Secret Meetings and Submarines
Posted: Monday, October 05, 2009

Secret meetings. Well, they were meant to be secret. Our Prime Minister makes a trip this week to Russia in a private jet clutching a list of Russian nuclear scientists who are helping Iran build a nuclear weapon.

The IDF Chief of Staff, Gabi Ashkenazi flies to France yesterday for a secret meeting with Adm. Michael Mullen - the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and Gen. Jean-Louis Georgelin the chief of the French Defense Staff.

Without a lot of media fanfare, Israel has bought two more Dolphin-class Submarines from Germany, identical to the others Israel now has. They are equipped to launch Cruise missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The interesting thing about these two subs is that no one seems to know where they are! Some maintain Germany has only delivered one, yet others say they have delivered both. However, no one really has any idea where they might be. They haven't been seen here in Israel anywhere around the Haifa Port - where they would normally be based.

It has been reported weeks ago that one Israeli sub was escorted through the Suez Canal along with at least one battleship. Their current location is unknown - or at least remains undisclosed. I think it is safe to assume they are all somewhere within range of the Iranian nuclear sites?

The one obstacle that seems to be holding things up is Obama and his unwillingness to give the go-ahead for Israeli war planes to over-fly US controlled Iraqi air space. It has also been absurdly suggested that if Israeli aircraft pass through Iraqi air-space without Obama's approval, they may be shot down by American forces.

The fact is, Iran must be stopped now - or they will soon hold the free world hostage with their new found nuclear weapons - threatening the total destruction of Israel, giving her little to no choice in the matter. What should also be understood is that America is seen in Iran as the Big Satan, and it is certain that this wild man Ahmadinejad will attack by one means or the other. Possible by detonating dirty bombs and setting loose Terrorists Cells located all over the US.

When this things kicks off we here in Israel will find ourselves in the middle of a living hell. But guess what? I read The Book that says we win with the help of Almighty God, and I don't even think He needs our help.

All of the above brings, or will bring, fear into the lives of men and many will be unable to handle events - simply dying of heart failure. The overcomers will be those who have God's peace (Shalom) in their hearts, making it possible for them to witness to others of the salvation offered by our blessed Messiah Yeshua. They having come to the full knowledge that salvation comes by no other means.

God has called each of us to a Ministry. Maybe you don't yet know yours? If not, I want to suggest that you read a book I wrote awhile back titled "Gifts of the Spirit through the Tabernacle". It will allow you to discover your spiritual gift, or gifts, and to identify those of others. Knowing your calling from God will be very important in the coming days.

Everyone reading this knows the calling of this Ministry. We will, and must save as many Jewish lives as possible, and the amount of lives we will save depends on several things. First of all, the hand of God is upon this Ministry. Secondly, our willingness to prepare and be obedient in this time of preparation. We have much left to accomplish including buying the larger boat. There is groundwork to be done, and that is a never-ending job. We can only reach out so far from our base here in Israel, but as we grow we can reach further and rescue many more.

I am asking you to pray over your part in this Ministry. It is going to take some real commitment from many of you reading this. You know what God is saying to you, I only ask you to be obedient to that calling.

Connie and I will be making another trip to Turkey in the near future and I ask for your prayer, We will give you the dates when we return, I am sure you can understand why?

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.

Shalom, Jerry Golden

Nuclear 9/11...It’s Coming

By Jason Lovelace


Key Scriptures:

“Their land is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.” - Isaiah 2.8

“And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD), that thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms…Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.” - Ezekiel 16.23-25, 27

“The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. Therefore, now, amend your ways, and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.” -Jeremiah 26.13-14 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” - 2nd Timothy 4.4-5

“…sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon thee.” - John 5.14

“This is the interpretation of the thing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” - Daniel 5.24-27

We all remember the date and what happened: September 11th, 2001. For every American - yea, every person who was alive and watching the news of that horrific day - the events of September 11th, 2001 have forever been burned into our psyche, our memories, and our minds. It was on this day that four airplanes were hijacked, with three of them crashing into both of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, New York, and the Pentagon Building in Washington, D.C. In the time since that horrific day, the United States of America has continued on her downward spiral into sin, iniquity, and destruction. In many ways, especially those having anything to do with morals and Biblical Values, we, the Citizenry of the United States of America have not only continued to enjoy the sliding moral decay that has continued unabated since the middle of the 20th Century, but have embraced it. Abomination now is popularized, magnified, and enjoyed, uplifted in the US of A for all the world to see. It’s as if we, the American People didn’t learn a thing from September 11th. Now, God wants the world to know that worse -- far, far worse -- is in store for the USA if we fail to turn around and repent.

Their land is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

If we take even a casual glance around at the United States of America, we can easily see that this verse of Scripture from the Prophet Isaiah is glaringly and appallingly clear and easy to see. We Americans love our entertainment. We love movies, television, stage and theatre, music, internet use, and, to a lesser extent, magazines, newspapers, and books. We Americans love to be entertained. Though movie ticket sales dropped a bit in the mid stages of the first decade of the 21st Century, as of this year, movies are now more popular and famous as ever. Television is still the rage, and TV shows of every stripe and type can be viewed, even on public airwaves. Television has been a boom and a boon since its invention in the early decades of the 20th Century, and its popularity - especially since the advent of cable and satellite TV - has exploded. Music, as well, has continued to be a booming market, with new and varied genres and styles of music being created to satiate an ever more demanding American populace. Since its onset almost two decades ago, the internet has also exploded. As of this date (September 19th, 2009), websites on the worldwide web number in the tens of billions (a Google search for the letter “A” numbered “about 14,380,000,000”). More and more people are creating and accessing the Internet in ever greater numbers. Even other communication and entertainment outlets continue to be popular and well trafficked. The sad reality of all of this is that most of these forms of entertainment have now supplanted any kind of desire to learn or know about Jesus Christ. Just a little over a decade ago, the Pastor of College Church of the Nazarene at the time delivered a message in which he stated that the number of people now actively engaged in any kind of Bible Training in the church numbers two out of every ten. Just a few decades before this particular message, that number stood at eight out of ten. Could it be that the American People have set up entertainment and “having fun” as false gods? Could it be that Isaiah, when he wrote these words to the nation of Israel almost three thousand years ago, that in reality, he was also seeing this day and age? More and more Americans are going to movies, sitting in front of the TV, and listening to any number of radio stations than ever before. The internet is red-hot with activity at any hour of the day. Yet for all of this, how many Americans take time to spend with God in the morning or evening, or both? How many people find themselves inside of a church on the weekend? How many Americans spend quality time in actual prayer before the Lord? It seems that Isaiah’s prophecy is square on with the US of A.

