The Bilderbergers

Who are the Bilderbergers? They are a shadowy group of global elites consisting of powerful bankers, international politicians, media moguls, celebrities, scientists and educators.

What's their goal? To establish a one-world government that will have absolute control over every nation and person on earth.

And why are they seeking a global government? Because they believe that the world will never be a peaceful place until all its nations are brought under the authority of a single governing body.

Though the Bilderbergers eschew publicity like a vampire avoids the sunrise, David Rockefeller, one of its founding members, said this several years ago: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

Various group members claim that the Bilderbergers merely meet on an annual basis to discuss international events and have no impact whatsoever on world affairs. If that's true, then why do they hold closed meetings and refuse to allow the public to attend?

Because they do more than merely meet on an annual basis to discuss international affairs. Rather, they plan international affairs by utilizing their vast influence, power and wealth to fund activist organizations that will help them impose their agenda on the world.

And what is that agenda? The creation of a new world order that will eventually consist of 10 nation groups ruled by 10 powerful leaders who will answer to a supreme global ruler. And this new world order will eventually feature a new monetary system that will be fully electronic and do away with credit cards, coins, checks and paper money.

Author and researcher Dan Estulin, who's followed the Bilderbergers for many years, wrote a book about the group and it's titled: The True Story of the Bilderberg Group. 

Published in 2005, the book reveals the shadowy group's agenda that includes: (1) A one world government along with a centralized bank; (2) a New World Order with no middle class; only rulers and servants (serfs), and no democracy; (3) a "zero-growth society" without prosperity or progress, only greater wealth and power for the rulers; (4) manufactured crises and perpetual wars and (5) imposing a universal legal system and a global welfare state where obedient slaves will be rewarded and non-conformists targeted for extermination.

How does the group plan to execute a world government? By draining the wealth from prosperous nations such as the United States and transferring it to an institution such as the United Nations. But how? Through phony crises such as Global-Warming-Climate Change that claim the earth is in very serious danger unless carbon emissions are curtailed and soon.

Why do the Bilderbergers and their affiliates such as the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome and the Council on Foreign Relations believe they can get away with this? Because few people know, believe or even care about what they're up to.

And those who do are labeled nuts and conspiracy freaks by the group's media servants that dispense Bilderberger propaganda. Certainly, no one wants to be labeled as a nut who embraces conspiracies. And so, they look the other way.

Bilderberg member and Former CBS News President Richard Salant said this: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."  

And Bilderberg researcher Stephen Lendman says this: "CBS and other media giants control everything we see, hear and read - through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, films, and large portions of the Internet. Their top officials and some journalists attend Bilderberg meetings - on condition they report nothing."

Far from an anachronism, the Bilderbergers are unwittingly fulfilling biblical prophecy that reveals the rise of a powerful and violent world government in the end times preceding the return of Jesus Christ.

The prophet Daniel, who lived 2,600 years ago, recorded this allegorical vision of the last of four world empires that would rise in the last days. Here's what he wrote: "After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns." (Daniel 7:7)

And the apostle John who lived about six centuries after Daniel, received a similar vision from God concerning this tyrannical world government. Here's what he wrote: "And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name." (Revelation 13:1)

We are indeed headed for a world government. Sadly, even many professing Christians think that's a good idea. But any world government not ruled by the King of Kings Jesus Christ is going to be a disaster. And the coming one will be a monumental disaster.

As Christ said concerning this coming time:  ^"When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (Luke 21:28) Indeed, the time is very near.

Environmentalism's True Agenda

Victims of the Holocaust

What happens when human beings either reject God or choose to follow the edicts of false gods that are demons in masquerade? Extremely bad things usually happen.

For those who are old enough to remember the Holocaust, they retain the horrific memories of Adolf Hitler's mass murdering machine that featured death camps, ovens and gas chambers. Six million Jews and four million others perished as a result of the Fuhrer's satanic worldview.

Though Hitler was often described as a Christian, he was in fact an atheist. Yes, he was baptized as an infant into the Roman Catholic Church, but he rejected God as he grew older and embraced a combination of eastern mysticism and humanism as his worldview.

Some folks will point to the fact that Hitler often invoked God and Jesus Christ in his speeches when he campaigned for Germany's chancellery in 1933. 

But Hitler used God and Christ to con the Germans into believing that he was a Christian. Don't forget that in 1933, Germany's population was predominantly Lutheran and Roman Catholic. Had Hitler revealed his true worldview, he never would've been elected.

In fact, Hitler did reveal his worldview in 1925 when he published Mein Kampf, which was a rambling, paranoid manifesto that spelled out his hatred of the Jews and other groups that he wanted to eliminate from the world. Tragically, few people bothered to investigate Hitler's past and one of the most tragic periods in human history resulted.

There's a common thread between Adolf Hitler and the radical environmentalists who hysterically claim that life on planet earth is threatened with extinction unless we curb carbon emissions. As the Fuhrer used Christianity to con his way into the Bundestag, the environmentalists are using carbon emissions or "greenhouse gases" to con millions of people across the world to embrace their agenda.

And what is their real agenda? It's the creation of a totalitarian one-world government and the elimination of millions--if not billions--of people in the name of environmental stewardship. 

