    A DAY TO REMEMBER THEIR SACRIFICE!



    Sunday, May 30, 2010

    A DAY TO REMEMBER THEIR SACRIFICE!

    WHEN? In at least 10 major wars, in 18+ conflict situations from the 1898 Spanish American War to the Persian Gulf War and even to the present War on Terrorism, which is like no other war.

    WHO? More than 1,000,000 lives in the 10 major wars given up for something of greater value, something having a more pressing claim.

    WHY? Not to aggressively seek to get or to gain what someone else has, whether it be land, power or wealth (see James 4:1-3), but to DEFEND our nation “and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America” which is being threatened from within and from without. God's Word opposes internationalism because a one world government opens the door to the total control of a society by a system which cannot and will not do right of and by itself. See Genesis 11:1-9 and Revelation chapters 17-18.

    GOD'S WORD teaches that nations are for restraining and maintaining a balance of power among nations for peaceful existence. A nation may be led to want or to possess what belongs to other nations, but they are hindered from such because of other nations. Each nation is able to maintain the God-given privilege of choosing God and His Word, of marriage, of family, of law and order. The nations, consisting of families, have the right to defend their territories.

    GEORGE WASHINGTON told his troops: “The time is near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human effort will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army.”

    BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: “Liberty will not descend to a people, a people must raise themselves to liberty.” DANIEL WEBSTER: “God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to defend it.” PATRICK HENRY: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?”

    PRINCIPLE: When those who know and remember fail to teach and to display to the following generation their rights, responsibilities and privileges, it is only a matter of time until they, by neglect, fail to appreciate and guard the freedoms American men and women have paid for with the loss of their lives and the loss of their limbs (Judges 2:7, 10, 11).

    As the nation of Israel had the right to choose life and blessing in their land and lives (Deut. 30:19-20) because of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 53; Lev. 16-17), so we can choose Him and the resultant LIFE and BLESSING by an act of our own will: “But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons [children] of God, even to them that believe on His Name.” “He that hath the Son hath LIFE; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” John 1:12; 1 John 5:12.

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    Green Social Pollution and Green Righteousness



    Wednesday, May 26, 2010

    Green Social Pollution and Green Righteousness

    What seems to have a strangle hold on America and the world at present is the godless totalitarian socialistic environmental movement of today. This movement has halted progress and has laid shackles on the capitalistic freedoms at present here in America and in the world. As the environmentalist display their "Green Righteousness" and seek to practice at the same time a relative and godless philosophy when it comes to the Moral Laws of Nature and the Eternal Righteous Absolutes of forever, this "Green Righteousness" movement of environmentalism is seeking to impose its secular will on the world and all it's inhabitants.

    The question at hand is, should we be conservative and conversationalist in the area that we live in? The rhetorical reply is, Yes... Of course! None of us will deny that. We all should do our part to make for a healthier and beneficial environment for all. In fact, many regulations have made America cleaner and better. In that we do not find any fault. What we do find fault with is the green fascist mandates that are crippling our society and shackling our freedoms. What is key for a true healthy society is not fascist green legislation, but the adherence to the moral laws that have been instilled into the creation by Almighty God the Creator.

    "What is key for a true healthy society is not green legislation but the adherence to the moral laws that have been instilled into the creation by Almighty God"

    Notice how hard core green groups such as PETA, Hollywood, the Music Industry, the ACLU and the American secular progressive Left are super radical on regulations on environmental issues and greenology, but are absolutely reprobate in social and sexual morality which has been the key vices which has laid waste this country and our present world (Isaiah 24:5,6; Romans 1:18-32).

    The Two Hands of Greenology

    In one hand, the radical environmentalist oppress with an iron fascist glove the mandates and oppressive green philosophy. On the other hand, they fight tooth and nail against the moral absolutes and the Eternal Righteousness of Almighty God. These two absolutes are crucial to produce a health society and culture. God’s Word states that the creation groans to be free and looks forward to that Day when it will be unleashed from the inhabitants of sinful man (Isa. 24:5,6, Romans 8:22).

    Today's "Green Righteousness" is that attitude and spirit in which all is Machiavellian when done for the furtherance and protection of the earth (ones sensual harmony with the creation). It is this subjective sensual (5 senses driven) “wisdom” and perception which holds in high esteem the evolutionary philosophy of time and chance and valiantly condemns the Judean/Christian Laws of Nature and of Natures God (1 Cor. 1:18-32). Science and godless secular theories are it's dogmas and bible, and this fallen planet is its god (Rom 1:22-26). These seeks to be the world's savior and deliverer from its arch enemy, man. The radical environmentalist attitude and their green righteousness is manifested on how they serve and honor the environment (the creature and creation) and it’s “green” dogmas and mandates (Romans 1:18-32).

    "They fight tooth and nail against moral absolutes and the Righteousness of Almighty God which are crucial to produce a health society and culture"

    What is so astounding about this green philosophy is that while these seek to contain man tendencies to pollute, they are fighting an Eco – war against capitalism and man’s sovereignty here on earth. What is so hypocritical is that these individuals are the greatest polluters of all. Their social pollution of excess and the acceptance of all kinds of sexual deviance is far greater the destroyer of our world and humanity then their little green crusade.

    The Social Pollution of Secularism

    Let us take a look at the social pollution the secularist greener has contributed to just here in America in the last 50 years.

    The withering attacks and devastating fallout from this tyrannical oppressor is formidable. These include 50 million abortions since 1973 (representing a generation of Americans annihilated!), a ravished and wasted society, numberless unwed mothers and fatherless children, broken homes, psychological (mental) and physiological problems, a “red-lining” national guilty conscience (yet a nation unable to blush), a divorce rate higher than 50%, HIV/ AIDS and its related devastation, countless STD’s, rampant teen and college age promiscuity and unwanted pregnancies, increasing rapes, violence and murders, sex-trafficking, child porn and porn addiction (i.e., 70% of the total internet given over to porn in support of a 4 billion dollar-a-year porn industry), drug addictions, alcoholism, mass poverty, trillions of dollars spent for unaccountable social programs, promotion in government schools, government funding, rampant adultery, prostitution, approved red light districts, increased acceptance and approval of the mental and physiological disorder known as sodomy (homosexuality),….and on and on! Sexual addiction is the master oppressor today of Adam’s fallen race (see Romans 1:18-32, 5:12-19). Drug addiction, alcoholism and barbiturate addiction pales in comparison to this reigning despot. No nation has ever recovered from this self-indulging and self-gratifying addiction. How will ours be any different?

