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. They are not as stupid as some like to think. They just believe the end justifies the means.
A world economic collapse is just one crisis that they have envisioned that will help bring the world to their globalist utopian end. The International bankers seem to be trying to put off bank failures and national debt defaults for as long as they can, but what they are doing only insures that the whole world economic house of cards will all come crashing down at the same point in time.
Nations keep going further in debt. There will be no getting out of their national debt on this side of the world economic collapse. The biggest losers will be those that had faith in government promises and had their life savings in banks, bonds and retirement systems. The biggest losers will be the middle class of the world.
The responsible people who worked hard and saved for retirement are being robbed and will increasingly be robbed in the future. The “progressives” believe the non productive old retired people should not have wealth. They will steal that wealth by any means they can. They of course would not include themselves as non productive because old narcissistic billionaires still believe that they are indispensable.
Don’t think that what was just attempted in Cyprus can’t happen in America or anywhere else. Stealing from savers is already happening right now in America in a more subtle way. The Federal Reserve bank buys up most new debt with money they create out of thin air to keep interest rates artificially low. This has been going on for several years and it robs savers of any decent returns on their investments.
The returns on savings have been much lower than annual real inflation, so savers lose a few percent of their actual wealth each year. And where is that wealth going? It is going into the coffers of the Treasury so that government can continue to fund big government statist control over everyone. Then they even tax the little interest that savers do receive to rob them again.
In America, the federal government promises that bank deposits are insured to $250,000 if banks should fail. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only has about 25 billion dollar. The savings in the banks in America are more than $9 trillion. If there is a run on the banks there is no way that FDIC is going to be able to carry out its guarantee. Even Congress can’t come up with that kind of bailout. This national insurance plan only works if all the big banks stay healthy.
If there is a run on the banks, it is more realistic to believe that the government will close the banks and rob your savings to make you pay for their losses like the government was attempting to do in Cyprus. This crisis started as a trial balloon. If people adjust to being robbed they might try something similar in other debtor nations. They probably would get away with this bank robbery if the Russian Mafia did not have so much of their savings offshore in Cyprus. They still might, but they are putting their own lives at risk.
The power elite of Cyprus are desperately trying to find some other way to make the people of Cyprus pay off the International banks as I write this article. Russia buying up their gas leases has been mentioned as a possible solution, but that might mark the end of Western control of Cyprus. Why would anyone with wealth now trust EU Banks to keep their savings safe?
World power brokers actually want and enable these world crises because they believe that it all works toward their dream of a socialist humanistic Utopia. The end justifies the means to get there. Understand that, and you will understand why they are enabling and will enable the destruction of nations that stand in the way of that goal.
Southern Europe is in a deep depression and the people there are making it clear that there will be no more austerity measures imposed on them by the International banks. The more the banks push the people into austerity the more popular ultra nationalist leaders become.
Europe is heading for big trouble between its economic problems and the rise of Islam. Godless Europe is ripe for the rise of another Hitler. Keep in mind that he can come from either the Far Left or the Far Right. If you go Left far enough you will meet the Far Right coming from the other direction and vise versa.
Why is the Department of Homeland Security arming to the teeth in America? At this point they will not even respond to the congressional representatives that are asking them why they are doing this. Why is nobody in government following the Constitution? Supposedly, it is all about homeland security. However, what internal dangers requires billions of bullets and the procurement of 2700 light tanks for use in the homeland?
What grave danger more than a decade after 9/11 requires such a police state? Maybe it is the economic collapse that they know is coming? Maybe it is the world war that they know is coming? Maybe it is the revolution that they know is coming? Maybe it is the aliens that Tom Horn knows are coming; or maybe the power elite just do not trust the American people?
Meanwhile, obvious observable dangers to the world and this nation seem to be ignored. Iran is an obvious grave danger. In spite of what our government tells people they already are on the threshold of mass producing nukes that have yields close to that of Hydrogen bombs. They also are rapidly developing missile capabilities that can put such bombs over the United States.
N. Korea is also a grave danger to the US, South Korea, and Japan. It only takes one well placed nuclear bomb to emit a strong enough electro magnetic pulse to shut down America’s electrical grid and infrastructure indefinitely. This EMP warhead could be delivered by an ICBM, a missile launched from an offshore ship or sub, or a nuke placed in a low orbit satellite. If that happened, most people in America would soon be warring against each other for the necessities of life to just survive.