Global elites such as media mogul Ted Turner, former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev and Dave Foreman, the founder of the radical environmental group Earth First! have all called for a global population of between 100-500 million people in order to save the planet and protect the environment.

Here's what Gorbachev had to say regarding the earth's population: "We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90 percent and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage."

http://www.infowars.com/from-7-billion-people-to-500-million-people

And here's what Foreman says: "My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with its full complement of species, returning throughout the world."

And finally, here's what Turner desires for the global population: "A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95 percent decline from present levels, would be ideal."

What do Gorbachev, Foreman and Turner all have in common? They're members of the Bilderbergers, a shadowy and secretive group of international elites consisting of wealthy bankers, politicians, media honchos, scientists, celebrities and educators who seek to establish a world government. And so, when these men speak about global population numbers, they're not speaking for themselves.

And they're working in conjunction with other groups such as the United Nations, Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Round Table to achieve that goal.

Why do they seek a world government? Because a global government would possess the absolute power to enforce its agenda. And that agenda includes the elimination of multitudes of people.

And reducing the earth's population from seven billion to perhaps 500 million won't be accomplished through abortion, sterilization, euthanasia or "healthcare rationing." It will be accomplished by mass murder. 

The elites believe that too many human beings are living on the planet. They believe that burdens the world's ecosystem and results in excessive carbon emissions. Every time a person exhales, they exhale carbon dioxide. Therefore, the elites believe that fewer human beings will result in lower carbon emissions. 

Therefore, the true agenda behind Global Warming-Climate Change is the creation of a global government that would have the authority to radically reduce the earth's population. And since that sounds like a conspiracy theory, few people choose to believe it. But it's true.

Nearly 2,600 years ago, the prophet Daniel received an allegorical vision of four world empires depicted as beasts that would rise and fall before the return of Jesus Christ. The last empire that Daniel witnessed was the dreaded world government that will indeed become a global killing machine. Here's how Daniel described that kingdom: "After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast--terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left." (Daniel 7:7)

And so, when you listen to the hysterical rhetoric of environmentalists who scream that the world is doomed unless we cut carbon emissions, understand what they're really talking about. It's about cutting the earth's population rather than greenhouse gases.

Sham on You

Certainly, Barack Obama is the face of a godless and morally depraved generation that's too dumb and apathetic to care about anything other than where the next beer or orgasm is coming from.

If it wasn't for the stupid people--those who are too ignorant and lazy to vet their political candidates, and those who embrace political propaganda over hard evidence, then we wouldn't have been cursed with Obama for the past six years.

If that seems a bit harsh, then so be it. Until Obama tragically occupied the White House, the previous residents of the Oval Office at least acted as though they considered the nation of Israel a close friend and valuable ally.

But not Obama. He's been extremely hostile to the Jewish nation, exhibiting the type of hubris toward Israel that's been glaringly absent in his dealings with fascist regimes such as Iran and North Korea.

In fact, Obama and his legion of fools such as Secretary of State John Kerry have practically prostrated themselves before the Iranian Mullahs in their efforts to appease the Islamic regime. As a result, the Iranian economy is thriving once again and the Mullahs are just a few steps away from building nukes and being able to deliver them to distant locations.

One of those locations is Israel and the Mullahs have made no secret of their desire to blow the "Zionist Entity" off of the map. The folks at HarperCollins have already gone ahead and printed maps of the Middle East without the Entity, anticipating the Mullahs will make good on their promise to turn the Jewish nation into an ashtray.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/02/harpercollins-omits-israel-from-maps-for-mideast-schools

Israel is the lone democracy in the Middle East. And it's surrounded by oppressive and fascist Islamic regimes that are among the worst human rights abusers on the planet. And yet the Obama Administration ignores that while threatening Israel.

And so, it wasn't a big surprise when Obama and his loyal mouthpieces reacted angrily after they discovered that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an invitation without their consent to speak to the Congress in March at the behest of Republican House Speaker John Boehner.

According to one of Obama's unnamed lackeys; "He spat in our face publicly, and that’s no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price." 
http://nypost.com/2015/01/24

Really? Isn't it truly bold of someone to talk tough like that and then refuse to reveal their identity? But that's the M.O. of the wretches who are employed by the Obama Administration. They're very adept at threatening others and then using the dubious "anonymous spokesperson" routine to conceal their names.

Here's some advice for Mr. or Ms. Tough Talk who's too cowardly to attach his or her name to those bold remarks. And this comes from God who warned the world a long time ago that those who mess with the Jewish nation will pay a very heavy price: "I will bless those who bless you (Israel), and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:3)

Go ahead then and threaten Israel. You'll be the one to pay a price. And you will pay a very heavy price indeed. And if you don't repent, then just wait and see what's ahead for you and the United States of America.

The Obama Administration is a sham operation deserving of contempt. But the people who are truly deserving of contempt are the ones who made Barack Obama possible.

So, go ahead and have another beer while you lounge around in your s**t-stained underwear, watching ESPN. Last call is coming. And it's coming sooner than you think.

The Deadliest Sin

A lady of the night

I'm occasionally asked what I consider to be the deadliest of sins. While most folks believe that murder, rape, assault and robbery are among the worst, there's one sin that's usually overlooked. And that's sexual immorality.

To be sure, all sin is evil and it has separated us from God. But indeed, there are certain sins that are extremely evil and they can bring very serious consequences to those who commit them.

