Prophecy 7

                                                         
                                                                   PROPHECY 7

    Today we're going to explore why some people are rejected by God. We're
going to be ENTIRELY biblical about this. We're also going to define terms
dealing with this rejection. Surprisingly, this has little to do with sins such
as drunkenness, adultery, and many other common sins.

    You may be familiar with the term "hardened hearts", which appears early
on in scripture. But what does it really mean? Look at Ex. 8:32. "But Pharaoh
hardened his heart at this time also; neither would he let the people go." This
was after the Egyptians were beset by swarms of flies, and Moses asked the
Lord to remove the flies. The Pharaoh broke his promise and refused to let
the Israelites go.

    I'm going to quote more scripture, but you should look up some of these
yourself. God would not have mentioned hardened hearts so many times in
the Old and New Testaments if the subject wasn't actually critical. The most
important lesson here is that hardened hearts is the ONE LAST REASON
the United States is today, right now, being judged just as Egypt was judged.

    While I take a break to get some ice cold ginger ale, look up some of the
scripture dealing with hardened hearts: Job 9:4; Mark 6:52; John 12:40;
Hebrews 3:13. Also see Ex. 4:21. Ps. 95:8, Hebrews 3:8. There's more:
Prov. 21:29, Prov. 28:14, Romans 9:1. God had a great deal to say and warn
us about this condition.

    Before I get to the term reprobate, we need to understand how hardened
hearts apply to committed and professing Christians. There is no doubt how
the term applies to the unsaved. They are lost already. Consider this very
seriously: a committed, saved Christian cannot have a hardened heart. The
Holy Spirit will prevent it.

    The "perhaps" saved professing Christian will be rejected by God even
if the individual thinks he has made the commitment to Christ. The Holy
Spirit has His own spiritual security scanner, and He is not fooled. If the
commitment is not 100%, the Holy Spirit will know, and that pretending
believer will be REJECTED.

    There will be many rejections, because people who fool themselves as
being good people and bible readers don't understand what happens to
them when they develop hardened hearts. Hardened hearts don't happen
overnight; they develop as a person makes decisions that are unscriptural
even though they don't realize they are following their carnal desires.

    In fact, many people with hardened hearts freely quote scripture to
support their carnal desires and opinions. They make a one verse quote,
but don't understand the group of verses that explain God's Word. In
so doing, they pat themselves on the back because the world now knows
God's explanation of the matter.

    Unfortunately, this situation exists in the church, where many denominations
have established their own rules and even rewritten scripture to promulgate
their (cursed) programs. Yes, cursed, because Revelation warns in 22:18,19
that anyone who deletes or adds to His Word are lost. Unfortunately, this
condition exists in our politics. For many years now, it has become a "must"
that every candidate claim to be a saved Christian and just chock full of faith.
If they really were, money (campaign funds) would take a back seat to a
discussion of issues.

    Hardened hearts frequently come about because the person isn't telling
the truth, and keeps repeating the untruth over and over until they actually
believe they are telling the truth. At this point they become REPROBATE.
More about this term a bit later. It means they now believe what they are
saying, and they have been rejected by God. Once rejected, they are
forever rejected, If you are a professing (not committed) Christian, you
are now rejected. You didn't care enough to become Christ-like.

    I have a personal experience to show how it works. At one time we
employed a young lady now and then for a day when we had to be absent
from our home and business. There was a road on both ends of our farm,
and she lived in a house along that road adjacent to our land. It was a very
short walk from end to end with a small creek in the middle. A big oak tree
had fallen across the little stream, providing a neat bridge, although the
stream only had a few inches of water.

    One day when she finished work early, she decided to walk home across
the field. when she walked across the tree bridge, she almost lost her
balance, and her glasses fell in the creek. She told her mother most of what
happened, but said we forced her to walk home, something we never did.
Her mother took us to court, but lost the case. The girl had lied. That was
when we discovered her entire family sort of lived on a collection of lies
which they truly did believe.

    Most people who develop hardened hearts have personal agendas,
and develop information and stories to support that agenda. It is really
a personal public relations campaign. They usually do not research the
subject, or only research for answers they desire. They often make bigoted
statements and push their points by rudeness. They frequently jump right
in to agree when someone makes a statement favoring their delusion.

