Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, August 2010

Posted on August 10, 2010July 26, 2022 by Don

Its already August and time for my second monthly perspectives article. In case you got here by a search engine with a keyword search these perspectives are posted on the World Trends and Bible Prophecy Blog of Don Koenig. There is a category on the side bar and a tag on the bottom of this post that will bring you to prior monthly perspectives.

It now looks like team Obama is about to turn on the simulation money printing machines again. We were told that the stimulus would soon end but it now is evident to even the Obamanable Far Left, that they did not get the high that they were expecting from their 3 trillion dollar stimulus.… continue reading

A home mortgage now makes sense as the ultimate hedge against inflation

Posted on August 6, 2010May 12, 2024 by Don

A large mortgage on a property now only makes sense as the ultimate hedge against inflation because the government will be financing and subsidizing your tangible property for the duration of the loan.

The reason why long term interest rates are so ridiculously low is that people running our economic system fear deflation so they are spending money that we do not have to kick the can (the day of reckoning) down the road. I think it is now obvious that our government will not allow a deflationary depression. We are heading for a lot of inflation in the future. The government will just keep spending more than it has to try to stimulate the economy.… continue reading

The relationship between making Bible passages allegory and heretical cults

Posted on August 3, 2010December 28, 2015 by Don

The Bible contains allegory but when it does it is also makes it clear in the passage. I think along with legalism there is a strong relationship between those that twist Bible passages into allegory and heretical movements and cults.

We can look at the history of Christianity since the Apostles and we will see a reoccurring pattern between allegory and heresy. The first heretics were legalists that wanted to put Jews that found the Messiah back under Jewish law. Soon after we know that gnostic heretics became a plague on the Church. They made scriptures allegorical so it would comply with their old and new mystical beliefs.… continue reading

Any American recovery in practice will go back to the American way

Posted on July 28, 2010July 29, 2010 by Don

Forget all the theory that the economists and socialists keep peddling to us. Any American recovery in practice must go back to the American way! The American way is one of self reliance and reliance on community not reliance on big government and its entrenched bureaucrats. I really do not think America will choose to go back to the American way but if they did the following is probably the way to do it.

Taxes – Do away with the IRS. Get rid of all income taxes on corporations and individuals. Get rid of all payroll taxes on employers. There would be no deduction for employees other than a 15 percent deductions for all health and social programs (see below).… continue reading

The one percent rule for bloggers and latest information on this Blog

Posted on July 26, 2010January 2, 2012 by Don

I guess it is time to tell you everything that you probably did not want to know about this blog once again.

The last post about the Mormon prophecies to establish a theocracy in America has been up for about a week now. In that week there were about 1300 views to the homepage and it would have been the first post article that anyone saw. About 300 in that week viewed that post directly from a search or a link. Of those 1600 views about one dozen people – less than one percent – actually clicked on the link and read any part of the article that I discussed.… continue reading

Mormon plan to establish a world theocracy from America.

Posted on July 20, 2010June 1, 2016 by Don

Early last month I wrote an article called Rising Christian Imperialism Fueled by Dominion Theology. The article is mainly about the danger of Far Right Christian dominionists gaining control after the Obama failure brings about a Far Right backlash in America.

Little did I know when I wrote it that there is already a plan in place to establish a world theocracy from America. It is part of Mormon prophetic doctrine. Now some might say that this is just some pipe dream of a cult. However, if you read this article you might not be so complacent. Mormons have been working toward that end for 160 years and they have infiltrated high levels of government especially top secret intelligence positions.… continue reading

The Bible is a book of scripts from God and most scripts have context

Posted on July 19, 2010January 25, 2015 by Don

I have noticed that some teachers and preachers today just rip passages of the Bible out of proper context in order to support whatever point they happen to be teaching. However, the Bible is a book of scripts from God and most of His scripts do have context. So maybe some teachers should read the context of a passage of the Bible before they give a teaching based on a passage.

