WAR OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS MAY COME SOON

June 7, 2010

I thought it could happen last summer.  It now seems this summer may be the time.  If either the EU or Iran use military force to aid “aid” ships to Gaza, there will be war.  Bible students know what this war could mean.

Reports state that both Iran and EU reps are saying that the “flotilla” event will not happen the same way again.

Israel is saying that it will defend itself.

It appears that many are pushing the little land that God gave the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, into war.

How much verbiage is rhetoric and how much gets acted upon remains.

I have a Christian friend who knows of a believer who is living and ministering in Israel.  The ministry is called “Love Without Boarders” and was started by one lady.  She is on the ground in Israel, so I would consider this information a primary source.  It is true that she is getting her information locally so one has to view it accordingly.  The information is dated June 6th.  I have put the intro at the end because a rearrangement puts material relating to my headline at the top.

Ron Kunath is the name of my Christian friend.  His email stated:

“This is a Prayer Letter from a dear Missionary friend I worked with for many years. Check out the Gaza Flotilla Video below…God bless….RK”

Here is the Latest new “flotilla” info:

A great post by Gary Stearman of Prophecy in the News:

Christian Friends of Israel,

Beginning of Gog and Magog? – Concerning the incident this week which is

trying to give Israel bad publicity the Rabbinical Council issued an unusual

statement “We are at the beginning of Gog and Magog process where the world

is against us at first, but which ends with the third and final redemption.”

Gaza Tunnels – An estimated 1,000 tunnels are in use to smuggle various

black market goods as well as drugs and weapons. Several thousand young men

and boys are employed in the tunnels. Workers are paid $20 a day, according

to Arab media. Some tunnel operators say children are more likely than

adults to work hard even for the lower wage.

Israeli Sub deployed – Israel has allegedly deployed a permanent submarine

presence in the Persian Gulf to keep an eye on Iran, according to  media

reports published Sunday. The three German-built submarines are reportedly

equipped with nuclear cruise missiles.

Syria Supports Hizbulla – Hizbullah terrorists are running weapons to

Lebanon from secret arms depots in Syria where the terrorists have been

accorded their own living quarters, arms storage site and a fleet of trucks,

Palestinians Boycott Israel – The Israel boycott by the Palestinian

Authority took on wider dimensions when Arabs burned two Arab stores for

allegedly doing business with Jews.

Hamas Refuses Flotilla Humanitarian Aid – Hamas continues to prevent the

transfer of the humanitarian aid which has been unloaded at the Kerem Shalom

crossing. The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories

(COGAT) will continue to work closely with international bodies and the

Palestinian Authority in order to organize the transfer of the goods into

the Gaza Strip.

More Gas and Possibly Oil found in Israel – According to the Globes

financial journal, the field has been discovered to be even larger than

previously thought. The field’s estimated size has grown several times as

more surveys are conducted.  Last year  Teshuva, originally said the gas

reserves could allow Israel to be self-sufficient in energy for two decades,

but now it seems that was a conservative estimate.  “The results indicate

that in addition to the gas, there are signs of oil at a greater depth. We

have turned Israel into a great energy power. Today is a holiday for every

citizen of Israel. It’s a day of joy,”  The offshore platform will be imported from the gulf of Mexico.

Israel Update #12
Love Without Borders

Shalom!

Thanks for your prayers, the Lord answered and one of my co-workers returned
to Israel to continue helping with the work.

I met with the Ministry of Tourism this week to share some information and
thoughts so that Christians who are wanting to come to Israel can learn
more, meet the people and serve during their tour.  It was a productive
meeting and he invited me to take a desk at the Ministry of Tourism and work
from their office.  It would not be practical for me, but it was an honor to
be invited.  I will continue to work with him and others on staff so that we
can build a better understanding between Israel and Christians from abroad.

Israel is certainly a land of opportunity, but it is also a land of
opposition.  I guess that’s why we are told in 2 Timothy 2:3 You therefore
endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  We are in a battle,
wherever we are, but soldiers don’t quit in the middle of a battle.  (I
learned that from my dad who fought in both Korea and Viet Nam.) I believe
the Lord wants us to be doers of the Word, pray for one anther and continue to move forward following and serving Him.


IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER MAN COMING TO AMERICA?

May 23, 2010

…………It wouldn’t surprise me.  He has stepped down as Britain’s Prime Minister and there are murmurs that he is moving to New York.  The murmurs are unconfirmed at this point.  If they become reality, who could possibly be shocked.  I have seen it happen so many times in my short life.  It looks like a person’s political career is over and they end up in a position that you would never expect.  Diane Feinstein is the first example that comes to mind.  She couldn’t hold on to a mayor’s job and the next thing you knew she was a senator.