    This is a very serious issue in churches, where ultra conservatives continue
to believe that being a good person is the path to heaven. Christ told us and
showed us that NONE of us are good enough to enter heaven. Your good
deeds (or intended good deeds), may be evidence of your commitment to
Christ, or may be the limit of your professed commitment.

    When you have continued along this path for a period of time, you become
reprobate. From that time on, the Holy Spirit will not work for you,and you will
become one of the FALLING AWAY people. Reprobate has been a Christian
term for centuries.

    Some of the meanings of reprobate include "rejected as not of standard
purity or fineness; condemned." Take a serious look at this first definition of
reprobate. Note condemned, which means something not acceptable AND IN
NEED OF DESTRUCTION AND REPLACEMENT. This term is easily understood
when applied to property, especially housing. Even though the outside of the
structure appears to be acceptable, often the inside is not because of faulty
electrical wiring, plumbing, unsafe foundation and structure, trash, and other
safety shortcomings.

    Your Christian walk may have many problems, not much different than the
condemned house. While the housing problem is physical, your problem may
be entirely spiritual. One of the most serious problems I see is the lack of
compassion by professing Christians. If something doesn't touch their personal
lives, they come to rapid conclusions based on skimpy facts and the opinion
of a loudmouth.

    Some Christians claim only one political party has all the committed and
professing Christians. Everyone else is not a real patriot. I invite them to visit
cemeteries to see the graves of soldiers who fought for everybody, both for all
Christians and people of other or no faiths. I keep hearing that social security
is an entitlement program. I worked almost 60 years before retiring, and had
to--by law--pay an amount out of every paycheck into the social security
retirement fund. That money was MINE, and has earned interest ever since
it was deposited. I repeat--that money is MINE. It does not come out of anybody
Else's pocket. When it is used to pay other government debts, it is being plainly
stolen.

    I have read story after story about our debt problem, especially quite a number
by financial institutions. they all offer advice--at a cost--to protect your assets,
which usually begin at the$500,000 level. Not one of these corporations, nor
any member of Congress or the President mentioned anything about the teachings
of scripture. Oh, they talk about faith and how God has spoken to them. Mostly,
they talk about how to keep corporations and the wealthy on the path to more
wealth.

    It's difficult to separate religion from politics, because history has shown us
that the two always come together. Unfortunately money and power also go
to the winners. The winners are not necessarily on God's side, but they usually
bask in a shower of "blessings". Hitler didn't persecute Christians, he persecuted
Jews. He convinced the German people he was right.

    God stands for TRUTH. The people who push their own bigoted agendas fight
this vigorously, because committed Christians are the "light of the world", truth.
The success of the reprobate Christians and pretenders is being permitted by
God because it is a separating element of judgment and part of the falling away
in the earlier stages of the end times. This falling away has speeded up so much
in the past few years, that we are reminded to keep oil in our lamps or we will
miss the rapture.

FLOOD WARNINGS

                                                      FLOOD WARNINGS

    It's interesting that people set their priorities not on scripture and science, the two positives to guide us. Read this little bit of history to enable you to (maybe) come to a conclusion.

    In the late 50s, the Danville Area School Board voted to build a new high school on a field known as the Cinder Tip in Danville, PA. This area is flat, and while dry, it borders on Mahoning Creek. This creek floods now and then, usually without causing much trouble. When the Susquehanna River, into which the Mahoning empties just a short distance away, backs up, the combination of the Mahoning rapid flood flow and the Susquehanna's back-up spell big trouble.

    Although there had been no serious flooding in that particular era, a
serious look at a map indicated the Cinder Tip was in a flood plain. In fact,
that area was known as the CinderTip because its elevation had been raised
by cinders as landfill.

    The field was available at an affordable price, and the school district
needed a new and larger high school. This was a period with major school
district consolidations, and the Danville Area had brought several rural
districts into its jointure. There were 10 districts, including
Danville, although a few of these rural municipalities had no school, and were already joined
with a partner.

    When the time came for the Jointure Board to vote on the new school site,
there was only one director who opposed the location. Walter H. Loncosky,
the long-time Derry Township director, told the board the land wasn't good
for a major structure because of the fill, and the building would be subject to
serious future flooding. The board vote was 49-1. Other board members told
him 49 couldn't be wrong with only one opposed.