    The Victims of the Sexual Revelation

    Unfortunately, the greatest victims of this oppressive tyrant are children. These are absolutely ravished by the horrific consequences that followed in the wake of this super tsunami called the Sexual Revolution of the 60’s. Women have also been shackled and enslaved in the repercussions from this decadent “Revolution.” There is nothing truly “liberating” about it at all. How could it be that the mothers (i.e., women) are the leading killing genocidal machines since 1973? A great number of women today in the U.S. are given over to reprobate practices of licentiousness, and have prostituted their bodies - and their humanity - to any individual in a vain attempt to satisfy their famished souls.Women have always been a good moral barometer in a given society. When they are degraded to base lewdness and licentious practices, a society suffers greatly. When women are at their lowest estate so also is the nation.
    ,
    The Master Panderer and His Game Plan

    Lucifer is the despotic tyrant and oppressor of Adam’s fallen race. He fully understands his unregenerate human slaves (Eph 2:1-3; Heb 2:14-15). He is the “supreme hunter” of souls (Isa. 14:16-17; Ezek. 28:19; Luke 4:5-6; 2 Cor. 4:34; 1 Peter 5:8). He fully comprehends the fallen nature of humanity and our sensual desires, which are governed and dominated by our 5 physical senses. He knows how to manipulate, entice, bait, snare and catch his prey for his twisted will (Eph 6:11-12). He has been an “active observer” of the sins of humanity for ~ 6000 years (see Gal 5:19-21), and he knows that once immoral lusts and sexual vices have taken hold and snared his prey, he’s accomplished his task.

    God Calls Out To You

    In these increasingly debauched and licentious days, Almighty God calls for all to be saved and delivered from the wrath to come (1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9). Have you received into your heart and life the Savior of the world - the Lord Jesus Christ - as your personal Savior from your transgressions against Almighty God and His righteousness?

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

    But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12).

    Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me (Rev. 3:20).

    The only solution to the depraved and ever-growing lawlessness of the world we are living in today is found in the Person of Jesus Christ. He is the ONLY ONE who can rescue humanity from the end result of sin and lawlessness. May you place your trust and hope in Him today. You will never be the same!The

    The Fall of the Global Markets and the Rise of the Anti-Christ



    Friday, May 21, 2010

    The Fall of the Global Markets and the Rise of the Anti-Christ

    Never in the history of the “global markets” has so much been at stake. Markets across the world are on the verge of utter collapse. This is not a hyper, over-the-top assessment or a pessimistic “doom and gloom” perspective. This is only the current reality that many do not want to face.

    The current global markets are extremely volatile and highly unstable, reflecting doubt and pessimism about what the future holds in regard to their currencies. In view of the economic crisis in Greece, the Euro at present is tanking hard and is sending great panic and uncertainty throughout the world markets. These markets all affect each other like a “chain gang.” When one is thrown overboard, they all go with it.

    "They are doing everything in their power to delay what they know in their hearts is coming, a worldwide global collapse of the markets and currencies"

    The British pound is on the verge of being akin to toilet paper. The American dollar is weakening at alarming rates. The price of gold has skyrocketed to new all-time highs. The escalating price of gold shows that people are abandoning the currencies of the world while looking for a more sound financial investment that offers better security. What is most insane here is that many of the world leaders have their “heads in the sand” and are trying to be optimistic despite the sobering realities at hand. They are doing everything in their power to delay what they know in their hearts is coming, a worldwide global collapse of the markets and currencies. What is also devious is that somewhere - in the smoked-filled back rooms - are opportunists just waiting to fill the void that will be left after a global collapse with a seizure of absolute power and fascist control. The time honored principle holds that history always repeats itself and nothing is new under the sun (Eccl. 1:9).

    The financial crisis in Greece is just a small microcosm of what is coming our way. As countries are spending and printing more currency than the worth it possesses, national debts are skyrocketing. The realities are dreadfully sobering. The present markets are so unstable that a significant crisis could send the markets into a freefall of doom. Just one key act of terrorism, just one key natural disaster, just one key global crisis will cause a chain reaction of panic and fear that will erupt into the world markets and propel them into a fatal tailspin which will bankrupt the world. How close have we actually been in avoiding these catalytic acts in America these last couple of years? (link)

    Those Who Have Eyes to See

    For the serious student of the Bible - especially those who study Biblical prophecy and end- time events – the table is fully set for the Rapture of the Church (i.e., the redeemed in Christ) and the dreadful Day of the Lord (Mark 13:28-29). As global events continue to come to light in a more clear and focused picture, it is easier and easier to see that the Day of the Lord is at hand. Sadly, as we are at the very doorstep of these events, the majority of world is absolutely oblivious to and clueless about what is to soon transpire. They remain comfortably numb in their delusional, narcissistic and subjective state of ignorance and feel optimistically secure and protected in their paper-walled houses as the world is about to go headlong off a cliff.

    However, the Word of God states:

    For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 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 (1 Thess. 5:2-3).
    .
    The Cause and The Effect

    When the Dollar and Euro finally implode under the massive weight of debt, it will send a chain reaction throughout the global markets. Since the markets are all interwoven, they will go down like a house of cards. The world’s reaction will be that of absolute fear and panic. This fear and panic will send shock waves through the world’s investors, markets and traders causing even greater trauma and ruin. There are only two securities in this world that people can trust in. One is money (or mammon) and the other is the Person of Almighty God. An individual can only serve just one of them (Matt 6:24). Sadly, it is in the “almighty dollar” (and other currencies) that most of mankind puts its surety (trust) and hope. In the end money will never redeem our bankrupt souls. Only the precious blood of God’s Lamb can truly redeem us (Col 1:20). In the end the precious blood of the Lamb is the most vital security for both time and eternity.

