We’ve got wolves among the sheep. Knowing that some readers are new to the Christian faith, they have to be warned about these heretics and scoundrels. In these final days of human history we must face the facts, and the facts are that there is a great deception going on, a deception to draw people away from the Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus warned about these so-called wolves among the sheep, saying that in the last days “…. if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived.”
Any group of people that deny the deity of Christ, His death and resurrection and deny that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no man comes to the Father but by Him is a heretical cultist and /or scoundrel. “For there is no other name, under heaven, given among men, whereby you must be saved.”
It took seventy Jewish scholars to interpret the Pentateuch and Septuagint from the earlier writings of the Holy Scriptures. Then in the last century a single delusional man decided to rewrite the King James interpretation. His name was Charles Taze Russell, the man who founded the Jehovah’s Witness cult. Another such man named Joseph Smith found golden plates in his back yard and founded the Mormon fairy tale in his overt sexual desire to have more than one wife. I like Glen Beck, but obviously this man is out to get ratings and nothing more. I’d like to have a talk with him. There is also one woman named Mary Baker Eddie who founded the Christian Scientist cult. Apparently she was a scientist of some sort.
Did you notice that in each case there was only one delusional person with their own diabolical interpretation of scripture? And it took seventy learned scholars from all facets of the arts and sciences to come up with the King James Version! If there were any mistakes made, they had nothing to do with doctrine. Jesus said, “For verily I say to you that not one jot or tittle shall in no wise be taken from the law till all these things come to pass.” If Jesus was so concerned about every jot and tittle of the Bible, don’t you think He would have been looking over the shoulder of these learned men to make sure they got it right?
Years ago when I didn’t know better, I enjoyed watching some of these wolves prancing about on television on the gaudy TBN sets, claiming to be called of God to preach, teach and exhort. Each had his own peculiar pompadour and/or mode of dress, and even their own gait as they “strutted the boards” – so to speak. Huffing and puffing and strutting like what they thought great pulpiteers, (that’s what these people refer to themselves as, as though it were something to be proud of ) should look like. Modulating their voices and even stuttering as they pranced around on the dais, they’d put on quite a show. One even had a hankie to wipe his brow on occasion as the klieg lights focused on his red, sweat drenched and tormented face.
After awhile women became emboldened and got in on the act as well. I well remember one who could cry on cue, and it would cause her heavy black mascara to run down her face. For all the money involved, even they began prancing and bellowing like a man. One of them, Joyce Meyer, does so in black skintight leather pants that leaves nothing to the imagination.
As time went on and I got to know the Word of God better and better, I began to realize that most of this type of preaching was theatrics. Is it any wonder Hollywood makes these characters the butt of their movies? It’s also no wonder level-headed people think all Christians are fools for believing in these charlatans. Even a child can see the humor and irony of it all, especially if they know of Jesus Christ. Jesus never acted that way, and neither did the Apostles. They shared the Gospel with love and compassion and admonished people to reconsider the error of their ways.
Today we’ve seen it all, and yet these folks just keep coming, even after being exposed, much like our politicians. This expose is not meant to harm anyone in any way. This isn’t about judging people, it’s about warning the young in Christ and the gullible who rely on existential experiences to confirm and try to strengthen their faith. But mature Christians know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, just like the Bible says.
Although there are many more apostates of various colors and with assorted agendas, I would alert you to the more obvious ones.
Number one on this list of audacious charlatans is Russell Howard Browne, “The Preaching Bartender.” Now here’s a guy who’s likened to a bartender dispensing mind numbing alcohol and causing people to get drunk. Although this man has no degree of any kind, he refers to himself as a “Doctor of Theology.” You can purchase a diploma like his on the internet for twenty bucks. This man was first introduced to the world by none other than Benny Hinn back in the nineties. I wouldn’t doubt that Mr. Browne had something on Benny and threatened to expose him unless he agreed to help him enter into his very own ministry, the “laughing” ministry. This is the way many politicians operate, by blackmail.
Benny Hinn, although being exposed time and again, continues to ravage the flock. The sheeple, however, don’t scatter but willingly give him their necks as they lie on their backs in the aisles. Utterly unbelievable! Now here is a man who over the years has predicted certain things would happen over and over, and of course they never did. “If a prophet prophecies something and it doesn’t happen, he is NOT speaking for God.” He has no humility or fear of God and continues to lie to an ignorant and bleating flock.
Creflo Dollar wants your millions to be able to buy a custom jet so he can fly around the country, bringing news of glad tidings to a church near you. Really?….why can’t he fly commercial like the rest of us?
There are many others out there, below are a partial list of questionable characters,
Joel Olsteen, who seldom if ever mentions repentance and salvation through faith in Christ.
Kenneth Copeland and wife, who are self-seeking worldly people.