    Loncosky, a Christian and avid student of scripture, believed the bible told
them not to be swayed by their personal desires for a quick contract for the
school. He also pointed out the scientific facts on the maps, clearly
pointed out the new structure would be in an area likely to be damaged by floods.

     Everybody else wanted the new school, and claimed there was little likelihood
of a flooding problem. There was considerable growth in the area, and both
developers and contractors were eager to build. Some projects were proposed
for sites that were marginal flood plain areas. After major floods occur, it is
necessary to remap areas to determine changes in the landscape and water
courses. The Planning Commission held a public hearing to take comments
as they desired to make building sites friendlier to developers.

    A planning expert from Harrisburg was present at the hearing to take
comments from citizens and officials, as well as to explain changes the planners
wanted to make. There were few serious objections to the proposed changes,
except for the testimony from the Montour County Conservation District
director. That, friends, was me, the son of Walter H Loncosky, who warned
the school district prior to the construction on Cinder Tip.

    Having worked many years as a conservationist locally, the USDA, the
Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission, and being a state certified
conservationist as well as an inspector of erosion and sediment, I had a lot
to say. I warned them they were courting disaster by giving in to big money
in the hands of developers and contractors. I pointed to flood damages in
previous years, such as 1935. I also listed the rapid increase of paving for
roads, parking lots and other uses. Every time a development goes in, there
is less land to absorb water. More and more trees are being removed. They
also are a main absorber of water and hold soil in place.

    The planner said serious floods only happened in 100 year intervals, and
it was unlikely we would see one anytime soon. He said they were taking
precautions that would be adequate. The planning commission would meet
in the near future to accept an updated plan.

    Now, fast forward to June, 1972. Agnes visited the area and brought record
flooding. There was little joy in noting the preliminary plans for the
county were in that planning expert's desk as it floated down the Susquehanna River.
Harrisburg was flooded, and our entire area was devastated. The school on
Cinder Tip was flooded, and so was the entire Fourth Ward of Danville. My
wife and I toured much of the flood area, taking notes and pictures of
the damage for newspapers.

    The entire planning commission resigned. Many prominent people were on
that commission, and I know I was not appreciated in their circles. The truth
always hurts. After the water receded, the Army sent a sprayer in a
deuce-and-a-half to spray for mosquitoes. I guided them around the county and viewed even more
damages than I had seen previously. We got a new planning commission with a
better attitude.

    People never seem to learn. The bible tells us over and over that we live in
roughly a cycle of four successions. We establish a building period; that brings
prosperity; next comes a period of good living when we believe we accomplished
all this prosperity without God's help, and we "fall away" from our Christian
fundamentals. Finally, we ignore God's warnings and are judged to fail.

    They fixed up the new high school and later used it as the junior high,
building yet another, bigger school for high school students. This one they
built on a hill, but still didn't escape water problems. The engineer who
installed a settlement pond to control runoff water installed the overflow
pipe upside down. When there was a heavy rainstorm, the water overflowed
the pond and caused damage to a residential area just below the school site.
Their resident inspector had a sideline job and didn't tend his resident inspector
duties very seriously.

    The school district and local officials realized they needed to shore up
protection for the now junior high, and levees and flood gates were installed.
Nothing is fail safe. When Lee paid his visit, the flood gates didn't hold, and
even sand bagging didn't stop the water. The junior high was flooded again.
This is the second 100-year flood to hit the area in 39 years. Worse yet, these
most recent floods have set new records.

    Several levees came within inches of being topped. Our planners are
constrained by money problems. Officials and many taxpayers do not want
to spend the money for floodwalls. The cost of recovering from floods is so
high--and in many cases heartbreaking--that steps must be accepted and
taken by officials to prevent as much as possible of this devastation.

    Local taxpayers only need to look at the cost of cleaning up after these
floods, and the repairs and restoration of land, roads and property. No matter
how much it hurts, precautions such as a floodwall must take place. There
is no room for leaders without guts at any level.

Rev. Walbear.

THE SNARE

    Did you learn a lot about snares while studying Revelation? I fear you were
so interested in the end times, you passed by the snares warnings without giving
them too much thought. The snares, of course, are the faults Christ found existing
in the church. Snares are the devices Satan uses to catch us and prevent us
from becoming committed Christians. There are more than 20 places in scripture
that tell us to be aware of snares.