    With the peace and security of the world in great jeopardy and trouble and turmoil all around, the world’s inhabitants will be quite willing to turn over their rights, freedom and national sovereignty. They will hand over all authority to the one who promises to restore that which has been decimated. It is at this point that a world leader will arise in Europe to a place of prominence, and he will seek to restore prosperity by creating a new world order (Dan. 7:8, 20, 25; 9:25, 11:36-39; 2 Thess. 2:2-12; Rev. 6:1-2; 13). The climatic end result of this allegiance will be the “Mark of the Beast” Rev 13:16-18.
    /
    "It is at this point that a world leader will arise in Europe to a place of prominence, and he will seek to restore prosperity by creating a new world order"
    .
    With war looming (Rev. 6:1-8) and global economic collapse at hand, the world’s masses will seek for one with all the solutions and answers to the crisis of all crises. They will be quite willing to turn over their liberties and freedoms in a desperate attempt to stabilize the world and salvage as much as they can to insure a “bright and hopeful” future. Little will they know that they in so doing will reap eternal consequences by giving their allegiance to him (Matt 24; Rev. 13, 14: 9-11).

    The Master Puppet Master

    Lucifer, the master Politian and original Fascist, knows all too well how the game is played. He has been practicing for a long time, waiting patiently for the precise moment to bring forth his master plan and global unity. That plan is global worship for himself (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12) and global war against Almighty God (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 13:7; 16:13-16; 17:14a).
    ,
    "As the world at this time is in fatalistic panic and dire need, Lucifer will provide them with his man of lawlessness, i.e., the Anti – Christ"
    .
    There is no greater way to grab power and install radical laws and ruthless policies than when a people and nation are at the very place of poverty and suffering. In this place they are consumed by their daily needs and are quite willing to even sell their souls to the devil for a piece of meat or a loaf of bread. As the world at this time is in fatalistic panic and dire need, Lucifer will provide them with his man of lawlessness, i.e., the Anti – Christ (Rev. 13). Since they have rejected natural laws and the eternal, righteous absolutes of Almighty God and His saving grace, the world’s inhabitants will be in a state of spiritual darkness and ripe for making a deal with the Devil himself to their doom and eternal ruin (Matt. 25:41). At this point man’s casual unbelief will be channeled and focused into a powerful laser beam of violence and absolute defiance against Almighty God and His program (2 Thess. 2:2-12).

    Such events as we are seeing and witnessing today - including the pending global market collapse - are the ever increasing sounds of the steps of the soon coming Day of the Lord.

    How Will You Spend Your Dollar?

    My friends, this life is but a dollar bill easily spent, giving but little satisfaction in doing so. We are here for just a brief moment, and then we are gone (Eccl. 1:1-3). To put “all of our eggs” into the temporal and doomed basket of this life is the height of insanity, rebellion and unbelief. Eternity is our future and we must all be ready for it on God’s terms, which are holiness and perfect righteousness. That righteousness is only found in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:2-4).
    ,
    "This life is but a dollar bill easily spent, giving but little satisfaction in doing so"

    As these darkening and difficult days come to a close and the morning lights are shining on the horizon of the Kingdom of Heaven, may you be sure to know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior! Your final destiny - and your ultimate destination - depends on your choice. Place your trust in Him today; you will never be the same!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is surely at hand!

    The Godless Humanitarian Ideology



    Wednesday, May 19, 2010

    The Godless Humanitarian Ideology

    As defined by Wikipedia: “In its most general form, humanitarianism is an ethic of kindness, benevolence and sympathy extended universally and impartially to all human beings. Humanitarianism has been an evolving concept historically but universality is a common element in its evolution. NO DISTINCTION is to be made in the face of human suffering or abuse on grounds of gender, tribal, caste, religious or national divisions.” (Note: words capitalized are for emphasis only and are not in the original quote.)

    Good - God = 0

    Many humanitarians preach a social gospel and teach the “golden rule,” but what a great many humanitarians neglect and reject are the key foundational moral and natural laws for a healthy and prosperous society. If they adhered to and preached such virtues the world would be a totally different place. The majority of individuals who practice this type of humanitarianism are the very ones who praise and support oppressive dictators and socialistic dominance. They are the ones who hate moral laws and absolutes. As a matter of fact, they will fight tooth and nail to preserve their subjective agenda of “human rights.” These so-called "rights" are simply the promotion and practice of transgressing God-ordained moral laws. These individuals hold hands with their like-minded fellows to seek a world without the Rule and Law of Almighty God, their Creator and Sustainer.

    "These individuals hold hands with their like-minded fellows to seek a world without the Rule and Law of Almighty God, their Creator and Sustainer."

    When hypocritical, godless elites from Hollywood and the decadent music industry - who have been the catalysts for the destruction of American culture and society - seek to get together for a relief project, expect to find the godless “Eros-love” and the god (Lucifer) of this world behind it (Rom. 1:28-32; 2 Cor. 4:3; Eph. 2:2; 1 John 4:3). When the majority of these artists who have single-handedly promoted and encouraged all forms of godless and immoral behavior come together and sing “We are the world,” the spirit and mood is no different than that of the Babel rebellion of over 4200 years ago (Gen. 11:1-9; Rom. 1:18-32). No matter how sincere and noble the intentions might be, all help and aid must always be founded and rooted in REALITY and TRUTH.

    Godless Unity

    The theme and spirit of the "I Like to Buy the World a Coke" or the “We are the World” movement is rooted in nothing less than the global unification, Unitarianism and relativistic logic which rejects Almighty God as their Creator, Lord and Redeemer (Psalm 2:1-3; 14:1-6; Rom. 1:21). These are willingly ignorant about the Day of Lord which is at hand, and remain willfully oblivious to the Day of Judgment in which all will give a final account to their Creator (Acts 17:20; Rom. 1:32; 10:2-4). They chase after the illusion that states we can do anything or live any way we want and still achieve our perfect lawless and godless social utopia at last. This thought process is the height of insanity, vanity and void of all common sense logic (Eccl. 6; Mark 8:36; Rom. 1:21, 28).