Richard Bonnke, a man who claims to raise the dead.

Harfouche and wife, a couple of charismatics who are blinded by the glitter of the adoration.

Sid Roth, a messianic “puppeteer” with his own television show who also goes about “slaying” people in the spirit.
Joseph Prince, some say he teaches salvation without repentance. I won’t watch people like that for a minute. We are called to discern the spirits of such people.
People who subscribe to such teachings have itching ears to hear what they want to hear.
Jonathan Cahn gave us “The Harbinger” a couple of years ago. We weren’t sure if the Harbinger was fact or fiction, and we are still unsure. Now comes the Shemita. These two books were very interesting, but why hadn’t we heard of these phenomena before? “Rabbi” Cahn sure looks and sounds like the real thing, and is a great speaker. But then what is he doing hooking up with Russell Howard Browne, an obvious charlatan? Don’t birds of a feather flock together? If he’s real he’d do well to sever bonds with this charlatan and others like him..
Another questionable person is Rick Warren, who wants to unite Islam and Christianity, calling it Chrislam. These two faiths are totally incompatible. Christianity is a faith of love, caring and hope, while Islam is an ideology of heartless murder, confusion and despair.
To be sure there are many more hucksters out there, but the apostle Paul warned us that this would be so, saying “For false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise and show great signs and wonders, to seduce, so that if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived.”
By the way, a Christian woman who wants to produce films told me that the characters in the series of movies “Fast and Furious” were supposed to be Christians. Is that so? If so, where is the redeeming value in their films? This same person believes Christians should make family friendly films like “Brave Heart.” (?) She believes she will be able to produce such films in about three years. What do you think? Will America as we know it today even exist three years from now?
I recently watched “Fiddler on the roof” again after many years and I love it still. Now that’s filmmaking!

You wake-up in the morning with your clock radio playing one of your favorite tunes. A smile crosses your face as you reminisce about that place and time. You stretch and yawn, look out of the window at the rising sun. The sky is baby blue with a few white wispy clouds meandering across the heavens. Birds are chirping in the trees.

Then you begin to awaken and remember the things you heard on the news the night before, and you slowly come back to planet Earth and begin to face reality. It’s Saturday and today you have an appointment at the firing range. Someone tried to break into your house last week, and although you never owned a gun, you go out and buy one. You have morals and are a level headed individual. You would never use it unless it was to protect yourself and your loved ones.

We are obligated to defend our loved ones and neighbors, aren’t we?

Recently someone said, “Start locking your doors – the world is changing.” The world is indeed changing, and not for the better. When Obama was running for office, voting Americans wanted CHANGE and they got it – in spades! Change from what? Now we are experiencing change in all of our institutions and in our nation’s morality, real and scary change. To be sure, perversity and sin have always existed, but have you ever seen such rampant evil in your lifetime?

