Two professional blowhards blasted the airwaves with their hot air today. One was American, and really should know better. The other has spent a lifetime doing nothing else, and has professed so many lies so glibly that he probably believes his own lies, no matter how outrageous they are. The former would be laughably pathetic, if the issue at hand were not so traumatic; the latter is far too dangerous to ignore.
First, we have Planned Parenthood's excuse for a CEO., Cecilia Richards crying foul against the investigative journalists who made the clandestine films showing Planned Parenthood executives discussing the "harvesting" of fetal tissue samples from abortions, in order to sell the samples to stem cell research laboratories, as if the moral outrage should be against the manner in which the evidence was gathered (hello "Miranda Law", which requires a silly Lawyerese recitation, lest all evidence against the accused perpetrator be forcefully disregarded, no matter how pertinent, or how heinous the crime), and not the doctors who are professionally sworn to "do no one any harm". Where is the moral perspective in this? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that today's Public Relations courses, in agreement with most Law Schools in the land, teach their students that lying, in the face of obvious guilt, no matter how blatant, is an effective way of trying to throw their accusers off balance long enough to minimize the appearance of guilt. I really don't see much hope of it being effective here, as far as eliminating the appearance of guilt. But, as far as stopping the horrible abuse to unborn babies, for which they are absolutely guilty, I'm afraid there are too many dogmatic Feminists in the land, and too many cowardly, and immoral Democratic politicians in Congress who are either afraid, or unwilling to stand up to them, even with a painful government shutdown. We'll have to leave the punishment for this sinful practice up to the Lord, and believe me He will settle accounts in this regard, eventually!
Secondly, we have Russia's President Putin formally getting "permission" to deploy Russian Army troops in Syria, which is supposedly required by Russian Law (as if Putin were not the absolute dictator that we all know he is). Then, he has the gall to demand that American jets (and presumably N.A.T.O. jets) stop flying over Syrian territory, which essentially means "butt out of the war, altogether". If we were to do that, Russia would quickly obliterate both I.S.I.S., and any legitimate Syrian rebels immediately. Since that is out of the question, he is saying we risk an American/Russian conflict which could quickly escalate into a nuclear confrontation. As we all recognize that President Obama has the backbone of a paramecium, when it comes to military confrontation, and Putin knows this, too (and is counting on this, no doubt), I expect that Obama, and his cowardly Democrats in Congress will cave in and back out of any possible Syrian confrontation. He will probably declare victory (which is typical) before he withdraws, with his "tail between his legs". Then, Putin will have free reign to execute his Middle-East invasion, which is his true purpose, without the risk of any American jets around to hinder his plans (which Obama wouldn't have the guts to do, anyway). Thank God that He is not afraid to clean up the mess that Obama has allowed to develop, and He will protect Israel in the process. Then we'll see how fast Putin can "turn tail, and run"!
Biblical perspective of Current Events for the Bible-believing Christian. Understanding these issues requires faith in Jesus Christ as Lord, and Savior through asking Jesus to forgive your sins, come into your heart, and save your soul. Jesus said,"...except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3: 3. Also, "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." John 3:16.

Nature Abhors A Vacuum; And So Does Putin
I'm so glad that Putin met with Obama yesterday to work out their concerns for any misunderstandings concerning the recent Russian military buildup at a Syrian Air Base, in northwestern Syria. One might easily misinterpret such a buildup (which has been described as the, "largest buildup of Russian military forces, outside of the former U.S.S.R. borders, in Russia's history") for a full-scale Russian invasion of the entire Middle-East! I'm so glad that Mr. Putin set the record straight in that regard. After all, we know that he has such an excellent track record in telling us the truth about his intentions, especially concerning his humanitarian efforts to help the poor, afflicted Ukrainian rebels, who spontaneously rebelled against their former government, totally without any Russian instigation, or any Russian troops disguised as civilian rebel troops, although they all wore the same type of camouflage fatigues, making it appear as though they had been issued from the same army supplies. And isn't it strange that they were all carrying weapons similar to those that would be issued to the most crack Russian Army units, as well as that passenger aircraft that was mistakenly shot down by non-Russian soldiers, firing non-Russian missiles, that had not been given to them by their non-Russian forces, just across their border with non-Russia!
