This article might kick some sacred cows of conservative Christian Americans and the Bible prophecy “experts” that many follow, so you have been warned. This article is also very long (over 5000 words), so if you have no attention span and cannot critically think like most in this sound bite generation, then this article was not written for you. On the positive side, that would also eliminates 99 percent of the people who would be critical of this article and all people hired to read blogs by government spy agencies. đ
This article has six sections that I call points and it also has a brief summery. One of the main thesis of this article is that those fretting over the future through endless conjectures about the near future, and even events in Bible prophecy, will probably also be traveling down a lot of rabbit trails and missing the forest for the trees. The other main thesis in this paper is that there are many spokes within the humanistic globalist wheel. Just obsessing over a certain spoke is not going to change where the Globalist wheel is destined. People that study Bible prophecy and believe we are near the end ought to know where the world is heading. They should not be losing their cool as the inevitable becomes reality.
If you listen to those teaching Bible prophecy or those teaching the need for Americans to repent, the focus is almost always about the particular spokes in the globalist wheel that irks them. For example, Islam, politics, economics, permissiveness, religious pluralism, wars, infanticide, multiculturalism, radical environmentalism, etc. However, few see that these spokes are just supporting and going along with the socialistic humanistic wheel. I will be getting into all that below.
Point 1 – Endless Bible prophecy speculation becomes one of the end time plagues
I am increasingly becoming aware that well-known names in Bible Prophecy are getting lost in minute details that nobody in the Church is likely to know with any reasonable certainty before the prophetic events start becoming reality. There are those that are making their own eschatology time clocks with newspaper papier-mâchÊ, and then they want others to believe that from this unreliable self-made contraption that they figured out the timing, sequence, and distinct details of future prophetic events.
They preach that Israel, Islam, nature, world figures, and nations will dance to the chime of their self-made newspaper clock and they sell Bible prophecy student bragging rights to anyone that buys what they are selling. They set dates and future events based on their own conjectures rather than on solid Bible exegesis and then when events do not play out as they once so dogmatically proclaimed, they just lay down more newspapers for the cuckoo in their clock.
It would take a rather large museum to contain this vast Bible prophecy newspaper exegesis conjecture collection and it is increasingly being added to daily. Someone could add wax dummies speaking audio soundbites proclaiming the speculative conjectures of the dummies, that the dummies represent, and make a lot of money charging admission. I can just see the museum sign now, “The Failed Bible prophecy Wax Museum of Hope Arkansas. Admission is just 25 cents but check your brain at the door.”
People that once were following prophetic events, now see so many different views that never play out as the newspaper prophets predict that they rightly wonder if any of these Bible prophecy “experts” really know what they are talking about.
If you don’t get what I am talking about, you probably have not read enough of the current “Bible prophecy” teachings. I thought about naming names and what various end time “experts” have said, and are saying, but for the sake of peace and not writing a book here, I will relent. Christians that do have discernment should be able to sort this stuff out. It is pretty obvious how far the study of Bible prophecy has fallen in the last few decades.
There once was a time when Bible prophecy experts actually used the Bible for their main support, but now they mix in quite a bit of pagan prophecies, mysticism, and headline news as if everything is truth and related to prophetic events. The sad thing is that valid Bible prophecy teachers allowed this to happen. Some of these supposedly discerning Bible prophecy teachers appear with and even promote the side-show barkers so they can sell their own stuff on the Bible prophecy media.
Even the best teachers in Bible prophecy seem to be getting bogged down on issues of Islam, nationalism, politics or the economy. It seems to me that many have got caught up in the contemporary spokes of the big wheel. When people just wrote books, they talked what they knew and researched and stayed on topic. Now with endless media appearances, everyone that has expert knowledge in one field of study wants everyone to believe that they are also knowledgeable about everything else in the world.
For example, some fairly well known Bible prophecy or Christian current event media broadcasters seem to have come to the conclusion that they are also biblical discernment, apologetic experts, and theologians without ever doing the in-depth study required. Opinions sometimes replace sound biblical reasoning and when their opinions clash with real experts that have long distinguished records on Christian apologetics and biblical discernment, they have no problem telling the world that they know better.
This can only happen in our time, when anyone can become a broadcaster by setting up a website or buying radio or TV time. If some of these media hosts spent more of their time learning the scriptures using sound exegesis, and if they listened to the real Bible experts instead of those furthering some new ear tickling new revelation, they would not be enabling people selling aberrant theology (unless of course, it really is all about selling something).
Point 2 – Utopia is a humanistic socialist ball that orbits the sun between Mars and Venus
Much of what is going on in the world today in religion and politics is really working toward the same humanistic socialist utopian end. However, if you major on the minors (or spokes) that are taking us toward this elite controlled world socialism, you are going to be going down a lot of dead ends because even the world elite have not figured out exactly how they get to their utopian end. That is why there are many plans and back-up plans, and that is why the world chess game continues. It is not all straight forward where everyone is following the same master plan. The world elite believes there is a learning curve; they get to their humanistic Utopia through trial and error.
The globalist socialists never give up because when their plans fail, they believe they learned why it failed, so now this new refinement has to be implemented. They see no other possible solution for the survival of the world. According to these elite, the earth definitely would not survive without their “more evolved” enlightened management. Just ask Al Gore, Tony Blair or Oprah. Keep in mind that these people believe the end justifies the means. So all possibilities to get to that utopian end remain on the table.
All the way back to the fall at Babylon, the satanic elite have been looking for a way to unite mankind again in common purpose. World War I and II were really fought over how the world gets to that end and who controls it. Man in his fallen nature thinks that he can evolve and reestablish paradise on earth. Throughout history, the wars of conquest were mainly to unite the world under some common leader with the hope that this leader could unite mankind.
What we observe in the world today, like collapsing economies, religious movements, and the rise and fall of nations are just different spokes for different folks that are supporting a much larger humanistic wheel. The spokes are not the wheel and if you only look at the spokes, you are not going to see the common socialistic globalist agenda. In other words, you’re probably not seeing the forest for the trees.
Point 3 – Islamofacism is just one spoke supporting the globalist wheel
If you believe an Islamic Caliphate will take over the world, you probably are suffering from contemporary Bible prophecy myopia. The satanic world elite are using all available opportunities (the spokes) to support the big wheel that also could be called humanism. This humanism leads to a one world globalist socialist world government.
Contrary to what some in Bible prophecy think about Islam, the satanic world elite are not interested in any certain religious ideology taking over the world. They already know that all major religious ideologies conform to their own socialist one world agenda. All major world religions push some form of socialism or collectivism because that is the common end of world religion (true Christianity is the exception because it is a relationship and not a human works based religion).
A prime example in misdirected thinking is when people get very upset because Islam has infiltrated high levels of the American government and influences this administration. Glenn Beck did a documentary on the Islamic infiltration of the Obama administration. That of course is true, Islam is found in high levels of our government but so is Christianity. What Americans should be much more concerned about is that state sponsored socialist collectivism has already taken over most of our society.
Islam in the world is just another means toward the globalists end. In most of the world, the means to their end is liberalism or progressive socialism. In Russia and China, it is fascism. Europe is also heading from Fabian Socialism to fascism as the economic crisis makes it possible for EU centralized bureaucratic authoritarian rule to supersede traditional national sovereignty .
Islam is a major regional force in the world but the oil wealth developed by the West made it possible. Uniting Islam under the Islamofascist worldview in that region of the world is just another spoke in the wheel to get the world to the globalist fascist end. We do not need to fear the spoke called Islam as much as we need to fear the whole collective fascist ridden wheel that also could be called elite controlled humanism or global socialism.
I also have news for Glenn Beck, Mormonism is also another spoke supporting that big socialist wheel. Find out where Mormons plan to take the world. Read about Mormon eschatology. They do not want to take us back to 1776, they want a future Mormon world that doles out global fascism through a Mormon theocracy.
My point is that Islam is not going to take over the world, nor will Mormonism or any other religion. With these humanists, major religions are just different paths that help man evolve. All major religion will be used to help bring in their one world socialism. Now you should understand why Islamists and liberal progressives have a common purpose and why they work together for the common world socialistic agenda.
