with their spirit and soul from Heaven:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be carried off by force together with them in great masses of glorified saints having the appearance of clouds to meet the Lord in the lower atmosphere (under 6400ft.):  and so shall we be with the Lord forever."

     The Apostle Paul explained this to the Corinthians in I Cor 15:51-53:  "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (denoting the end of the Church Age):  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible (glorified / no sin nature), and we (those alive at the time) shall be changed."

      The Lord himself is recorded as giving us a comforting promise in John 14:1-3:  "Let not your heart be troubled:  you believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions:  if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also."
     Jesus Christ is telling us that he will be going to Heaven to prepare a place for us and that when the time is at hand, he will return to recieve us to him so that we can go to Heaven to be with him.  Notice he says nothing in this verse about setting up a Kingdom on Earth, that comes later, after his second coming just before the battle of Armageddon at the end of the tribulation period.

     The Old Testament gives examples or "types" of the rapture as well:

     The Old Testament Patriarch, Enoch was the seventh from Adam, was converted at 65 years of age and lived for God for the rest of his 365 year lifespan, then according to Genesis 5:24 : "And Enoch walked with God:  and he was not; for God took him"  The Hebrew word for "took" in this passage is Laqach, which means "carry away". 
     A passage in Hebrews 11:5 refers to this event as well:  "By Faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him:  for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."  The word "translated" means transported or removed and Enoch was not the only person who was removed in this manner, there was one more.
     A passage in II Kings 2:11 describes the translation of Elijah:  "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."  Nine hundred years later, in Malachi 4:5 we find the following prophecy:  "Behold, I will send you Elijah the Prophet before the great and dreadful day of the Lord."
     These two Godly men were removed without death for a reason.  Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the Judgement", these two men will return alive to Earth during the great Tribulation to prophesy in Jerusalem for 1260 days, after which, they will be murdered by the Antichrist (Rev 11:3-12).

     What is the reason for the "Rapture" of the church?  When the world conditions are right for the final stages of the human quest for salvation through self-righteousness (which the Bible and other sources indicate is a period of 6000 years which will be covered in a different post), the true church of Christ is removed in order to allow for the advancement of evil and the takeover of the world by the Antichrist.
     In II Thessalonians 2:6-8 we read:  "And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.  For the mystery of iniquity does already work:  only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way.  And then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming."
     The true church on Earth is acting as a restrainer of the plan of the Antichrist.  This scripture says that when the church is removed, the Antichrist will be revealed for who he is.  The tribulation period is often described as the "70th week of Daniel" (lasting 7 years), or "the time of Jacob's trouble", which means it is the wrath of God poured out on un-repentant Israel.  The Great Tribulation does not apply to the true church of Christ, only Israel.
     The fact that the church is not a part of this wrath is stated in I Thessalonians 5:9-11, "For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do." 

     In the Old Testament there are several examples of God warning his people about a coming wrath, providing his people an escape from that wrath, and the un-repentant remainder of the population having to stay and suffer the wrath.  Noah was warned, escaped in the ark, and the rest of the world suffered.  Lot was warned, escaped Sodom and Gomorrah, and the rest faced judgement.  God warns his people, provides a way to safety, and destroys the enemy.

     The Book of Revelation is actually known as the "Revelation of Jesus Christ", which was given to John in a vision while in the spirit during his exile on the Isle of Patmos.  The book is divided into three parts that John is instructed to write (Rev 1:19) "Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter."   The first part, things seen, are covered in chapter 1.  The second part, things which are, are covered in chapters 2 & 3.  The third part, things to be hereafter, is covered in the remaining chapters 4 through 22.
     Chapters 2 & 3 cover the history of the church, divided into seven periods or ages.  The letters to the churches give a description of the characteristics of the particular church and the corresponding church period as well as warnings to all of these churches.  The only way to get the full picture is to study the history of each of these church periods in order, but that's for another post.
     To summarize, these church periods are as such:

• Ephesus - The apostolic church - AD 30 to AD 96
• Smyrna - The martyr church - AD 96 to AD 316
• Pergamos - The state church - AD 316 to AD 500
• Thyatira - The Papal church - AD 500 to present
• Sardis - The reformation church - AD 1500 to present
• Philadelphia - The missionary church - AD 1793 to present
• Laodicea - The apostate church - NOW (we don't know exactly when it started)

     The important thing to remember here is that the characteristics of these churches are all characteristics of the current Christian church today, and the same warnings that Christ gave then still apply today.  The Church of Philadelphia is told in chapter 3 verse 10 "Because you have kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them who dwell upon the earth."  The word "temptation" in this verse means "experience of evil" or "adversity", in other words, the tribulation period.  The tribulation is often referred to as the "temptation".

     The beginning of Revelation 4 starts like this:  "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven:  and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said, Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter."
     This verse is a type of the "rapture" of the church which John is a part of.  He hears the trumpet as spoken of in II Thessalonians 4:16, he is "caught up" as described in II Thessalonians 4:17, and is going to be shown what will happen once he is there, or "hereafter" after the rapture.  From this point on the church is not mentioned at all.  The remaining activities on earth are in relation to the Jews of Israel. 
     The rest of the book presents the judgement over the un-repented masses still on earth, the tribulation events, and finally the return of the church as the army of Christ at his second coming in chapter 19.
     From chapter 4 to chapter 19 (verse10) the church has been in Heaven participating in the Judgement Seat of Christ, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as the Bride of Christ.  The church cannot be on earth at the same time it is participating in these events.
      Luke in chapter 14 verse 14 says that recompense for the saint is done immediately at the resurrection of the just, which is the rapture.  The rapture of the church is a continuation of the resurrection of Christ event, of which Christ was "the firstfruits of them who slept" as stated in I Corinthians 15:20.

     The rapture is PRE-Tribulation.  Are you ready?  There are no more prophetic events that need to happen to set up the rapture of the church, it can happen at any time.  The tribulation period does not have to start immediately following the rapture, it could take several years.
     The present day church is made up of believers and non-believers as well as pastors who are preaching false doctrines.  Today's church is an apostate church with Jesus Christ on the outside knocking and asking to come in.  If your Christian profession will not stand the test of actual possession of salvation, then you will remain on the earth to suffer through the tribulation period, you could still be saved in the future, but it will be very difficult to finish the race.
     If you are not looking for the soon return of the Lord, then you are not ready.  If you have never seen yourself as a lost sinner who needs Jesus Christ as a saviour, and have never put heart-faith trust in him and his blood atonement on the cross for your salvation, then you are not ready for his coming.

