I’m angry. I’m really angry. Before I go on, I want to say that I know that God is in control. But as a Christian, it is my duty to stand for righteousness, and stand against evil!

When we were growing up, our dad would speak about America with tears in his eyes. His parents and my mom’s parents emigrated from Ukraine around 1903. They fled persecution as Jews to come to America. Our nation was known in the world as the best country on earth. My dad was a Patriot.  He served in WWII as a medic in the army. He loved that America stood with Israel. I think that is what brought more tears to his eyes than anything else.

How has this happened so quickly, brethren?  I remember in the 1950’s, saying the Lord’s Prayer in school.  My parents knew that we said that, and they didn’t mind at all. I’m choking back tears, just writing this piece. I love my country, but it’s become a wasteland of gross sin. I don’t trust our government anymore. I just don’t know what is ahead for us, but it doesn’t look good.

In searching for a common thread throughout this downward spiral into the pit in which we find ourselves, I kept coming back to one thing — Communism.  Khrushchev said this about America:

“We will bury you without firing a shot.”

He knew that our demise would come from within. He knew that his people were already here, and it was just a matter of time before our Republic would fall.

Recently, I wrote an article on the goals of Communism. I want to show you that Obama’s promise to fundamentally transform America was directly in line with Communist goals:

​1. ​Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

From the start, BHO has spoken of disarming America. He has worked with the U.N. to bring this about.  Our founding fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment, because they knew the horror of tyranny, and they wanted to protect the American people from ever being overtaken by an external or internal force which strove to rob us of our freedom.

2. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

Obama has spoken often of befriending all countries, whether Communist or not. Within the last few months, he has developed a strong relationship with Cuba, and now we are building an American embassy there!

3. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

Obama looks to the U.N. always for support for his goals for America.

4. Do away with loyalty oaths.

BHO has proclaimed to the world from his first day in office, that America is not exceptional. He discourages patriotism in America.

5. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Well, that happened long ago with the Democratic Party. It has been filled with Marxists/Socialists for years, but now they brazenly confess this with much pride.

6. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

We saw this with the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage. What greater “Basic American institution” than marriage as defined by God as between one man and one woman?  The gay community compared themselves to the Black community, which is ludicrous. Blacks are a race of people who were being denied their rights as American citizens. Gays are people who have chosen to live a sinful life.  This is like comparing apples and oranges.

7. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

This began in the 1960’s, but presently has a stranglehold on our schools, since BHO came into power.

8. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

Never in all my years have I seen a president of the United States own the press, as this president does. They might as well be paid by the government. Who knows, maybe they are.

9. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

The irony here is that there is a glaring double standard for free speech. Everyone is protected except for the Christian.

10. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

Can you say “Common Core?”  And as far as TV, the shows are so immoral and offensive, my husband and I watch reruns of The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie.

11. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

Isn’t it amazing that in BHO’s first term, he defended marriage as between one man and one woman.  Recently, after the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage, BHO lit up the White House with the colors of the gay flag. He knew that he would back gay marriage in his second term. Everything he does is calculated.

12. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

Sadly, this has happened within the church — even the discrediting of the Bible, and the move to social religion.  BHO was quoted a few days ago, as telling the church that it’s time to change their views on gay marriage.  GOD does NOT change.

13. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

This happened many years ago because of an atheist named Madeline Murray O’Hair.  The “separation of church and state” does not appear in our Constitution. It was coined as a phrase from a letter by Thomas Jefferson to a group of pastors from Danbury CT. They were concerned that the State might impose a religion on them.  Jefferson assured these men that would not happen.  It’s been told for so many years that this phrase is in the Constitution to protect the atheists from people of faith.  Adolph Hitler said that if you tell a big lie long enough, the people will believe it.  He was right.

14. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

BHO spends much of his time degrading our Constitution, and calling it outdated.

15. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.

These “uprisings” are well funded by George Soros, who is unapologetically Communist.

16. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

I believe that this is at the heart of Jade Helm 15. I believe that BHO plans to allow the World Court have jurisdiction in the U.S. to help to quench any uprising. I also believe that this is how he will attempt to disarm us.

My dad would weep if he saw what has happened to this once great and beautiful country. Our founding fathers would weep as well, but I do not believe they would be surprised.

Benjamin Franklin was questioned by a woman after the Constitutional Convention of 1787, who asked him: “Doctor, what do we have; a republic or a monarchy?”  He responded to her:  “A Republic – if you can keep it.”

Brethren, it is our job now to share salvation with the lost. This has always been our job, but time is so short. We need to ask our Lord to give us an abundance of boldness to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that many will be saved from their sins!

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20).

COME LORD JESUS – COME QUICKLY!

I thank God I’m not a pastor. What a heavy responsibility a pastor must bear. I’m not talking about just any pastor, but one who has been truly called to that position by God. When a man is responsible for those whom he pastors he must deal with a multitude of issues. He must be all things to all men without skirting or watering down the Word of God, and that’s a pretty tough row to hoe. That’s why it’s important that a pastor be “called” by the Almighty to the ministry. Thank God I’ve been called to evangelism and love it.