How do we define sexual immorality? Sexual immorality is any sort of sexual activity outside of marriage. That includes adultery, incest, fornication, prostitution and deviant sex such as pedophilia, bestiality and homosexuality. 

Most folks define an adulterer as a person who's unfaithful to his or her spouse. But Jesus Christ emphatically stated that a person who gains a divorce and remarries for any reason other than an unfaithful spouse is guilty of adultery.

Here's what Christ said: "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." (Matthew 19:9)

Concerning sexual immorality, the apostle Paul warned that sexual sin brings impurity, unholiness and curses upon those who willingly participate in it. Here's what he said: "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

Paul warned the early church that those who are sexually immoral will not inherit eternal life, no matter how often they attend church or how frequently they acknowledge Christ as their Lord. 

To the early church at Ephesus, Paul issued this caveat: "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them." (Ephesians 5:3-7)

Sexual immorality not only brings the potential for STD's (sexually transmitted diseases) but it defiles a person's soul. And since God created our bodies for His Holy Spirit to dwell in, sexual sin becomes the ultimate form of sacrilege. 

Why? Because marriage illustrates God's covenant with human beings through His Son Jesus Christ. Those who are born again into eternal life by faith in Christ's death on the cross for their sins and His resurrection from the dead become members of God's true church that scripture refers to as the Bride of Christ. (Revelation 19:7-8)

Those who violate their marriage vows are synonymous with those who profess to be Christians and yet worship false gods.

The scriptures reveal that no unholy or immoral person will ever be allowed into heaven. And if they aren't allowed into heaven, then there's only one other place they dwell in eternity. And I think you know what that place is.

Certainly, we live in a culture saturated with sex. And human beings are sexual beings. Thus, a culture contaminated with debauchery, combined with the sexual nature of human beings is a very volatile combination indeed.

That's why we all need to set our "minds on things above, not on earthly things." (Colossians 3:2) That means heavenly things that please God rather than earthly things that encourage our sinful nature.

And for those who've committed sexual sin? It's time to repent. And now. I can't tell you how many folks I've encountered in life who experienced some form of misfortune or disaster. I discovered that many of them had something in common; they were living in sexual sin.

And so, the time for repentance from sexual immorality is right here and right now. Don't wait because you never know how much time you have left.

Reincarnation or Resurrection?

The Wheel of Karma

You'd be shocked at how many professing Christians actually believe in reincarnation. What is reincarnation? It's the pagan religious belief that the spirits of human beings can occupy several bodies during countless lifetimes.

Hinduism teaches that human souls can even be reincarnated into insects, birds and animals. For what purpose? To allegedly atone for transgressions committed in previous lifetimes.

Although reincarnation is commonly associated with pagan eastern religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism, it's also taught in monotheistic religions such as Judaism. The rabbis believe that God sends departed souls back to new bodies in order to get right what they got wrong in previous lives.

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a Talmudic scholar and Sephardic rabbi who died in 2013, claimed that the Jews who perished in the Holocaust actually brought that on themselves. He stated that they were reincarnated in order to be punished for sins committed in past lives.

Here's what he said in a sermon he preached during the summer of 2000: "The six million Holocaust victims were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things which should not be done. They had been reincarnated in order to atone."

http://www.timesofisrael.com/5-of-ovadia-yosefs-most-controversial-quotations  

Though many people condemned Yosef for his outrageous comments, he merely repeated a concept that Orthodox Judaism has taught for centuries. Though reincarnation can't be found anywhere in either of the Bible's testaments, the Orthodox Jews embrace it as divine truth. And it isn't--it's a demonic lie.

Reincarnation contradicts the Bible's mandate that innocent blood must be shed in order to atone for sin: "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22)

If sin can be dealt with via reincarnation, then the whole sacrificial system for sin instituted by God through Moses was a complete farce and done in vain. The purpose of that system was to provide atonement for sins committed in this life only. Concerning the one and only life we are given, the Bible says that "people are destined to die once and then to face judgment..." (Hebrews 9:27)

If people are destined to die once and then face judgment, then they don't get a second chance. That's why Jesus Christ came into this world in the form of a humble man so he could provide the ultimate sacrifice for sin "once for all" (Hebrews 9:26) on the cross that the blood of animals never could provide. 

Those who reject Christ die in their sins and are cast into hell where they will be confined until Christ returns to judge them. 

Rather than reincarnation, the Bible teaches resurrection. If reincarnation is true, then resurrection makes no sense because who would the dead be raised as if they were incarnated multiple times? 

Concerning the resurrection, of which Christ was first to be raised, the apostle Paul said this: "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he 'has put everything under his feet.' Now when it says that 'everything' has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all." (1 Corinthians 15:20-28)

There's absolute evidence for resurrection. That evidence is Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and was seen by over 500 eyewitnesses before He returned to heaven. Not all of those witnesses were His followers. And yet they attested to His resurrection.

But there's no evidence for reincarnation. That's a lie. Those who stubbornly reject the truth and embrace reincarnation are going to be shocked when they reach eternity. They won't be coming back. And if they meet up with Rabbi Yosef down under, he'll undoubtedly concur.

