The Invasion Begins

It's just a guess, but I'm beginning to suspect that the "Gog/Magog" Invasion of Israel may have already started, at least as far as Russia and their Muslim allies are concerned.

The facts: Russia has been at the heart of the Geneva negotiations to bring about a cease-fire agreement between the Iranian-supported ( Shiite Muslim forces) Syrian government, and the rebel forces (largely Sunni Muslim believers). These two dominant sects of Islam traditionally have a virulent hatred for each other, which is only dwarfed by their even greater hatred for Israel, and anyone who helps Israel ( like America). As of last reports to my knowledge, the Iranians had shipped in some 40,000 troops ( oops, I mean "volunteers", as I doubt that they brought their army uniforms with them) to assist the Syrians, while Al Quaida has brought in similar numbers of "freedom fighters" from all over the Muslim world, not so much to help the original rebel forces, as to take over the insurgency and make it their fight to conquer the entire Muslim world, so they could usher in the coming of their "Mahdi"( or the Muslim equivalent of the Jewish Messiah) to eventually conquer the whole world for Islam.

All along I had presumed that a Russian-led invasion of the Middle-East would be precipitated by a blatant cavalcade of Russian Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers, trucks, and Helicopters swarming through the Caucasus Mountains and into the "Mountains of Israel", to be joined later by the sympathetic armies of the Israeli-hating Muslim nations. But now I think what we are seeing developing in Syria today may be the complete reverse of this plan. There are already enough Muslim forces in Syria now to serve as a serious threat to the safety of Israel ( discounting God, of course), and all that is needed is an agreement that fighting Israel is much more desirable to them than fighting each other. So, if a Geneva accord can be established, it might serve as a cooling-off period during which the Russian Commander ( "Gog", whomever that will be) might present to the two sides his plan for conquering Israel. They might even decide to stop killing each other long enough to try and destroy Israel, which they would much rather do.

Also, I heard on the news today that Iran, and the government in Iraq are negotiating to merge their countries, since both governments are predominantly Shiite Muslim controlled ( Iraq's Sunni government, under Sadaam Husein having been dismissed after the Allied invasion overthrew them). There has been a long standing view that these two countries wanted to re-form the old Assyrian Dynasty along with Syria and claim it as a Shiite Empire. Only Sadaam had hindered this in the past. I did wonder if it was wise for America, and their allies to create a puppet government, even temporarily made up mostly of Shiite loyalists, since their capital is so close to Iran, and we knew how much Iran wanted to take control of Iraq, and especially their rich oil fields. Together with their own oil deposits this new united country would control the largest total deposit of oil in the world, dwarfing even Saudi Arabia, their third most hated enemy ( after Israel and America). Now since the Al Quaida forces have moved into, and taken control of the nearby city of Fallujah, Bagdad's government seems in a hurry to bring about this union of two nations, along with the international right of Iran's army to move in and defend them from advancing Al Quaida forces, which they seem to prefer to asking America, and our allies to do it. Should this come to pass, the Al Quaida forces would be stranded between the Shiite forces of the new Iranian territory, and that of the territory controlled by Bashir Assad's Syrian forces, ( who also have wanted to join forces with Iran for years, creating the New Assyrian Empire).

Since the rich oil fields would be under Iranian control, the Al Quaida forces would be left controlling a largely worthless territory, and might simply withdraw rather than try and fight on two fronts simultaneously. This would leave the whole area under the control of the new Iran/Iraq/Syrian government which would almost certainly call itself the new Assyrian Empire. All this might embolden them to unite with Russia in their desperate attempt to Invade, and try to conquer Israel. Fortunately, they don't realize that they are thumbing their noses at God Almighty, and He has promised that when they do that will mark the end of His patience with all of them, and He will bring about the near total destruction of their invasion forces ( roughly 84%), by a combination of what seems to me to be a Tactical Nuclear bombardment by the Israeli Defense Forces, which seems to set their enemies in a blind panic of a retreat, with perhaps a futile effort by their commanders to turn them back resulting in a wholesale slaughter, as "every man's sword will be against his brother". This is apparently how God has chosen to glorify Himself, in the face of man's arrogance at trying to destroy His "Chosen People", when He has warned them against doing so for thousands of years. This is the fate of all those that ignore His warnings in the Bible, at their own peril!

