Finding Noah’s Ark proves Bible prophecy but scoffers remain willingly ignorant

Posted on by Don

The claim that Noah’s Ark was found is being picked up by some of the major news outlets today. The article was on both Fox News and Drudge. I suppose the liberal news will either not cover it or they will make a big deal about the tiny doubt that still remains that this is really Noah’s Ark. I am sure the biblical concept of a ship near the top of a mountain as a result of a flood will make their eyes roll if they are ever told to report it.

I do not know if this will turn out to be the real deal or not.… continue reading

The Obama administration recovery contains toxic bubbles

Posted on by Don

Talk about the Obama recovery makes me want to wear tall boots. The recovery seems to me to be designed to last until after the 2010 fall election. I think the Obama recovery has bubbles filled with toxic tax, toxic debt and toxic economic policies that will burst on America insuring there will be no meaningful recovery during this democratic administration. On the contrary, economic bottom is not even on the horizon.

Even most in government are blind to this because since the days when Vice President Al Gore was tasked to reinvent government, critical thinking among government employees has been frowned upon.… continue reading

Should Obama get a free pass when it comes to matters of national security?

Posted on by Don

Here is a Colonel with some real guts, He wants Obama to show proof that He is a constitutional commander-in-Chief before he obeys his orders. Did you know that someone in the military can be court-martialed for obeying unlawful orders? So if Obama is not a constitutional president and cannot give lawful orders those blindly obeying those orders have broken there oath to uphold the Constitution. But, all who do not obey Obama’s orders and dare to demand proof that he was born in America will be court-martialed by superiors that blindly obey orders. Why tell people to take an oath to swear to uphold the Constitution when most can care less if the Constitution is enforced?… continue reading

We need Tea Parties in Wonderland far beyond the Potomac.

Posted on by Don

Those coming to the tea parties to change Wonderland needs to realize that all the problems in Wonderland are not caused by the Red Queen that controls the White House on the Potomac, nor the Mad Hatter party that control the Hill. They are the results of the abdication of Wonderland by its citizens. If the people of Wonderland really wanted to restore it to what it was before the reds took over, a great many changes need to be made far beyond the Potomac and Mad Hatter Hill.

One of the problems in Wonderland came to me today while shopping at Wal-Mart.… continue reading

The great Islamic world war between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

Posted on by Don

The great Islamic world war between Sunni and Shiite Muslims could be God’s answer to the Psalm 83 plan to invade Israel.

Some think Islam is the primary danger to the Western world and even think that Islam will bring the Antichrist against the West. The flaw in their thinking goes beyond correct understanding of Bible prophecy. They gloss over the deep division that exists between the Sunni Muslims and the Shiite Muslims. A house divided will not stand.

Sunni Muslims have controlled most Islamic areas of the world for centuries. The Sunnis control most of the wealth and the governments in Islam today.… continue reading

April fool yokels 2010

Posted on by Don

Each year brings its own set of April fool yokes and yokels, 2010 is no exception.

April fool yokels:

Senator Barney Franks may announce the replacement to the military don’t ask don’t tell policy for homosexuals serving in the military. Sources say the program will be replaced with the “Just tell Barney program“. A 1 -900 hot line will be set up for reporting any gay activities directly to Franks. The money collected will be used for gay meetings with the Senator.

Several Christian Zionists have been adamant for years that every negative statement or action toward Israel has a direct and immediate consequence for the United States. … continue reading

A terminally insane world suggests realistic Christian expectations.

Posted on by Don

For two-hundred-thirty-four years the American people had largely been living in a bubble of sanity in a world that is terminally insane. Those that are still sane in America tend to think the world should want the Christian ethics and morality that America was founded on. The foundational truths of Christianity made America the most sane and prosperous nation on earth. But, even in the history of America we see times when the sanity bubble collapsed and insanity reigned in those living according to the flesh. It now looks like we have entered the terminal period of insanity for our nation, all world empires do, when they no longer fear God and people are allowed to prey on the innocent.… continue reading

From 2010 until the Messianic Age Millennial Kingdom of Yeshua.

Posted on by Don

I certainly am not a prophet but I believe we are in the final decades just before the Messianic age and Millennial Kingdom of Yeshua. In fact, I think there will only be three more decades. Sometime before the end of that third decade I think Yeshua (Jesus) will have returned to earth to set up His Millennial kingdom.

I am writing this because I think many Christians today have been misled into thinking that everything must take place within this decade. I think it is much more likely that these events will play out over two to three decades.

The following is how I think the final decades will play out in the world.… continue reading

Fifteen storms that could rock your boat in 2010

Posted on by Don

We were in pretty rough seas in 2009 but governments of the world have given their citizens large dozes of sea sickness medication so people are temporarily feeling better. Nevertheless, world Governments are about out of medicine and I think there could be at least fifteen more storms coming in 2010. Some of these storms certainly will rock your boat in 2010. Hold on tight to the anchor of your soul or you may fall overboard.

  1. Europe may have an economic crises and a European Union crises due to unsustainable debt in European PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain).
  2. The United States could go back into recession in the second half of 2010.

America will default on national debt or have Hyperinflation before 2020

Posted on by Don

I guess you heard that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has said our federal national debt will be about $22 trillion by 2020. I think it will be many trillions higher than what they say but don’t confuse our government national debt with our government negative net worth. What we owe in debt and entitlements is now well over $70 trillion and is now increasing by $5 trillion a year.