The good news is, THE DAY OF GRACE IS TODAY. 

Jesus will receive you if you come to him in faith believing.  Again - are you ready?

God Bless,

Bryan




 






    




    


    

Communism In America Pt. 4 - Occupying Wall Street

     I have been resisting the temptation to blog about the "Occupy this" & "Occupy that" demonstrations happening all over the nation recently.  I can't take it anymore, I have to take the opportunity to help educate anyone who does not get what's going on here.
     These unemployed humanitarian idealists that are screaming that they want more government, more social programs, an end to capitalism, greed, profits, avarice, and hate, while they stand around smoking dope, drinking latte's, and twittering on their capitalist supplied high tech communication products are exactly what Vladimir Lenin termed as "Useful Idiots"

     Anyone with a sparse amount of intelligence can see that this entire fiasco has been "ginned up" by a cadre of Alinskyite Obama supporters, ACORN splinter groups, the Communist Party, workers unions, and every other "useful idiot" group that believes that Socialism (Communism /Marxism) and world government is the answer to all of their problems and the final Utopian society that they all dream of. 
     They obviously don't know what they are talking about.  The majority of them have been schooled in a liberal educational system that is marked by revised history, indoctrination into political correctness, and a belief that Uncle Sam wants to take care of them for the rest of their lives.  They are too deceived to go take a look at the history of Socialist systems around the world before they go begging for one.  Let me clue them in.

     The social media phenomenon (stoked by CIA infested "Google Corp.") and the main stream press circus (stoked by wealthy Elitist Wall Street bankers) have convinced an ill-informed sector of our society that their perceived lack of social and economic equality has been caused by..... CAPITALISM.  This is one of the oldest lines of bull crap ever used on citizens of a free nation when trying to get them to accept a future of slavery.
     Revolutions for Communism are commonly assumed to arise from dissatisfied impoverished masses, but Communism has never been about the "working class".  History shows that it is always secretly insinuated into a revolution as a dialectic thesis by the intellectual elite and the rich and powerful ruling class.  They present the crisis of wage inequality and pose the greedy capitalist system as the reason, meanwhile offering a "better system" that promises universal brotherhood, peace, prosperity, and a Utopian life granted by the government. The ignorant masses come to a consensus that Capitalism should be scrapped and Socialism is what is needed for survival.  
     The average person has been taught that Karl Marx was correct in his assertion that there are basically two classes of people;  the propertied class (Bourgeoisie) and the unpropertied wage earner (Proletariat or Progressive).  His theories of Communism and Dialectic Materialism suggest that these two groups are always in conflict for social and economic reasons and that this conflict eventually forces change which in turn will ultimately benefit the Proletariat once Communism is accepted and Capitalism destroyed.  Marx was a fool.  What "capitalist" would turn down an opportunity to run a national monopoly granted to him by an all powerful Communist state - This is exactly what is going to happen.

     Before I get too far, I should introduce you to Karl Marx.  More commonly known as "the father of Communism", Marx was a 19th century university trained intellectual (Kind of like Obama) who earned a doctorate in Philosophy and was evicted from several schools because of his "radical ideas".  He was married and had 6 children, 3 of which starved to death as infants, 2 committed suicide, and the last one - well who knows.
     Marx did not work for a living.  He got money from relatives, and when that dried up, he hitched his wagon to Friedrich Engels, a fellow traveler, who had a rich father.  Kind of ironic - a philosophical intellectual who doesn't work, explaining the "struggles" of the working man while demonizing the cruel "capitalist" that he depends on for a source of income.  What a tool!  He would fit right in at occupied Wall Street.  With this short biography of Marx finished, lets proceed.

     Karl Marx also considered himself sort of a "scientist" of Philosophy and spoke of some "scientific laws" of Communism.  They are as follows:

"There is no God nor eternal mortality"
"There are no moral absolutes"  (no "right" or "wrong" - everything is relative)
"Man is simply matter in motion - no soul, no spirit or free will, and he is not responsible for his own acts"

     Basically what Marx was stating here is this - Man is just an evolutionary animal with no significant value or purpose and that as such, the ultimate elimination of man is insignificant as well.  Man is just a product of his economically determined environment, and the "evil" that man does is just a  reflection of his environment.   The evil influence is "Capitalism", and it must be destroyed .
     He believed that once Capitalism was destroyed and the state collective becomes the sole provider of all basic human needs, that greed, profit, and hate would disappear.  Finally, everyone would work according to his ability, and receive according to their needs.

     The history of Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela, just to name a few examples, shows exactly the opposite.  Socialism, Communism, Marxism (all the same) offers mass starvation, poverty, state sponsored domestic terrorism, race wars, class wars, religious wars, and eventually genocide.  Hundreds of Millions of people have perished under Communist regimes throughout history, and these FOOLS have actually been convinced to go begging for it!!

     Gus Hall, the General Secretary of the Communist Party USA during the sixties, made this statement at a funeral in February, 1961:

     "I dream of the hour when the last congressman is strangled to death on the guts of the last preacher and since the Christians like to sing about the blood, why not give them a little of it."

     Our present administration and its closest supporters are godless Communist Alinskyites who would convince you that the destruction of capitalism, its replacement by Socialism, and the institution of a world government system will solve all of the world's problems.  They know for a fact that it will result in a dictatorial world system with them sitting at the top determining who will live and who will die.        

     What you are seeing come to fruition in front of your very eyes is a plan hatched before the formation of the United States of America.  I know this sounds impossible, but I believe I can prove it.  Stay tuned for future posts Comrade.

P.S.  The only true remedy for greed, hate, and moral deficiency, is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and putting your complete faith in His atoning work on the cross.  There is not much time left, so do it soon!

Next time,

Bryan





    


    

    

Tatoo's - Are They Scriptural?

     This post is in response to a question from someone close.  The subject of tattoos was brought up and the final question was in regards to tattoo content.  Is it OK for a Christian to have a tattoo of something that shows their faith in Christ?  The answer is directed to any Christian who is seriously considering a tattoo.

     Before answering this question, we should look at some associated scripture in order to set the context and relevance of the conclusions drawn.

