Tea Party Did Not Spit On Democrat - Infowars
Is there a reason for this? Of course. It was a propaganda stunt designed by Democrats. They were well aware of the people gathered outside upset over Obama’s totalitarian care. The imagery was nearly perfect for their purposes — a crowd of howling mostly white people confronting a small number of black people. It would reaffirm what Chris Matthews and other corporate media apologists for state power have said for months — opposition to Obamacare (or anything the government does) is racist. The complaisant corporate media inserted the accusation of racism in the argument at exactly the right time. It was all part of a well orchestrated plan. (end excerpt)

Don't take the bait on all the propaganda on the tea partiers being racist. It just isn't so. There are just as many racists in the Democratic party as there are in the Tea party movement, though some virulent racists may be paid to join so that links can be 'discovered' and the movement discredited and then neutralized. The more and more the Corporate moguls who run these massive Mainstream media organizations use their enormous power to call them racists, the less and less I am inclined to believe that they are. The more of these stage managed PR events to try and make them look like racists and 'crazies' I see, the more I realize that they may represent something more than the two party system has to offer and begin understand why some powerful (and evil) folks have decided to start funding them (unbeknonwst to the ordinary folks who are part of this movement).

In short the more I hear CNN try to make them out to be racists, the more I realize somebody powerful who has been swindling this nation out of trillions does not like these people and is determined to destroy them.

In short, the elite are now playing the 'race card'.

I am not a Tea Party member, nor will likely be one. But I think their activism good and needed, even if I do not agree with some of their stances. They may not be the best informed or even the most intelligent people and probably do have some bad elements in them, but they know something is rotten in American and that sitting around moaning about it isn't going to change things for the better. But if you really want to see some 'bad elements', pull back the curtain on the GOP and Democratic parties. You will find drug dealers, money launderers, old-line Nazi's, neo-Nazi's Klansmen, pedophiles, human traffickers you name the crime and you will find them in these crime controlled parties. Yet the mainstream media will never, ever talk about it. At least the Tea Partiers are protesting what is going on and not sitting on their backsides while our leaders literally bankrupt our nation. What is so ironic about this whole thing is that the people who are going to get hurt the most by this Health Care bill (which was being protested against in the above Video), and I do mean very, very hard are lower class working Americans, who will be forced to buy health care they cannot afford or pay a very large fine. Who makes up a large portion of that population? Blacks and Latino's!! They are the ones who should be out there protesting but instead do nothing. To me, the degree of mind manipulation is amazing. It really, really is. They simply do not know that this is going to send thousands of them, probably millions into poverty and force them to make some very tough financial choices... like do I buy food or heat my home or put gas in the car?

This is not hyperbole, it is not a joke and it is going to hurt just those groups in 2014. What groups? Those who are just barely hanging on, black and white.

Think about how you would live making 37,000 a year (in major city), pay rent, buy food, buy gas, pay utilities, feed a kid after the feds and the state take out their taxes? Think about that hard because many of you are soon going to be in that boat if you are lucky enough to get a job paying 37,000 a year.

It is so sad to see folks get caught up in all the propaganda and Black Americans falling for these Democrats and cannot see these them for what they really are.

The Problem is the Democrats have been bought out by the Corporations, just like the GOP has and party elders who go and have a drink or go to a party with these multi-millionaire/billionaire business leaders arrange these propaganda stunts. Now the corporate billionaires plan on using the same tools they used against the protestors of the WTO, GATT G20 summits, who is that? The anarchists, who are nothing more that a corporate rent a mob designed to provoke violence at peaceful rallies. They are rarely arrested for their acts of violence and when they are, are never charged. Too often we find that the 'anarchists' are really undercover cops!

Follks, I am trying to school you here. I really am... as to what is really happening. Not your usual run of the mill conspiracy junk, but the real deal and how these guys manipulate people using these stunts to EMOTION-alize issues and get people hot and angry so that they turn off their brains and start ranting with their emotions.

It works and is a tried and true method of controlling ignorant (I hate to use that term, but it fits) mobs.

Ignorance knows no political boundaries and the kind of political ignorance I see is a thoroughly American phenomenon. There are not many who are really ready to get rid of their pet political delusions and stop back and look behind the stage managed show that is designed to provoke an emotional, rather than an intelligent response. It takes an emotional and intellectual maturity that I am sorry to say, most of my countrymen do not possess and I am here to tell you it is why our country is going to go down the tubes in very short order.

Yesterday I posed some stuff on Oil. Pay attention and don't be distracted by posts in other forums that are purportedly from some 'insider scoop' that is designed to lead you away from what I told you. These guys don't know didley and are listening to 'sources' who know even less, or worse are part of a government infiltration/disinformation program. I probably said just a little more than I should have yesterday on Oil but you need to be aware of what I was telling you. So if you missed it, Go back and read it because once you understand it, the next two and half years of this administration are going to make a lot more sense. Their goal? Make hundreds of billions of dollars and make absolutely certain a Black man never rises to the Presidency again...ever.

Also, do not let racists in these 'christian' sites and blogs (who never liked Obama for the simple fact he was Black) mislead you. Many of them are hooked in with some very evil people and most do not even know it. Obama is not your problem. He is to be pitied, not hated. He sold his soul for a mess of Presidential pottage, just like Easau.

It is the system and these pseudo christian-stooges, whether they realize it or not, who are part of the systemic problem in America. Why? Because all to often the only thing they really have to offer is hatred and lies and these traits are 100% accurate identifiers of the evil one.

They are blind, leading America into the pit with lies, half truths, more lies wrapped around some misquoted verses of scripture.

Nevertheless I do not want to minimize the threat of violence by real far right extremists as well as far left extremists (like the Anarchists) pose. The threat is real and cannot be ignored. I know where some of these groups are getting their money and it really has me awake some nights and if you knew, you would too. Especially... if you are not blonde hair and blue eyed.

I see a lot of trouble ahead for America. The Tea party is a natural outgrowth and result of the extremist violence (think one million dead Iraqi's, 3 million refugees, countless thousands dead Afghans and Pakistani's... mostly civilians) and crime-of-the-century thefts that our government has been engaging in for decades. Sooner or later, people were going to get mad and that time has arrived. The sad part is, some really evil folks will use some of these groups for their purposes which mostly is to discredit any alternative to the two party money criminal enterprise.

Churchianity has Failed

Churchianity has Failed!

http://www.the-tribulation-network.com/new_tribnet/ebooks/last_days_church/ch13-churchianity_has_failed.html

By Dene McGriff

Deception is the rule in the last days. Anyone who stays in the institutional church stays at their own peril. The Western church is compromised beyond recognition. The time has come to get out and get real.

The organized church has failed! It is dead! It does not resemble in the slightest the corporate body life and living community of believers seen in the Book of Acts. I have been repeating this for I don’t know how many decades. If I hadn’t experienced a non-institutional, free flowing church life years ago I would totally despair, but I know it is possible because I experienced it over a ten year period. We had large meeting and small. Every member participated. Leadership was there just to keep it on track. You truly appreciated the portion each member had to contribute.

I spent the last forty years trying to find it again and have become more and more convinced that the thing we pass as “church” today would not be recognized by Jesus Christ. We tried meeting in homes, halls and store fronts and never came close. The idea of “body life” is completely foreign to Christians today. They are too caught up in the performance and the “message” to realize that the body life is where all have fresh, living experience of the Lord in their lives and something to share as a result.

The Jesus Movement churches began as a protest against the established church which had become irrelevant. But gradually the movement lost its fire and participatory nature and became institutionalized – lifeless – as signs and wonder seeking Vineyards or music and teaching-driven Calvary Chapels, or purpose-driven modern marketing and entertainment marvels passed as “centers of worship.” We’ve gone from seeking to emergent, from Christian to post-Christian, from organic to organized. The church remains nothing more than an empty shell. Outwardly, it appears alive, singing, engaged and happy, but inside “Christian” robots go through the same motions week after week, the same greetings, same songs, same sermons, same, same, same…. are pagans getting saved, or is it all just “transfer growth” … believers going from church to church, ever seeking or “ever shopping” but never coming into the reality of real church life, real community.