The obligations we owe exceeds the whole gross domestic products of the world ten times over. People really have to be blind to the facts to think that we can ever repay these obligations in today’s dollars.… continue reading

Nothing about prophetic things.

Posted on by Don

This post will contain nothing about prophetic things. It is mostly about my website and blogs.

Traffic to this blog was running at about 17,000 visits a month in the fall and since the first of year it was up to over 20,000 views a month but for some reason in the past month it is back down again to where is was last fall. Perhaps people do not want to read a lot of words. I do aim to please (once in a while) so here are some pictures.

The first is an aerial of the land we just bought.… continue reading

Would Christian repentance in America heal the land or would national repentance be required?

Posted on by Don

This article really should be two articles but since the topics relate to the same problem of repentance in America I will try to integrate them. The question is, would Christian repentance in America heal the land or will national repentance be required to heal the land? Too often I hear teachers and preachers say that if Christians will humble themselves and pray God will heal our nation. Is that really true? We will look at this presumption later but first I want to deal with a related issue.

Often you will hear the slogan that “We must take America back” It sounds good but who do “we” take America back from and to whom do we give America to?… continue reading

Views from Christians that lack a Christian worldview

Posted on by Don

One of the problems I encounter in the comments on my blogs and in emails are views from Christians that lack a Christian worldview. Often their views originate from world philosophies, ideologies, theologies or human taught sociocultural suppositions rather than the clear teachings of the scriptures. That leads me to believe that these Christians do not know or understand the Christian scriptures and that they are more likely influenced by the world than influencing the world for Christ.

Barma Group – a respected Christian research firm, asked certain questions in a survey to determine how many Americans had Christian worldviews.  They asked the following questions:

  • Do absolute moral truths exist?

Iran: A new method to fight world tyrany, “Operation Defang the Snake”.

Posted on by Don

Iran and the solutions to Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons is the number one concern in the world other than an economic collapse but a military strike on Iran could also push the economy of the world over the edge or even start a world war that will rage from Israel to India and even beyond through terrorist related activity.

People who study the Iranian crises and those that study Bible prophecy have suggestions of how the Iranian crises may play out:

Some think that America or Israel will bomb Iran. That of course risks the scenario of an oil related economic crises and even a world war.… continue reading

A deadly game of chicken will soon play out with the Chinese great red dragon

Posted on by Don

There is one crises spot in the world that few dare speak about because they do not want to irk a fire breathing dragon. I am talking about China the once sleeping giant that is now economically devouring the world. While the whole world is mired in stagnation or depression the Chinese dragon is red hot. However, a deadly game of chicken will soon play out with the Chinese great red dragon when the world gets red hot over the Chinese driven unemployment.

The United States currently buys four times the amount of goods from China than China buys from the United States.… continue reading

When Jesus comes will there be faith on the earth? Yes, no and then yes!

Posted on by Don

Jesus asked this question, “when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Lk 18:8).

Here is the full parable.

1   And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

On Feb 11 Iran will stun the world powers with more punch drunk arrogance.

Posted on by Don

Since this blog is supposed to be about world trends I guess I should mention that Iran is now telling the world that on Feb 11 they will Punch the Arrogance of the Western powers and that this punch will leave the Western world powers stunned. I do not think anyone really knows what the leaders of Iran are implying but I know that Iran already stuns the Western world with its own arrogance.

I predict that Iran will attempt to crush the green movement on Feb 11th and they will stun the world with their barbaric brutality. Other than that, I am not sure what Iran could pull off that would stun the world powers.… continue reading

Writing without any rhyme or reason

Posted on by Don

One of the problems with a blog it that you have to post regularly or you risk losing your audience and your rankings with indexes like Google. However, there are those times that you simply do not have anything you really want to say at least nothing you want to write about in great detail. This is one of those times. Many things are going through my head but probably nothing worth writing on that I have not already written about.  Therefore, I am posting without any rhyme or reason and even I do not know what I am going to say today.… continue reading

Iran: Imminent Revolution or Imminent Bombing?

Posted on by Don

Like many fellow Bible prophecy students, for a couple of years I took the position that Israel or the United States will bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities “any day now” The bombing in my mind was imminent. If you remember many thought that Bush would do it before the election primaries and then before the election and then before leaving office.  If anyone was going to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities the best time to have done so was before Iran acquired the nuclear know how. However, that did not happen.

If anyone should bomb Iran today it would not achieve much since Iran already has the nuclear know how and they could rebuild their efforts in just a few years. … continue reading

Meanings of parables and Bible prophecy are only for the astute elect.

Posted on by Don

Some wonder why Bible prophecy is so cryptic? The answer is that understanding of  both parables and Bible prophecy are only for the astute elect. Jesus taught in parables at His first coming so that those wise in their own understanding would not understand the things of God. The Scribes and the Pharisees did know the scriptures but they lacked understanding and could not properly discern the scriptures they knew. They would not see that Jesus was clearly taught in the scriptures because in their own self righteous religious understanding, the Messiah would enable them and not correct them.

It was also obvious from what we have been told in scripture that even the disciples of Jesus did not understand many of the parables.… continue reading