Taking scriptures out of context and applying strange interpretations to them has been going on since scriptures were given. Making certain Bible passages allegory and misapplying them is how we got Gnosticism, certain Catholic Theologies, some Protestant Theologies, Dominion Theology, Replacement Theology, Liberation Theology, Emergent Theology, Word/Faith Theology etc, etc.… continue reading

The Americian tyranny of a conglomeration of minorities

Posted on July 15, 2010May 12, 2024 by Don

When a Government serves and gives special rights to a conglomeration of minorities against the will of the American majority the nation is under a tyranny of the minorities. Apparently we are now under such a tyranny in America. There is a way this can be changed politically by electing a Republican super majority.

If we are a government of the people, the majority will have to stand united against this conglomeration of minorities that now controls American government, education, media and often religion. Of course, if the Republican revolution is successful we will then have to guard against a tyranny of the majority against minorities.… continue reading

Learn the parable of the fig tree.

Posted on July 13, 2010November 3, 2010 by Don

We have had quite a bit of discussion in the comments section about the fig tree of Matthew chapter 24 and Mark chapter 13 because of certain teachers interpretations put on it that imply all end time events will be fulfilled by 2018 (a normal lifespan from Israel being back in the Land). It therefore probably should be something I should discuss in more depth since I do not agree that Jesus was saying that all will be fulfilled by 2018.

The Parable Jesus told us to learn is almost certainly referring to His cursing of the fig tree which also represented a curse on Israel.… continue reading

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, July 2010

Posted on July 8, 2010July 2, 2015 by Don

I decided to start a monthly series on my perspectives on world and church issues. Some will have some bearing on end time Bible prophecy.

For those who do not know me and found this post through a search engine. I have had a website called The Prophetic Years for over ten years. For the last three years the site also hosts a Blog named “World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy“. This blog is where these monthly perspectives are posted along with other posts of interest usually related to the Blog title. I will create a special category on the sidebar for these perspectives so you can find them all in one place.… continue reading

1930’s socialists reincarnated to play in the 2010’s world war games.

Posted on July 6, 2010May 12, 2024 by Don

There are many parallels to the 1930’s today. History does repeat itself. It seems the socialists of the 1930’s have been reincarnated to play in the upcoming 2010’s world war games.

In the 1930’s the world was heading into a decade of deep depression. All indicators are that in the 2010’s the world will see the same economic fate. In the 1930’s socialism was the big rising ideology. There were some differences between the various socialisms of the 1930’s but they all had many similarities as well, such as government having control over everyone and the redistributing wealth. There was the Hitler’s style, the Lenin/Stalin’s style, Mussolini’s Fascist style, Mao’s style and even FDR’s New Deal style.… continue reading

Soon after the third stimulus America will be living under a dictatorship.

Posted on July 2, 2010November 3, 2010 by Don

I have been saying all along that there will not be any real economic recovery any time soon. Now it looks like the markets have finally figured that out as well. By this fall unemployment will be rising again. When one third of the homes being sold in America are in foreclosure how in the world can people expect a real economic recovery? Here are just some of the things still coming down the pipeline this year and next. I think within a few years this will bring us under a dictatorship.

Even a higher rate of home foreclosures – It looks like there will be a trillion dollar bail-out of Fannie and Freddy by American taxpayers.… continue reading

Worn out loafing around on the Internet in a tired world.

Posted on June 30, 2010November 3, 2010 by Don

I wanted to write a couple of new articles on something worth knowing this week but the chances of that seem to be getting slimmer all the time. Between comments, emails, website administration and modifications, keeping up with the news, shopping for food, yard work, a garden that is out of control, all my high mileage vehicles needing repair, my wife going on a mission trip, a birthday, spraying the fruit trees, taking care of the animals, doing bills, a holiday coming up, sleeping , etc. I find that there just are not enough hours in the day to get everything done.… continue reading

The Obama Midas touch turns U.S. government policy into fools gold

Posted on June 23, 2010November 3, 2010 by Don

The Golden One and his handpicked apostles (Czars) apparently do not have the Midas touch after all. In fact, the Obama administration seems to be cursed. Everything touched by Obama and his administration turns into fools gold.

