Quote# 123631

Recent weeks have seen a number of new maneuvers by Pope Francis pushing the causes of a world religion and world government.

On the religious front, the pope and Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby recently met in Rome to pledge their “undeterred” efforts to “see their two churches” formally reunited. Declaring agreement on baptism, communion, and use of the Bible, they admitted remaining differences on the role of women in ministry and views on sexuality. Should the Vatican succeed in absorbing the Anglicans and Episcopalians, some 85 million new members would be added to the pope’s idolatry.

An article in the last issue of BATTLE CRY ("Lutherans Decided Reformation 'Struggle' Is Over") detailed the meeting between the pope and the Lutheran World Federation on the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation. During his trip to the year-long celebration in October he suggested six new “Beatitudes” to deal with today’s problems.

One conferred a blessing on “those who helped protect and care for our common home.” This continued his signature theme of environmentalism, the subject of a recent encyclical. The pope has chosen to push the climate change hoax as a common enemy that all religions and political ideologies can relate to.

Another addressed immigration with a plea for mercy for the “abandoned and marginalized.” Here he was building support for the developed nations to open their arms to the floods of refugees from the turmoil in other nations. Doing so will overwhelm their resources bringing the economic and social chaos necessary for the rise of the antichrist.

Still another highlighted “those who pray and work for full communion between Christians.” Many evangelicals and other Protestants have fallen for the pope’s enticements to unity. While Catholicism has steadfastly refused to give an inch on its core beliefs in a wafer god, Virgin Mary goddess, and salvation by works, Protestants have abandoned biblical truth for the siren song of love and unity at any cost.

Other “new beatitudes” dealt with forgiveness for persecution, seeing “God in every person,” and sacrifice for others.

Information also surfaced recently about Francis’s involvement in the United Religions Initiative (URI) while he was Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio in Argentina. URI is a movement started by a San Francisco Episcopal Bishop, William Swing. URI promotes interfaith dialog and cooperation with the goal of persuading all religions to live in harmony for the good of all. Financial supporters include George Soros and Bill Gates.

The pope’s involvement fits neatly with his other efforts for world political and religious unity. URI boasts of 200 chapters in 80 countries and works closely with the UN on mutual initiatives promoting globalization, again preparing for the antichrist.

In a recent speech the pope warned against a “virus of polarization,” the turmoil in the world created by hostility between different nationalities, races, or beliefs. Comments like this also come from the pope’s agenda to destabilize existing governments preparing for the rise of the antichrist to establish a one world government and religion.

This Jesuit pope is openly campaigning for the new world order: ecumenism, the blending of religions, and globalism, the elimination of nation states and establishment of a one-world government and a one-world economy. To achieve this, all “extremists” must be eliminated, including those who reject a one-world Bible and who dare to “proselytize” (soul winners).

Jesus said the night would come when we could not work for the kingdom. New laws in Russia, China, Egypt, and India are making soul winning more difficult. Shadows are also gathering in the Western World.

We need to get more gospel out while we can. Tracts are still the cheapest way to reach more people in a short time.

Psalms 97:10 commands us as Christians to hate evil as God hates evil. Women dressing like prostitutes in miniskirts and negligees is definitely evil. It's not a matter of opinion. Exposed cleavages, exposed thighs, tight clothing... only a fool or liar would dare even try to defend such immoral, lewd and whorish attire. 1st Timothy 2:9 commands women to adorn themselves in “MODEST” apparel. You whorish women need to put your clothes back on! Jesus taught in Matthew 5:28 that the thought of lust is adultery. Hence, you ladies who deliberately dress sensually are causing men to commit adultery, which makes you EQUALLY guilty with every man who has sex or rapes you in his mind. Women who dress like whores are asking for trouble.

A slutty clothed woman in India was gang raped. She gathered an angry mob of women who said that they should be able to walk around naked if they want, without fear of being attacked or ogled by men. In reality, it just doesn't work like that. Slutty women are treated slutty, that's just the way the sinful world works. If you want to be treated like a lady, then you need to behave like one, which is EXACTLY what the word “MODEST” means in 1st Timothy 2:9, that is, “of good behavior.” In other words, the way you dress conveys a message to all men of the type of character and behavior you possess. If you dress loose, then many men will consider you a loose woman. If you dress chaste, virtuous and modest, then they will respect you FOR RESPECTING THEM. Women who dress like sluts are showing loud and clear that they have NO RESPECT for the opposite sex. When men feel that they are being disrespected in places like India, you just may get gang raped and suffer what you asked you. Notice that I didn't say “what you deserved.” No woman deserves to be raped, but you may get what you're asking for if you're not respectful of men. This is a crazy world.