What used to be called good is bad, what’s bad is now called good. White is black and black is white and we have fifty shades of grey in between. Everyone is a law unto himself and people are doing what they well please. There are no absolutes anymore and people will do whatever they can get away with. The apostle Paul tells Timothy, “In the last days perilous times will come…”

Politicians are leaders whom we should be able to look up to. Today, politicos in high positions use their office to rake in the big bucks, and when accused of abusing their office they use terms such as “misspoke” and “I can’t remember.” They lie to excuse their bad behavior. The Scriptures say that this would be so in the end times, and I quote, “In the last days there will be corruption in high places.”

The daily news is coming at us so fast now that by the time we even begin to make sense of a lie or something sinister these folks are doing, something else comes up to make us forget the first injustice. It’s one thing after the other and these people know it, so they continue to play the game “Catch me if you can.”

And if that wasn’t enough, Obama’s henchmen have gone to Israel to try to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu in the elections there. Why? Is it because he is a Jew-hating Muslim? Now tens of thousands are protesting against Netanyahu, the man who would save them from extinction. Their mantra (not surprisingly) is CHANGE.

You can bet that this administration is going to pull out all the stops to try to destroy Israel and topple our country before they leave office. Already they’ve begun circumventing and changing our laws. With open borders they are welcoming in over thirty thousand Muslim Syrians and any subversive who wants to come into our country. Some, but not all of the atrocities our leaders commit can be read about on the internet.

Other news and items are quite astonishing as well. Some have devised New Age philosophies and religions and are absolute loonies, basing these ideologies on manmade thought and practice. That’s why it is imperative for Christians to know Scripture and keep studying Scripture until their dying day, and not only in Sunday school but at home as well. “Study to show yourself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of God.”

The problem is that in many Bible classes continue to cover the same old ground, Sunday after Sunday. The apostle Paul says, “For though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is still a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

Since there is a fierce struggle between the forces of evil and the God-fearing right today, the only alternative would be that all people everywhere come to know Christ. There are programs in the church that teach you how to share Christ with others. Some have come up with using drawings or using their fingers in the shape of a steeple for reaching the sheeple. Ridiculous!

Most of us don’t like being taken for granted, as though we were a number and people can instinctively sense this and are turned off by this methodology. Only by sharing the gospel out of concern can we hope to change the world for the better. But it may be too little too late.

Who would have thought that things could get out of hand so fast? The man who said “lock your doors because the world is changing” was right, and not for the better. In that same vein, Jesus said, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.”

Jesus is coming back soon and we who love His appearing will be taken up to meet Him in the clouds.

What is the Gospel? There are many good answers to this question, but lets look at what Paul taught us as “The Gospel”.  He clearly defines it in 1 Corinthians 15- 1-4

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

 

That is the Gospel. He died according to the scriptures, fulfilling countless prophecies exactly! That he was buried and then rose again, fulfilling prophecies.  This is amazing and when I read it as a young person I just kept on going, you could spend hours on this passage alone and try and search for all the scriptures that were fulfilled in his death and resurrection.  However, what I want to point you to today is in verse 2- “unless you have believed in vain”,  the Greek word used for vain is eikē–

Thayers Defines this word as

Jesus said, “ Fear of man is a dangerous trap.” Just what did He mean by saying that? Is that saying so ambiguous that we overlook its significance in the Biblical message?

Now it could be that some of us have decided one way or another, and what might seem right to some may not be right to others. Having been engaged in Street Ministry for many years I take it to mean being afraid of what others think of you. But my conversion over forty years ago was so dramatic I had to tell others about it. I couldn’t believe the peace I was experiencing after crying out to God at the top of my lungs deep in the woods at midnight. I buried my nose in the Bible from that point on. I had to know more about Him.

I may have had some apprehension about witnessing in the beginning, but seeing how people react to the Gospel of Jesus Christ I needn’t have been afraid. I’ve only been rejected twice.

Facing our fears is not an easy thing to do, but like the scriptures say, the more I did it the more confident I became. It’s become second nature to share my faith with any and everyone.

Let me tell you a little story about one such encounter in my street ministry.