    This world in which we live is a fallen world (Rom 5:12-19), ravished by the violations of God’s natural and spiritual laws (Isaiah 24:5). Godless man - no matter how noble, no matter how virtuous, no matter how full of good intentions - can never and will never bring about an utopian world peace. This is impossible apart from Almighty God and His Saving Grace. All the good intentions and humanitarian efforts of humanity are vanity (Eccl. 1:4, 4:4). In light of our true and most desperate need, we need Almighty God’s salvation and deliverance from the wrath which is to come (John 3:16-17; Rom. 7:24, 25; 2 Thess. 1:8-10).A broken egg world (Romans 3:23) can never be fixed by broken egg humanity. How can imperfection create perfection? How can chaos and anarchy bring about peace and harmony? These are just basic common sense laws that humanity will not address. Humanity has a "terminal fixation" on things belonging to the temporal confines of time (i.e., that which has a beginning and an end). At the same time, it has absolutely NO CONCEPT of the things of eternity and its future destiny therein.

    "How can imperfection create perfection? How can chaos and anarchy bring about peace and harmony? These are just basic common sense laws that humanity will NOT address"

    Just a note of explanation here:OF COURSE we should do all we can to help those who are oppressed and devastated by the ravishing of this fallen world, but that in and by itself will NEVER SAVE anyone in the Day of Judgment or deliver anyone from the reign of Death in this fallen world. Only an “outside intervention” from Almighty God can deliver us from the terror of death and His wrath (John 3:36; Rom. 4:25; 5:6-8 )!

    Devine Intervention

    2000 years ago God sent His Son, to pay the price for our trespasses and to deliver us from this present fallen world (John 3:16-17, Gal. 1:4). God the Father sent His Son not to judge us but to deliver us from our ruin (Romans 7:24, 25). Jesus came to save. It is when we reject His saving grace that in the end He becomes our Judge.

    This world is bankrupt and ruined by man’s transgressions (Isa 24:5,6). Once one see’s these realities he will see his desperate need for God’s mercy and saving grace.

    As these days are coming to an end and as the world falls deeper into decadence and ruin, may I ask you this very sobering question? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your PERSONAL Savior? All depends on it. Through Christ, God has redeemed the world to Himself and will restore it for a 1000 years in peace and righteousness (Isa. 11). Then for all eternity will we – who know Almighty God’s saving grace – will reign with Him for ever and ever (Rev 22:1-5).

    My friend, what hope there is in Almighty God! Place your trust in Him today. You will never be the same!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    The Base World of Hollywood and the Global Film Industry (The Cannes’ Roman Polanski Petition)



    Monday, May 17, 2010

    The Base World of Hollywood and the Global Film Industry (The Cannes’ Roman Polanski Petition)

    Morality and absolutes do not exist in the base world of today’s Hollywood, which rejects the moral boundaries of the natural laws of Almighty God and His eternal, righteous (perfect) absolutes. In their reprobate mind, those who profess and practice these absolutes are evil and fascist (1 Peter 3:16). What further proof do we need than a petition for Roman Polanski? Over 100 individuals in the filmmaking community recently signed a document called “Polanski’s Petition.” For those who do not know who Roman Polanski is and what he has done, he raped a 13-year old girl in 1977 and fled the country to his native France to escape the charges brought against him. The Cannes Film Festival is the “holy of holies” for the godless elite. It is where the latest independent films describing the “cutting edge” of the licentious and debauched fantasy world make their début.

    "Hollywood, which rejects the moral boundaries of the natural laws of Almighty God and His eternal, righteous (perfect) absolutes"

    Today’s film industry absolutely despises Judean/ Christian values and any who hold them dear. Those Conservatives who believe their Bibles and hold to traditional, Judean/ Christian values - they are the ones who are usually portrayed as fascist, evil, intolerant and tyrannical monsters. These filmmakers have a godless bias and a slanderous agenda against such, and by their industry they seek to caricature, slander, defame and demonize all who line up with the Biblical account of Christianity. The Judean/ Christian culture is always the butt of their jokes and the villain of their stories.

    The very ideals in which Hollywood and the film industry abhors and despises (John 3:19-20) are the very ideals which condemn Hollywood’s decadent lifestyles, weighing heavily on their guilty consciences.

    Listen to what the Bible teaches about such individuals:

    But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves (Jude 1:10).

    But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption (2 Peter 2:12).

    Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (Philip. 3:19).

    And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them (Romans 1:28-32).

    The Bizarro World of Hollywood

    In the “Bizarro World” culture of Hollywood’s narcissistic elites, it is popular to pontificate against any who practice morality and faith in Almighty God. At the same time, the promotion of the basest of ideals is preferred (e.g., adultery, sodomy and multiplying marriages). They actually see themselves as role models and cultural trend-setters to be followed and worshiped in lockstep. Hollywood’s glamorization and glorification of youthful beauty and human talent is just a thin veil of flesh housing the sewer-like stench of their filthy deeds and superficial soul (Jer. 17:9; Matt. 15:16-20; Jude 1:10). Many today are deceived by this attractive cloak. They see only the tangible, visible appearance, while they are blind to their own wicked heart and godless actions (1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-6; Jude 1:4).

    "Woe unto you Hollywood!"

    Woe unto you Hollywood! Woe unto all that call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20). They will not get by or away with it, and they will find it most sobering when they will have to give an account in the Day of Judgment to Almighty God! (Rev. 20:11-15)
    It is our sincere desire that all of those in Hollywood would turn from their godless ways and look to Almighty God for His grace, mercy and forgiveness. All of God’s children who have been redeemed in Christ have done so and can testify to this fact (2 Cor. 5:17-19; Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:1-9).
    ,
    We can now sing from our hearts:
    .
    Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me,I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see.
    .
    In the end, Christ will either be our Savior or our Judge. Either way, it is our personal choice. Which do you prefer, and are you prepared to live with the consequences of your decision? Remember that if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    Illegal Immigration in America and Its Lawless Spirit



    Tuesday, May 11, 2010

    Illegal Immigration in America and Its Lawless Spirit

    The current migration of foreigners seeking to enter into the United States illegally is being backed and supported by Obama, the Left and also Moderates (which was also previously supported by the Bush Administration, by the way).