Please understand that I don't condemn others. I am a big sinner like anyone else. I love God and the Bible. I see so many people these days that talk about how they love God, while making sensual videos portraying sex scenes, destroying marriages and men's souls. 1st Peter 2:11, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” Did you read that? The Word of God warns that fleshly lusts “WAR AGAINST THE SOUL”!!! Yet, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and all the other sleazy reprobates are serving the Devil by promoting the lusts of the flesh and; thus, making it a lot harder for men to live right. Our prisons are filling up with men who are losing the battle which 1st Peter 2:11 speaks about. If temptation causes sin, and it does, then women who deliberately causes temptation to pursue a money-making career in entertainment are blaspheming God.

My preference is 14.5-17, though I guess I’m attracted to as old as mid 30’s if a woman’s kept herself up and has good genetics. I think most men are the same way.

It’s pretty messed up that a gawky high school guy theoretically has access to the hottest, most succulent females while your typical engineer or plumber has to stick with old hags. In a sane society, it would be the civilization maintainers who are rewarded with jailbait sex.

Quote# 123622

With the Women Trade System, lonely men around the globe will no longer suffer. The WTS will bring back what once was a man’s right, a man’s property: Women.

The WTS consists of the commercial distribution of women, locally or internationally. Each country should have a national Womart, where it must contain at least 20000 (twenty- thousand) women which ages are in the range of 18 and 52 years old. A Womart (portmanteau of women and mart), is the national entity that contains all women selected for future distribution. Once implemented, the choosing of females for the WTS should be done randomly by the government. This process must follow these percentages:

• 55% of women should be between 18-30 years of age

• 30% should be between 31 and 40 years of age

• 15% should be between 41 and 52 years of age

As soon as the counting is complete, authorities from the Womart should go immediately to each girl’s house and take them to the Womart’s installations. This process must be completed in less than a week. Police and other security entities must be notified to prevent female from escaping or hiding. Coordination is key in this situation. Each Womart facility will be required to have the following:

• At least 5000 rooms, with two cabin beds each, and a toilet

• Vast open space for girls to enjoy

• At least 600 security officers and/or police members (all male)

• A psychology and orientation centre

• Enough dining rooms

• A well established clinic with prepared personnel

Once everything is in place, women are assigned a bar code for further commercialization. Prices will vary, depending on looks, age, ethnicity, level of education, and others. The Womart needs to have a database with the correct information of each female. Said database must be accessible to the public. As mentioned before, women will be available to export and import. Nations will have the duty to establish a tariff on the women. Men can also buy online, from any country, but only one woman. Once a female is sold to a man, she becomes his property and he’s in total control of her life. She must obey him at any given point without hesitation. After purchase, if the female tries to escape, the buyer must immediately report it to the cops. If they catch her, the girl must be executed. On a similar case, if a girl tries to fight, kill, or succeeds in the murder of her owner, the officers are in their obligation to execute her. To assure that everything is going fine, once a purchase is completed, there must be a weekly visit from an official to check that everything is going fine.

(Submitter's note: According to the title, this is just part 1)

Televangelist Wants Donations Of $300 Or More To Buy A $60M Luxury Jet

The prevalent televangelist and founder of Atlanta-based World Changers Church International wants 200,000 people to donate $300 each so he can purchase a luxurious $60 million Gulfstream G650 airplane for his ministry — an airplane popular among billionaires.

Donations over the $300 mark are also welcome.

Reverend Creflo Dollar, 53, posted a five-minute video to his website asking for donations toward the plane.

Dollar said the airplane is needed so “World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace.”

Dollar preaches all over the world, but normally works out of his “World Dome” amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia, broadcasting his sermons across the country.

The private airplane Dollar had been using was reportedly damaged during an overseas trip, and he says if it were not for his skillful pilot, tragedy could have struck, per the Christian Post.