    I'm postponing briefly more information about the New Apostolic Reformation,
because we need to understand how Satan's snares work. There are two major
methods of snare science. The first is repetition, and the second is patient
ignorance. See Ecclesiastes 9:12, "For man also does not know his time: Like
fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men
are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them."

    See also, Luke 21:34,35. When you read these two verses, I can hear you
saying to yourself, "I'm not drunken, nor do I carouse. I'm a serious person who tries
to follow God's Word." Don't forget the second part of that admonition, that warns
about cares of this life. Scripture tells us, "But take heed to yourselves, lest your
hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and
that Day come on you unexpectedly, For it will come as a snare on all those who
dwell on the face of the whole earth."

    For most of us, it's quite easy to avoid common pitfalls of sin such as overuse
of alcohol, too much food, stealing, etc. The tough part is overcoming the cares
of the world and not researching the information diligently presented to us in an
effort to persuade us to take certain action. This is true both in church and politics.

    Let's look at the use of repetition. This is a major factor in advertising and money.
Advertisers think up more and more ways to get their product name in your mind
by sight and sound. Jingles, songs, video, endorsements and samples attempt to
keep you continuously aware of their product. You may even hum some of the
jingles. It works. After a period of time you accept the message whether you use it
or not. The same could be said about church. You may even learn liturgy and
repeat it without thinking about the meaning. I've used "falling away" to try to get
you to understand the sequence of end times. A political example is "entitlements."
Politicians have bundled social security with several other programs that are entirely
different. Social security is not a gift. It is money a worker and employer pay into a
fund by law, that is placed in an account earning interest. It is money the worker
received for work, and the employer's contribution was computed as part of the
total wage. It is a retirement program for many people who can never earn enough
during working years to have a pension or IRA. Social security is paid for by the
person receiving it, not the taxpayers. It is not taxpayer money. In religion, in the
church, the snare is the promise of peace and understanding through Chrislam.

    Now let's look at patient ignorance. This is simply a matter of refusing to recognize
a problem or situation for an extended period of time. You refuse to discuss the
subject. Lawyers use this to delay cases that could cost their clients large sums of
money. Two points for their un-Christian action: expenses may prevent the claimant
from continuing the case, or the claimant and/or witnesses may die. This is carnal
action. Another example was a hot button subject just a few years ago: bringing the
troops home and getting out of the "wars". You don't hear much about this any more.
The politicians who talked about this didn't know how difficult it could and would be,
and when they did some research, they dropped the subject. We probably would have
little or no national debt if we weren't involved in this quicksand venture. Once you
venture into quicksand, it's almost impossible to get out. If politicians are so concerned
about national debt and cutting funding, why don't they talk about the trillions spent
on these unwinable conflicts? Congress never created any funding specific to this
continuing expense. The church world has so many of these patient ignorance
subjects it would take up too much space to list them. Scripture describes them and
tells us how to deal with this. How can a denomination rewrite or revise God's Word
while the congregations accept the blasphemy?

    Christians must be wary of these methods both in church and politics. This gets
sticky when the two are intertwined as they are now. We do not have thinking and
reasoning Christians today. We have people who are so concerned with making a
living and raising families they don't research the information that is drilled into them.
Political and scripture research are subjects not on their grocery list.

Both politicians and preachers are salesmen today. They are selling their agenda
to you, and raising large sums of money is the conduit. We are flooded with polls.
These snake oil salesmen want to know what you like and how you think(?). They
are especially interested in subjects that spark immediate emotions. Unfortunately,
most people are more emotional than thinkers.

    I recall the days before mega churches, and especially the short radio programs,
where fund raising was not a major issue. Later, the sales pitch was brought in, and
virtually every religious program asked you to contribute. I remember when James
Bakker of PTL had a large pile of money on the stage and picked up a scoop shovel
of money and asked viewers to send more. I also recall a Texas preacher with a
teleministry sending ushers out in the congregation for a collection, and they returned
with actual bushel baskets of money, most of it in bills. One of the major hooks in
these fund raising efforts was miracle healing. Some of the miracle healing was real,
but others were fake. Lots of Christians were taken in then, and still are, but the
preachers and politicians are using different subjects. When you examine the subjects,
you find some worthwhile, while others are as fake and misleading as in the past
example. All are designed to collect money. It is your responsibility to do the research.