Islam's Dreamweavers

Barack Obama and Kareem Abdul Jabbar

After the recent terror attacks in France that took the lives of 17 people, Islam's apologists inevitably came out and went into damage control.

We were told yet again that the attacks at the Charlie Hebdo offices and at a kosher supermarket in Paris were committed by "radicals" or "takfiris" who have perverted Islam and besmirched its honorable name. 

According to the apologists, these radicals are synonymous with members of the Ku Klux Klan who identify themselves as Christians and promote violence against blacks and Jews in the name of Jesus Christ.

That was the reasoning used by basketball legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar in a recent article he wrote for Time Magazine. President Barack Obama stuck with his usual excuse that those who commit violence in the name of Islam are just a few isolated nuts and radicals. If they are, then they do have a way of getting around.

The radical line has been used over and over again by western pundits--even by some high profile conservatives such as Ben Shapiro--who actually believe that the western world has the resources and resolve to defeat "radical" Islam.

What exactly is radical Islam? Has anyone ever heard the term radical Christianity? Radical Islam is a politically correct term invented by cowards and pansies who are either ignorant of Islam's violent theology or are too afraid to acknowledge it for fear of being persecuted.

There is no such thing as radical Islam. Those who commit mayhem and murder in the name of Islam and Allah are fundamentalists, not radicals.

Radicals are rebels and revolutionaries who follow fascist ideologies in order to impose totalitarian systems of government ruled by despots. And while that indeed sounds like Islam, it isn't because Islam--while totalitarian in nature--promotes violence against unbelievers via the Koran.

Here's how Jabbar attempts to separate Islam from the jihadists who commit violence in Allah's name: Knowing that these terrorist attacks are not about religion, we have to reach a point where we stop bringing Islam into these discussions. I know we aren’t there yet because much of the Western population doesn’t understand the Islamic religion. All they see are brutal beheadings, kidnappings of young girls, bloody massacres of children at schools, and these random shootings. Naturally, they are frightened when they hear the word Muslim or see someone in traditional Muslim clothing. Despite any charitable impulses, they also have to be thinking, “Better safe than sorry”—as they hurry in the opposite direction.  
http://time.com/3662152/kareem-abdul-jabbar-paris-charlie-hebdo

Jabbar is counting on the ignorance of westerners to believe him when he claims that Islam is really a religion of peace. But it isn't. Although the majority of Koranic verses are nonviolent, there are over 100 that are. And those are the verses that encourage Muslims to commit murder and mayhem against those who reject Islam.

Here are some examples: Quran (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way." 

Quran (47:3-4) - "Those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord... So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)... If it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost."  

Quran (33:60-62) - "If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while.  Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter." 

Those verses are contained in the Koran. That's the book that Jabbar follows. And while he and millions of Muslims across the world surely don't embrace those verses, they're there. And no one can deny that.

And I have a message for those imbeciles who invariably send me emails that condemn Christianity by using the Crusades and Inquisitions as the moral equivalence of Islamic terrorism: Read the Bible's New Testament and see if you can find even a single verse where Christ or His apostles encouraged Christians to use violence to spread Christianity. You won't find any.

Therefore, the Crusades, Inquisitions and the atrocities committed by the Klan were done in opposition to what Christ taught. Christ said this: "For all who draw the sword will die by the sword." (Matthew 26:52)

And He said this: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9) 

Islam's dreamweavers can spin their religion as a peaceful faith all they want. But it isn't. And unless those war verses are erased from the Koran, it never will be. 

Islam and the End Times

Will this prevail in the future?

Periodically, it becomes necessary to review what biblical prophecy reveals concerning religion on earth during the end times preceding the return of Jesus Christ.

The Bible reveals that neither Islam nor any other pagan religion will prevail in the last days before Christ returns. While some folks will take issue with my description of Islam as a pagan religion, Islam's roots can be traced to the pagan religions of ancient Arabia.

In fact, prior to Islam, Allah was known as "al-ilah," the moon god of the Quraish tribe that Muhammad belonged to.

What does the Bible tell us about religion on earth in the last days? It reveals that a counterfeit form of Christianity is going to rise in conjunction with a world government. And this global religion is going to spread rapidly via counterfeit signs, wonders and miracles.

Here's what the apostle Paul revealed concerning the coming global religion: "The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit signs, wonders and miracles, and in every sort of wickedness that deceives those who are perishing." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

Paul revealed that this great wave of miraculous signs and wonders will begin occurring just before the advent of the Antichrist. But how does that prove that the coming one-world religion is going to be a Christian counterfeit?

By what Jesus Christ revealed concerning the last days. Here's the caveat He issued to His followers: "At that time, if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time." (Matthew 24:23-25)

Christ revealed that the counterfeits will come in His name rather than in the names of the founders of world religions. These counterfeits will be followed by the Antichrist who will be the greatest counterfeit of them all, who'll deceive the entire world with his supernatural powers.

Islam isn't a religion of the supernatural. Unlike early Christianity that spread via miracles in the 1st century, Islam has historically used violence to advance and maintain itself. And that's how Islam is attempting to perpetuate itself throughout the world today.

But the world is growing weary of Islam and its violent theology. Rising eastern nations such as China, India, Russia and South Korea don't want Islam. And as these nations continue to expand their influence throughout the world, they'll do away with Islam and force its adherents to flee and find refuge in the west.