"The ministry's current airplane, was built in 1984, purchased by the ministry in 1999 and has since logged four million miles. Recently on an overseas trip to a global conference, one of the engines failed. By the grace of God, the expert pilot, who's flown with Creflo for almost 20 years, landed the plane safely without injury or harm to any passengers," said the website appeal.

Why does Dollar need to replace his old airplane with one of the most luxurious private jets available today?

An explanation was not given.

"Due to this recent incident coupled with the 31 years the airplane has been in service, we believe it is time to replace this aircraft so that our Pastors and staff can continue to safely and swiftly share the Good News of the Gospel worldwide. Believe it or not, there are still millions of people on this planet who have never heard of Jesus Christ and know nothing of His greatness. Our hearts desire to see precious lives changed and snatched out of darkness and thrust into His marvelous light! We need your help to continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ.

”The mission of Project G650 is to acquire a Gulfstream G650 airplane so that Pastors Creflo and Taffi and World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace. We are believing for 200,000 people to give contributions of 300 US dollars or more to turn this dream into a reality — and allow us to retire the aircraft that served us well for many years," the appeal said.

As of this morning, the video is no longer viewable on the website, reports CNN.

World Changers Church International preaches prosperity gospel, promising wealth and health to those who give 10 percent of their income to the church.

Dollar owns two Rolls-Royce vehicles and multi-million dollar homes in Atlanta and New Jersey.

His estimated net worth is $27 million, reports The Daily Mail.

Ok guys, some things that we should all admire about Franco.

1) He restored Traditional Values
2) He went to daily Communion
3) He expelled Communism from Spain
4) He dealt with Basque Terrorists
5) Homosexuals were arrested
6) Tranvesties were Arrested
7) Criminals were Arrested and were Appropriately Punished
8) Death penalty For Murderers
9) Non Vulgar media
10) Healthy sexuality was promoted
Wouldnt we as Christians want especially from number 5 Onwards to be positive things that we could have now in our wonderful Democratic countries?
(P.S. : I highly suspect this guy to be a troll. Seeing as he did not hang around long, possibly confirmed. Also, please do not generalize.)

One more thing, it's interesting how women in our society have concoceted the penumbra that a man controls his hormones. This in conjunction with saying with the same breath that a woman can do anything she pleases, as much as she pleases to exacerbate a man's feelings. The inculpable veniality of the feminine mystique is astonishing to an individual who actually uses his/her brain.

Woman have not one shredd of empathy. A hormonal being, who centers her life on her hormones; a person who swears that her quality of life is determined by how she feels, cannot possibly create the chemical impulse that can muster any type of empathy. Unless, of course, she takes the step to bear and raise children. One can only hope that a woman in this situation will have enough intestinal fortitude to counter the contempt that is issuing out of Cosmopolitan about the domestic engineer, and to actually listen to the one hormone that screams for the maternal instinct. That, my friends, is the only empathy a woman will ever truly realize. Too bad she has to wait to have kids to realize it.

A woman telling me to control my hormones, and not look respond to the visual signals she paints on her face, and wears on her body I find unpalatably incoherent with the world around her. What's more offensive is that she becomes offended when a man tries to tell her what's on her mind. On the other hand, her PMS is probably more psychologically devastating to all around her than any man's hormonal exacerbations of his overloaded testosterone will ever be. So for any woman who demands that a man control his hormones, there is a certain thought involving a kettle that comes to mind, but I just can't quite complete the sentence. Maybe it's writer's block.

Unbelievably, Billy Graham's Christianity Today Magazine actually promotes Taylor Swift. In a shameful ChristianityToday article (dated August 27, 2013) titled, “Why Do We Love To Hate Taylor Swift?,” contributing writer Gina Dalfonzo defends Taylor Swift, alleging that she gets criticized for everything, even for “covering up too much.” In 2013 Taylor was caught on camera with some friends in bikinis. Taylor's bikini went up to cover her naval, which some feminists (evidently who have no life) remarked about online. So ChristianityToday is insanely defending Taylor Swift, as if she was more modest than everyone else. What a lame argument to make, when Miss Swift's bikini merely covered her belly-button. I can't even show you the photo because it is so immodest. She's wearing 12% clothing while the other whores around her are wearing 7% clothing. Modesty? This article just goes to further evidence how apostate Billy Graham and his organization have become, and how the religious community has been brainwashed by Illuminati propaganda.