    Now that you have been warned about the snares, you need to examine this new
threat in the church called New Apostolic Reformation. This is what may be called
the Evangelical Plan to bring America into a theocracy. The only theocracy that worked
was when God, personally, directed man through priests and prophets before man
desired a human king. The NAR plan will bring religious control not so far removed
from the Muslim sharia law. It features the loss of personal freedom and forced values
on people. Some of these values are outrageous and have little in common with
Christianity. In many cases, they require your response and obedience to be very
un-Christian because they cannot achieve control otherwise.

    I promised to also bring an examination of our President into these two conflicting
plans, and now is the time. He has not shown leadership, and caves in when he can
find a reason to benefit. An example was the extension of tax cuts--$129,000 a year--
to the wealthy that changed the income tax laws. Enacted under Bush, this law was
up for renewal or expiration. Obama proposed its expiration, but faced a firestorm from
Republicans. The wealthy loved that tax break which has given them $1,290,000 over
ten years. That's a lot better than social security recipients with not one cent increase
for the cost of living (where is the evidence cost of living hasn't gone up?). Allowing
that tax break to expire is NOT raising taxes. Obama caved in when he realized he
and his wife could use that extra $129,000 a year. The Republicans saw a nice
carrot could sway Obama,and they're still using it.

    How does Obama fit into the two plans? I've not read his writings, but I have read
the book reviews. Two things stand out. He attended a supposed Christian church
for many years before he became President. The preacher at the church was a wild
man, preaching racism and hatred. He clearly hated America. How could Obama sit in
all those rantings unless he had some sympathy for the teaching? I couldn't, could you?
Then, when asked about the problems between Muslims and Christians, he is reported
to have said that when the chips fell (my verb), he would have to be a Muslim. Since
becoming President, he has appointed an overly un-representative number of Muslims
to fairly high-ranking federal jobs. His wife was quoted as saying she was finally proud
to be an American after he won the presidential primary. All this is food for thought and
research. I present this information to balance the political/church subject, and for you
to do some research so you understand where all party candidates come from. This is
the work God has for you. To be obedient, YOU must do the research, and it must be
fair--not the words from the mouths of candidates or the President. If you don't do the
research before you vote, you will be around to gain membership in the falling away
organization.

    I recently heard a staunch Tea Party supporter claim the Democrats were being racist
because Rep. Maxine Waters, a black Democrat, told the Tea Party to go to hell. She
was not being racist; she was decrying the proposed cuts in spending that are a direct
hit on the income of the poor, black, white and all colors. Think of the tax breaks given
the rich. Of those making $250,000 a year, 46% pay no taxes. Of those making over a
million a year, the government gives $129,000 to each person, and this money is our
tax dollars, not theirs. These greedy millionaires have collected $1,290,000 each since
Bush and a Republican congress passed the legislation 10 years ago. People on
social security formerly received one or two percent raises each year. They have not
received one cent in a raise for two years, because the government says the cost of
living has not gone up. Now the Republicans want to cut social service programs to
offset the wealthy increases.

    A woman made a comment in the newspaper recently, saying the minimum wage
workers such as those at Burger King and McDonalds do not pay taxes and are leeches
on society's workers. This is another case of ignorance and following the false
statements by politicians. Any one who has worked for a paycheck, including Burger
King and McDonalds, knows taxes are deducted from the pay before the worker receives
the check. This woman said these people should have to pay at least one percent so
real workers didn't have to pay for these people. Now, this is an easy lie to check, because
any check stub from a worker making minimum wage will show the tax deductions. But,
the woman was only interested in repeating the political lie.

    From the above paragraph, you see how easy it is to become the bearer of lies and
misinformation to influence voters. Most people do not check the facts in these spats
of political propaganda, and will base their beliefs on everything but the truth. Although
I have tattled on both political parties, it may seem I picked on Republicans. That is
because candidates from that party have made so many outlandish claims and
statements.

    Most of the Republican candidates have bought into two very unChristian programs.
One is the debt reduction pledge most signed. This pledge was not presented by any
publicly elected official or anyone with even marginally acceptable qualifications or
credentials. The pledge requires Republicans to vote no on any proposal that may be
considered to raise taxes unless there is an accompanying proposal to pay for the
proposed tax. This pledge nearly undid the debt raising, and wasted weeks of time
while Republicans staged a phony fight and the Tea Party's few elected representatives
held over 300 million hostage.