That's why the western world has been increasingly under attack from Islamists in recent years. Because Muslims are being pushed out of the east by a growing number of nations that want nothing to do with Islam.

Western nations such as France, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Holland, England and Germany are finally realizing that Islam is a violent religion that cannot be reconciled with or assimilated into western culture.

And certainly, while the vast majority of the world's Islamic population is peaceful, Islam will always promote violence because the Koran contains over 100 verses that encourage Muslims to conquer the world by the sword.

That's why the world will never surrender to Islam. Most people abhor violence and want nothing to do with Islam's violent nature. That's why Islam's days on earth are numbered.

However, most people will respond to miracles, even if they're demonically inspired. Miracles have a way of converting even the most hardened skeptics. And the father of all counterfeit revivals is coming that will feature incredible miracles.

But that counterfeit will lead to the greatest fraud the world will ever see--the Antichrist. He will claim to be Jesus Christ and his followers will believe that he's the real deal.

And so, if this fraud claims to be Christ, then his followers will believe themselves to be Christians. Therefore, the future belongs not to Islam, but rather to Christianity.

Unfortunately it will be a false Christianity that will lead millions into hell.

Islam and Taqiyya

Hassan Nasrallah

Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General and spiritual leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah, demonstrated the art of Taqiyya recently when he presented a passionate speech that was intended to convince ignorant dhimmis that Islam is all about peace and not about violence.

What is Taqiyya? It's an Arabic term for obfuscation, or hiding one's true intentions behind a pile of verbal baloney. Nasrallah sliced the baloney nice and thick when he claimed that the terrorists who murdered 17 people in France recently weren't genuine Muslims.

Here's what Nasrallah said: "The behavior of the takfiri groups that claim to follow Islam have distorted Islam, the Koran and the Muslim nation more than Islam’s enemies ... who insulted the prophet in films... or drew cartoons of the prophet."

http://rt.com/news/221343-hezbollah-nasrallah

According to Islam, a "takfiri" is a phony Muslim who violates all the tenets of the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad. Nasrallah, who offered his remarks during a televised speech to honor the birthday of Muhammad, added that "takfiris are the biggest threat to Islam, as a religion and as a message."

While Nasrallah's baloney special works best on folks who don't know anything about Islam--such as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean--it doesn't work with those who know Islam. Islam isn't about peace and has never been about peace. Those who persecute and murder in the name of Muhammad, do so in obedience to Islam's prophet rather than in defiance of him.

Nasrallah wants the world to view him as a man of peace who avoids violence like a vampire avoids the sunrise. But Nasrallah is anything but a man of peace. He's a man of violence who has frequently called for the mass murder of Jews and the annihilation of Israel.

Here's what he said concerning the Jewish nation back in November, 2014 when he sounded more like the Parisian terrorists who he recently condemned: "You (Israel) should close all of your airports and your ports, because there is no place... on the land of occupied Palestine that the resistance’s rockets cannot reach."

http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Nasrallah-to-Israel

And in 2002, Nasrallah, the man of peace, made this remark concerning the Jews: "If they all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." In a 2005 televised speech to his supporters, he said this: "How can death become joyous? How can death become happiness? How can the foul taste of death become sweeter than honey? Only through conviction, ideology and faith, through belief and devotion."

http://www.camera.org/index.

That's what Nasrallah is really all about. He's a man of violence and war. And he exploits the ignorance of non-Muslims to convince them that Islam is really a religion of peace that's been hijacked by apostates or takfiris. 

If Nasrallah happens to appear at a venue near you, then please to ask him about the takfiri thing. If the Parisian terrorists, like all the others in the last 50 years who committed violence in the name of Islam were takfiris, then what motivated them? Poverty? Unemployment? Mental Illness? Social alienation? 

Or, could they have been inspired by writings such as this one? Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."  

Or, how about this one? Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

Or, this one? Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Those writings can be found in the Koran. That's the Islamic holy book that Nasrallah claims preaches peace, tolerance and humility towards all men. 

And that's the same book that those Parisian terrorists dutifully read before they snuffed out 17 lives. So, Hassan, who's the real takfiri? The Muslim who pursues peace? Or violence?

March Madness

Parisians rally against terrorism

If you live in Chicago as I do, then you're familiar with street violence. Heavily-armed street gangs have controlled many of Chicago's streets for decades, and they've supplied the local cemeteries with countless victims of their endless narco wars.

Every so often, one of the victims turns out to be an innocent bystander such as a young child or an honors student who was on his or her way to finding a better life via a prestigious college or university when they were erased in the crossfire.

Invariably, when the victim turns out to be that young child or academic high-achiever, there's outrage. And typically, the outrage comes from the usual cast of characters such as the sanctimonious politicians, community activists and blowhard clergymen who are attracted to cameras like bugs are attracted to streetlights. 

Then there are those inevitable marches down the blood-soaked streets. The goose-stepping politicians, clergy clowns and activists are followed by the "protesters" waving their prefabricated signs that call for an end to the violence and of course, tougher gun laws. 

Recently, an estimated three million people turned out in the streets of Paris to protest the murders that took place at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices and at a kosher supermarket. The murders were committed by Islamists who were merely being obedient to Islam's prophet Muhammad by murdering Jews and infidels.