The Illuminati-controlled media continually praise, promote and pamper Taylor Swift, turning her into a god amongst the people. Taylor Swift is trash! And any Christian who doesn't like what I just said needs to get your backslidden heart right with God.

really cant stop it. we're on a collision course. & its not just the white dudes either. so many of us, colored incels like me, are boned.

the donald trump reprieve is temporary. we have maybe 4 years left, 8 yrs if we're really lucky (unless the usa splits btw red & blue states)

either feminist send us to the world of mad max with super hypergamy run amock or the muslims take over and "soumission" by hollbecq becomes the default world (modern theocracy, lots of harems for the bravest warlords - think islamic republic of iran). either way, lots of ppl die and lots of incels will suffer even worse.

the luckiest of the whites will run to siberia and form the white ethnostate spencer et al has been wet dreaming about for ages. i'm not saying they're wrong - whites should have their own land to themselves - but they dont do jack shit beyond mere band aids.

truly, the sexbot revolution will bring relief. but our cohort age group will be dead before we can taste satisfaction.

When I was younger, I asked how anyone can think like the joker when albert says "some men just want to see the world burn."

i've been immersed in this rotten feminist culture for so long that only thing i can think of is wishing for this place to burn in flames.

i understand how the joker thinks now (esp after reading the killing joke comic). there is no point, there is no salvation. let the world burn itself to the ground. i wont help it burn but i will not help it either.

Whatever you said about women of our time is 100% correct. I know you are an alpha male and played a lot of dating game. All those girlfriends you’ve been with were nothing but useless women. Women simply don't deserve more than a one night stand. Yes, I will say this to all men. When you pick up chics don't stay with them longer than one night. Just fu*ck and dump them. Run away from these bitche*s. Pick bi*ch fuc*k and fu*ck off repeat. Women are only good for a sex nothing more. No women in the world deserve a man’s true attention, love and affection. There isn’t any girlfriend or wife material anymore let alone good looking women with good body and figure. All of them are fat whales and shapeless anyway.
Leave the physical part and talk about their moral values. They have no human values like men. They have no emotions or feelings like we men do. Women are selfish and lacks empathy and compassion for other human beings. They will s*ck any co*ck if they are as evil as them and entertain their arrogant behaviour. Well it’s not a cup of tea for every man including me (though I do pretend like an @sshole sometimes to seduce them). Men are strong, smart, intelligent and above all we are human beings. We have a good heart. Men are not worthless sex machines like women. I do f*ck a lot of women but I never gave my heart away to any of these sl*ts. I don’t expect to find that perfect woman either. Treat women like prostitutes and nothing special.
I know my answer is going to make all the women here (and white knights) so angry so I expect them to start some shaming attack against me which means my answer trigger them, I will be happy to see that. Truths are always uncomfortable for those who try to hide it from everyone. Best of luck my friend. May god bless you.

I understand what you are saying here. How is God telling the Israelites to put a city to the sword any different from a jihadist thinking God had told him to kill people, for example? But there is a difference; in the conquest of Canaan, some cities were burned up, such as Jericho (Joshua 6). This only applied to the cities in what was intended to be a 'holy land', who wouldn't make a treaty with Israel. The idea was that there would be a land where God's law was perfectly followed (a bit like the Islamic vision of a Caliphate) that would eventually be spread throughout the world. Everything in these cities was said to be 'devoted to the Lord' (v.17). By totally destroying something or someone, that thing was irrevocably God's, going up to heaven in smoke. The burnt offering described in Leviticus carried the same idea. However since that time, God has sent Jesus to be a perfect, once-for-all offering, so that there is no need for sacrifices any more. Because jihadists reject this they still live in the days when sacrificial practices were carried out to gain God's forgiveness.

Quote# 123600

"The sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons." 1 Corinthian 10:20

LADIES: make sure you pray over that hair weave before attaching it to your head! In fact I urge you to strongly reconsider if you should even wear it in the first place.

Most of the natural or real weave that's used by women today comes from Asia, where women and men are known to offer their hair as a sacrifice to demonic spirits. In return it's believed the demons will offer them favor and blessings. This practice is called tonsuring.

The hair is then collected and sold to wholesalers who wash, dye and repackage the hair to be sold in beauty stores throughout Europe and America. The longer hair from women sells for more money,and is primarily used as hair extensions and making wigs.