I am not saying that there aren’t some born-again believers in those sterile buildings with a little spark of life in them. I’m not saying that God isn’t working in His people, but I am saying the average saint is on life support. The pastor is exhausted as he tries to give spiritual CPR to his congregation week after week. The worship group tries to lift the peoples’ spirits but for those who have been through it for decade after decade you realize the monotony of it all. Many “Christians” live in lonely quiet desperation with little joy in their lives and little relationship with the Lord or with their brothers and sisters in Christ other than their weekly worship gathering called “church.” Church growth and its movements are a hoax!

Do you think Jesus is pleased with our churches? Does He appreciate the sermon? The worship team? The programs? Or is He having a Laodicean moment wanting to vomit up a bunch of lukewarm people who come to listen to the same old messages once a week so they can hurry back to their real life of work, soccer and TV?

ONLY TWO TYPES OF CHRISTIANS

When it comes to the “end times” there are two types of Christians: Fallen (apostate) Christians who once had a relationship with the Lord but lost it along the way and real Christians who are not invested in the world, religion or churchianty but in the Lord and in living communities of believers. There is the self-absorbed, spiritually stunted, apostate Christian who will be a persecutor of the true church and there is the persecuted – those who stand against the tide and in the simplicity of total commitment to Jesus and one another.

We talk about the glorious church, the bride prepared for the bridegroom. We talk about those people so in love with the Lord that they are willing to lay down their lives for Him and for one another in the face of the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen. Matthew 24:9, 21 describes it:

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake…For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

So who will the good “church going” Christians be? The ones being delivered up or the ones delivering those who have rejected “churchianity”? Where is the Christian who “overcomes by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony and loves not his life unto death?” (Revelation 12:11) Where is the saint who is willing to lose all, including his life for the Lord who gave them His? For every one of those, I’ll show you 99 who are anticipating the rapture – the great escape.

So where is the real church? Probably in Asia or Africa where persecution of Christians is common. But here in “mega-church land” in the good old USA, the “church” is totally accepted by society, culture and politics except for the “radical” fundamental fringe (pro-family, pro-life, etc.). The radical fundamentalist element is less concerned with spiritual things and more concerned with changing society back to the way it was. They see political involvement as the way to do that. The Western Church has a stake in the world and world improvement like never before. They see schools falling apart, liberals taking control of the economy, health care and everything else. They see the moral slide and want to turn the clock back. There is a clash between the hardcore religionist and the liberal but does that have anything to do with the real church or eternity?

THE WESTERN CHURCH

Today’s church is less concerned with the gospel than with keeping hearth and home together, having a lot of church activities and programs. I recently was at a mega church in Southern California and couldn’t believe the activities – several every single night of the week for every age and interest group. The church campus is like a small town with people bustling all over the place. It is near military bases so they were big on the American flag and honoring veterans. This is not to say that these aren’t wonderful people but their commitment is passive – sitting and enjoying the worship group, the sermon, the programs, etc. just as in most churches in America.

I must give it credit for one thing. I heard two messages on end times’ prophecy which is very unusual, but the keystone of it all was the pre-tribulation rapture or what I call the “great escape.” The pastor’s proofs were flimsy at best – I’m not going into that issue here because we have covered it extensively elsewhere. Their glorious hope was not to stand and testify but to escape and return with the Lord at the end of the tribulation – that way, they stay utterly invested in the things of this life, a sort of having your cake and eating it too mindset. Not only is the pastor giving people a false hope but a false teaching as well.

The idea that the Lord can’t allow the church to suffer (mistakenly, they mix God’s wrath with the tribulation period known as Daniel’s 70th Week) is not only cowardly, but an affront to all the martyrs gone before and those who consider it an honor to give their life for Him. Tell me, what gives them the “privilege” to “reign with Him” when they have not “suffered with Him?” Outside of the Western Church and its missionary influences (especially, evangelical ones) a pre-tribulational rapture of the Church is almost non-existent – especially in China and among suffering and impoverished believers!

As I said, we have dealt with the pre-trib rapture issue extensively but the fact that the Laodicean lukewarm church of the western world has come up with such an escapist rationalization is a travesty and shame to all who name the name of Jesus. It is emblematic of the worldly, lukewarm, compromised church of today. The idea that “tribulation saints” (those who get “saved” after the rapture of Christians) will become a prevailing witness (along with 144,000 Jewish evangelists that somehow bring them to Messiah) goes against the very nature of God’s work in us. The transforming, growing and maturing process takes time and the labor of each person in his own relationship with the Lord. The building up of the saints together takes time as well.

If God during the coming of Jesus was able to transition His work between “two peoples” (Jew and Gentile) at the beginning of the Church Age, then surely He can work with two peoples at the close of the Church Age – and in point of fact He has by regathering unbelieving Israel (the “Valley of Dry Bones”) since the birth of Zionism until now and the Church is still here! The Church is chosen as a witness to “principalities and powers in high places” – Israel has been regathered to be a witness to “gentile world powers” – the one, to the “heavens” and the other “to the earth” and both to the glory of God. The theological fact that God is working with two peoples at the same time baffles the hard-line dispensationalist, but liberates the Church to wholly participate in the greatest harvest the world has ever witnessed, while the full preparation of Israel awaits her Messiah.

What God wants and needs in the last days is a people who know Him, who express His life and love to the world through a family of believers. This can’t be organized, jammed into programs, or made pretty with music and fancy sermons. God is either real to these people or He isn’t and you can’t fake it! You can’t be a testimony of the life of Christ working in you and be compromised with the world.

The Western Church is fake, empty and dead (not to denigrate God’s work in some people) because the “Church” I speak of is nothing more than a meeting centered on music and a sermon, and its “community” is measured by the number of programs and activities offered. This is in sharp contrast to what the church should be – every believer with a living relationship with Jesus, an out-flowing of gifts and ministry, each member functioning, each living and active. There is no one-man show, no sermon, no order of worship and no musical performance. There are only the saints interacting with one another as directed and led by the Holy Spirit, sharing the gospel as a community in real love. Jesus is coming back for His Body, not just a mouth or vocal chords. He wants a living corporate entity where every member supplies life to the other. (Ephesians 4:16)

I don’t care how good the sermon is, how eloquent the speaker, how touching his stories, how persuasive he may be – the sermon has become an abomination to the body of Christ. It supplants the life and responsibility of each saint to minister to the Lord and one another. Spontaneous music can release the saints in worship, but moving from one highly choreographed and well played musical number is 90 percent performance. A meeting under the Holy Spirit’s leading is not planned and rehearsed the previous week. All the saints should be free to participate at any moment. I deal with the meeting in the latter chapters of Recognizing Apostasy and Deception. I am not talking about a home meeting per se – what I am talking about is a community of believers whose love and commitment to one another and to sharing His gospel is a “way of life” – not a performance!

Most churches exist for their members. There is really no outreach, no new people coming in, maybe some “sheep stealing” – members being ripped off from other churches – trading places but little net growth. Then there are some churches that are totally committed to new growth as if the only purpose for the church were evangelism (not many, trust me). Churches are something people go to, but not what they are. People are so spread out, it is impossible to go door to door fellowshipping. Instead, you drive suburb to suburb and meet in a “church” building.