    The supporters of illegal immigration have their own deranged reasoning and agenda in backing this endeavor, but it is one that is based on lawlessness and against the very fiber of the Constitution of the United States.
    /
    "This Spirit of Lawlessness abounds in many different areas today, and is quite prevalent throughout our land"

    This Spirit of Lawlessness abounds in many different areas today, and is quite prevalent throughout our land. This spirit pervades our government in Washington D.C., the states, local municipalities, our culture and society. This arrogant disregard of Natural Laws and America’s Constitutional Law is leading this country that was founded upon Judean/ Christian values and laws into a dire state of anarchy.

    These “American Apostates” are dominated by a narcissistic spirit, emotionally driven without logic and common sense. These see any kind of laws - especially those ordained by Almighty God (both spiritual and natural) - as fascist, tyrannical and despotic. As a little child that wants what it wants no matter what, so are these adults addicted to narcissistic traits and desires. God’s Word states that in the Last Days this mood would dominate the world, setting the stage for the Man of Lawlessness, Lucifer’s Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-12; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

    The most insane thing is that in their core delusional belief of relativism, lawlessness and godlessness, they seek to establish and create a global utopian system of harmony and peace. When eternal absolutes and natural laws are disregarded and abandoned, how can any have “harmony and peace” with anyone else (Isa. 24:5-6; 48:22; 57:20)? Even an ignorant fisherman can see that it is absolutely impossible! All that will be the result is violence, decadence and bloodshed. The ~ 6,000 years of human history have amply demonstrated that fact (Isa. 59:7; Romans 3:9-23). It is this spirit of antichrist (1 John 2:18, 22) that is currently setting the global stage for the world’s final showdown with Almighty God at the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2; Zech. 14:2-3; Rev. 16:13-16).

    "It is this spirit of antichrist that is currently setting the global stage for the world’s final showdown with Almighty God at the Battle of Armageddon"

    Our Nation is a nation of the rule of Law that was based on “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” This nation is also a nation of immigrants. American citizenship has always been obtained by the course of American law. As this pro-illegal immigration agenda is pushed in place by the Leftist and Moderates of America, expect a state of anarchy and lawlessness to abound at unprecedented levels. It is what MUST BE in these last days. The Day of the Lord is at hand!

    How Almighty God looks at Illegal Immigration

    It is more than safe to say that absolutely NO “illegal aliens” (i.e., unrighteous sinners) will enter into Almighty God’s Holy and Righteous (Perfect) Heaven (1 Cor. 6:9-10).

    Multitudes of individuals today practice a pluralistic, relativistic and lawless form of apostate “Biblical Christianity” (a.k.a. religious Christendom) that contradicts the basic and fundamental teachings of the Holy Scriptures. In addition, the world’s inhabitants practice all different forms of spiritual ideologies and Babelologies (religions) that are godless and lawless (Romans 1:18-32). Such individuals who reject Almighty God’s salvation and righteous remedies for their lost (unregenerate) condition will die in their sins and trespasses unless they repent. Their fate awaits them in Almighty God’s eternal prison house called the Lake of Fire in eternity (Rev. 20:14-15). This reality is a hard pill to swallow, is it not? This is so sobering and devastating that multitudes choose not to confront it (John 3:18-21). Instead, these “Babelites” attempt to establish their own absolutes and delusional fantasies about Almighty God’s Heaven, which is actually and factually in direct opposition to it. In his vain attempt, Lucifer attempted to do just that in attempting a Heavenly coup. This only produced his eternal “ouster” from Heaven to be condemned forever in Almighty God’s eternal prison - the Lake of Fire (Isa. 14:12-16, Ezek. 28:14-18; John 8:44; Rev. 20:10).

    "Multitudes of fallen humanity seek also to break down the gates of Almighty God’s Heaven and enter in illegally and unlawfully"

    Multitudes of fallen humanity seek also to break down the gates of Almighty God’s Heaven and enter in illegally and unlawfully. Unlike America’s failing immigration problems, Almighty God will have none of these problems (cf. Matt. 22:11-13)! His Eternal Person and Righteousness will be upheld forever, and none shall override or alter His Eternal Absolutes and Standards one single bit. This is a comforting truth for the redeemed of God and a horrific reality for those who are lost.

    I Knew You Not!

    Read what Jesus will share with those in that Day when He comes to set up His Kingdom on earth (Matt 25:31-46).

    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (or lawlessness, Matt 7:21-23).

    Read what also the Bible teaches about what will NOT be in God’s Holy Heaven.

    Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood (imperfect, unregenerate humanity) cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption (1 Cor. 15:50).

    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10).

    And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life (Rev. 21:27).

    Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie (Rev. 22:14-15).

    Nothing that violates or transgresses Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES will enter into God’s eternal abode. My friend, we are doomed if left to our merits and godless unregenerated state. The Apostle Paul (Saul of Tarsus) cried out, O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (Romans 7:24).

    The Apostle Peter cried, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord (Luke 5:8b).

    Isaiah exclaimed, Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts (Isaiah 6:5).

    However real and bad the condition of man is, dear reader, the Bible contains this wonderful promise:

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

    Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (Gal. 1:4).

    For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18).

    And he is the propitiation (satisfaction for the righteous demands of Almighty God) for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2).

    For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (Romans 10:4).

    Only in Christ is found the righteousness that we so desperately need to enter into Almighty God’s Holy and Perfect Heaven. We can NEVER illegally enter into Almighty God's holy Heaven. It is only through God’s Son that we have forgiveness of sins and fellowship with God the Father. It is in Christ that we have true sonship (John 1:12; Gal. 3:26) and citizenship (Eph. 2:19; Philip. 3:20) in God’s glorious righteous Heaven forever (Rev 22:5).