Besides the rumors that he is heading for New York, some folks think that he is going to be the next head of the IMF (The International Monetary Fund) .  This would be no shock either.  Presently, there are too few sources to put legs on the story.  However, here’s one of the sources:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/05/16/brown-s-heading-to-us-for-imf-role-115875-22261637

I don’t know much about the IMF, but I am learning.

Did you know that the IMF tossed in hundreds of millions of dollars to bail out the EU in the recent crisis?

This is the purpose statement taken from the IMF website:

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an organization of 186 countries (190 in 2023), working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world.”

http://www.imf.org/external/about.htm

One of the purposes of the IMF is to “reduce poverty around the world.”  Pardon me for being skeptical, particularly towards a group that is “fostering global monetary cooperation.”  How many times has it been discovered that money designated for the poor somehow ended up paying for some guy’s 10,000 square foot house?  Not enough times in my opinion.

Here’s a story about a guy building a 35, 000 square ft. mansion.  If this is going on inside the “church,” imagine what’s happening in the world.

http://truedsicernment.com/2010/05/26/duplantis-ministry-is-big-business

The reason that I call Gordon Brown “The New World Order Man” is because of the number of times he has used the term.  Gordon Brown and the IMF are a perfect fit.  They articulate the same goals.  Below is a short list of some of the statements that Mr. Brown has made in the past few years.  There is a link beneath each New World Order quote if you would like to hear it with your own ears.  Mr. Brown may have a job in New York sometime in the near future.

AMERICA IS BROKE

May 18, 2010

As I made my way down Grand Avenue a few weeks ago, another sign was up.  It read, “Retirement Sale.”  Tommy’s, a furniture and appliance store, is another local business that is calling it quits.

Yesterday, the destination was Sears.  The brakes had to be fixed.  Surprisingly, several businesses had closed on the “happenin” side of town since the last time I’d been there.  In fairness there were a few new ones.

Why mention these observations?

It doesn’t take a financial guru to know that we’re in trouble after reading this line from an online article yesterday:

The United States’ national debt will soon reach 100 percent of gross domestic product, the International Monetary Fund predicts in a new report.

(A more recent report says that Debt held by the public is projected to rise in relation to the size of the economy each year, reaching 118 percent of GDP by 2033.)

We are not that far away from facing numbers similar to Greece, a tiny country whose financial situation caused the New York Stock Exchange to plunge 1000 points recently.

Many baby-boomers are expecting soon (and for a long time)  to collect social security benefits from a system that they have paid into for years.  One can reasonably question how the money will appear.

It looks like Bible prophecy, as I understand it, may soon be fulfilled.  The scriptures tell of a time when all buying and selling are monitored.  They speak of a time of travail.

“Do not worry about your life.”  These are the words of Jesus.  The words are mentioned here because the above information could easily cause anxiety.  The Bible also says that if you don’t work you won’t eat.  Many Americans are hard working people.  There is a growing number, however, that expect others to do their work for them.  There is another group that is willing to go deep into debt to have what their friends have.

Some  schools are now providing more than breakfast and lunch to hungry youngsters.  Dinner is also a part of the school day in some school districts.

Admittedly, many parents have lost jobs and can’t provide food for their children.  A majority of Americans used to feel unwarranted shame if their hard work wasn’t enough to put food on the table.  Today, a large portion of the culture has come to expect “help.”  Many buy things they can’t afford before thinking of paying for the “free” meals their children are getting at school.

The cost of today’s cultural attitudes is our freedom.  Nothing comes without a price.  The government will feed our kids in exchange for the ability to shut the possibility of the existence of a supreme being out of our classrooms.

Why are we broke?

We have decided, in a slow and methodical manner, to remove God from the process.  If you want to see where we’ve come from, check out the following story.  It is found within another “Wings” post. 

https://chrisreimersblog.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/is-the-census-bureau-encouraging-people-to-lie-is-the-national-day-of-prayer-unconstitutional

Christian principles, practiced by those who came before us, took this nation to great heights.  Over the past 120 years or so, a growing segment of our society has decided that Christian principles are intolerant.  This view has accelerated in the last few decades.

The God who blessed this nation is someone that many don’t want to hear from anymore.

Why should anyone be surprised that we are in our situation?  We are not only broke financially.  It is much worse than that.  We are also broke spiritually, something that can only be fixed by turning back to the God that made this country great.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER COIN

May 9, 2010

Last August (2009) I received a copy of the only magazine that I currently subscribe to and the cover had a picture of The New World Order coin.  Anyone capable of minting coins can be as creative as they please.  This coin, however, is one that represents the goal of a few elites, and it received the publicity and approval of an important world leader.