I love it when potential enemies can get together and work out their differences peacefully, even while the rest of the world seems to be going to "Hell-in-a-hand-basket". Thank God for Obama's great Diplomatic wisdom, which has to rank every bit as highly (in my estimation) with the likes of that great "Collaborator", British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. He, of the great treaty with Adolph Hitler, who proudly proclaimed, "peace in our time", just before Germany invaded Poland at the outset of World War II. Or as Julius Caesar might easily gasp out, if he were alive today, "Et tu, Obama?", as he pulled yet another dagger out of his back.
But, now we know that the sole purpose for the Russian military buildup in Syria is to fill the void left when Obama pulled the American forces out of Iraq, only to create the opportunity for the likes of I.S.I.S. to take over, with disastrous consequences. But, what I don't understand is why Putin continues the buildup way beyond what would be necessary to wipe out the I.S.I.S. rebels. It almost seems like he has an ulterior motive that he is not telling us about. Could it be that he is really intending to invade the entire Middle-East, with the goal of conquering the Gulf-States' oil reserves, while sicking the Israelis' Muslim neighbors on them to keep them from interfering with his plans??? Naw, that couldn't be the devious intentions of a man who is so openly agreeable with our great Diplomat-In-Chief. Why, I can just hear Obama now, asking Putin if he, "has come...to take a great spoil?" (see Ezekiel 38:13, for that one; it's got Obama's fingerprints all over it.)
Oh well...I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, right Mr. Chamberlain??? Someone please tell Putin to put the vacuum away, when he's done with it. Obama might need it again sometime later.

I Think I Missed The "Blood Moon"
If you missed seeing the final "Blood Moon" of this current Tetrad, because you read my post which said it would be visible on September 28th, then I did not intentionally deceive you. I was simply misinformed, and am still not certain of the truth of the matter. I read that it was due tonight, the 28th., and read nothing about the so-called "Super Moon Eclipse", but heard it reported last night, in time to view it. It wasn't much to the naked eye, as it is difficult for non-astronomers to discern the difference between the Moon's orbiting distances from the earth, varying from 250,000 miles away, to 220,000 miles (which was the distance of the Full Moon last night, hence the exaggerated title of "Super Moon Eclipse", simply because it was when the Moon was at it's closest point to the earth). I saw no "Blood Moon" effect, and did not wait long for it since I believed that wouldn't happen until tonight. I'm still not certain that it won't.
In any case, please remember that I never said that the Ezekiel 38, & 39 prophecy of "Gog's" (or probably Putin's) Russian invasion of the Middle-East would definitely happen between the dates of this year's Jewish celebration of "Yom Kippur" (dusk of Sept. 22, through dusk of Sept. 23), and finish on the date of the "Blood Moon", which I understood to be tonight. I merely stated that I, "wouldn't be surprised if..." it all came to pass between these dates. More than that, I am surprised that nothing has happened, other than Putin's unusually large buildup of military force, especially aircraft, at a Syrian airport in northern Syria. I am certainly guilty of allowing my imagination to exceed my information in presuming that these "Blood Moons" indicated that God's judgment would be completed by this date. But, frankly, I never said definitively that it would. I'm not quite that stupid! I will not place dates on God's prophecies that He hasn't given me. When, and if, He does, I'll let you all know about it. But, don't hold your breath, because that's not the way He tends to operate. He tells us He is going to do something, and then expects us to wait for it to happen, confident that He will do it, even though we don't know when.
I suppose I am guilty of getting caught up in all this "Blood Moon" hype, when I should have simply waited quietly for God to reveal His will, in His good time. If the "Blood Moons", and eclipses were in any way indicative of what He is about to do, we will all understand the perfect logic of His timing of it all (afterwards), even if I have proven to be clueless in this regard. Again, I apologize for any feelings of misleading that my presumptuousness may have caused.

Dislike Is Christian; Hatred, And Murder Are Not!!!
The Apostle Paul made this distinction clear when he wrote the admonishment to, "Be angry, and sin not". For any true believing Christian, this is an unimpeachable distinction. I believe there is also a clear distinction between, "Thou shalt not kill" (meaning the taking of a life that is innocent of any capital crime) and the execution of those who are legally convicted of such (the "Death Penalty").
I recently received a comment that I did not feel was worthy of general publication which was apparently in response to some of my criticism of our moronic President (the most pathetic form of idiocy: that of dogmatic, philosophical choice, rather than an abiding lack of intelligence, of which Obama is definitely not lacking in the latter and overwhelmed by the former) , stating that this person did not feel the President would "finish his second term". I suppose he felt I would agree with this sympathetically, and he even felt there was Biblical evidence to support such hate-mongering.