Thou Hast...Multiplied Thy Whoredoms

If the previous prophecy from Isaiah weren’t enough, when taking a look at US Entertainment, what do we find? On television alone, we see more sex, violence, acceptance of homosexuality, and other abominations (and this is all on public television) being not only portrayed, but glorified every single night on every single TV station in the land. Where homosexuality was once relegated to very late night television and a sparsely few cable and satellite providers, it is now glorified on public television. Portrayals of sex and sexual situations have continued to grow and explode in mainstream media for the past fifty years, with every deviant sexual flavor imaginable being glorified. Violence on Television has also seen an expansive growth in programming. More and more blood is being spilled on television to an ever increasingly voracious appetite of American viewers. The movie industry has seen these categories expound and expand even more. Movies that would have been considered abhorrent and rejected fifty or sixty years ago are now not only embraced, but encouraged to go to deeper and deeper portrayals of depravity (The Saw series alone has seen movies plunge into the depths of depravity with regards to violence). The internet, as well, with its millions and billions of web pages has also seen an explosion of sites geared towards sin and iniquity. A Google search for the word “porn” brings up about 207 million web pages, while a search for “bomb making” brings up nearly 44 million pages. Magazines - especially those of the fashion, men’s, and sports genres - have also seen considerable changes with regards to morality. Men’s magazines, such as FHM, Maxim, GQ, regularly show women in various stages of undress, even so far as full frontal nudity. Fashion and lifestyle magazines not only offer photos of nudity for both sexes, but regularly include articles on sexual pleasure. The rise also of erotic books and magazines continues unabated, with Playboy and Hustler showing a resurgence of popularity. Could it be, also, that Ezekiel the Prophet saw this day and age through the mind and eyes of faith, and wrote the words mentioned above in today’s keys in order to speak directly to the people of the US of A?

They Shall Turn Their Ears Away from the Truth

The Apostle Paul was not only writing to Timothy about the day and age in which they lived; he was also writing of this day and age. In frightening similarity to Ancient Rome, the United States of America, the last Superpower, is quickly turning away from the truth. Recent Statistics have sown that 76% of Americans say that they are Christians. While this is very, very good news to many, including this writer, the stark reality is that many of these professing to be Christians may very well be cultural Christians, or CINOs (Christians In Name Only). Further, this statistic of 76% is down from 80% just eight years ago. The fact of the matter is that many believers and many people who call themselves Christians are either going through the motions, or are part of a church or denomination that preaches any number of heresies. The current popular message today in the church is the “Prosperity Gospel” message. This message is one that teaches and preaches that if one is truly faithful, truly believing, and truly trusting in God, he or she will be rich, wealthy, and financially secure. Preachers such as Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, and Creflo Dollar teach that if a person gives money to this or that ministry, God will make them healthy and wealthy. Other churches and preachers, in order to draw in crowds, have watered down the Gospel to the point that words and phrases such as “Sin”, “Hell”, “Lake of Fire”, “Eternal punishment”, “Satan”, and “Devil” are no longer preached. The dangers of sin and its eternal consequences are downplayed, with a love gospel being bandied about as the message of the day. Still other churches have accepted and embraced deviant lifestyles, snipping away and cutting out clear and easily seen Bible passages that speak against them. More and more Americans are becoming followers of these kinds of false messages and doctrines of men, all the while the gospel of Jesus Christ is relegated to the fringes, those calling out for condemnation of sin and sinful lifestyles tagged with any number of labels, including “fundamentalist” and “fringe”. No longer do popular pastors, churches, and Christian leaders preach the truth, but instead, preach popularity, self-esteem, a humanist based gospel of works and feelings instead of the rock-bottom truth of righteousness and holiness. Anyone who does dare to stand up and speak the truth is immediately denounced as a fundamentalist or residing somewhere in the fringe of society. Even many church leaders, such as Rev. Jesse Jackson and which have fallen into sin and sinfulness have maintained their ministries and lifestyles. Still other church leaders - such as Jack Van Impe and even Billy Graham - have ceased in the Gospel Message they started with and are now embracing heretical forms of an all-inclusive Gospel in which Jesus Christ is really no longer the only way. It would seem that 2000 years ago Paul was writing about things that are happening right now. More and more Americans want so little to do with the truth, and are for themselves piling up preachers and teachers who would rather tickle their ears than point out sin and its dangers.

