Regular readers know that it's not often I write about my personal life here. Still, every now and then I've come here looking for comfort -- and help -- on important matters and found it.
I know that this body of believers genuinely cares about one another. Furthermore, I know that when we've gotten together to pray, God has heard us, and He's moved mountains in response.
It is with that same desperate hope that I am writing to you all tonight asking you to please take a moment and say a prayer for my wife Lindsay.
A little background info.
We've been married for 5 years now (known each other for 9). When we were first engaged we decided to live together. For us, our conscience got the better of us and after only a month of living together we decided to honor God and do the right thing by getting married ASAP.
Our family and friends were bewildered because up until that point I don't think they ever really knew how spiritual we were, or how important our faith was to the both of us. To be fair, we were still in the very beginning stages of our walk with Jesus so that's probably not their fault.
Anyway, we married in March and kept the date for the "real" wedding in October complete with the white dress and formal reception. A funny thing happened though. Within days after we honored God in such a public way in March, and explained to everyone why we were deciding to get married then (instead of waiting only a few more short months) Satan came at us with everything he had!
Up until now, that was the most ferocious attack that the two of us had faced in our entire lives. For me, past sins from a self-destructive lifestyle reemerged, enticing me again and again to come back and give in to the tempting seduction. For her, she began to suffer from depression -- out of nowhere and after 4 years of dating her without a trace of it.
We both knew that what we were dealing with collectively and on an individual basis was most certainly spiritual in origin. We fought with the weapons we had just learned about, but that still doesn't mean our experiences during those times were easy. Not for these babes in Christ.
My wife got so bad that she had to voluntarily check herself into a mental health facility because we felt it was the last resort and our last hope. We had been married for less than 30 days, and now she was going to have to stay in that place for 10 straight days, and I was only allowed to visit in the evening between a set time period of only 2-3 hours at a time. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life visiting her there day-after-day. Plus, the thought of her sitting there all alone all day until I was allowed to visit nearly broke me.
Long story short, we made it through (praise God!) and for the next 3-4 years she managed each day with prayer, prescription medicine, and meeting with a mental health professional on a monthly basis. This helped tremendously.
Soon, she felt herself getting stronger and we were praising God when the day came when she went a full day without any medicine at all! That day turned into a week, and before long several weeks turned into several months without a single episode or those feelings turning up! Her doctor monitored her the entire time and was surprised by the outcome. We weren't complaining though.
This is how life has been for us over the past 1-1.5 years -- doctor, medicine, and incident free.
We must be close to the appointed times because I can say without a doubt that the past couple of weeks have been some of the most difficult for me, my wife, my family, my immediate family, my extended family, and even for some of you who have reached out to me as well in the midst of your trials and tribulations. Satan must know his time is short.
I don't want to get into all the issues because I want the focus to be squarely on my wife tonight, but I'm sorry to say that she is having an extremely difficult time and has relapsed. This was completely unexpected and completely out of nowhere and we couldn't even identify potential "triggers" like we've been able to in the past a few days prior. No, this came upon her with the force of a hurricane and it hasn't subsided yet. She fears it will never subside.
It's so painful to watch her suffer and not be able to do anything about it, or to not be able to take it away because if I could I would. To hold your wife in your arms while she's sobbing and hear her say things like "Why me?" and to not have an answer for her is painful. To listen to her tell you how she dreads the nights because she knows she's only hours away from another morning when she'll probably wake up feeling the same way is painful. To listen to her wake up the next morning and immediately sigh and then cry because those same oppressive feelings of despair and hopelessness are there is painful. To hear her say she wishes she could be her normal self again because she feels like a shell that's completely empty of any feeling inside is painful.
The way things are going we may end up back in the hospital soon if that's what it takes to get her the help she needs. In the meantime, all I can do is pray for her, hug her, hold her while telling our two little ones that the reason mommy's crying is because she's sick and doesn't feel good.
"In sickness and in health, for better or for worse..."
Obviously, it goes without saying that she is my entire world. God is number one, but she's a close second. When she hurts, I hurt. All I want is to cling to hat little bit of hope she has left, for her to see some signs that the prayers and meds are beginning to work because I can see that her faith is definitely being tested severely right now. She even mentioned to me last night that she's never prayed so much in her entire life even during the first time this happened several years ago. I know that's a good thing, and in the long run God isn't giving her more than she can handle, but I can hardly get through to her with that in her current condition.
