The Guns Must Go!

Let's suppose Fast & Furious was not a program gone bad, but rather it was exactly what was intended, that is without the death of a Border control officer. What if the plan was to release these guns, well aware that the Mexican cartels would use them in crimes, then intensify the campaign to restrict and ultimately eliminate access to guns for Americans. Is it possible the real target was our 2nd Amendment? The Bible clearly teaches that in the last days there will be a One World government controlled by a single individual identified as the Antichrist (see my previous blogs). This coming One World government cannot not will it allow guns to exist. Throughout history every dictator who has come to power has confiscated guns as well as anything that could be used as a weapon.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but I am a student of the Word of God. As such I see clearly how the world stage is being set for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. In addition I want to remind us these things do not happen suddenly, but rather like a sunset. As one stands and watches the horizon, the sun slowly begins the process of dropping out of sight. Bible prophecy events tend to unfold in the same manner. That said, many Christ followers are now seeing things rapidly falling into place that will facilitate these prophesied events.

I doubt seriously that anything of consequence will happen to Eric Holder or the President, who may or may not be directly complicit in this tragedy. However, I have no doubt we are living in the last days and that America is on the Fast and Furious track to our demise!

Four Reasons This Generation Could be the Last

Almost every day I talk to people about the soon coming of Christ. The vast majority of the time I hear the same responses over and over again. When speaking with someone who is not a believer and who does not attend a church regularly the response is one of skepticism, doubt and outright indifference. When I speak to people who claim to be believers and who attend a church regularly the response is one of skepticism, doubt and outright indifference. That's right, I get the same response from both groups! The majority of the world today never believed the world was coming to an end last May, nor do they believe it will happen on December 21, 2012 as the supposed Mayan calendar reveals (according to today's news archaeologist have now discovered new evidence that refutes the idea of the world's demise anytime soon. I find this interesting since I always tell people the Mayans wrote their calendars on rocks, they ran out of rocks, GET OVER IT!)

The idea that there will be a day of judgment, a day of reckoning for all humankind, that man really is not the center of the universe but God is, has long been the recipient of ever increasing mockery. That said, I want to take this opportunity to simply point out 4 very relevant reasons our time is different from previous ones.

First, we are the people who have witnessed a Miracle. The Miracle is that a nation separated from its land for nearly twenty centuries reemerged and today is a viable home to its Jewish inhabitants. On May 14, 1948 God made good on His numerous promises to deliver the Jewish people back to their historic homeland and their nation was re-born. This event was a game changer! Why, you will need to read my latest book, It Could Happen Tomorrow, to get the rest of the story.

Second, we as a people have and are experiencing the explosion of technology. Thanks to Al Gore's invention of the Internet we are living in a new world. Time travel really is possible as we watch events unfold in real time on the opposite side of the globe. No one can deny that this new world in which we live is unlike previous times. We today understand things such as bio-chip implant technology and RFID's. We know we live in a surveillance society. Cameras are everywhere and we have grown accustomed to the idea of being watched and in fact, many in our day enjoy the very idea of this intrusion into our privacy. Headlines: more intrusiveness is on its way in an attempt to, "make us more safe".

Third, we now have rogue terrorist nations in possession or soon will be of nuclear weapons and this truly is a game changer! We are the generation who now lives with the constant, ever present reality that the world could be destroyed by religiously driven nut and no, it is not the evangelical Bible believers, nor the Tea Party patrons who pose this threat.

Fourth, the spiritual condition of the "church" in America is a telling indicator of the loss of our moral compass (the following comments do not apply to 100% of the churches but to a far greater number than most will admit). One need only read a days worth of news to see how far we have moved away from the truths and commands of God's Word, the Bible. The Church has replaced the exhortation to Preach the Word with a monologue of feel good warm fuzzies and the resulting in a generation of Biblical illiterate people who could care less what God (if He exists) thinks about anything.

If any of what I have said is true and it is. What are we to do? Great question. Here is God's answer, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son and whosoever believes (trusts, relies totally upon) in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

The Mayan calendar is a joke but the Word of God is true and the clock is ticking. Jesus Christ, God in the flesh is coming soon. Is He coming for YOU? Just my thoughts.

The Unconstitutional President

With each passing day we see steps taken by this President and his Czars that evidence a total disregard for our Constitution. America has been an exceptional nation because the most unique foundation in the world's history was laid by our Founders. These unique men were very aware of the dangers unlimited power would do to restrict freedom. Their vision was clear due to the fact they had witnessed this type of oppression in various areas of their world and they did not want this for themselves nor their posterity. Fast forward almost 236 years and the question is, what happened to our freedom? Could we be poised to truly lose our freedoms? I just read an article written by our friends at Liberty Counsel alerting us to a very clear and present danger. I wrote about what God has to say about this day in my book, It Could Happen Tomorrow. (www.discoverymissions.org) I encourage you to read it as well as an excerpt from the article and I have linked the entire article and encourage you to sign their petition. (http://www.libertyaction.org/347/petition.asp)

Under President Barack Obama, the Executive Branch’s quest for power at the expense of the other two Branches appears to be accelerating.  In fact, the administration’s propensity to sidestep the Constitution is making news nearly every day now.