Most in America would not survive because the vast majority of individual American’s are not prepared for long-term infrastructure failure. In spite of the known danger to this nation of an EMP our government has done nothing to harden our infrastructure to prepare for an EMP. Individual people who do prepare for such dangers are mocked by government controlled media and government dependent morons.
An EMP over Japan is probably possible from what N. Korea has in its arsenal now and if that should occur it would bring the whole economic system of the world down.
Both N. Korea and Iran have or will soon have the capability to carry out an EMP attack over America and they are working together on this. If there is a nuclear bomb test in N. Korea it is also an Iranian test. We are not suddenly moving our missile interceptors out of East Europe to Alaska because we do not think they could carry out their threat. Even so, there is no guarantee that we can actually shoot down their ICBM’s or a missile launched from a ship offshore. Further, if we just destroy satellites that they put up that could launch the war.
Is the U.S. ready for a war with Iran, N. Korea, Pakistan and others at the same time that we are cutting our own military capabilities? That war will not be a war where we hold all the cards like the more recent wars. It could get really nasty with Europe in turmoil, the Sunni Muslims fighting the Shiite Muslims all over the Middle East, and probably Russia, China, India, Japan, Israel and many others getting involved on one side or the other.
What is coming sounds like nothing less than the riding of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, but don’t confuse that period with the great tribulation that will still be coming some years later.
We should have taken care of the N. Korean and the Iranian nuclear weapons development problem many years ago. However, we did not, and now we will reap the consequence of treating irrational dictators like they were rational beings on earth. Now war is inevitable and the longer we delay taking out their nuclear capabilities the worse off it will be for the whole world.
Iran knows it must EMP America before it can deal with Israel and the Saudis. Those who believe that Iran’s goal is just developing peacefully nuclear energy need an intelligence check. The massive military preparations for nuclear development and missile bases seen on satellite images do not lie.
Does anyone really think that there will be freedom in America during the next world war? And we are not talking about a war next decade, it is much more likely that the start of this war will take place within the next year or two.
The seemingly wishful thinking and the economic policies of the Western power elite does not seem rational unless you look at it from their socialist globalist point of view. They know there is going to be an economic collapse and another world war. Therefore, present overspending and the taking on of more debt is not going to mean a hill of beans after the world economic system fails and nobody even attempts to pay off debt.
In the eyes of the power elite the coming economic collapse and world war is an acceptable means to an end because they think it is the only way they can get rogue nations out-of-the-way, reduce world population, end debt, and disarm the world in preparation for a whole new world economic, political, and religious Utopia. In other words, by enabling the destruction of the present world order, they believe that they are actually saving the future of the world.
The “progressive” leadership in America has bought into this globalist agenda. They vastly intend to cut our armed forces in the future because it fits their utopian end ideology.
I will explain how I believe the world power elite now intend to accomplish world disarmament. They have already given up on unilateral disarmament. That is not possible as long as outlaw nations exist. A world war accomplishes their objectives because the rogue nations will be overthrown and most advanced weaponry will be used up or destroyed in the war. After the war, they believe they can enforce world disarmament with the help of world religion.
They also do not want America to remain the world superpower. So, during the next world war most of America’s advanced weapons systems will be spent or destroyed and the “progressives” do not intend to allow our military system to be rebuilt. Rebuilding it would be difficult anyway because there will be much internal turmoil in America if America even survives as a viable nation.
That is also why few are concerned about spending today. They know this system will not exist after the next world war starts. During the war most personal wealth will be taken away by the governments of the warring nations and after the war everyone will just start over under strict government control.
Homeland security is buying 2700 light tanks and 2 billion bullets now because they know they will not be able to get them after the world war starts. They also know that social breakdown is inevitable when the old world order crashes.
Religious leaders, especially the Pope will be playing a leading role in the globalist agenda during and after this world war.
Now, if we are one of those people who believe the end times of Bible prophecy is very near, why would we expect anything much different to soon take place? The world obviously will now set the stage for the rise of the person that will become the Beast Antichrist. This person is probably due to arrive on the world scene in some capacity in about a decade.