Having the common end goal objectives does not mean that religious people will not war against each other over particular points of world control. It has happened before and it will happen again. The spokes are mainly concerned with their place in the wheel, they do not see the common end destination of the wheel. If they did, they probably would abort.
Point 4 – The ongoing socialist wheel just keeps rolling along
World War I and II were really fought over world socialism. The capitalists in America came out on top because the socialists divided over methods of world control. The League of Nations and the United Nations were actually designed to bring in a socialist world government. Their founding documents makes that clear, the bylaws of the UN makes that clear, and the actions of the UN with its global control programs and Agenda 21 makes that abundantly clear.
The world elite of Europe have been working toward this end for a very long time. Sometimes wars help advance their socialist agenda, but often things just do not turn out like they envisioned and unintended consequences takes on a life of its own. Nevertheless, the world agenda of the socialists goes on and on like the Energizer Bunny and they are going to continue to keep trying to bring this fascist humanistic socialistic utopia on earth even if it kills us.
Almost all the major events happening in the world today are part of this satanically influenced agenda to bring in global world socialism. The godless elite see no other way that the world can survive. So let’s do an analysis of the major world trends and see if we can examine major supporting spokes and get a better feel for the big wheel that they are supporting:
After the last two world wars, Israel was allowed to come back into existence in the Middle East by the socialist elite to be a scapegoat nation that would bring the world to the place where it very much is now. Israel was even given nuclear weapon grade material to ensure that it would survive until its purpose to unite Muslim countries of the Middle East against her in hate were brought to fruition.
Now Israel thinks its survival is threatened by Iran but the world elite have different plans. They have no intention of allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons. The Iranian threat is useful to them right now to help unite Islam under the majority Sunni sect. Uniting Islam is essential to having world socialism rule within that very large segment of the world.
Most of the Western world is already united on pseudo Christianity which really is socialistic humanism. Even so, pseudo Christianity has not had much influence in controlling nations east of Jerusalem. Israel is now bringing Islam together by uniting them in hate against Israel and pseudo Christians. Iran will become disposable once the Muslim Brotherhood takes over the Middle East and North Africa.
Islam does not concern the satanic elite because they believe they will get Islam to join with the pseudo Christian world harlot at some point. The Vatican has even more influence over the UN agenda than does Islam. The power elite want a one world religious movement that will become the grass-roots enforcer of their world fascism. (The word fascism is hardly used because socialism sounds more acceptable to the world, but make no mistake, when central government controls multinational corporations, world religions and all resources and people on earth, it is fascism.)
In spite of all the speculation about an Israeli strike on Iran this fall, Israel is not going to do anything about Iran because they have been told that the world will not allow them to do that now. And by spring, Israel will not have the capabilities to stop Iran’s program. Why go to the UN and talk about a red line if you know you’re going to do the job yourself in weeks? Unbelieving Israel obviously has put its trust in the hands of the world elite for whatever that is worth. Long term, it is a big mistake, but we should already know that if we know Bible prophecy.
The elite of the world want this Arab Spring. They are believing that this “democracy” movement will spread throughout the Middle East and into Iran, but if that does not happen, they will have the United States take out Iran’s nuclear capabilities and overthrow the twelver’s that are now running Iran.
A war with Iran right now would just set back their plans to bring in the Muslim socialist “democracies” that they want controlling all the Middle East and North Africa. This sets up a revived Roman Empire scenario for the elite of Old Europe.
The power elite need the religious clerics of Islam to control the tribal warlords in Muslim areas. The warlords were controlled by secular strongman leaders but power and riches made these dictators enemies of world socialism so the world power brokers decided that those that will not conform will have to go. They know they cannot have socialism in this area of the world without repressive religion controlling the people, so that is why the world socialists are supporting Islam. Expect the European Harlot and Islam to come to some common agreement in the name of world peace (It probably will not happen before a great war).
Don’t take me wrong, the world elite do not want real representative government anywhere. The world elite just want the Muslims to believe they have some form of representative government so the Islamofascist clergy can gain total control. Anyone out of step with the Islamofascist agenda in these areas of the world will find themselves in the grave. Even so, at some point the Roman Harlot somehow gains control over the Islamic clerics. Some think Islam was just a Jesuit plot anyway. (I think a post Rapture Marian apparition coming in the name of world peace will probably bring about the uniting of world religions. However, world peace under pluralism and universalism will mean persecution of any people that actually come to believe in Jesus or YHWH.
Those pushing for this one world humanistic agenda have plans for any contingency, but their past record shows a history of failures to achieve their agenda. So, sure, once again, the whole world socialist agenda has a very good chance to blow up in their face and just start another world war. In fact, I think that is more likely than not. But, another world war is their fallback plan anyway. One way or another, they plan to have world socialism, and if they cannot do it through peace they will attempt to accomplish it through war.
What the satanic elite want, is a world controlled by the United Nations that is heavily influenced by satanically controlled people in Old Europe. All those think tanks and elite occult clubs that you heard so much about have been working toward this elite controlled utopian socialist world government for a very long time. Some call it a conspiracy, but they really have not been hiding their socialist global agenda at all. Most people are just too dumbed down to figure it out.
Point 5 – Utopians plan for a wealth redistribution centerÂ
One great problem the power elite have had establishing their world agenda is that some nations have had too much power, too much wealth and had real representative democracy. People with liberty are not likely to want to follow the decrees of globalist authoritarians. Their solution for this is to create crises and also try to destroy or redistribute the wealth of the middle-class in these nations.
Some wealth redistributing schemes that come to mind are income taxes (robbery), VAT taxes (robbery), carbon taxes (robbery), sales taxes, quantitative easing or currency devaluation (robbery), debt default (robbery) and costs and fees to comply with endless regulations that their sold out crony’s in government conjured up (robbery).
The humanistic elites believe that some nations like the United States are just too powerful and are using way too much of the world’s resources and that is not sustainable for the survival of the world. They think these powerful nations must come down to whatever they decide is the common denominator. Their goal is to manage all the resources and all the people of the whole earth.
These are not particularly nasty people, they just believe that it is up to them to save the world from people that they think are getting more than their share and from overpopulation. Some obviously have delusions of grandeur and I have never seen a socialist nation were the elite were not a privileged class and wealthy. That is why some of the richest people in the world promote wealth redistribution through state enforced socialism.
Plans to bring down the United States and plans to reshape Europe into a more centralized authoritarian system are now underway through socialistic entitlements and the banker and bureaucratically created ongoing debt crisis. They first created a society dependent on promises the government could not keep, and then they just kept adding to the debt until the debt could never be paid off. Now, they are using the inability to pay the debt to take away national sovereignty in Europe and to establish a centralized authoritarian government there. Who needs tanks to take over Europe when you control the whole monetary system?
They want those living in the United States to lose most of their wealth but that is not all they want, they want the United States to also lose her superpower status. Once Europe becomes controlled by an authoritarian elite, I believe the United Nations will be moved to Europe. I also think the UN will move to Europe because I think these United States of America will no longer exist as we know it.
The Old world elite really do not have much love for the New World. As far as they are concerned, the America’s could just sink in the ocean. Some in Old Europe and elsewhere would think the world would be better off if America never existed.
An EMP over America might be required if the Americans actually wake up and stop the planted socialists from bringing America to its ruin. I think Russia or China would be complicit in an EMP attack against the United States once the USÂ wealth redistribution to China tapers off. Russia has no love for America. The Russian fascists know that with their natural resources, they could control much of the world if America ceased to be a superpower. America is now being used by the power elite to build up China, but the Chinese will try to find a way to get America out of the picture within the decade. Then they will move to control South East Asia.
Russia or China probably would find a way to either enable Iran or N. Korea to carry out an EMP attack or they will just make it look like their own EMP attack came from one of them. Yeah, I am cynical. These nations are no friends of ours and its time to quit pretending that the cold war has ended. They might not be true Communists anymore but they are fascists that hate America.