We can’t say with a certainty whether a man has been called or not. He may know all the Christian jargon and rudiments of the faith, but only time will tell and only God knows. We are told that by their fruits you shall know them. Still we can’t know their true story or heart, so we can’t be judgmental except in extreme cases where an unrepentant leader continues in obvious sin. The behavior of some may even test your faith.

For example, in Florida yet another pastor has fallen recently and resigned over sexual indiscretions. This is the second one from a prominent church in South Florida. Along with the Catholic Clergy and leaders in all denominations, some of these people are committing overtly sinful acts – often with the flock. I for one would not dare condemn them, since I know how things work in the real world – having been there myself. The only thing I can figure is that these men have lived sheltered lives and know nothing of the natural inclination of the sexes. Both men and women desire to be recognized for their beauty or brains, and they will use these attributes to entice others of the opposite sex. Not only that, but some would even dare rape innocent children to satisfy lustful desire! For most of these unrepentant sinners, integrity means little, especially to those who have not really been “born again.”

Since we are all capable of unrighteousness, even to the deception of ourselves, we can’t be too quick to condemn others. Jesus warned us of self-elevating ourselves by the condemnation of others. Those outside the Christian community should stop and consider that these fallen pastors are only men with the same inclinations as all other human beings, and unless we are careful to stay close to God we too can fail, despite the fact that we have the Holy Spirit to guide us by His presence and the written word of God. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

What would you do if confronted by these temptations? Would you endure? Can you navigate the treacherous currents of secular society and deal with fake Christians within the walls of the church? What would you do if Isis or the government closed the doors of your church? Could you stand this assault on your faith? It isn’t easy and these assaults will only increase as time marches on. The just shall live by faith.

Jesus said, “In the Last Days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian.” So we must be alert, well informed and trust in our heavenly Father to strengthen us by His presence and again by the written word of God. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Having said that let me say this as well.

With all that’s happening in the world like the aforementioned atrocities and the following signs we who know Christ in a personal way should be able to discern the times.

I will touch on just a few of these latest other signs.

Since a Patsy Cline hologram will perform sometime in the near future on stage, is it possible that the Anti Christ will demand that people everywhere bow down to his hologram image in fulfillment of biblical prophecy?

The pope is calling climate change the greatest threat to mankind while radical Islam is killing Christians everywhere, yet he seldom if ever mentions it. Isn’t he one of us? Doesn’t he care about them!?? Incredible!

Ramadan was celebrated at the White House the other day. It was the same day two teenage boys were beaten, hung on posts and left to die for not fasting on that day in Iraq. It was an Islamic celebration of those who would impose their evil religion on us or kill us in the process. What!??

In the meantime Iranian leaders have decided to continue to enrich uranium for a nuclear bomb against our sanctions and have as much as told the U.S. and U.N. to go to hell as they continue to threaten Israel with annihilation.

These things make even non-believers question what’s going on in the world. At the same time we are quickly running out of time to reverse the course of our nation. All of this craziness may come down to this: are YOU ready for any inevitability?

Again, Jesus said, “When I return will I find any faith?”

By the way, insofar as my evangelical movie project “The Prophecies – 2016” is concerned, I’m still having a problem getting Christians to offer their help. Because of that, I’m inclined to believe that apathy prevails in the Christian community, even in light of today’s fulfillment of biblical prophecy! In spite of that I will press on believing that this is my calling.

But I firmly believe that, “All things are possible with God.” Beyond that, I know for a fact (because of my being able to communicate to any person on the street) that most people are questioning the unparalleled times in which we live and are open to the Gospel or scripture in general. They will almost certainly respond to “The Prophecies – 2016” as they are beginning to feverishly seek answers to today’s ever increasing dilemmas.

Well that was fast, and this may still be overturned.  However, what we see here is the just the start of what I anticipate to be a long fight over Religious Freedom.  It was never about gay marriage it was about the gay agenda. The clamor to go after Christians and punish/persecute is just starting.

Proctor, VT — According to NBC News, a pastor at the Christian Proctor Church in Vermont, has been sentenced to one year in federal prison after refusing to marry gay couples. This comes shortly after the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision ruling that states must allow gay-marriage.

The Christian Pastor, 56-year-old Paul Horner, had his lawyer speak to reporters on his behalf.

“We are currently disputing the guilty verdict and I am confident my client will be a free man here shortly,” said attorney Tom Downey. “Horner was just using his best judgement according to his rights and religious freedom in this country.”

(The following is from the study of the Book of Romans by Chuck Missler.  Romans 9,10, and 11 all with deal with the Nation of Israel from past, to present to its future.  It is uncanny how the tactics used by the Nazis in Czecholovakia, are in use today against Israel)
History teaches us that man learns nothing from history.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The Strategic Barrier

Czechoslovakia was strategically placed in the heart of Europe, and its conquest was central to Hitler’s plans for overrunning Europe. Though small, Czechoslovakia could field over 800,000 men (one of the strongest armies in Europe), and it had a highly efficient arms industry. To complicate matters from Hitler’s point of view, it possessed a formidable physical barrier to his designs in the shape of the Sudeten mountains, which bordered Germany and guarded the access to the Czech heartland and the capital city of Prague only miles away. A system of fortifications and fortresses had been built in the mountains over many years, making passage by force a very costly proposition, perhaps even impossible. We now know from the Nuremberg trials and other sources that Hitler’s generals were utterly opposed to an assault on the Czech fortifications. Worse from Hitler’s point of view, the Western powers
had promised at Versailles to guarantee the Czech border against any aggressive attack. France, which in 1938 could field one hundred divisions (an army 50% larger than Germany’s), had agreed in writing to come to the Czech’s defense, and Britain and Russia were committed to joining in if France did.