She's scheduled to meet with her doctor this Thursday afternoon. She's also on Day 5 of the medicine that her doctor prescribed for her and they say it can take anywhere from 10-14 days for some people before the medicine takes full effect. Gosh, that seems like such a long time from now! While both are very important, we know that prayer is better than any doctor and drug cocktail combined, which is why I'm turning to you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ for you support.
Don't worry so much about me. I'll manage. My faith and hope is firm no matter what. I refuse to let Satan distract me. Please focus your prayers on her and lift her up so that a true miracle can occur here.
I thank you all for your time and consideration. I'll be sure to provide you all with an update once things change on this end.
May God bless you, and may the same measure of grace that you ask the Lord to bestow upon my wife be bestowed upon you in your time of need.
Another plane crash. This time a Yemeni flight. This is getting a little out of hand, isn't it?
I mean, 2009 is only half over and it seems like it will be remembered as "The Year of the Passenger Plane Crash" when you consider all the commuter jet tragedies (and even the non-fatal unusual incidents; the "near-misses") that have occurred worldwide since January.
Truly bizarre.
Here's the latest:
> The only survivor? A 5-year-old child. > Number of bodies found out of 153 on board? Only 5. > The French Transport Minister says plane not at fault. It was the second Airbus to plunge into the sea this month. An Air France Airbus A330-200 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean killing 228 people on June 1.
What makes the case even more suspicious is how initial reports are suggesting that the cause of the crash was "bad weather" and nothing else (at least not at the time of this writing).
Why do I find that odd? Because according to my research these Airbus planes employ the latest technology, some derived from the Concorde. In fact, it's very advanced and has even influenced later subsonic airliner designs. The technological highlights include: advanced aerodynamically efficient flight control; first airliner to be fitted with wind shear protection; advanced autopilots capable of flying the aircraft from climb-out to landing; center-of-gravity control; wingtip fences for better aerodynamics (first introduced on the A310-300).
Ultimately, it's the French connection to this latest aviation disaster that has me taking a closer look. Why's that? You'll recall some of the irregularities we highlighted involving that Air France crash earlier this month -- again, that was only a few weeks ago! -- and its potential connection to a "Full Disclosure" type of announcement as bizarre as that sounds.
Lastly, and on a side note, I need to mention the occultic examples of Synchro-Pop attached to this. Has anyone else noticed the weird manner in which the number 5 keeps popping up all over?
I was recently included on an email chain that accurately highlights how the New Age occultists (Luciferians) advancing a Satanic agenda believe in the supernatural power of Numerology.
The Occultist believes the number 5 to be the "Number of Death", and the greatest intensification of any number to be a triplicate, a "555" literally means "Highest Death".
Fast forward to this past week up until and including today:
> Motown's 50th anniversary > Michael Jackson dies of Cardiac Arrest at Age 50 > Michael Jackson was a member of the "Jackson Five" > Michael Jackson signed up to do 50 shows > Billy Mays passes away at the age of 50
Sharon Gilbert followed all of that up by writing: "If you want to put a bit of shine on your tinfoil hats, consider this tidbit -- AEG (music company) bailed out Jackson and expected him to make them lots of money in the Euro tour this summer. AEG’s parent company is the Anschutz Company. Their address is 555 17th St., Denver, CO."
In occult Numerology, you drop all zeros, and its a "bonus" to combine past, present, future events so there is your 5-5-5 "Highest Death" as seen above in the list provided.
Finally, even though all of that is surreal in and of itself, we found the same prominence of the number 5 in this French/Yemeni tragedy today (at least at the time of this writing) with the following:
> One survivor of Yemeni plane crash who is 5-years-old > Only 5 bodies found (in this morning's reports) out of 153
Again, another 5-5-5 sequence contained in a single event for the "Highest Death" satanic belief system. Other interesting tidbits to take note of regarding the number 5 include:
> A polygon with five sides is a pentagon, which evokes the pentagram symbol. > The most destructive known hurricanes rate as Category 5. > The most destructive known tornadoes rate an F-5. > Messier object M5, a magnitude 7.0 globular cluster in the constellation Serpens. > The Roman numeral V (usually) stands for the 5th discovered satellite of a planet or minor planet (e.g. Jupiter V). Amalthea is the third moon of Jupiter also called Jupiter V. Amalthea nursed the infant Zeus with goat's milk, and she's also described as the "little goat" (is this a warning about the imminent fulfillment of the prophecy involving the "little horn of the goat" in Daniel 8?).

But wait! There's one more unbelievable piece to this drama that's unfolding. In last week's email chain someone referenced the "signs in the skies" incident where "777" (or "666" in Arabic) appeared in the sky over El Cajon, CA. Even though this occurred back in February, it seemed quite relevant as you'll see in a moment.