If that EMP does not happen or something else, the fascist socialists that seem to be controlling Homeland Security will find a way to bring Americans down. After all, American’s have already given up their constitutional rights for homeland security and Homeland Security is increasingly controlled by a federal police force with billions of bullets and all kinds of high-tech surveillance and control weapons. These things are not being prepared for any foreign enemy that I could ever imagine and the Martians would move out of the solar system before they would get in a pissing contest with our resident feminazies.
I would also think that the global elite would want to bring Japan down. The debt Japan has and the demographic structure in Japan will probably accomplish that very soon but an EMP from China or N. Korea could also do the job much quicker. South Korea will be a much weakened nation after the destruction of Seoul by the guns and missiles of North Korea. Taiwan and South East Asia will be absorbed by China.
India, Pakistan, and China then will probably end up fighting each other leaving Europe and Russia as the only superpowers on earth for a short period. After that, Bible prophecy is the only reliable guide about what happens in the last seven years of this age but what it says is not pretty.
I know it sounds too brutal to be true, but keep in mind that many of the power elite believe that the earth can only sustain one hundred million to two billion people (depending upon whom you ask). They know they cannot have a world utopia with the projected populations that we have today so finding ways to get rid of billions of people is the hidden part of the sustainable development agenda. They disagree about the best way to do that themselves. Some would just want to sterilize most of the world, but that birth control method would be much too slow for others.
In the big prophetic picture, shortly after world religion and world socialism take over the earth, there will be war in heaven and Satan and his angels will be cast down unto the earth. The earthly agenda of the heavenly disposed will be far worse than anything the socialist elite ever envisioned. In fact, Satan and his angels will have no love for world religion or the world elite. They will become disposable as he brings the world to almost total destruction (Jesus will cut that plan short, otherwise no one would survive).
Point 6 –Â The last word on Bible prophecy
If you are one of those that think Islam is about to take over the world, or if you think there is someone who you can elect to office that will change the direction of where we are heading, then we would not be in the end times. I find it interesting that the very Bible prophecy teachers that should know that these things must take place, think that Americans could now do something to prevent it.
If the end times are now upon us like many Bible prophecy teachers now say, where is the time for that big American revival? In fact, how are we going to have a big American revival when it never gets going? Not many are doing the 40 day fast and pray program that Billy Graham announced as a final warning. In fact, I know of none around here that are participating at all.
God knows how to take care of His own. If I am correct and the end is coming in about two decades, the Rapture cannot be that far off. It could happen today and it almost certainly will happen within a decade or so. There is absolutely nothing in scripture that says the Rapture cannot occur any number of years before the final seven years. If we are as close to the end as most Bible prophecy teachers say, Obama and the economy of the United States should not be the major concern of Christians. The Lord’s soon coming and what we can do for Him meanwhile, should be our major concern.
People in Israel are prophetically destined to go through the tribulation no matter what the Bible prophecy “experts” speculate about the sequence of end time events. We know that two-thirds in Israel are killed during the last holocaust and those that are saved have to flee into the mountains for 42 months. So, no matter what happens this year or in the next few years in Israel, those living in Israel are still in for great tribulation in the very near future. All the speculation about the sequence of end time events is not going to change the timing of the Rapture of the Church or the Tribulation for Israel. So, conjecture about end time things might be interesting but if they are the main focus of our Christian walk we might ask ourselves why?
From the stuff I read, many contemporary Bible prophecy “experts” think Christians need to know all the steps for every possible future dance in the Middle East. As the steps they call continue to be wrong, it is more likely that Christians will get tired of two-stepping with many of these Middle East dance experts.
I guess what I am implying is that many Christians need to stop majoring in the minors on Bible prophecy. What is the point of figuring out every detail of Bible prophecy if you’re not planning on being here anyway? And if you’re planning on being here for those end time events, you will know soon enough what happened by watching Fox News.
Some people are losing their minds over what Israel or Iran or the Arabs will or will not do next in the Middle East. I would not get too concerned, it will all work out as written in the book. What else would you expect if we are near the end of the age?
Why are some of you so concerned with the prosperity of America for the next four years and why do some Christians lose their cool because other Christians believe that the time left for America to repent is long gone? We are not saying that individuals In America cannot still repent. After all, many of you Bible prophecy “experts” claim that America is not a factor in Bible prophecy and the Rapture will happen yesterday. So, where do you find the time for America to repent in Bible prophecy?
So which is it? Are Americans being given a harbinger to repent, a last warning, so that she can repent, or is the harbinger of the end times already upon the world as the same Bible prophecy “experts” are also implying? Many Bible prophecy “experts” seem to be talking out of both side of their mouth. Well, that is my opinion, from what I hear from the Bible prophecy “experts”. But, I am sure these Bible prophecy “experts” have their own rationalization.
Summary?
We can be pretty certain that a globalist utopia will be attempted and the attempt will come through the power of the world elite that controls Old Europe and the UN.
The Vatican and Islam and all in the Harlot will play a role in these end times but the Harlot certainly will not like the final outcome. According to Revelation 17, the Harlot is burned by the ten kings that give power to the Beast but hate her. Also, during this prophetic period, the Antichrist and False Prophet will rule on earth and I do not think they will be taking pointers from the world elite for very long.
The Antichrist will have millions of demons, or fallen angels at his disposal. This lawless one will have his very own agenda and he will play God on earth. So, at that point, I do not think that he will be calling out plays out of the world elitist socialist playbook. He will have no love for man, his agenda at first will be to destroy the Jews but when that fails, he will seek to depopulate the planet. In fact, no flesh would survive if Jesus did not return to end this time of destruction on earth.
That is the final agenda and conjecture about what will happen in Israel, Iran, Islam or America might be interesting conjecture to some but conjecture will not change the outcome.
Those not seeing the big wheel of world socialism are likely to attack one or more spokes of the global socialist agenda but just attacking spokes may lead to unintended consequences. For example, what was meant to only bring regional socialism through Islam could lead to the unintended consequences of a world war between civilizations if people attack Islam because they did not see the power elite agenda using Islam to help bring in world socialism.
We can flip out over one or more of the spokes designed to support the humanistic socialistic global agenda for an elite run socialistic utopia (like some not seeing the big picture are now doing with Islam), but the big wheel toward fascist world socialism will continue to roll on anyway. If we only deal with spokes that support the humanistic socialistic world agenda, the wheel will still roll on until the final destination is reached anyway.
Postscript 05/10.
If you’re not tired of reading. I just ran into this series on the history of World War III from a link that was posted on Steve Quayle’s site today that linked to this article posted on NewsWithViews.com. I said to myself this guy seems to think almost like me on this topic. The elitist agenda is all about world Communism. Therefore, I thought it was fitting to add a link to his series. You might also want to be checking for future posts in his series on that website.
Good thoughts Don and we indeed need to step back and keep in mind the big picture which is the only thing that we can really be sure of which is the world is changing towards this “utopia” and God has already laid out for us who wins in the end.
It is easy to get caught up in the “what’s next” because we are all guilty of still trying to live our lives for ourselves right to the last minute. Revival or no revival the church’s mandate has not changed and Jesus is still looking to us to wake up and open the door. Jesus still is going about His Father’s business and we need to be on task. Revival can be a easy out for most with one key speaker reaching hundreds or more but recognizing that my neighbor needs Jesus and I have a responsibility to reach out personaly well that’s a lot harder.
I can’t change the world by election or by comdemning another religion or by endless debates on views of prophecy but I can work hard at encouraging my fellow beleivers, following Jesus fully and seeking to introduce whoever will listen to my Saviour.
Out of all this I am reminded of two things that I can be sure of is and that Jesus came to save and time is running short.
David
The only certainties are the prophecies written in Scripture, but the attempt to interpret, to put them in chronological order, or to look for their near fulfilment can be interesting.
However I am with you Don, in so much as I admit to a creeping boredom with those whose blogs are founded on eschatology. To sustain their readership they must pull a rabbit out of every political twist and turn.
The ultimate aim of Satan is to be like the Most High and my understanding of such a position would necessitate worship. The world must be brought to a place where mankind will bow their knee to his rule. Because socialism is Godless, your take seems a realistic appraisal of what will be. It will be the perfect medium for Satan’s genius of deception and infiltration.