Et Tu, Karzai?

The title is borrowed from the famous Shakespearean play, "Julius Caesar", when the central character has just been stabbed several times by the members of Rome's Senatorial conspiracy. When finally he is given the death blow by the head conspirator, Brutus, who is supposedly Caesar's friend, Caesar gasps his final words, "Et tu Brute?", or Latin for, "You too Brutus?". This supposedly carries the secular shock value of Jesus' own words when He is betrayed in the Garden of Gethsemane and says, "Betrayest thou me with an kiss, Judas?" ( K.J.V.) The obvious difference being that Jesus was not really surprised since He had told His disciples that Judas would betray Him at the last supper, and immediately told Judas to go ahead and do it, because He knew it had to be done. He knew he couldn't be resurrected without first being crucified. But, I digress.

My point is that someone in the news today has just expressed an outlandish, and blatantly self-serving betrayal of American international aid that perhaps doesn't rank in importance to that of Caesar's, and certainly doesn't approach that of Christ's, but has to rank highly among any list for blatant audacity. President Karzai, of Afghanistan, on the brink of American troop withdrawal from his country has decided to blame our troops for joining forces with the enemy ( the Taliban) in carrying out several incursions against Afghan troops over the past two years. This, after our forces spent several years training these same Afghan troops, our forces are supposed to have decided to attack them, along with our hated enemies! What audacious paranoia, and obvious self-serving betrayal on his part!

It seems obvious to me that Karzai is setting us up for his soon-to-be "jumping ship", and getting out of town, "without passing 'Go'". He has been rumored for years to be socking away what may be billions of American foreign aid money, probably in private Swiss bank accounts for just such an emergency bail-out, when it becomes clear that the Taliban are almost certain to re-take control of Afghanistan's government. Now he seems to be setting us all up for an excuse as to why he "must" do so, ostensibly because of a supposed "American betrayal". I guess he feels this will protect him from later Taliban assassination attempts. I frankly doubt it, since the number one form of entertainment in the Muslim world seems to be suicide-bombing, followed closely by genocidal murder. Good luck Karzai, maybe your billions in graft will buy you a place in Heaven! But don't hold your breath.

Vatican's Aerial Bombardment

What should we make of the Papal aerial attack shown on the major newscasts yesterday? Surely nothing of consequence..., or should we?

But the rather unusual attack yesterday upon the two white doves, released by Pope Francis from his window, as a symbolic gesture of hope for world peace, and their subsequent brutal attack by first a seagull, and then a black crow could be seen as symbolic of God's warning to the world of some impending threat to world peace in the near future. I recognize that this surely seems to be grasping at straws, to make something out of nothing at all, but if ( as I discussed in a previous post) God is trying to get the attention of His people to warn them that He is about to do some great thing, that will start out as a great and dangerous evil before turning into a demonstration of His great mercy for His people, it would seem appropriate that He would use the format of the accepted thrown of the largest church in the world to make His point in a way that surely was beyond the control of the Pope, or anyone else for that matter. As protestant believers we should refer to this all as a mighty "coinkydink".

Next, how hard should we work to attach symbolic meaning to it all? Lets examine the facts: First, Pope Francis makes an innocent gesture that countless pontiffs before him have done, in releasing two white doves from his portico window before a large crowd awaiting mass. As the camera pulls back it captures the immediate attack, right in front of the portico by a seagull, and a black crow who began ripping the doves apart with their beaks and claws savagely. To my knowledge this is unprecedented ( and if I'm wrong I'd appreciate it if someone would correct me), and in connection with my previous discussion concerning the soon coming "Blood Moon" eclipses which I suggested might be God's way of warning us that He is about to allow the climactic "Gog/Magog" invasion of Israel to come to pass, perhaps followed by the "Rapture" of His Church, it strikes me that He could be using this "spontaneous" disruption of the papal ceremony to further demonstrate
that He is about to do something dramatic in the world, and that the whole church, regardless of denomination should wake up and pay attention. Remember there's only one denomination in Heaven, and it's called "Jesus". If so, that would tend to confirm my assumptions concerning the "Blood Moon" symbolism.

