The Second Republican Debate

I have become very impressed with some of the candidates of the Republican Party's campaign for the 2016 Presidential election. That is why I am convinced that they will lose the election, not because they are unqualified to restore America to it's former position as the leader of world's geopolitical system, but because they are indeed very capable of doing just that, and I don't see that as being consistent with God's plan for the last days. There are several candidates who seem very capable (with the exception of Donald Trump, and his insufferable ego).

Remember, God is interested in saving the whole world from it's sinful foolishness, at least those who will repent, before it's too late. He is not interested in saving America, and letting the rest of the world go to Hell (literally), which would be very easy for me to do, if I were God. But let us all rejoice that I am not God, nor is He anyone like me, because if He were, we would all be sent to Hell, in spite of Jesus' dying upon the cross for our sins; simply because we deserved it! And I would have to include myself, as The Apostle Paul said of himself, for I am, "the cheifest of sinners". So, if I were God, the entire Human race would have to be condemned to Hell, and I would have to start over, with a new "Human race". Thank God he sent Jesus to the earth, to die for our sins, that we all might be saved from the judgement we deserve! (At least those of us who will admit we are sinners, in need of His forgiveness, and salvation.)

Anyway, as I've written before, I don't see America being restored to it's previous prominence, and God allowing the Antichrist to rise to his position as the leader of the One-world, international socialist system. If we are indeed in the last days, before the Lord returns to judge the world, then America must "decrease", as John the Baptist said, about his ministry declining, so that Jesus' ministry could "increase". The Antichrist must have his free reign to establish his system (counterfeiting the Lord's Kingdom of Heaven, on earth), so everyone can chose between his, and the Lord's plan, to establish His Kingdom. If the qualified Republican candidates actually win in 2016, then we must not yet be in the last days, as I believe we are. In the words of that great philosopher, Rosanna Danna, from the "Saturday Night Live", of the 1980's, I would have to humbly say, "never mind!", and wait for evidence of that day, yet to come.

But, as I do believe we are rushing headlong into the last days, I also believe that Satan's delusions will cause enough people to want some simpering socialist, like Hillary, Joe, or Bernie to lead us into our final destruction of America's Constitutional government, so the Antichrist can come to his position of world domination. Then those who receive his "mark of the Beast" will have seven years of economic ease, and a whole eternity to regret taking the easy way out.

Don't get me wrong; I am not saying we should not vote for the best candidate. We certainly have a responsibility to do just that. But, if I'm right, it won't be enough to overcome Satan's strong delusion, which God will have to allow, to bring about the trying of the world, in the Last Days.

May God have mercy on us all!!!

"What's Putin Up To???"

Yesterday's "700 Club" reported that our great Wizards of the White House are not certain what Russia's President Putin is planning with his recent move to build up the forces around a Syrian Air Base, in northwestern Syria, in which they have brought in Russian tanks and artillery, as if they are planning for an armed resistance of major proportions. Well, I can help in that regard; all they have to do is check my recent posts, in the "Archives" column, to the right of this column. I've written extensively on the prophecies that God gave to Ezekiel, in chapters 38, &39, and while I don't claim any special wisdom in understanding these prophecies, I am convinced that anybody of average intelligence can understand what God is about to do in the region, if they bring a believing heart to the table. But, that is the great problem with this White House. No one apparently believes in the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob, and the Father of Jesus Christ in this Administration. Though I'll bet there are plenty in the White House who believe in "Allah", including our great Muslim-in-Chief, President Obama.