Sin No More, Lest a Worse Thing Come Upon Thee

“How dare you judge me?!? Didn’t Jesus say, ‘Judge not…?’” How many times has this phrase been called out by someone on the receiving in of the truth? Yet the glaring fact of the matter is, most people who use this phrase to justify their sin go right on with their lives, never changing or repenting of the sin which has so easily entangled them (Hebrews 12.1). They also forget that the Bible is replete with calls from God for people to be holy as he is holy, Jesus himself telling two people on separate occasions to stop sinning. In the particular verse of Scripture from above, Jesus had just healed a man who’d been a sick invalid for thirty-eight years. This man had turned Jesus over to the Pharisees, and when Jesus found him again had spoken this warning to him. The question must be asked, “What could be worse than 38 years of crippling illness?” Many could ask a similar question with the same vein of thought: “What could be worse than September 11th, 2001?” The fact is, for both questions, there is and there could be a LOT worse. The crippled man form the Pool of Bethesda is not mentioned again anywhere in the Bible, so we don’t know if he left his life of sin and followed Jesus Christ. However, what could be worse than 38 years of crippling disease? This was a question asked by the Pastor of Olathe Westside Church in a sermon about 12 years ago, and his answer was profound:

“What could be worse? An Eternity in the lake of fire, separated from God and without the salvation of Jesus Christ is infinitely worse on all counts! What could be worse than sitting beside a pool for nearly forty years, not able to do much, hoping beyond hop for a miraculous movement of water, and not getting much? Someone sitting in hell’s black darkness for all eternity without hope and without the saving, redeeming light of Jesus Christ is far, far worse!” - Rev. Charles Pickens - Senior Pastor: Westside Church of the Nazarene, Olathe, Kansas, USA, From the Sunday Sermon, “What Could Be Worse?” - August 1998

What could be worse than September 11th, 2001 and the terrorist attacks that came with them? Far, far worse things come to mind.

A Warning from Daniel

When Daniel spoke the interpretation of the words written on the wall by the hand of God, King Belshazzar basically ignored the warning he was given. He and the rest of his lords, ladies, wives, concubines, nobles, and soldiers trusted in the thick, impregnable walls of the city of Babylon to protect him. It is said that the walls of Ancient Babylon were so thick and so great, four chariots could be driven abreast of each other, and on top of this, the city was surrounded by two tributaries of the River Euphrates. Even further, the Babylonian Army was, up to that point, the greatest in the world. On paper, the king had no reason to fear nor worry about Daniel’s interpretation. Yet, as the Scriptures clearly state:

“In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.” - Daniel 5.30

Despite his apparent protection, the armies of the Persians and Medes still managed to take the city, just as God had predicted. In a similar way, many in the US of A think that there could never be another 9/11 on US soil. Because of heightened security, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the continuing War on Terror, the vigilance of the US Military, and the subtle and secret workings of the CIA and other intelligence agencies in the US, many Americans believe that the US cannot and will not be hit with a terror attack again. In a similar fashion as King Belshazzar, most Americans are depending on earthly protections while dismissing God altogether. Yet, September 11th, 2001, was the handwriting on the wall. For one whole day, the US of A could not defend itself against nineteen men. Think of it: nineteen men from third world countries held the USA, the greatest power on the earth, in modern history, and one of the greatest in all of history with a population of 300 million, hostage for an entire day (The Old Testament is rife with Scripture Verses which state that in an unbelieving nation, thousands would run from one, and with five, ten thousand would be put to flight. Didn't this very thing happen on 9/11/01?). If the USA couldn’t defend itself against nineteen determined men, could not worse be in the offing.

Weighed in the Balances and Found Wanting

Yet since that time - since that devastating day of September 11th, 2001 - what has changed in the USA, except for tightened security on inbound planes? Has the citizenry of the United States learned its lessons and repented of the sins and iniquities we have, for so long, embraced? Have we as an American society changed our ways and come to accept the God of the Founding Fathers as the true foundation for the USA? The fact of the matter is, very little has changed in the US since September 11th 2001. Immediately after the terrorist attacks, church attendance skyrocketed. Within six months to a year, church attendance had dropped to pre-9/11 levels, and the decline has steadily continued until today. Instead of calling for repentance, the USA has continued to embrace deviant lifestyles, abominable practices, sordid violence, seedy sex, and vitriolic forms of entertainment. Despite the fact that 30 states in the United states of America have voted against same-sex marriage, homosexual advocates continue to pressure courts, elected officials, and legislatures to demand their “right” to “marry”. Abortion on demand is still the law of the land, with thousands of abortions taking place daily in the USA. Children in Junior High and High School - and in some states, late-elementary school - continue to be indoctrinated into the Public School system’s and Government Sponsored fallacy of “’safe’ sex”, and being given condoms or vouchers for other forms of birth control. The mainstream media continues to decry anything having to do with the Name of Jesus Christ, and Hollywood continues its downward spiral into the cesspool of immorality producing more and more movies and TV shows filled with all imaginable forms of immorality, violence, and sin glorifying self and sensuality at the expense of all that is good and right. Its as if we as a Nation have learned nothing from September 11th, 2001.

Thy Kingdom is Divided

As if all of this were not bad enough, in 2006 and 2008, the United States Electorate placed into office - by their vote - people who have little to no regard for God, His Word, His Son, or anything having to do with Him. In the mid-term elections of 2006, Democrats were swept into the majority, as Americans voted out the Republican Majority that had resided in congress since 1994. With this change came the Democratic leaders, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, and Representative- turned-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of California. The problem with both of these people is that they have had long-standing issues aimed against Jesus Christ and his church. Yet, what is frightening is the way in which these two and their Democrat Colleagues were elected into office: the Christian voting bloc which had helped George W. Bush win two presidential elections turned out in great numbers and voted mostly with the Democrats. In 2008, this would again be the case as most voters who called themselves Christians helped to elect Sen. Barack Hussein Obama into the office of President of the United States of America. The problem with this scenario is that all three of the people who were swept into office by strong Christian voter polling in their favor is that Sen. Reid, Speaker Pelosi, and worst of all, President Obama have taken positions and stand on principles that go entirely against Christian values. All three support homosexual “rights”; all three support strengthening abortion on demand (something that President Obama has promised to do is to make the Freedom of Choice Act [FOCA] the law of the land); all three support restricting free speech in the form of “Hate Crimes” legislation. Now that all three are in the highest elected positions in the land, they are already working to get their ideology and their agendas made into the law of the land. Though many Christians have opposed them and voted against them in the recent elections, the fact remains that Christian voters placed these people into office. As such, we as a Church in the USA are divided. Jesus Christ himself speaks a dire warning about being divided:

“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought into desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand…” - Matthew 12.25

Could it be that, as the Church has divided its vote between “hope and change” and voting for what is good and right, that we as a nation and church are on the brink of desolation and fall, as Jesus warned?

