Update: This video will remain on this page, unless/until the slaughter of Christians in Syria and Iraq stops! We owe it to the dead, especially those killed in this manner, to display the truth about the beasts that have slaughtered them!
The following video has been shown before, but I am compelled to run it again because people throughout the world need to know what is happening to Christians in Syria, Iraq and in various other places throughout the Middle East. Our propagandized media is not releasing this information! The Word of God tells us that God’s people will be beheaded for their faith during the tribulation (Revelation 20:4), and Jesus said concerning the last days, “There shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever shall be” Matthew 24:21. That hour is upon us, folks!
Are you ready to face God?

Hit hard by Obamacare? It would be well worth your while to compare plans and rates among these Christian healthcare cooperatives. They are inexpensive and meet the federal mandates of the new healthcare law:

Christian Healthcare Ministries (www.CHMinistries.org)

Samaritan Ministries (www.SamaritanMinistries.org)

Medi-Share (www.Medi-Share.org)

This administration is pressing hard against the American people to protest and riot, but don’t fall for it!

Archie Comic Issue Shows Archie Kissing Gay Boy!

August 8, 2013


The United Nations wasn’t kidding when they announced a campaign to promote gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender acceptance throughout the world.

As reported a week ago, the United States Supreme Court also struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and dismissed the Proposition 8 case, which was filed to challenge the California Supreme Court's decision to strike down the law protecting marriage.

Almost simultaneously, Archbishop Desmond Tutu stood before crowds in Cape Cod and announced he would rather go to hell than a homophobic heaven.

Only three days later, the Pope also publicly stated, “Who am I to judge a gay person of goodwill who seeks the Lord?” Apparently, the Pope has either fogotten what God said about such sins, or he simply doesn’t care. Frankly, I think he is too intelligent to forget, so…Actually, I almost forgot. The Pope holds himself out to be God in the flesh and the Vatican has issued catechism stating he, the Pope, overrules the Word of God.

Today, Archie Comics made headlines, as the latest issue shows Archie kissing his boyfriend, "Kevin Keller," lauded to be the first "gay character in the Archie universe."

Parents, if you have young children who read comic books, this is directed at your children – to blatantly pervert them – if they haven’t already been perverted in their "sex education" class at school (I would call it X-rated homosexual filth).

Planned Parenthood’s homosexual assault on the minds of your school children was actually started some time ago. If you haven’t looked into what your children are being taught in the "sex education" classes of public schools, I suggest you make haste and look into it. Furthermore, I strongly recommend that you take your children out of the public school system, before it’s too late!

For more information, please read the Home Education page of this website, if you haven't already. Even if it is something you are absolutely not able to consider at this time, please read the page anyway for suggestions and helpful information. *Prayer changes things!

The Word of God tells us,

“For this cause (their rejection of truth), God gave them up unto vile affections, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error (judgement for their sin), which was meet (just)” Romans 1:26-27.

“Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind” 1 Corinthians 6:9.

The Word of God makes it very clear, how God feels about perverted sexual sins. The liberal globalists can promote these abominations all they like, as one of their objectives to reduce the world’s population, but God will judge them.

One of the indicators that God’s judgment will come upon the earth very soon is for this reason: world leaders are promoting homosexuality. Jesus said,

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded, but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all, even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is reavealed” Luke 17:28-30.

The Bible tells us that when the Lord returns, the world will be as it was in the “days of Lot.” Lot was living in “Sodom.” I think we all know where the word sodomy comes from – from that city, Sodom, whose sins are reflected in the very name of the city.

I would say the world is in the same condition as Sodom and the world’s population as the Sodomites, according to current headlines.

Are you saved, friend? Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. Your eternal destiny depends on it. Time is short and eternity lasts a long time. God bless you.

Data Centers in US Double Since 2011

July 29, 2013
Updated 7/29/2013

Yesterday, I came across this headline on the DrudgeReport.com, whose link transferred me to Brietbart.com. Brietbart.com is the website named after a prolific investigative journalist, who said he would release a very incriminating video about Barack Obama on March 1, 2012, which would “change the course of the election.” Andrew Brietbart was killed during the early morning hours of March 1, 2012, just after midnight, the very day he said he would release the video. There is controversy over his cause of death, with reports he died of “natural causes,” then later a heart attack; but ironically the coroner who released the autopsy results on Brietbart, was killed by arsenic poisoning the day the results were released. Possibly the coroner knew something that someone wanted to make certain he did not divulge at a later date? Of course, government officials would try to have you believe Brietbart died of “natural causes.” Brietbart, by the way, was only 43 years old.