    The other program is the New Apostolic Reformation organization. This is a sort of
shadow organization. To find out about it, you have to search some websites. Information
about them has been kept pretty much under cover. These people all loudly claim they
are Christians. This organization is anything but Christian and does not follow scripture.
Oh, they do quote verses here and there, but the whole truth is explained in the name
of their organization. NEW means something that didn't exist previously. Does that touch
your reasoning? Think Rev. 22:18,19. NOTHING new may be added, and NOTHING
may be taken away from this prophecy. Do you have trouble understanding plain
English. God does not accept ANYTHING new to scripture. If you accept this "new"
organization or vote for any of the member candidates, I won't be seeing you on the
rapture trip.

    For all you non-believers, liberals, and especially conservatives, who did not pick
up the importance of the previous paragraph, look at the middle word of the title,
APOSTOLIC. Many modern day churches have members they claim are modern
day apostles, so this is not new. The powers these new NAR members claim go
far beyond the ordinary. It depends on whom they are trying to influence. Some
candidates appear to belong because they believe the claim, while others belong
because it is a powerful group.

    Now, for the real kicker. The NAR has taken a page from part of our Lutheran
organizations, and they are REFORMING the bible and the church. Exactly what are
they doing? They are CHANGING scripture to agree with their agenda. Again, they
are violating Rev. 22:18,19. What is their agenda? They want to create a theocratic
nation, similar to the Muslim Caliphate. It would work like the Sharia Law works in
Muslim nations. Goodbye freedom. Look at some of the proposed laws by these
misled new Republican/Tea Party congressmen and recently elected state governors
and legislators. With these people in full control, God and Christ will be brushed
aside.

    Yes, I said brushed aside. Because a theocracy will be so powerful it will replace
Christ on the throne and will be elemental in the tribulation period. I know many of
you will find this writing difficult to believe, but so were the situations leading up to
the World Wars, the Berlin Wall (both up and down), the Communist take-over of
mainland China, the Twin Towers, etc. It's the difficult things to believe that result
in calamities. You will be responsible for your support of any and all candidates.
If none suit you, you'll have to pray about it. You can't say you weren't warned.

REVISION & POLITICS

    I've been speaking and writing sermons for a very long time. Some subjects
are more difficult to present. Even though you follow scripture very carefully,
controversial subjects frequently cause people with deep-seated opinions to
delete or walk out of a meeting. God tells us to have an open mind and LISTEN
to His Word. We can't hear Him or the Holy Spirit when our carnal mind is made
up. Yes, I said carnal, because we all have a terrible time separating worldly
things from Christ's teaching. How often do we see in scripture where God has
to admonish His people because they aren't listening and have no patience?

    The subject of apostasy and revision has appeared in my sermons for some
time because there are so many prominent preachers and politicians who are
rewriting scripture, spouting incorrect bible teaching, or, most recently, duping
Christians with the PLAN. There are two versions of the Plan, both very
carefully put together after long hours of midnight oil and searches for individuals
best able to place the Plan within Christians.

    Make no mistake! These plans are both designed exclusively for Christians,
because Christianity will be stomped out as the end times get underway. I'm
not predicting any specific time, date, or hour. I'm just correlating this current
introduction with scripture that warns us "falling away" will occur before we
arrive at tribulation and the rapture. If you have a good study bible, you may
see Thessalonians Chapter 2 sub-titled "The Great Apostasy".

    We need to understand two things about the end times. This "falling away"
warning is the complement to Christ's warning about recognizing the events
preceding the end times. Recent earthquakes, continuing starvation and
turmoil in many countries should help us understand what Christ was really
telling us. You need to study Mark 13:5-8, Matt 24:4-8, and Luke 21:8-11.
These things are signs of the approaching end times.

    Thessalonians 2:3,4 is the completion of our instructions for preparation for
the tribulation and rapture. If you keep your eyes on the terrible things
happening in the world and don't listen to those verses, "Let no one deceive
you by any means; for that DAY will not come unless the falling away comes
first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and
exalts himself above all that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sits
as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God," you will be
quietly brought into the anti-Christ movement.