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN

God’s words written to warn King Belshazzar are again glaring to us in this present day and age: MENE - Just as Daniel told the king that Babylon had been numbered, so is God telling us in the USA that our kingdom, as well, is numbered. We can already see how the world is beginning to shift its attention away from the USA, thanks in large part to the financial meltdown that occurred over the last year. Already, the heads of four countries that have been dependent on US Trade have called for the end of the US Dollar’s dominance n the world economic stage. Several commentators and pundits have also stated most recently that all it would take is some great event to push the USA over the brink on which we are already teetering. Could this event be the much prophesied Rapture of the Church? Could something else, such as a terrorist strike - far worse than 9/11/01 - be the ending factor for the USA? We’ve elected Barack Hussein Obama to be our 44th President of the USA. Could his first term be the first “MENE”, with a possible looming second term being the second “MENE”? Could it be that God is warning us of dire implications should President Obama be re-elected? Could the strikes on two locations (Washington D.C. and New York City, N.Y.) be God’s way of giving us Americans the “writing on the wall”? Could it also be that the two destroyed World Trade Center Towers (which have yet to be memorialized in stone, and no replacement buildings yet built, incidentally) - essentially the symbols of 9/11/01 - are America’s “MENE, MENE”? Is it mere coincidence only that four planes were hijacked, and God’s handwritten words in Daniel were also four (MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN)? Is God, even after eight years have passed since 9/11/01, still trying to tell us, the citizenry of the USA, something important, dire, and urgent?

TEKEL - As described above, the immorality of the USA has been weighed in God’s balances, and we as a nation are found wanting. In the thirty-six years since the Supreme Court of the United States of America legislated from the bench and legalized abortion on demand, 50 million innocents in the USA have been put to death. Christ states very clearly in the Proverbs that the shedding of innocent blood is an abomination to him:

“These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination to him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood…” - Proverbs 6.16-17

Even further, the Bible is replete with account after account of civilizations being destroyed - including Israel - for their own shedding of innocent blood. Along with this, homosexuality is gaining more and more acceptance and strength in the USA, and despite the majority of Americans being against same-sex “marriage”, several states by way of their supreme courts have legalized homosexual “marriage” as protected under the law. How much longer will God wait? September 11th, 2001 proved that we as a society have been weighed and found wanting: the slide into immorality has only gotten worse. Is it almost time for another wake-up call from God? Must he again remove his hand of protection and blessing to get our attention? PERES/UPHARSIN - Just as Daniel told the king that his country had been divided between the Persians and Medes, it is a little more than curious to note that the same thing is happening to the USA, even as this lesson and warning is being typed. Just as Babylon and the Chaldean Empire was divided between the Persians and Medes, the USA is, also, being divided in the same way. Persia is easily identified in modern times: it is the modern country of Iran. However, who are the Medes? Though some describe them as also Persians, Median territory, prior to their unification with the Persian Empire some time later, is situated around the present country of Afghanistan and Eastern Iran. Since taking office in January of this year, it is curious to note the growing interest that President Barack Hussein Obama has had with Afghanistan. Troop levels in Afghanistan have continued to grow ever since President Obama took office. Could it be that, with the growing nuclear threat from Iran and heavier and heavier US Involvement in Afghanistan, the US of A is being divided between the Medes and Persians, similar to Belshazzar’s ancient Chaldea? If troop levels continue to grow in Afghanistan, and Iran succeeds in creating a nuclear weapon, it could very well be that the USA is divided literally and figuratively between the Medes and Persians, just as the Chaldean Empire was nearly three thousand years ago.

The Bottom Line - Nuclear 9/11

Folks, it is this my belief that a nuclear strike will take place very soon in the USA. Much in the same way that the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 were, at first, thought to be accidents and were totally unconventional, I believe that a nuclear terrorist attack will also, at first, be viewed as an accident, and will take place in an unconventional manner. I believe that it will be in more than one city, and it will, for lack of a better word, finish the USA for good as a superpower. Many people may scoff at this, as scoffers have come and gone in the past. However, the bottom line here is that God is not limitless in his patience, and the United States of America has gotten away with moral depravity, abominable practices, and gross immorality for far too long. Greater societies have fallen for lesser offences towards God; what makes us, the USA, think that we are any different than they? Though many Americans claim to be Christians, it is shocking not to hear President Obama state that we are not a Christian Nation, but to know that such, in fact, is the truth! Christ has been dismissed from public school for nearly fifty years. The name of Jesus Christ has been mocked, taken in vain, and used as a curse in the media for nearly as long. Sin has been upheld by US Society as good and right since the 1960s. Yes, while we have a large percentage of the population claiming Christ, and while cities and towns and villages all across the land still have churches in them, the fact that we have slidden so far makes it a glaring truth when the President comes out and states it in public: we may claim Christ, but we are not actively living him out in our lives. As such, God will not hold out his hand of blessing for much longer. Nuclear 9-11 is coming, and I believe that it will be upon us very, very soon….perhaps, even, before President Obama is finished with his first term, and certainly before the end of his second should he be elected to one, especially if he makes FOCA and the rest of his agenda the law of the land.