Next, we have the two symbols of peace being brutally, and innocently attacked. It might be that they could stand for the two most innocent nations that will suffer from the brutal Russian/Muslim Confederation attack: namely, Israel, and the U.S. Israel, because they are the object of the attack ( which God defeats), and the U.S., if my reasoning about a possible Nuclear interchange between us and Russia should follow the invasion's defeat ( preceded by the "Rapture"). The black crow would obviously symbolize the invading forces, with their obviously evil intentions. But the seagull has me a bit puzzled. It could easily represent a large Aircraft Carrier attack, since seagulls both swim and fly, like America's task forces in the area, but why against the doves rather than the crow, since America has always been Israel's staunch ally, and even our Muslim President couldn't get our forces to side with Russia, against Israel, or could he? However, he might betray Israel by standing by and offering Israel no help, which God would surely consider the same as being an active participant in the invasion ( which might actually be Obama's intent).

Oh well, this reasoning is probably all worthless nonsense, anyway. But I thought it might be fun to try and tie spiritual significance to it all, even if it is just a waste of time. What do you think??

Isaiah's "Burdens"

Continuing in the discussion of Biblical Prophecies, especially concerning the prophecies of the apparently soon-coming Gog/Magog invasion of Israel, which the world may prefer to call World War III, I believe God led me to the various chapters of Isaiah which I call "Isaiah's Burdens". Beginning in Chapter 13, which Isaiah titles "the burden of Babylon", he describes a battle upon the mountains of Israel involving "a multitude ...of the kingdoms of nations gathered together" at what seems to be God's own bidding. It seems God has called them together to deliver His own judgment against them all at the same time, under the ruse of thinking they are going to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. But God has other plans, as Isaiah calls this the "day of the Lord" and a day of, "destruction from the Almighty."

Verses 7, and 8 describe a time when, "every man's heart shall melt...and pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth". Sarin gas is said to effect men in this manner; they begin to experience a tightness in their chests, their noses begin to bleed, they vomit, and their bowels and bladders empty uncontrollably, and painfully, creating the effect of experiencing the pain of a woman giving birth. But, even in the cases of large exposure, Sarin is not always fatal, merely painful enough to debilitate, like, say, the entire nation of Israel for a time long enough for Russia to conquer it, or for their muslim nations' allied armies to move in and perform their desired genocidal slaughter. Either way, since God knows all our thoughts before we can even act upon them, we can see why He will run out of patience with all these nations and allow them to be driven away in panic, turning their fear into violence against each other until 84% of the invading force is killed. The Sarin gas will be less than effective because the Israeli government has been distributing free gas masks to their citizens for decades, probably because their scientists have recognized the description of the attack for what it will be, and recommended the precautions even if they don't believe in God, which is an outrageous hypocrisy, in my opinion. The effects of the gas attack should be fairly brief, though painful even with the gas masks, which may be the reason for Jesus' warning to the Apostles, as proxies for all believers in the future that they should seek higher ground, when they see " all these things come to pass". As Sarin gas is heavier than air it immediately seeks out the lowest point to concentrate, thus making higher ground the only completely safe place to reside.

Since I described in my previous post that there is strong evidence that Israel has used small, Tactical Nuclear weapons to attack a large weapons depot in Homs, Syria ( shown to the world on Youtube), it may be that Israel was using this as a warning to Syria of their defensive capabilities should the Gog/Magog invasion become a reality.