The Propaganda Solution

Since an outright military victory seemed impossible, Hitler embarked on an unprecedented campaign to politically force the Czechs to give up the land, and with it any hope of being able to defend their capital or their country. The inhabitants of the Sudetenland, Hitler said, were predominantly German, and these three million Sudeten Germans deserved—what else?—the right of self-determination and a destiny separate from the other seven million inhabitants of Czechoslovakia; this despite the fact that the country was a democracy and that the Sudeten Germans enjoyed economic prosperity and full civil rights. To buttress his claim, Hitler organized and funded the creation of a new Sudeten political leadership that would do his bidding, which was, in the words of Sudeten leader Konrad Henlein, to “demand so much that we can never be satisfied.” In addition, Hitler backed the establishment of a Sudeten liberation movement called the Sudeten Free Corps, and he instigated a series of well-planned and violent uprisings that the Czechs were compelled to quell by force. Hitler’s propaganda chief, Goebbels, orchestrated a fearful propaganda campaign of fabricated “Czech terror” and oppression of the Sudeten Germans.

Thus the plight of the German minority in Czechoslovakia was merely
a pretext … for cooking up a stew in a land he coveted, undermining it,
confusing and misleading its friends and concealing his real purpose …
to destroy the Czechoslovak state and grab its territories ….
The leaders of France and Great Britain did not grasp this. All through the
spring and summer, indeed almost to the end, Prime Minister Chamberlain
and Premier Daladier apparently sincerely believed, along with most of
the rest of the world, that all Hitler wanted was justice for his kinsfolk in
Czechoslovakia…
William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

The Reversal of Causality

The Czech refusal to allow the Sudeten territories to return to their “rightful” German owners, Hitler prattled, was proof that the Czechs were the intransigent obstacle to peace. For what choice would Germany have but to come to the assistance of its oppressed brethren living under intolerable Czech occupation? Moreover, the Germans reversed causality, claiming that the Czechs were trying to precipitate a European crisis in order to prevent the breakup of their state, that the choice between war and peace in Europe was in
Czech hands, and even that “this petty segment of Europe is harassing the human race.” But there was a simple way to simultaneously avoid war and achieve justice, Hitler said. The Western powers—meaning Britain and France— could force the Czechs to do what was necessary for the sake of peace: Czechoslovakia had to relinquish the “occupied territories!” Manufacturing a Point of View And it worked. With astonishing speed, the governments and opinionmakers of the West adopted Hitler’s point of view. Throughout 1937 and 1938, mounting pressure was exerted on Czechoslovakia by the leading Western powers “to go to the utmost limit” to meet Sudeten demands. Czech leader Edvard Benes was reviled as intransigent. The Western press published articles lamenting Czech shortsightedness and its total disregard for the cause of peace in Europe, as well as the injustice of not allowing the Sudetenland to be “returned” to Germany (despite the fact that it had never been part of Germany). The British envoy who was dispatched to investigate the situation even went so far as to demand that Czechoslovakia “so remodel her foreign relations as to give assurances to her neighbors that she will in no circumstances attack them or enter into any aggressive action against them.”

Land for Peace

On September 18, 1938, under the gun of Hitler’s September 28 deadline, a meeting was held between the British Cabinet and the French prime minister and foreign minister, in which it was determined that democratic Czechoslovakia must accede to Hitler’s demands.  Despite the fact that the West had promised in writing at Versailles to go to war to defend Czechoslovakia’s borders, it was agreed that the Czechs must give up the Sudetenland for “the maintenance of peace and the safety of Czechoslovakia’s vital interests.” In return, the Czechs would receive from Britain and France “an international guarantee of the new boundaries… against unprovoked aggression.” If the Czechs did not accept the plan and thereby save the peace of Europe, they were informed by the leaders of the free world, they would be left to fight Hitler alone. In Neville Chamberlain’s immortal words: “It is up to the Czechs now.”

The Sting

But in fact it was not even left to the Czechs. Chamberlain realized that if the Czechs were to fight, France and Britain might be forced to fight too. As the Czechs and Germans mobilized, Chamberlain became increasingly hysterical about averting war by buying off Hitler with the Czech defensive wall. He shuttled repeatedly to Germany to try to arrange the payoff. Finally, minutes before his September 28 deadline, Hitler “agreed” to Chamberlain’s proposal for an international peace conference to bring peace to Central Europe. At Munich, Britain and France pleaded with Hitler for 11 hours to “compromise” and take the Sudetenland peacefully.
In the end Hitler agreed. The Western leaders returned in triumph to London and Paris. In government, in parliament, and in the press, Chamberlain and Daladier were praised, cheered, and thanked for having traded land for peace. “My friends,” said Chamberlain, “I believe it is peace in our time.” Having grasped the fact that his supposed democratic allies had allowed themselves to become tools in Hitler’s hand, Prime Minister Benes announced Czechoslovakia’s capitulation to the demands of the
totalitarians. “We have been basely betrayed,” he said.

