SBC and Evangelicals seekers shift toward mystical emergent church

Posted on by Don

“Christian” leaders that appeared on the church platforms of Saddleback, Willow Creek, Crystal Cathedral and other mega churches told us that a “big shift” was coming in Christianity and it has. This shift has been from following the written word of God to following mystical beliefs. This will eventually split the Evangelicals and their largest denomination.

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and other Evangelicals are slowly but surely being led by the seeker friendly gurus toward embracing the postmodern relativistic mystical concepts and leaders of the Emergent Church Movement.

This danger is greater than the division in the ranks of the SBC some years ago when liberals had unduly influenced the SBC leadership.… continue reading

Americans need to get out of pending war zones while there is time

Posted on by Don

Are Americans fed up yet? If not, I think many Americans will soon have had it with our government and our dependent class. I think it might be wise for some of you to get out of pending American war zones while there is still time left for you to do that.

Why should anyone think that a President given to America to bring judgment on America would now not bring judgment on America? The only question left in my mind, is will America learn its lesson and restore conservative constitutional sanity to this nation or will Obama get Americans permission to finish the job of cutting their own throats?… continue reading

The Great Apostasy of the Evangelicals

Posted on by Don

I think the most shocking thing going on in our nation is not that Marxists are actively running and ruining America. After all, people that reject God in any nation are going to look for a human substitute for God. The most shocking thing in America is that heretics are now taking over the Christian Evangelical movement in America and few Evangelicals notice or care.

If you take the Bible believing evangelicals that give the gospel of salvation to the world out of America, a Christian might have to wonder if God has any good purpose left for this nation in the world.… continue reading

I think an analysis of present political realities is in order.

Posted on by Don

If you are aware of present political realities of today, the news headlines of tomorrow may not come as a complete surprise.

Obama is going to withdraw from Afghanistan but it will take until 2014 to do it. Meanwhile, nothing has changed for the better in that area. In fact, things are growing worse because the war just created more radicals in Pakistan and Afghanistan that hate Americans. So there is no reason to think that these areas will not become terrorist training grounds in the future.

Bashar al-Assad of Syria has killed well over a thousand people in Syria and he is creating quite a humanitarian crises by destroying the towns of people that do not support him and their very livelihoods.… continue reading

Restoring Paradise Lost from secular Left or the religious Right?

Posted on by Don

Restoring Paradise Lost from the idealist secular Left or the presumptuous religious Right is not possible. Paradise Lost can only be restored after Jesus returns.

The Left worldview believes humankind can restore Paradise Lost through the collective efforts of man led by the most evolved human elite. Most on the Left believes that God is a creation of man, or is man, or at the very least, God is impersonal and detached from His creation. Therefore, in their worldview, God is not a factor in restoring Paradise Lost. They believe man must restore paradise through his own efforts.

There is a similar worldview that actually comes through world religion.… continue reading

Just some more bumps in the road for Obama and America

Posted on by Don

Obama seems to think that every negative report is just a bump in the road on the path to his next hole. He may think he is on course but for Obama life is his recreation, it is all a golf course. The reality of it all is that Obama and this nation are going to hit bumps in the road or the remainder of his term and they are going to make for a very bumpy ride. If he even gets around the “bumps” and gets to the next hole he had better learn to master his sand wedge or the hazards on this real course of leadership will make him look like a rank amateur.… continue reading

A Memorial Day reflection for those that gave their life for me

Posted on by Don

We might take time this Memorial Day to reflect on why it is that people died so that Americans could remain free, because It seems to me, that we are rapidly losing the freedoms that all these men fought and died for. Statist Marxists enemies of individual freedoms took over our universities, corporations and most media and armed with their godless socialist worldview they began brainwashing the people and they have put America on a downward spiral toward it’s destruction. We must restore America to the Judea Christian values that these men fought and died for, or God will not bless the USA.… continue reading

A Fourth Reich Roman Empire Revival Fit for a Beast and a Gog Reunion

Posted on by Don

We may be seeing the start of the Revived Roman Empire taking place before our very eyes. The turmoil in North Africa, Syria, and elsewhere may bring it about. I know many people thought the present EU is the revived Roman Empire but the present EU really does not fit the spatial reality of the Old Roman Empire nor does it have its mothers violent nature.

Here is a map that shows the  extent of the Old Roman Empire. Where there are dates on this map those regions were not part of the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus.

If the Jews had accepted Jesus the Roman Empire would have been destroyed by God and the Roman Empire might never have grown to include the regions that are dated.… continue reading

Compromising the gospel for church growth and American idol heretics.

Posted on by Don

I get no joy out of telling people that much of what is being passed off as Christianity today is counterfeit. Those American Idols that are pushing modern heresies on people may think they are being opened minded but they really have become a willing door of Satanic deception. Satan’s goal is to get people who identify with Christianity to doubt fundamental doctrines that uniquely define who a Christian is. Satan then substitutes Christian doctrine with doctrines of demons in order to create counterfeits of the Christian religion. These demonic bastardizations of Christianity are not true Christianity.

for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Mark of the Beast communication system may now be under development

Posted on by Don

I believe that any Mark of Beast System where no man can buy or sell cannot realistically be established worldwide until there is a worldwide communication system where even the poor and the rural people of the world have access. Since I live in a place where high-speed Internet is still not available or feasible, I keep on top of the news on any new high-speed Internet developments.