Somewhere in this whole mess, we miss the purpose of the church – a people called out of the world to be holy to the Lord. The gospel is only one aspect of it, but the growth of each member and the corporate testimony to the world is what God really wants. When saints are together, they express the life and love of the Lord to the world which is drawn by what they see—not just what they hear from a single preacher. (Colossians 3:15-17). Please read Ephesians 2-4 and you will see that God doesn’t want a few spiritual giants but a corporate body (Eph. 3:8-10) that is full of the unsearchable riches of Christ and is a testimony not only to the world but the heavenly principalities and powers. God’s eternal purpose is not just the gospel but a living testimony of His transforming life in people. The true gospel of Jesus Christ results in a dynamic and living relationship we call the Body of Christ. Both go hand-in-hand, incessantly and in full cooperation with the goal of the gospel the Bride and Body of Christ.

Where did we get this notion that the “blessed hope” and the “glorious coming of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” is somehow rephrased into the “glorious cop out?” I’m looking at the “signs of the time” and Antichrist’s presence on the world scene is surely one of them – but then our critics go on to say that we’re, therefore, looking for the coming of Antichrist and not Jesus Christ? That’s utterly ludicrous – Jesus warned us that “many antichrists” and “false prophets” would abound and the “love of many would grow cold” – THEN shall the end come (Matthew 24). Was Christ telling folks to look for antichrists and not His Second Coming? Nonsense! Jesus surely was warning us – and telling us that there would be great tribulation, along with brother betraying brother, and even “doctrines of demons” and a whole bunch of negativity, etc., as I said at the beginning of this article. Brethren, don’t take away my Blessed Hope – and that Blessed Hope (the only thing positively going on around here) has nothing to do with a secret cop out – it has everything to do with Jesus Christ Himself and being a vibrant Spirit-filled and energized Church of the Last Days awaiting her Lord!

ESCAPE OR TESTIFY?

Dispensationalists say that in the last days the church is raptured at the beginning of the tribulation and now the job of evangelism (as if that is all there was to God’s plan) falls on those Jews who are left behind who get saved and empowered (somehow – now that the Church and apparently the Holy Spirit is gone). They finish the job in 7 years – a time frame the church failed to do in 2,000 years! What is wrong with that picture? God has never forsaken His physical people, the Jews, and His covenant with them is eternal. But by removing the Church, he has removed His spiritual testimony from the earth. This just doesn’t make biblical sense on several levels.

1. Redemption is instant but salvation is a life process. It seems very unlikely that a brand new Christian would have the maturity and growth in life to handle the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen.

2. Isn’t a new Christian after the rapture still part of the “church?” And if the church shouldn’t be allowed to suffer why not zap them out as soon as they are saved? Partial rapture would make the church at a pre-trib rapture in the heavens and then the rest of the one Body, the church, still here on the planet – Jesus is not a polygamist!

3. What is so special about me that I may have gotten saved the day before the rapture? I go and my best friend doesn’t because he waited a day?

4. Please see the first three chapters in the book “In Search of Mystery Babylon.” The timing is clear and straightforward. The rapture occurs at the end of the tribulation and before the judgments (or see Doug Krieger’s Israel’s Prophetic Witness and Jesus Christ Does the Work of Antichrist?).

5. Also – “If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him” (II Timothy 2:12) (The Suffering Church – Please Link)

So where am I going with this? I’m not going to go into all of the statistics about the moral failure, rates of crime, divorce, child abuse, etc., in the church versus society as a whole. I’m just saying that we are the most compromised, distracted generation ever to inhabit the earth. We carry around a computer in our pocket more powerful than we could have even imagined 10 or 20 years ago. We can talk to anyone anywhere in the world, access data, movies, songs, TV programs, games and twitter and tweet our lives away.

Meanwhile, we are about as aware of the moral decline in our society as the frog in a heating pot of water. But the slide is inexorable. Churches are dumbing down, becoming irrelevant, making “the gospel” attractive to everyone, entertaining all. There is only one thing that will shake Christians out of their lethargy and lukewarmness and that is a good dose of tribulation. Most will be deceived and go along with the flow, along with the most deceptive and lying government the world has ever seen – where black is white and white is black, where fear is hyped up so people will bow to ever increasing control, eventually rounding up all dissenters in the name of God and country.

Listen up – when health care is nationalized – we’ll be talking in America how in the past two years 50% of our entire economy has been taken over by Big Brother – and you voted for it!! (The Critical Unraveling of US Society).

The economy will melt down. The dollar will become worthless. People will be forced together – four families in a four bedroom house. They will pool their resources. There will be few jobs. Energy prices will sky rocket and cars will sit and rust. Transport will break down. Store shelves will be empty. There will be riots, disease, famine and martial law. Call me an alarmist? Tell that to the 25 million Americans out of work!

Out of this caldron of chaos will emerge a people who are not daunted by the hardship, not dismayed, not shaken but a hopeful, loving people who will pour out what they have to help others. Their lives, their attitudes and their strengths will draw people in. Why are you so different, they will ask? Because we know Jesus. We have hope. He is coming back soon. No matter how bad things seem, He is Lord and He is in control. People will marvel at these little communities of believers. If you make it out “ahead of time” – then praise God, make room for the host who will finally get fed up with the traditional baloney we call Churchianity today!

The religious establishment will be greatly offended by these so-called Christians who seem to answer to none who neither support nor fight the powerful government they support. And eventually, they will become so enraged they will come for them and deliver them up for judgment and throw them in prison. Many of the people watching this will wonder why these people are going without a fight, as they are led like lambs to the slaughter and they will learn of their hope, and their strength – Jesus, the one about to return.

Christians in China, the Middle East, India, Pakistan and throughout Africa are already paying the ultimate price. The Western Church is so accepted and ingrained in the culture and politics, those who remain within will become a part of the great deception. The apostate church will turn against those who abandon the old wineskin which demands their allegiance, support for the one world government, the new morality and all.

Hitler did not come to power as a sinner but as a saint, on a strong moral platform with the full support of the organized churches. He was against the loose living, the Cabaret Society, the immorality of the ‘20s. The Antichrist will not be new age, and immoral as many expect but he will have the full support of the organized church (Revelation 17 – The Woman Riding the Beast – see: Recognizing Apostasy). He will also support Israel. Only at the midpoint of the Tribulation, does the Antichrist turn against Israel and the church.

DOES IT MATTER?

In this new era of liberality where we are afraid to offend anyone, we tend to let doctrinal issues slide. We separate issues that are essential and those that are non-essential to the faith. So let’s consider your end times’ view. Does it really matter when the rapture occurs? Does it matter what nation is prophetic Babylon, who the antichrist is, etc.? In terms of your eternal salvation, it has nothing to do with it. But, if we are in the last days, and I believe we are, your view of the end times will determine what you do or don’t do. What you believe, what you have been taught and hold dear determines how you will act and whether or not you will be deceived. The Christian expecting to rapture before the tribulation, who believes the US will decline so the antichrist can arise from somewhere else in the world, who thinks America is a “true” friend of Israel, who thinks America stands for truth and justice and is chosen to be a light on the hill – these people could well find themselves on the wrong side when the time comes.

If we feel that it doesn’t matter and that God will sort it all out, we will find ourselves influenced by those around us and slowly brain washed to the traditional way of thinking. Believe me, it is not easy to take the stand we do. We are often met with unbelief, derision and contempt. Do you think most Christians will readily accept the fact that they are not the on fire Christian they think they are but worldly lukewarm and babies still on milk? Do you think they will easily abandon the safe teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture? Do you think they could ever consider that America may not be that friend of Israel, that savior nation bringing peace to the world?

You may say, “All my best friends are pre-trib.” That doesn’t mean you have to leave them, but you do need to understand the importance of truth versus relationships. It is no accident that Jesus said, “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” (Luke 14:33) Unfortunately, relationships are a powerful force, especially in this society it is very easy to let a relationship trump truth. See Matthew 10:34-36 and it explains the severity of the problem. God has given us His prophetic word to warn us. Do we really expect many to heed His warning?