We know the Antichrist will come in on a platform of peace and this great peace only makes sense if the world just went through a time of massive world war. We even see this world peace before God deals with the Gentile nations in the little talked about prophecy of Zechariah chapter 1.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.11 And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.12 Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?13 And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, even comfortable words. 14 So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
We can infer from this prophecy and from the book of Joel that there will be peace on the earth before the Day of the Lord. Even so, from Joel we can also see that at some point the world peace falls apart. The world apparently had disarmed to some extent because according to Joel everyone is the world is beating their plowshares back into weapons again as the Day of the Lord arrives (Joel 3: 10-15). If the nations were still well armed, they would not need to do this. Obviously the leader on the White Horse of Revelation brought in world peace but that peace did not work out for very long.
Most dispensational Bible prophecy scholars believe the first half of the last seven years that are still determined for Israel will bring peace under the person that will later become the Son of Perdition and Beast Antichrist.
With all that I have inferred in mind, we might now be able to understand why the Bush and Obama Administrations are building up an internal federal police force in America. During the next world war our military will be fully engaged overseas. During the war and during the transition period Homeland Security police forces will police an America that is under martial law.
There is certain to be riots, resistance, and civil war for many reasons. The big push for gun control now, is so that they know where to pick the guns up as soon as the turmoil starts. They really do not care about your assault weapons. That is just a ruse to get the part of the bill that they really want passed.
What the “progressives” really want passed is comprehensive background checks where all gun transactions would have to go through the control of licensed gun dealers that will input data on all gun transactions into a centralized national database. Once they get to that point, all the rest becomes possible by some minor adjustments to what data that they will require to be in the database.
In short, I believe the global elite are not concerned about crises playing out on earth because they know most of what I said will take place. They think all this will be necessary to achieve their desired utopian end. Of course, things will not work out the way that godless people plan. Their means to an utopian end will bring about a world where no flesh would be saved if it were not for the Lord returning and cutting those days short for the sake of a remnant elect that will repopulate the earth. (Mt 24:22).
According to what we see happening in the world and knowing the more sure word of Bible prophecy, this assessment resonates reality.
There will be many, even ‘professing’ Christians who do not want to see evil who will accuse you of evil, i.e. hatred, warmongering, pressing for self fulfilling prophecy ad-nauseam. Ad-nauseam because the evidence of what you say is before their very eyes; But do they have eyes to see or ears to hear? Those that don’t will learn the hard way.
But perhaps such an assessment will strike a cord and others will be forewarned. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Shock and horror can make a person helpless so to be forewarned should help neutralise the shock of such events.
In the light of such events even five years is but tomorrow.
Whether you are Christian or not, what is here now and coming in the future is still very frightening.
As for preparing for what’s coming I feel is a waste of time. Besides having extra food, water, guns, ammo, and cash at home and in safe deposit box, it may help in the short term but eventually there will be nothing one can do or any place to hide. What good will a garden/farm, generator, gold do when roaming gangs will take everything, even if you live in the country. There’s no way to protect what you have unless you have a standing army. At least that’s my opinion. As for our politicians, I believe it’s a waste of time voting for these criminals, even if they adhere to the Constitution they will eventually be incorporated into the criminal Congress or be shut down or ridiculed by the media.
I know that most of the nukes built since WW2 are 10 times Hiroshima bomb. But a hydrogen bomb is a different story.Do you have a source for this claim?
J.
I did not say it was a hydrogen bomb. The claim is that Iran has found a way to make nukes 50 times as powerful as the Hiroshima Bomb. That is about the same power as a small hydrogen bomb. The source is the article that I linked to within the article that says “massive military preparations”.
Don,
As to the coming police state, I live down the street from the police academy in my area, and we received a letter recently from the town that listed the days that there would be heavy use of the firing range. Lately, it has been every day – sounds like a war zone over there! It usually is for at least a couple of hours, sometimes longer, and there are thousands and thousands of rounds being fired. I have seen one of these armored tank/vehicles drive by my house. They are indeed preparing for something big!!
Hi Don and All!
I just want to thank you, and let you know how much I enjoy reading your articles, and all the comments each week.
Between these and the DHS Insider reports, and with all the war prep. the DHS is doing, I am finding it harder to believe that these are just crazy conspiracy theories.
Thank you once again!