Well, let's be clear that I do not! It is one thing to be appalled at the buffoonery that emotes daily from the White House, and another thing to think that it can be rectified by Gestapo tactics, or even the desire for such. Jesus dealt with that when He said, "He that lives by the sword shall perish by the sword." That applies to knives, guns, bazookas, bombs, etc. Another way of expressing this is the old adage, "what goes around comes around." Any way of removing this or any other politician from office, other than by legal election would have dire consequences for any desirable politician who replaced him, or her. I would dearly like to see Obama out of office, and the rest of his imbecilic administration with him. But what's the point, if he is just going to be replaced by someone just as bad, or even worse (like any of the current, and one of the projected possible Democratic Presidential candidates). I wrote last July that it seemed to me that Obama might actually be trying to get himself impeached, with all of his quasi-legal Executive Actions, that could not possibly stand a righteous Supreme Court challenge. But recent Supreme Court rulings have shown us we can expect this Court to use every opportunity to overstep it's authority, rather than be restrained by it's Constitutional powers. It would be the greatest mistake for the Republican House to impeach Obama, realizing that the Democratic-heavy Senate would never convict him; and even if it did we would be giving the likes of our truly moronic Vice President the opportunity to pretend to act presidential, just in time to throw the 2016 election in his favor, and then we'd be right back in the same mess we're in now, for four more, or even eight more years.
The problem, in America today, is not the moronic politicians in office. I'm sorry to say it, folks, but we elected these idiots, and we deserve what we got! They are not the problem; we are!!! And until, or unless, we repent of our collective sinful lunacy we can expect more of these idiots to be running rough-shod over our nation, until we no longer have it! America is rushing head-long into God's judgment and we by-and-large don't even believe in the God who is going to judge us, and who warned us thousands of years ago that He would do so if we didn't repent. The so-called "progressives" of the liberal Democrats, and Socialists honestly believe that the principles He gave us thousands of years ago are "out of date" and need to be replaced, by the modern morality of today. The book of Romans told us of the foolishness of contemporary morality that rejected time-honored principles when it described those that professed, "...themselves wise," only to find they've "...become fools".
The judgment of Sodom, and Gomorrah may be just around the corner!

Hallelujah!!! For Yom Kippor!!!
Today is the full day of "Yom Kippur", or the Jewish "High Holy Day" of the annual day of repentance, when all believing Jews (without discerning the degree of believing this requires; I'm sure God knows each person's heart) traditionally ask God to forgive them of all their sins. Generally, it is presumed that each individual asks God to forgive him, or her, for the sins they have committed in the past year, since they presumably asked forgiveness in each of the previous years. I don't presume to understand how God deals with all this, but I have a strong sense that this year He intends to forgive all the Jews of all their sins, even for rejecting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, nearly 2000 years ago!!! Even in rejecting Jesus, they have held to the belief that the one true Messiah would be revealed at some point in the future. Perhaps that time is shortly to come upon us! It makes sense, logically, that if this revelation is truly to come to pass, and if Jesus is the true Messiah of Israel, as I certainly believe He is now, and always has been (whether they believed it, or not), then God must truly forgive His Chosen People for not receiving Him, originally. What more appropriate time to do so than at this time of year! The reason I feel it may be now is because of all the clues that suggest that Russia's Putin seems to be determined to set the Ezekiel 38, & 39 prophecies into motion. If so, these prophecies have as their ultimate purpose God's spoken intention to "reveal" Himself to His Chosen People. He cannot "reveal" Himself to someone unless He has not already done so, (or, at least, He has not yet done so in a sufficiently dramatic way to convince even the greatest skeptics) therefore, I as a believing Christian expect that this means He will reveal Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ!
Certainly, this is all predicated on my presumption that Putin is about to bring his Russian Army's invasion into the Middle-East soon, so God can "glorify Himself" by defeating them, and their allied Muslim Nations' Armies, by somehow turning their evil ways back on each other ("every man's sword shall be against his brother"-- Ezekiel 38:21), until they have destroyed up to 83 1/3rd.% of their Invasion force. I am fully prepared to become the laughing stock of the Internet Blogging World, if none of this comes to pass as soon as I expect it will. God has not given me any special insight that I'm aware of concerning these prophecies; it's all there, in black and white for all of you to check out and see if what I'm expecting makes sense, or not. Of course, even if it makes sense, it doesn't have to meet my expectations. God has not yet asked my permission to bring about anything that He has prophecied, and I don't expect Him to do so, any time soon! But it does all seem to fit into His prophetic "Jigsaw Puzzle", at least to me. But, make no mistake! It will all come to pass, I just can't be certain of the timing. But it will all happen, whether tomorrow, or long after I'm gone; it will happen! Of that much I am confident in saying!