Christians expect to rapture, to see the Antichrist come out of Europe or the Middle East, to be a New Age Universalist. Yet, he looks and sounds like a Christian. Only then can he deceive Christians. Whoops, and you say Christians can’t be deceived – that’s deception in and of itself! We have dealt with these subjects over and over again proving from the Word that the Antichrist comes from the greatest apostate “Christian”, economic/consuming nation, the number one military power and friend of Israel. That only describes one nation. The key feature of the last days is deception.

If Christians stay in the old wineskin (the established church) they will be deceived. They will slowly but surely be influenced by it. If a person listens to the institutional church teachings week after week, year after year, they will believe them and have their minds enlightened by the truth. Few listen to our arguments. They are brain washed – gleefully and unconsciously so! They blindly trust their leadership and their experts.

It has been said that “people don’t change institutions but institutions change people.” Once introduced to an idea people don’t easily change their minds and hearts. Once taught, especially by “Christian” leaders they trust and respect, they seldom change. After 15 years I have had many people write in and no one has ever said, “thanks for something new. I never saw that before.” Instead they all say our writings confirmed what the Lord was already showing them. It takes a revelation to understand salvation, to know Jesus, to understand the Bible and prophecy. Scripture is inspired and it takes inspiration to understand it. Instead of taking a fresh look at prophecy in the light of the times, the same old teachings are passed on from generation to generation without much question.

Ninety five percent of prophetic teaching today is pure deception. The old wineskin of the clergy/laity, the worship group performance, the sermon and all the programs in the world, will never produce a mature, interconnected living body of believers but babies dependent on their weekly pabulum. Knowing one another “after the Spirit” and not “after the flesh” is so refreshing – man, it’s the Body of Christ in action, not dead religion.

If you think this is a harsh word, it is not mine. The Scriptures tell us time and again that the apostate church will turn on real believers and deliver them up. The reason it is so important to get out now is that people who stay in an institution become institutionalized – totally devoted to that institution and what it represents. Anyone who reads the Bible can see that this will be the greatest deception ever but they expect it to be easy to detect. If it were easy, it wouldn’t be a great deception. If it were some “New Age”, Hindu, Buddhist new world religion, no problem – easy to see, so why worry? But few are expecting the fallen lukewarm, rich and worldly church to be the problem.

If you leave Churchianity, the Holy Spirit will open all kinds of doors for you to share Jesus, to meet people of like passion and liberation – you might meet them on face book, around the office, at school, at some function…just open up your heart, your eyes – begin to speak and to share your convictions . . . and pray, pray, pray. Yes, some will shy away, some will even be downright negative and mad at you – but eventually you’ll discover, there’s a whole new world out there full of seeking believer and non-believer and you’ll find a way to come together to share your experiences of Jesus and the real gospel of the grace of God!

Who rejected Jesus the first time around? The religious leaders of established religion. Who will reject Him and fight Him the second time around? His own established religion – a dead, lifeless form that is a man-made counterfeit passing itself off as the real thing. Stay in the institutional church at your own peril. This is not to say that there aren’t some wonderful brothers and sisters in it, but the thing that holds Christians back from following Him is relationships. We compromise because of relationships. We need to lay aside the sins that so easily beset us, the relationships that compromise us and follow Him outside the camp (Hebrews 13:13) where we will find a fresh relationship with the Lord and a committed community of believers willing to stand and testify in the last days.

The Greatest Deception!

"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

Genesis 3:4-5
"But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."

John 5:42-43
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Revelation 12:7-9
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will once again examine the sad but true condition of our nation and the world. We will use the Word of God, which will reveal the spirits that are at work behind the current events as the world races to accept a grand deception and to believe a lie. We know that the purpose of Satan is to unite the entire world under the authority of a totalitarian dictator that the Bible calls the man of sin or son of perdition. Satan knows that the only way this can happen is through a grand deception. The man of sin must appear as a godlike answer man who will bring change to our troubled earth. Only the true and discerning Christians will see him for what he really is. The unregenerate and impenitent wicked people that fill the earth will never understand until it is too late.

The greatest deception began back in the Garden of Eden long ago, and Satan has been building on that deception ever since. Satan's false promise to Eve was that she could have it both ways. She could be both good and evil simultaneously according to the great deceiver. That lie is the premise of every form of occultism. We are supposed to believe there are good witches and bad witches, two sides of the "force," and so on. Our Saviour declared that when He came in his Father's name, He was not received. He went on to say that if another would come in his own name, he would be received. This is a prophecy about the forthcoming Antichrist!

Our current President is a man who embraces all religions, and while trying to appear to be good, he continually embraces evil. Here let it be noted that I have been heavily criticized by mainstream "Christians" for exposing Obama for what he really is and for saying that he is not an American and that he holds the office of the President of the United States illegally. I have been told that I should be praying for him. I many times will pray the Psalms when I pray. There are some Psalms where you can actually pray the verses. Let the record show that I do pray Psalm 109:8 for Obama, which reads as follows: "Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Have Americans forgotten that they have a right to redress and criticize a faulty government? If that is not the case, America has no right to exist because our founding fathers rebelled against the King of England. It is not only our right but also our duty to speak out and declare the truth!

The situation is critical at this time, and every indicator points to the fact that this present world is coming to an end. The Bible is proven true by the events of each day, and the vast majority of the people are completely oblivious to it. Very soon time will end and give way to eternity. Where will you be and what will you be doing when that last trumpet of God sounds? Are you ready to meet the Saviour? You can be at peace with Him right now by repenting and yielding your heart, soul, and mind to Him. He will receive and accept you. Do it now, before it is too late. If you contact us, we will help you to obey the entire Gospel. The Lord Jesus Christ will hear the simplest prayer if it is truly from the heart.

Leadership From Hell!

Governance in the United States is not what it once was. While it is true that there was trouble from the beginning, there was a time when character and honor were of primary importance. There was a time when the government listened to the voice of the people. After years of slowly and subtly brainwashing the people, dismantling their thinking apparatus, and desecrating the standards of morality, the conspirators in high places are now ready to move beyond socialism to totalitarianism. In fact, the entire world is being made ready to accept a one-world dictatorship.

On February 13th, 2010, the White House announced a new strategy against the people of the United States. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel arrogantly stated the following: "We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues." (1) Anyone who has ever seen the complete list of existing executive orders, which are only to be used in a time of dire emergency, would quickly realize that they collectively constitute a dictatorship. We are living in Orwellian times!

Who is this strange man who occupies the White House and embraces every religion? Why did Obama hold a secret meeting with the Buddhist icon, the Dalai Lama, in the map room of the White House on February 18th, 2010? (2) Why were no reporters allowed, and why was the content of the meeting kept a secret? We must remember that the objective of the Antichrist is not only to have a one world government but also to have a one world religion.

At the beginning of March, Barack Obama went in for his required physical examination. The White House physician, Navy Captain Jeffrey Kuhlman, reported that Obama drinks and smokes too much. (3) Obama was told that all of the social events he must attend produce a job hazard because of all the alcoholic drinks. Remember the President's infamous "Beer Summit" held on the White House lawn to pacify racial tension? (4) I also have in front of me a photograph of Obama and a relative sitting in front of his family home in Kenya. He is sitting there in front of that mud hut with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, looking very much like a thug. (5) Could such a man ever become President of the United States? This photograph reveals how far gone we are!