    "We can NEVER illegally enter Almighty God's holy Heaven. It is only through God’s Son that we have forgiveness of sins and fellowship with God the Father"

    That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor. 1:29-30).

    Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? It is through Christ alone that we have bold access into the presence of God and gain valid citizenship in Heaven. My friend, be sure that you are trusting in Almighty God’s Son as taught in the Holy Scriptures, for your eternal destiny depends on it. Place your trust in Him today. You will NEVER be the same!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    Babelology - Ideologies and Their Origins



    Thursday, May 6, 2010

    Babelology - Ideologies and Their Origins

    Babelology is the delusional, godless ideology and philosophy (religious or political) that is outworked and practiced here in time by unregenerate (i.e., Fallen) man (see Romans 7:15-24; 8:5-8). This vain ideology seeks to exclude the reality of Almighty God - His Word, His Attributes, His Absolutes, His Natural Laws, His Righteousness, His Salvation, His Judgment and His Sovereignty as Creator - from one’s thoughts and actions. It is manifested in a life led by self-will, ruled and dominated by man's fallen nature marred by sin (Romans 5:12,19; 8:5-8; Gal. 5:16-17) and a deceived heart (Jer. 17:9). Unbelief (godlessness) is one of its main fruits (Matt 15:16-20; Gal 5:19-21; 6:7-8). During the whole time of earth’s history (which Biblically is approximately 6000 years), Babelology has expressed itself through human defiance and unbelief (see Romans 1:18-22).

    "This vain ideology seeks to exclude the reality of Almighty God - His Word, His Attributes, His Absolutes, His Natural Laws, His Righteousness, His Salvation, His Judgment and His Sovereignty as Creator - from one’s thoughts and actions"

    Babelology may be found in many different religious and political manners and forms (Left/ Right, Subjective/ Objective, Absolute/ Relative, etc.), and purports that man can exist in time and eternity without a vital relationship to the Eternal Creator and Sustainer established in truth and righteousness (Rom. 1:23-32). It is an existence that functions in darkness - not in light, in error - not in truth, in unrighteousness - not in righteousness, and in godlessness - not in godliness. The end result of this delusion is the absolute damnation and eternal ruin of its practitioner in Almighty God’s eternal prison for rebellious (lost) men and angels: Hell, or the Lake of Fire (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; 1 Cor. 15:50; Rev 20:11-15; 21:8,27; 22:11).

    Mother Babel - The Originator of Ideologies "Religious and Political"
    n
    Ever since the Tower of Babel rebellion about 4,200 years ago (Gen 11:1-9), the vast majority of mankind has been governed and ruled by this godless political and religious system. This idolatrous ideology has indeed developed and deepened throughout the world system for ~ 4,200 years. Civilizations and cultures, ideologies and philosophies, religions and societies, cities and nations, morals and traditions have all sprung forth from this event. God in His judgment scattered the people (Gen 11:8-10; Deut. 32:7-8) to the “four corners” of the earth. It is these God-rejecting rebellious seeds - planted by the founders of Babel - that now dominates the world. The great hope and aim of this godless ideology is to achieve a global Utopia in which man's fallen nature and the fallen creation will be in harmony with one another. This Godless philosophy and hope is absolutely doomed to dismal failure (Rom. 8:20-22, 1 Cor. 1:18-31).
    ;
    "This idolatrous ideology has indeed developed and deepened throughout the world system for 4,200 years"

    “One must look outside the box of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word! Then and only then can one find the answers of life, and see the reality of what life and existence in time and eternity is all about.” (see 1 Kings 8:60; Isaiah 45:21-24; John 14:6)
    /
    Almighty God is the reality of time and eternity! All gods, ideologies, philosophies and traditions are absolutely bankrupt and an abomination before Him (Exodus 20:3; Deut. 4:23-25). Almighty God’s Word states:

    I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me (Isaiah 45:5a).

    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

    Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).

    For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).

    Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Psalm 119:160).

    The Bible states that Man must be rescued from his fallen humanity (i.e., lost condition). This is achieved when one puts their trust and faith in the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ (Romans 7:24, Acts 16:30-31). In Christ is found all the provision for the sinful soul (1 Cor. 1:30).

    Almighty God will one day remove this fallen world (1 Peter 2:7-13; 1 John 2:15-17) and create a new Heavens and a new Earth (Isaiah 65:17; Rev.21:1). Then, and only then, will all things be redeemed and in harmony with Almighty God, the Creator of all (1 Cor. 15:26-28; Rev. 21; 22:1-5).

    In these last days come out of the godless ideologies of the day - religious and political - and put your sole trust in the God of Truth and Reality (2 Cor. 6:17-18)! Your hope will be sure and you will never be the same!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    Global Calamity - The Birth Pangs For The Coming Day of the Lord



    Monday, May 3, 2010

    Global Calamity - The Birth Pangs For The Coming Day of the Lord

    Today, as the global events and the godless out workings of base (corrupt) man continue at a “breakneck” speed, the stage is being set for the horrific events on the horizon called “The Tribulation Period”, or “The Day of the Lord” (Matt. 24:21-22). The entire world - including America - will be absolutely oblivious to the realities and dire consequences of events to unfold during that time. Ever since the civilization of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9), the world has basically lived in a godless delusion of apathy and subjective narcissism. They have willfully rejected the eternal ordinances of Almighty God and their ultimate accountability to Him. As the terrible calamity of 9-11 overtook, shocked and stunned our nation, so also will be the commencement of horrific events on a global scale that are due to transpire in that terrible time called “The Day of the Lord.”

    "The entire world - including America - will be absolutely oblivious to the realities and dire consequences of events to unfold during that time"
    ,
    One of the most sobering passages in the Holy Scripture is from the Book of Proverbs in chapter 1, verses 24-31. This passage speaks about those who willingly reject reality and live in a spiritually/ mentally drunken delusion (Isaiah 24:5, Rev. 17:2). When evil and anguish come upon these individuals, they are in a total panic because they have rejected absolutes (reality) and truth (wisdom). The consequences of these actions will be their swift destruction on account of their doings. God’s Word States:

    Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind (a powerful tornado); when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices (Proverbs 1:24-31).