Phase Two
On September 30, the Czech army began its withdrawal from the Sudetenland—from the strategic passes, the mountain fortresses, and the major industrial facilities that would have been the backbone of Czechoslovakia’s effort to defend itself. But this was only Phase One of Hitler’s plan. The German annexation of the Sudetenland was followed by a renewed list of demands on the Czechs. The Nazis continued to invent incidents of violence and oppression against the ethnic German minority in what was left of the Czech state.
Less than six months later, on March 15, 1939, the Nazi war machine rolled through the rest of Czechoslovakia. Shorn of their defenses in the Sudeten mountains, the Czechs were now powerless to resist. Phase Two had been implemented. The Western powers again did nothing. Once more, all their assurance proved worthless.

Clear and Present Danger
Unfortunately, the parallels to today’s effort to gouge Judea and Samaria out of Israel are all too easy to see. Like the Sudeten district, the West Bank is mountainous territory, a formidable military barrier that guards the slender and densely populated Israeli shoreline and Israel’s capital city. Like the Germans, the Arabs understand that as long as Israel controls these mountains, it will not be overrun. They understand too that a military campaign to seize these mountains is at present unthinkable, and that Israel’s removal from them can be achieved only by the application of irresistible political pressure by the West on Israel to withdraw. The Arab regimes have therefore embarked on a campaign to persuade the West that the Arab inhabitants of these mountains (like the Sudeten Germans, comprising roughly a third of the total population) are a separate people that deserves the right of self- determination—and that
unless such self-determination is granted, the Arab states will have no choice but to resort to war to secure it. As in the case of Czechoslovakia, Israel’s insistence on not parting with territories strategically vital for its defenses is presented as the obstacle to peace. Echoing Munich, the Arabs repeatedly advocate “active” American (and European) involvement, in the hope that an American Chamberlain can be found to force “the intransigent party” to capitulate where it is otherwise unwilling to compromise its own security. That the Arabs have borrowed directly from the Nazis in this, as in so many of their other devices against Israel, is not surprising. What is surprising, or at least disappointing, is the speed and readiness with which this transparent ruse has been received, digested, and internalized by the elite of the Western world. Not a day passes without some somber editorial or political comment from august quarters in America or Europe asking Israel to voluntarily accept the same decree that Czechoslovakia was asked to accept.

A motive is the reason to do a certain thing, or simply put, a reason for an action. Usually a motive asks what we can gain by doing a specific thing. In other words, “What’s in it for me?” We all seem to be hard wired for this way of thinking. It is viewed by psychiatrists as a logical tool for self preservation. Yet true Christian living requires that all that we do should be done selflessly. For the true Christian motives are everything. Nevertheless, it can be a hard thing to determine a person’s true motives, even our own.

Pure motives require introspection and prayer. Since God can’t be patronized or conned, true prayer can’t or shouldn’t be flowery, shallow or meaningless words. Our Heavenly Father wants us to pray in Spirit and Truth. All too often we Christians only mouth sweet sounding words that are designed to entrance, deceive and justify a particular action, especially when praying in front of others. More often than not, we want to be seen as paragons of the faith. We want or need the affirmation of others. But like David, we should ask to have God search our hearts to see if there be anything amiss in our motives toward Him. In this respect David was a man after God’s own heart. True repentance, should be paramount in our introspection. “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” He knows our motives and the intent of our heart.

On the other hand, there are those who whimper in dread and fear because they haven’t developed a close relationship with the Father of lights. They have a problem in trying to reconcile their motives to what God requires of us. First that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. When we fret and cry without reason in the presence of our Heavenly Father it is usually due to lack of understanding of the scriptures, which give us hope and assurance and an intimate knowledge of the goodness of the God of heaven and earth. These people fear Him, and rightfully so, but once love and trust is established they can be open and talk to Him without dread. Then they can come boldly to His throne of Grace, fearlessly saying Abba Father!

The more we know of Him the more we understand his ways and what pleases Him. We can only know these things when we study the Holy Scriptures. That’s why it is imperative to read and study the bible as often as possible. There isn’t any need to jump up and down, stomp and wail for His presence, you don’t have to fall on the floor and spin around on your back like a dying cockroach, or try to reach him on tiptoes with hands extended toward the heavens.

When you know our Heavenly Father intimately you have peace, assurance of salvation and hope, even in the face of adversity. The more we know of Him the more fearless and joyful we become.

So what are your motives? If you think God is a means of making money or achieving fame and recognition you are only deceiving yourself. You will have to answer to the Almighty sooner or later, so please don’t go there.

“Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? Does He who fashioned the ear not hear? Does He who formed the eye not see?”