According to columnist Jeffrey T. Kuhner of The Washington Times, through his quietly announced “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order (EO) signed on March 16th, President Obama placed himself and certain government bureaucrats above the law.

That single EO granted the power “to commandeer all U.S. domestic resources, including food and water, as well as seize all energy and transportation infrastructure inside the borders of the United States.”

Further, the Government can also forcibly draft U.S. citizens into the military and force U.S. citizens to fulfill ‘labor requirements’ for the purposes of ‘national defense.’ There is not even any congressional oversight allowed – only briefings, says Kuhner.

Mr. Kuhner called Obama’s power grab, “stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution… He now possesses the potential powers of a dictator.”

Just My Thoughts!

Christ at the Checkpoint. Really?

I am always amazed at the believers who place tolerance, acceptance and pseudo love ahead of Biblical truth. Does God love everyone? Absolutely yes! Does He tolerate falsehood? Absolutely not! Here's the issue. Many Christians today have the attitude that the Jews have no right to the land God gave them and that the Palestinians are entitled to their own land. Here's the facts briefly stated. The land of Israel, that is from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River belongs to the descendants of Shem promised to Abraham in Genesis 12, 15 and further validated upon the miraculous birth of Isaac in chapter 17.  In Genesis 17:17-22, God the creator and owner of all the universe declares clearly that His covenant with Abraham and Isaac is everlasting! God says what HE means and means what HE says, therefore no one has the right to the land except the Jews. That said, should the Jews be unkind to those of other nationalities? No, that is not until they start launching missiles at them and their families such as what has and is taking place regularly. Then they are entitled to defend themselves just like any other sovereign people.

So, along come the Christ at the Checkpoint folks
(http://www.thejerusalemconnection.us/blog/2012/02/23/christ-at-an-israeli-checkpoint.html) who somehow think they can bring peace in this region which is constantly in turmoil. The truth is there motives may be pure, although misguided due to the fact it makes the Jews and Israel out once again to be the bad guys while promoting the sinister philosophy of Replacement Theology which relegates the Jews to insignificance in our day.

Please be advised I love the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Christians but we need to be asking Palestinian Christians how they feel about the Jews. If their response is saturated with venom we should beware because they must have forgotten that Jesus was born, lived, died and rose again as a Jew!

What Would You Say if...Part 2

The vast majority of Americans have an attitude of indifference when it comes to the Return of Christ and Bible prophecy. They reason it has been 2,000 years and Jesus has not returned so what's the big deal? In fact, the world is experiencing several things prophesied in the Word of God to occur in the last days and it is sad that most are unaware of the importance of these events. For example, the return of the Jews to their land for a starter. Never in history has a people been deported from their homeland, remained separated from it for more than 200 years and then returned and reconstituted as a nation once again. But, the Jews did it! The ancient prophets wrote about this very event over and over again in the Old Testament and Jesus spoke of it as well in the New.

What about the prophecy concerning a coming Islamic invasion of Israel as recorded in Ezekiel chapters 38-39. We read about ancient countries but as we put their modern names to the places we are shocked that it reads like today's headlines!

What about the prophecy of everyone needing a Mark in order to buy or sell, to survive in the end times? Revelation 13:16-18 is clear that without this Mark there will be no access to goods and services needed to survive. No one could imagine years ago how everyone could be marked and monitored until the explosion in technology occurred in our time.

These are only a few of many, many prophecies that have been given to those who are wise, watchful and waiting for the coming of Christ, and each of these scream it is near.

So, do we ignore the words of warning that we are in the last days or do we heed these words? The decision is yours and yours alone to make. I am praying today you either have or will choose life in Jesus Christ...TODAY!

The Mark and You

In my tireless effort to see world events through a Biblical lens, that is a 3rd dimension as opposed to just the socio-economic lens, I am once again reminded of the accuracy of the Word of God. The Bible clearly informs the interested reader of just "how" the world will be monitored and controlled in the coming years. The Revelation records in Chapter 13 verse 16-18 that a coming world leader will require a Mark to be taken and without said Mark one cannot survive. I explain in detail in my new book, It Could Happen Tomorrow, (New Leaf Press) how our generation is the first in world history to possess the technology to facilitate this coming reality. To further my case I have just learned that the 1.2 billion inhabitants of India will soon be inducted into a new nationwide biometric identification program directed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). This program will use three forms of information- fingerprints, iris scans and facial recognition. As always the programs proponents tout the many benefits of such a program omitting the inherent danger to individual freedoms and privacy, not to mention the many additional adaptations that will come later. Click here for the full story

This new program is simply another one in a long line of programs being initiated with the ultimate goal being not one of identification, but one of control. Most of the time when I share information like this it is discounted and largely ignored. But one day, the reality of this is going to begin to dawn on some people as to just how exact God's Word is and that it is the only reliable source for what tomorrow holds for this world and it's inhabitants.