(As a side note: The tonsured hair from men is mostly used to extract a type of amino acid called I-cysteine. It is used in the pharmaceutical, food and vitamin industries; one of its biggest applications is to be used as a flavor enhancer in our food; mainly bread products and bagels.)

Putting it in plain English: many of you right now as you're reading this have hair attached to your head that has been offered as a sacrifice to other gods. You're basically wearing hair that belongs to demons!

Could this be the cause of some of those incubus/succubus/sleep paralysis encounters you've been having? Could this be the thing keeping many of you from a godly relationship? Don't write this off as nonsense!

THINK ABOUT IT: in scripture we are warned against eating food that's been sacrificed to idols:

"But if someone says to you, 'This has been offered in sacrifice,' then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience." [1 Corinthians 10:28]

"You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things." [Acts 15:29]

"But I have a few things against you, because some of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality." [Revelation 2:14]

"But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols." [Revelation 2:20]

As we can see from the scriptures above. eating food sacrificed to idols coincided with sexual immorality, and was a serious matter for the early church. It was strictly forbidden by the apostles, and taught as prohibition doctrine throughout the whole Church world. But why?

SIMPLY PUT: pagans would practice a form of communion that involved eating meals dedicated to certain gods and deities. The Bible tells us those gods were really demons. But that part was only part of the communion. The other part consisted of sharing one's body with other people via sexual acts of fornication, mutual masturbation, homosexual activity. etc.

By eating and partaking in demonic communion, a person was allowing themselves to become one with the demons being worshiped, in essence allowing themselves to become a vassal for the demonic spirits to inhabit.

The followers of Jesus were told to avoid such meals, because one could not be a partaker of Christ while allowing themselves to be possessed by demons. [1 Corinthians 10:21] This brings us back to the subject of wearing hair that's been sacrificed to idols (demons).

When you purchase and wear hair that's been sacrificed to an idol, you are in essence making yourself one with the demons associated with that idol.

[...]

It is my belief that when you wear hair that's been sacrificed to a demon, you are in essence sacrificing your beauty and presenting yourself as a living sacrifice to the demon that the hair has been sacrificed to.

COULD THIS BE WHY so many women who attach this stuff to their own hair find themselves feeling and acting sexually seductive; and why many others will go crazy to obtain it?

• I've seen videos where women have risked their lives and freedoms just to have this hair.
• I've seen news reports where women all over the country have robbed stores just to steal this hair; where they went dumpster diving just to retrieve the hair that had been discarded in the trash.
• I've read reports of women being shot to death or beat up over this hair.

This causes one to wonder: what is it about this hair that makes a lot of women act a fool just to have it? Why do women act differently when this hair is attached to their own heads? What is in this hair???

I believe we've presented enough evidence to know the answer. For some of you reading this I know it can be disturbing. A lot of you are Christians.

And you're wondering if you have demon-empowered hair attached to your head right now. Or maybe you're wondering how to make what you've just read fit in with your relationship with Jesus Christ. You may even find a defensiveness setting in because I'm challenging one of your sacred cows - your hair.

But I want you to consider something: if women in India, Malaysia and other parts of the oriental world are willing to sacrifice their hair and beauty for gods, isn't your God worth that and more? In other words: are you willing to sacrifice not wearing hair extensions to have a greater walk with Jesus Christ?

I'm not saying you have to give up the hair. Nor am I saying it's mandatory. That is something you will have to allow the Holy Spirit to convince you of. But I am giving you something serious to think about and consider:

If that hair came from Asia, there's a 99% chance it was sacrificed to demons. And I don't know how a Christian can reconcile that without a serious conflict of conscious.

And just in case you thought you were in the clear because you wear Peruvian or Brazilian hair: I talk about the spirituality attached to that hair too, in my ebook DIVA GODDESS QUEEN: which you can download below.

This hair thing is serious! Besides: what's wrong with the hair that God gave you? Why not just go natural? The overwhelming majority of women look better and most confident wearing their own natural hair in my humble opinion. That's what I've always found to be most attractive about a woman's appearance.

One thing is certain: God is requiring that we give all ourselves to Him. He wants us to wholly sell out to Christ, holding nothing back in reserve.