The Spirit of the Lord impressed upon me two days ago that one of the reasons this administration spends so much money is because of the enormous amounts spent on spying and collecting data.

Then yesterday, I came across the article on Brietbart.com, which is still run by others. The headline read, “Data centers in US double since 2011.”

Well, yes, it does take a lot of data centers, many of which are fusion centers, and employees to spy on the US population of more than 307 million, and store the data.

The article goes on to say, “The federal government estimated it has nearly doubled the data/fusion centers it had in 2011, now totaling over 7,000. Actually, there are 7,145 to be exact, as of July 26, 2013.

How interesting. The US economy is crashing, the National Security Agency spying and data/fusion centers are increasing exponentially and FEMA camps are popping up throughout the nation, ready to be populated. Where do you suppose all of this leads us?

I came across another headline while reading the DrudgeReport.com: 4 Out of 5 Adults Face Near Poverty, Unemployment – Signs of Decline in the US

The Associated Press published an article about how their statistics show that four out of five adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty, or reliance on welfare for at least part of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security.

Survey data exclusive to the Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized US economy, the widening gap between rich and poor and loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend.

The report went on to say that economic insecurity among whites also is more pervasive than is shown in government data, engulfing more than 76 percent of white adults by the time they turn 60. More than 19 million whites fall below the poverty line of $23,021 for a family of four, accounting for more than 41 percent of the nation’s destitute, nearly double the number of poor blacks.

AP reported that by 2030, according to the current trend, close to 85 percent of all working-age adults in the US would experience bouts of economic insecurity.

It seems the Bilderbergers are making obvious gains in their plans to bring Americans down to the economic level of other countries, and they must have already determined that Obama is doing a very good job, a good reason to have awarded him with a second term. The Bilderbergers meet with presidential candidates prior to the “elections,” you know.

With poverty becoming more prevalent in the US and more people relying on government welfare programs (which was also responsible for the destruction of Rome, by the way), their expectations are that this economic scene will help crush the Constitution right out of the hearts of US citizens. After all, they expect people will do anything for food, right?

Getting back to the data centers and spying; according to the plan, not only must the puppets of the elite bankers (the heirs and cohorts of the same ones who brought about Black Tuesday on Wall Street – the Great Depression) bring down the economy and weaken the nation, but the resisters to the upcoming Socialist-Marxist government must be identified, thus the need for more spying, more data centers and most likely more FEMA camps.

Black lists are being developed more rapidly as the days go by. I can tell you by personal experience that those targeted are also experiencing some, if not all, of the following problems:

  • Internet censorship.
  • Internet connectivity problems and interruptions.
  • Email hacking and malicious emails sent from your email address to your friends, family and/or associates.
  • Mail theft and probes - your mail being held up for extended periods of time (~30 days) and packages arriving crushed and with holes in them throughout.
  • Microbug spying - remote controlled bugs, which literally look like bugs flying nearby, or even attempting to penetrate your body with an RFID chip (they look and feel like very small hard glass cylinders, but dissolve completely if dropped into water – except for the wings).

These things have all happened to me personally. There are other things, which I am unable to relate in this report, for reasons I am also unable to publicize. It may seem very surreal, but I assure you that I am stating absolute truth. These things have happened to me and I actually have a hard time believing it myself, to be quite honest.

* I am updating this report with a scripture I read during my study yesterday, which often the Lord gives me (pertinent scriptures which correlate with the day's topic), but I forgot to include it previously. Regarding the RFID microbug: 

"Curse not the king, no not in your thought, and curse not the rich in your bedchamber, for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which has wings shall tell the matter" Ecclesiastes 10:20.

Obviously, King Solomon was referring to talebearers in his day, although the scripture frequently alludes to prophecy concerning the future. Could he have also been referring to the RFID microbug technology described in this report? I believe the Spirit bears witness to me, this is true.

The Department of Homeland Security keeps a “blacklist” of citizens you might also find very hard to believe. These are among those considered to be a risk to national security:

  • American veterans having served in the Middle East.
  • Constitutionalists.
  • Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority.”
  • Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty.” 
  • Americans who believe their way of life is under attack.
  • Americans who are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation).”
  • People who consider themselves “anti-global” (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty).
  • People who believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national security and/or personal liberty.
  • Christians who believe in the return of the Lord and the battle of Armageddon.
  • Members of the Tea Party.
  • People opposed to abortion.
  • US citizens against Socialism.
  • People who buy food in bulk.
  • Preppers (those who have prepared for possible disasters).