 

By the way,

I realize that today’s movies and even television are being used by the evil one to the destruction of humanity. Morals and sexual purity are shredded and homosexuality is becoming the norm in today’s society. Decent entertainers and entertainment are hard to come by these days. Even the Disney star “Hanna Montana” (Miley Cyrus) rails against her parents religious beliefs with outspokenness, using the F bomb repeatedly, and displaying her female lover openly. Her parents must be devastated.

My criteria for a worthwhile film or production is: what is the redeeming value and/or what have I learned. Maybe the redeeming value is only a momentary respite from the reality of the evil days in which we live, after all we need to laugh and be entertained once in a while.

Trying to make a decent and meaningful evangelical film is the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do, and I’ve always excelled in everything I’ve put my hand to. But Satan has kept me from advancing this agenda. However, I can now see the good in having been stalled, as now I can mention Isis in my screenplay and also the deterioration of our God ordained laws in our beloved land as well, things that have only begun to happen openly in the past couple of years. This ought to make people aware of the evil times in which we live, the last days.

I’m on facebook now in preparation for appearing on the crowd funding website Indiegogo. Check it out and feel free to write me.

(Article by Terry James. Terry James at Rapture Ready)

(Editors note: I am reminded of the passage in Isaiah 5:20)

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

Early this morning I was listening to a Bible teacher teaching on prophecy and how it looks like America and the world are at the end of the Church Age (Age of Grace). He was talking about U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

The teacher was in the book of Romans and he was in the first chapter. The teacher was Les Feldick presenting his then weekly teaching by way of his Through the Bible television ministry. The year the program was produced was 1995. I was listening to his teaching Friday, June 26, 2015 –20 years later. A Christian TV cable network on our cable outlet is running the series on a daily basis at 5 a.m.

Les, as I understand, is now in his mid 80s and, I’m sure, still teaching somewhere in Oklahoma. I once met him at the Tulsa Mid-America Prophecy Conference held annually in early April. that was 7 or 8 years ago.

Today, a few hours after I listened to him teaching from that video recording back in that year 2 decades earlier, I heard on network television the announcement.

It was Pete Williams of NBC News –who you might remember as the Pentagon spokesperson during the first Gulf War– standing near the wildly cheering crowd. The NBC correspondent –an avowed “gay”– had to clear his throat of emotion before answering the anchor’s question about what had just happened at the Supreme Court.

He enthusiastically gave the requested report, almost shouting to be heard above the jubilant throng screaming their approval of the court’s decision.

The decision was 5 to 4, with the swing vote coming from Justice Kennedy, Williams said. The United States would now require every state to accept same sex marriage as constitutionally validated.

Twenty years earlier, Les Feldick had dealt with what I was now hearing from Pete Williams on Friday, June 26 of this year.

Les  said during that early morning program, recorded in 1995, that every time he read through Romans, Chapter 1, he couldn’t help but think of the almost insane decisions that come out of the U.S. Supreme Court. He said that the insanity really began back during the days when Earl Warren, the former governor of California, was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Warren court, Les said, had rendered the most destructive decisions in American history. He mentioned the decision to remove prayer and Bible reading from public schools in 1963 and 1964. He talked about Roe v Wade, issued in 1973, opening up the nation to the slaughter of babies in the wombs of America’s mothers.

He compared the Warren Supreme Court’s decision making and the resultant chaos to Paul’s condemning words in his letter to the Romans.

“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 hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 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. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 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 their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Rom 1: 18-32)

Les Feldick, in that lesson recorded 2 decades ago, saw the Supreme Court as demonstrating that God’s Word is absolutely True. When man moves away from God, their minds become reprobate –that is upside-down in their thinking. they make foolish, unthinking, unreasonable decisions. And, the Supreme Court, the majority of those 9 men (not all were reprobate in thinking,)               seemed to try, like Lucifer himself, to usurp the Throne of God –the Creator of all things.

There were ramifications, in my view, from those earlier Supreme Court decisions. John F. Kennedy was assassinated; Vietnam would eventually take 50,000 American lives; The Great Society began the financial collapse of the U.S. –and the world, for that matter; Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered, as was Robert F. Kennedy; a slide into abject immorality and cultural rot continues today, as a result of those decisions which have exacerbated other aspects of national life.

Friday, June 26, 2015 is another historical, milestone demarcation of man’s foolishness. The decision to, in effect, tell the Creator that the Supreme Court knows what constitutes marriage, so He should just butt out, is the ultimate insult in testing God’s patience. It is an act of rebellion that demonstrates this generation has reached a level of reprobate thinking like that reached by the earth-dwellers of Noah’s pre-flood day and Sodom’s days of Lot.

I’ve received a number of emails stating that such a Supreme Court vote making mandatory that all states allow gay marriage will bring instant retribution from Heaven. This is what we are now to expect. The United States will now reap God’s Judgment and Wrath in short order.

Looking at what happened almost immediately following the 1963 and 1964 decisions by the Warren Court –considering the apparent consequences listed above– it would seem such predictions have credence. I’m not at all sure there is a valid comparison to be made, then to now, however.

