The Spirit of Anti-Christ -

The amazing thing about these conspiracy theories is not whether they are legit or not but the fact that people have the need to fabricate this stuff with gross repetition and the fact that people are hungry for peace.




The Bible teaches that in the last days, people will be yearning for world peace (not God's peace) and eventually fall for the one who will come counterfeiting the works of God in order to fool people who are already in denial of Christ the Lord. Because of their denial of Christ, people will be fooled and lead by this soon-to-come- world leader, and the end result will be global domination, a one-world government, and the emergence of satanic universal control that will usher in the last days as we know it.



Okay, I added some dramatic apocalyptic language in there for some added drama but truthfully, every time this type of language has been used in any type of media source including Hollywood or fiction books, its because the Bible has always been the ORIGINAL SOURCE of this type of message throughout the ages, and that's where it all originated from!



(The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, 2012, Armageddon, just to name a few of the recent movies.)



Any other predictions of the end of the age or the end of life like Nostradamus, the Mayan calendar, etc.,are only shadowy comparisons to what the Bible predicts about the end of days! (Read Matthew chapter 24)





As things become more and more desperate in our world (famine, wars, catastrophes, deceases, corruption, social inequalities, etc.) and just about everyone agrees these conditions are increasing; we'll see the rise of agencies and political powers that will point in the direction of global solutions. The agendas and ideologies that will stick will be the one's that include:



A- universal economic policies

B- universal religious inclusivity.



On the surface, this seems all good but when you shine the light of Biblical prophesy over this, you see the truth, and what it's really about.



Yes, the only reason why this seems like a Hollywood production is because again, Hollywood and Disney have earned billions of dollars recreating and plagiarizing these scripts right out of the pages of the Bible for years!



For decades, agencies dedicated to the unification of global powers have been in existence. And the ideology of combining "all religions" is not new either. Many have tried to say that all major religions have the same attributes of peace in common and thus can be combined. This isn't about all of us joining hands to sing "Kumbaya" but rather to sow the seed of a one-world religious ideology.



This ideology usually takes the form of what a lot of people are calling "Christ Conscientiousness" and what they call the combining the goodness of all teachers of peace together (Gandhi, Buddha, Mother Theresa, Mohammad, Jesus, the Dali lama, etc.).



A lot of new-agers and high profile TV personalities like Oprah are preaching this without pulpits.



These philosophies, ideologies and teachings that are conceptualized and suggested in the media to the masses and in all it's subtle forms, are taking root in people's minds and will one day be a big enough influence to take root in perceptions about what is truth.



Therefore, any political or religious body that determines to become overly INCLUSIVE for the sake of spiritual or economical cohesiveness is one we should all be weary of.



The video presented is something I came across on YouTube a few years ago regarding man named Benjamin Creme who has been announcing the coming of a "World Teacher, Maitreya" for over 30 years. The figure who is supposed to come is largely regarded as someone who is supposed to teach the world "how to do it", how to live in peace and share the world's resources, etc. Apparently, in his latest video Creme states that finally, the Maitreya has appeared on a national TV program and watched by over 12 million people but hasn't revealed himself as Maitreya but as "one of us" as Mr. Creme puts it.



Even non religious people can see that this rings way too much like the coming of the anti-Christ! But I find that like I've mentioned above, the need for a world leader to come and find a way to global peace and harmony in economy and religion, is in the hearts of many. What can't be denied is that people all over the world are looking for their peace maker to come. Islam which has worshippers in the billions, have an apocalyptic figure who's to come and make peace also.



So the world is dying for some peace maker to come and bring all the answers - whether they are religious or not!



So much so that all that is needed is for that ONE person to come and actually FIND a global peace and economic plan and that will be enough to tip the utopia right over the edge into all out acceptance!



Yes, the world is indeed that gullible!

The Germans were with Hitler and history has the bad habit of repeating itself. Who doesn't know mankind is predictable?

Do not hinder the children !!!

Our child at 12 weeks

"But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God." -  Mark 10:14

Let us suffer to bring up our children in the fear of God as commanded by our Lord.
To fear Him is to know Him, to know Him is to love Him, to love Him is to depend on Him in everything, and to depend on Him in everything, is to inherit the kingdom of heaven.

The signs of the times!

The 3rd Jewish Temple is underway!!



For 20 years now, the plans for the restoration of the 3rd Jewish Temple of God has been in the works in Isreal. Today, the Temple Institute in Isreal has completed the blueprint and the model of what the 3rd Temple will look like, they've trained and designated people for temple service and have constructed and prepared all the temple service instruments and garb.



Everything is set in place to begin building. The Jews are convinced that the location of the temple is located at the highest point of the temple mount which is now occupied by the dome of the rock. The area is now controlled by Islamists who control the temple mount and consider the dome of the rock to be the 3rd holiest sight in Islam. But the jews are convinced that if they were able to escavate under the dome of the rock, they would find enough artifacts to prove that the dome was built in the exact location where the 2 previous Jewish temples stood. Islamists deny that the previous jewish temples were in the same location where the dome of the rock now sits but the Jews claim that muslims routinly created an area of worship over previous jewish sites of worship.



