Obama World President? Forerunner to Antichrist!

Jan Markell of Olive Tree Views, wrote a recent article, speaking of all the talk on the internet, and in newspapers throughout the world that have given such accolades to Barack Hussein as "Messiah" and "World President."  When he campaigned in 2008, he spoke to masses around the world with the promises of world unity.  But clearly, he has yet to bring that.

Eventually the antichrist will accomplish this, so Obama’s efforts are a run-up to it. During the campaign, he mesmerized the world. Not everyone was fooled, but the world is so longing for a “man with a plan,” a “Mr. Fix-it,” that they bought his redistribution of wealth statements and overlooked a dozen dangerous associations and said they just didn’t matter because this was the closest the world had come in modern history to this so-called “President of the world.” Shortly after the 2008 election, Tunisia was just one country of several that headlined the story, “Today America elects ‘the president of the world.’ “

Markell goes on and shows through the research of David Horowitz, that most of the world is in favor of Mr. Obama.  But in the article, Markell concludes that he still doesn't qualify for the ungodly title Antichrist.  This man is still to come.

She cites the sentiment off someone's blog: There is coming that “single leader.” Could it be that the world is turning into such a mess so that he — the antichrist — will soon come along and say, “I have the answer to solve all these problems”? Obama’s “messiahship” can’t come close to that of the antichrist who will be demonically-appointed to pull a million rabbits out of hats. So what we see now is just a microcosm of what will really happen. [bold mine]

Jefferson Supported Government Sanction of Christian Ministry

Much has gone on in our day about "seperation of Church and State" to the extent that most Americans are confused on this topic, and believe that the government, if anything, should squash down the Christian religion and make room for religous diversity, neverminding that the great religion that founded our great nation teaches that there is only one narrow way of salvation. 

Paul Barreca did an article in the The Daily Journal which is a brief treatment on how Christian Morality is the source of America's greatness.  Firstly, he clears up the confusion for us on the matter of the phrase, "seperation of Church and State".

The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in any of the founding documents, either at the state or national level. The phrase is not in the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, or the constitution of any of the individual states. The first known documentation of this phrase is in a letter from President Jefferson written to an association of Baptist churches in Danbury Connecticut. The phrase lay dormant and virtually un-referenced until Justice Hugo Back quoted Jefferson (out of context) in "Everson vs. Board of Education, 1947."


Barreca tells us that: "The First Amendment was not written to shield American citizens from public religious activities, which were normal, frequent and practiced without objection until recently [historically]."  He goes on in the article to point out that if anyone was restricted in the First Ammendment, it is the Congress, protect U.S. citizens from Federal intrusion into public religious life.  Much as it was when our first forebears fled the countries of Europe, where the State, the governments were tied to the Roman Catholic and Anglican church, which was imposed upon all citizenry.  To follow the teachings of the Bible instead, and not comply with the government religion, was to face fines, imprisonment, torture and death as heretics.

The founders routinely cited their religious beliefs and called upon Americans to practice religious virtue. Thomas Jefferson, who is regarded by secularists as a proponent of a secular society, actually supported religious involvement in government. In a treaty with the Kaskaskia Indians, Congress provided for a church building and a Christian chaplain. President Jefferson signed the bill into law and authorized that the government pay $300 to build a church.
It seems that those in America who want to remove the Bible and Christian instruction from school have the law and America's great legacy inverted.  Those in power now do not want this known by the masses, as they seek to promote their Marxist agendas, which turn the people to the government, rather than to knowing and excercising their own, God-given rights and freedoms known and practiced under Christianity.

As this is removed from public schools and instruction, our country continues to descend into immorality, strife and poverty.  America, "choose life, that you may live... by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him" (Deuternomy 30:19-20).

Book Review Link on "Putting Away Childish Things"

For many who don't know Marcus Borg: He's a man who calls himself Christian, which is an oxymoron, because he denies elements central to the gospel such as the divinity of Christ and the virgin birth.  He has also served on the very liberal group who did the Jesus Seminar, which tried to undermine the validity and inerrancy of scripture. 

This man, a false teacher, has written his first work of fiction, no doubt to mislead many from the true faith.
Lighthouse trails has posted a book review of Borg's work by free-lance writer Ted Kyle:


As a story, this is not an easy read, being burdened with its load of liberal doctrine. But as a literary device to lead the unwary into swallowing that doctrine, along with the vulnerable student, Erin, it may succeed very well. Readers should be aware that this is an agenda-driven book. Virtually everything in it is there for a purpose.

Is Islam for Women? Part II

This brief blog is a little addendum to the previous blog on whether Islam if for Women?  Ever notice how all the stronly feminist groups say nothing when it comes to Islam's bad treatment of women?  Even though it is sanctioned in their religion, and by their "prophet," whom Jesus would label as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

One woman is speaking up, and speaking up of  her unbelief of the liberal feminist groiups that are remaining quiet on this issue!

Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America (CWA), is shocked at how Islam treats women. "Concerned Women for America has been vocal in denouncing the appalling way that Muslims treat women, and we're sorry that the feminists are not willing to join us in denouncing radical Islam," she comments.
http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=992958; accessed May 01,2010.

