The Middle East is on the brink of a much wider war

Posted on by Don

What is happening in the Middle East today does not fit the prophecies of the Psalm 83 or Ezekiel 38, 39 war. I think that those that are thinking that one of these wars is about to play out as soon as there is some military attack by Israel or against Israel are not reading the situation correctly. That is not to say that a much wider war in the Middle East is not about to take place. I think a war this year with Syria, Hezbollah, Iran and others is all but inevitable for Israel but that war will be neither of these two biblical wars.… continue reading

2013 update to the coming crash caused by world debt

Posted on by Don

I thought it was time to update my coming economic crash caused by world debt article. That article is still receiving a few thousand downloads a month, so updating it seems appropriate. Some think everything is fine now and we are on our way to economic recovery but this update should dispel that myth.

I can’t post the whole update or article here because it is posted elsewhere on this site and I would end up with a duplicate content penalty by the search engines. Therefore, you will have to follow the link at the end of this post to read most of what I said in the update and the original article. … continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues May 2013

Posted on by Don

As you probably already know Israel bombed targets inside of Syria recently. The word from Assad is that if it happens again He will declare war on Israel. Even so, I think that Assad should have received the message that it will not be in his best interest to allow advanced weapons from Iran to be transferred to Hezbollah through Syria.

I am sure that either Iran conspired with Assad to allow the weapons transfer, or Hezbollah is running its own show in Syria. It could be that Assad and Iran are hoping that if Israel keeps attacking Syria it will get the different factions fighting against Assad to come together to fight against Israel.… continue reading

The postmodern media plague of unreliable sources and information

Posted on by Don

Have you noticed that a lot of information obtained from main stream media, alternative media, religious media, intelligence, and the Internet cannot be depended upon? How are people suppose to sort out the truth if they can’t find reliable sources for information? In this postmodern media plague where truth is what certain factions want it to be, we get half-truths, disinformation and outright lies. The media “facts” given to us today turn out to be fabrications tomorrow. Whatever the headlines of great interest are this week will not even be mentioned next week if it does not advance the government or media agenda.… continue reading

The Satanic world system is rapidly progressing toward Antichrist

Posted on by Don

With so many people calling themselves “progressives” these days you would think that the progressives would have made some progress over the years but it looks to me like this Satanic world system is now rapidly progressing toward the Antichrist and its own doom.

The hippie generation of the 1960’s thought they were about to  enter the age of Aquarius where peace would guide the planets and love will steer the stars. The old communist hippies and their progressive offspring are now ruling the world and these godless diehards are still singing the same utopian song. Even so, the reality coming upon the earth will have somewhat different lyrics than that old Fifth Dimension’s song.… continue reading

Analysis of the North Korean threat and America’s weak response

Posted on by Don

The world has been told by the Obama administration that Obama does not bluff. However, apparently leaders in North Korea, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere do not believe him. Many leaders think that Obama is bluffing because like Presidents Clinton and Carter he is so wishy-washy predictable. The “progressive” leaders of America always take the politically correct way that is blessed by the globalist progressive appeasers.

Obama bluffed North Korea by sending a few ships and nuclear bombers and having a joint exercise with South Korea as a show of force that we will not put up with their nuclear weapons development program.… continue reading

Koenigs perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues Apr 2013

Posted on by Don

John Adams indicated that the American system of government is only possible for a moral people. That leaves out fools. Look around at the immorality that the majority of people in this country are now doing, supporting or enabling. America is becoming a nation of the fools, by the fools, and for the fools. This is the latest American reality show. Need I say any more on the state of our Union on April fools day 2013?

————————————————————————————————————-

If you want an foreign example of a April fool, just look to North Korea. Their new young leader, Kim Jong Un, says that North Korea is at war with South Korea and the United States.… continue reading

Global elite believe world turmoil leads to their utopian end

Posted on by Don

It seems that in Europe and America everyone is living for today. Many nations are spending their future and many people are spending their retirement accounts. It is like eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. Most might not confess to being that fatalistic but that seems to be evident in their choices and lifestyles.

All the national banks are now printing money like there is no tomorrow and if they continue to print excessive money they will ensure that this world economic system will not exist tomorrow. I think the global power elite pulling the strings know where all this will lead.… continue reading

Is Jesuit Pope Francis the Antichrist or the False Prophet?

Posted on by Don

This Blog deals with world and church trends and Bible prophecy so I would be remiss if I did not write something about the first Jesuit Pope ever to take the throne. Pope Francis now rules over half of what is called Christendom with its 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. This Pope will also have great influence with other world religious leaders and world governments.

I recently have already written on the supposed prophecy attributed to St. Malachy. The prophecy says that Peter the Roman will be the last Pope before Rome is destroyed and judgment comes on the world. This present Pope is the 112th Pope and last Pope on the Malachy list.… continue reading

Spiritual formation is gearing the Church up for self delusion

Posted on by Don

The greatest danger to Christianity today is the downplaying of biblical doctrine. The Church is built upon the word of God given to the prophets and the apostles for leading people to Christ and for maturing believers in the faith.

True Christianity is not built on personal feeling or what you think God is saying to you because you learned to practice certain spiritual disciplines. Yet, that is what many Christian leaders and Christian education centers are teaching others.