Heather
At the risk of sounding similar to our Holy Blessed first Lady, after almost 20 years, I am actually embarrassed and ashamed for the first time in my career to admit to being a Police Officer in this society. The myth about the “thin blue line” (if it was ever actually true to begin with) is just that…a myth. Believe me, even with groups like Oathkeepers, there are MORE THAN ENOUGH Hitler youth types in EVERY Police department who will not hesitate one second to “merely obey orders”, no matter how ass-backward those orders may be. I was once SO PROUD to be a Police Officer; I really believed I could help society. However, with the Communist/Socialist/Marxist/satanic takeover of this society, there is a determined push to convert all LEO’s into SS troops. Anyone on the “Conservative/Republican/quasi-Christian Right who actually believes that this momentum can be turned around or that this country can actually be saved is either niave, delusional, or just plain stupid. They actually love this country more than the Lord, in my humble opinion. But really, as the late Jack Kinsella said a while ago in one of his columns, we as believers looked for and longed for the “End-Times”. Now that they are here, why are we so suprised at the way a lot of things are now…what did we actually think the “End-Times” were going to be a barrel of laughs? The man was right.
Hi Heather,
Sorry for deleting your links and information about what is published on those two sites. I do not want people going from this blog to sites that I believe peddle a whole lot of conjecture, false prophecy and bad information even if some of the articles are true. Not everyone can sort out the truth from the fiction.
Don, can you tell us who these global elites are? – particularly in America.
Who are the major players? – names?
What institutions and corporations do these people control (ever increasingly) that have directly and ever so methodically manipulated Americans over the last century. Particularly in the corruption of the culture & on Christian morality in general.
Any correlations?
Al,
Start by looking at the names of people high up in world politics, prestigious educational institutions, world banks, world media, multi national world corporations, billion dollar foundations and those promoting ecumenical world religion. I am not going to get into specific names. There are thousands of people and they advance and decline in stature and even die. In this country you might start with the CFR. Their list is by invitation only and it is not secret. Also, as I explained in my last article, the real wizard behind the curtain and all the secret orders is the Jesuits. You might find out what people were directly influenced by them in their institutions or who was highly influenced by a Jesuit trained mentor.
Don,
It certainly does appear that there is absolutely zero possibility that this nation is going to do anything to stop spending. The same is true in Europe as well. I wonder how long before the economy collapses?
Rod in Oregon
To Michael Angelo,
Again, thank you for what you do and…
I agree with what you said, that’s the way I see it…and yep, as I have stated before, I do believe the “minions” at most levels (including military) eventually will obey orders regardless of the moral, ethical, and Constitutional implications.
————————–
Rod,
I wonder the same thing.
If Don is correct and there is a major war within the next 2 years or so, then I guess it is very, very close.
————————–
Brian,
I get called those names you mentioned and worse when I bring up Biblical Prophecy and where the world is headed…and what’s very ironic is most of the people who oppose what I have to say don’t watch the news, don’t want to know, and want to pretend like everything is going to be as they always have been.
It is these people who in my opinion are going to be rioting in the streets and lose their heads because of the shock when the things we know are coming, do indeed, come to pass.
Hi Don!
I apologize for posting the links and totally understand why you deleted them. I don’t normally believe all the conspiracy junk out there, and try to take things with a grain of salt. There would have been a time when the mere thoughts of some of the things that I’m reading would have been laughable, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t put past our “elected” officials. After what happened in Cyprus, and what appears to be the first domino falling in the EU, and reading your post, it has just really terrified me… I’ve never seen such evil in the world. Maybe I wasn’t looking before and it’s always been there, I don’t know, but my eyes have definitely been opened.
Thanks again!
Heather
Hi Don, The stage is set for so many end time prophecies to take place, no doubt about it. When I think about the economic situation I can’t help but wonder if the collapse which we are all waiting for is really the 3rd seal judgment. In that case, I don’t believe the church will be here. What do you think?
Presuming an American context…
In the utopian scenario of statist control, with all the various “usual” scenarios playing out, including federal control, and “light war” scenarios, there is water, food, and shelter and some level of security, even if it’s marxist / communistic. I’m not arguing for all this, just laying a backdrop.
Although some may “wish” for a more catastropic event to force the government into some level of “submission”, I figure I would point out that conservative estimates are 200 million fatalities in 4 to 6 months of a power grid outage. I would say it’s more like 80% or higher of 400 million from Canada to Mexico.