     "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you:  I am the Lord"     Leviticus 19:28

     "And be not conformed to this world:  but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of God."     Romans 12:2

     "What?  do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?  For you are bought with a price:  therefore Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."      I Corinthians 6:19-20

     In every biblical commentary worth reading it is stated that Leviticus 19:28 is part of a general condemnation of Pagan practices of all sorts.  The specific example of this verse is a description of self mutilation and Tattooing.  There are many cultures in this world, past and present, that use(d) tattoos for many different reasons, but they all have similar roots and common themes, and the number one theme is death.
     Flesh mutilation, blood letting, piercing, and tattooing are all seen as religious rites by these same cultures that all originate from Paganism, Demonism, Baal worship, Shamanism, Mysticism, Heathenism, and finally Cannibalism.  These "rites" are considered by these cultures to be occultic and demonic sources of supernatural power and control.  When one partakes in the ritual he/she accepts the supernatural spirits associated with this visible worldly culture, as well as the possibility of the future bondage that comes with it.

     The Lord sees any Christian's connection to Pagan activity as a mixing of sacred with the sacrilegious and as such considers it sinful.  In the Leviticus verse he magnifies the importance by his words "Ye shall not...", and sternly reminds the reader that he is your Lord.  He feels the same way about prostituting our daughters and the ordination of homosexual ministers. 
     Secondly, in I Corinthians 6, we are reminded that our bodies are not our own, we were bought with a price and are therefore owned by the Lord.  The body you inhabit is not yours to mutilate, tattoo, or destroy in any way.  Romans 12 exhorts us to not be conformed to this world, and unfortunately some Christians would like to be tattooed in order to "blend in" with the world around them. 
    
     Some think that they can use a tattoo to advertise their faith in Christ and that in that case God will make an exception when it comes to judgement.  The Eastern Hindu culture espouses this "devotional" aspect of the tattoo experience; Early 19th Century Ramnaamis (India) tattooed the name of their God "Ram" in Sanskrit all over their bodies to protect themselves from upper caste Brahmins.  In all religions outside of Christianity, God's are unknowable spirits and idols that need to be revered in mystical ways, like tattoo's.
     Your God is not unknowable.  You know him and he knows everything about you.  He is approachable and you have an intimate personal relationship with him, there is no need for superficial, mystical reverence in order to glorify God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

     Many Pagan cultures use tattoos as a necessary "key" to entering the next world, and believe that without them they cannot pass on to what they view as "heaven".  A Christian has no need of a "key" to heaven in the form of a tattoo, we know that Jesus Christ is the key.

     Other cultures that include shamanism and voodoo regard tattoos as "amulets" to be used as protection from evil spirits.  As Christians, we know the air is filled with demonic spirits, and powers / principalities that we cannot see and as long as we are in faith, they cannot possess us.  The Lord has built a hedge around us because we are his children and he loves us, we don't need a tattoo to protect us. 
     There is a particular spirit behind the tattoo culture.  Go to a tattoo shop and look at the designs, listen to the conversations, pay attention to the themes on the wall.  Entering into that culture will expose you to spirits that are not acceptable to God and continued disobedience will result in that "hedge" being pulled down.  A big risk for something that "looks cool".  I won't get into detail about the possible health issues of  Hep-"C", AIDS, and many skin disorders, there is plenty information available on the Internet.

     God created man in His own image.  It is the goal of Satan to destroy you, body and soul, because he hates your likeness of God.  He uses many devices to entice, entrap and exploit the unaware Christian, and this is just one of those many devices targeting the desire to be accepted by others while trying to keep a foot in the kingdom of God at the same time.  This is a dangerous game, and Satan is out to win.

     God will forgive someone who repents of having the most heinous, evil tattoo you can imagine, just like he will forgive any sin a Christian commits and repents of.  However, eventually unrepentant sin hardens the heart to the ways of the Spirit of God, and can finally draw you away from God. Add this dimension to the supernatural activities surrounding this culture and you are playing with fire.

     As stated earlier, you were bought for a price, a price that Jesus Christ paid by willingly giving up his life on the cross.  Your body, soul, and spirit belongs to him: To turn it into an idol is anything but scriptural.

God Bless,

Bryan

Blessing or Curse - Are Elected Officials Choosing Wisely?

     This September the United Nations General Assembly is going to try to force a resolution to unilaterally establish a Palestinian State in the Nation of Israel.  The Palestinians are already planning the destruction of the "wailing wall" in order to establish new Palestinian neighborhoods according to their media.  Will this happen?  Absolutely not!
     The corrupt United Nations gave up any credibility it had long ago when it started permitting its "refugee camps" to be used for logistical centers for terrorist attacks against Israel and for manufacturing bombs and missiles that are launched at her every day.  I would remind you that these "refugees" have had a better life than any Arab currently living in mainstream Islamic nations, and that they are just "pawns" being used in a larger game to establish Islamic control over the Middle East. 
     The truth is, Israel has nuclear weapons at their disposal and won't be afraid to use them if cornered, so the continuous threats from Iran, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, et al, really do not matter in the long run, and the Palestinian authority is an impotent, toothless, bunch of Arab lackies who only know how to lie, cheat and murder.  The worse thing about this situation is that a good size ignorant contingent in our own government has elected to take the Palestinian side in this ongoing debacle. 
     The United States has funded the Palestinian Authority and Hamas to the tune of Billions of tax dollars in an "effort to bring peace" by allowing them to "manage" their own social affairs in the fields of education, culture, health, welfare, taxation, tourism, etc...  The result - most of the money ends up cultivating bombs, missiles, suicide bombers, and a hatred for Jews and Americans.  The Palestinians do not want peace, they want Israel destroyed, its in their charter. 
     The point here is this - Peace in this region is only possible if Israel is secure as a state, and the entire world (including the United States) seems to be undermining that security in one way or another!  The only other option is the destruction of Israel which is what Muslims want and the rest of the world is indifferent about.  However, the Lord had some things to say about this:

     "And I will bless them who bless you, and curse him who curses you:  and in you shall all families of the Earth be blessed."        Genesis 12:3

     "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land."        Joel 3:2  (note the word plead actually means "judge" here)

     "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people:  all who burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the Earth be gathered together against it."        Zechariah 12:3

     The scriptures plainly state that the land of Israel belongs to God, that the people of Israel belong to God, that he will bless or curse others in relation to how they treat Israel, that Israel will be scattered among the nations, their land will be parted, and that they will become the worlds biggest problem.  Looks to me like God nailed it again.  It is evident that "parting" out his land is worthy of a curse or some kind of punishment, so lets take a look at the record of the leadership of America and the associated consequences so far.

October 1991 - Madrid Conference, George Bush introduces an initiative for Middle East Peace Plan that involves "land for peace".  Same day - the "perfect storm" appears, sending record setting high waves into New England, damaging the Bush compound at Kennebunkport, Maine.