It just so happens that I enjoy going out on a Saturday to do a little witnessing. I usually go where the people are, usually a strip mall or shopping center. A small group of Jehovah’s Witnesses were gearing up to go knocking on doors. They stayed in the shade of the few trees lining the parking lot, talking to one another and gathering their courage to go out and make converts. Many times they just spend the day talking amongst themselves, and unable to bolster their courage, they leave for the day. I usually take advantage of a group like this to share the Gospel with them. They more often than not have no reply except to try to foist their literature on me. I leave them knowing God is the one doing the convicting, and so my work is done.

However, on one particular Saturday years ago, as I was driving into the parking lot of a strip mall I spied a big brute of a young man sitting on the colorful patio chairs that were for sale in the front of the Winn Dixie store. He stood out like a sore thumb, with tattoos all over his body and even on his bald head. The tattoos were of snakes, human skulls and flowers. There was a grotesque beauty about them with their iridescent reds, blues and greens. The snakes looked real and sinister crawling up both of his arms. I really can’t remember the tattoo on his head, but I remember the big scar running from the back of his head to the front, just below his cranium. Somewhere on his body was written “Hells Angels.” I think it was on his T shirt.

As I was getting ready to make a left to drive into the parking lot I was asking the Lord for guidance in whom I should talk to. But the moment I laid eyes on him with his head in his hands, I knew he was the one. I parked and thought to myself, “Now you’ve done it big shot, what if this guy is carrying a switch blade in one of his motorcycle boots and is just waiting for someone to slice open?” I took a deep breath and approached him,

“Mind if I sit here,” as I backed up to the adjoining plastic chair.

“Help yourself,” the big burly thirty-some year old man replied.

I couldn’t help but notice his red swollen eyes when he turned to respond to me, so I asked, “Are you alright?”

The big brute replied, “I haven’t slept in days.”

“Why not?” I asked.

“I just got out of the hospital a couple of days ago. I crashed my motorcycle doing seventy and wasn’t expected to live, cracked my skull, got a steel plate put in. I was in a coma for thirty days.

“It looks like you’re going to make it,” I said reassuringly.

“I don’t know, but I sure could use some sleep,” he replied.

“Why don’t you take some sleeping pills?”

“I have plenty that the doctor gave me, but I’m afraid to take them. I’m afraid I won’t come back!”

“What do you mean?” I inquired.

“Well, when I was in the coma all I could see was blackness. I knew I was dead or dying. I was afraid, terrified really. I cried out to God. Oh God, SAVE ME. I have a little boy who I want to bring up. I don’t want to die!…. I don’t know how long it took for Him to answer, but it seemed like it happened right away. Now I’m afraid to go back to that dark place and never wake up again.”

It didn’t take long for my answer to come to mind and I asked him if he wanted perfect peace, a peace that would let him sleep. He answered, “Yes.” “If you repent of your past life and receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life He will forgive your sins and give you a peace that surpasses all understanding,” I said.

“But how do I do that?”

“Just repeat after me in your own words. Lord Jesus I’m sorry for the way I’ve been living and for ignoring you and God the father. Please forgive me and forgive my many sins. Give me the forgiveness and peace that you promised in the bible.”

The big tough Hells Angel blubbered the prayer in his own words, even as the Saturday afternoon shoppers swirled around us, impervious to our presence and caught up in their own thoughts and concerns.

I assured the man that he would have a peace that surpasses all understanding, and that he would sleep soundly tonight. I also told him to get baptized and find a bible-believing church and begin reading the scriptures. Thanking me, he agreed to all that I said, and let out a sigh of relief as if a huge weight had been removed from off his shoulders. We said our goodbyes and he left me to go home somewhere in central Florida and get some sleep.

This and many more such stories and scenes will appear in my book and depicted in my movie “The Prophecies” which is based on my street ministry. One of my favorite verses is; “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind.”