Spiritual formation is taught and is required in almost all Christian higher leaning centers today and the graduates then teach it from pulpits, in seminars, and in Christian books.… continue reading

Koenigs perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues Mar 2013

Posted on by Don

I was going to write about how the only hope for this nation was for wealthy people to pool their resource to start their own TV networks to counter the government controlled mainstream media brainwashing that is going on in America. However, even if there was the motivation, and there is not, there would not be enough time to change hearts and minds to change this nation before it self destructs. We simply do not have the time left to undue all the evil that was done over the last fifty years.

I also have come to the conclusion that mass repentance and conversion is just not going to happen in America.… continue reading

Looking back from the future at an Obamanation that led the world

Posted on by Don

You say you wanted an Obamanation? You thought he was the answer for all your problems because Obama was black and intended to play Robin Hood? You say he would give you things like an Obamaphone, so you voted for him six times? You say you always vote democrat because they care about the working man and the poor? Okay fine, now you low or no information voters and fellow travelers will live with the obvious consequences of electing a radical Marxist to lead America.

I do not say this lightly. Those that voted for Obama, voted for judgment on this nation.… continue reading

Satanic purpose of the Malachy last pope prophecy is deception

Posted on by Don

After I heard the announcement of the pope’s resignation, I figured that people would suddenly become interested in the St. Malachy prophecy and that Tom Horn’s book “Petrus Romanus” would once again become the topic of discussion all over the end time forums.

Apparently that turns out to be the case because the traffic to this website just doubled mainly became of an article that I wrote on this topic. That article was a book review and critique of Tom Horn’s 2012 book. I titled that post, Petrus Romanus: an exercise in finding the future in the demonic. 

At the rate of views that post is now receiving, I expect that article to move into the top ten on the top 100 viewed posts on the sidebar shortly.… continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues Feb 2013

Posted on by Don

The primary Windows XP computer system that I have used for almost 10 years crashed last week and would not boot into Windows. I tried everything to no avail, so I eventually reformatted the disk. I reloaded windows XP and tried to download service pack 2 and 3 from Microsoft but that is one experience that failed that I would not like to try to duplicate any time soon.

I finally came to the conclusion that it was not worth all the effort to get that computer on-line again since I had already moved quite a bit of what I needed to my new laptop computer.… continue reading

Ten signs that the American president is under demonic control

Posted on by Don

Presidents unfit for the office are something for secular historians to debate, but I think any President under the control of the Devil should be a major concern and prime focus of true Christians in America.

Ten signs that indicate that our America President is under demonic control

1. Promoting the killing of life in the womb here and all over the world.

2. Promoting homosexuality, sexual immorality and the destruction of marriage

3. Seeing that the Christian God and His Son are removed from the public arena

4. Rebellion against the laws of this nation (unconstitutional actions)

5. Self aggrandizement – narcissism – tyrannical –  thinking that he defines the law

6.… continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues Jan 2013

Posted on by Don

Obama laid out his gun plan like some Emperor-in-Chief talking down to his subjects. He claims that his program is the way to stop gun violence. It will not do that, because gun violence is just one symptom of the real disease called covetousness and hate.

Obama has done more to divide this nation and create class hate in this country than any president ever has. Obama’s real plan is to use the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy as a springboard to attack American Second Amendment rights. And I am sure he also knows that doing this will create move division and hate.… continue reading

Less quickening means more compressing of end time bible prophecy

Posted on by Don

Art Bell, on his radio program of the late 20th century, used to say that the earth had entered a period that he named “The Quickening”. Many in the late 20th century thought that we were at the end of the world or age as we knew it. Bell had one late night guest after another, telling his Dreamland listeners what would be coming upon on us in the next couple of years.

The guests ranged from secular prophets and remote viewers, to people that claimed to have various kinds of insider information about high level secrets. It made for great fiction, but the fantasy that was so often suggested, did not become reality just because some claimed it would.… continue reading

The godless cannot take away liberty with a God fearing military

Posted on by Don

Have you noticed that every time someone goes crazy with a gun, the humanistic “progressive” people want to take guns away from the sane people that could stop other crazies from shooting people? Are they afraid of the crazies getting guns, or are they really afraid that sane armed people might oppose the evil tyranny that many of these godless progressives promote?

I wonder how many Jews would have been spared, if they did not trust the Germans and armed themselves instead of giving up their guns to the state? You might think that with all their world history that they would have learned a thing or two, but even now, most Jews in America think that people should not own guns.… continue reading

Christians and Patriots ending 2012 with sounds of silence

Posted on by Don

I think the best way to end the New Year for Christians and Patriots is with a few minutes of Sounds of Silence.  (under “track listings” just click on the left button to hear the song.)

Sounds of Silence, by Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walk alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.… continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues Dec 2012

Posted on by Don

Obviously the world did not end on Dec 21, 2012. Once again the prophets of Baal were wrong. Researchers can analyze every pagan prophecy that exists anywhere and they still will not know anything about the timing of future events.

Everything Christians need to know about the future is already written in the Christian Bible. The Lord God does not reveal the future through ancient pagan writings, or through modern men and woman who learned to tap into the occult, or through those that hear the imaginations of their own minds and claim that the message came from Him.

It appears that we will be here for a while longer, so let me wish everyone a Merry Christmas and an interesting New Year that is full of joy in Christ.… continue reading