There are many more, but this should give you an idea. Oh, and by the way, do you suppose that Muslim terrorists are anywhere on this list? Not a chance. In fact, Barack Obama ordered the words "Islamic terrorist" removed from military training manuals during his first term. Muslims, who routinely decapitate, hang and stone people to death, even their family members, for what are considered civil offenses in America, are Obama’s friends; although during his “presidency,” conservative Christians and other law-abiding citizens of the US are now being considered as terrorists by his administration.

Are you aware that Barack Obama was a member of the Socialist New Party in Chicago before he ran for president? Does that shock you? Possibly then, you might make a little room to receive, comprehend and understand the facts I am relaying to you in this report.

Isn’t it ironic that the vast majority of German citizens turned their heads and went about their everyday business, as Adolph Hitler took care of slaughtering 11 million people under their noses?

One day, in the not too distant future, DHS, the Pentagon and UN forces plan to not only confiscate the firearms of law-abiding US citizens, but they also plan to gather them up and place them in what can only be labeled as concentration camps (otherwise known as FEMA camps), which already exist throughout the nation, unless God intervenes to stop them. If you are interested in more information about FEMA camps, just use the link to view a video created by former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura (aired in 2010, but created before that - only 72 fusion centers reported on the video at that time).

The Word of God tells us that a world dictator will arise and rule the nations, even dictating who will be able to buy or sell:

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads, that no man might buy or sell, save he who had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and his number is six hundred, sixty-six” Revelation 13:16-18.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu Would Prefer Hell Over A Heaven Which Discriminates Against Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders

July 29, 2013


Archbishop Desmond Tutu, attired in his very pink silk vesture with silver trim, stood before crowds during the United Nations’ commencement of its gay rights program in Cape Town on Friday, and said,

“I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this. I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place,” reported Huffington Post.

According to the Word of God, Tutu will most assuredly get his wish, for the Word of God says:

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness, because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it unto them. Because that when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. For this cause, God gave them up unto vile affections, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet (just)” Romans 1:18-19,21,24,26-27.

“Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind” 1 Corinthians 6:9.

The Word of God is very clear; there is no guesswork in it. Just as the leaders of this nation have kicked prayer and God out of schools, even this “archbishop” portends the evil of this generation living in the last days, as foretold in the passage of scripture above, “men who hold the truth in unrighteousness.” Who better holds truth than an archbishop? Nevertheless, this popular religious leader has turned to unrighteousness, because “when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God…for this cause, God gave them up unto vile affections…”

Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. Jesus said,

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded, but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all” Luke 17:28-29.

Just as righteous Lot was delivered from Sodom before the wrath of God was poured out on that wicked city (the city bearing the name of the sins within it), the people of God will be caught up from the earth, before the wrath of God is poured out on the world during the great tribulation.

The Word of God says,

“Remember the former things of old, for I am God and there is none else; I am God and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand and I will do all My pleasure” Isaiah 46:9-10.

God has “declared the end from the beginning.” Can you see the parallel of the destruction of Sodom with the world events today? This demonstrates to us that we can see from “ancient times” the things that are happening now, which will also bring about the end of the age very soon, friends.

We can see by current events: The Supreme Court casts down the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8; the United Nations announces the launching of their Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) equality program; and Archbishop Desmond Tutu announces he would rather go to hell than enter a “homophobic” heaven, a heaven which does not accept the lifestyles of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.

God will grant Archbishop Tutu his wish, unless he repents, because God will not go back on His Holy Word.

Do you choose to go to hell with Desmond Tutu, or would you rather follow the commandments of God? Are you saved and ready for the return of the Lord? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page. Your eternal destiny depends on this decision. God bless you.

 

United Nations Pushes for LGBT Equality

July 28, 2013

United Nations Pushes for Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender Equality

Another sign we are approaching the end of the age and the return of the Lord: the United Nations announced a global public campaign to educate people by way of short videos, graphics, and testimony about lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people and encourage them to “look at the lives of LGBT people through the eyes of LGBT people themselves."

Meanwhile, the leaders of the nations at the UN have essentially “kicked off” the Word of God, and their intentions are to desensitize the world’s population, especially school children, to the abominations committed by these people.

That agenda is also a way of helping with their depopulation goals as well.

