Wide-eyed-warnings & Goofy-grins

By Mrs. Deadken

There was a time in my life when Christians annoyed me. I remember them approaching me, thumpin’ their Bibles with their wide-eyed warnings and goofy grins. I was confused at how they could talk about the love and salvation of Jesus and the evil and destructive Apocalypse in the same breath. I remember them cautioning that I needed to prepare myself for Christ’s return because “the end was near”. I rejected their message and inwardly scoffed at how presumptuous and brainwashed I felt they were. Looking back, I realize that I refused to listen and study the Bible because I did not want the Christians to be right - my treasures were here on earth and I was not interested in focusing on the hereafter (”There are none who are as deaf as those who do not want to hear”). However, human beings are both flesh and spirit. Although my flesh was clinging to this world, my spirit ached for the eternal - and demanded that I do my homework.

So…
fast forward, here I am - a Bible thumper. I now understand the urgency behind the wide-eyed warnings and the love and hope behind the goofy grins. I understand that the Bible stands alone as God’s word to man and that no other book in human history speaks of the future like the Bible. Just as the B.C. generations were called to study Messianic prophecy in order to recognize Christ’s First Coming, we are called to study End Times prophecy to recognize the signs of His Second Coming. I have had amazing opportunities to learn from some of the best Bible prophecy/Middle East experts from around the world. How do they know that we are headed toward the tribulation hour? We are among the first generations to understand the following:

“Rise in scoffers/deception”
The Bible warns that near the End Times, there will be a rise in people scoffing at the Bible, Christians, and talk of Christ’s return. “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” (2 Peter 3:2) If you’re scoffing right now – you are a part of prophecy fulfilled ;). There will also be a rise in false teachers, false prophets, cults, messages that contradict the Bible and appeal to people’s sinful nature. Many of us are frustrated with the blatant displays of evil and abhorrence of facts, logic, reason… how some people can’t see the obvious. Daniel 12:10 warned us that in the end “The wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” 2 Timothy 3:6-7 tries to explain that ignorance of the Bible will lead to deception. As my pastor put it, “If you don’t know your Bible, you will be fooled.”

“Rise in pestilence, famines, earthquakes, natural disasters”
(Matthew 24:3-7) I recently had a government official at my school site. His job was to prepare/inform our staff of the procedures for lock down/quarantine concerning the spread of highly contagious pan epidemic flus/viruses. The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration stated that over the past 25 years we’ve experienced an increase in super storms and earthquakes like the world has never seen. According to Rev 16:18-20:”There will be such a mighty and great earthquake as has not occurred since men were on the earth. Then every island will flee away, and the mountains will not be found.” Liberals have their scapegoat ready to go: Global Warming. The Left has appropriately renamed their religion “Climate Change”… and yes, our climate is and will continue to make some serious changes.

“Rebirth of Israel”
After the Romans sacked Jerusalem in 70 AD, the Jews were scattered across the earth - just as prophecy predicted (Deuteronomy 28:64). On May 14, 1948, after almost 1900 years, Israel became a state again and the Jews returned home. This event fulfilled Bible prophecy (Deut. 30:5, Is. 11:11-12, Ez. 36:24, Is. 66:8), and was nothing short of a miracle. Through his parables, Jesus cautioned that when Israel regains sovereignty, you will know that the End Times and Kingdom of God is near.

“Wars and rumors of wars”
“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:6-7). Wars are occurring all around the world, but the ultimate and final battle will be for Jerusalem. The demonic ideology of antisemitism is on the rise again. The Bible warns us of God’s punishment on the nation’s that divide Israel’s land (yet that is EXACTLY what we are trying to do) and that in the end, ALL nations will rise up against Israel and be punished for it (Zech 12:3, Joel 3:2). Revelation 9:16 discusses an army of 200 million that (combined with pestilence and natural disasters) will wipe out a third of mankind. As the world’s population rises above 6 billion, it is increasingly possible to amass an army of 200 million, but this would have been unthinkable even 100 years ago. In Zechariah 14:12, concerning the final battle it states “Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, and their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.” Past generations did not understand this type of instant and complete destruction, but we do – it’s describing how the human body reacts when exposed to an H-bomb.

“Knowledge Explosion”
The book of Daniel describes a great increase of knowledge that the world will experience towards the End Times. Revelations discusses how people from around the globe will be able to access knowledge instantly and simultaneously, that people from all over the world will watch the apocalyptic events as they are unfolding. While this was incomprehensible to past generations, it is common practice for us today thanks to television/internet/satellite (can we say web cams, cell phone videos, You Tube?). Our generation also understands how technology has paved the way for “the mark of the beast” (possibly a micro chip) that a person will have to have in order to “buy or sell”. This mark will also show your allegiance to the anti-Christ and his One World Religion. According to Rev. 20:4, those who refuse the mark will be beheaded. How is it that something as barbaric and ancient as beheadings will be common practice in the future? Here’s a possibility: “I will cast dread into the heart of the infidels: Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger-tip” (Koran, Sura 8:12)

“Every single country mentioned in the Scriptures, regarding the end of time, that God punishes, for attacking Israel, is Muslim today… Do you have 365 days, eight hours a day, so I can show you what the Bible says about the coming Islamic invasion of the world? It’s all over Scripture! God didn’t forget to tell us. You forgot to read the Bible. It is all in there.” ~Walid Shoebat