August 1992 - The Land for Peace Talks move to Washington D.C., Hurricane Andrew hits Florida

April to September 1993 - Israel & PLO negotiate in D.C., sign compromise.  During this period the U.S. experienced the most widespread and devastating flooding in our history.

January 1994 - Clinton meets with Assad to negotiate transfer of Golan Heights. Within 24 hours, Southern California experiences a 6.9 magnitude earthquake.  They made a movie about it.

March to April 1997 - Arafat and Clinton negotiate more land for peace and rebuke Israel's stance.  Tornadoes and flooding make a mess of the South from Texas to Tennessee, and in the Dakotas.

September 1998 - Madeleine Albright finalizes an agreement for Israel to give up more land.  Hurricane Georges pounds the Gulf Coast.  After Arafat announces the deal at the U.N. and departs the U.S, the hurricane stops.

October 1998 - Arafat and Netanyahu meet for the Wye River agreement in Maryland, to discuss giving up more land.  Texas is deluged with storms - 1/4 of Texas is flooded and declared a major disaster area.

May 1999 - In Washington D.C., Clinton and Arafat are about to declare a Palestinian state on Israeli land and that afternoon, the most powerful tornado system on record slams Oklahoma and Kansas with record 316 MPH winds.

October 1999 - Jewish residents are evicted from 15 towns under American terms.  Next day a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hits the Southwest United States.

September 11, 2001 - U.N. Ambassador for America was to present the final proposed agreement for establishment of a Palestinian state in Israel.  World trade center towers hit by planes, agreement went nowhere.

November 2002 - Bush hosts Ramadan dinner to honor Islam, officials flown to Israel to pressure leadership for more land.  88 out-of-season tornadoes ravage seven states.

August 2005 - American-Israeli Disengagement Plan started.  9000 Israeli's are dislocated and unemployed.  Hurricane Katrina develops at the same time and finally hits New Orleans killing 2000 and leaving the area devastated.

February 2007 - The U.N., E.U., U.S., and Russia meet in Washington D.C. to work on a deal to give Palestinians more Israeli land.  A super tornado hits central Florida in the middle of the same night causing death and the destruction of some 1500 homes.

April 2010 - Obama was pressuring Israel to stop new construction in Jerusalem and sent an envoy to pressure them to agree to a Palestinian state in Israel.  Deep Horizon oil rig explodes in the Gulf causing an ecological catastrophe.

     Now I am not a Harvard trained professor or lawyer, but I can spot a cause and effect relationship when I see it.  If the Obama administration continues to adhere to its anti-Israeli policy and continues to force a "land for peace", two-state-solution, to this problem, our nation is in for a long bumpy ride.
    
     THIS NATION MUST SUPPORT ISRAEL OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.  DO WE REALLY WANT TO BE ON GOD'S CURSE LIST?

     Once, when I was a teenager, I was pulling some "bonehead" move and my Dad looked at me and said "go get the tractor".   I glared at him with a puzzled look and he replied "you know - the tractor your gonna need to pull your head out of your ass". 

Mr. Obama, GO GET THE TRACTOR


Till next time,

Communism For America - Part 3

     In Part 2, I showed you how our Elitist change agents have used the educational system to slowly indoctrinate everyone to Socialist values.  This post will introduce you to the Communist Manifesto and show you how the "planks" of Communism have already been adopted by our government.

     Karl Marx and Frederick Engels are accorded the 1848 authorship of the Communist Manifesto.  There are some who would argue this point because all indications are that neither Marx or Engels had the brains to come up with this satanic ideology.  In this document we see the Marxist view of what the "perfect society" should look like, and it lays out ten "planks" that are needed to achieve Socialist goals and to destroy the Capitalist, free market system.  The ten "planks" are as follows:

1.  Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.  This step has been accomplished through "imminent domain" usurpations, establishment of U.S. "Heritage" sites, and by improper use of the 1906 Antiquities Act.  (See Washington times, March 3, 2010, "DeMint: White House Land Grab")

2.  A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.  This step was accomplished in 1913 with the questionable ratification of the 16th Amendment.  Two months later the 17th Amendment was questionably ratified as well, allowing for the "election" of Senators instead of appointment by state legislators, enabling the "fixing" of Senatorial choices and the furtherance of "career politicians".  (I'll do another blog on the 16th Amendment later, it will blow your mind.)

3.  Abolition of all rights of inheritance.  The IRS does this by taking large sums of money from you through inheritance tax laws that are very complicated.  What gives the government the moral right to take any amount of inheritance left to you by another person?  (P.S. Obama is OK with taking at least 60% of all inheritance from you for redistribution to someone else).

4.  Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.  Are American Indians considered emigrants?  They had their property confiscated.  What about the Japanese internment camps and property seizures done during WWII?  The IRS routinely confiscates property in tax cases.  The Justice Department also routinely confiscates property from tax dissenters, drug dealers, and criminals, then sells it for what?  Remuneration to victims?  No, for the state.  Consider this - there are some arguments that suggest that we are all "emigrants" according to IRS tax codes.  Look it up.

5.  Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and exclusive monopoly.  This step was accomplished in 1913 with the establishment of the Federal Reserve Act.  This Act established the Federal reserve banking system, a central bank, found to be unconstitutional by previous supreme court decisions.  The Federal Reserve is a cabal of privately owned banks that enjoy a monopoly on the issuance of "fiat" Federal Reserve Notes that have been made "legal tender" by law, making them the only legal medium of exchange.  This currency is not backed by anything but debt.

6.  Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.  This was accomplished through the establishment of regulatory agencies such as the FAA, FCC, FRA, DOT, etc... which regulate these industries, centralizing them into the hands of the state.  Because of these regulatory agencies, you pay higher taxes, through licensing fees, cable TV taxes, cell phone taxes, mandatory insurance requirements, etc...

7.  Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, cultivation of waste lands, improvement of the soil in accordance with a common plan.  This was accomplished with the establishment of agencies like the Department of the Interior, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce and Labor, OSHA, EPA, and lately, programs such as Agenda 21, local sustainability programs like ICLEI, etc...

8.  Equal obligations of all to work and establishment of industrial armies especially agricultural.  (Remember this was written in the 1800's)  Accomplished through the establishment of labor unions, AFL, IWW, Department of Labor, CWA, Agriculture Adjustment Act, National Labor Relations Act, WPA, FLSA, Civil Rights Act, Davis-Beacon Act, and unemployment services.