 The Word of God says, 

“For this cause (their rejection of truth), God gave them up unto vile affections, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error, which was meet (just)” Romans 1:26-27.

“Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind” 1 Corinthians 6:9.

Those of us who understand the signs of the times should not be surprised at the recent Supreme Court decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8, nor should we be surprised that the UN is speaking out boldly to infest humanity with perversions, because Jesus said,

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded, but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all, even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” Luke 17:28-30.

“The same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven” alludes to the fact that when Jesus catches His people up in the rapture, then the wrath of God will fall upon the earth, as it did upon the city of Sodom in Lot’s day. In fact, Sodom committed the same abominations which are becoming prevalent in the world today, and which are now being pushed upon little children in public schools and the populations of the world by the UN.

The Word of God says,

“Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” Isaiah 46:9-10.

In other words, just as Sodom was destroyed for their sexual sins (the city bearing the name of their sins), the wrath of God will again be poured out in the last days, after His people are caught up and removed from the earth.

The Word of God also says that the antichrist will "wear out the saints of the most High" (Daniel 7:25), and there will come a day when the freedom to publish the Word of God, which condemns sinful lifestyles such as these, will be illegal and Christians will be arrested for speaking truth.

Are you saved, friend? Are you ready to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. Your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
 

The Dowry

July 27, 2013



Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you; and if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go, you know, and the way you know" John 14:1-4.

Jesus said to His disciples, "You know where I go, and you know the way."
Jesus returned to His throne in glory and the path to go to where He is is believing in Him and abiding by His commandments. The Word of God tells us that the unGodly will not enter into the kindgom of God: "Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God" 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

As I pondered Jesus's description of the kingdom of heaven, and the Word of God referring to Jesus as a bridegroom coming for his bride (the church), I thought of all the parallels of an engaged couple, the marriage, the marriage supper, the honeymoon and the oneness of the couple themselves. The church's relationship to Jesus Christ, compared in the scriptures to a groom and his bride, is truly a perfect allegory.

Most people are led to believe that it is impossible to live a holy life. I don't say that Christians will never sin, for if we do, the Word of God tells us that "we have an advocate with the father." The apostle John wrote, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not; and if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He who says, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him" 1 John 2:1,4.

The most beautiful relationships among men and women are those wherein a young man meets a young virgin in their youth, they marry and "become one flesh." The Word of God says, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh" Genesis 2:24.

This is God's plan for His creation, which emulates the relationship between Jesus Christ and His "bride," the church of God. The apostle Paul, an overseer in the early church, wrote to the Christians at Corinth, "I am jealous over you with a Godly jealousy, for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ" 2 Corinthians 11:2. Paul was troubled about the steadfastness of the church and cautioned them against being seduced by false doctrines. Here Paul makes the same parallel between the church and a "caste virgin" and referred to the church being "espoused," or engaged, to Christ.

The warning against false doctrines and wolves in sheep's clothing is the same today. Jesus said, concerning the time of the end, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" Matthew 7:15. He also said, "Take heed, that no man deceive you, for many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many" Matthew 24:4-5.

Jesus relayed this parable to His disciples about the kingdom of heaven,

"The kingdom of heaven shall be like ten virgins (Christians), which took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom (Jesus), and five of them were wise, and five of them were foolish. Those that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil (Spirit of God) with them; but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept, and at midnight, there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go out to meet Him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out (they were unable to see their way without light); but the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there be not enough for us and you, but go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves. And while they went out to buy, the bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answered and said, Truly I say to you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes" Matthew 25:1-13.

Our Lord and Savior will not return for "pretend Christians;" He is coming after His bride who is following His commandments, a chaste virgin prepared for her wedding.

As I thought upon these things today, I imagined how precise this comparison is, the bride (church) and the bridegroom (Jesus Christ). I began to consider how the ancient dowry fits into this allegory, then the Lord immediately revealed that to me as well.

God, being the Father of the bride, has prepared the "dowry" for His bride:

Jesus said, "In My Father's house are many mansions - I go to prepare a place for you" John 14:2-3.

The apostle Paul said, "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing" 2 Timothy 4:8.

James wrote, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who love Him" James 1:12.

The Lord has already prepared the dowry for the bride of Jesus Christ, as we can see through the scriptures describing what the Lord has prepared for us.

It is all very complete. Are you prepared for the return of the Lord, or will you be left behind, in the same manner as the five foolish virgins? If you aren’t saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. Bible prophecy reveals there is little time left and your eternity destiny depends on your decision. God bless you.