Conclusion - Repent!

Jesus said it at the beginning of his ministry, as did John the Baptist. As they say so in the word, so I write it here: REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! If we as a nation turn from our wicked ways, God will avert the evil that he knows is coming and will allow if we fail to return to him. If we will turn back to him, and ask him for forgiveness, he will hold off execution of sentence and nuclear 9/11 for another day. However, if we persist in our spiritual and moral depravity, it will be upon us very soon. If we do not well, then, as God spoke to Cain, sin lies at our door, and -- just as it dominated us via nineteen men on September 11th, 2001 -- so it will be again, and likely by less. REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND!

Prayer - Lord in Heaven, help us we pray. Heavenly Father, we can easily see in your word that judgment and carrying out of divine sentence comes to those who reject you. Help us, Heavenly Father, as a nation, to heed your word, and come back to you. We pray this, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Verse to Remember:

“Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” --Matthew 4.17

From Truth To Lies, Freedom To Slavery

America continues her decent into mimicking the worst kinds of
governments of the past. Take your pick, the Nazi’s the old Soviet
Union, the Chinese Communists (under Mao). Each of these morally
and spiritually reprehensible systems required millions of deaths and
great swaths of innocent people to be murdered, gassed, shot,
disappeared, tortured, dissected, experimented upon and otherwise
killed with great skill and dispatch. The United States of America
today is playing with the same fires of evil that those in the past
played with… and lost. Most of their victims do not even have a grave
stone by which to remember them. They are buried (if they were not
incinerated… alive) in mass graves in China, Russia, Ukraine,
Germany, Poland.. or a dozen other places where men thought that
they could follow the proven patterns of building a tyranny but were
mistaken in thinking they they would succeed in the long run. It is
impossible. Even when God allows the final end time system its very
great authority, that system only lasts 42 months. There is a half life
for any system that relies upon deceit, terror and murder and it is not
a very long one.
While I took the week off from doing this site. I spent some time
resting, praying and reading. I read two books. One was a re-read and
the other was one I had not read before. The first was 12 Caesars, by
Suetonius and the second was The Children of Henry The VIII by
Alison Weir. I love history as it is far more rich and interesting than
anything Hollywood can think up with their artificial ‘tension’ and
formatted drama, repeated ad-nauseum. What they are doing is so
predictable in film that after 10 minutes you can usually figure out the
end. Today, a person who knows his history can understand the end
of our once great nation with the same accuracy. I read history to get
a glimpse of the future and get a grasp on where we have been. It is a
great indicator of where we are going. Those who do not read it are
like a man when asked how to get from DC to NY replies in abject
ignorance 'you can't get there from here'. Well, you can get from DC
to New York just as you can get from Freedom to Tryanny. To
understand the destination you have to be able to read the road signs.
Today the government is spying on Americans as never before.
Recent revelations that theFeds are in bed with all kinds of retailers
came to light recently.
Among the data in its archive, the NSAC (the FBI’s National
Security Branch Analysis Center (NSAC) houses more than
55,000 entries on customers of the Cendant Hotel chain, now
known as Wyndham Worldwide, which includes Ramada Inn,
Days Inn, Super 8, Howard Johnson and Hawthorn Suites. The
entries are for hotel customers whose names matched those on
a long list the FBI provided to the company.
Another 730 records come from the rental car company Avis,
which used to be owned by Cendant. Those records were
derived from a one-time search of Avis’s database against the
State Department’s old terrorist watch list. An additional 165
entries are credit card transaction histories from the Sears
department store chain. Like much of the data used by NSAC,
the records were likely retained at the conclusion of an
investigation, and added to NSAC for future data mining. -