Marches and rallies are akin to taking the proverbial bath or shower with a raincoat on. You can stand under the water for hours, but it's prevented from doing what it's supposed to do in washing away the dirt. 

You can protest as much as you want in the streets against gun violence, narco-gangs or Islamofascism, but all that does is make you feel good about yourself. It doesn't wash away the moral and spiritual dirt that contaminates the culture and it has absolutely no impact on those who need to be cleansed the most. 

Certainly not the violent thugs who return to the streets to resume the carnage once the protesters and TV crews are gone. And certainly not to the soldiers of Allah who continue to look for new victims once the Gendarmes are gone. 

The way to change a culture is from the bottom up through the gospel of Jesus Christ rather than from the top down. When the culture is changed from the bottom up, people change because they become aware that they're morally accountable to a holy God and they act accordingly. They don't have to be forced to behave because they'll instinctively do that on their own.

But when a culture is changed from the top down, then people are forced to follow the edicts of a tyrannical government that enforces its laws at the point of a gun. That's called a police state and if you're not familiar with how that works, there are still millions of folks around who lived under the iron fist of Soviet communism who can tell you how that worked.  

Changing a culture from the bottom up is extremely difficult. It requires folks who are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with those who have never heard it. It requires making Christianity relevant once again to a cynical world that views religion as irrelevant and obsolete. 

And it requires distinguishing the faith from all the false religions of the world--including Islam--that poison minds and foment evil. Nearly 2,000 years ago, the apostle Jude urged the early church to "contend for the faith" (Jude 1:3) because the church's enemy Satan works tirelessly to pervert and destroy the faith. 

Had Christendom not stopped contending for the faith about 150 years ago, Islamofascism wouldn't be raging across much of the world. 

The apostle Paul said it best in his epistle to the early church in Ephesus: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)

Satan and his fallen angels are the spiritual puppeteers who inspire Islam and all false religions. They encourage destruction and murder in the name of the gods of these false religions. Christ revealed that Satan is "a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)

The way to destroy lies is by utilizing the sword of God's spirit (Ephesians 6:17) that is God's word contained in the bible. That requires patience, dedication and hard work. 

But in the end, that pays dividends in a changed society that lives peacefully and values life. And that's something that candlelight vigils and kumbaya street marches will never accomplish.

Radical Islam? Or Fundamental Islam?

Is this radical Islam?

Inevitably, after the recent massacre in France that was perpetrated by Islamists, the "voices of reason" appealed yet again for an Islamic reformation, not unlike the Protestant Reformation that occurred five centuries earlier.

The Protestant Reformation began when a Roman Catholic Monk named Martin Luther realized the falsity of the Catholic gospel and began preaching the biblical version. Luther recognized that his church had become corrupt because it had strayed far from the bible.

While the Catholic Church condemned Luther for his audacity, millions of her followers didn't, and they followed him out the door. Without Luther, Christianity would look very different today. And not for the better.

But an Islamic reformation? That's impossible. Those who wage jihad in the name of Islam haven't strayed from the Koran. Rather, by murdering and mutilating "infidels", they're being obedient to its teachings.

And so, in order for Islam to be reformed, its holy book would have to be rewritten. Specifically, how? The Koran's war verses that motivate Muslims to wage war against unbelievers would have to be erased.

Thus, consider the irony. The Protestant Reformation challenged Christians to start reading the bible while an Islamic reformation would implore Muslims to stop reading the Koran until Islam's "reformers" could publish a new and improved edition that eliminates the mandate for bloodshed and violence.

And that will never happen. Why? Because Muslims--and sadly many Christians--actually believe that the Koran is divinely inspired. They're convinced that God commanded Muslims to kill those who reject Islam. As such, many Muslims will persecute and slaughter those who either deface a Koran or openly criticize the Islamic holy book.

Therefore, there will never be an Islamic reformation. And unless the world gathers the courage to do away with this nemesis, Islam will eventually conquer the world by the sword.

Islam spreads the fastest where weakness prevails. And much of the western world has become morally weak and spiritually bankrupt, unwilling to defend its own values or freedoms.

However, a growing number of Islamic immigrants who have come to the west have no qualms about dying for their values. And they have no problem killing those who refuse to embrace Islamic values.

Western elites who control such institutions as the media, education, politics and the entertainment industry have chosen appeasement and its corollary propaganda to pacify Muslims and reassure westerners that Islam is really a religion of peace that's been hijacked by a "few" radicals.

That was President Obama's rhetoric after the recent Charlie Hebdo massacre. And former Democratic Party head Howard Dean, who knows absolutely nothing about Christianity, injected his own ignorant opinion after the Hebdo attack: "I stopped calling these people Muslim terrorists. They're about as Muslim as I am. I mean, they have no respect for anybody else's life, that's not what the Koran says. And, you know Europe has an enormous radical problem. ... I think ISIS is a cult. Not an Islamic cult. I think it's a cult."
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/01/08/howard-dean-paris-attackers

Dean has never read the Koran or the Hadith. Because if he did, he'd come across verses such as this one that motivate Muslims to wage jihad: Bukhari 1:35  "The person who participates in (Holy Battles) in Allah’s cause and nothing compels him do so except belief in Allah and His Apostle, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty ( if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise ( if he is killed)." 