9.  Combination of agricultural with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by more equitable distribution of population.  Accomplished through FHA programs, government subsidies for large agribusiness, agricultural easement programs, zoning laws, and regulation/restrictions on family farms (happening daily now).

10.  Free education for all children in public schools, abolition of children's factory labor, combination of education with industrial production.  This was accomplished through a shift in control of public schools, from local citizens to government through the establishment of the Department of Education, several education "acts", vocational & technical schools and programs, Fair Labor Standards Act, and "school to work" programs.  The idea here was to keep kids in "government" schools so they could be "raised" by the state.

     It appears that we have been living in what some might call a Communist Society for quite some time now if you consider this list.  These planks serve to regulate, restrict, and control society while at the same time destroying a capitalist economic system.  The capitalist economic system that has created the best, most productive, and most wealthy nation in the world is ours, and it is currently on the brink of destruction.  The next dialectic crisis is the current Debt Ceiling Issue we have been witnessing in the news for weeks.

     In March of 1933, the Weimar Republic of Germany was in its last throws of economic death due to a massive de-valuing of currency and a large debt problem.  A manufactured crisis called the "Reichstag Fire" was used to help consolidate power into the hands of the Chancellor, Adolph Hitler, through the passage of a piece of legislation called the "Enabling Act".  This act gave Hitler and his cabinet exclusive legislative power for four years.  The German Parliament (congress) would be requested to turn over its constitutional functions to Hitler, giving him control over the budget, approval of foreign treaties, and the initiation of constitutional amendments.  Also, laws enacted by the cabinet would be drafted by Hitler and "might deviate from the constitution" in order to "remove the distress" of the people of the Reich.

     Last week, President Obama signed into law a bi-partisan bill to raise the debt ceiling which resulted in Standard & Poor's downgrading the credit rating of the United States for the first time in history.  As bad as this seems, it's not the worst thing about the law.  The law also establishes a "Council of Twelve" or otherwise known as "Super Congress" made up of six appointed Republicans and six appointed democrats, with Obama himself being 13th member and tie-breaker. 
     The purpose of this committee or council is to make the congress impotent and to remove the influence of the grass roots movement know as the "Tea-Party".  This unconstitutional council will be used to usurp the authority of the legislative branch, in effect making Obama a dictator, the same way the "Enabling Act" did for Hitler in 1933.
      Look for a future false flag terrorist attack or some other false flag "crisis" that this sick bunch of power hungry globalists can use to drive the final nail in our coffin, cause its coming.

More on this later,

Christian or Not?

     The recent situation regarding the bombing in Oslo, Norway, has been particularly interesting.  The mainstream news media immediately pounced on the suggestion that the 32 year old Norwegian suspect named Anders Breivik was a "Christian", since he is not Muslim, and he is white.  The same man is accused of the massacre of almost 80 people at a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya Island near Oslo shortly after the bombing at the Prime Minister's office.
      Before these ruthless acts, Breivik sent out numerous copies of a 1500 plus page "Manifesto" in which the word "Christian" was used a few times prompting idiots like those at the New York Times to take the opportunity to demonize Christians.   The same mainstream rag dubbed Tim McVeigh (an atheist) and Jared Loughner (left wing liberal nut)  "Christians" as well.  The people doing this are trying to foster an atmosphere of hatred and distrust towards "fundamental Christianity" and they use every opportunity that is presented.

     This whole thing got me thinking.....I wonder how they feel about their "Messiah" in the White House trying to convince everyone in the world that he is a Christian?  Seems a little strange that they would demonize the faith of their President...Or are they?

     What is a Christian?  A Christian is a person who worships a God/Man/Spirit named Jesus Christ of Nazareth who willingly sacrificed himself upon a cross in a substitutionary atonement for the sins of mankind, thereby allowing mankind to have personal access to his creator and  freedom from sin and death. 
     True Christianity is not a man-made religion like every other religion in the world.  It is a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOD OF CREATION, and as such, requires a standard of behavior that is higher than any other standard in human society.  Christians, true Christians, do not murder innocent people and blow up government buildings - PERIOD.   The standard for a Christian starts at the 10 Commandments and goes even further by teaching that if you think on killing a person, you have already committed murder.

     Why is this subject important?  Next year this country will again be electing a President and there are numerous politicians who will claim to be "Christian" in order to get votes and some politicians, like the current President, claim to be Christian as well.  Jesus said that you will know Christians by their fruit, so let's look at some fruit.

     The Bible is quite clear that life begins before conception, in that God knows you before you are formed in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5), this means that abortion is murder.  No Christian would support the abortion of a child, in particular, the disgusting procedure called "partial birth abortion" supported by the Democratic party and Obama. 
     Obama, while at Harvard, wrote an article in the Harvard Law Review that pushed unlimited abortion rights and said that the government had more important business than "ensuring that any particular fetus is born".  One of his first executive acts as President was to reverse the Bush policy that stopped public funding of international abortions through NGO's.  He is a proponent of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) which sounds nice, but forces organizations who disagree with abortions to provide them on demand.    

     The Bible is also clear about the fact that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27).  Sin is a voluntary act of disobedience to God, therefore, homosexuality is not a genetic condition.  No Christian supports the agenda of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender sinners.  A Christian is to love this sinner as he loves others but he is to call the action of homosexuality what it is, a sin.
     The modern politician and the current President supports the homosexual agenda because they know it eventually destroys homosexual individuals and families in general.  This is a small part of bringing in another plank of the Communist manifesto and socialism. 
     In a speech in Ohio, March 2008, Obama actually tried to use the Biblical "Sermon on the mount" given by Jesus to defend gay rights and referred to the Romans 1 scripture as some "obscure" passage.  A true Christian would say there is nothing "obscure" in any chapter of the book of Romans. 
     Obama has consistently called for the repeal of the military "don't ask, don't tell" policy which will put homosexuals and other soldiers at risk.   He has instructed the Justice Department not to defend DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) statutes because he feels they are unconstitutional.  He instructed our Justice Department to not uphold a law!  Finally, the recent passage of "hate crimes" legislation, snuck through on a defense appropriations bill, protects sexual deviants of all stripes engaging in pedophilia, and 500 other deviant sexual activities.  All of this activity under the watch of a "Christian" President.
     One more important note on this subject:  In the United Kingdom, February 2011, the high court suggested that Christians with traditional (read fundamental, Bible believing) views on sexual ethics are unsuitable as foster parents and suggested that children risk being "infected" by Christian moral beliefs.  A quick look at our future if we continue to let this LGBT agenda grow.