    So will be the mindset of those during the time when the Day of the Lord commences. These will seek God to render a godless remedy and an unrighteous solution for their consequences and dilemmas. In that day of their calamity they will still reject Almighty God’s solutions and deliverance. These individuals have no heart for the absolute truths and realities of time and eternity. They are poisoned with bitterness and filled with violence. They posses only a godless, nature rooted in delusion, lust and visions of a temporal (earthly) habitation. They are oblivious to their eternal destiny and will not repent of their godless transgression and be saved, even after all these horrific tribulation events transpire on the earth (Isa 24; John 3:17-19; 2 Thess. 2:11-12; Rev. 9:20-21; 16:9).

    The Day of the Lord!

    The “Day of the Lord” is an ongoing theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments. The exact phrase “Day of the Lord” is mentioned twenty-eight times throughout the two books. Moreover, the phrases “In That Day”, “The Day” and “The Great Day” also refer to the “Day of the Lord” and are mentioned over seventy times throughout the Old and New Testaments. The underlying theme of all of them is the judgment of God. (1)

    This Day will commence directly after the Rapture of the Church, which will leave the inhabitants of the earth - especially America – bewildered, astonished and horrified. Following the removal of those who have a saving relationship to God in reality and Biblical truth, “The Day of the Lord” commences with the signing of a peace treaty with Israel and the nations of the Middle East (Dan 9:27). This peace treaty (covenant) will be strengthened and enforced by none other than the Man of Lawlessness – Lucifer’s global fascist, the Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:8-9). This time is dominated by the darkness of human delusion, godless insanity and lawlessness (Isa. 2:12-22; Ezek. 13:5; Joel 1:15; 2:1-11; Zeph. 1:7, 14; Zech. 13:1; Matt. 24).

    “The Day of the Lord” commences with the signing of a peace treaty with Israel and the nations of the Middle East"

    The Word of Almighty God states the warning message that this Day will overtake the whole world, lying in its utter narcissistic unbelieving slumber, as a thief in the night!

    For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 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 (1 Thess. 5:2-3).

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10).
    .
    Warning Sirens On Deaf Ears

    Even today the signs and warning sirens are loudly roaring. The shofar (ram’s horn) blast of alert is piercing into every facet of civilization. While the Biblical evidence is overwhelming with events transpiring daily, the masses of humanity go about their narcissistic lives with a deaf ear turned to the warning cries of those who comprehend what is coming.

    Even now, how true is Proverbs 1:24-31 of those in this day. How will they escape such global calamity? My friend, this if very sobering: they will not (1 Thess. 5:3b)!

    My friend, today as you hear this message of warning, harden not your hearts to the eternal love and strong hand of deliverance found in Almighty God’s Savior for the world, the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb 4:2). Make a strong and valiant attempt to be objective about the real reality and true condition of fallen (unregenerate) man. Six thousand years of human history attests to the fact of man’s violent attitude and godless actions. How can man bring about a global utopia from the wretched state in which they exist?
    ,
    "While the Biblical evidence is overwhelming with events transpiring daily, the masses of humanity go about their narcissistic lives with a deaf ear"
    m
    Before the foundation of the world, Almighty God already had the remedy and solution for Adam’s fallen race (Rom. 5:12-19; 1 Peter 1:18-20; Rev. 13:8). The Bible states: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (John 3:16-17).

    Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father (Gal 1:4).

    Oh my Friend, what hope there is! What love divine! What deliverance from the godless ramifications of fallen humanity! Almighty God has a plan and purpose for your life here in time and a glorious eternal future for you free from the tyranny of sin and the fallen effects of this broken world.

    "How can man bring about a global utopia from the wretched state in which they exist?"
    .
    As surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, the events of “The Day of the Lord” will take place! Be not a scoffer or mocker of the warnings from God’s Infallible and Inspired Word (2 Peter 3:3, Jude 1:18).

    We have already seen and experienced the horrific events that transpired on September 11, 2001. May we hear with our ears the message and reality of the coming global day of wrath and not dismiss it as foolish heresay.
    .
    The Only Hope!

    Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, as the Holy Scriptures teach? If not, my friend, place your eternal destiny in His eternal hands. He loves you and wants to save you from the wrath to come. My friend, do you have ears to hear God’s call to you (Rom 10:17, Heb 4:2, Rev 13:9)? Place your trust in Him today. My friend, on the authority of God’s Word you will never be the same!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

    The Greece Financial Crisis and the E.U. – A Biblical Perspective



    Saturday, May 1, 2010

    The Greece Financial Crisis and the E.U. – A Biblical Perspective

    Following today's radio interview with Jimmy DeYoung's Prophecy Today, I thought I would send out a CNBC to expand on my comments on the Greek Crisis. This is not an in depth study, just quick thoughts to help you understand what is happening. Unlike most of my CNBC, this will only cover that subject. So if you are not interested in the coming global empire of Daniel 7, the EU, single world currency, and the Greek financial crisis, you may wish to skip this newsletter.

    Many have enquired as to my thoughts about Greece and its financial difficulties in the European Union. I would begin by pointing out that the current financial problem of Greece is a result of massive past spending and social programs in the country. Greece's total debt as a percent of its Gross Domestic Product (ability to produce) is at 115.1%. That means that technically, Greece can never fully repay its debt without some adjustment of the amounts owed.

    Added to this problem is the fact that its annual budget has a deficit of 13.6%. This far exceeds the Eurozone maximum of 3%. (The Eurozone consists of the 16 EU nations using the euro for its currency.) Again, this means simply that not only has Greece spent too much in the past, but just paying the interest, prevents them from ever getting ahead.

    Normally a government tries to borrow money by selling bonds; to pay its current debts while reducing spending. Unfortunately for Greece, no one wants to buy the bonds unless Greece offers a very high rate of return to the investor. In other words, they want a big payback if they are going to risk investing in Greece. But various investment advisories now indicate that Greek bonds are junk and as a result has led to the fear that investors will lose money.