"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him." [Romans 12:1]

"Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness." [Romans 6:13]

I pray that the Holy Spirit will speak into your heart, bringing to life that much needed truth which can make you a stronger, more serious servant of Jesus Christ than you've ever been before. These are the days when the evil one is rolling out his very best. Therefore we need to give God our very best if we're going to make it. And we have to be alert.

because people think there is no god they don't have to fear heaven or hell?
they think they can just do as they want?
they can take as they want?
they don't fear judgement so people become selfish?
is this the way my generation thinks?

Either God is all-powerful or he is not. If God is all-powerful, there is nothing he can’t do. Everything is on the table. But if God is not all-powerful, then Christians should live scared. We should also live with a lot of anxiety and depression.

This is what happens when we stop believing God is all-powerful. We must rely on ourselves. That’s a scary proposition. American Jesus would understand. Don’t operate outside of logic. Don’t dream big. Never make decisions that involve God showing up.

Most churches in America are glorified clubs. If God were taken out of the equation, NOTHING would change from week to week. Why? Nothing most Christians do requires the power of God.

The world doesn’t need to see good, moral people living good, moral lives. The world needs to see men and women living beyond their own abilities. The world needs to see Christians making decisions that depend on God showing up. And if He doesn’t show, we are going to look foolish.

Predictions, prophecies and possibilities

Throughout the ages many have set dates for the Second Coming of Christ. Within the last two centuries, the Millerites and Harold Camping both presented logical (but wrong) arguments to support their predictions. The Millerite prediction for the Second Coming was 1843, which they then represented was misunderstood and should be have been interpreted as a “cleansing in heaven” and not on earth. More recently, Harold Camping predicted the Lord’s return in 1994, which he then revised to 2011.1 While such beliefs were sincere and well-founded, they ignored the Scripture that tells us that no one knows the day or the hour – only God in heaven. However, Jesus emphatically warned us to watch for the signs of the times so that we would not be overtaken as victims of a thief who comes in the night.

As we begin a new year, we should review and consider the fulfillment of the signs Christ spoke about. It needs to be stated clearly that this is not meant to suggest any time line, but only to increase awareness of the likelihood of Christ’s impending return. For although many prophecies have been fulfilled, that does not mean that we can set any date, for the Lord is not slack in returning but wishing that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Therefore, it is the will of God that the time frame we label as the “end times” very well can last an incalculable period of time until He is satisfied that all that will come to repentance have come to repentance.

Two fulfilled predictions in modern times

While there are many fulfilled prophecies regarding this time period, I will only discuss two.

Daniel 12:4 (NASB) says: “But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” Any soccer mom, or anyone stuck in rush hour traffic, or anyone who has spent time at an airport would be hard-pressed to deny that people are running back and forth all over the place. It is also undeniable that the last two decades have experienced a historically unparalleled increase in knowledge.

Luke 18:8b says: “However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Since 1859, the teachings of Evolution have assaulted the faith of many by challenging the veracity of Scripture, and consequently, the existence of God. As a result, the faith of many has not materialized.

Two key intervals

In addition to fulfilled prophecy, there are two significant time pins that are noteworthy.

1. Daniel 12:11 (NASB): “From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.” Ellis H. Skofield in his book The False Prophet, argues that this abomination is the Dome of the Rock by calculating a year based on 360 days until AD. Thereafter, counting one day for a year, as Daniel’s prophecies established with the birth and death of Christ. Using this formula, 1290 days from 552 BC (the time of Belshazzar) brings you to 688 AD, or the year the Dome of the Rock was built. At that point Muslims took over Israel’s most holy location, which made it impossible to worship on the Temple Mount…and yes, spiritually and in the eyes of the one true God, it is an abomination! (Also see Ezekiel 8:1-8; 16.)

When Israel came back

2. Daniel 7:25 (NASB): ‘He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.” The “he” referred to in this verse is a world leader whom many have labeled the Antichrist, but Scripture also tells us that the spirit of the Antichrist is already at work. Entire books can be written about this demonic spirit(s) and the form(s) it will take. Here we are discussing time pins, which requires a judgment call – or dare I say “an educated guess?” Assuming that Daniel’s original point of reference goes back to the first year of Belshazzar (552 BC), and a time, times, and half a time equates to 2500 years, we arrive at the year 1948, the year Israel once again became a nation.