If we are in the last days, as I believe we are, I really also have to wonder how there can be any totally controlled buy/sell system in place on earth at a time when there are so many people in the world that still do not have access to electricity and communications.… continue reading

U.N. Responsibility to Protect action in Libya opens door to Armageddon

Posted on by Don

After listening to Obama about the reason the Western powers moved against Gaddafi one might actually think that they really care about the people around the world that are being killed by tyrants. The same people pushing Obama’s foreign policy buttons are the ones that got “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) resolutions passed in the U.N. and other world governance resolutions. These are most often the same people whose names are found on elitist membership lists.

These people want us to believe that they are so concerned about a few  thousand people being killed in the civil war going on in Libya that they want military action, but we see that they could care less about allowing a North Korean tyrant much worse than Gaddafi to stay in power.… continue reading

The straw that broke the camels back might be blowing in the wind

Posted on by Don

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan with about ten thousand people dead, hundreds of billions of dollars in damage and a possible nuclear meltdown was all over the news last weekend but I did not hear one peep about it in church. Nothing was said in Sunday school. Nothing was heard in any prayers said that I heard. Nothing came from the pulpit and nothing even was said in casual conversations. I guess us American Christians can be very inward looking and I also point a finger at myself because I never brought up Japan at church either. In contrast, when something much less deadly like 9/11 or Katrina happened in our own country it was on the lips of everyone in every church in the nation.… continue reading

Anarchy is spreading because of oppression and the greed of the rich

Posted on by Don

The present rise of protests against existing governments are not primarily religiously or politically motivated although there are those that will be sure to take advantage of the discontentment and use it toward that end. These civil upheavals are really happening because the world’s wealth is increasingly being sucked up by the rich and powerful elite. Rising food prices and low wages and high unemployment are making it increasingly difficult for the poor to survive.

For example, in the United States the top one percent have 42 percent of the nation’s wealth and that percentage has been increasing even during the recession.… continue reading

New world disorder will bring riots and civil insurrections even here

Posted on by Don

The world is going into a new world order of disorder. On one side you have the tyrannical power elite with all the money and weapons and on the other side you have the oppressed, the Marxist’s and the Islamist’s. No matter which of these end up in power the outcome will be the attempted destruction of the opposition. I think the world is heading into a great time of disorder. What you have been seeing so far is in the Middle East and North Africa is just act one of a long drama.

Even if many of these nations now in turmoil somehow achieve Democracy, that Democracy will just become a tyranny of the majority with the majority imposing Islamic law, Socialism or Fascism on everyone.… continue reading

50 ways Americans have cooked their own goose.

Posted on by Don

America has cooked its own goose and here are fifty ways how she accomplished it. I am sure you could come up with many more of your own. It seems to me that about the only thing left is to stick a fork in us because America is about done as a nation. Its probably too late to save the golden goose once the meat is already falling off the bones.

  • The Bible directs parent to train up their children in the way they should go. Parents did not, they allowed secular humanist Marxists in schools and media to train up their children in the way they shouldn’t go.

Christians will be caught unaware because they gave up premillennialism.

Posted on by Don

One of the chief signs of the end times that premillennial futurists fluffed over in their eagerness to see the return of the Lord for His Church is the passages that make it clear that the Lord is coming at time when we think not (Luke 12:40).

We also know that in the last days there would be Christians mocking other Christians about their belief in the soon return of the Lord.

2 Peter 3, Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?

Koenig’s perspectives on Bible prophecy and world issues, Feb 2011

Posted on by Don

I have been somewhat under the weather so this monthly perspective will be fairly short. You see a slightly different look on this blog because I am trying to integrate it more with the main website. People coming to this blog often do not know that this blog is only part of a larger website. “The Prophetic Years” is the name of my website so you should now see that named displayed in the middle of the banner along with the blog title above it. If your not seeing that, you will have to clear your browser cache and then do a refresh.… continue reading

Shepherds on a mission to appease often have sheep dung on their boots

Posted on by Don

I had a discussion yesterday with more than one person about the plight of pastors today. It seems that some pastors feel if they openly preach on certain Biblical topics, they believe they will offend some people that carry past or present baggage and lose a portion of their congregation.

We blame pastors for the gospel light inclusive pluralistic universalistic teaching that many of them are now spouting from their pulpits but we must also consider that there are many people sitting in the pews that will not endure sound doctrine anymore. Many are brainwashed by the liberal progressive message that prevails on all media.… continue reading

Wishing all in Christ a joyful new decade but a Happy one is doubtful.

Posted on by Don

Its is hard to believe that 2011 is already upon us. It was not so long ago that futurist projections for the year 2000 had people working 20 hour work weeks, traveling in flying cars, and using moving sidewalks for mass transit in the cities.

Yet, here it is 2011 and the only reason why people are working 20 hour weeks is because they cannot find full time jobs. The flying cars have not got off the ground and if they ever did EPA would ground them in the name of junk science. The moving sidewalks are only moving because they are cracking and crumbling and sliding out of place.… continue reading

Christmas exuberance won’t get me to shuffle off to Buffalo

Posted on by Don

Christmas exuberance won’t get me to shuffle off to Buffalo even though all of my close relatives live there. I actually used to do that once in a while in the past, but that was in the days when I thought the Buffalo Bills could win at football. We get ever more wiser as we get older. Now Christmas in Arizona would be more up my alley, but I am not about to travel there either just to try to find more Christmas exuberance.

Probably a large percent of the nation is trying to get somewhere where they really would rather not go in winter, but family obligations prevail – you know.… continue reading