Walid Shoebat is an ex-PLO terrorist and converted Muslim. As he studied the Bible he realized that Islam’s savior, Mahdi (aka: the Twelfth Imam) is the anti-Christ of the Bible. According to Shoebat, the Bible names the anti-Christ as ruler of the world, but specifically names: “Assyrian” (Syria),”Persian” (Iran), “King of Babylon” (Iraq), “Prince of Tyre” (Lebanon), “Pharoah of Egypt”. The anti-Christ will want to change time (hello lunar calendar), change laws (hello Sharia), will have a disdain for women (hello burka) and persecute Christians, Jews and all others who refuse to accept him (hello infidels) (Daniel 7:25, 11:37, Revelations). The Islamic world has announced that Mahdi will be returning soon. According to Islamic belief, Mahdi will dominate the world, confirm a peace treaty, abolish the treaty half way through (what is known to Muslims as hudna and al-taqiyya), persecute the infidels, attempt to destroy Israel… sound familiar? It’s not only Bible prophecy (Zechariah, Daniel, Revelations) it’s Islamic prophecy as well.

Jesus says that although we will not know the exact hour, we will know He is returning by the signs. “So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near – at the doors”. (Mark 13:29)

With wars raging, the dollar falling, Islam rising, natural disasters and pan epidemics looming, our choice of candidates for the ‘08 elections - why the goofy grin? I have found the ultimate treasure and it is not of this world.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-20

Four British police officers under surveillance after being identified as possible Al Qaeda spies.

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Very disturbing reports are coming out of London that Four British police officers are under surveillance after being identified as possible Al Qaeda spies.

If this turns out to be the case, it will mark a serious escalation in the radical muslim assault on civilized society, by infiltrating the very government organizations that should be protecting it’s citizens, with the intent of doing them intentional harm.

According to the reports, they were planted to keep Al Qaeda abreast of anti-terror raids planned by London’s Metropolitan Police. It is of course not too far fetched to suggest that these same times of spying operations are being attempted in the U.S. as well.

Look my friends, I’ve had people close to me unfortunately look at me like I have three heads all of the sudden, when I tell them that we’re reaching critical mass in a Holy war, & that they’d better forget the idea that the Government alone will protect them from it. The truth is that the only protection from it is to allow law abiding citizens to bear arms, as was & still is provided for in the second amendment of the U.S. constitution.

It is no longer safe to have only “Police Officers” walking around with side arms & assault rifles, since we clearly don’t know who they really are in “some” cases. Now with that said, I want to stress that I’m not suggesting that all or most of our Police in the world have been corrupted. I am however suggesting that they are not Gods & clearly should not be given unfettered power over citizens. Currently I believe that most police officers in society are utmost professionals, & have human interests at the top of their priority list, however that is only being held together (at least here in the U.S.) again, by the provisions of our U.S. Constitution such as the 4th Amendment, which is being slowly attacked by rogue leftist elements in the judiciary, & the radical left itself. It reads as follows:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The problem of course, is that we now have corrupt judges getting into the legal system, & ignoring the U.S. Constitution. Some of these would think nothing of signing a warrant to arrest or harass a citizen who goes against the political, religious or social ideology of that judge. A good example of this disturbing trend towards a rogue & tyrannical judiciary, is this judge who ignored the Constitutional Rights of an individual who wanted to join the Marine Corps, based on her own political & social biases. She does not believe in the war in Iraq, so there for all others must bow to her will. That’s doesn’t sound like democracy to me. If things were right, she’d be disbarred for her ignorance of the freedoms that God & our Constitution provide us.

In another example of Judicial Abuse, this week a judge in California (the nanny state) ruled that parents who home school their children without “teaching credentials”, are breaking the law, & therefore subject to criminal penalties. I wrote about this in detail here, & the potential repercussions of such an irresponsible & unconstitutional ruling.

The problem “in part” has arisen from an interesting yet sad dynamic in todays society, whereby those who truly adhere to the teachings of God, want to work hard & make a positive difference in the lives of others, while increasingly, those who are lazy & evil, want to pontificate over everyone else from the power of a position that is protected by beauracracy, the confusions of moral relativism, & the blurry policies of totalitarian rule.

Our forefathers in their God given wisdom saw this coming, & nobody put it into words better than Thomas Jefferson when he said:

“The germ of destruction of our nation is in the power of the judiciary, an irresponsible body — working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdication, until all shall render powerless the checks of one branch over the other and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated.”
–Thomas Jefferson (1821)

Yes, I know, some people will call me a radical for suggesting that we well… adhere to the ideas of our forefathers, but that’s ok, because as the shit really begins to hit the fan in our own country, some people will look back & wonder why they didn’t take me serious.

It is people like these who are coming for your freedoms. They have been corrupted by the taste of power, & will eventually bow to whatever force shows itself as the most likely to shed their blood. These are not the courageous public servants of yesterday. They are power brokers who’s only motivation is staying alive, & storing up as much power & riches as they can before their dying day.

They will eventually sell us out to Al Qaeda & radical islam en masse, & share in an attempt to share in the spoils of a new world government, without conflict. But eventually they will see that they’ve been deceived by a devil who shares nothing with anyone, & especially not freedom, not even with the wicked who follow him.

We have Democrats vying for power as we speak, who would love nothing more than to disarm every US citizen, & give in to terrorist demands in hopes of sharing in the spoils of a globalized government who upsets no one, & appeases everyone. It’s neurotic, & it’s coming to a state house near you, if you don’t stand up.

Does this sound far fetched? Maybe… But not any more so than Al Qaeda policeman in the U.K. ~Dan Lee