Today, political powers are working towards having both Islamists and Jews share worship time at the temple mount.



Christians follow biblical phophesies that describe that the 3rd Jewish temple will indeed be built with the assistance of a man of "peace" that will come and offer a peaceful solution for the jews and arabs in that area. However, this man and political force will later turn on the Jewish people, and persecute them, and thus the world will find itself in the last days of human history.

“... But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."   - Mark 13:14

"... And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” - Daniel 9:27

"...His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. - Daniel 11:31

 

..."And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening. You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.... " Matthew 16: 1-3

THE WORTHY RACE TO RUN:

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

- 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

CORNY FB WALL MESSAGES:

Sometimes you just have to ask why are Facebook walls draped with so much self-help, motivational- pep talk-type positive messages directed towards people? Why is the self-help section In every book store SOOOO huge???



I'm not asking why these things exist, I'm asking why are they so prevalent and take up so much room in our lives???



Have you ever noticed that MOST of these messages ARE NOT new ideas or new philosophies but simply REMINDERS of things and concepts we already know and understand?



So why do we have to continually be reminded about the same ol things day to day, to day, to day in order to cope.. etc. ????



Things like, "When you fall down, if you can look up, you can get up".... by Wes Brown (one of my personal favorites).



Or .... "If you think positive, you'll be positive".



In the early 90's I was very much into a lot of motivational speakers like We Brown, Napoleon Hill, Wayne Dyer, etc.





These are simply "perspectives" that we already knew but somehow needed to be reminded of in order to alter our current state of mind from negative to positive. Perhaps b/c of the situation or frustration or dilemma we're currently in.. we're not able to re-focus back to a state of mind that we should have been in to begin with.



So if we would have been in that state of mind to begin with (positive), we probably would not have had to be reminded to go back to that "positive" state of mind. ...hmmm? Ever consider that?



But the problem is #1 why do we have to continually be reminded, and re-reminded over and over again to get back to these "positive" perspectives? As we know, we have to deal w/ dilemmas every single day. And as soon as one dilemma seems to disappear, we learn that tomorrow brings 3 more dilemmas in life. Isn't this true?



So why can't we stay in that positive state of mind knowing fully well that problems, frustrations and issues are such a normal part of life??



Or is it that even with all the self-help, positive thinking and pep talk we read and receive,.... it's still not enough? So then although we hear all those positive messages... we turn around and say.... "yeah, yeah, I know, I know".... but the issues and the problems are MORE than these "would be" motivational antidotes.



I believe that this is the case. Although we all like and appreciate all those pep-talk, positive and self-help motivational messages... it's just NOT ENOUGH for us as humans.

It's one thing to HEAR them and another thing to LIVE them.

It would be ultra-difficult to know WHY this is the case but for ONE REASON.

... Because these are EMPTY PROMISES. They're good messages but empty promises. To me, a promise is anything that is suppose to achieve and sustain that which was sought after. And in most cases, these messages make us feel good but then by the end of the day if not, 5 mins later, we feel empty again.



These positive messages, although they tickle the consciousness, they do little to penetrate the individual soul. And now you're thinking this sounds a little too "SUPERNATURAL"..... It's because it is! IT'S SPIRITUAL.



As you know, many people can't tap in to real Spirituality. The Bible teaches that true spirituality can only be attained by a personal relationship with God, Jesus Christ.



So although the Bible doesn't teach that we're supposed to live in bliss here on earth before He returns, it does teach something that NO empty motivational message can ever do for us.



It teaches that God promises to be there with us if we truly love him.



"All things work together for good to those who love God". - Romans 8:28



"Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all its righteousness and everything else will be added unto you". - Matt. 6:33



"That where your treasures are .... your heart will be also". - Matt. 6:21



"If anyone thirst let them come to me"! - John 7:37




So here we see that whatever we desire the most will motivate where we derive our happiness from.



If one's happiness is derived from a strong desire for power then nothing on earth, not even the most awesome motivational messages will satisfy the soul because it's that one thing we're stuck on that's keeping us from appreciating life.



If we're lonely and only the "perfect man or woman we seek" is where we derive our happiness from... then we can't move on until we find that person we desire.

Sometimes what we desire for ourselves isn't what a perfect God would want for His child.

God doesn't operate on the limitations of time but we do... and we can't see the end from the beginning like God can. God says


" I'm the beginning and the end ". - Rev. 22:13.



So we see that we have to continually pop the empty calories of self-help, motivational pep talk messages but it will never edify the soul..... because only a TRUE relationship with Christ will get us to stop searching. You can only stop searching when you've FOUND the Truth. The Bible teaches .... "And you will KNOW the Truth and the Truth will set you free". Jesus said....



" I AM the TRUTH, the way and the life...." - John 14:6



One can only be set free by FINDING and then KNOWING the Truth and Jesus is the Truth.


