2 Ch 7:14: If My people read the context there would be less presumption

Posted on by Don

I have written on the misapplication of 2 Ch 7:14 before, but when I see a whole local Baptist conference trying to apply this verse to the Church in America I think it is the duty of those who know better to correct that false presumption.

Sometimes Christians will use a few words of scripture or a verse or even a passage to support a position but then if you check out their position against what the scripture actually says you see that either they never read the context or they do not have understanding of the passage. Therefore they misapply it.… continue reading

Fourth turning suggests over two decades of world chaos.

Posted on by Don

I do not totally buy into the “fourth turning” time cycles although the four turnings spoken about in that book do seem to occur about once in a human lifespan. I as well, see a bitter winter coming to our nation and the world in the near future. I think we are about two years away from at least two decades of unparalleled world chaos.

The validity of the fourth turning cycle theory really does not matter because by our own observations we can see the rise of evil all over the world and know that it will bring us a time of war and chaos.… continue reading

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

Posted on by Don

I found out yesterday just how fast the web host will take down your blog if it is using a little two much of their resources. I ran a site map tool in order to create a site map to submit to Google. I ran it at the default settings which runs five threads at the same time. I guess it took about three hours to make the sitemap of my website. Sometime shortly thereafter my web host denied service to anyone who wanted to visit this blog.

It took me most of yesterday to get them to get the blog back up.… continue reading

The final phase of the Korean war draws near.

Posted on by Don

The recent attacks from North Korea on South Korea seem designed to show its own military leaders that the son of Kim Il-sung has what it takes to succeed him and lead their country.

North Korea is really a military dictatorship. The military of North Korea is the all important to the Kim dynasty. Those in the military are taken care of first even if it means the rest of the nation starves. That might explain why North Korea has to keep up the tensions with South Korea. It helps them justify the huge military class that keeps the nation suppressed under tyranny.… continue reading

Anyone in America seeing the rising fascism yet?

Posted on by Don

Webster dictionary: Fascism – a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

Government and government partnered multinational corporations are in the process of taking over every aspect our our lives. American constitutional freedoms are being taken away while most live in apathy distracted by free bread and circus’. Fascism is being implemented in the name of safety, security and prosperity. But make no mistake, if we continue in this direction the end results will be tyranny.… continue reading

Don Koenig’s World Trends Forecast for 2020-2030 AD

Posted on by Don

I made my world trend projections for the 2010-2020 decade last year. It can be found on the sidebar. Now that we are in the new decade I will go out on a limb and give my world trends projections for the 2020-2030 decade. I am not a prophet. This is offered as just food for thought. You do not need to believe anything you read here. It is extremely unlikely that everything will happen as I say here. I may modify this world trends forecast as we get closer to the start of that decade as things get clearer (if I am still around).… continue reading

Rule by we the people, or rule by a dictator and appointed judges?

Posted on by Don

A federal judge has now told the government that the Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell law for people serving in the military is unconstitutional after being in effect in this nation for 17 years. So now the military is suddenly told to allow open homosexuals to serve. However, before that DADT law was even passed, homosexuals were not allowed in the military for the whole prior history of this nation. So if this seventeen year old DADT law was stuck down it seems to me that the previous rule of law for the military should remain in effect. That law was that anyone found to be engaging in homosexual activity in the military would be disciplined and probably given a discharge.… continue reading

Being scary is just too cool on Halloween.

Posted on by Don

Halloween is the time of the year when Mahmud Ahmadinejad masks sell like hot cakes because for some reason people think that having the scariest mug on the planet is just too cool on Halloween. Ahmadinejad by himself could haunt a house in the Christian most parts of Lebanon. This week he is on his way to do just that in person. October is the month when scary people like Ahmadinejad get a pass to act like themselves.

Maybe Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbolloah will come out of his black hole while Ahmadinejad is around and maybe Assad of Syria will join them so the trio can go knocking on doors yelling trick-or-treat and scaring people silly.… continue reading

The creative technical capabilities of man indicates the end is near

Posted on by Don

One of the sure signs that the end is near and that we are in the days just before the return of Jesus is man’s creative technical capabilities and increase in knowledge. Man now has the ability to create complex inventions that can be used to help the world or destroy the world.

One example of the more recent creative technical capabilities of man is his complex inventions based on acquired knowledge of nuclear physics. We know that this nuclear technology can be used for either good or evil, but obviously without God’s intervention man would have already destroyed the world during the era when the USSR and America had 10,000 hydrogen bombs pointed at each other.… continue reading

Troubled days ahead for the Middle East and America

Posted on by Don

There are troubled days ahead for the Middle East and America. It is not like this nation really deserves anything less. The Marxists could never have taken over our educational system, the media, our government and even many of our churches if those that call themselves Christians in this nation really believed, lived a Christian lifestyle and kept a Christian worldview.

Believe it or not, with all the talk of a take over by the conservative Right it still looks like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed and John McCain will all get reelected and stay in power. With that information in mind, how much do Americans really care that they have allowed socialist idealists to reshape America into their ideal of America being a secondary colony on the world collective ant farm?… continue reading

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

Posted on 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

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

Posted on 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 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 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

The truth about the sorry state of our American Union

Posted on 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.

The world is rapidly going nuts

Posted on 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

World agitators in motion signal the next world wash cycle

Posted on by Don

Anyone else getting the feeling that any remaining sanity on earth is rapidly evaporating because of anthropic global warming? I am not talking about the global warming delusion produced by Al Gore. I am talking about the global warming reality that is produced by the hot heads and air heads of the world.

It seems mankind is like a garment that must go through a cleansing cycle about every 80 years. After the world goes through a wash cycle it becomes as clean as it can get. It then progressively gets dirtier again and in about 80 years God has to throw it back into the washing machine to get rid of the accumulated filth.… 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

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

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