    Deception has become very skillfully sophisticated and honed, and those
who seek power are experts at leading us astray. You may think I'm being carried
away by my imagination and I'm preaching ridiculous theories. Reread what I
have just written. It is all backed up by scripture. Scripture, by the way, is the
inspired Word of God, and it is God. To fully understand where we're going with
this message, you need to know some history, some geography, some psychology
and some ethics. It's all in the bible, but sometimes we just can't put it all together.
Why do you suppose it takes so long to become an ordained minister?

    If you would desire a course in deception, your best source would be the words
of politicians. The apostate teachers make good use of these political wannabes.
It's always fearful to join politics with religion, but the two have ALWAYS been
joined together by mankind. Religion is THE tool to absolute power, as you can
observe in the mostly Arab and black peoples. Most of these are theocracies,
where religious leaders set the rules and punishment--see Sharia Law for
example.

    You won't like this, but read a bit of history and you will see that previous
Christian attempts of theocratic power have all been vicious and anything but
Christian. The Pilgrims came to America so they could practice religious freedom.
When they got here, they instituted their own version of a Sharia Law, burning
accused witches at the stake, putting people in stocks, and various other practices
anything but Christian. Did Christ or the Apostles do any of that? Of course not.

    When you follow any religious or political leader that spouts control or uses
self-serving bible quotes, beware. They are out to dupe you, and will give you a
well-prepared line of bogus information. It may be difficult to research this material,
and it's meant to be. Who has the time to look this stuff up? The absolute worst
scenario is the politician who thinks he knows scripture and bases his platform
on bits and pieces from the bible. He or she is a disciple of Satan. They cannot
be a committed Christian, because the Holy Spirit would not permit this obvious
mockery of God's Word.

    When mixing religion with politics, we must not make a blanket decision for
all members of any political party. There are good people with good intentions
in all parties. God does not direct us to base decisions on any party. We are to
base our decisions on God's Word--not a self-serving verse here or there, but
on an understanding of all relative verses. I'm sick at heart of the hateful and
pre-school rants I receive in e-mails. These are not necessarily directed at me,
but ALL members of an opposing political party. God gave us a brain, and if that
type of communication is all we're capable of, He must be sad to know so many
are serving Satan.

    When politicians or religious leaders pursue their ambitions, they put together
blocks of people with ready made connections. These include professional
organizations, business organizations, like-minded corporations, church
congregations, etc. To be BIG, you need to quickly build numbers of followers
and MONEY, lots of money.
   
    First, we'll examine a branch of the Muslim plan. This is not their entire plan,
just the part dealing with Americans. We'll get to their big plan shortly. A Christian
pastor in California had a vision of a mega church. To get ideas on how to reach
this goal, he made the carnal decision to visit a successful "model" mega church.
The Crystal Cathedral (now in bankruptcy) was such a model. In a relatively
brief time his mega church was successful, so successful, in fact, that he became
a best selling author. At this point, his actions were not specifically anti-Christian.

    Now Satan entered the picture, and Chrislam was born. Three major Christian
leaders were somehow persuaded that Christianity and Islam could join together
and bring world peace. Islam serves a different god, Allah, does not recognize
Christ as the Son of the Jewish and Christian God, does not accept salvation
through the blood of Christ, does not believe He rose from the dead and ascended
to heaven, does not believe in the Holy Spirit, and follows its own bible which
teaches Sharia Law, including death for those who refuse Islam. Our President
could not even offer a Christian prayer on Arab soil. Chrislam has now taken over
many mega churches where the Christian bible and Arab bible, Quran, are placed
beside each other in the pews.

    You cannot be a Christian and a Chrislam at the same time. They are completely
different religions, and Chrislam exists only to bring religious illiterates onto the
road to Hell. This is the Muslim plan for destroying America and bringing our country
into the big plan, the Caliphate.

    Caliphate is the term used to describe a vast collection of nations under Islam
controlled by a caliph, a religious leader, who in essence, is their god, serving under
Allah or as Allah. The plan for a Caliphate is not new, but the attempt hundreds of
years ago failed for sufficient planning. This time, they are spot on. Do you wonder
why so many of the Arab nations across North Africa and the Middle East are having
a sudden rash of revolutions to overthrow dictator governments? These dictators
must be removed, because they block the institution of Sharia Law and the seating
of a sub Caliphate who will serve the all-powerful Caliphate.

    Think this is a pipe dream? Ed Koch, one of the brothers owning Koch Industries, one
of the largest industries in the world, wrote about this Arab plan. He didn't, however make
any connection with Arab plans for America. To be successful in controlling the world,
Islam must also control America. Hence, we have Chrislam.