I have to wonder if chemical warfare will be a part of this invasion. The Muslim armies will be intent upon total genocidal murder of every man, woman, and child residing in Israel today (and their previous use of local Muslim civilian populations as shields from Israeli retaliation shows they have no concern for their own Muslim civilians living there). The Syrian rebellion has shown a willingness to use chemical warfare on each other, by both sides. And the Russians interceded to voluntarily "dispose of" Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons. Perhaps they did so as efficiently as the Iranians are expected to self-regulate any violations of their recently signed Nuclear development treaty! The description of Jesus' prophetic warnings, in Matthew 24, verses 15 through 24 (admonishing all believing Jews to, "head for the hills", in effect, or to remain in high-level buildings) sounds like chemical warfare to me (when many of the chemical toxins are heavier than air, and will hug the earth's surface until they dissipate). But those warnings seem to be His prophecies about the timing of His return, which the Ezekiel prophecies seem to precede, at least to my understanding. Perhaps chemical warfare will be tried, unsuccessfully now, with God perhaps causing the prevailing winds to blow the chemicals back on the perpetrators (would this fit the bill for, "every man's sword..."?). Then future invaders might think they could do a better job than their predecessors, not that it will make any difference with God!
Anyway, we shall know if I'm right about any, or all of this real soon. And while I hope I'm not about to become the world's biggest internet buffoon, if that's the way of it, then fine! I don't really mind. I've been a fool for myself all my life, so I might as well try being a fool for Christ, only I hope I don't sully His Name in the process. It's not as bad as having some hungry, Roman lion drag me around the Circus Maximus, with my throat in his jaws! And I've seen that portrayed on some of their murals! If this is what constitutes being a "fool for Christ", then so be it! Only, if I'm wrong about the timing, don't think for a second that this means I'm wrong about the whole prophecy! God never told me of the "when" of these prophecies; only the "what", in general. So don't pack your bags, and wait to be picked up by Angelic flying saucers on some hillside. I'm merely making an "educated guess" about the timing. But the rest of the prophecy will stand on it's own merit, for those who care to consider it. It will not need my approval to come to pass in God's own good time, whether I'm correct in my guess, or not.

Blood On The Moon
Much has been written, especially in the past year, about the so-called Tetrarch of "Blood Moons" that have appeared in the past year, when the partial eclipse of the sun causes the refraction of sunlight on one part of the earth's atmosphere to cause the Moon to seem to glow a reddish, or rose color, thus the moniker of "Blood Moons". The current so-called "Tetrarch" of "Blood Moons" refers to the sequence of four successive "Blood Moons, occurring between the dates that coincided with the Jewish Passover celebrations of 2014, and 2015, and the date coinciding with the commemoration of the Jewish High Holy Day of "Yom Kippur", in 2014. The final "Blood Moon" of this Tetrarch is set to coincide, roughly, with the keeping of "Yom Kippur" this year, which will be on September 22nd, and 23rd. The "Blood Moon" will not actually appear until September 28th, however.
So, what is the significance of all this? Perhaps nothing. But, it has been noted that this rare sequence of phenomenon has coincided in the past with events that had a special significance for the Jewish people throughout history.
First, it coincided in 1492 with Columbus' discovery of "the new world" which included America, a land which would be relatively receptive to Jewish immigration, over the next several centuries. This was especially significant because of the Spanish eviction of all Jews, on pain of death, from Spain, shortly before King Ferdinand's (or more specifically, his wife, Queen Isabella's) commissioning of Columbus' expedition to find the "new world".
Secondly, in 1948 another "Tetrarch" coincided roughly with the vote of the U.N. to re-establish the Jewish homeland in present-day Israel. Thirdly, another one coincided roughly with the capture of East Jerusalem (in 1967), re-uniting their capital city for the first time in almost 2000 years. So, Biblical scholars have placed spirirtual significance upon these phenomenon over the centuries, and it seems believable that this one may be the most significant of all!