The coin was minted in Belgium, and the website for the United Future World Currency, the maker of the coin, states:

“The world in a coin. This is our vision, our hope. It is a necessity and a challenge. What seems an impossible dream becomes an inevitable historic, economic and social process. It is an event which is intertwined with the fate of human evolution.

A single currency becomes the premise for an increasingly global planet. A virtual currency capable of speaking a single, comprehensible language to foster humankind’s innate desire to go farther, to surpass boundaries, and move towards true principles of peace, freedom, brotherhood and understanding beyond issues of race, political and religious beliefs and party interests.”

HERE IS A RELATED ARTICLE and

here is a picture from the coin maker’s website, complete with caption:

Who was the world leader publicizing the coin?  If you didn’t see the headlines last July, they read:

Medvedev Shows Off Sample Coin of New ‘World Currency’ at G-8

July 10 (Bloomberg) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev illustrated his call for a supranational currency to replace the dollar by pulling from his pocket a sample coin of a “united future world currency.”

“Here it is,” Medvedev told reporters today in L’Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. “You can see it and touch it.”

I never thought I would hear a Russian leader say such words.  And they didn’t seem to bother the other world leaders meeting at the G-8 summit either.

There are many who are not aware of this story.  Last week, Mr. Medvedev made a few comments about the New World Order in an interview.  His comments were not nearly as telling as the statement he made last July.

Part of the reason I’m posting this story now was the bump that the stock market felt last week.  It seems that a trillion dollars was lost on paper in just a few minutes.   The following financial report makes it appear that everything is fine, that all is under control.  However, it notes that changes must be made.

THE REPORT

The report says something that is not only being articulated in financial circles these days.  Remarks like these are being made in political and religious meetings.

“After such a traumatic shock to the global economic and financial systems, it is unlikely the world will return to its pre-crisis state. The failures and their fixes have altered the landscape. Thus, traditional methods of analysis may need to be modified.

By viewing economies through a different prism, investors can define ‘a new world order.'”

Ten years ago, I never thought I would hear words like these in my lifetime.  I know that President Bush Sr. mentioned the term “New World Order” several times, but few at the time took the man seriously.

I don’t know how soon there will be a one world “currency,” but the Bible tells of a time where there will be a method whereby all buying and selling will be monitored.  A Russian leader holding up a coin that indicates a willingness to join with all nations economically; it’s almost unbelievable, but it fits well with Bible prophecy.

This is where I may lose those of you who are still reading this, but I’ll take that chance.

There was a Hebrew prophet named Daniel who had a dream before 500 B.C.  It’s recorded in the Old Testament book of Daniel in chapter 7.  The dream was about a lion, a bear, and a leopard.  There are many different views of the meaning of this dream.

Many would say that relating things in a dream that’s 2500 years old to events occurring in our time is, simply, egotistical.  Because of where we are in time, we naturally have an egocentric view of things.  In this case, however, there are valid reasons to link the dream with current events.

I think that the bear in the dream represents the Russia of the modern era. I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but I think it is the best view of many given by Bible scholars.  Dr. Henry Morris, Gary Stearman, and J. R. Church are a few who think that this is a good possibility.

You can see why the above stories intrigue me.  Together with other Bible prophecies that point to a one world government, things happening in our time are fascinating.

So much for my opinion.  Write a comment and share yours.

If you want to see a short video from the folks who published the article it is no longer available and the Youtube account associated with it has been terminated along with the website of “United Future World Currency.”(Updated May/2020) It seems people with resources can create and destroy things like this in little time. I have scant doubt something akin to a one world currency will be back.

If you’d like to know more about Daniel chapter 7 (the view I currently think is the best), click here:

Christian Media on the “Last Days”

The leopard of Daniel 7?  Is it Germany?  Germany is the wealthiest power in the Eurozone and is consolidating power after “giving” a large sum to “help” others with their problems.  These two short reports are very enlightening:

GIVING GOVERNMENT TOO MUCH CONTROL – A CARTOON MAKER KNEW THE COST IN 1948

April 30, 2010

Thanks for the submission J.B.

“What can a cartoon produced in 1948 teach us today???”

This question came with the e-mail that I received.  Our Constitution is only as good as our understanding of it.  The big blue hand at the end of the cartoon is what we’ll be facing if we don’t get together and decide that nothing comes without a cost. -CR