    Both the European Union's Eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund have offered to help bailout Greece. The IMF is an international organization that oversees the global financial system. It is headquartered in Washington and consists of 186 countries, including the United States. It is a result of the Benton Woods Agreement of 1944 (see CMI Whitepaper 1 -Gearing up the Economy for the Tribulation?).

    Were Greece the only country seeking a bailout, the problem would be handled relatively easily. But many more countries are following a similar financial road, including the United States. The result is a fear of a domino effect within the Eurozone; specifically Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain. The true danger is if Spain defaults. Spain's economy is so large (5x that of Greece) that it failure could impact the financial world of the entire European Union and ultimately across the globe. Bailout appears prohibitive because of the size of Spain's potential failure.

    The Current Situation

    The EU (basically Germany and France) and the IMF are working on the final agreement to help Greece. In addition, the Greek government recently has initiated many cost reduction programs. As a result tens of thousands (mostly government workers and unions) have gathered in Athens to protest the government cutbacks. The tensions have made the government leery of further cost cutting reforms. Suggesting a possible domino effect, Portugal's credit rating has just been lowered, along with Spain's rating (lowered from AA+ to AA).

    Possible Scenarios

    1. Best case scenario: a $59.4 bn bailout for Greece that is united with Greek government cutbacks. The result - it would give Greece some "wiggleroom" to work on long-term solutions.

    2. Debt restructuring: telling the creditors that they will get some of their money back. It is estimated that they could lose 20 to 50% on their investment. The result - the euro would loss some value, which would hurt all Eurozone countries; for fewer people would want the euro and less investment in EU countries using the euro.

    3. Greece dropping the euro as its currency: A single Eurozone country cannot lower the value of their currency, so Greece can only do this by abandoning the euro as their currency and return to a devalued drachma. In all probability, this would be a "Eurozone holiday" with Greece eventually returning to the euro. The result - in the interim everything purchased from Greece would be cheaper and would boost the economy, united with higher taxes, debt would decline. But this would weaken the push for a single global currency and would suggest the euro is not the solution to the world's financial problems. The EU would avoid this at all costs.

    4. Greece would default all debt: this would deeply affect the economies of Germany and France, holders of 70% of the debt. The result -this would cause a major recession throughout Europe and possibly the US.

    5. Greece could cut their high labor costs and institute major tax reforms: their VAT (a form of national sales tax) could be raised to 25% on all purchases, including homes, cars, etc. Result - this would increase civil tensions in the country, particularly among civil government workers and union workers and would not solve the immediate debts owed in May.

    All of these scenarios could have a severe impact upon the world economic situation. They would create much distrust of the euro and the European Union. Some of the scenarios could result in instability in the lands most affected; with strikes, domestic violence, shortages, and protests. Above all, it could result in the break-up of the EU, which the EU leaders cannot allow.

    My GUESS!!!

    My scenario is really a product of my studying both the EU and Biblical prophecy. It is a GUESS ONLY.

    I feel the EU "fits" the characteristics of the final reformed Roman Empire of Daniel 2 and 7. It may not be the final empire, but it is certainly setting the stage. I have covered my financial scenario of the Tribulation paper in my CMI Whitepaper, so I will not repeat it here. Based upon these inputs I suggest:

    1. The EU will not break-up if it is, in fact, the embryo of fulfilled prophecy.
    2. The founders of the EU has noted that the EU prospers best in crisisand particularly can use environmental and financial issues to gain ground in its goal of global governance. It has done this in the past and will in the future.

    3. In order for the Tribulation finances to be achieved, a single currency is needed to bring about the Antichrist's control of buying and selling. The most logical choice is the euro or a descendant of the euro.

    4. The concept of the single currency, the euro, cannot be allowed to fail by the leaders of the EU and those desiring global governance. Most teachers of global governance suggest that a single currency is an absolute necessity.

    5. Since all major countries have far exceeded a position of easy debt removal, all are interdependent upon each other. Finances are now global and the economics of one country now affect economies of many countries, in other words, macro economics is global by nature. All countries in the EU and US are financially interconnected. When one declines, most others will follow to some degree.

    6. The people of the US and Europe believe that a lack of governmental regulation of the financial industry has resulted in the global decline of the last two years (they ignore the fact that the governments set up conditions for the decline). Therefore, global regulation is a necessity and must be administered by a supranational organization.

    7. The Eurozone countries depend upon the financial strength of Germany and France. Britain, while financially in debt has a proven track record of resolving debt problems through taxes and reforms. Thus, Britain is viewed as a positive, strong financial country. But Britain is not a Eurozone country. Its entry to the Eurozone could help other nations. Hence, the Eurozone needs to bring financially strong countries into the Eurozone. This means there are 11 potential countries (those part of the EU but not using the euro). This crisis could be the excuse for requiring the euro to be the currency of all EU nations.

    8. For a supra-national government (the EU is the only one in history) to continue to develop, it must enlarge and ultimately, be the only government on the earth. Therefore, its inherent goal is global governance.

    9. The EU's strength and ruling power comes through its regulatory powers. Financial control on a global scale would allow it to gain its global power without "firing a shot."

    10. Strangely, the EU leaders have not been in the forefront of the efforts to help Greece. They have allowed Germany and France to lead. In fact, they have been strangely silent. They may be in fact, setting up both these countries to fail and allow the EU to come to the rescue. This would increase the EU's influence and power as a global problem solver.

    When I consider all these factors, I believe the EU will wait for the right moment to suggest a strong, global, supranational regulatory power, primarily headed by itself. This will be a key to global governance. Interestingly, this is just what the President of the European Central Bank suggested in Forbes this week. He believes that only through global governance can the "resiliency of the global financial system can be assured." (Mia Saini. "Face to Face" Forbeshttp://blogs.forbes.com/face-to-face/2010/04/29/ecb-president-favors-global-governance.htm 4/29/2010.)

    Again these are just some observations and possible conclusions that may be drawn from them. They are presented strictly as an opinion in response to your emails.

    In His service and yours, until He comes,

    Dr. Rob Congdon