By the way,

A reader who saw the movie just informed me that the “Four Blood Moons” by John Hagee never once mentioned Jesus Christ! I can’t say since it isn’t showing anywhere near where I live.

I did get chided for mentioning Roma Downy’s Easter T.V. special in my last article, but since I don’t watch television, I only mentioned it in passing, like I did “The Four Blood Moons”.

I met the Messiah in 1983, and since then, my life has never been the same. It hasn’t been all wonderful. There were hurts and pain, but the difference was that I knew that the Lord was with me through everything. He became my life and His Word, my sustenance.

I had been taught in synagogue to be very proud of my heritage as a Jew, but it meant nothing to me back then. Actually, the constant anti-Semitic remarks by kids in my neighborhood and school; fist fights in the street over being called names — I wasn’t exactly ecstatic about being a Jew. Also, the Old Testament confused me when I attempted to read it.

I also learned in the synagogue that Christians hated us, and they always had. You see, Jews look at Christianity as one unit. They have no idea about being truly born again from above — having a heart of stone being made into a heart of flesh, and God’s own Holy Spirit coming and dwelling within us. Jews look back at history and see Jewish blood spilled in the name of Christianity. It was only on this side of the Cross, that I realized that being a Christian had nothing to do with denomination, or how ornate a church building was. None of that was important. My question to people was “Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?” And it was only after knowing Jesus, that I appreciated and loved being a Jew.

Jews heard about people like Corrie Ten Boom, but I truly believe that they just thought of Corrie as one of a kind – a special lady. They were unable to see that it was the Lord in Corrie’s life and heart who made her into the loving woman she was, willing to sacrifice herself for the Jewish people. My people could not discern that some people were truly Christian, while most were just going through the motions.

But I think that Israeli Jews are beginning to be able to discern the Evangelicals from all others at last. They see that there are certain Christians who really love Israel. Bibi knows it and many others too. I think this will be used by the Lord to bring more and more Jews to know Him.

Before I was saved, I had always had the feeling that the Catholics were the holy people. I suppose some of that came from their mass, which in many ways was like a service in the synagogue. Everything seemed so perfect, but I was searching for Jesus. I did go to a Catholic church to find Jesus, although that was short lived. I did not see Him there.

AMERICAN JEWS

I have heard so many born again believers ask why most Jews vote leftist, and why most of them stand with Obama, even in 2012, after all he has said and done against Israel. The answer is not complex. I wish it was complex. The simple truth is that most Jews in America are secular Jews. They don’t believe the Bible and many are agnostic or atheists. My own sisters do not believe in God, and they hate me for believing in Jesus. I find it interesting that my older sisters never received any instruction in Judaism, but my parents decided to send me. I am grateful that they did. I believe that the Lord’s Hand was on me all through my life.

My dad had grown up in Boston, and was from an orthodox family. He read and spoke Hebrew fluently. My mom was totally secular. Her parents had been gamblers in D.C. and mom was regularly sent on a bus, at twelve years old, to pay off her parents’ debts. My parents met at the Jewish Community Center in D.C. at the beginning of WWII. They married soon after that.

Dad gave up his orthodox ways for mom. So there we were, a secular Jewish family. My parents had told us that as good Jews, we should be Democrats. It was expected. It was important. They made me believe that the Democrats were the party of compassion. I guess they missed the history of FDR sending away a ship of 900 frantic Jews from Europe, wanting to come into America to escape the coming slaughter. FDR told Congress that the U.S. had enough Jews. Those Jews went back to Europe, and eventually to the camps.

I guess they forgot that in the miraculous 6 day war of 1967, President Johnson (Democrat) said that Israel would stand alone if they defended themselves. He didn’t realize that God helped Israel. He didn’t care.

My dad, having had Hebrew instruction, and a love for Torah, was different. He loved Israel. I remember during the 1960’s, he had a picture of Nasser in our utility room — we threw darts at it. Dad loved Israel and sent money each year to them. I’m not sure if mom knew that he did this. But Dad was still a Democrat.