Even Pat Robertson, whose Biblical understanding I have a great respect for, in most issues, said that Putin's intentions were obviously to try and fill the void left in Syria, and Iraq when Obama pulled America's ground forces out of the region. That's part of what I expect, if I am reading Ezekiel 38, & 39 correctly. But, I expect that Putin's desires for Middle-East conquest do not stop there!!! He wants it all!!! Especially the oil deposits of the Arab Gulf States, which he knows he can't take without strong resistance from Israel (not because of their great friendship with their Arab neighbors, but because they know that Russia will be harder to live with than their present neighbors). So, Putin knows that he will have to at least keep Israel busy while he conquers the rest of the Middle-East, and what better way than to turn all the neighboring Muslim States loose that hate Israel, and wish to massacre their entire population, and thus the basis of the Russian/Muslim nations confederation that Ezekiel prophecied about. I think it's pretty obvious that Putin is preparing for something big in the region. The real question is whether it is of an offensive, or defensive nature. We'll know before too long whether he is building up to defend Syria from the rebel forces that threaten them (which will not take nearly the strength of force that an all-out invasion of the Middle-East will take) once everyone realizes what he is really up to. If he keeps building up beyond what is realistically necessary for Syria's defense, then we'll know that Ezekiel's prophecies are about to be fulfilled, right before our eyes!

And, Again I say, "...look up, for your redemption draweth nigh"!!!

"Happy" 911 Anniversary Celebration !!!

I'm sure our "friendly, neighborhood Muslim Jihadists" would just love to help us "Celebrate" the 14th Anniversary of the 911 airplane attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center towers in New York City, on September 11th, 2001, killing some 3000-plus innocent people, along with another attack on the Pentagon, the smoke of whose subsequent fire I could see from the front steps of my apartment building, when I was living in Arlington, Va. And let us not forget those brave passengers who foiled the attempt by a fourth terror group trying to plunge their hijacked plane into either the White House, or the Capital Building, when they stormed the terrorist-controlled cockpit, knowing that they probably faced certain death, as they did when the plane was forced to crash in the Pennsylvania countryside, killing all on board, yet sparing further loss of life in D.C., or else ware.

I'm sure that our "neighborhood Jihadists" would love to contribute enough "fireworks" to make any 4th of July celebration pale by comparison. I'm sure that that they have plenty of pipe bombs, and pressure-cooker bombs available for today's remembrance of those innocents who died needlessly, in order for these numbskulls to prove nothing more than their evil, perverse lust for murderous violence, in the name of their false religion. (Those Jihadists are certainly sorry, now, and will be for a long, long time [known as "eternity"], while they futilely search for their falsely promised 72 virgins, and can find nothing but billions of taunting demons, with nothing to do but torment them with the foolishness of their first-life deception.) A perfect location for their "Celebration" would be the planned memorial service at the original site of the destruction of the "Twin Towers", in New York City, now referred to as, "Ground Zero". I'll bet that the organizers of this memorial service are the same people who planned the re-building of the "Ground Zero" tower, and their concern for the safety of those in attendance doesn't extend further than publicizing their architectural prowess, and their potential lease-sales to future business tenants. They are expecting thousands to show up for this service, and I can't help but fear for the safety of those who foolishly attend, as the Modis Opporendi of these murderous Jihadists is to mark their "celebration" of previously "successful" terrorist attacks, by instituting follow-up bombings on the "anniversary dates" of successive years.

I believe the Boston Marathon bombing also took place on September 11th, a few years ago, and if I'm correct, that establishes the basis for my concern, along with the debacle in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012; though we had the assurance of our great minds in the State Department, that that fiasco was because of some "offensive" anti-Islamic film, that Muslims were supposed to be outraged about. It would be nice if we could actually find some people to serve in the State Department, and the Foreign service as a whole, who actually had half a clue as to what was going on in the world, today! Instead we have former "First Ladies" actually believing that they can transmit and receive Top Secret messages over unsecured internet E-mail lines, without risking interception by hostile foreign "hackers" (like the Chinese, and Russians, who have demonstrated that foreign intelligence "hacking", both offensively, and defensively, is an important part of their espionage efforts). Or, we have her successor telling us that we should accept a "treaty" with Iran that will apparently not hinder their efforts to develop nuclear weapons, but will relieve them from the sanctions that withheld hundreds of billions of dollars from their trading capacity, for their agreement to do absolutely nothing in return. I wonder if the original intent of those sanctions was really to punish Iran for their non-cooperation, or for our greedy international bankers to get their filthy hands on the Iranian assets so they could invest it all, and recoup the profits, before releasing the principle back to Iran. So much for the supposed hostility of Democratic Administrations to Wall Street chicanery, if my suspicions are correct. One must wonder if there was some under-the-table bribery taking place, when these sanctions where set up, and if so, how high up in the Administration would they have gone??? (Like I've said previously, I've rarely found a conspiracy theory that I didn't like, even if I had to create one, out of thin air, myself!)