If we go back sixty years or so, we see quite a difference in the character and office of the President of the United States. I realize that President Harry S. Truman had his problems, but he did have some character compared to what we have now. The only assets President Truman had when he died was his house in Independence, Missouri, that his wife inherited from her parents. When Truman retired from the Presidency in 1952, he received only a U.S. Army pension of $261.78 per week. Congress, however, noted that President Truman bought his own stamps and was personally licking them, so they gave him a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year. When he left the White House, he and his wife Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves with no secret service escort. After Truman left office, he was offered numerous high paying positions in the corporate world. He always said no to these offers with the following explanation: "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and its not for sale." On Truman's 87th birthday, Congress tried to award him the Medal of Honor, but he refused to accept it. He wrote the following explanation: "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise." We should also note that while he was President he personally paid for all his own travel and food. President Harry Truman once made the following statement: "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference." (6)

Is "Big Brother" watching us? Are we living in a panopticon void of privacy? In February 2010, Newsweek Magazine published a story that revealed that the FBI is keeping track of the location of all 277 million cell phones in America and can pinpoint those locations to within a few hundred feet. This is being done with the cooperation of all of the cell phone companies. (7) On March 2nd, 2010, the Wall Street Journal reported the details of the Einstein Cyber Shield, which is operated and controlled by the White House. This "Einstein" program is implemented through the National Security Agency and it monitors all internet activity and every e-mail from every computer. (8) It has also been discovered that DNA samples from babies have been collected and sent to the U.S Military to create a data bank. A lawsuit is being considered in Austin, Texas, to try to stop this practice. (9)

As the transition powers of Antichrist progress, there exists an element of madness in their operation. Recently, the French mainstream news agency accurately reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking ten trial lawyers to fill open positions. The official job listing encourages people with all types of disabilities to apply for these high level attorney positions, including those with mental illness and the mentally retarded. (10)

These are the days when even common sense is being sabotaged. Why has Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Nepolitano, also known as "Jan the man," been meeting secretly with known terrorist leaders? She has been meeting behind closed doors with leaders of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood, which is the parent organization of Hamas and Al Qaeda. Why did the American news media ignore this two-day event? (11)

We have now learned that one thousand architects and engineers have united together to call for a new 9/11 investigation. (12) These professionals know full well that it was not airplanes that brought down these massive towers and the other buildings that were not even hit by planes. They know it was an inside job by our own government, using bombs to do their dirty work to provide an excuse to start two senseless wars that we are still fighting. The sins of Bush, Cheney, and now Obama will find them out, both here and on Judgment Day.

It is amazing that I must obtain most of the news from overseas. The American news media are nothing more than sock puppets for the Obama Administration. They perform like trained seals as they make the bad look good and the good look bad. The famous author Samuel Clemens, commonly known as Mark Twain, once issued the following statement about the controlled news media: "Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your honor. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

Obama seems to want to leave his mark on everything. This world-renowned "man of peace," who won the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing, has now received approval to rename the war in Iraq as "Operation New Dawn." (13) This was confirmed in a memo signed by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates. I have no doubt that the Iraqi war, being fought in the land of the Euphrates River with volatile Iran to the immediate east, is the gateway to Armageddon. The Scripture warned us about fearful sights in the last days, and most Americans have been kept in the dark about the horrors of these wars. On December 31st, 2009, the prestigious London Times newspaper featured a story that revealed the following about what is going on in Afghanistan: "American-led troops were accused yesterday of dragging innocent children from their beds and shooting them during a night raid that left ten people dead. Afghan government investigators said that eight school children were killed, all but one of them from the same family. Locals said that some victims were handcuffed before being killed." (14)

Another thing that should be noted is that Obama, the warmonger man of false peace, has redesigned the official logo for the Missile Defense Agency. It is now looking very Islamic with a blue crescent moon and a star within the crescent. The star has three red tails with white margins. (15)

I am convinced that it is far later than most people may think it is. In the European Union, the German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has announced a forthcoming European Army as provided for in the Lisbon Treaty. (16) This would be a massive single military force for United Europe!

It is common knowledge that the United States Government is bankrupted and broke. Why then are we building the most expensive and elaborate embassy ever built? On February 24th, 2010, the London Times newspaper revealed that the United States is building a new embassy complex at Battersea in England. The cost is projected to be one billion dollars. It is being built in an area that is known for its "gay clubs." The building will be designed by Philadelphia architect Kieran Timberlake and will be a "vast crystalline cube," surrounded by a moat of water 100 feet wide. The photograph of the model shows the building to be a glistening and brilliant cube. (17) In other words, it is clear as crystal and lieth foursquare: the length, breadth, and height of it are all equal. This is clearly a mockery of the New Jerusalem as described in Revelation 21:10-11, 16 as follows: "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal…..And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: aand he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal."

Economic Metamorphosis!

It is no secret that the United States economy is in deep trouble and worsening every day. On February 17th, 2010, Vice President Joe Biden said the following: "Washington right now is broken, and the country is in deep trouble unless it attacks ballooning Federal deficits. I have never seen it this dysfunctional." (18) The entire system of banking in America is in deep trouble. Regulators have now reported a 27 percent jump in problem banks, and this is an ongoing trend. (19) On February 25th, 2010, the Congressional Oversight Panel reported that massive bank failures are now imminent. There are now at least 3,000 small to midsized banks which have a risky concentration of commercial and real estate loans that threaten their survival. This amounts to about 1.4 trillion dollars of potential bad debt in a market where property values have dropped by an average of 40 percent. (20) Another problem is that the big banks have gotten too big. In 1995 the combined assets of the six biggest banks totaled 17 percent of the Gross Domestic Product. In 2006 that percentage jumped to 55 percent. At this present time, 2010, the percentage is 63 percent. Thus, nearly two-thirds of our entire nation's GDP is held by six banks. (21)

The American dollar is so anemic that South Carolina Representative Mike Pitts has introduced legislation to ban the Federal currency and have his state go back to true constitutional money, which is gold and silver coin. Representative Pitts said, "If the Federal Government continues to spend money at the rate it's spending money, and if it continues to print money at the rate it's printing money, our economic system is going to collapse." (22)

We are now living in a time when people are dependent on government for survival as never before. Welfare, unemployment, and other programs have made people servants of the Federal Government. For the first time since the first Great Depression, Americans took more from the government than they paid in taxes. (23) In this year of 2010, we find countless millions of people with much debt, very little money, and no earnings engine. People everywhere are financially strapped and distressed. We have now learned that on March 4th, 2010, the New York Times reported that the Obama Administration is planning to finance its "green programs" by adding a gasoline tax that will bring the price per gallon to $7.00. (24) Such a tax would about finish us off. We must also note that when a nation's industrial base is gone that nation faces economic death. In January 2010, there were 1,761 mass layoffs in American industrial facilities! (25) I believe we should support what is left of American industries by purchasing American-made products. The quickest and easiest way to find out where something was made is to look at the bar code. All full bar codes have vertical lines and numbers underneath them. We also know that every bar code displays the mark of the beast because the first, middle, and last lines are longer than the others, and these have a numerical value of 6. Thus, every bar code displays 666. If we look at the first three printed digits at the bottom, those three digits will tell us where the product was made. If they are 690, 691, or 692, the product was made in Red China. The digits 00-09 indicate the U.S.A. and Canada. If the numbers begin with 30-37, the product was made in France. Germany is 40-44, Taiwan is 47, Japan is 49, and the UK is 50.

A Contaminated World!