A world governed by a single dogma will soon be ruled by a single individual.
Don:
I was anxiously awaiting your next posting and as usual, you have hit the nail squarely on the head. I am not a politcal expert by any stretch of the imagination but I do have a passion for biblical prophecy and eschatology and even without having the vast knowledge of politics or really being an expert in anything, this I do know, your postings are consistently on the mark regarding where we are, where we are headed and how it’s going down. I know that the Lord has reminded me often that this is the way it is because His word has laid it out for us already but we still don’t recognize, even though we say we believe we are in the end times. And even with believing we are in the end times, most believers (if you can truly call them that) are oblivious to what is happening of if so, then as to why. This becomes frustrating to me when I feel like I am one of few who see what’s going on and where we are, however, this as well is what the Lord said would be in the end times regarding the “church”, they would be asleep. Well, in some ways from the natural standpoint it seems things are bad and indeed they are, however, our Great King will return and He will restore this planet and reign supreme. And to think that He made salvation available to one such as me that I might too reigh with Him, well that is the most mind boggling thing as well. Don, thank you for your candid views and for the courage to share them even when so many don’t want to be disturbed.
Don,
I see EMP is back in the blog. The most catastrophic threat (still #1 on your threat list, IINM) continues to be largely ignored by those in power, other than to buy up bullets. An EMP, IMO, [also] cuts the head off the eagle, so I don’t really know how they plan on transporting all those bullets. And, “we the people” are likely to “take those bullets away” under such better than probable event. More of the same “backfire” planning on the part of the elitists.
As for me, I’m not concerned about any of the spokes, other than figuring out how I’m gonna survive. Considering the years of thought on the topic of personal/family survival, let’s just say, from my perspective, things look pretty grim. I’m out of ideas.
I’m glad you have the time to devote to the subject and be a watchman, because I’m exhausted just trying to hold down a job, and I’m not entirely positive about that prospect.
Greetings Don~Some Bible Prophecy teachers seem to be promoting a dichotomy. It’s been a bit unsettling, especially of late. I have been wondering how we can be on the brink, yet turn things around if we will only do… fill in the blank. I can’t help but wonder if the teachers are aware of their dual positions. I have found myself caught up in the newspaper eisexegesis & wondering if ‘Israel will do this’ or ‘Iran will do that’. Concerning the socialist agenda it brought the scripture Genesis 6:5 to mind-‘Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually’…seems appropriate.
We are on a community well in our neighborhood. Yesterday we had no water. I started thinking about how long people could go without water. Not long. An EMP could well bring us down very quickly. We need to be light & salt while we still have time.
Once in a while a good smack upside the head to bring clear thinking is necessary. Thank you for being that smack for me! đ
Thank you for your clarity! I thoroughly enjoyed the article, even more so than usual!
Great article Don. I agree that people are not looking at the bigger picture. Is there any defense against this huge socialist humanistic wheel of death?
You’ve done it again Don. Amazing article!
Thanks for the comments everyone. I am surprised people are reading this long article that gets into so many different issues. You all must have skipped out of postmodernism 101.
Jim,
The only defense against this globalist humanistic agenda is spiritual warfare, that was delaying it in America but now so many in this nation have bought into this the humanism worldview. By looking at the recent gains that they have made in the world I do not think the true Church will be able to work much longer out in the open. On the other hand, we probably will not be here much longer either.
even i read the article word for word and i liked it alot, seems to explain exatcly what goes on in the world.- 27 year old, been studying bible prophecy since 2006.
Again Don,
You have hit the nail right on the head with this article!
Because of my work, I do a great deal of international travel. And I meet people from many different backgrounds. I have found so many people are uneasy about the future and many people can see the “signs”. Yet they seem to prefer to live in a state of mental denial.
Many times I have had conversations with people about events in airports, hotel bars and even on the London tube. When I share my views, I have noticed I have a small audience listening. I also have noticed, when I place these events in a Biblical context, I seem to get a few laughs.
But these are always very nervous laughs.
Pray, look up and rejoice!!!!
Excellent article, Don. I enjoyed reading every word.
I often find myself wondering who will actually go in the rapture. I know quite a few people that I would call genuine Christians -they believe in Jesus’ atoning sacrifice for their sins (John 3:16) and have a relationship with the Lord – but they don’t believe in the rapture.
One minister even preached from our local church pulpit once that anyone who believed in the rapture was deluded and was looking for an escape clause; but he truly believes in Jesus. I guess you’d call him an amillennialist.
Do you think these people get raptured, Don?
Personally, I do, as I don’t think our salvation is dependent on anything other than us accepting Jesus dying for our sins. I think they will get a shock once it happens, and realise their theology in that area was wrong, but they will be with the rest of the bride. I can’t see anything in the Bible that talks about anyone other than unbelievers being left behind but if you have a different view on this I’d appreciate you sharing it.
Thanks again, Don, great read.
Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who combined left-wing and right-wing political views. Fascists have commonly opposed having a firm association with any section of the left-right spectrum, considering it inadequate to describe their beliefs, though fascism’s goal to promote the rule of people deemed innately superior while seeking to purge society of people deemed innately inferior is identified as a prominent far-right theme. Fascism opposes multiple ideologies: conservatism, liberalism, and two major forms of socialism â communism and social democracy.

I think all these various ideologies are merely stepping-stones to a form of rule that has all but disappeared. I think that when God said ten kings and a prince. That was exactly what he meant!
Good article.
Hello Don,
Really enjoyed the article. You covered a lot of bases. I think the flood of Bible prophecy “experts” has indeed damaged a considerable number of people with their inaccurate predictions, confusing explanations, etc.. Those who don’t believe, end up mocking the word of God; Those who are young believers can become jaded, cynical, and fall away from the Lord; and from what I have read on other blogs such as Rapture Ready, there are many who become so obsessed with the end times events that they become harsh, judgmental, and clearly have no joy of the Lord today as they are wanting the end to happen today! I loved the description using the wagon wheel picture… Many spokes, coming out from one hub. It is easy to become focused on the spokes, and also fear the hub, forgetting that our God is indeed in control.
Also, along with what you said about “majoring in the minors”… There are so many within the body that are offending each other over theological issues that have nothing to do with salvation, but are simply academic exercise… People getting lost in the weeds on Biblical prophecy, Wesley vs Calvin, etc, when the ultimate concern is really faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, and living in relationship with Him. Theological viewpoints become the mountain on which I will die… Which has led to divisiveness within the body of Christ as a whole.
As I read your article, one overriding theme came to me.. Trust God… Live in relationship to Him… Do the work he has called you to do.
Your article went well with my morning coffee. Thank you. đ

Don,
Thank you so much for your commentary. As far as I’m concerned, your commentaries are never too long. In fact, I wish you did them more often. Please continue to write them. We desperately need a God-centered viewpoint and boldness in these last of the last days. May God continue to bless you with true discernment!
Christina,
I think all in the spiritual Body of Christ will be taken just like Paul said. However, most in the visible church are not in the spiritual Church. I cannot judge who is or is not in the Church, but Jesus certainly knows.
I think some ranters get confused with the terms they use. The Bible certainly teaches that believers will be “caught up” or “snatched away” to meet the Lord so any honest person can’t miss that. I think some who are ranting against the Rapture just screw up their terms. What they really are ranting against is the theology where the Church is said to be taken before or sometime within the tribulation. In other words they hate Dispensational Theology because they are post millennial.
Most Amillennial theologians believe the Church will be “caught up” to meet Jesus at the end of the age, they know that the scripture says the Church will be “harpazo” “caught up” (or Rapture in Latin) at the last Trump. They just allegorize or spiritualize away the tribulation and the millennium and have us go directly into eternity.
Therefore, I would not call that preacher amillennial, he probably has some delusion that he is already living in the Kingdom and is ranting at Rapture believers because he thinks you Christians are looking to escape, rather then looking forward to fighting against the Devil and taking the world for Christ by force, so this preacher’s kingdom on earth can be more peaceful. đ
A very good and informative article Don.Great job.