Here's another example: Muslim (20:4696) - "The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: 'One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite.'"

And here's one more: Muslim (1:30) - "The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah."

Yes Howard, the Koran and the Hadith command all Muslims to spread Islam by the sword, and to kill those who resist. That's what motivates these people to do what they do rather than poverty, unemployment or "mental illness."

These folks aren't radicals; they're fundamentalists. They take the Koran literally. There's no such thing as radical Islam. That's a term invented by western pansies such as Howard Dean who are in denial of Islam's true, violent nature.

And unless the western world wakes up from its politically correct coma, it's going to be conquered by Islam. The east has already awoken and is working to rid itself of this violent religion.
http://www.prophecyreviewonline.org/Prophetic-Outlook

Russia, China and India, who are the three biggest powers in the rising eastern world are determined to do away with Islam. In Russia, Czar Putin has declared that Islam has no future in his nation. And when Russia begins to spread her influence throughout Europe, Islam will be forced to find sanctuary in the west.

And when the Bear gets to the west? That's the end of Islam--radical, fundamental, cultural and otherwise.

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton

Someone--rather boldly--once tried to convince me that the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had much in common.  Indeed, they did, but not in the ways that most of us would recognize.

Certainly, both are African-Americans, although I believe that Dr. King would probably eschew the hyphenated designation and emphasize the American part. And certainly, like Dr. King, Jackson probably stands up in the men's room when he--ahem--empties his bladder. Beyond that, the comparisons end.

And rather abruptly. Dr. King was a legitimate Baptist minister who spent countless hours in church pulpits preaching the genuine gospel.

And the Rev. Jackson? He possesses one of those synthetic ordination certificates that anyone who has money can obtain. These days, you can purchase them online from various organizations that will ordain you for the cash. But back in the day, you had to fill out a form, send in the money order and wait for the envelope to arrive.

Rumor has it that when a young Jesse Jackson arrived in Chicago from the south in the early 1960s, he asked then Mayor Richard J. Daley for a job. Being a generous and considerate man, the mayor offered Jackson a position collecting coins in a Tri-State tollbooth.

Jackson declined and decided that by posing as a man of the cloth, he could earn a lot more money than by sitting in a tollbooth for eight hours a day in the middle of an expressway.

Indeed, the synthetic reverend has not only collected the big coin for nearly five decades from his grateful and gullible flock, but he's applied the race card effectively in intimidating various businesses into enhancing his family's good fortune.

Two of Jackson's sons, Jonathon and Yusef, obtained a Budweiser distributorship several years ago after Jackson leaned on Anheuser-Busch for being too white. Whether Jackson offers communion with Bud-Light instead of the liquid of the vine isn't known.

However, what is known is that Jackson isn't a legitimate servant of Jesus Christ. Nor has he ever been. And neither are other assorted clergy poseurs such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Rev. Al Sharpton who masquerade as representatives of Jesus Christ.

Wright was Barack Obama's pastor and race mentor for many years when the 44th president hung his hat in Chicago. Sharpton currently serves as Obama's race mentor, having visited the White House on numerous occasions to school the president in the art of racial politics. But it's highly doubtful that Sharpton's conducting bible studies with the president during his visits.

For those who truly believe that men such as Jackson, Sharpton and Wright are legitimate church leaders, then pick up a bible and compare what Christ taught with what these men teach. Christ said this: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God." (Matthew 5:9) 

And here's what Wright said: The (U.S.) government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing "God Bless America". No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America, as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent.

And here's what Sharpton said: White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2011/11/25

Finally, here's something else that Christ taught concerning those who claim to be God's ambassadors on earth: "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." (Matthew 7:15-16)

However, you can only spot a wolf in sheep's clothing if you recognize what's coming out of the sheep's mouth. Those who can, stop listening. Those who can't become like sheep destined for the slaughter.

The Post-Christian America

Is this America's future?

Though many folks still consider the United States to be the most Christian nation on earth, America is about as Christian these days as Saudi Arabia is Hindu.

Oh sure. There are still thousands of churches across America. And several do an admirable job of preaching the biblical gospel and bringing souls into Christ's kingdom. But not nearly enough.

However, there are too many churches located in America's inner cities that share their turf with alcoholics, drug addicts, pimps, prostitutes and violent, heavily armed gangbangers. 

Many--but not all--of these churches are led by ministers who've sold out Christ for the impotent social gospel that seeks to attain salvation via Big Government and its assortment of sugar daddy entitlements.

Not surprisingly, absent the biblical gospel and its corollary of moral accountability to a Holy God, crime, violence, poverty and moral decadence prevail in those areas where the social gospel is preached. 

Where is the most crime? In America's inner cities. Where is the most moral depravity? In America's inner cities. Where are the most abortion clinics? In America's inner cities. You don't have to be an astrophysicist to see the correlation here. Rather, all you have to do is look.

And when you look at many of the churches that occupy some of America's leafy suburbs, you find the same moral decrepitude. I know a man who attends one of those big suburban mega-churches and finds his happiness down at Disney World in Orlando where he frolics with Mickey and Goofy during his vacation time.

I don't know whether Jesus would take his disciples down to Florida to party with Mickey and Goofy if they were sojourning in America today. More likely, they'd stop at a few diners and maybe peruse some book stores, but they'd stay out of the places where too many of America's soft and heavily compromised Christians spend too much time in.