When God saved me in 1983, I had been a registered Democrat. It had never occurred to me to be anything else. But as I read the Word every day, I realized that I could not reconcile the platform of the Democrats with God’s Word. I changed my political affiliation to Republican.

Mom told me in a stern voice, that she could take my believing in Jesus, but she could not accept me being a Republican. She exclaimed “I can’t believe I gave birth to a Republican!”

Before dad died in 1997, the Lord allowed me to lead him in prayer to be saved. I had witnessed a lot to Dad when they moved to Florida for retirement. I sent him books and letters about Yeshua.

He wrote back to me that he was so proud that one of his children loved the Ten Commandments. He didn’t mention Jesus, but on his deathbed he prayed the prayer of repentance and trusted Yeshua for his salvation.

ISRAELI JEWS

In Jerusalem, there are quite a few orthodox Jews. They are conservative. They believe the Old Testament, and they know that God promised the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac. About 10% of Israel is orthodox.

In contrast to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is much like the majority of Jews here in America. Some of them want to split Israel and even Jerusalem for peace. They have no idea that it will not bring peace. They have no idea that it angers God when His land is divided.

And then there are the moderates, who love Israel and know the dangers which encircle them. They want to be safe. They don’t want to die. They want a strong leader like Netanyahu.

WHAT IS COMING

No person knows the time of the Rapture of the Church. But we do see the signs that this world is getting ready for something big. Anti Semitism is at its highest point, worldwide. There are wars and rumors of wars all around. There are earthquakes and all sorts of natural disasters. One of the most important fulfillments of prophecy was in 1948, when God brought His people from the four corners of the earth, back to their own land.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.” Amos 9:13-15 (KJV)

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 23: 37-39 (KJV)

I believe that those words will be among the sweetest that our Lord will ever hear.

My Jewish brothers and sisters, my prayer for you is that your eyes will be opened, and that you will understand that your Messiah came, and you knew Him not. He is Yeshua (Jesus). He gave his life for you. You were hardened for a time, so that the Gentiles could come into the Kingdom. You see, the plan of God was that through us (Jews) the whole world would be offered Salvation.

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:26 (KJV)

When the last Gentile comes in, then your eyes will be opened and you will see Him clearly. He adores you!

I don’t know why He revealed Himself to me at this time. I’m so glad He did, so that I can tell you that this is TRUTH. Now do you understand why the born-again Christians love Israel so much? The Law, the prophets and Yeshua came from the Jewish people!

What’s not to love?

I pray that many will read this, and that the Lord will draw them to Himself and they will be saved.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Shalom b’Yeshua!

You read the headlines on the internet, “Isis urges U.S. brothers to kill 100 American soldiers and claims to have their names and addresses.” I sincerely hope that this is a false flag or misinformation, if you will. Islamist radicals often use tactics like this to instill terror into the hearts of nonbelievers of Islam. But knowing that terrorist cells exist in the United States I would be hard pressed to say that this is only a scare tactic. Today, anything is possible.

It’s understandable that this threat would make any military personnel edgy. I would urge American Christians everywhere to pray for our men and women in uniform as well as their immediate families.
Islamic terrorists will continue to harass us in one way or another. They are here in the U.S. to explore ways to destroy us. Not only are there terrorist cells in our country, but incarcerated Muslims are converting many disenfranchised American prisoners to Islam. Muslim extremists are making converts by the truckload and we are FOURTH in the world in promoting jihad on face book! It seems that Islamic extremists are hard at work in our country. We are thousands of miles away from the heat of battle, but we are in a battle for hearts and minds, a spiritual battle, “for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against wickedness in high places.”

Among the other young men being converted are those who won’t work or are privileged kids in universities where godlessness is taught. Many of them have been brought up by atheists, alcoholics, two mommies, two daddies or drug addled parents. They have turned to a life of crime and dissipation, not realizing the ultimate results of their actions. Far too many of them have no morals or foundational faith in Christ, which makes them little more than brute beasts. You can hear it in their so-called rap music lyrics, lyrics that boast of killing and raping.