I just added a postscript to the end of the article. I put in a link to an article that I just came across about World War III. You might want to check out the link because this guy seems to be saying much the same thing. It is all about world Communism.
Thanks again Don!
I think worrying and agonizing over end time prophecy or changes in our society are a huge waste of time for christians.
if we have paid attention our time is short.Better to do exactly what Jesus said- spread the gospel-and simply be aware of the timing of things.
you know, the prophets did not just talk about the end times. a prophet spoke the Word of God- not just end time prophecy! they called for repentance. they warned of consequences.
Yes, Don you are doing this, bless you. May we all take heart and follow your example!
Faith
Don,
Thank you for your reply and for the link to that series of articles. While so many in the main stream media are focusing on the far-right “threat” of extremist parties and their views it seems that Communism is sneaking under the radar and making inroads everywhere you look.
Rod in Oregon,
Your comments on “majoring on minors” were spot-on – thank you.
Don,
I love the spokes in the wheel illustration. I am reminded that as I young girl in the late 80’s I enjoyed going to a Friday night Bible study that for a while dealt with prophecy and eschatology. Back in the day it was actually fun. I felt insulated and far removed from the events. Nowadays it’s quite a different story. It’s sobering, and when I take my eyes off my Savior, scary. Maranatha! Lord Jesus, come!
Just another thought regarding communism – something my parents have experience first-hand.
There is nothing so blood-soaked as communism. You look at what the communist are doing to believers in China and in North Korea and they make the Muslims look like rank amateurs.
At least 70,000 Christians are in prison camps in North Korea alone. God help us when persecution comes here. We are already seeing marginalization and hostility. I will be sure to read the articles you linked to right away. Thank you.
Anna,
Not to mention the 100 million or so the communists killed in the 20th century.
Don,
It is quite staggering the number of Christians killed in the last 100 years. Have you read any good estimates as to how many were killed during the Roman era? I have read as many as 100,000, but the source was questionable. So your of the opinion that ultimately it is a “world socialist” agenda that is ultimately at the hub of the wheel??
And Anna, thanks for your comments… Although it was Don who I took the “majoring in the minors” quote from.. Although I have heard it before, it was Don who skillfully used it in his article. đ
One other thing Don… I find it interesting that so often, the biggest “fans” of socialism are those who have never lived under it’s boot.
Rod in Oregon đ Hope your having a blessed weekend.
Hi Rod,
I do not know what the correct figures are. I don’t think anyone really knows.
This whole socialism versus capitalism argument is just a smokescreen behind which the real evil hides. Our Bible tells us it is the love of money that is the root of evil in this world. It tells us it is the rich who are the oppressors. I quoted Rothschild in my last post to point to the type that God is speaking of. I am not telking about some guy who worked hard and did good. I started my first business when I was only 14 years old, and I have always been on the lookout for ways of turning a profit.
These are the string-pullers of our world, and they don’t give a damn about ideologies. In fact they use them to keep the mushrooms in the dark.
We currently have a coalition government in the UK. The way this works in reality is that we now have a bunch of right-wing, homosexual abortionists calling the shots. Who allow their big-business supporters to rob the British people through the welfare system, whilst blaming the poorest in society for all its ills. I will explain…
We have a system of welfare called ‘Working Tax Credits’. On the surface its a system set up to help the lowest payed people to cope with the cost of living. They pay income tax on a reducing scale depending on their circumstances. If they are on pay that is below the level required to support them and their family, they will actually receive payments from the scheme to bring them up to the required level. This scheme represents 50% of the total welfare budget. 40% is pensions. The rest is sickness and unemployment etc.
This is not a conservative government invention. But it is kept in place by them. Why? The answer becomes clear once we peel back the veneer of supposed social concern. What we find is that big business is the greatest beneficiary of the system. They pay – below living cost wages – and the government picks up the bill. It is nothing more than a means of robbing the county to subsidise their profits. And it happened the same under the last socialist government too.
Political ideologies don’t oppress and kill people. They are merely the tools used by the world’s elite to gather the mushrooms to battle. Their tools are not confined to politics. The include tribalism, nationalism, patriotism, and even religion. In fact anything that gives you an ‘us and them’ mentality, rather than ‘love thy neighbour’.
Hi Phil,
America also has a negative income tax that sends money to those under a certain income line. If that is not wealth redistribution, I do not know what is.
Why do people who are already rich want more? Because more money gives them more power and more bragging rights. There are three things that rule the satanic world system. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
I think you use the term right-wing kind of loosely, or else you are really talking about Nazis or Fascists instead of conservations. By the way, there are no truly conservative governments in advanced nations on earth today. They have all bought into progressive humanism.
Most big business is owned by those owning stocks. The vast majority of stocks are owned by small time investors, pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, banks, etc. And yes, Banks are mostly owned by the same mix of investors. Big business left alone is not as cynical as you seem to think. The real problem is when the state stacks the deck for one big business over another. That is crony capitalism. Then crony capitalism leads to the surviving businesses financially support the political system that is feeding them. Once that happens you have a statist fascist circular system like China. In China the fascist elite take a disproportionate share of the money and the common people that are under state controlled socialism are the low wage worker bees.
Political ideologies do lead to people killing people. The elite might push the ideologies, but people can pay the cost to reject them – as many have in history. Christians should not be following man-made humanism and those that don’t are the true conservatives of this world.
I wouldn’t put any man-made ideological name to what I think Christians should be following. The example was set by Jesus and his earliest followers. And I suspect those Christians who are saved after the rapture will be living in a manor that closely resembles that practised by those earliest followers of Christ.
“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35. and put it at the apostlesâ feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.” [Acts 4:32-35]
If that is conservatism, it doesn’t resemble anything I see practised by those calling themselves Conservatives. I am not a socialist in the sense of what that means today. But they clearly were not capitalists in the sense of what that means either.
It appears to me that what we know as socialism, is the skeleton of that was dumped by the early church when it jumped into bed with Roman society. Satan, in his love of perverting all things Godly, picked it up, fleshed it out with his twisted ideas, and sent it back to bite us. The christian church has never fully repented of its sell out to the world. That’s why it so vigorously defends unbridled capitalism.
Big business, left alone will do exactly what we can see it has done today. It will use the resources and infrastructure of countries like our own to grow and prosper. Then they will cynically betray the country they owe their success to, by moving somewhere they can get away with paying a guy a bag of rice and a chicken each week, instead of the living standard wage they owe to the people who helped build their success.
I am a businessman. I have run several businesses including window cleaning services, self-defence gyms, sports event promotions, and used car sales. When major employers move their operations to Asia or Eastern Europe in search of lower wage costs, they dump hundreds of thousands of decent, hard working men and women on the dole. They also damage my business, because those unemployed no longer have the extra cash to send their kids to my gym, or buy my car.
Greed is self defeating. An economy only thrives when those who spend their wages each week, have money to spend. It does not thrive on the money the rich salt away in foreign tax havens. I don’t believe in the forceful redistribution of wealth. It should be done by setting a decent minimum wage, so nobody needs welfare. That way big-business profits are not subsidised by my taxes.
Good post Don and the six article link that you attached really opened my eyes. That brings me back to one of your older articles (Rosemary’s baby). This truly makes one think that Obama is the Rosemary Child. Seems all the people and pieces were put in place to put Obama in office. May the sleeping church open her eyes and see what is before her!! Keep up the good work Don, GLORY!!!
Nathan,
That was an Halloween article. I would not take the Rosemary’s baby stuff too seriously. At that time I suggested his real Father was Malcolm X however now I would say his father really was Frank Marshall Davis. Obama was brought up with Communists, associated with Communists and has been proving all his life that he is a Communist. So, why would anyone expect anything other than communism from him. This stuff would be known if there was not a cover up by the media and both parties. If you notice the Republicans will not touch this issue and it is not because they do not know.
Phil,
It is absurd to think that Jesus or the early church practiced collectivism. You fail to understand the history of the early Church. At that time many coming from other places stayed in Jerusalem after their conversion to learn from the apostles. They had no means of support so other Christians freely gave to the apostles so that there would be no need.