This is happening now. There was and is no debate about it. You were
not informed. Many will jump on tyranny's bandwagon and claim this
is great and a good way to 'track terrorists'. But what is a terrorist?
You may have your definition, but the government has its own
definition. If you do not support the killing of a million Iraqi's,
shooting drones at women and children, torturing children well, you
mau not know it but you are probably a terrorist.
A Florida senator is demanding an investigation into a secret
Pentagon database that collects information on American
anti-war activists. As NBC News reported first on Dec. 13, the
Pentagon has been monitoring anti-war groups across
the country.
Wednesday, some members of a Florida anti-war group called
"The Truth Project" demanded that the Pentagon turn over all
information collected about their group. - MSNBC
Are anti-war protesters 'terrorists'? Are those who believe in peace
members of Al-Qaeda? No. But I will tell you what they are and why
so much effort is expended on people like this: They are a threat
to the hundreds of billions of dollar revenue stream that
go into defense contractors coffers. Our political appointees in
these jobs all have strong ties and long histories with corporate
America including the very lucrative defense industry. It does not
take any leap of imagination to understand that were these wars to
end, billions of dollars in revenue would dry up. Hence it is
imperative (in their minds) to remove the threat to this revenue
stream and the greatest threat today are anti-war activists. What we
are seeing is simply this – the militarization of the American
government and all the signs of a growing system of evil government
that the past bears clear and consistent witness to. As it is with the
government, so it is with the people. They like the Germans of Nazi
Germany, they got some prosperity from the devil and his system and
were not too concerned on how they got it, where it came from and if
a few Jews had to die to keep it flowing, well, they felt.. 'so much the
better!' Today it is Muslims, antiwar activists, bloggers and others
who are increasingly under the scrutiny of the truly evil entity that
has covertly taken over America. The people have their leased
Lexus'... they don't care, besides the Redskins game is on tonight.
When one questions how we got to this position and what justifies the
gutting of American law in order to give rise to the swastika in
America, ignorant apologists always point to 911, that
'transformational event' that brought us what can only be called the
Treason Act, which those who betrayed this nation gave the Orwellian
name, the 'Patriot Act'.
But who really blew up those towers? The truth is staring you in the
face. What the government said is a great lie. When the government
issued its 911 report, the ignorant masses believed what was in it.
They said, in their willful ignorance 'put the conspiracy theories to
rest, let's go back to the football game, Jim Beam and porn'. But the
very commissioners who compiled and administered the report have
repudiated it.
When 9/11 Commission Chief Counsel, John Farmer, released
his book, The Ground Truth, debunking his own 9/11
commission report and was supported by Chairman Thomas
Kean and commission member Senator Bob Kerrey with no
dissent, the cover story of 9/11 died.
This leaves us with these inescapable facts:
* We no longer have an official answer to questions
about 9/11.
* Perjured testimony and falsified information
given to the original commission is a criminal
act and demands a Grand Jury investigation and
Special Prosecutor.
* Hundreds of respected leaders of the military,
law enforcement, intelligence and scientific
communities question the credibility of an
investigation now proven beyond a doubt a conspiracy
in itself.
* The institutions of government, including all 3
branches, Executive, Judicial and Legislative have
combined in an unexplainable way in their failure to
respond to circumstances that legally require action.
* The press has continued a pattern of distortion of facts,
suppression of news and has engaged in a systematic
campaign of deception.
Years have passed and soon 10,000 Americans will have died.
Taking into account the epidemic of veterans suicides, we may
have already passed that figure now. The cascade of events,
financial collapse, government spying, oil price fixing, massive
military corruption and a dozen more issues as serious have
been able to move beyond our ability of everyday citizens to
influence.
In fact, the most corrupt and debased groups involved
in the 9/11 coverup are being actively recruited by the
press as a patriotic resistance. - Veteranstoday.com
The truth has become un-American. Peace and act of treason all the
while America's first (half) black President has shown a remarkable
love for the polices of George Bush and Dick Cheney.
The Obama administration reaffirmed its belief this week that
it has the power to indefinitely detain prisoners at
Guantanamo and said it would not reach out and ask
Congress to craft legislation to give them the authority.
Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said that when
Congress on Sept. 18, 2001 gave President George W. Bush the
authorization to use force against those behind the 9/11
attacks, lawmakers gave President Obama the power to
indefinitely detain prisoners captured in that effort. - ABC
The advertisement said 'change', the reality said, 'Black Bush', but I
am not going to bash either men too hard here. They are not
America's problem The real problems are two fold; the criminal
entities that now run America's institutions and the ignorance, apathy
and wickedness of the American people, including and especially
most nominal 'Christians'. You cannot have one without the other
and we have each in abundance; evil government and evil Americans.
The Bush's, Obama's, Clinton's and Cheney's of the world are men
sent for one express purpose by the God of all things - To give
America exactly what she is asking for. They want a nation that hates
God, murders people for money, lies incessantly, plans terrorist acts
against its own people and creates concentration camps right here on
American soil under our noses. This is what they want. Their cast
ballots bear witness to it.
Why can't people see what is happening? What is it that causes people
to remain in ignorance when stacks of Government documents,
executive orders, congressional testimony, government witnesses are
telling you what is happening and people still will not see? In the
future scientists and psychiatrists will probably give it a long name. I
will call it Cerebral Infantile Paralysis (CIP). The brain locks up and
behaves like a two year old and will not process anything that
threatens its comfortable existence in mommy's cute little pink and
blue crib. A child like trust comes over them in the two horned, cloven
hoofed monster that brings them their 'milk' and' toys' on schedule.
Somehow, emotionally they never got out of that crib.
Most Americas go through life like that only learning those essential
tasks in order to make a living. The American people are not very
smart and most Americans are really quite cowardly, I am 50 and
have lived in a few countries and visited many more, so I am not like
most of my countrymen. I say this as much about the people as our
leaders. They will start a war against the poor and defenseless, like
any schoolyard bully and are far, far too much of a coward to pick on
someone their own size. Americans will not look outside of the
narrow circle of equally afflicted 'adults' (I use the term loosely) with
CIP syndrome. Look at the numbers of people in their political
naiveté who were dumb enough to actually think the Corporate/
Banking/Pharmaceutical/Criminal establishment ruining this nation
were really going to finance a real black man who was going to bring
in real change? You had to have your brain set to permanent 'idle' to
believe that. But this describes the vast majority of voting Americans.
One must wonder if America isn't suffering from a severe epidemic
and outbreak of Mad Cow Syndrome that has been adeptly covered up
by the USDA. As you (should) know, Mad Cow actually eats and
destroys brain tissue. I say this only half in jest, because to explain