As they say, people are like mirrors--they reflect who they admire and what they follow. It follows that if you follow costumed-cartoon characters who wander around overpriced amusement parks, you'll eventually begin to sound and even look like them.

Thus, if too many of today's American Christians sound and act like cartoon characters, or even clowns, that's because they're a reflection of whoever they're prostrating themselves before. 

It stands to reason, then, that if you're prostrating yourself before Christ, then you'll act and sound like Christ. The apostle Paul said it best: "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." (Ephesians 5:1-2)

But how many Christians practice or even believe what Paul wrote 2,000 years ago? Or, how many Christians have even read that verse? Not many. 

However, don't worry. Where America's churches have checked out of, Islam checks in. Whether Islam is the fastest growing religion in America is debatable. 

But what's not debatable is the fact that Christianity in America is heading toward the exit. Since the early 1950s, America has lost over 25 million Christians and closed over 8,000 churches. And in the early 50s, America's population was less than half of what it is today. So America now has fewer churches and fewer Christians with more than twice the population.

That's not a recipe for survival. If the trend continues, Christianity in America will eventually resemble Christianity in Europe today--empty churches that serve as white elephant monuments to what Christianity once was.

And some of those vacant churches will become mosques just as some of those ornate synagogues that flourished in the first half of the previous century have now become mosques. And so, as the strong overtake the weak, they also impose their belief systems on the weak.

Is Christianity finished in America? A long as what remains of American Christendom continues its attempt to survive via the ballot box instead of changing the culture by fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:16-20), then America becomes Europe sooner rather than later.

If that happens then your Disney World experience may be a bit different with Snow White trudging about in a burqa and her seven dwarfs reciting the Shahada. Have a party and dance to that. 

Resurrection and Renewal

Ellen Katz: 1919-1928

I don't visit cemeteries very often for obvious reasons. They're depressing places and they remind us of our mortality. And, as you can see from the photo above, when headstones have pictures attached to them, they offer a personal dimension.

I've been looking at that headstone since I was a child. The young girl pictured on the stone is buried near a family plot and she's hard to ignore. She was obviously a very beautiful child and she died way too young.

And of course, it's only natural to wonder what happened to her. At that young age, she probably succumbed to a catastrophic disease such as cancer. Or, she may have been killed in an accident. But then again, only God knows what happened to her.

When many folks see the tombstones of young children such as the one above, they're inclined to ask why God allows these things to happen. The loss of a young child turns many parents bitter and resentful toward God. It causes some people to question whether God even exists. And certainly, that's an understandable reaction.

In fact, some folks believe that Charles Darwin took out his revenge against God by writing his atheistic thesis: On the Origin of Species after the death of his young daughter Annie. Darwin's book eliminated God by attempting to explain the existence of physical life from a purely naturalistic perspective.

Whether the death of his daughter motivated the lapsed theologian and amateur scientist to write his book is debatable. But what isn't debatable is the fact that Darwin changed the course of human history with that terrible book.

The rise in crime, violence and moral decadence throughout the western world since Darwin's book was first published in 1859 provides a testimony to what happens when people no longer believe in God and spurn His laws. And it was the apostle Paul who prophesied that the last days on earth preceding the return of Jesus Christ would see terrible times. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

And so, why indeed does God allow young children to die? Why does he allow pedophiles to rape and brutalize children; Islamic head-hackers to murder them under the banner of "honor killings", and why does he allow them to be born into destitute households where apathetic and irresponsible parents either ignore or persecute them? Why?

Those aren't easy questions to answer. But there's an answer. And that answer naturally upsets some people. What's the answer?

In commandment two of the Ten Commandments, the Lord said this: "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." (Exodus 20:4-6)

Tragically, the sins of people can have deadly consequences. Sins can bring curses (Deuteronomy 28-29) and those curses can visit children generations after those sins were committed. There's no rational or scientific explanation why curses land on some children and not on others. I found out that the girl pictured above had a sister who lived to a good old age.

Before anyone accuses me of being a pompous, self-righteous jerk, (I've been accused of that) I'll admit that I'm a sinner just like everyone else who's ever lived on this planet. And my sins condemned me and brought me an eternal death sentence.

But I've been saved by God's grace. As the apostle John wrote: "And the blood of Jesus, his (God's) Son, purifies us from all  sin." (1 John 1:7) And Christ Himself said this: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Death will claim our sinful mortal bodies at some point, as it has since the dawn of history. It will claim mine, and it will claim yours.

However, there's good news. There's going to be a resurrection. And we're all going to raised up. If you don't believe that, then consider the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." (1 Corinthians 15:20)

The resurrection of Christ is evidential and irrefutable. When a 19th century Harvard law professor and an atheist named Simon Greenleaf looked at the evidence for the resurrection of Christ, he became a believer. And he said this: "Based upon the evidence for the Resurrection, there isn't a court of law in the world that could deny it."

And the great news is that young children like the one pictured above are going to be resurrected. God loves children and he's going to raise them up and give them immortal bodies that will never die again. In fact, he showed the ancient prophet Ezekiel an incredible vision of just what the resurrection is going to look like. (Ezekiel 37)

And so, don't fret. We'll see these young people again. And it will be a time of incredible joy.