This free will sharing was directed by the Holy Spirit in order to establish a base core of believers that could learn the foundational truths from the Apostles and then go out to the world. Not long after this was recorded persecution drove these believers out into the world and there was no longer any reason for this free will collectivism. Nothing similar has ever been suggested since, other than free will offerings to aid the poor. God did not change, there was no collectivism in the Old Testament. The same God of the Old Covenant is the God of the New covenant and He makes it clear that not everyone will be equal in this age or even in the Kingdom age to come.
It is also absurd to try to compare the Kingdom age when Satan is bound and all people have the knowledge of God to what we have on earth today.
Obviously love motivates people to give to the poor but state enforced collectivism is not free will giving it is nothing but state sponsored robbery and it breeds hate. Jesus was not establishing collectivism at all, so it was not Roman society that ended the early sharing.
Having said that, I do not support, and the Bible does not support predatory Capitalism either. If governments should do anything, it should be breaking up all these huge corporations because they have way too much power over people’s lives. I think governments should use antitrust laws and tax law to make it difficult for huge corporations to exist. Instead, Government should use tax law to benefit the development of small business and employee and share owner cooperatives.
The point of this article is not which system is superior anyway, it is pointing out that Fascism or state run socialism is where the elite are talking this world.
I really am tired of Phil’s diversions and long comments that give his “superior christian insights” and off beat views about my articles. So, I am going to be much more discriminating before I post any of Phil’s further comments. Nothing personal.
Don, I have a question about some things I’ve heard about…what do u think about the government buying 1.6 billion rounds of ammo? Are they preparing for something before the election? I’m very curious and what should I do to prepare if so
Hi Donovan,
I hardly think they are preparing for anything before the election. Those billions of bullets now being bid on, will be made and delivered over a few years.
I personally think they are preparing for an economic collapse and the riots this will bring. Anyone with a brain knows that this is inevitable. Terrorism is also a real threat if we went at it with Iran. Also, because of these threats I believe that they are planning to greatly increase the number of Federal enforcers.
If they do increase the federal agents, the firearm training alone will take up a large share of those bullets. Let’s say they have 100,000 armed agents under the various agencies under Homeland Security. That would give each agent about 1600 bullets for firearms training for the next five years. That is about 300 bullets a year per officer. That does not seem unusually high for firearms training. However, the 100,000 armed federal officers is probably about five times what we have now. That should be a concern.
Don,
You used the term collectivism, I didn’t, I said I wouldn’t use any man-made ideology. I see the christian business model in the instruction to do unto others… And you are the first person I have come across that calls themselves a conservative yet supports the idea of employee and share owner cooperatives. Most conservatives I know would call that commie talk.
What do you want? Everyone to agree with every word you say, or debate?
Phil,
What I want is commentators that are not contrary to everything that I post. If you think you know everything and have to correct everything I write go start your own blog. I do not know how many times I need to tell people that this is not a debate forum.
I write articles, and as a courtesy, and to get some feed back, I allow you to express comments. My hope is that others will shed additional information on the topic. If you want to debate go elsewhere.
Anything further about what I want or do not want on my blog will not be posted. I have been into this with you more than once on other topics and it quite annoying.
You live in Britain and you think you know what conservatives in America believe. You obviously do not, or you mix up things because you Brits put different terms on the same words.
I don’t know any conservatives here that are against employee or share owner owned cooperatives. I get my electric from a coop and so do most others in this very conservative part of America. Where there are coops there is also very cheap electricity compared to the for prophet businesses. I could say the same things about credit unions verses private banks.
Obviously many conservatives in America think that coops are truly conservative practices. Conservationism is not about capitalism or big business, it is about conserving the Law. In Christianity it is conserving the moral Law of God and in our Republic it is conserving the Constitutional Law that is supposed to govern our land. Conversely, liberalism is all about progressing mankind to believe in something new.
Ok so you think they are preparing for what could happen in a few years? l was just.wondering cuz It had me concerned as if It was about to happen this month. I agree war with Iran would not be good.
President Obama’s life could be compared to a strange twist to the movie Truman staring Tom Hanks.I am not saying he is innocent or ignorant of what they are using him to accomplish.He is being told what to do by the real president Valerie Jarrett.I believe you are absolutely right,Mr Obama is Frank’s son,he looks like him.Just some thoughts.
les,
Yeah, the two woman in his life totally control him. He better not ever attempt to step out of line because they know all his dark secrets.
I forget to add, what about all the coffins fema is storing? What’s that all about?
Donovan,
Do you have any real proof that these burial vaults are actually owned by FEMA? About one million people are buried each year in the United States. Since most cemeteries use these plastic burial vaults as a liner before they put in the much more expensive coffin they have to be shipped and stored somewhere.
its too bad that FEMA is not really buying coffins because my friend makes pine boxes for $500 and he has few buyers. It is my own opinion that there are not nearly enough coffins in America for what is coming and if FEMA gets involved in burying the dead they will just dig mass graves or burn the bodies. Do you really think FEMA is going into the undertaking business?
The bottom line is that there are a lot of crazy people out there making money selling people these crazy conspiracy claims. The world is bad enough without also buying into what these loons sell. If People used just a little common sense, they would not be repeating nonsense like mindless robots on the far right side.
Don,
When I referred Obama to Rosemary’s baby I wasn’t meaning to say that he is the antichrist, I’m not one who believes that he is. I was pointing out the similarities of the way he was brought up, with all of he communist’s grooming his beliefs. Then you have all the big money communist’s who have invested so much money into grooming him for the presidency. Obama is truly trying o change America into a socialistic society where the government runs every aspect of the individual’s life. His policy’s show his true colors, he ran on hope and change and all we have received is despair and divisiveness. There very well could be another civil war in our nation if he’s re-elected from how he has everybody divided by playing class warfare. But of course, if he does not get re-elected we will be dealing with a whole other set of issues. Race riots is one of them not to mention a war with Iran that may turn into WWIII if in fact it hasn’t already started. What say you?
Nathan,
I totally agree.
Hi Don,
I was doing a little catch up reading on here before my next client. I can relate to what you must deal with on here. Are you coming to this blog to learn? Or argue? When clients come to my agency, if it is about arguing their point, I send them on to the next treatment center. Not that I know everything, but being contrary is not productive. The comments about the early Christians buying into Roman ideology is misplaced. The true church has never compromised. By that, I mean the true body of Christ. But to compare what the Apostles and early Christians did through the leading of the Holy Spirit to a modern era political philosophy is trying to use man’s wisdom to understand the leadings of God.
I appreciate your blog. While I don’t necessarily agree with everything you say, I find it a very productive use of my time reading your thoughts and ideas.
Just a few thoughts… Thanks for your work… Now I have some teenagers that need some attention… Duty calls..
Rod in Oregon
Thanks Rod,
I don’t envy your job and probably would not agree with all your nice modern methods either. I am from the old school. With some kids I think a belt is worth a thousand words.
Almost seriously, I don’t even agree with everything I say. I have written a few posts just to get reaction from readers and to see if they are able to dispute my conjecture from scripture. Then there was that one time a few years ago that I actually missed the boat :wink:. One cannot address so many different topics and be more than 99.57 correct. Just ask Rush.
Even so, if one is going to present a thesis he should be able to defend it even if it is wrong. If one can’t there will be no doctorate coming, unless it comes from The Home School of Self Importance, like the PHD that I received. đ
Meanwhile, the police in Detroit are handing out flyers to Baseball playoff fans warning them about the violence in the city.
I could tell you stories during the time I worked in DC. That was back in the 80’s. Not only scary and unnerving, but extremely disappointing.
The spirit of the Lord would never promote all this hatred, and yet Obama has the audacity to say that “God is in control”; Unbelivable. Everybody knows who’s side they’re on. Let’s face it, if Obama were a Christain, he would have a much different job to do and his “works” in any role or vocation would be vastly different than the ones that are clearly known.
As for Obama possibly calling on the Lord to be truly saved — well, I could only see that if he were “flat on his back with only one place to look, which would be up”; Just my opinion on that one.