the ignorance of the people in purely psychological terms does not
seem to be sufficient from my perspective. Something biologically
detrimental appears to be happening to the American mind. I thank
God my job is not to convince people of what is happening and
what is coming. Mine is just to warn them, after that thankfully
(Hallelujah!!), my job is done, Mine is merely to bear witness so that
they will have no excuse.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five
brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come
into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They
have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he
said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from
the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they
hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be
persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
(Luk 16:27-31)
Convincing Americans is going to be an impossible task as we slide
deeper into tyranny and debauchery. Already people are taking to
mocking God and his witnesses.
As I said some months ago, you must, absolutely must change your
psychology if you want to survive what is coming in any (physical,
economic, or most importantly spiritual) form. Let me give you a
(poor) example.
The other day, I went to breakfast and they had a TV on where I was
eating. There were a couple of stories on the news that I could read
the captioning on. The first was one on a supposed hunt for terrorists
taking place last week. They had footage of FBI agents in some
building supposedly looking for 'suspicious' activity and or material.
Of course, no one has been caught and the details of this alleged plan
have been scant at best. I have not really looked too deeply into it for
a number of reasons, mostly because I was not spending much time
reading anything but the two books I was enjoying. But here is what
struck me as I watch the footage and the LORD said to me as I sat
watched, 'What else is going on now'? I was asked. The Lord was only
reminding me of what I already knew in the back of my mind but had
not brought up to front of my mind. What was and is going on at that
time and now? Key provisions of the Patriot act are now being
debated. Someone in the Senate wants to reign in the serious abuses.
As Congress begins to consider renewing sections of the USA
PATRIOT Act that are set to expire at the end of the year, we
have a unique opportunity to press Congress for new civil
liberties protections to shield ordinary Americans against
government spying.
Last week, ten US Senators introduced the perfect vehicle for
reform of the surveillance powers in the PATRIOT Act, as well
as the much broader and more dangerous FISA Amendments
Act (FAA), the warrantless surveillance law that was passed by
Congress last summer.
The new bill, called the JUSTICE Act, would add essential new
checks and balances to a broad range of surveillance powers. In
particular, it would reform the notorious National Security
Letter power that allows the FBI, without court supervision, to
secretly demand that companies hand over your private phone
and internet records.
Even more importantly, the JUSTICE Act would add strong new
privacy protections to the FAA, which vastly expanded the
government's authority to sweep up Americans' phone calls and
emails without probable cause or meaningful court review.
-EFF
We have seen this act before. When the first Patriot act was rammed
through the House it was only after terrorist attacks that specifically
targeted two Democratic members of the Senate who were debating
the bill occurred, Daschle and Leahy.
Two more anthrax letters, bearing the same Trenton
postmark, were dated October 9, three weeks after the first
mailing. The letters were addressed to two Democratic
Senators, Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Patrick Leahy of
Vermont. At the time, Daschle was the Senate Majority leader
and Leahy was head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The
Daschle letter was opened by an aide on October 15, and the
government mail service was shut down. The unopened Leahy
letter was discovered in an impounded mail bag on November
16. The Leahy letter had been misdirected to the State
Department mail annex in Sterling, Virginia, due to a misread
ZIP code; a postal worker there, David Hose, contracted
inhalational anthrax. - Wikipedia
It does not take a genius to figure out that these 'terrorist' plots and
rising threat levels are politically motivated. The former Head of the
Department Of Homeland Security told us as much.
Tom Ridge is opening up about his time as the nation's first
Secretary of Homeland Security during the Bush
Administration. He has a new book coming out in a few weeks,
and the details are starting to come out now.
The most striking claim is that Ridge says he was pressured by
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General
John Ashcroft to raise the security threat level on the eve of the
2004 election. - CBS
So if you think this terrorist plot was a real one and not manufactured
by those who brought America to where she is today and to keep the
Patriot act exactly and as unconstitutional as it is, you have
something new to think about. Me, I say the timing is extremely
suspicious and was totally predictable based on the pending bill in the
House and Senate. Sway them if you can and if that does not work,
threaten. The next step is a half a dozen or so 'brown envelopes' sent
to key members of the Senate and rest assured, if necessary, they will
be dispatched and be most effective. Watch for scandals in the House
and Senate effecting members who are predisposed to reign on the
powers of the Patriot act if they do not cooperate or blow-off these
naked attempts at blackmail.
So as I finished my breakfast and was getting ready to clean up my
mess, an ad for Lockeed Martin was on and they were touting their
record on ''Global Security”. I almost had an 'embarrassing incident'
and had to work to keep my food down. Why? Well let us take a look
at who helped create public opinion for the war on Iraq and their ties.
In the fall of 2002, the man who would become the John
McCain campaign's top foreign policy adviser was tasked with
a sensitive project at the behest of the White House. It began
when President Bush's then deputy national security adviser
Stephen Hadley asked neoconservative activist and Lockheed
Martin lobbyist Bruce Jackson to set up a committee that
could mobilize public opinion for war with Iraq.
"Jackson said he was happy to do this, but he didn't know
what the real motive for the war was about," says journalist
Aram Roston, who first told the story of the meeting in his
biography of Iraqi politician Ahmad Chalabi, The Man Who
Pushed America to War. "And Hadley didn't provide him that
much clarification." Nor, Jackson told Hadley, did he know
very much about the Middle East. - Mother Jones
___
Dozens of people converged this summer in the high desert
town of El Paso, Texas, en route to spending six months in
Iraqi prisons. They were going not as prisoners, but as their
interrogators, walking a legalistic tightrope stretched across
the Geneva Conventions. Just for signing up, they got a
$2,000 check from a company that is rapidly becoming one of
the key employers in the world of intelligence: Lockheed
Martin, the world's biggest military company, based in
Bethesda, Maryland.
Before deployment to Iraq, they assemble in Building 503 on
Pleasanton Road to mingle with the soldiers and government
civilian workers at the welcome briefing that takes place every
Sunday. There they get a government-issued duffel bag, filled
with basic items for working in the war in the Middle East:
cargo pants, tactical shirts, Kevlar helmets and Land Warrior
chemical masks. After a week of orientation and medical
processing, they fly to Tampa, Florida, and onto their final
work destinations -- Iraq's infamous prisons including Abu
Ghraib, Camp Cropper, a prison at Baghdad International
Airport, and Camp Whitehorse, near Nasariyah.
Known in the intelligence community as "97 Echoes" (97E is
the official classification number for the interrogator course
taught at military colleges including Fort Huachuca, Arizona),