     This same "Christian" President has announced to the entire world that the United States is not a Christian nation when the overwhelming majority of people in this country claim to be Christian as he does.  He does not participate in Judeo/Christian "National Day of Prayer" activities, and actually prefers to host Islamic "Ramadan" dinners instead. 
     At Georgetown University, in April of 2009, Obama insisted that all Christian symbology in the auditorium be covered or removed from sight before he gave his speech.  He uses the fact that he swore his Presidential oath on the Bible as more proof that he is a Christian, but won't mention the fact that his oath was "bumbled" and had to be re-sworn in private after the inauguration.  In private he could have sworn his oath on a Koran or a Betty Crocker cookbook for all I know. 
     Since I brought up the Koran, please note that this President and many other politicians seem to have a proclivity towards the acceptance of false religions like Islam.  Any semi-intelligent person who reads through a Koran can tell that the prophet Mohammed was an illiterate, demon possessed, murdering pedophile, and that Islam is absolutely anti-Christian and anti-Jew.  No true Christian can accept any tenant of Islam - they teach that Christ is not the son of god, Christ/God are not part of a trinity, and that Christ was not crucified!

     One of the most corrupt and vicious organizations on the planet is the United Nations.  Their definition of "Peace-Keeping" is genocide and there is plenty of history to prove it if you do some research on Katanga, East Timor, Rwanda, Uganda, etc...  A Christian abstains from all appearance of evil and corruption and these are the two most prominent attributes of the U.N. 
     Obama has made it clear that he submits to the wishes of this despotic organization.  The U.N. is a subject for another blog, but an example is in order.  One program called the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) sounds like a good program to protect children, but this convention renders the rights of parents to raise their children impotent.  It specifically protects children from being taught Christianity.  A true Christian would have nothing to do with the United Nations.

     True Christians keep their nose out of everyone elses personal lives.  Your President has seen fit to install Czars and advisors who think that you are not worthy to run your own lives.  This subject is also better served with its own article, but understand this:  John P. Holdren, Obama's Science and Technology Advisor, is a sick, leftist, anti-Christian elitist who thinks it is the government's job to control and reduce population by forced sterilization, forced abortion, and other totalitarian population control methods.  This was tried by another "Christian" during the period of 1934-1945, his name was ...................................

Adolf Hitler.

Communism For America - Part 2

     In Part 1 I introduced you to a short history of how Communism got started and why it is being celebrated by our government and corporate leaders.  Part 2 will show you how they have managed to destroy the will of the American population to be as great as we once were and to accept the fate as laid out for us by Lenin and his sympathizers.

     The last few years have been particularly harsh on people who believe in the Constitution, limited government, individual responsibility, and liberty - the values this nation was built on.  The current Alinskyite regime in Washington along with their state run mainstream media make fun of anyone who espouses these values and dares to disagree with any policy that the regime wants to institute.  They call us "flat-worlders", and "moon-landers" and try to convince everyone else that we are the defective ones.  Soon they will institute legislation that says we are mentally ill if we think like this - don't laugh, its coming.  It's become even more absurd with the Coronation of Obama; if you disagree with anything he says, you are labeled as a racist.

     As a whole, we have become ashamed of the America we used to be - How come?  Did it come naturally, in the course of history?  Did we "evolve" and "repent" of our rugged individualism?  The answer is NO, we are the victims of a slow generational indoctrination designed to undermine our belief in long held American values, the values that set us apart from the rest of the world and made us uniquely successful and free.  In return, those values have been supplanted by "change agents" with socialist values espoused by those who would like to rule over us in the future.

     This indoctrination was started and is continued by the same one-worlders I wrote about earlier.  They believe society needs to be "retrained" to accept a global view of living together in a "sustainable" global community where we are all working toward the same goal of a Socialist Utopia; one in which they are the rulers and we are the serfs.  Here it is important to grasp a particular economic reality; since the rest of the world cannot be brought to the same prosperous and free level as America, then America has to be brought down to the same level as the rest of the world.  This is the reason for "free trade" and "globalization", to re-distribute our wealth, and our jobs, to other nations in order to level us out economically.

     The indoctrination began in our schools a century ago with "the father of progressive education", John Dewey.  He dominated the teacher's college at Columbia University for almost 50 years, and was influential in determining what was taught in schools and how it was taught.  Dewey was what some might call a pragmatic relativist.  He believed that there was no definitive right or wrong, that morals were relative, that there is no such thing as God, that evil is non existent, and that man has no free will - he is a product of group conditioning.
     Hence, his educational thought centered around teaching children to think and work as a group instead of fostering individual achievement.  This process is imperative for communist nations because people are "herded" into specific groups, subservient to the state, in order to work as a team to bring success to the collective.  Individualism is their enemy.
     Dewey focused on creating a Marxist "class-consciousness" and "class-hatred" among the students in our schools.  It wasn't obvious of course, but it was and is there.  There was also an undercurrent of thought that Socialism was better for mankind than Capitalism. 

     Next enters the United nations and UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, run by another Commie one-worlder named Julian Huxley.  The U.N's program for global education has been slowly integrated into the American educational system and is focused on the destruction of nationalism, individualism, capitalism, and finally, Christianity. 
     The U.N. is a Communist organization.  Earl Browder, former Communist Party USA (CPUSA) leader once wrote:
     "The American Communists worked energetically and tirelessly to lay the foundations for the United Nations, which we were sure would come into existence".

     UNESCO's plan for global education was published in a multi-volume piece called Towards World Understanding; volume 5 of this plan states: 
     "Before the child enters school his mind has already been profoundly marked, and often injuriously, by earlier influences first gained, however dimly, in the home...it is frequently the family that infects the child with extreme nationalism.  The school should therefore use the means described earlier to combat family attitudes".

     You cannot tell me that this type of activity is not happening in some of our schools today.  I see stories on TV every day about kids being told they can't wear this patriotic shirt or that religious medalion, or they can't pray at school, or can't use the pencil with bible verses on it, etc....  Now the city of Chicago is telling their students that they cannot bring "bag lunches" from home because they can't regulate what the students eat that way.  This bunch of leftist losers actually thinks they know better how to raise your children than you do, and you are letting them get away with it.

     In 1932, William Z. Foster, Chairman of the CPUSA explained their plans for future education of America's children:
     "Schools, colleges, and universities will be co-ordinated and grouped under a National Department of education and its state and local branches.  The studies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of all religious, patriotic, and other features of Bourgeois ideology".