At this point, I’m thinking long term food storage and my own numbers of bullets. As for collectivism, I’m already looking to “share with my [elderly] neighbors”; As for the country, God is in control and the prognosis is a “non-mention”;
Thanks for the shoulder / vent release. Take care.
I got news for you all, Chitroit ain’t far behind Detroit as far as not enough Police Officers or the “safety ” of the Windy city(windy from all the blowhard politicians here. I have a bad habit(depending on your perspective) of using movies as allegories , but tell me Detroit isn’t turning EXACTLY into what whoever wrote Robocop invisioned. All we need is the hardware and to see if Peter Weller is up to doing Robocop 4…The End of Everything!
Thanks for bringing some clarity to my questions Don, that’s why I wanted to get your opinion. I happened to tune into Alex Jones yesterday and he was talking about that. I read a few articles too after.I heard
Thanks Don,
I walk a fine line in my work when it comes to using the truth of Christ in a way that doesnt get me the attention of the State of Oregon. As for this discussion thread… I enjoyed it. I liked the part about “being obsessed over the details, when were not going to be here anyway”. LOL…
Don,
I quote from your comment policy:
“I will allow opposing positions, but my silence does not mean that I have any agreement with what you said.”
Unless you are setting special unwritten rules for me, I have not broken any.
I don’t go out of my way to disagree with you. In fact, I don’t comment on the majority of your articles because I do agree. But this over simplistic view of socialism = bad, conservatism = good, that is the common view of most American christian bloggers, is ‘in my opinion’ blinding Christians to the true nature of the beast.
The most dangerous aspect of which is the idolatry that is promoted along with that ‘good conservatism’ in the disguise of christian patriotism, that gives blank cheque approval to the beasts use of our military to build his empire. Its all part and parcel of the same Satanic con that has been pulled on the church. And it has, in the case of my country’s past, put our military against Israel. So I am particularly concerned about it.
And that if you recall, was were we originally fell out!
Phil,
Did you hear any silence from me on your position? I could have swore that I disputed some of what you said, and now you’re arguing. I don’t need specific rules even though you are breaking my commenting rules right now. I allow reasonable opposing views, but If your attitude generally becomes contrary on this blog, all of your comments are just going to go directly into the trash file. You’re very close to that point.
I do not think us American conservative blog writers need you Brits to correct our thinking on socialism. Socialism is evil.. This covetous control freak ideology of forced wealth redistribution has caused the death of hundreds of millions of people and taken away the liberty and property of billions of people on earth. Even you Brits are enslaved to state socialism whether you know it or not. Your medical system right now is killing thousands in the name of socialized medicine and I will not even get into abortion. The socialist brainwashing in Britain and the consequences is evident to any astute conservative American and we do not want it here.
I also gave you the real definition of conservatism. I do not wrap my Christianity in the American flag but no national constitution allowed more Christian or individual liberty than the American.
I do not know what you are talking about when you say, “the Beast’s use of your military”. The US is not the Beast, and the Beast has not yet arose in Europe either.
Hello Don,
In response to this discussion, you are absolutely correct. Socialism is, at it’s core, evil. It is an evil ideology for several reasons. For starters, it is a man created system of wealth redistribution through which the government retains control and decides who the have, and have nots are. Consider the evidence.. There were factories in socialist/communist controlled nations that created such items as “thick steel slabs” that are totally unusable.. All to provide jobs. Productivity is low in socialized nations… And the poor remain poor. There are no examples of socialist nations that retain any religious freedom, or any other freedom for that matter. What we see now is NOT Churchill’s Britain. We see a Britain that is resulting in social breakdown.
As for socialized medicine… Seriously? Give me a break. Thats why leaders from socialized medicine nations come to the U.S. for their healthcare. You get a gravitation toward the mean of competence… And the least qualified doctors will be working in the medical field. That is not opinion, it is fact.
Now… Why is that? Because socialism is about human control of individual and corporate decisions. That is the problem that has existed since the garden of Eden. Man’s desire to be God! To play God! To make decisions as if they are God!.
This is not to say that capitalism is all good and Godly. Not at all. But the system of capitalism, and our constitutional republic allows for freedoms that avoid this trap much more successfully than socialism. Under our system, Christians have the freedom to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, which is not the case under socialism…
As for the beast? Seriously? The American system of government is the least useful system for the beast to come out of anyway. It will not be from the U.S.
Just a few morning thoughts… đ
Rod in Oregon
I said the beast’s use of ‘our’ military, no intention of singling out yours. By which I mean the spirit of Antichrist that is working through our governments, banks, industry and military to create the beast empire. Don’t you think that is what is happening right now?
NATO just wiped out Gadafi and Co, because he wanted to get out of the one world currency of the petro-dollar. I doubt they would have bothered him if he had only wanted to sell camels in gold dinars.
And I agree with your views on socialism and like your views on cooperatives, of which our NHS is one. Don’t believe the private sector propaganda. They just want to get their hands on the best health system in the world đ
Phil the Beast system is not the same as the spirit of antichrist working through governments etc. God also works through governments, banks, industry, and the military for His own purposes on earth. Try living without them. There is no Beast empire being set up right now. Although the final form of the EU probably will become that Beast empire, that is not likely until the Antichrist is on the scene.
What you said about Gadafi and co. Has no foundation in facts, it is just part of your overall twisted conspiracy theory. The dollar or petro-dollar is not the financial system of the Beast. Let’s keep in mind that it was the Far Left that started this Arab Spring thing first in Egypt and that spread to Libya and now spread to Syria and elsewhere. This is the socialist Islam axis leading toward world socialism, it is not coming from private sector conservatives.
Seems you love and trust the propaganda of the government public sector and distrust people trying to better themselves in the private sector for some reason. I think you have everything twisted and are brainwashed. Anyone that thinks Britain has the best health system in the world has to have lost their mind.
By the way, the British National Health System is not a coop. Those paying in have no control over what they get out. It is all controlled by unelected bureaucrats that become government Nannies.
I think I have had enough of your hybrid left wing Alex Jones type bull. Go away, you are annoying.
Don,
I have been reading comments on a lot of pro-Obama Facebook posts. A lot of those posts are saying that they are going to riot if “Barry” doesn’t get re-elected. That falls in line with my last post I wrote on here. I fully believe that if Obama loses he will be playing the race card and his cronies will be crying that the election was fabricated. I can see the election going to Romney in a nail bitter with major rioting breaking out and a recount going to Obama just to stamp down the chaos. What better way for a communist to retain power. After Obama’s victory he will be seen as a so called savior for stepping in to end the violence which would give him a clear path to set in place his BIG government socialistic policy’s with his new found “flexibility” without having to worry about his next re-election. Of course all of this is just conjecture, but could very well be reality. What say you?
Nathan,
That is a long shot assuming that the election is actually that close that the election could be disputed. What is more likely assuming that Romney wins is that the brainwashed on the government plantations buy into the race baiting hype that Obama was not reelected because he was black and riot against white people. Or they riot every time the Republicans in charge try to change any part of socialist give away system and wealth redistribution programs that Obama and Demoncrates set up.
I would agree with Don… If riots do happen, it will be “if” entitlements are cut back. Which I seriously doubt will happen in any real serious sense. If Romney makes cuts, they will be minimal based on his past track record.

doesn’t alex jones tell the truth on his sites? i mean he is obviously against these elites that have enslaved us, whats so wrong about him?
Don,
Regarding Nathan’s “Nail Biter” comment. I haven’t been reading left-wing blogs but I hear it being openly discussed. Many on the left would like to see a very close election that can be litigated in the courts. (Lawyers are already waiting in the wings of both camps).After all, they have spent years stacking the judiciary. It’s an effective way to steal elections and has worked for them before, i.e. Al Franken. There is so much corruption in the electoral process anyway. How any thinking individual can put his faith in electronic black box voting (touch screen or optical scanner) is beyond me. I have lost faith in the integrity of the process but I’ve not lost faith in the Lord my God. Even the evil schemes of the godless He will work out for his ultimate glory regardless of who wins.
Jake,
The real question is why would you even think that a site like Info.Wars tells you the truth? There is some truth on the site of course but it certainly is not all true. These people see everything through the lens of their own version of the NWO conspiracy theory but they offer little evidence to support much of what they claim. Some of what they report about the elites is true but the conjectures they come up with often are not.