these contractors will work side-by-side with military
interrogators conducting question-and-answer sessions using
17 officially sanctioned techniques, ranging from "love of
comrades" to "fear up harsh." Their subjects will be the tens of
thousands of men thrown into United States-run military jails
on suspicion of links to terrorism. - Common Dreams
Needless to say, I was not impressed. But something else struck me as
I watched the few stories that were on the nice TV's and flat panels
(they had both) in this large facility... , that being the fact that nothing
that was presented as 'news' was really true. It was only a very small
fraction of the picture that was deliberately presented to give a false
impression of events happening in our nation. In short it was Pravda
and Goebbels all over again with more flash and pizazz a with pretty
blonde face and a sleek ad. And the news industry wonders why their
revenue is falling off and newspapers are closing around the nation. I
will tell you, people are not going to be paid to be lied to. They may
not do anything to stop being lied to, buy shelling out real money for
trash is not something they are going to do for very long. With Cable
News, they can survive for a while but even that model is rapidly
changing and in probably less than 10 years, will be 'old tech' and
IPTV, Internet TV (which is why the net neutrality debate is far more
important than just about anyone really understands) and other
forms of media distribution make their way into homes. Lies are not
going to be able to sustain the attack coming upon it in many ways.
But today there is a growing concern in government circles that
drastic measures will have to be taken on Americans. Our fiscal
situation is terminal. Let no one tell you otherwise. We have not
solved out financial crisis, we have only shifted it from the banks onto
the government and it now is so deep in red ink that we are having
real difficulty in financing our debts and are on a course that is
without any doubt unsustainable.
The United States government is borrowing money like never
before. The national debt rose by more than a third over a oneyear
period, far more than it ever did at any time since World
War II.
In the past, when the government became a heavy borrower,
there was talk about crowding out private borrowers. But this
time, interest rates have remained low and no one seems to be
worried about that.
The reason is simple: Rather than crowding out the private
sector, Uncle Sam is now standing in for it. Much of the
government borrowing went to investments in financial
institutions needed to keep them alive. Other hundreds of
billions went to a variety of programs aimed at stimulating
the private economy, including programs that effectively had
the government pick up part of the cost for some home buyers
and some auto buyers. - NYT
___
America, on the other hand, has a huge trade deficit.
Attempting to reverse this is essentially impossible as we have
offshored production to low-labor-cost locales such as
Vietnam and China. We are also absolutely dependent on
foreign energy sources and despite 30 years of political
promises to resolve that problem we have refused to take the
steps necessary to do so, including funding massive nuclear
energy development and drilling for all of our currentlyknown
resources as a bridge while those nuclear plants are
brought online. There is and has been zero political or public
will behind accepting that resolving these problems does not
lie in "pie in the sky" battery, solar and wind technologies, but
rather through aquaculture-produced bioldiesel, massive
nuclear power development and full exploitation of our
existing fossil-fuel stores, all of which will cause energy costs
to rise and exact what amounts to a tax on the American
people. In short we demand not only cheap TVs from China
and cheap blue jeans from Vietnam but cheap gasoline from
Saudi Arabia, and combined this makes addressing trade
imbalance politically impossible.
Depreciating our currency makes internationally-represented
firms such as Caterpillar happy, but this is a short-term
phenomena, as competing producers in China can (and will!)
over time cannibalize their sales into that market since their
labor costs are so low.
We simply cannot afford to allow a self-reinforcing cycle to
become established with dollar-funded carry trades. There is
a line beyond which the depreciation in the dollar causes such
a trade to become self-reinforcing and extraordinarily
destructive. Exactly where that line happens to be is difficult
to determine but that a profit/reinvestment cycle "kneepoint"
exists is axiomatic. - Market-Ticker
We are heading for national bankruptcy full steam ahead and with it a
state of emergency (martial Law) when the ATM'S stop working, the
gas stations are out of gas or if they have it, it is $15-20 a gallon, you
can't heat your home and and the trash keeps piling up on the streets
because the Trash man hasn't been paid for weeks.
Sure, you can laugh and say it isn't going to happen, bury your head
in the sand and put your fingers in your ears like a three year old who
doesn't want to hear it is time for bed. Or you can internalize
this. Unsustainable means just that. We are on our way to a disaster
that is man made but God appointed. There is no temporal escape for
this. Satan has closed up all the escape hatches and is preparing his
army for a great slaughter of America and Americans. This is God
appointed but will only be carried out when God gives his divine go
ahead. This nation will receive double for her sins, which have
reached to heaven.
For the very, very few real Christians inside modern Babylon we must
remember in whom we trust and know that he will not forsake us in
this hour.
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in
man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth
from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the
parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not
inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD,
and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted
by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be
green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit. The heart is deceitful
above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I
the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his ways, and according to the
fruit of his doings. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and
hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by
right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his
end shall be a fool. A glorious high throne from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary. O LORD, the hope of Israel, all
that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart
from me shall be written in the earth, because they have
forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. Heal me, O
LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved:
for thou art my praise. Behold, they say unto me, Where is
the word of the LORD? let it come now. As for me, I have not
hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I
desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out
of my lips was right before thee. Be not a terror unto me:
thou art my hope in the day of evil.
(Jer 17:5-17)
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that
suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of
their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
(1Pe 4:18-19)
Bretheren, stay the course, let not liars and false prophets tell you the
hour is not late and that deceit is not rampant in American society
and in the churches most of all. Stay the course, stand firm and fret
not thyself because of evildoers. God has a plan for them too.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there
was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the
dead were judged out of those things which were written in
the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the
dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works. And death and hell were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life was cast into the
lake of fire.
(Rev 20:11-15)
Every soul will give account and pay for the deeds done in the body.
Amen.