Now we see that there's a big diff. between positive messages that have NO substance to them and promises of God that HAVE substance, foundation, Truth to them.



A major difference.



And although bliss is never promised while on earth..... "Jesus said ...


" I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” -   John 16:33



From now on... let a TRUE relationship with Christ be the foundation of our motivation to go through life. Not some empty words that are candy-coated around OUR OWN HUMAN limitations. Our strength within doesn't even exist apart from God. Instead, let the constant need of those empty positive messages be a proof to us that we obviously need MORE to hold on to. Strength only comes from within.... IF we have Christ w/in us.



Consider these scripture verses....



"Apart from me, you can do nothing" ... - John 15:5

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" ... - Phil 4:13

"Ask anything in my name and you shall receive".... - John 14:14

To God be the glory always, amen!

COLORADO SHOOTING (AGAIN)

70 people shot, 12 people dead in that Colorado movie theatre.




And still people are in the media trying to shift blame away from our violent gun-happy, shoot 'em up culture!



Ironically, it was said that two new violent action movies were postponed from coming out this weekend because of this Colorado incident.



Still therapists and many people in the acting world say that statistics can't demonstrate a correlation between many years of violent movies, video games and music to weak-minded individuals who just happen to snap, and turn violent out of nowhere.



I guess in this case, it was a coincidence that this young dude was rumored to have been obsessed with the Batman movie.



In the courts, mental illness is usually ruled out whenever premeditation is established. In this case, you can't mount up a small army-like arsenal of firearms, setup a master plan of of mass murder in a movie theatre and boobie-trap your own apartment, and not find premeditation.



Not far from the shootings, I believe is where the 24 year old man, James Holmes purchased his murder weapons. In Colorado, there is very little restriction from purchasing sling shots, hunting equipment and mass murder weaponry that should only be used by our nation's military.



When I think about how more advanced in military weaponry our average thugs are in comparison to our past military personnel who have protected our freedom in past wars, I truly freak out.   What a shame that this creep, holmes' grandfather was said to be a decorated Lt. Col. who served in the Okinawa campaign during World War II, and retired in 1963.  His murderer grandson used more advanced military weapons to attack and kill the people his grandfather risked his life for in WW II.



And how ANY justification can be found for owning a flame thrower or a 50 caliber machine gun... words can't express! But you can actually purchase these in some states.



None of this should shock people but it should really anger us b/c there's a huge section of the American people that are stubbornly blind. How can anyone say that violence is not on the rise? How can people not see that our society is taking a very obvious nose dive into hellish depravity?



The saturation of mounting accounts in the news of elder abuse, child abuse, spousal abuse, murder-suicides, pedophiles, robberies, terrorism, mass murder, drug cartel related murders, narcotics overdose deaths, etc, etc.



When citizens can literally see what's going on in their streets, read their newspapers for themselves, etc. Someone will always come around and say that violent crime is down by some percentage...



I say, "Don't believe the hype"!


And for those people who defend the notion of a small percentage of people who snap after being influenced by violent media... we have to remember that the individual's goal is to "take out" as many as possible in one sitting!  In this case for example, we're talking 70 families that are now affected by this violent trauma to their lives!  That doesn't add up to small numbers to me.


Where else do young people not involved in anti-government militias or military training learn how to strap-up and execute a mass murder like this? Could it be the plethora of mass murder simulation video games young dudes are exposed to.. or perhaps all those bloody and gory movies that keep coming out?... nawwww! It can't be!



Then what could it be????.... It's not mental illness.... It's not the anger, evil and mass murder in today's movies... then what could it be? 



Truth is common sense ALWAYS defeats statistics. Because you can't rely on statistics. Stats can be biased ... but when you're honest and you have just a humble amount of common sense, you don't need the blind to show you the way or the truth.



Things are bad and the Bible teaches that in the "last days", they're expected to get worst. Question is.... are these the last days?



"... And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

- Matthew 24:12

The Microchip is here!

The following link is regarding companies here in the US that are planning to merge together to create the type of microchip technologies Christians everywhere have feared. The article quickly opens up on the obvious criticism from Christians with references found in the Bible in a mocking type fashion. The article then misinterprets scripture by suggesting that the anti-christ will actually appear like his description in the book of Revelation.

What is shocking however is not whether these companies will eventually merge or whether the government will purchase this technology, or even whether it'll be used for storing people's private information (for medical tracking, ID storing, monetary credit, etc.) but that the technology is already in existance; and it surely is.   The article doesn't deny that these products merging can not set in place this type of data collecting.

It's just a matter of time when it'll be put to use for the above necessities by whatever "powers that be".

"Keep watch then because you don't know the day nor the hour when the Son of man will come"
                 - Matthew 25:13

As it is now, there are consumer reporting corporations that collect people's online activity to be able to sell off our private data, and although they claim what they do is legal, investigating the data that they collect is not happening and there doesn't seem to be any regulation.  Acxiom corp out of Arkansas is one of those companies.