Yes, the permanent loss of the power grid will “cut the head off the eagle”, but at what cost? A “super-EMP” event is beyond a dreadful proposition. Yeah, those 2700 tanks are not going anywhere (I don’t care how much they think they EMP-proofed those machines (as if they tested it?), those [super] gamma rays are getting through. All those bullets? They won’t be moved from their bunkers. Of course, who will be left to kill? Moot point.
I prepare for an EMP/CME/Cyber scenario because I think it is most likely the reason for the “non-mention” of the Americas in the book of Revelation. I tell people your immeidate priority is not the kids’ college fund, but “where are you going to find clean drinking water?” (forget about food if you haven’t got the water riddle solved).
That piece of paper with a number on it, or some promise of a pension, is more valuable as fire starter than anything else. Take that badge and melt it down.
Of course, if the cooling rods go, there goes the drinking water, let alone that renewable food source (at least in my neck of the woods).
There’s always the rapture.
Myammi,
The third seal is not really a judgment of God, the opening of it reveals what is happening on the earth because of man’s own evil doings. I think the food shortages and rationing seen at the third seal takes place mainly because of the war disruptions revealed under the second seal. Then man’s own doings brings about hell on earth at the fourth seal.
I do not know if the Rapture will occur before those man caused events or not. As you probably know, I do not believe the last 7 years starts until after the sixth seal is opened and the 144,000 Jews are sealed. Also, the two prophets arrive for their 1260 day witness in the first half of those last seven years.
I think any world economic collapse before the next world war will somehow be kicked down the road or dealt with. That does not mean that all nations will remain prosperous. During the war, wealth will be confiscated from citizens and then strict rationing brings the third seal.
Michael Angelo, you have no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed. Be a light in the darkness. You are doing an honorable and noble job, it is the others on the force that do wrong when they are to be the example who should be ashamed. My cousin is a commander in the same city as you are, as I remember where you said you were from. To top it off we also have another recruited out of state police chief taking orders from Obama’s #1 son, this all in the nations most corrupt city and looks like a record murder year, but the kids will get $50 million for basketballs.
Craig,
Of course you are assuming a worse case scenario in your assessment and that is not likely with a N. Korean or Iranian launched EMP. The strength, placement and other factors determine the scale of the damage.
What can one really do right? I don’t have much savings to lose. Just have my home and a small garden in a small town. To a degree we can prepare for somethings, but not for long. So what does one turn to? For me I think this says alot about how I need to be ready for the future no matter what it holds. Our focus is God’s Kingdom and the rest is in His hands.
Matt 6: 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Great article Don, you really answered some questions and brought to light things I hadn’t heard yet i.e. timing of the Four Horsemen. I also liked the “Far enough left you meet the right” comment. Thanks again.
Michael Angelo- I feel your pain brother, I too am an officer. It definitely tests your strength of spirit. Never stop praying.
Wow Don,
World Turmoil is right…and you are surely correct, we should have dealt with Iran and N.Korea long ago.
Not too much needs to be said on the overly obvious way we are handling the Iranian Nuke problem, but as of today (3/28/13), it looks like things are heating up in regard to N.Korea…as I woke up today to read that we are flying Stealth Fighters over S.Korea as a message to N.Korea.
I am having my doubts that this action will be a deterrent and more of an invitation by the new dictator Un who probably wants to prove himself.
I think there is little doubt that the terrorist organizations (and the power brokers of the world) know that the U.S. must be weakened or at least tied up on multiple fronts to accomplish their end game as you said.
I cannot fathom the consequences of a war with NK. Would our technological advantages be enough to keep millions of men from being needed to fight such a war? We definitely had the air superiority in Vietnam, but from what I have learned it was not effective.
Hi Don and everyone, I don’t doubt the probability of anything you wrote about. I was always taught the church would be in heaven when Jesus opened the first seal. I don’t know but I hope. My sister read an article in National Geographic recently that says a company has a hummingbird drone prototype. She didn’t think to reference the article so I’m wondering if anyone else read this. Also, as I write this I’m in distress. My family is being torn apart over the gay marriage issue. We who don’t support it are being accused of being religous, superstitious and hateful. What next? I came to this blog just to read the comments of Christ-minded people. Thankyou for being here.
Steve,
We should have no need to put infantry on the ground in Korea. South Korea has the military capability to take over North Korea. They have over twice the population, ten times the GDP, and UN support. The S. Korean army is smaller but it is much more sophisticated. The problem is that their biggest city and much of the population lives within the well entrenched range of N Korea’s weapons. Before they could take over N Korea much of the northern part of S. Korea would lie in rubble.