To appreciate fully the possible significance of all this, one must bare in mind that God has not given up on His "Chosen people" (Israel), even though He has seemed to have turned a deaf ear to them for most of the nearly 2000 years, since "they" (or their spiritual Leaders, the "Pharisees", and "Sadducees" of the day) rejected Jesus as their Messiah, and had Him crucified. He has provided various homelands for them, and even returned them to their original Homeland, Israel, which may be about to endure it's greatest threat in history, with the possible Gog/Magog invasion of the Middle-East being set up now, with Russia leading the way by equipping an Air Base along the Northwest coast of Syria, austensably to aid Syria's defense against their rebel invaders. But, unless I miss my guess, I'll bet the real purpose for the buildup is to facilitate Putin's plan to invade the entire Middle-East region, and capture the Arab oil fields of the Gulf States. I expect that he will try to do this while keeping Israel at bay with an invasion by their murderous Muslim neighbors, while our lily-livered President sits in the White House, and makes profound Diplomatic inquiries of Putin, like, "have you come...to take a great spoil???" (see Ezekiel 38: 13, for that one).
The ultimate significance of the timing, in coincidence with the "Blood Moons" is that the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur commemorates the time of year when all Jews are supposed to ask God to forgive them of their sins. The Ezekiel 38, & 39 Prophecies state that God is going to "reveal" himself to His "Chosen People", by delivering them, somehow, from their would-be murderous invaders, in turning their violence back on themselves ("every man's sword shall be against his brother"), until they have destroyed 83 1/3rd% of their invasion force ("upon the mountains of Israel"). This is apparently how God intends to reveal to the Jewish people of Israel that He still loves them, and He will protect them from their enemies! I wouldn't be surprised if this all took place between the dates of Yom Kippur, on September 23rd., and the appearance of the last "Blood Moon", on September 28th. I believe it was the 1972 Arab/Israeli War that was dubbed the "Yom Kippur War", because the Arabs initiated their invasion on the day Israeli Jews were about to celebrate Yom Kippur, knowing that this would complicate the assembling of the Israeli Army Reserves. They might be stupid enough to think it could work better this time around.
I realize I'm hanging what little credibility I have up for potential ridicule if these biblical fantasies turn out to be nothing more than that. Perhaps I'm wrong; but if I'm right get set for the "Rapture"!!!
Stay tuned, and remember to keep "looking up"!
So, what is the significance of all this? Perhaps nothing. But, it has been noted that this rare sequence of phenomenon has coincided in the past with events that had a special significance for the Jewish people throughout history.
First, it coincided in 1492 with Columbus' discovery of "the new world" which included America, a land which would be relatively receptive to Jewish immigration, over the next several centuries. This was especially significant because of the Spanish eviction of all Jews, on pain of death, from Spain, shortly before King Ferdinand's (or more specifically, his wife, Queen Isabella's) commissioning of Columbus' expedition to find the "new world".
Secondly, in 1948 another "Tetrarch" coincided roughly with the vote of the U.N. to re-establish the Jewish homeland in present-day Israel. Thirdly, another one coincided roughly with the capture of East Jerusalem (in 1967), re-uniting their capital city for the first time in almost 2000 years. So, Biblical scholars have placed spirirtual significance upon these phenomenon over the centuries, and it seems believable that this one may be the most significant of all!
To appreciate fully the possible significance of all this, one must bare in mind that God has not given up on His "Chosen people" (Israel), even though He has seemed to have turned a deaf ear to them for most of the nearly 2000 years, since "they" (or their spiritual Leaders, the "Pharisees", and "Sadducees" of the day) rejected Jesus as their Messiah, and had Him crucified. He has provided various homelands for them, and even returned them to their original Homeland, Israel, which may be about to endure it's greatest threat in history, with the possible Gog/Magog invasion of the Middle-East being set up now, with Russia leading the way by equipping an Air Base along the Northwest coast of Syria, austensably to aid Syria's defense against their rebel invaders. But, unless I miss my guess, I'll bet the real purpose for the buildup is to facilitate Putin's plan to invade the entire Middle-East region, and capture the Arab oil fields of the Gulf States. I expect that he will try to do this while keeping Israel at bay with an invasion by their murderous Muslim neighbors, while our lily-livered President sits in the White House, and makes profound Diplomatic inquiries of Putin, like, "have you come...to take a great spoil???" (see Ezekiel 38: 13, for that one).

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!!!