I went on to describe in the last post how I believe this defeat of the invasion may precipitate a sequence of events that include a nuclear exchange between Russia and America( "the stars of heaven shall fall"), the "Rapture" of the believers in Jesus Christ, the seven-year Tribulation period, and the final return of Jesus to judge the world and establish His Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

So I'll repeat the words of Jesus in closing, that we should, "look up, for [our] redemption draweth nigh"!!!

Blood Moons, By Gog!

No, that's not a "typo" in the header. Previously I have written extensively on the coming ( perhaps sooner than we may reasonably expect) of the World War that is generally referred to, Biblically, as the Gog/Magog Invasion of Israel. I have taken the speculative position that I believe the scriptural language in various passages ( such as Ezekiel 38: 17, etc.; Joel 2:28, and Revelation 6: 12 through 17), which refer specifically to a massive military invasion of northern Israel by an alliance of nations led by Russia ( whose leader God refers to as "Gog" in Ezekiel 38, and 39; from the "land of Magog"), and several other nations that are overwhelmingly controlled by Muslim governments, seems to describe a defeat of the invading armies by Israel, materially, through the divine urging of God who has apparently reached the end of His patience with these murderously anti-semitic nations.

This invasion seems to be precipitated by a Sarin-gas-like attack upon the population of northern Israel, which perhaps has less than the intended effect of annihilation ( perhaps because the Israeli government has been distributing free gas masks to its citizens for decades), but it opens up the right of Israel to defend it's people according to international standards using "weapons of mass destruction" including Tactical Nuclear Weapons. This seems to be the case as the Bible describes God as saying that He will rain fire, and pestilence upon the invaders, with blood , and fire, and hail, and "brimstones" ( the same terms used to describe the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah). This type of military defensive action seems to have already begun, perhaps by Israel, when in early August of last year a large weapons stockpile which apparently included missiles aimed at Israel was mysteriously blown up by a small nuclear explosion, outside of the Syrian city of Homs, which is under the control of pro-Assad forces. Could this be Israel's way of firing "a warning shot across the bow" of Syria's forces, to let them know what they faced if they continued their aggression? This was captured on the internet and displayed on Youtube, mushroom cloud and all, for all to see. So between Assad's reputed use of Sarin gas upon the rebel towns held by the insurgent forces, and this apparent Israeli use of tactical nuclear weapons, it appears that the stage is set for the Gog/Magog invasion.

Lately the Christian community has become rather intrigued by the reports of the so-called "Blood Moon" eclipses that scientists tell us are set to appear over the next two years ( one on April 15th, and again coinciding with the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, in the fall, and repeated in 2015). These astronomical phenomenon have occurred in the past, including 1948 ( coinciding with the official rebirth of Israel as a nation, which God had prophecied) and again in 1967 ( coinciding with the Israeli retaking of East Jerusalem, from their Arab enemies). The fact that these "Blood Moon" eclipses are not expected to happen again for another 100 years lends credibility to the belief that whatever God is warning His people about may be of cataclysmic importance. So, calling these mere coincidences is difficult for Bible-believing Christians to swallow, and that leads to the expectation that God may be planning to allow something big to occur at the times of these "Moon Blood" eclipses, perhaps even signaling the soon-expected Invasion of Israel, which He has described as His method of declaring to the world that He exists, and He is in control, when he allows the eventual destruction of 83% of this invading army ( mostly by the revolt of the invaders, presumably against their commanders who could be expected to try to turn a panicked retreat from Israel's defenses, with the resulting "every man's sword shall be against his brother"). I don't know if this is accurate or not, but it certainly seems plausible to me.

Regardless, I am troubled by the description in Revelation chapter 6, when it refers to this phenomenon as the angelic opening of "the sixth seal [when]...the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood". This seems to describe what we have discussed above, yet what follows immediately is more troubling. Verse 13 says: "...the stars of heaven fell unto the earth ( which is literally impossible without destroying all of the earth, which does not happen), but remember this account is the Apostle John's description of his heavenly vision, described in his own words. Which raises the question of what he might be describing. It occurs to me that he might be describing a vision of a nuclear holocaust, which is supported by the description that follows of what seems to be the race to seek underground shelter by "the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men [who]...hid themselves in the dens and the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, 'fall on us and hide us ... from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come'". Of course they are in error, but it will certainly seem so to non- believers.