Our main purpose there is as a deterrence and now as a nuclear umbrella. If we were not there S. Korea and Japan would already be developing nuclear weapons of their own.
Why it is getting so dangerous now is that N. Korea was allowed to develop nukes. They now might have the ability to EMP South Korea burning out most of the electronic controlled weapons and infrastructure. That would give N Korea the advantage because their nation is so low tech.
We really need to take out N. Korea’s nuclear capability before they can carry off such an EMP. After that, the North Korean army would be no match for S. Korea.
I think N. Korea knows all this. Therefore, they could be planning a first strike EMP followed by an all out invasion of the south. If we allow that EMP to happen it will be a very difficult war. We could end that EMP threat by bombing their nuclear facilities now, but that would start the war and get a lot of people killed on both sides. So we just hope an insane N. Korea will start acting rationally.
Hi Caitlin,
Such drones are under development.
The Jesuit and Marxist purpose of advancing deviant sexuality is to destroy the family structure so that government has total control of everyone from cradle to grave. Once the world government and the world church has full control they will probably outlaw homosexuality as the grave health risk that it is. If anyone doubts that it will lead to that, look at Islam or Russia or even the official position of the Roman Catholic Church.
Hi Don,
There is also a drone in development that will be capable of swooping and picking up a full size human. Pretty creepy stuff.
Rod
Don, I do not write this as a rabbit trail but as a counter for and encouragement to Caitlin and others in this same predicament.
“religous, superstitious and hateful.”
Homosexuality is a physical act and one that is DEVIANT from the natural order and therefore a PERVERSION of the natural. How then can one be accused of being religious, superstitious and hateful when one points out the physical facts of the matter?
The component parts of the male body have very specific functions and to use those parts for purposes other than which nature intends IS deviant. These are the physical facts of the matter. Those who push the homosexual barrow know it very well but they have their agenda.
But those who have been led astray, whose minds have been overruled by lust and are given over (par-ad-id’-o-mee) to lust are blinded to truth.
We should use reason to prove our point but we should not break our hearts over those whom God has surrendered to lust? Where is that point reached… that must be a personal evaluation.
Hi Don
Do you think that NK is only doing this to cause a delusion so Iran can get their nukes developed? I really don’t think NK has any intention of doing anything but it amazes me that we want to flex our strength against a country that we could eliminate in a matter of minutes and then act feeble as a kitten when it comes to Iran. It seems to me that we will continue to fall for this until its too late for the US. I read the article in National Geographic magazine on the drones and I noticed that some have infrared. I suppose these will come in handy to find warm preppers when things go dark.
Brian,
I did not know you still had freedom of speech on such matters in Australia.
Kevin,
Who knows what the present intent of North Korea is? The country is totally brainwashed and the military leadership is old and insane. I have no doubt that they are working in collusion with Iran on the nuclear weapons program and it is quite likely that either country will ramp up the rhetoric by the request of the other. I also think if we bomb the nuclear assets of one country the other country will attack because they know that their facilities will be next and they will try to overextend us.
North Korea’s is not going to be taken in a matter of minutes. It will be more like months at best. If China gets excited it could lead to action against Taiwan or even a covert EMP over the US.
I don’t know if that’s the case or not Don. I have never heard of any real debate one way or the other.
Whether such straight talking would draw fire from the authorities here or not I just don’t know but we don’t have such forums over here as you do there. I’ve tried finding Australian Christian blogs but can only find liberal and/or emotional mush type sites. I like sound and robust opinions and it seems only to come from North America.
I don’t have much to do with anyone on a personal level. We have belonged to a couple or three church groups but the same mush and liberal nonsense is the fare they dish up so I have always found myself on the outer. We fellowship as a family. At 71 I doubt if things will change.
I read one of Ray Gano’s articles the other day where he said he was through casting pearls before swine which has been my thoughts regarding western societies for some time.
Having said all that I am still Administrator of an Internet Bible College which offers a free CD Library and when available some printed material (we are having printing problems at the moment). Our emphasis in the past has been mostly to third world countries.
And I still pray God might lead those who are afraid to those who know the Truth, but that is in HIS hands.