To be sure, Pamela Geller, of Atlas Shrugs also speaks out almost all facets of Islam.  Americans, you love democracy, freedom... if we allow Islam to make headway into this country as a political force, as in Europe, look for America to be further fundamentally transformed.  And Hillary Clinton thinks she cracked the glass ceiling?  In Islam that ceiling is about a 1,000 ft. thicker!  Where's Hillary when you need her?


Men within Christianity, as the "head" of their spousal union, are supposed to honor women as the weaker partner, so that their prayers will not be hindered.  Marriage was ordained by God among the societies of earth as a picture of the covenental relationship He has (or desires to have) with humanity.  As Christ is the head of the Church (Eph 4:23) so the husband is to be the head of the wife.  And as the Church lovingly, desirously, and zealously submits herself to her head, Christ, so the wife is to do so to her husband within a marriage covenant (Eph 4:24).
 
The reason most women out there do not want to submit to their husbands (well, there's several factors), but mostly is that the husband do not know or follow Christ as their leader, Savior and Lord.  When the men do this, then God gives them the ability to be a servant-leader in the marriage relationship.
 
And within Islam, in which salvation is merited by works observed or performed in life (with no real bearing on the heart), salvation is only guaranteed if a person dies in battle with an infidel.  It's enough to get the liberal anti-America groups to be quiet!  Seriously though, if one desires to be saved from the injustice, iniquity and inequality in the world, they agree with God about their sinfulness (lying, cursing, sexual immorality, taking God's name in vain, hatred, greed, etc.  Gal. 5:19-21), and surrender control of their lives to their Lord, Jesus Messiah.  He came once to take away sins, for all who place their faith in His work on the cross, where, according to scripture, Jesus died in your place, taking your punishment on the cross. (Rom 3:23-25; 1 John 2:2, 4:10).
 
16 “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.

Is Islam for Women? Terrorists seek another 'Jihad Jane'

Bloomberg did an article on this. 

Their goal to widen the pool of prospective terrorists beyond traditional Middle East and Asia sources is part of a search for “white al-Qaeda” activists who could foil racial profiling and initiate attacks, according to Evan Kohlmann, a consultant with FlashPoint Partners, a New York-based security research company.

Evidently, all their good suicide bombers are gone.  Who would've thought?  HEY, WANNA KILL YOURSELF?  SIGN UP, GREAT BENEFITS!  Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that Muslims say if the women are good and obedient here on earth, Allah may allow them to turn into a man in heaven, assuming he lets them in!

Women, whoever you are think about this.  You think Islam is beneficial for women?  According to Muhammed, Hell is MOSTLY populated by WOMEN!  Bukhari vol. 1, no. 28 "The prophet said "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful."

Bukhari vol. 1, no. 301 "Allah's apostle... said, "O Women!  Give alms, as I have seen that majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you women... I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you."
Bukhari vol. II, no. 161  "The Prophet then said... "I also saw the Hell-fire, and I had never seen such a horrible site.  I saw that most of the inabitants were women."

Ladies, think about that!   Do you want to give your lives for a religion like that?

Honoring which Name?

Luke 13:34-35 34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it! 35 "Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

John 5:43 43 "I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem, the city that rejected Him, and ultimately put Him to death. The Jews will not honor the Messiah, but they will honor one who comes in his own name, to their own destruction. The man of lawlessness will come and will make a covenant of peace with the Jews for 7 years (Dan. 9:27). They will honor this man, but to their own destruction. After 3 ½ yrs., this man will declare himself to be God, and will behead all who do not bow to him. Not until Israel has gone through 3 ½ yrs of the worst persecution in history will they cry out, “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD.”

Prophecy Fulfilled and Headlines Report It

5 Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and rejoice, because the riches of the sea will become yours, and the wealth of the nations will come to you.

Isaiah 60:5 (HCSB)

18 Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going forth, And, Issachar, in your tents. 19 "They will call peoples to the mountain; There they will offer righteous sacrifices; For they will draw out the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand."

Deuteronomy 33:18-19 (NAS)


Everywhere the headlines are replete with prophecy, which are not meant to predict the future, per se, but rather recognize the times you’re in. On this blog I’ve mentioned several prophecies that are to occur during the last times when God’s people Israel are back in the land He promised their forefathers, who all died in faith, looking for the city that is to come (Heb. 11:10, 16).

It seems the discovery of natural gas offshore of Haifa, Israel is not estimated to be in the TRILLIONS of cubic feet! Wow. And many of the gas and oil companies are estimating that there is also a very large store of oil, which seems to make sense of Deut. 33:19.

"It happens all the time," Zeidman said. "We see in the US that the moment a company discovers oil or gas that can be transported, there's a crazy rush to the region by other companies, and that's a function of the size of the reserves found. Around the world, as soon as Noble goes to a place, many other companies follow in its wake. The prospects here are amazing, and I have no doubt that we'll see an economic boom, and a rush of more companies to Israel from overseas following Noble."

Which, this totally makes sense, if there are a vast supply of resources, much like in the early days of North America, when men were discovering the vast, untapped resources, there will be another “gold rush.” And when men and corporations begin to move to Isreal to tap its resources, they will also move their families, start ones, and increase the demand of goods and resources for Israel, bring “the wealth of the nations” to it.

Now I don’t believe that this is the total fulfillment of Is. 60:5, but think it is ultimately fulfilled in the coming of the Messiah, and the establishing of His Millenial reign upon the earth.


22 “I will accomplish it quickly in its time.” Isaiah 60:22 (HCSB)