This account closes Revelation 6, which is immediately followed by John's description in Revelation 7, which talks about four angels withholding the destruction that occurs in Revelation 8, until the sealing of the 144,000 witnesses of God has been accomplished. The timing of this seems rather unnecessary to me since there are hundreds of millions of Christian witnesses on the earth today. So, could it be that coinciding with this sealing of 144,000 witnesses this might be the timing of God's removal of the hundreds of millions of other witnesses from the earth, which we refer to as the Rapture of believers to meet Jesus in the air??? The descriptions of the Rapture say that we will meet Jesus in the air, not that He will actually land on the Mount of Olives, which will happen when He defends Israel in the battle of Armageddon before He ushers in His Kingdom Of Heaven on Earth. If my Biblical reasoning here is at all accurate, which I do not claim to necessarily be the case, then it would seem that the Gog/Magog Invasion might be just around the corner and the Rapture could possibly follow that immediately, with what seems to be a nuclear holocaust between Russia and the U.S. happening afterwards, and Jesus' final return to establish His Kingdom to come in as little as seven years following that ( the length of time for the Great Tribulation?).

Whatever, it seems safe to say that however this all shakes out, the certainty of Jesus' Words that we should, "look up, for your redemption draweth nigh" seems more, and more relevant with each passing day!!!

Are Public School Bureaucrats Feeling The Heat?

On Jan. 2nd I wrote that I felt that America's Public School system had outlived it usefulness ( in most cases) and should be abolished nationally, and only kept in states where it was fairly, competently and frugally run by state and local officials that had to face voters' wrath for their incompetence, or corruption. The overwhelming immorality, leftist-biased ideology, and downright hostility to the concept that an all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful God is actually in control of the universe, and will require an accounting of our individual, and collective behavior when we die, that permeates the classroom instruction in public schools across the nation is a scandal long ignored by a voting public that seems so concerned with earning a living that they prefer to warehouse their kids in schools that teach values that are contrary to the family values that many of these same people profess to hold. It's time for America to wake up and re-take control of the education of their children, primarily through the abolishment of the Education Department, and all direct federal control of the nation's school systems, while allowing all federal tax money to be returned to the parents in the form of vouchers, intended to be given to the schools that teach their kids. This would include the options of Private, parochial, home schooling, tutorial, or state and local managed public schools, as the parents chose.

Now, in today's Washington Post, I read an account of a Virginia State delegate who is calling for an investigation into their state law to determine if their loosely regulated law that allows parents to opt out of public education on religious grounds was allowing the defacto abuse of children by disrupting their ability to receive a basic education. As one reads on in this article, it implies that the real issue here is not so much a concern for children that are being denied the right to receive a competent education, as it is a sneaky way of forcing parents to justify their need to withdraw their children from public schools by requiring approval of the local school boards. This is significantly different from requiring all children to pass standardized proficiency tests annually, that are morally, and politically, as well as religiously neutral, which should be all that is necessary to determine if all minimal standards of educational proficiency are being met. To require further approval from school boards seems not only unnecessary, but a blatant power-grab by generally hostile "professional educationists" who wish to legitimize their control over our children, and cement their reputations as the foremost experts in education, even if that reputation is pathetically undeserved. It would seem that Federal , state, and local education officials are beginning to feel the heat from an increasingly frustrated populace, that recognizes they are being scammed at what passes for education in America's Public Schools today, and they are desperately trying to plan for the backlash of parental outrage that may soon turn them onto the unemployment lines, like so many of the rest of us in recent years. They may be frightened at the thought that they might have to get a real job, where their salary might require competency evaluations based upon their success at producing the results that they were hired for. Certainly a new, and probably frightening experience for many of the socialist, and humanist-leaning public school teachers who have been shaping our children's minds for decades, not to mention the absolute terror that must be tormenting the union officials of the N.E.A.!