That which happened in those earlier years, with those consequences that befell America, I’m of the conviction, involved corrective action –a call by God to this nation, imploring that there be a turning from such rebellion. A question to ponder is: does time remain sufficient enough to even warrant a call in the form of corrective action? I.e., Has the Lord just decided in this obviously late, late hour, to turn America over to a “reprobate mind,” as the Apostle Paul (Rom 1:28)  indicates  for a rebellious people who have turned their back on Him?

Paul tells God’s Thought about those who treat the Lord with contempt.

“But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God…” (Rom 2: 5)

Despite this warning of God’s Judgment and Wrath accumulating, we get a look into the Lord’s Merciful Patience.

“What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.” (Rom 9: 22)

The Apostle Peter explains God’s patience –the reason He hasn’t ended mankind’s rebellion to this point.

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Pet 3: 9)

All who name the name of Jesus Christ should not be caught up in the cares of this world, in becoming more and more like the world system of materialism. While we must live upon this world of quickly declining morality, we should be aware of what the forces of evil are perpetrating. We should stand against those powers and principalities, both human and supernatural, just as written in Ephesians 6: 12.

The buying, selling, planting, the marrying –heterosexual or otherwise– is a way of life that is going to end in one stupefying microsecond of time. The Christian will stand before his or her Lord and give an account of whether we have been working and watching for Christ, or whether we have been caught up totally in the cares of this world, with callous disregard for being salt and light as we see the end of the age approaching.

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” (Lk 21: 34-35)

The only Court that is going to matter ultimately is that which renders the Supreme’s Decision on how we, individually, have lived within or apart from His Governance.

Make sure you aren’t one whose head is stuck deeply into the proverbial sand of worldliness and apathy.

 

(Editors Note: the following post is from Michael Snyder at Endoftheamericandream.com website.  I have read his articles on ZeroHedge for some time and he adds a great deal of insight to events happening around the world, but especially here at home.  The military side of me is always alert to the environment around me ( stay alert, stay alive!), and I have an uneasy feeling of the events going on here and abroad.  It is hard to pinpoint but something does not feel right.  The best course of action is to always be prepared for any situation. As Roger Rangers stated in his standing orders of 1756. Rule #1 Don’t forget nothing.  To me that includes situational awareness)

 

Is something really big about to happen?  For months, people have been pointing to the second half of this year for various reasons.  For some, the major concern is Jade Helm and the unprecedented movement of military vehicles and equipment that we have been witnessing all over the nation.  For others, the upcoming fourth blood moon and the end of the Shemitah cycle are extremely significant events.  Yet others are most concerned about political developments in Washington D.C. and at the United Nations.  To me, it does seem rather remarkable that we are seeing such a confluence of economic, political and spiritual events coming together during the second half of 2015.  So is all of this leading up to something?  Is our world about to change in a fundamental way?  Only time will tell.  The following are 7 key events that are going to happen by the end of September…

Late June/Early July – It is expected that this is when the U.S. Supreme Court will reveal their gay marriage decision.  Most believe that the court will rule that gay marriage is a constitutional right in all 50 states.  There are some that believe that this will be a major turning point for our nation.

July 15th to September 15th – A “realistic military training exercise” known as “Jade Helm” will be conducted by the U.S. Army.  More than 1,000 members of the U.S. military will take part in this exercise.  The list of states slated to be involved in these drills includes Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, Mississippi and Florida.

July 28th – On May 28th, Reuters reported that countries in the European Union were being given a two month deadline to enact “bail-in” legislation.  Any nation that does not have “bail-in” legislation in place by that time will face legal action from the European Commission.  So why is the European Union in such a rush to get this done?  Are the top dogs in the EU anticipating that another great financial crisis is about to erupt?

September 13th – This is Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar – the last day of the Shemitah year.  Many are concerned about this date because we have seen giant stock market crashes on the last day of the previous two Shemitah cycles.

On September 17th, 2001 (which was Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), we witnessed the greatest one day stock market crash in U.S. history up until that time.  The Dow plummeted 684 points, and it was a record that held for exactly seven years until the end of the next Shemitah cycle.

On September 29th, 2008 (which was also Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), the Dow fell by an astounding 777 points, which still today remains the greatest one day stock market crash of all time.

Now we are approaching the end of another Shemitah year.  So will the stock market crash on September 13th, 2015?  Well, no, because that day is a Sunday.  So I guarantee that the stock market will not crash on that particular day.  But as Jonathan Cahn has pointed out in his book on the Shemitah, sometimes stock market crashes happen just before the end of the Shemitah year and sometimes they happen within just a few weeks after the end of the Shemitah.  So we are not just looking at one particular date.

September 15th – The 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins on this date.  It is being reported that France plans to introduce a resolution which would give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state.  Up until now, the United States has always been the one blocking such a resolution, but Barack Obama is indicating that things may be much different this time around.

September 25th to September 27th – The United Nations is going to launch a brand new sustainable development agenda for the entire planet.  Some have called this “Agenda 21 on steroids”.  But this new agenda is not just about the environment.  It also includes provisions regarding economics, agriculture, education and gender equality.  On September 25th, the Pope will travel to New York to give a major speech kicking off the UN conference where this new agenda will be unveiled.