The conspiratorial powers of the New World Order have completely contaminated this world with the products of their greed, avarice, and selfishness. They are now trying to reduce the population down to manageable levels and rebuild a so-called "green earth." These people have no regard for human life because it is their purpose to dispose of large segments of the world population. In a recent speech, the infamous Bill Gates called for reducing the world population by immunizations. In the speech he said the following: "The world population is headed for nine billion people. Now, if we do a really good job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services - we could lower that perhaps ten or fifteen percent." (26) The deceptive dangers of vaccines are destroying lives continually. On January 12th, 2010, the Express in the United Kingdom reported that two hundred doctors, nurses, firefighters, prison officials, police officers, and others experienced serious physical and mental health problems after taking required immunizations. All of these had to leave their jobs, and some are 60% disabled. (27)

In Amos 7:17, the prophet declared that we would die in a polluted land. That prophecy is even now coming to pass. On December 9th, 2009, the Bayer Company admitted that they have been unable to control the spread of their genetically-altered organisms despite their best efforts to stop contamination. (28) Their admission reveals that all outdoors field trials, the growing of genetically engineered crops, must be stopped before our crops are irreversibly contaminated. While genetically-altered crops bring higher yields and greater profits, they destroy the natural system of plant growth in various ways, including cross pollination. Even with complete knowledge of this present danger, genetically modified forests are now being planned for the Southeastern section of the United States. International Paper and MeadWestvaco are planning to transform plantation forests of the Southeastern United States by replacing native pine with genetically engineered eucalyptus. (29)

No matter where we look, pollution has engulfed our planet. In a new study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, every single fish tested in 291 streams and waterways throughout the United States revealed that 100 percent of the fish are contaminated with mercury. (30) Mercury is a heavy metal and potent neurotoxin that builds up in the food chain and accumulates as a residual poison in the human body. We also know that on March 1st, 2010, the Times-News reported that much of the sodium fluoride that is being added to our drinking water is now being imported from Red China. This fluoride, which is manufactured by the Shanghai Mintchem Development Company, LTD, contains high levels of arsenic and lead with 50 and 40 milligrams per bag respectively. (31) It seems that things that make us sick or kill us are in ready supply, but things that are good for us are being regulated and even outlawed by the government. As of January 1st, 2010, colloidal silver, a powerful and natural antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal substance, which is perfectly safe, has been banned and outlawed in the European Union. This has been done under the laws of Codex Alimentarius, which regulates the sale and use of all natural vitamins and supplements. (32) We have now learned that recently Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan have introduced a dietary supplement bill that would regulate natural products from the manufacturer to the retail store level. It would allow the Federal Government to arbitrarily ban nutritional supplements by the FDA. (33)

Truly, these are the days of the Beast and his mark. According to a recent survey done in Germany as reported by Reuters News Service, one out of four Germans want to receive the microchip under their skin. (34) There is, however, some good news regarding the microchipping of people. The Commonwealth State of Virginia passed a bill that bans the use of the chip implants as the mark of the beast. This also forbids employers from requiring their employees to have implanted devices. The Virginian House of Delegates has shown us that they understand the danger of chip implants. In fact, Delegate Mark Cole made the following statement: "I am concerned that the implants will turn out to be the mark of the beast worn by Satan's minions. (35)

The Society of Antichrist!

As Earth prepares to receive her king by continually rejecting the God of the Bible, society and religion are being continually corrupted. On February 4th, 2010, Barack Obama attended the National Prayer Breakfast where he pushed his "gay" and "green" agenda. During Obama's speech, he praised the evangelical pastors for their cooperation in his "green program" to save the environment. Obama also thanked the evangelical pastors for their cooperation with his homosexual agenda. Obama went on to honor a homosexual civil rights leader who made the following statement: "The God of the Bible is a sinful homophobic bigot who needs to seek forgiveness for the pain and suffering which his sinful homophobia has needlessly inflicted upon gay people for the past 4,000 years." (36) Without a doubt, the spirits of Sodom and Gomorrah are in Washington, D.C. In fact, at the beginning of March 2010, "gay" marriage became legal in the U.S. Capital. (37)

At the end of the same month of the prayer breakfast, the White House hosted a meeting of atheist groups from throughout the United States. Men such as Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, and Christopher Hitchens, author of God Is Not Great, were invited to attend. (38) These atheist groups are highly organized and outspoken. One atheist group recently started a "holy book for porn program." The atheists are asking people to trade in their Bibles for pornography, which the atheist group will provide. (39)

In these days of the rising of the Antichrist, anything even resembling Christianity is being desecrated and openly mocked. On March 6th, 2010, the BBC News Service released a story exposing a papal senior aide, who was running a gay prostitution ring. The official title of this man, Angelo Balducci, was a "Gentleman to His Holiness." Police caught him through a telephone tap. (40) On March 10th, 2010, the Vatican's chief exorcist, "Father" Gabriele Amorth, age 85, announced, "The Devil is in the Vatican." This Vatican official admitted that the Roman Catholic Church has bishops and even cardinals who do not believe in Jesus. Amorth also mentioned the massive amounts of sex abuse and pedophilia and said, "When one speaks of 'the smoke of Satan' in the holy rooms it is all true." (41) At least one of their own has finally admitted it.

The Earth in Travail!

As I write this newsletter, we are coming out of one of the strangest and most severe winters in recorded history. On the 12th day of February 2010, 49 of the 50 states in the United States had snow on the ground. (42) The Northeastern part of the United States was hit hard by three consecutive record-breaking blizzards that buried them in snow and left millions of people without power. (43)

One of the great signs of the last days is the accelerated number of earthquakes all over the world. On February 27th, 2010, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck the nation of Chile. There was great loss of life, many injuries, and widespread destruction. Chile was not declared an area of disaster, but an area of catastrophe. (44) Over 500,000 homes were severely damaged. Highways, bridges, and overpasses crumbled, and chaos was everywhere. (45) Then came severe aftershocks, exceeding magnitude six, and the rumbling and shaking continued almost constantly for the next ten days. This was one of the most dynamic earthquakes that ever shook our planet. I have no doubt that God is sending us wake-up calls for sinful man to repent. This devastating quake in Chile followed right on the heels of the horrifying quake that decimated the little nation of Haiti. We are also being warned that the Pacific Northwestern part of the United States is in line for the same type of quake that hit Chile. From Seattle, Washington, to Portland, Oregon, a massive quake is due to happen. The fault line and plate structure in that area are identical to the one in Chile. (46)

According to the "Iris Seismic Monitor" of the U.S. Geological Survey, earthquakes have been increasing dramatically in number, frequency, and intensity. It used to be amazing to us when there were 300 significant quakes of magnitude 4 or higher within a thirty-day period. Now it seems we have jumped past the 400 mark, and as of March 9th, there had been a whopping 567 significant earthquakes within a thirty-day period. Five days later the number had jumped to 648. Three days later, on March 16th, 2010, the number had jumped to 671. (47) It is as if the earth is going through labor pains, just as prophesied in the Bible. In I Thessalonians 5:3 we read as follows: "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." Yes, the earthquakes keep coming! Included as such were the 6.4 magnitude quake in Taiwan on March 3rd, 2010, (48) and the 6.9 magnitude quake that struck Okinawa on February 27th, 2010. (49)

The recent earthquake in Chile was a major event in another way. According to Richard Gross and other scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, California, the Chilean quake shifted the Earth's axis and shortened our days. (50) Strangely enough, the oldest meaning of the word Chile is from the Indian word chillichilli, which means "where the land ends, where the land runs out, and limit of the world."

In closing, I extend my sincerest thanks to all who support this end time prophetic ministry. God bless you exceedingly. Remember to send your prayer requests, and we will give them individual attention. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

David J. Meyer

Have News For Christians - WW
Bretheren, I have news for those who love Christ and walk in the light of love and the Gospel. It is not necessarily welcome news but it is news that I must pass on nonetheless. It is news that I have been commanded to put forward to you and to first ask you not to be overtaken by a spirit of fear and dread when you hear it.

Let not this news steal your joy, nor keep you from doing whatever task God has put in front of you to do. Again I say do not let this news cause you to fear nor dread the future. This news is not really for nominal Christians. Nor is it for those whose first love is their careers, money, houses, cars, boats, digital media collections, appetites, drugs, porn or any other thing that comes between you and Jesus Christ. At the first sign of trouble or threat to these 'first loves' in the lives of these people, they will turn tail and run from the Church and Christ. They will also turn and betray those of us who truly know and love Christ. I am not going to tickle your ears here but say these things so that you can prepare your hearts.