Hi Don,
I was speaking with a neighbor yesterday about NK’s renewed aggression. His take on this is, the chubby NK leader is making bold in order to appease the country’s military. That Kim Jong Un, along with his cute wife, would much prefer to simply enjoy the perks of being a mini god, not foment a war with the US or anyone else. In short, Young Kim is fearful of losing his head if he doesn’t toe the party line and obey the old guard leaders.
Your take?
Doug,
I agree that he has to meet the expectations of the paranoid military leaders that are really running the country.
NK & SK are still technically at war. It sounds as if NK wants to bring an end to the armistice one way or another.
That Kim’s not his own man is frightening. Being both weak and prodded, he’ll do anything out of desperation to save his neck.
@Brian:
Thanks for the link. I’m going to look at the material you’ve made available.
Not ignoring your thread of comments about North Korea, I am adding a few comments to the discussion. Having done a lot of research online, it is very dismaying what is happening in the United States and with our economy. Only God knows when he will send Jesus Christ his son to rapture his church-the Body of Christ-the true believers. The Bible is not clear about the season of Christ’s return because God is intentionally not revealing it to us in his word. We do have some clues. It seems as if Jesus is coming soon. What is bad for me is that throughout the seasons of my life and moves from here to there, I have attended different churches. One of my former pastors is probably doing just fine. Two of my former pastors are in deep messes. A fourth pastor has been harshly investigated and still maintains his leadership position, but he could tumble. So who is right.
Leaving churches can be for the wrong reasons. Leaving for the right reasons can mean that you were led away by the Lord so that you are being kept safe with him.
As the last days progress, keep your heart focussed on Jesus Christ. If someone reads this and they need to repent of their sins and receive salvation—then they are being warned to do that. The devil is behind our country purchasing billions of hollow point bullets, of printing money by “the boat loads”, of pushing its healthcare agenda, of supporting politicians who have hidden agendas, and etc. Keep the faith and be encouraged that in the end the true believers WIN.
Rosebud,
I think it is time to leave a local church congregation when the majority of the members of the congregation no longer can or will discern the biblical reasons to retain a Church fellowship.
That means the congregation retains the ability to choose leaders that will equip the saints for every good work through the use of teaching sound biblical doctrine, discipleship, and accountability. Likewise, it means the congregation retains the ability to get rid of leaders that depart from the Biblical elder model of 1 Titus Chapter 2.
If congregations are hiring or retaining elders that lead people into ritual, the ways of the world, mysticism, or a congregation that mainly revolves themselves or around anyone or anything other than around Christ, then Christian in them should depart from them. That church is not being led by the Holy Spirit, it is out of control and staying in them only enables them to continue.
I live about 60 miles west of Ft. Worth, Tx. There are a lot of small churches in all these small towns. I attended SB because they seemed to stay closer to the bible than some of the other denominations. But they keep busting up over nothing except power plays. It’s so shameful I finally gave up. Can you believe grown people putting metal shavings in the keyhole of the pastor’s study door or vaseline on the doorknob. Or how about a woman shoving a pastor’s wife? Those are only a few of the things that have happened in the churches around here.
Caitlin,
Don’t get me started. Believe me, I can believe and even confirm what you say. That is why almost every small town of 500 people in the Bible belt has two or more Southern Baptist churches. Then when you visit any of them they are all cookie cutter churches anyway. If you been in one, you pretty much have been in them all.
Once the personal differences disappear because a pastor left or the reason for the division no longer exists they never come back together again. Why? Because deacons might no longer be deacons and entrenched families will not give up almost total control. Therefore you have tens of thousands of SBC churches with only 25 to 200 members, all trying to have all the committees and programs as large city SBC churches. It is one heck of a waste of human resources and money. Then they expect you to tithe to their church to pay for the only mediocre teacher that they can afford, the mediocre programs, and the disproportionally large building expenses.
There was one church near here that actually had two SBC churches in a town of 3 or 4 hundred that were right across the highway from each other. The pastors of the two churches at one time were father and son. Even through the Father of the larger church was retiring they could not combine the two small churches under his son. The son was one of the best teachers I have ever known. Obviously God would not have someone with his gift of teaching staying around to teach 60 entrenched people for very long.