September 28th – This is the date for the last of the four blood moons that fall on Biblical festival dates during 2014 and 2015.  This blood moon falls on the very first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, it will be a “supermoon”, and it will actually be visible in the city of Jerusalem.  There are many that dismiss the blood moon phenomenon, but we have seen similar patterns before.  For example, a similar pattern of eclipses happened just before and just after the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Romans in 70 AD.

Perhaps none of this alarms you.  But when you add everything above to the fact that the elite definitely appear to be feverishly preparing for something, a very alarming picture emerges.

For example, due to fears that a “natural disaster” could interrupt their operations in New York, the New York Fed has been working hard to build up a satellite office in Chicago.

What kind of “natural disaster” could possibly be so bad that it would cause the entire New York Fed to shut down?

And NORAD has decided to move back into the base deep inside Cheyenne Mountain after all these years.  The threat of an electromagnetic pulse was the reason given for this decision.

By themselves, perhaps those moves would not be that big of a deal.  But let’s add all of the weird movements of military vehicles and equipment that we have been witnessing lately to this discussion.  I included this list from Intellihub in a previous article, but I believe that it bears repeating…

• On March 13th, Intellihub founder Shepard Ambellas detailed photos and documentation of nearly 40 U.S. Army soldiers, wielding training rifles and dressed in full combat gear, participating in an urban warfare style training drill just outside the Texarkana Regional Airport perimeter.
• In the middle of April, a report out of Big Springs, Texas revealed that a train full of military equipment and over a dozen helicopters had arrived in the town ahead of Jade Helm 2015.
• Photographs taken in Corona, California a few days later added to the Jade Helm speculation after they showed a MRAP full of what looked to be U.S. Marines driving down the 1-15 freeway. “In broad daylight with not a care in the world”
• On April 24th a shocking report on Intellihub News detailed armed troops seen confronting angry protesters in a “professional news package”of riot control training released by the military
• “A massive buildup, a lot of movement and its undeniable at this point,” read the headline on April 25th after a convoy was seen in Oroville, California that stretched as far as the eye could see.
  
• Moving into May, photographs taken in Indiana showed a massive military convoy heading down the freeway. The photos, taken by a concerned citizen, show the convoy heading west on I-70 for reasons unknown.
• Two days later, video footage, this time out of Texarkana, Arkansas, highlighted a convoy of Humvees driving down the highway as well as a trainload of military vehicles that was seen shortly after.
• In mid May, Intellihub reporter Alex Thomas published a detailed report that confirmed that the military was indeed training to take on the American people, this time in the form of domestic house to house raids.
• The next day a new report, also by Alex Thomas, proved that Marines were actually practicing for the internment of American citizens.
• On May 18th, a train full of hundreds of military Humvees was spotted, further revealing the increased military buildup across the country leading into Jade Helm 2015. The train was heading towards Cleveland for unknown reasons although a possible connection to planned upcoming protests had been mentioned.
• This past week a massive military war game simulation called Raider Focus was announced. The war game will include the largest military convoy seen on the roads of Colorado since World War II.
• On may 23th, Intellihub News reported on pictures sent to ANP that show a 1/4 mile long military train convoy near the Colorado Wyoming border.
• Finally, a report published this week detailed a stunning propaganda move by the military involving a New Jersey school and the worship of the military on the streets of America. “As parents, teachers, and students looked on with joy, Marines from the Special-Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force landed helicopters on the baseball diamond of a New Jersey school.”

What does all of this mean?

It is hard to say.  We have imperfect information, so it is difficult to come up with perfect conclusions.

But what I will say is that I believe that the second half of 2015 is going to be extremely significant.  I believe that events are about to start accelerating greatly, and I believe that life in America is about to change dramatically.

The retort – “I don’t talk about religion and politics” used to be said by most here in the good old U.S.A. when a person was approached with either subject. But today, many are beginning to find their tongue about these very important issues pertaining to life. A number of North Americans are finally beginning to wake up to see the disaster of turning their backs on Almighty God and letting subversives rule the country. Until now they were deceived by political leftists who used deceit, voter theft and intimidation to enable them to reach the very heights of government. Having achieved this goal they set out to alter our morals and laws.

These were for the most part adherents of the teachings of Saul Alinsky and Cloward – Piven, whose words were prevalent on college campuses during the mid to late sixties. These same people now rule the country! In so doing they’ve taken God and the Ten Commandments out of our schools and other institutions and no one objected. Now we are paying the price in lawlessness across the board. Pedophiles and homosexuals are imposing their perversions on us. Now they want to shoot poison into the hearts of the unborn instead of sucking out their brains in unrestrained abortions.

Saul Alinsky is the man who wrote “Rules for Radicals” in the mid-sixties. His most ardent followers were college students looking to make a name for themselves in the chaotic days of student unrest during the Vietnam War. Hillary Clinton was one of them and she wrote a thesis on this book and highly admired this evil man. There are many others who also rode this ideology into the very halls of political power through deceit, lies and intimidation. One of Saul Alinsky’s quotes was of a spiritual nature. It goes like this, “The first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom was Lucifer.” His writing consisted of how to win at all costs.