The oil has been gushing in the gulf for two months now. I am not blaming Obama for the oil well failure but some of the blame has to go to people like him that create environmental laws that force Oil Companies to drill fifty miles off-shore. Also, the buck stops with Obama for poor government oversight of BP and for failure to come up with a solution to this problem and the bumbling with the clean-up .… continue reading

Explaining my faith and not giving expected apologies – by Josh!

Posted on June 21, 2010January 2, 2012 by Don

There was a recent article in The Christian Post called Most Christians Cannot Explain their Faith, Says Appologist. The apologist was Josh McDowell and here is part of what was said in that article.

In his 50 years of ministry, McDowell has asked several thousand pastors and leaders how they could be certain Jesus Christ said “I am the truth” and not one of many truths or a truth.

“Not one person has ever given me an intelligent, biblically-based answer,” said the author of The New Evidence that Demands A Verdict.

During the past six years, he asked hundreds of Christians and leaders why they see themselves as Christians.

The truth about the sorry state of our American Union

Posted on June 15, 2010June 16, 2010 by Don

Here is the truth about the sorry state of our American Union.

There have been 50 million abortions since Roe v Wade in 1973.
1 in every 15 people in the United States will actually do prison time. Many more are convicted of felonies but it is a first offense and they only get probation. Many more than that committed a felony but plea bargain to a lessor crime. Also, most crimes are never reported and/or the criminal either does not get caught or is not prosecuted for various reasons.
Well over half of all American adults have used Illegal drugs at least once.

Israel and Bible prophecy in the light of present world realities

Posted on June 11, 2010November 3, 2010 by Don

I have figured out that I really cannot figure out how end time prophetic events involving Israel will all play out but of course like so many others that write on Bible prophecy that won’t stop me from writing about it.

Probably the main premillennial futurist speculation today is that the war of Ezekiel chapter 38 will take place within a few years but that does not make sense to me in the light of present world realities. Israel is not living in security as it is so clearly stated in the Ezekiel prophecies. Israel cannot be living in security without some significant change in thinking in the entire Middle East.… continue reading

Rising Christian Imperialism Fueled by Dominion Theology

Posted on June 8, 2010November 11, 2012 by Don

Most Christians might think I would have to be nuts to warn others about the possibility of rising Christian imperialism at a time when Christianity is under oppression by the secular Far Left and Islam but apart from my mental condition I try to stay one step ahead of the curve.

One thing that I have learned over the years about politics is that political action on one side of the political spectrum soon produces a counter-reaction from the other side of the spectrum after a short time. The reason for that is that any political system that man tries always ends in failure due to man’s depravity.… continue reading

The world is rapidly going nuts

Posted on June 4, 2010May 12, 2024 by Don

In order to stay informed, I average about four hours each day just reading articles. Here is a sample of the good news that I recall reading about just today. There were many other credible articles like why there will be no economic recovery and it will become worse than a depression and why Obama is making all the wrong decisions on just about everything. I even read one article that claims Obama will resign before 2012 (one can always hope )

Myanmar is trying to develop nuclear weapons with the help of North Korea.

One article seems to think the flotilla battle might be the start of the ‘Gog and Magog’ war.… continue reading

The Mahdi 2012 Antichrist is delayed his head got stuck in the well.

Posted on June 3, 2010November 3, 2010 by Don

Some Bible prophecy teachers and their disciples are looking for some Islamic Antichrist to appear in 2012 and most of them think it will be the Islamic 12th Imam Mahdi figure that Shia religious lore says will ascend out of a well. I think this Antichrist figure should be getting a swelled head by now with all the expectations for him coming from these Bible prophecy teachers. Therefore, their Mahdi figure will never get his swelled head up the well in time for some 2012 Antichrist.

Granted, that there are others that think Obama is the Antichrist but these people are only grasping at a strawman for their 2012 date.… continue reading