Don,
I live in a community of about 30,000 that has over 50 churches.. Interesting thing is that over the last 20 years, the percentage of church goers has not changed. They just keep recycling the same members who move around after getting disgruntled. But part of the problem is the lack of real Biblical teaching, as well as other cultural problems such as no real commitment to Jesus, but instead, a commitment to control and power. It is pretty sad. There are some small beacons of light, and people coming to know Jesus, but then the new believers are not adequately discipled, and often end up like the seeds on rocky soil.

Well, once again I see we have gone down a rabbit trail, so I am not going to be posting anymore comments about our experiences with local churches on this post.
Hi Don,
Truth is stranger than fiction these days!! And it seems that changes are coming at almost a heart stopping pace. I’ve been reading your articles for a few years, and although you’ve written on EMP before and other possible scenarios, this one really scared me. Maranatha.I just want to gather up my loved ones and fly away.
David Little from Canada, thanks for your comments, I needed it!Many focus on becoming physically prepared, while ignoring the spiritual.
Don, have you yourself discovered any correlation(s) that connect these elites in any way… apart form being elite and rich that is.
Also: What do you suppose (ANY IDEA AT ALL) what the great lie will be that will fool everyone (including many so-called Christians) that if not for God this delusion would dupe His elect as well.
On a side note: I recently met an octogenarian while out at the mall. He needed help with some bags and after we talked for a bit… about Christianity, and the weather. Awesome thing was that he is a born again Christian and was formerly a Jew. His last name (this is the amazing thing) was Koenig. You don’t have family up here do you?
Al,
Koenig is a fairly common name. It comes from the name “King” in European Germanic areas. Many Jews took on the names of towns or other generic names in Europe because they were forced to convert and were not allowed to have Jewish names under areas controlled by Roman Catholicsm. That does not mean that most people named Koenig have some Jewish connection.
The correlation that seems to run behind the globalist elite is that one way or another they were influenced by Jesuits. The Jesuits have been working for hundreds of years under an oath to unite the world back under the Pope. They actually started many of secret organizations that some think run the world and also are behind modern philosophies and much of the higher educational systems. If conspiracy people would look a layer or two deeper behind an influential occult based organization or liberal protestantism they probably will find a Jesuit.
I think the deception sent so that those that reject the love of the truth will believe a lie, is based on Pantheism. More specifically, fallen angels will claim to come from another world or dimension and claim to be the highest beings that represents God in the universe. I think they will claim to be the originator of the human species on earth and say they have now come to help humans evolve into the god state.
Back to the point about the global elite using turmoil to control the world: If it is so, is it by a conscious effort? Are they really thinking along those lines? I guess some may well be worshipers of Satan, purposefully carrying out his will, but would it be likely that most who do so are doing so consciously?
This, for the present time, is definitely Satan’s world [2 Cor 4:4]. And most people are going Satan’s way, as we all did prior to becoming Christians. But most of us did so unconsciously.
I’m not so sure, though, that the people in the top echelons of the Masons, Opus Dei, Jesuits and the like are deliberately following Satan. (Though they still are–whether wittingly or unwittingly–worshiping Satan.) However, I do still believe some know what they are doing. I did hear a Shriner on YouTube make the statement that he believed Lucifer was purity and light. I do believe such people are utterly deceived but I find it difficult to think it is a deliberate choice.
That is not to excuse them. Being deceived is as sinful as being a deceiver [2 Tim 3:13]. And it was Eve who was deceived but the woman seemed to get the worst punishment–from a human perspective!
Of course, the scary thing is that we humans can be so deceived that we think we are doing God’s will when our actions show we really hate Him. After all, deceived people don’t know the’re deceived. That’s why they’re deceived!
I read in a book Dave Hunt wrote some years back where he felt that if the Antichrist was alive he could at that time have great intentions and be altruistic but would eventually become deceitful and evil through circumstances.
Any thoughts in that line, Don?
I do think you are correct that those who will reject the love of truth will do so via beliefs based in Pantheism.
Martin,
I agree. Most of the elite wanting globalism actually think they are saving the world. Since they do not believe in a personal Savior God, they think humans have to save the world from destructive human actions (e.g. Al Gore). Generally they are humanists that are full of themselves.
Hitler was an example of the Antichrist. Do you think he thought he was destroying Germany and the world? He thought he was bringing in a thousand year Aryan reign until near his end. The Antichrist will also believe that he is bringing in what God calls “Babylon the Great”. I suppose the Antichrist will not use that name, but he will have something fitting like the “New Holy Roman Empire” or “age of Aquarius”.