Part 2 will deal with America’s possible roles in prophecy (including the administration of Donald Trump) and the political signs given in Scripture. Contrary to what many believe, throughout history and as recorded in biblical prophecies, faith systems of all kinds and politics do intertwine. The two time pins mentioned above are both spiritual and political in nature. To be sure, according to the books of Daniel and Revelation, we can expect this duality to continue. Until then, lift up your heads and watch, because your redemption is drawing near. Luke 21:28 NASB.

Editor’s Note:

1Harold Camping’s 2011 prediction failed – twice in one year. He suffered a stroke and died in that year. His Family Radio empire died with him. Your editor noted that Radio Station WFME, the Family Radio affiliate in West Orange, New Jersey, quietly went off the air.

Quote# 123593

Without God, Israel is lost

Since 1948 or for 68 years, Israeli prime ministers – all secularists – have banished God from the domain of statecraft, and with the virtual compliance of the religious parties. May there not be a connection between the absence of God in Israeli statecraft and the absence of wisdom, courage, and Jewish pride among Israeli politicians?

Without God, Israel loses

How is it that Israel, once so powerful in war, succumbed to the gang of terrorists led by Yasser Arafat’s and his successor Mahmoud Abbas? Can it be because Israel’s ruling elites are godless in contrast to these Muslims who never fail to invoke the name of Allah? Never mind their hypocrisy and murderous hearts. Because they sanctified Allah, Muslims advance while Israeli prime ministers, who sanctify nothing, retreat.

The asymmetry between the Muslims and the Jews may be seen in the psychological consequences of their respective goals. Whereas the initial and expressed goal of the Muslim Palestinians is statehood, a goal that arouses Arab pride and spirit, the Jewish goal exemplified by PM Netanyahu is “peaceful coexistence” via the “two state solution,” which arouses Jewish self-effacement, humiliation, and defeatism.

Clearly Israel desperately needs a government whose leaders are animated by a goal rooted in the heritage of the Jewish people. Unlike other nations, Israel knows why it was created. It was created to reveal the infinite wisdom, power, and graciousness of God in every domain of existence. It was created to convey to mankind the example of a nation in which freedom dwells with righteousness, equality with excellence, wealth with beauty, the here and now with love of the Eternal.

But how can Israel pursue so lofty a goal when its leaders want nothing more than “peace,” a euphemism for the absence of violence? How can Israel be a light unto the nations when its leaders are tainted by the egalitarianism of this mundane democratic era? How can Israel sanctify God’s Name when its political and judicial institutions have been severed from Jewish law and values?

What secularism has wrought

Secularists may scoff at these remarks, but seven decades of secular leadership in Israel have not restored Jewish honor or even security. The secular Zionism that established the State is dead. The time has come to bring God back into the domain of statecraft.

I am not proposing theocracy, which has no operational significance in Torah governance. There is no ruling class in Torah Judaism. Never in Jewish history did the Kohanim or misnamed “priests” exercise authority in the daily life of the Jewish people. Judaism is not a clerical religion. In fact, the illustrious Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch has said that the term “religion” is the greatest obstacle to understanding Judaism, which is not a religion so much as a truth-oriented civilization.

I am no admirer of Israel’s religious parties, which typically use the Torah for politics instead of politics for the Torah. Their ungodly collaboration with Israel’s secular elites has brought Israel to its present nadir. They say nothing and do noting while Israeli prime ministers release Arab terrorists and make ignominious concessions to the murderers of Jewish women, men, and children.

If Israeli prime ministers believed in the God of Israel they would have inflicted swift and devastating vengeance on these murderers of our people. Why any Jew should expect peace from Arab despots animated by a Jew-hating, bellicose religion, when Jew-hatred thrives even in peace-loving Europe, is a commentary on the imbecility of the secular democratic mind.

Time to return to God

And so every sensible Jew deplores Israel’s lack of Jewish leadership. Every sensible Jew knows that Israel’s political leaders have betrayed the people’s trust, have surrendered Jewish land contrary to their party principles or campaign promises. Is it not obvious that Israel, steeped in politics and led by a government without God, has become increasingly wretched and helpless?