The simple news I have to pass on is this, they are going to persecute us and kill we who are in the household of faith. This is going to happen. YOu cannot pray it away for Christ and his Holy Apostles made it plain that in the final hour, great persectutions will take place and many will be martyered for the faith. I did say many, not a few. Today we can see this happening in much of he third and developing world. Persecutions against Christians is real, it is growing and wheater you wish to accept it or not, it is being coordinated, globally. This is one of the major reasons the major Global corporations who control most of world's media will not cover this issue. Not a word is uttered about unspeakable massacres that occur regularly. We are dealing with an Antichrist/demoic media. If you can get it on your major Cable channels it is controlled by forces who have decided not to report these issues and there is a reason for it. A demonic reason for it.

They are going to start their program here in the US. When I do not know, but given the forces in control of this administration, I do not think it will be very long. Now first I do not expect to see any real killing of Christians. There are too many here and it would cause an uproar. So they must demonize Christians, marginalize us and then they can come after us. This is why the recent arrest of the militia group is of some interest. The mainstream media did not waste any time using the word 'Christian' to identify these suspects. It is not that these men were Christians, no one who plots to murder a policeman or any person is a Christian. But the connection must be made and repeated often and with a drumbeat of repetition (repetition is a key technique of propaganda) that connects Chrsitian-Militia, Christian-Violence, Christian-antisocial, Chriitian-armed groups.

This is key and it is very important. We have seen many government papers leaked out to the press that always connects up Christians with Violence. Christians are the most peaceful people on earth, but somehow, those in power are making us out to be a violent subversive threat to peace and public order. This is key because I am here to tell you that one day they are going to target us Christians in ways that no one thought possible in America.

But let me make this abundantly clear for those who think I treat some of these racist militia groups who are often called or call themselves Christian, too gently. I have no truck with them, they are no good and may God grant our leaders success in rooting out this kind of hate and violence that masquerades as Christianity. These groups are a blight on our nation and are a kind of 'walking, talking, blasphemy' on the cross of Christ. If I had any advice for our leaders it would be that they try and make sure that all Christians are not lumped into the 'propaganda matrix' of hate when they do their press releases and write their intelligence reports on these obscene groups. Christ was not and is not about violence. His people are correctly described as sheep. These groups are like wolves in sheep's clothing, giving sheep a bad name.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Mat 24:9-13)

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (Luk 12:4-10)

The temptation, overwhealming temptation for some, will be to deny Christ Jesus to save ones home, job, career, children or life. Many will succumb to it. Those that do not yield to it may find new hardships in this life. I will not sugar coat what is likely to happen to many of us. We must all bear many crosses and walk with Christ and endure to the end if we are to be saved.

Already people are starting to see what is happening to our nation and many of them are not even Chrsitains! The propaganda targeted at us is not even very slick and difficult to spot anymore. Most of it is extremely sloppy... almost childlike. It shows me just how much contempt they have for the intelligence of the people. People are falling for it lock, stock and barrel. Obamamania was just the most recent and clear phenomenon of a well coordinated political psyops program. It works, look how many people were fooled. I say again it works and most people still do not understand what they are dealing with. Obama is not your problem. The system is the problem and everytime Christians go into the ballot box and votes for the devil he has exchanged the truth for a lie. We are watching the fall of the American Republic and another system is being set up in its place. In this new system there will be no place for Christians.

Yet some 'Christians' will be allowed to participate in the new Society. Those who submit to the new Global ethic. The acceptance of sodomy in their congregations, the rejection of the need for Christ and his cross, the acceptance of Islam and witchcraft as 'other ways to God' and a clear rejection of Biblical authority. If a 'christian' can accept this new emerging global ethic he can participate in the new system. The rest will be labeled (labeling is extremely important here and it is why the repetition is important) as 'right wing extremists' or 'apocalyptic cultists'. The labeling is important because it is designed to conjure an image in your mind. The image they want to create? A gun toting violent person bent on overthrowing the government to be defined as a 'Fundementalist Christian'.

Do not expect either major party to change any of this. The people who are driving this are far above our elected representatives. They are the men who have billions at their disposal, can and do throw elections from Russia to Ireland to Florida have their own private armies and can make any person just about anywhere on earth disappear or die within 72 hours.

Are you a criminal co-conspirator? Did you know that if a person came to your home and asked you for a gun so that he could rob a bank and you gave it to him and provided him with bullets knowing that is what they would do, you are are a criminal co-conspirator? Did you know that if he kills someone, depending on the state you live in, you could also be charged with murder? Did you know that? These are good laws and necessary laws and makes sure that those who knowingly assist in the commission of criminal acts do hard time for their actions. So I ask you, are you a criminal co-conspirator? Did you give Bush, Obama, Pelosi Reid, Hastert and the lot the political ammunition to get into power to commmit murder, force Chinese women to get abortions, drop bombs on Children, Kill a Million Iraqi's, make 3 million of them refugees, torture people and even murder some of them while in US custody? If you put your X next to either of these parties I say this now. YOU are a criminal co-conspirator. Don't blame Obama. Don't blame Pelosi. Don't blame Bush. Don't even blame Cheney. They may have pulled the trigger but you put the gun in their hand and told them where to shoot knowing full well what they would do with it. Brothers and sisters hear me, American Christendom, most of it anyway, are Criminal Co-conspirators. Like a whore who gives her pimp a gun to commit a crime, so is much of American Christendom. What happens when the whore looses her looks? She gets dumped and if the pimp has a violent streak in him and she 'knows too much', she may get clipped.

The whore is showing more wrinkles and age lines these days and isn't turning nearly the cash she used to. A few too many 'sags and bags' around her waistline. Her usefulness is just about over.

American Christians are looking for one or the other wing of the two party abomination (that is what it is brethren and the sooner you figure it out, the sooner God can use you) to save them. It is impossible for the devil to save Christians, though he goes to great lengths to see to it that they think he can. This system is being set up right before our eyes. It is taking them longer here in the US as the techniques for social marginalization are taking a little longer than (I think) they hoped. The internet is having a tremendous effect in slowing them down. But the train has already left the station and only a handful of genuine Christians can see this, for only those who really love our Lord and do the things he asks are allowed to see many of the things going on. The rest God has deliberately blinded most and this includes millions of nominal Christians.

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (Joh 12:40)

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2Co 4:4)

The key here is that deep down inside they believe not. Because true faith means true action. A fundamental change occurs when one has the true, saving faith. The rest, I am here to tell you are talking the talk but are not walking the walk. These are the ones who will fall away and betray those of us who are walking the walk.

Finally, never take any kind of revenge for your persecutions. Never hate your persecutors. Christ commanded us to bless those who persecute us, so bless them and curse not. So when called upon to give your life, remember that men and women who persecute you are not in full control of themselves. They are working under orders from evil spiritual forces that they will never understand. They are not your problem. The real problem is that of satanic evil which will one day run the earth for a very short period of time.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
(Rev 13:5-7)

So as I post the stories I do about Christians being massacred, burned alive, raped, sent to labor camps... pray for your brothers as though suffering with them. They need your prayers and one day, you will need theirs because what they are suffering, many of us will suffer in the not too distant future right here in the west.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Rev 20:4)

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (2Co 4:8-10)

Bretheren, this gift of salvation is a very, very great gift and is worth all you have to obtain. The persecutions we must face are small in comparison for what God has in store for us for he truly and deeply loves us. Besides, when the man of sin comes on the scene the only thing that can keep a man alive is doing and worshiping pure, unadulterated evil.

Do you really want to live in a world like that and exchange a few short months of 'living death' here in exchange for your immortal soul? Fear has one answer to this question, faith another.

It is your choice.

I write this today on the day the Christ offered himself up as a Sacrifice for our Sins, that is the Jewish Passover celebration.