Anyway, we should all be deeply in prayer for any such memorial services, today, though I believe I heard a news report of one such Jihadist conspiracy being broken up by local police, though I don't remember what city this was in. Let's pray that any others will be likewise foiled, and we can make it through this day peacefully, to the great chagrin of our "friendly, neighborhood Jihadists"!!! And, ultimately, to the praise, and glory of God, in Jesus' name!!!

We Have Become Our Own Oppressors

I am reminded of the wisdom of that great philosopher of the 1950's, and the 1960's, "Pogo" (of the syndicated comic strip that was almost universally carried by most newspapers around the country), who profoundly described the predicament we find ourselves in today, in an America that has horrendously forgotten the principles it was founded upon. He proclaimed, sadly, that, "we have met the enemy, and he is us..."!!!

This nation was founded by Christian Separatists, in the Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts, and the more secular Jamestown Colony of Virginia (which was founded upon much the same principles, though without the degree of a religious theme as it's guiding influence). One of the most important issues our founding fathers were concerned with, and one of the issues that drove our fathers to fight an almost impossible war against the most powerful military of it's day, was the right of the people to exercise their religious beliefs without interference from the government. That, and the freedom to pursue whatever business endeavor they chose without having to pay punitive, and excessive taxes to a greedy, and wasteful government. They eventually reached the collective conclusion that there comes a point where a government becomes so tyrannically intrusive that it is not only permissible, but it is incumbent upon those who stand for righteousness to openly resist that government, even to the point of their own great risk of harm.

We have apparently reached such a point in America today, and our oppressors are now the political descendants of those Founding Fathers who decided that tyranny must be resisted, peacefully at first, and militarily if that is not effective. The absolutely evil decision by those five Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, that somehow the Constitution carries an unwritten "right" for Lesbians, and Homosexuals to be legally "married", when the Constitution says nothing about any form of marriage, at all, and in fact states that all powers, and authority not expressly given to the federal government by that document are automatically reserved, "for the States, and the people (meaning their local governments)". How anyone who has undertaken a lifetime of Constitutional study, as these Justices have demonstrated they have, can come up with such a blatantly false decision "out of thin air", absolutely escapes me!!! I don't claim any particular expertise in Constitutional Law, but even I can understand when a document says nothing about a subject, and says that all unwritten authority belongs to someone else! Come on, you Supreme Court Justices, catch a clue!!! Can you even read the document that is your main responsibility to interpret, and uphold?

Now, we have Kim Davis, a local government official, in Kentucky, who has been imprisoned for voluntarily resisting this outrageous overreach of the Federal Supreme Court, into an area that the Constitution has expressly reserved for the government that employs her. She is doing precisely what our Founding Fathers declared a free, and righteous people ought to do. Only, she has employed the principle of peaceful resistance, rather than the concept of armed resistance that our Founding Fathers decided was necessary, in light of an unresponsive government. Let us hope that it never becomes necessary to resort to violence to rid ourselves of these evil Politicians, Judges, and Bureaucrats who are trying to run roughshod over our Constitutional form of government today!!!

And, for those whimpy Presidential candidates who are trying desperately to "straddle the fence" on this issue (Chris Christy, and John Kasich, specifically), your statements that Mrs. Davis has a "responsibility to uphold the Law" is so profoundly ignorant of the facts that it disqualifies you for the office you are seeking, at least in my opinion!!! The Supreme Court has no authority to create laws, and in this case, there is nothing stated in the Constitution for them to interpret, one way or another! She is upholding the Law, as expressed in the Constitution, and it is these rogue Justices that are trying to subvert it!!!