Hence now is the time to sanctify God’s Name by a massive rejection of Israel’s perfidious and pusillanimous government. Are there no anti-Establishment rabbis with courage enough to come forward and warn our people about the Road Map to Oblivion? Are there no heads of yeshivot with courage enough to come to Jerusalem with hundreds and thousands of students and followers to sanctify God’s Name by saying “Enough”!

Enough of this desecration of God’s Name by yielding to Arab murderers and misconceived American interests! Away with this godless government! Let us here and now form a parallel government in Judea and Samaria and there create an authentic Jewish Republic, one that inspires conviction and courage and calls to its banner all the people of Israel, and does so in the Name and for the sake of God.

Without God Israel is lost!?

Best arguments against homosexuality

The best arguments against homosexuality are as follows:

Top ten arguments

1. Homosexuality is unhealthy, and it's better to encourage people to adopt healthier lifestyles[1] See also: Homosexuality and health
2. It's not pro-life - it leads to various diseases, physical and psychological disorders and early death among those who practice homosexual behavior[2]
3. It's anti-Bible - no other conduct is condemned as much by the Bible as homosexuality[3]
4. It's infringing on more important freedoms, like freedom of religion and speech[4]
5. It's another Leftist political movement, which Communists support[5]
6. It's promoted far too much by the liberal media - if the lifestyle were good, then why would liberal censorship of criticism be necessary?
7. People should be (and have been) able to leave the lifestyle if they want to, so why are homosexuals working hard to ban conversion therapy?
8. Homosexuals are wealthier than heterosexuals, so homosexuals don't need any more handouts like benefits for same-sex couples
9. It's an anti-Christian movement - why aren't homosexual activists suing Muslim or Hindu bakers for not serving same-sex marriage?
10. It's a selfish movement - notice how billionaire homosexuals are not setting up hospitals as Christians have?

Additional arguments

A study by the Canadian government states that "violence was twice as common among homosexual couples compared with heterosexual couples".[6]

1. We should believe in real marriage instead. Homosexual men in so-called same-sex marriages generally engage in sexual relations outside their so-called marriages (see: Homosexuality and promiscuity). Homosexual couples have higher rates of domestic violence (see: Homosexual couples and domestic violence). Pathologists have indicated that homosexual homicides are quite common and leading pathologists have noted that homosexual homicides frequently display brutality/overkill (see: Homosexuality and murder).
2. Gay corruption has become too big of a problem in our country and elsewhere
3. There is no "gay gene" and studies of twins prove this, supporting the idea that it is a lifestyle choice
4. The homosexual agenda is the wrong direction for our country
5. Many horrific crimes have been committed by men caught up in the homosexual lifestyle; there are so many examples of this that listing them here would be futile
6. The homosexual lifestyle increases suicide rates by up to 400%
7. States and local communities should be deciding this, not a few liberal activist "justices" in D.C.
8. Churches have rights too
9. Disordered conduct is the wrong direction for individuals and our Nation
10. Ancient Romans committed many homosexual acts, and as a result for violating the Lord's wishes, the Lord struck down the decadent Empire of Rome, until the Christianization of the Roman Empire

(add to list)

References

1. This argument worries the Left. One hospital recently fired a physician for informing the public about the health risks of homosexuality.
2. Nothing the Left can do about this argument, which resonates well with the increasingly pro-life youth.
3. The Bible even condemns those who approve of homosexuality. See Romans 1:32.
4. The recent attacks on people of faith (like Kim Davis, Colorado baker Jack Phillips, former Atlanta fire chief Kelvan Cochran and Oregon bakers Aaron and Melissa Klein, among others) who oppose homosexuality and same-sex "marriage", which are either not reported in the mainstream media or get twisted to favor the liberal viewpoint when they are reported, bear this truth out.
5. Not surprising, as Communists always want the opposite of what's best for American society, simply for the sake of being contrarian.

Quote# 123588

I have lived alone since 2006 with a brokenheart. I get lonely oftentimes. I envy the man who has a prudent (careful and sensible; marked by sound judgment) wife. I turn to the Lord in fellowship, praying and abiding in the Word. I listen to dozens of sermons each week online. I have forgiven my former spouse, as the Lord commands (Matthew 18:35), but she still wrongfully blames me for everything. That's a heavy burden to unfairly lay upon your husband, blaming him for all of your sins, faults and shortcomings. That's not true Christianity!