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (Heb 10:12-14)

The real Hussein Obama

When a Head of State visits the US he or she is greeted with honour, sometimes even military honours. For example when one of the Arab Head's of State comes to the White House they are even met at the Airport by high ranking dignitaries, often even the President Himself. If it happens to be the King of Saudi Arabia, Obama would even bow to him, showing his submission to Islam. If it was a third-world leader from Africa he would get the full military reception. And when they came to the White House they would come through the front door and be brought to the Oval Office. All of this of course would receive full press coverage.

BUT, when the Jewish Leader of the best and only real friend America has in the Middle East "Israel" comes to visit the White House he is brought in under the cover of night. Not to the front door, he is brought to a side door! There he is met by an unknown person and quickly ushered into a side room where he waits for the grand appearance of the President, who takes his time, and then arrives with arrogance and distain, showing a vindictive attitude towards the Jewish Leader of Israel, Netanyahu.

It would seem to me that the cover has been completely blown off any pretence of Obama's position on Israel, and the Arab's who call themselves "Palestinians". He no longer negotiates with Israel these days - now he Demands that Israel submit to the Islamic Arabs, and give up their land in order to appease them . In short, what he is demanding is the final and total destruction of the Jewish State of Israel.

Obama knows the truth. That who, and what he is, will catch up with him. His intent is to destroy the United States from within, and his hatred for the USA and even its flag is becoming well known. But God has something to say to Mr. Obama;

Zech.12

[1] The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
[2] Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
[3] And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
[4] In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
[5] And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
[6] In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

Obama has given Netanyahu until Saturday to give his answer on his demands. That causes me to wonder; "how long God will give Mr. Obama"?

Unlike times past, when the Israeli people wanted their government to give in to the wishes of the United States [at least to some degree], this time Netanyahu has the backing of 90%, -if not more- of the Israeli public, even including the left wing Parties. The latest Israeli polls show only 9% have a favourable opinion of Obama - and believe he favours the "Palestinians" and the Islamic Arab World. In fact, I personally don't know one Israeli who doesn't believe that Obama is a Moslem!

As Believers in Yeshua (Jesus the Holy One of Israel) you have God's Word about the days we now find ourselves in. There should be no doubt in your mind of the need to prepare the best you possibly can for your family and loved ones. This coming year will reveal many things, making it all very clear, and no longer necessary for these kinds of warnings. But for now you are forewarned. Not by this Messenger - but by God's Word.

It must be very clear to everyone by now that God has the attention of the entire world focussed on this small piece of real estate "Israel" just as it is has been foretold in scripture. For it is here in this land God gave you His Word, and it is here in this land "Israel" He will bring all things together, and His prophetic Word shall come to pass.

The world is beginning to shake, and it will be brought into total chaos in a very short time period. Millions of souls will be weighed in the balance as they make their decision who they will follow, and there are only two choices.

Many who say they love Israel will turn against her and be deceived by the evil one of this world. But those who know and love the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, will bless Israel and the Jewish people. God will make the final Aliyah of His Jewish people

Isa.[11] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
[12] And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

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

Shabbat Shalom,

Do You Have an Ear to Hear?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Much of what we once thought of as futuristic prophecy is now today's news! And a lot of it seems to bypass most Christians who through lack of study simply don't recognise that! Turkey is rapidly establishing close ties with Iran, Russia is being drawn daily closer to the Arab world. Anti-Semitism is now spreading like wildfire throughout the entire world. Added to that we are witnessing the demise of the United States of America at the hands of their new "Messianic" President. Iran is currently threatening to wipe Israel off the map, bringing Ezekiel 38:5-6 into view. This list goes on and on with horrible genocidal stories being reported in Africa. Syria and Lebanon are now lining up with Iran, making Isaiah 17:1 a real possibility any day now. Greece is collapsing by following the same kind of economic insanity being implemented in the U.S. This will cause a domino effect throughout all of Europe, making it easier for the Islamists to gain more control, bringing about the likelihood of another Holocaust - not only for the Jewish population but Christians as well.

This list of horrors will continue and intensify in the days ahead. In short, the world as we know it is falling apart at the seams. The only real weapon we have is our ability to reach the High Heaven with prayers, knowing that God's Will must be done as it is written. Therefore your prayers need to be in accordance with God's Word and not taken out of context to suit yourself. You see, God's Word is not something we live with, but something we live by.

God speaks to us in many ways, His sheep know His voice and I encourage you to spend more time in prayer seeking His Will for your life. Ask for His Wisdom and His knowledge - setting aside your own understanding thus allowing a clear channel between you and God. There is so much insanity today being called "Christianity" and the only way to find the truth is to spend time alone with God, never allowing man's doctrine to influence you. You must rightly divide the Word of God not allowing yourself to make it into something you can easily live with.

God has called us to prepare to save Jewish lives that will be pouring out of Europe, running for their lives as they did in the 30's and 40's. This time it will not just be the Nazi's, but rampant anti-Semitism has convinced many that the Jews are the problem. The Devil has once again been able to poison the minds with blind hatred towards his enemies the Jews. He believes that if he can destroy the Jews, and the Nation of Israel, he can prolong his reign on planet earth, thereby holding back the appearance of the returning Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). I know that is explaining the most important event in our lives in a nutshell, but that is exactly what it is all about.

In my prayers I have often asked God why He doesn't speak to some of the great powerhouses of wealth as clearly as He has to me. There are many who could organize a fleet of ships and pay an army to bring the Jews home when the time comes. God gave me the answer; He said I do not have their ear. I know that may not make much sense to some, but that is what He said.

When God spoke it into my spirit and heart that I must begin to prepare to rescue the Jews who will be pouring out of Europe I thought I must be losing my mind. At the time we couldn't have bought a row-boat, yet I know I heard from God. But as time moved on, step by step, He opened doors as we moved forward by faith. Today we have established contacts across the Mediterranean in many countries. We have established communications and contacts that would have seemed impossible when I first heard from God to prepare to rescue Jews. We now have two 60-foot boats. It hasn't been easy, and the effort needed ahead of us often looks insurmountable. Yet we will move forward with the full knowledge that by Faith all things are possible.

Over the past year I've mentioned many times our need for a much larger boat. Today there are many up for sale in Turkey because of the disintegrating financial situation. These are Turkish made Gullets and are ideal for what we need. They are very common in this part of the Mediterranean and are not drawing a lot of attention. Gullets (120+feet+) that originally cost $2million+ when new now can be bought for around $400k simply because they are not privately owned. They are the assets of businesses and they are losing money every day because of the failing economy. With such a boat we would be able to save more than three times as many as we can now with the two 60-footers. I pray daily for this to be a reality, and as you know time is running out for us to purchase such a vessel. What I am asking you to do is to pray about this, asking God what your part in this ministry will be. If God speaks to your heart please respond as soon as possible for things are happening very quickly.

As summer approaches it has now become apparent that many are asking me to come and meet with them. There will be many trips to be made in these coming months - all very important and will not be publicized for obvious reasons. All these trips are costly and must be made. To have boats without the right contacts would be worthless.

We know many reading this are having a hard time, and we do pray for you daily. As I've said many times before, your first obligation is to provide for your family. God is well aware of your situation and needs, and it is God who needs to speak to your heart to support this, or any other Ministry.

If God has been speaking to you about supporting this Ministry in Israel, we welcome your support.

The best way at this time is by personal cheque and sent by airmail, and if you are concerned about the cheque you can register the letter. You can send Personal Cheques, or Bank Cheques by airmail or registered mail. Money orders are also okay, with the exception of US Postal Money Orders. They are not good out side of the US. All cheques and money orders can be sent

We do not use PayPal because they have been illegally holding this Ministry’s money for the past 3 years. To know more about Paypal click on www.paypalsucks.com