    While Chrislam is growing, we have smaller internal apostasy by leaders of some of
our major denominations. Rewriting the bible, bringing apostate teaching into the
church and misleading congregations because it is easier than telling the truth, are all
internal ways people are leaving biblical, scriptural teaching.

    We are told these Arab countries are being revolutionized by "freedom fighters."
Far from it. These people have been furnished with expensive, ultra modern weapons
and supplies. They are organized similar to any regular army. They have modern
warfare transportation, and both European and American leaders believe they are
working for democracy. Maybe they are working for something else? We need to keep
in mind that these are necessary steps in the falling away of end times.

    One of the interesting aspects of how well the Muslims have planned their march
to the Caliphate is how it is being financed. They are using trillions of American money
to finance their revolutions, building great golden parachutes for their leaders, and
at the same time draining America of its money and resources. Not ONE Arab nation
is accepting democracy and never will. Read scripture--Gen. 16:12, "He shall be a wild
man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man's hand against him. and he
shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." Is there some part of that scripture
you don't understand? World leaders don't understand it, whether politicians or
religious. For those of you in the same shoes as the world leaders, the above quote
from Genesis is a quote from an Angel of the Lord describing the baby Ishmael, who
is the foundation of Arabs. Our leaders, religious or otherwise, do not study the bible
and certainly do not believe it. Color them religious politicians. They believe only in
their agenda, which abuses scripture and is meant to deceive the very elect.

    That, friends, is the first half of Satan's plan to conquer the world. The other half is
taking place right now, here in America, and only people calling themselves Christians
are the leaders. The real blood and guts will come when this PLAN meets the Muslim
PLAN, and scripture tells us the Muslims win until Christ returns and puts a stop to
the carnage. As individuals we can't do much to stop the Muslim plan across Asia,
Africa and Europe. We can oppose Chrislam. The area we need to carefully scope
out is our own political area. This is not a Republican, Democrat or Tea Party specific
problem. The apostate or PLAN 2 is under the guidance of an organization called the
New Apostolic Reformation. It is entirely American, and the planning has been as
intense as the Muslim plan.

    I know many of you are worrying about preserving your material assets and your
way of life. If you are one of these people, you already are showing who and what
you believe. It certainly isn't Christ and the bible. I have been flooded with advertising
and videos telling me what to do to preserve my assets--material things. These offers
all come from professionals who are financial advisers and investors. Not one of them
even mentions scripture. They talk about tough times and carnal government. If I was
a betting man, I'd give really big odds that you are reading and studying every word
from these people. Did you ever read in scripture that man can't serve God and
Mammon? See Matt. 6:24. Mammon, of course, is carnal wealth--money, houses,
cars, etc. There's absolutely no room for anything Christian in Mammon.

    If you are so concerned with finances, you should go to the ONE who has it all
and controls all--GOD. To be sure, Satan can and does reward his followers in many
ways, especially money. God gave us freedom to think and reason, and then gave
us His very Word. It is our choice to accept rewards the easy way from Satan, or the
difficult way, through refining by God. Consider this carefully: Satan may reward you
with money and power now and in the limited future, but eventually Christ will put an
end to that, and committed Christians will begin collecting their eternal reward by
being in the rapture.

    I admonish you to turn to Luke 16:19-31. At that time the people had only Moses
to turn to, and they didn't listen. We have Christ as well as Moses. Friends, that's
two strikes. If you miss both, and you know what they say about three strikes. You
can't protest that third strike. You're outta your at-bat, and this time, the game.
Enjoy your carnal wealth while you can, because time is growing shorter with
each passing day. Committed Christians will rely on God to pull them through.
This is not a free pass--you will be expected to be a prudent follower, and it may
not be easy.

    If you are still reading this message, congratulations! Many probably have
deleted it. You may have concluded I've been bashing Republicans and presenting
only a (hated) Liberal view. That has been because we have no field of Democrats
in the presidential race discussing issues. Our next message will examine our
President and his philosophy, and where he stands in the midst of the two PLANS.
To be sure, he is a major player. I suggest you read Revelation carefully, especially
the many verses about the end times. And, we'll  dig into the New Apostolic
Reformation that is going to play a major role in both our country's future and the
end times.