     This Communist one-worlder approach to education not only involves removal of family, religious, and parental influence, it includes a deliberate "dumbing down" of our children as well.
     In 1904, Frederick T. Gates, Chairman of the General Education Board (GEB), founded by John D. Rockefeller, wrote the following:
     "In our dream, we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand.  The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk..."
     "We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science.  We are not to raise up from among them authors, orators, poets or men of letters.  We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians.  Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply.  The task we set before ourselves is simple...We will organize children... and teach them to do in a perfect way the things that their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way".

     President Woodrow Wilson, another Socialist one-worlder and former President of Princeton University, while in office, made the following statement:
     "We want one class to have a liberal education.  We want another class, a very much larger class of necessity, to forego the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks".

     John Dewey worked at the University of Chicago as the head of several departments. This University was also founded by John D. Rockefeller and it contains a private, elite, K-12 school called the University of Chicago Field Lab School (UCFLS) still in use today.  To summarize, the UCFLS is a research and development lab for educational programs.  This setup is intended to accomplish the goals defined above by Gates.  The public (state run) education system is given programs developed at this school (and probably others).  Unfortunately, the programs that work are reserved for private prep schools and the programs that get delivered to the public system are the ones that make us non-competitive with the rest of the world.
     Now you know why children from America, score lower than children from other nations even after spending more and more money, year after year.  Just a note: Obama was a professor of Constitutional Law at this university.

     I know this post was long, but if you have been paying attention, it should be quite obvious that Communist one-worlders have hijacked our educational system and for 100 years have been re-educating the average masses in this nation with socialized values in order to build a large, mildly educated, misinformed and malleable working class population of socialist serfs to maintain their future collective.  Its working too.

Are you awake yet ....Comrade?

See you in part 3

Communism For America - Part 1

     I just recently read an article originating from the Washington Times that was about a General Motors agreement in late 2010 to sponsor a propaganda film celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist party (CCP).  The film, created by the Chinese Communist Party, is called "The Birth of a Party" and is set to premier on June 15 as reported by China Auto Web last September.
     Many bloggers and journalists have correctly noted that China has a history of brutal, totalitarian, and genocidal tendencies, and that the ideology of Communism has been responsible for the deaths of a least 100,000,000 innocent people throughout history (conservative estimate).  The sponsorship of a film celebrating this achievement is tantamount to admitting that one admires said achievement - so our government and GM must agree that Communism should be celebrated, right?  This seems to have upset some people.

     Welcome to the real world folks.  I was not surprised at this in the least, and as a matter of fact, I am surprised it has taken so long to get to this point.  May I remind you that in Comrade Obama's first year in office, September 20, 2009, the Communist Chinese flag was hoisted above the ellipse (a public gathering place at the President's residence) in Washington D.C. in observance of the 60th anniversary of Red China.
     I would further remind you that in that same month (the 30th), The Empire State Building in New York City was lit up in red and yellow in honor of the same event. 

     Notice that the film being premiered next month is about a 90th anniversary.  This timeframe suggests that the "celebration" is about Communism itself, not just Chinese Communism.  Red China was founded in 1949 after the United States government double-crossed the pro-western leader Chiang Kai-Shek after he refused to allow Chinese Communists into his government as ordered by George C. Marshall.  The U.S. cut off Chiang's supplies of amunition allowing him to be overrun by Chinese Communists, forcing him into refuge on the island of Formosa.
     Of course this was many years after Wall Street, the United States government, and the international banking interests of Morgan / Rockefeller families supplied the funds and materials to create and support the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, ultimately "creating" Communism about 90 years ago.  This is not about the anniversary of a Chinese political ideology, it's a celebration of the successful merging of Western capitalism with Eastern Communism through globalization of economies.  A dream of rich elitist's for over a century.
     Does this mean that our government leaders, business leaders, bankers, and big corporations are all commies?  Not necessarily, although some are and are proud to admit it.  No, these people are greedy opportunists, power hungry, atheists and eugenicists, who are knowledgeable of the fact that in order to increase their wealth and power, they must establish international economies in which they have a monopoly guaranteed by their relationship with governments.  To this end, they are forcing the entire planet into a "one world system" or "new world order", and if you look at China you will see the new model for society.   
     Welcome to The New World Order COMRADE!  Soon, you will understand what Robert Gibbs meant when referring to the U.S. keeping its "boot on the throat" of BP.  You will know what it is like to have your entire life surveilled by "big brother Obama" and his bureaucratic squints.  You will have the state telling you where you can go, what you can do, how many children you can have, where you can live, how much electricity you can use, how much water and gas you can use, what color of "green technology" clown car you can have, how much meat you can eat, etc..., and the state run media on MSNBC will be telling you every minute of every day how great it is that Uncle Sham loves you and wants to take care of you.  It's here folks!  Wake up!

     Shortly before he died, Lenin, the first Communist Dictator of Russia wrote:  "First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion of capitalism.  We will not have to attack, it will fall like an over-ripe fruit into our hands".

     Apparently he was right so far.  The Communists took Eastern Europe, they took China, then N Korea, N. Vietnam, etc...  They now have a foothold in Africa and in South America, and Fidel Castro was the man that put them within 90 miles of the mainland of our nation.  He had help from another U.S. administration that double-crossed Cuban refugees that had a plan to take their country back - we pledged air support for that operation and pulled out at the last minute so they would be slaughtered - remember, "Bay of Pigs". 
     In 1957 when Castro took over Cuba, he was hailed by the mainstream news media as an "Abraham Lincoln" and a "Robin Hood", but in reality he was just another two-bit genocidal, totalitarian, Communist thug who became a "useful idiot" for the U.S. government and world Communism.  We could have dragged him out of there but we didn't because there was no financial upside to it.