Is God giving mankind over to a reprobate mind that the Bible warns about? Obviously this is what is happening with Jihadists in other parts of the world, otherwise how could a person kill and dismember innocent children or set fire to a living, breathing human being? Not to mention beheadings and stoning women to death. It’s beginning to look like the pits of hell have been opened and demons are wreaking havoc across the globe.

Nevertheless, it’s my understanding that some Muslims are having an encounter with the risen Christ in personal visitations. Only God can save them by showing up in person in a vision. I suspect though that this is only happening to those who still have some light in their spiritual lives, but don’t know any better and are only going along with the crowd, but they are few.

To continue, it was reported the other day by some members of the U.N. that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had issued a Fatwah against nuclear proliferation. But anyone who knows anything about a Fatwah knows that it has to be put in writing to be valid – and it hasn’t been. But, even if it were put in writing it wouldn’t really mean a thing since the Quran says that lies can be told to subvert the enemy of Islam. Furthermore, the U. N. is made up primarily of Muslim nations!

We know that Satan is the father of lies and so it stands to reason that these people are doing his will and not the will of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the true creator of heaven and earth. I would suspect that Iran has nuclear bomb capacity even as we speak and are only waiting for the right time and circumstance to carry out a nuclear attack on Israel. If Israel didn’t have the military might to protect itself, this would have already happened.

We also know that Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran and are ready to attack northern Israel from Lebanon and Syria. Years ago Lebanon was overrun by Muslim immigrants when they were offered shelter there from warring factions years ago. Thus, Hezbollah immigrated, infiltrated and eventually took over that nation from top to bottom.

I find it hard to believe that some apostate Christians think we serve the same God. Allah is the moon god and on their flag is a depiction of the crescent moon. But no, I don’t hate Muslims. I despise their satanic ideology.
I remember once several years ago an old Pakistani woman asked me to pray for her dying husband. I knew she was a Muslim and she knew I was a Christian. “I don’t care what you are, but please oh, please pray for my dying husband,” she wailed. Being a born again Christian street evangelist I felt obligated to do so, and embraced the crying woman who laid her head on my chest while crying openly. When I asked her what her husband’s name was she replied, “Mohammad.” So there I was praying for Mohammad in Jesus name!
I told you that story so that you wouldn’t accuse me of being an Islamophobe. I know God loves all of his creation, but there can be no compromise with Islam who would kill our children and families. Their intent is to kill, maim and destroy all who are opposed to them. “The devil goes around but to kill and destroy.”
These things must be revealed so that you are fully prepared for any eventuality. So I strongly suggest you get your life in order and prepare to meet your maker in the rapture or in death, whichever comes first.

By the way, on a lighter note, I actually saw a good movie today, a Christian one at that! The name of the movie was “Do You Believe”. (Before the movie began we had to sit through a wave of previews of new Christian movies that will be screening in the near future and of course one is a football movie.) “Do You Believe” was pretty well done with a number of professional actors filling the primary roles. It was obvious to me that the lighting, sound and camera work were professionally done, as well as the editing. The story was well written too! For all the aforementioned reasons it proved to be entertaining. This is not your typically unprofessional Christian fare, and they did as well as can be expected; but alas, it was not evangelical enough for me.
Roma Downey and her husband, who are Catholics, have a continuation of the New Testament coming out during Easter on television. Also, the movie “Four Blood Moons” was mentioned during the trailers. That may be coming out on DVD. I’ll let you know.

Even after a number of setbacks, I am going to try to get my evangelical films, calling for repentance, made for “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

We owe it to our loved ones, friends and neighbors, and fellow Americans to warn them about the days that lie ahead and the need to repent, based on Biblical prophecies in these, the last of the last days. So that they, “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near” like it says in Isaiah 55:6.