What Saul Alinsky is trying to say is that political radicals should usurp and destroy the ideals and laws instituted by our country’s founders by any and all means. The bible tells us that Lucifer is the originator of that lawless mindset and is a liar and the father of lies. He is also referred to as a murderer. Not only that, but he is full of pride and would have us be like him, arrogant and proud. This way of life leads to anarchy, sorrow and eventually to death. When we deny the authority of our heavenly creator we are doomed to failure in the end. Our country appears to be in its death throes because of this corrupt ideology.

Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven were students of Saul Alinsky and added to his work of promoting atheistic communism. When they were young and impressionable they thought they were doing a good thing for the working class people, but they were wrong and we are seeing the end result now. Many of today’s political leaders are followers of this erroneous and devious teaching and are diminishing our freedoms at an alarming rate, with no one trying to stop them. Even the pulpit remains silent about the issues that plague our nation, a nation that was founded on the word of God. However, we church goers can understand that they would lose their tax free status and therefore they have to navigate the prevalent politically correct waters with caution.

Not surprisingly, many Cubans and Russians who were formerly communists would say that communism is a very bad thing. As a matter of fact, they try desperately to escape that way of life in rickety boats and by any and all means, often at great peril. They know from experience that communism doesn’t work, except for the few who instigate and promote it. The moment communism is set in place the leaders of that movement begin to rule with an iron hand, exterminating any and all the dissenters. When communist “progressives” take over a government they eventually take over complete control of the country and oppress, vilify and assassinate those who stand against them.

While progressives want to rule the country through the tyranny, lies and deceit that Saul Alinsky taught, Islamists want us to comply with Sharia and the worship of Allah at the same time – in our own country! These two factions are determined to destroy our country and way of life, but there is a conundrum about these two forces that are out to destroy us. Progressives are using Islam and Islam is using progressives to achieve dominance, but only one of them will eventually win, and that is the Anti Christ.

Although we here in America have been duped by so-called progressives, and should Sharia be instituted across the land through this diabolical collaboration, these same progressives will be the first to be singled out for death by Muslim extremists! Homosexuals, feminists, Christians and Jews will face persecution like never before in the history of the world. Feminists will be stoned to death, homosexuals will be thrown off buildings and the silent Christians and Jewry will have their throats slit. This is the end result that we will be paying for not speaking out and standing up against these forces of evil.

If the country is toppled, then the only ones to gain anything are the people in high office. Their only obstacle will be Muslim extremists, but since so many of the Muslim Brotherhood have already infiltrated the U.S. government there will certainly be a battle as to who will be the supreme rulers of this country and the world. This will most certainly be Islam and the U.N. which is made up of Muslim nations, in collusion with them. Then the tribulation period will begin in earnest with all hell breaking loose.

Whatever you may think of Michael Savage, the outspoken Jewish talk radio host, he speaks the unadulterated truth when he fearlessly rails against the establishment. While Dr. Savage may not be a Christian, he certainly acts like one and will probably decide on becoming one in the near future. I, for one, would welcome the opportunity to talk to him about Yeshua Hamashia.

Another man who’s found his tongue is Franklin Graham, who in recent days is speaking out fearlessly against these evil entities. America needs hundreds if not thousands of fearless men to stand up and speak out.

Didn’t the old time evangelists like Billy Sunday and Billy Graham preach God’s truth perched on the proverbial “soap box?” We Christians are the salt of the earth and a light to the world. Maybe it’s time we all begin talking openly about religion and politics, which are important life and death matters.

By the way, I hope to do that very thing with my movie “The Prophecies”. A movie in which the American masses are asked to repent and seek God’s face before it’s too late to do anything except weep for our country and the terrible fate of mankind.

(Editors Note. After reading the following article, I asked the same question, what is my/your church doing to help? How many Sunday’s have gone by in the last year as ISIS has systematically persecuted some of the oldest Christian communities in the world? Yet on Sunday, not a peep.  Follow the link and find out what more YOU can do)

In the spring of 2014, an organized militia set out to create a form of Islamic government known as a caliphate in the Middle East. As spring turned to summer, this Islamic State (ISIS) destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Syrian Christians, Iraqi believers, Yazidis and various sects of Shia Muslims. Over 1 million were driven from their homes, and thousands of others were slaughtered or enslaved as this ruthless caliphate swept across Syria and Iraq.

Thousands upon thousands fled into the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq to places called Erbil and Dohuk. They took refuge in parks, stadiums, abandoned buildings, parking garages, shelters and tents. Months later, many of them continue to live in camps and refugee centers with little hope of ever returning home.

I have just returned from northern Iraq where I served with a Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief medical and children’s trauma team. The team was comprised of Dr. Tom Ashburn of Barbourville, Glenn Hickey of Monticello, Stacy Nall of Shelbyville, Pat Callan of Sparta, Debra Kramer of Henderson, Karen Smith of Shepherdsville, and myself, Coy Webb, Kentucky Baptist DR director. We spent nine days in northern Iraq seeking to bring help, healing and hope to those displaced by war and violence. As we ministered among the refugees, they only asked one thing of us, “Will you please tell our story to the world?”