Must America "Decrease"?

While I certainly hope I'm wrong, I'm afraid that I am tending toward the above conclusion. I made a brief reference to this possibility in a previous post ( I forget which), stating that it's possible that American financial and military influence in world geopolitics may have to dramatically decrease, in order for God to bring to pass the coming Antichrist One-World government, and economic system. Note that I stated that God would allow this to come to pass; it is , after all His prophecy, so why would He not allow it to happen? The important thing is that we win in the end, and by that I mean the Church of Jesus Christ, the Saints of God, not necessarily the United States of America. Perhaps as a nation we may have outlived our usefulness to God, in trying to resist the evil forces of this world, at least materially, and perhaps we might be facing a decline to almost third-world economic, and military status, while God allows the Antichrist to rise to power in Satan's last-ditch effort to show that he really rules the world, before the return of Jesus Christ to set Satan and the rest of the world straight on who really is in charge, permanently! I referred to this as a sort of perversion of John the Baptist's statement concerning Jesus, "He must increase, but I must decrease". Likewise, if there is to be an Antichrist takeover of the whole world's economic, and geopolitical structure, it follows that there can't be two such powers, and that our dominance of the world's economy, with our dominant military strength would necessarily have to be greatly diminished for the Antichrist's to become dominant ( no matter how briefly).

The reason I tend to feel this is happening is because of the overwhelming lack of wisdom that exists in the power bases of our culture today. We have a presidency that seems more concerned with not offending the international "Muslim Brotherhood" movement in Egypt, and north Africa, than it is in prosecuting the war on terror, especially in bringing to swift justice the suspects in the Benghazi, Libya attack on our Embassy, with it's resulting murder of four of our officials ( considering that the F.B.I. believes that it knows who the top suspects are). Also, President Obama is so determined to keep his rash promise to withdraw American forces from Iraq, and Afganistan that he is apparently willing to watch Al Qaida, and Taliban forces regain control of those nations, as soon as we leave.

Further, we have a do-nothing Congress that is controlled by Democrats who want to keep spending inflationary tax money to create a Socialist state, until the economy collapses in on itself, making the dollar worthless in exchange for anything, when they will most likely bail-out on America, and emigrate to the Antichrist's European Socialist "Utopia", where they will probably be welcomed as heroes of the destruction of the "Great Satan", which is us. They are countered by the Republican doofisses who are so politically impotent that all they can think to do is shoot themselves in the foot with pointless government shut-downs, and cold-hearted efforts to cut off unemployment benefits, before the job market has rebounded sufficiently enough to provide jobs with life-sustaining wages to support them. This accomplishes nothing but ensuring Democratic victories in the future, with the result being more bone-headed Obama-Clones as president, like Hillary Clinton or John Kerry. And don't count on the Supreme Court to help out in the equation; they've got their hands full deciding "important" Constitutional issues, like should Homosexuals be allowed to legally marry, and should states like Colorado be allowed to legalize Marijuana, and how many illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote in our elections, since requiring a legal I.D. card would "obviously" violate their "Constitutional rights" ( I guess swimming the Rio Grande now qualifies one for Constitutional rights)?

See what I mean??? May God save us from ourselves!!!

Federal Regulated Public Education Is Obsolete, And Immoral

I might as well get this beef off my chest, since I've started my tirade against political and business practices that I feel are foolish at best, and down right evil at worst.