[UPDATE: 9/9/2015---]

As of this morning, Mrs. Davis has been released from the local jail where she had been incarcerated for the past 5 days. Her original objection to providing marriage licenses to same-sex couples has not been resolved, however. The Kentucky Federal Judge who had her arrested seems to feel the situation has been resolved since her assistants are willingly providing the licenses requested. However, Mrs. Davis objected to the fact that these licenses carry her name as the official clerk authorizing them. As she refuses to resign, knowing that a very conservative State Legislature is unlikely to fire her, as is required by law in such cases, we have what amounts to a legal stand-off. The Judge has ordered her not to interfere with the assistants' provision of the same-sex licenses; but without removing her name from the authorization of those forms, one can logically expect that the next move will be some effort to do just that. She will likely do something that the Judge will interpret as "interference", and he'll throw her back in jail, to the greater outrage of her supporters.

This thing ain't over yet, folks! So, stay tuned!!!

U.S. State Dept. Wakes Up To Ezekiel Prophecies

God said it would happen about 2500 years ago! Today, the U.S. State Department just figured out what God said way back then.

The news reports today are saying that Secretary of State, John Kerry, called Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, to "express concern" (whoa, big news!) about what appears to be, "an imminent Russian military buildup in Syria". The prophet Ezekiel called this, at God's inspiration over 2500 years ago, and our State Department is probably shocked by this, "new development". I've been calling it a certainty for about seven years, because I'm so brilliant that I can actually read what's written on the pages of the Bible in front of me, and I have the simplistic naivete to actually believe what it says! Whoa, what a wizard I must be! To actually believe something that's right in front of my eyes! Wow! It must be miraculous wisdom (or what the Bible calls, "faith").

Would that there were some Bible-believing Christians in the State Department, and they would actually be given credibility when they tried to attach prophetic significance to current events. The fact that Ezekiel"s prophecies are probably laughed at (or outright dismissed) is exactly what God means when He says that He will, "confound the wisdom of the wise",and (speaking of the secular non-believers) that, "professing themselves wise, they become fools" (I realize this is a bit out of context, but it applies).

Anyway, the State Dept. is likely concerned that this military buildup is meant to support Bashar Assad's Syrian defense against the Rebel forces that are trying to overthrow him, and his government. But you can bet that the ultimate Russian intent is more likely to conquer the whole Middle-East, especially the Arab Oil Fields, and that the genocidal slaughter of the entire nation of Israel is a "necessary" part of their strategy. (For my explanation as to why this would be considered "necessary", see the Archive list to the right of this column. I've written extensively about this in many of my previous posts, and now it's being set up, almost as expected.)

Thank God that He is not going to allow this to happen! All the "best laid plans..." of these Russian conspirators, and their Muslim allies, will be turned against them, somehow, by God and they will destroy themselves, which is good, because you can bet that the Obama Administration will be no help for the Israelis! God will reserve all the glory for Himself, because no one else will help Israel. Thank God no one else will be needed, because He is more than able, by Himself!!!

Do I Smell A "Humanitarian" Rat In The White House???

I admit to being a bit of a conspiracy paranoid, having rarely found a conspiracy that I didn't like, or believe in, at least partially. But, today my conspiracy antennae went haywire when I read a byline on FOX News saying that the Obama Administration has offered assistance to the European countries caught in a quagmire of illegal immigration swarming from North African, and Middle-Eastern nations, desperately trying to reach their "promised land" of Germany, France, and England.