      But, you say,  "I thought our government was in the business of fighting Communism".  You are right, it is a business, and business is good.  Communism provides in all of it's nations by totalitarian central government, what the regulatory offices like the Federal trade Commission and Interstate Commerce Ccommission, etc... provides in the United States, a method of granting monopolies to favored businesses, financial corporations, and elitists families.
     Example from the past.  John D. Rockefeller, the first big oil man in America, used to say that "competition is a sin".  His philosophy therefore was to eliminate the competition and he was tight with federal politicians and regulators. 
     The average guy would think that John D. would want the Feds out of his big oil business, but through regulatory law, his government buddies "forced" him to "break it up" because of its size and monopolistic tendencies.  Of course, as  a "law abiding citizen" he did, and through Federal assistance was able to break up Standard oil, spread it all over the country, and expand his monopoly out of the Eastern U.S. via interlocking directorates of the various oil companies.  He still controlled them, still owned them, there were just more of them and his monopoly increased in size.  Of course the history books record how the benevolent government forced the big bad capitalist to stop beating up on the poor "mom and pop" oil companies in order to assure fair trade and profit for everyone; what a scam!  The same game was played with railroads, but I won't get into that.
     The point I am getting to here is this....Communism serves a two-fold purpose and there is history to prove these points. 
     One, Communism served as an antithesis to capitalism and the American way, in order to provide a "boogie man" for the continuance of war, which is profit, because war material is basically used once, then replaced.  These rich elitists, bankers, and corporations fund both sides, they can't lose.  Have you noticed that since "Communists" have become our "economic partners", we had to have a new "boogie man" called "terrorism" in order to perpetuate war?  This is not a coincidence. 
     Secondly, Communism helps the elitist one worlder to attain his goals of economic hegemony.  Nothing says "monopolized market" like a centrally planned and controlled government forcing people to buy specifically allowed products and specifically required products (i.e. expensive, GE curly cue fluorescent, mercury filled light bulbs - get the picture yet?)
     The Morgan/Rockefeller/Wall Street clan saw a huge market monopoly in Russia, China, and everywhere they could possibly get a foot in the door with various despotic regimes, Communism just seems to be the ideology that the average human being thinks he understands and likes.  Our government has numerous relationships with greedy, power hungry despots of all ideologies that enables them and their elitist partners to profit through the misery of entire nations.  China just happens to be the biggest, and the one that was planned to take the United States down economically.  This is how we will fall like "over-ripe fruit".
     This "Arab Spring Uprising" that we are witnessing in Africa and the Middle East has nothing to do with "Democracy", mark my words, this has to do with building a region of despotic control.  It will be much easier to control these nations when they are being ruled under one consistent ideology and Islam is about as controlling and despotic as it gets.  Islam and Communism are like "two peas in a pod".  Watch Israel too, because it will be the only "reasonable" regime in the area - they all want it destroyed.

     On August 10, 1973, the New York Times published an article written by David Rockefeller upon his return from a trip to China.  He wrote:  "The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in history".  What was so successful about it? The man was a butcher!  Millions of people died under his regime!  People are STILL trying to escape from that country.
     The same year, Rockefeller founded the Trilateral Commission, naming pro-Communist Zbigniew Brzezinski as its director.  The Trilateral Commission is a collection of ruling elites from 3 regions who are using "debt" to economically de-stabilize nations, forcing them into Socialist submission through programs controlled by NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, and the WTO.  Rockefeller and the boys are neck deep in this stuff, and their creation, Communism, is their most important economic and social tool.

     Like I stated earlier, these guys are celebrating the success of their merging of Western Capitalism with Eastern Communism.  Our government should be treating every Communist government in the world like the international criminal scum that they are, but we continue to fund them through free trade, globalization, and international banking games because they are elitist offspring, they created them.
      Instead of trying to stop the worldwide spread of Communism, we're building them gas-guzzling Cadillac's and helping them make celebration movies about the butcher of Beijing while our government wants to put us in tiny little overpriced electric clown cars;  whats wrong with this picture?

See you for Part 2...........................Comrades

Biblical Apocalypse Now?

     Well, Harold camping is back at it again.  The fairly well known false prophet and founder of Family Radio Worldwide has issued another international false prophecy, claiming that "beyond the shadow of doubt, May 21 will be the date of the rapture and the day of judgement".  Unfortunately, Mr. camping has just succeeded in giving the mainstream news media more ammunition to claim that "born again" Christians who believe in the rapture are "wingnuts".  I wish folks like him and the people at the Westboro Baptist Church would just keep their mouth shut.
     Mr. Camping has used a twisted interpretation of scripture to justify his prophecy, just like all false prophets do.  Evidently he believes that Genesis 7:4 helps to prove his point.  This scripture says: "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the Earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth".
     He uses 2 Peter 3:8 to justify his calculations.  This scripture says: "that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day".  He tries to make the connection that the seven days in the Genesis verse is actually 7000 years and that, since by his calculations, the flood took place in 4990 B.C., that 7000 years from the flood is judgement day and the day of the rapture.  He is wrong.  Most biblical scholars agree that Bishop James Usshers' calculations that man was most likely created around 4003-4004 B.C. is accurate, so the Genesis flood happening in 4990 B.C. is impossible.  History and scripture place the flood at around 2350 B.C.
     Although a 1000 year to one day scriptural connotation can be used in some cases, the situation here is not one that works.  Genesis 7:4 is a prophecy in itself, which was fulfilled in the flood exactly seven days after the Lord said it would happen, not 7000 years.  God has also made a promise to the human race that he would not destroy the world by flood again.  Genesis 9:11 says: "and I will establish my Covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth".  The use of this scripture for a rapture prophecy and a future judgement day is ludicrous.
     Will there be a rapture of the church?  Yes, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 makes it clear as a bell:  "For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the Trump of God:  and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:  and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words".  There is no mistaking the literal interpretation of these verses - PERIOD.  Will it happen today? Most likely not.  The Lord told us that "no man" or "angel", nor the Lord himself would know the day or the hour of this event.  Only God the father knows, because he knows the final population of the church.
     You see, the rapture is the continuation of the first resurrection, of which Christ was the "First Fruits" of those who slept.  The first resurrection event has been on hold for almost 2000 years to enable the Gentile Church to evangelize the world for Christ.  When the fullness of the Gentile Church has "come in", God will send his Son Jesus to collect his bride, the church.  This is the first resurrection and the rapture and it can happen at any time, even before I finish this sentence.   Still here.
     The removal of the church serves another purpose as well.  The Christian Church is a restrainer on worldwide evil, without it the world would be more vicious than it is right now.  The removal of the church will enable the rise of the antichrist, starting  the last 7 years of Satan's rule over the Earth.  The second half of this period will be 3-1/2 years of the worst tribulation man has ever witnessed, culminating in the second coming of Christ, the battle of Armageddon, and Christs' thousand year reign as King.  That's the short version, more detail can be found as this new Blogspot develops.
     The big question for you today is...What if the rapture did happen today?  Would you be left behind?  It is your choice, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today, who knows, you might just be the last born again believer to "come in"!  Make your reservation for the flight out!

God Bless,