I am convinced that the number one, most destructive, and culturally corruptive force in America today is the concept of Federal regulated Public Education, as it has evolved to today's evil and perverse standard. We have allowed the concept of educating an overwhelmingly illiterate society (as was the laudable goal of 100 years ago) to degenerate into a format for propagandizing our youth, at their most innocent, and gullible levels, into believing in the Socialist dogma that our predominately liberal teachers foment upon them, without remorse (because they truly believe they are helping the children by doing so). It has now degenerated to the point that perverse concepts of morality are regularly taught as acceptable lifestyles, such as pre-marital, and recreational sex is not only acceptable for teenagers, and even younger (with the only caution being the lame attempt at avoiding pregnancies, and STD.'s), but that it is practically "a right", regardless of whether it is same-sex, or hetero. No wonder we have whole populations of states so thoroughly indoctrinated to this perverse agenda that the concept of Same Sex Marriage is actually given increasing credibility, and is being "legalized" by their idiot legislatures (many of whom were likely educated by the same Leftist-Zomby teachers in their Public Schools). And should anyone dare to stand in opposition to their beliefs, no matter how reasonably, they are ridiculed, and dismissed as Racists, and Bigots, since their only great success at changing political and social mores was the civil rights movement of the 1960's, and when they are threatened reasonably they fall back on their tired old laurels in order to seem to legitimize their weak positions.

Speaking from the experience of one who was likewise educated in what was locally acclaimed as "the number one rated public school system in the country", at the time ( true or not, I don't know), with a couple of years of Private High School thrown in for balance, I became unwittingly indoctrinated into the same leftist dogma of the day. I think it must have been through subliminal messaging, as I had become amazingly adept at sleeping through classes ( which I perfected in my college years), while somehow managing to pass my courses, though sometimes just barely. It really was quite an intellectual struggle to overcome the effects of my leftist brain-washing, once I became saved. I was confronted by the fact that the people who shared the same values of my new found faith tended overwhelmingly to disagree with the political, and moral values that I believed in. It actually took years of Bible study for me to recognize that their conservative values were directly related to their understanding of the Bible. Therefore, either I had to change my thinking, or I had to convince God that He was wrong, and that He needed to re-write the Bible. I decided that the former was easier, though we occasionally hear about some fool that decides to "help God out" by writing a new, "gender-neutral translation", or some translation that makes homosexual behavior appear acceptable to God.

After watching the decades-long continual slide into a deeper, and deeper morass of moral, and political lunacy, I have become convinced that the only way for us to reverse the cultural self-destruction we have been allowing to be fomented upon us, and our children is to permanently defund Public Education. This must begin at the Federal level, by shutting down the Education Department, and allowing tax money to be returned to the parents ( in the form of Vouchers), to be given to private, parochial, and other religious schools, or State financed and regulated public schools, or allowing parents who choose to Home-School their children to spend the same amount of tax refund as they choose, so long as their children perform acceptably on annual state proficiency tests. And those tests need to be non-discriminatory towards Biblical values, allowing for any questions concerning controversial issues, such as evolution, (which many Christians believe to be a flawed, and unproven theory), to simply ask what evolution means, rather than asking questions that will trigger responses that indicate belief, or disbelief, giving an unfair opportunity to fail a test that does not agree with the examiner's personal beliefs. The point here is to get these leftist brain-washing "educators" out of their heavy-handed control over what our children are being taught. Their influence has become so pervasive that even the textbook manufacturers will rely on their approval of new textbooks before they go into print, in order to assure their nationwide distribution. Remove their influence, and the manufacturers will have to cater to the more wholesome values of the people who actually care about the academic, and moral development of their children. If we don't begin to re-take control of the educating of our children, we will soon see our national moral, and political values decline to the point where social chaos will soon become the order of the day. Of course this is the ultimate goal of the international Socialists who have been orchestrating this educational self-destruct for the past half-century. Marxist doctrine has always taught that, "out of chaos comes order". And that the best way to bring this about is for the children to be indoctrinated, wrong-headedly. I believe that God is allowing America's morality to degenerate slowly while He watches us to see how serious we are about repenting, personally first; and culturally, and nationally as a consequence. How many adults educated before 1970 can recall stories about children bringing guns to school and opening fire indiscriminately; a situation that is becoming commonplace today in our public schools.

We have seen what passes for "order" according to this Marxist view. It developed into Hitler's National Socialism, and the Communism of Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, and the endless list of Leftist Dictators who desired to enslave the people of their nations. America... WAKE UP!!! Before it is too late!