For example, on the issue I talked about yesterday. Where is the proof that FEMA obtained a half million plastic coffins? They make a conjecture because they do not check out the facts and then they use that conjecture to make new conjectures about FEMA’s need for these burial vaults. They do this quite often to keep the paranoid entertained.
Where are all the Chinese and Russians and UN troops that they said would be taking over America for so many years now?
This stuff is moronic. Russia can hardly hold itself together these days with half the Russian men being drunk and dying young. The Russians are not coming here to police America. And China has no desire to invade except with salesmen to sell their manufacturing products. It is a long swim anyway.
What is wrong about Jones? I don’t know, you need to ask his head shrink. Does he really believe this stuff or is it all about making a living selling fear to paranoid people or is Jones himself a plant for misinformation? I have read that. That does not mean it is true.
What I have to wonder is why people on the left or the right will just believe anything because they see or hear it on the Internet. Seems nobody can critically think for themselves anymore and most are too lazy to do any research. The countless times people ask me something that they can find out for themselves by just doing a Google search makes all that quite evident.
Anna,
If it comes down to recounts in a couple of states it could get really nasty.
Hello Don,
Well, as for Alex Jones… Paranoia and fear sell! There is big money in apocalyptic fear. As PT Barnum said, there is a sucker born every minute, and people buy his stuff in mass quantities. Why would FEMA buys coffins? If they actually did… Why wouldnt they? If there was a serious catastrophe, they need to bury people fast to stop the spread of disease. Where is the conspiracy? Fear sells… As for Russia… The alcoholism rate is around 80% among the male population.. They have a very high death rate due to alcoholism… And China is making to much money off of us to invade… Critical thinking has not been taught in schools for a very long time…

yea he does seem to be a psycho at times, i also stopped listening to gerald flurry and his site because to him everything seems to be about herbert armstrong, i wouldnt be surprised if he worships him as his god. thnx for the info.
There is socialism (communism without the gun) and there is capitalism (which in my lifetime has escalated into the anti Biblical form of fiscal imperialism), and then there is conservatism.
My take on conservatism is that it is above politics and a social necessity. It is neither left or right but has individual freedom as its core aim.
The use of the word conservative has deteriorated in the same manner as has the word fundamentalist and it has been a deliberate disparagement on the part of those who are on the far left.
I am a Bible believing Christian who is both a fundamentalist and a conservative.
I like that Brian… đ Fundamentalist conservative!

Don. Your last post said – “Phil the Beast system is not the same as the spirit of antichrist working through governments etc. God also works through governments, banks, industry, and the military for His own purposes on earth. Try living without them. *There is no Beast empire being set up right now.* Although the final form of the EU probably will become that Beast empire, that is not likely until the Antichrist is on the scene.”
Your article September 8th.
“The Far Left elite with there utopian humanistic religion is not going away if “Romney is elected. This humanistic philosophy or worldview has infiltrated all levels of most nations. *They are doing the work of Satan and they will eventually join up with his Antichrist and he will become the god of their world system.* Once that happens they will try to stop the Kingdom of God from coming through the Jews and the return of Jesus, and you know the rest of the story. The outcome of this election is simply not going to change the *antichrist agenda in this satanic world system*.”

The last time I rattled that idolatrous patriotic effigy you keep on your high place, you attacked my views on the Seed of the Serpent by trying to tar me with the Harold Camping brush. Eighteen months later you were singing from my hym sheet
This time you’re trying the same tactic, using the Alex Jones foil hat mob, whilst forgetting what you wrote only last month. I wouldn’t bother my backside making this reply if it wasn’t for the fact that your bitchy efforts to attack me results in lies being spread amongst the body of Christ.
Eat your humble pie now, or choke on it later. Your choice!
Phil,
I do not at all see see what you think you see, but that should not surprise me, because you are always distorting what I say among your other distortions of the truth here.
There is a difference between the satanic world system that we live in and where it eventually leads and the end time Beast system. We are not yet living in the timing of the Beast like you imply. The satanic world system in not now the Beast. Learn what the Bible says about the end time Beast and you might not get so confused.
The Serpent Seed Doctrine that you suggest is heresy, if anyone really wants to find out why, just do a Google search on that term. I am sure there are many articles written by astute biblical Christians that fully explain why it is heresy. If I tar you with the heresy bush like Harold Camping, it is because the views that you express here often are heretical, as are his.
Believe, me I am not singing from your hymn sheet now. I have consistently opposed your aberrant views and I still do.
There is a different between what I am saying and what Alex Jones and his tin foil hat followers are saying. I see that the satanic world system all leads to antichrist agenda and Satan uses the world elite toward that end. On the other hand, Alex Jones distorts the facts for a satanic agenda of his own. He cannot discern between good and evil in government so he makes up lies and half lies. His fight is not only misdirected, it is totally carnal. In his message he offers no spiritual repentance or solution. His solution would lead to many dead people and then if his kind actually won his carnal war you would be living in a worse kind of tyranny of satanically inspired anarchy.
Our enemy is not elite of the world, it is satanic spiritual forces that find it convenient to use the rich and the powerful to bring about Satan’s antichrist agenda. Alex Joins teaches warfare often against established God given authorities without the facts and his message breeds hate. So he himself is just another spoke in the satanic agenda to get people to take up carnal weapons against teach other and bring the world toward destruction.
By the way, with your personal attacks on me you broke a rule in my commenting policy that I simply will not put up with on this blog. You seem to think I am attacking you when I am really attacking your distortions of the truth, but it should not surprise me that people like you are paranoid and have delusions of grandeur. You are now banned from posting on my blog at all..
we have alot of people now who die, go spend a little time with jesus and come back to life. A short time later they are all over shows and next thing you know they got books coming out. Its unreal that they use jesus and the afterlife to make profit. The parents even use their kids to go on shows and convince the masses that they saw heaven and jesus for the sake of profit. pathetic.
Yeah Jake,
I talked about this in one of my monthly perspectives. What I said is quoted below.
A lady did this in a bible study I attended. She stood up to “give her testimony.” She said she died on the operating table and Jesus sent her back.
What does one say?
Great article Don.
I can see the world elite would become so desperate in their “plans and back-up plans” to gain total control, that they would do this with great pain through a unified religion. But we know that this is part of our God’s administration, to get all falsehood under one banner and have it destroyed by the ten rulers. Then an angel will fly through heaven and proclaim that Babylon the Great has fallen. And another follows to warn people on earth not to take the mark of the beast.
These rulers then would only have one more card to play, and that is to give their authority to the beast who destroys the 2 witnesses and gain global respect.
All this could happen in 20 years.
i just watched “how the earth made men” 2012 documentary, and i was in disbelief what these people are saying. They said we came from asteroid bacteria billions of years ago and all the big bang nonsense. wow and they are trying to figure out what came before the big bang totally taking god out of the picture. These people claim to have phd’s but they are dumber than a rock. This is proof that satan has control of the tv industry.
Thank you, Don, for banning Phil. For the life of me, I could not make much sense out of his distorted, convoluted garbage. I simply skipped over his comments because of so many ?????? He was not only irritating to you, but also to many of us. You abided him longer than I would have.
JerryB,
Thanks for the confirmation. He is still annoying me through emails. I suppose he will now say I put you up to this
Hello Don, I’m with Jerry… I don’t mind discussion… But vain arguments are something I don’t have time for. It’s your blog.. You set the rules.. If someone cannot follow the rules.. Well… If you can’t follow the rules… You don’t get to play…. Isn’t this taught in kindergarten?
Anyway, I’m looking forward to your next article.
Rod in Oregon
I’m going to also have to agree with Jerry and Rod. His rants and conjectures were getting very tiresome. You did the right thing Don.
Hello Don,
I support your decision to ban Phil. I would understand it was not a decision you would take lightly. It appears that Phil just likes to engage in long winded arguments over ”nit picked” details, and then waste your time with counter arguments.
Please continue your excellent work here. You have my full support and Prayers.