On the surface, this appears to simply be an offer of Humanitarian aid; namely food, water and medical supplies. If that's all, then perhaps my paranoia is nothing more than just that. But, why am I suspicious of the most evil, Democratic administration in the history of American presidencies, especially when it comes to illegal immigration? This administration sees illegal immigration as a political opportunity to recruit new voters, even if they have to bend citizenship requirements to get them to vote, and by giving them "Humanitarian" aid, they obviously intend to persuade these new immigrants to vote for the political status quo, which in this case just happens to be the Democratic party. Their interests in the immigrants do not extend a bit beyond their voting potential. Yet, they portray themselves as being so concerned for the humanitarian needs of these people, so long as they don't have to pay for it themselves; let the nameless, faceless taxpayers pay for it all.

It's bad enough that they allow illegal immigration to flow almost unchecked across our southern border. But, how long before these hyper-humanistic Liberals will determine that offering Europe food, water, and medical supplies is not enough; "we've got to open our doors to let these poor people immigrate to America", I can almost hear them proclaiming. Is this just the paranoid imagination of a hopeless Conservative, in a demonic Liberal America? Or will our Muslim President decide that these poor Muslim immigrants need a refuge, and America fits the bill? Fine for most of the people, who are just trying to escape the murderous bloodshed of their regional homelands, and just want a place to raise their families in peace. But, the Muslim terrorists who drove them out in the first place are famous for hiding within their numbers, making themselves virtually invisible, so they can spread their terrorist international "Jihad" to other nations, undetected, until they blow themselves up in American market places, schools, and nursery schools, etc. How do you sift between the sincere, peaceful families, and the murderous terrorists, who look identical? And worse, how do you determine that the non-radical adolescent child will not become a radicalized teen-aged terrorist, suicide bomber in a few years, after steady indoctrination by the local Imams who are preaching "Jihad" in American Mosques today? These radical Imams are taking advantage of our first Amendment privileges, while a Christian woman has been jailed for resisting an immoral Supreme Court judgment, in Kentucky.

One might almost suggest that what we need in this country is a truly Holy Ghost breathed Spiritual revival, but, naah! The government would never allow that, would they???

Trump Signs A Worthless Pledge

Pardon my cynicism, but I can't get all excited about Donald Trump's signature on an admittedly worthless piece of paper, that carries no legal authority whatsoever. He does not strike me as the kind of trustworthy man to keep his word, just because he,"said so". If he wins the Republican nomination, you can bet that he will not run as a third-party candidate. If he does not win, all bets are off; and this is a man whose life is built around betting! He not only wants to win, he is used to winning, and when he doesn't get his way, he can buy it, anyway! Well, Mr. Trump, the presidency of the United States of America is one thing you can't buy. Your money can fund an independent campaign, and even help you win a nomination, but without enough substance to your platform, you can't win the presidency. In the case of all those Democratic presidents, whose platforms I disagreed with, especially the present one, they at least held up to their platforms, foolish as they were!

But, if Donald Trump doesn't win the Republican nomination, I'd expect a third party to be instantly created out of thin air. It would probably be called the Trump Party, or the Aces High Party, or some such.

As soon as he creates his third Party, you can kiss any Republican presidency hopes, "goodbye"! While I don"t particularly like Trump, myself, I recognize there are many conservative voters who do. And without their votes, no Republican candidate can hope to win the presidency. So, another 4, to 8 years of "Obama-esque" foolishness out of the White House is probably what we're in for.

Regrettably, this is what I've gone on record as expecting, though I certainly don't want it. I don't see how God can allow the Antichrist to come to power in his One-World government system, if America is restored to it's previous state of international prominence. Remember, just as the Devil is, "God's devil" (which He will allow to run amok, for a "short time", to test us to see who will stand for the Lord, and who will not), the Antichrist belongs to God also, and He must allow him to come to power for his seven-year reign, to test us to see who will take "the mark of the beast" (which is condemned), and who will not! If America is preeminent in the world, the Antichrist would have to conquer us first, and there is nothing about that in prophecy. In fact, America may not even exist by that time (see previous posts in the Archive list). So, it makes sense that the Demon-ocrats (sorry about the "completely unconscious" typo!) will win the 2016 election, and have their way finishing Obama's start to the destruction of America, economically, militarily, morally, and just about every other way, until we are left with a third-world-nation status!!!