Anyway, here's a couple of images and a video clip along with what Pigs In The Parlor had to say about it the other day:
On February 24th, 2009, another amazing event took place in the night skies over El Cajon, California. According to CBS News, it was witnessed and photographed by many people, and I have a copy of the photo. (40) Three large Arabic numerals appeared in blood red color and in a triangular shape in the sky. NASA has no certain explanation for it. These eerie numerals were the Arabic sitta, which is the number six. Thus, a clear and distinct 666 (looks like a 777 but in Arabic it is 666 *see below) in blood red appeared over California. These are the last of the last days! Source
A brief aside for a moment. You know that failed NASA rocket launch mentioned in the above news clip and pointed to as the cause of these lights despite the enormous time discrepancy? Well, would you believe I highlighted that VERY SAME failed launch in one of the "Ceres of Events" articles after it happened? Why did I do that? What was the significance then, and why might it matter now? Here's what I wrote at that time. Wait until you read this:
"...is this in any way the Mystery Religion ('Mystery Babylon') of the so-called 'secret societies' trying to advance their New World Order agenda on us all? I mean, we already know that they believe in the power of rituals and symbols and that the re-enactment of such can unlock a dark, hidden power (much too similar to last week's episode of the hit TV series "Lost" where it was explained that this is how the Oceanic Six could return to the island!). Humor me for a moment. Remember that part about 'a bull sacrifice taking place late that night or early the next morning' towards the end of this mega-ritual? Well, how ironic is it then that TODAY we read the headline 'NASA Satellite Crashes Back To Earth' when the rocket -- Taurus XL (Taurus = Bull) -- carrying NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) suffered a technical glitch early this morning at 4:55am PST, that caused the satellite to crash into the ocean near Antarctica? I mean, really, come on! What are the odds of all of this!?! So, perhaps that was their 'sacrifice' of 'the bull,' to their gods and goddesses to satisfy this sick and twisted commitment they have to performing rituals in the real world."
Insane, isn't it? Now, take a look at the modern-day Arab telephone keypad with two forms of Hindu-Arabic numerals -- Western Arabic/European numerals on the left and Eastern Arabic numerals on the right:
Obviously, the Arab number 6 looks like a European 7 while the Arab number 7 resembles a European letter V. Curious to say the least.
How is that relevant to our discussion here today, which includes a closer look at the occult significance of the number 5? Quite a bit actually. Take a look at the evolution of our modern glyph for the number 5:
Take another closer look at the fifth (go figure) glyph if you go from left to right. What are the odds that it is almost and EXACT MATCH to the images that appeared in the California skies we just looked at!?! Here's the Arabic sitta for comparison.
We could stop there and our minds would be blown away by the manner in which God's unfathomable universe works by being so interconnected. But if you think I'm going to, then you must be a first time visitor to Look Up Fellowship because there's actually so much more to this thread that ties in with a lot of the themes we've been studying lately in relation to end times Bible prophecy (like the possible identity of the coming Antichrist, NASA, space anomalies, "Alien/UFO" phenomenon, etc.).
My attention squared in on the Arabic sitta. The very first thing I found in my research seemed to mesh so perfectly with our belief that the coming Great Deception will somehow involve this whole so-called "Alien/UFO" phenomenon.
In Arabic, "Almahata Sitta" is "Station Six" -- a railway stop in the Nubian desert where witnesses reported seeing the bright fireball meteor seen below:
Small asteroid 2008 TC3 fell to Earth at dawn on October 7, 2008, tracking through the skies over the Nubian Desert in northern Sudan. That event was remarkable because it was the first time an asteroid was detected in space before crashing into planet Earth's atmosphere.
It was generally assumed the asteroid itself had completely disintegrated to dust. But, based on satellite and ground observations of the atmospheric impact event, Dr. Mauwia Shaddad of the University of Khartoum, aided by Dr. Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center, led an expedition of students and staff to the area, combing the desert for surviving fragments.
On December 6, 2008, two hours after their search began, the first meteorite was found. The team ultimately collected some 280 small meteorites, now called Almahata Sitta, with a total mass of about 5 kilograms -- the first material recovered from a known asteroid. In stark contrast to the lighter-colored stones, the black fragment in the picture is Almahata Sitta meteorite number 15. About 4 centimeters in diameter, it is seen as it came to rest on the desert floor.
Other fascinating and pontetially prophetic connections to all of this include:
> Apparently, there is a man alive today who is a BIG proponent of the "right of return" and his name is Salman Abu Sitta who is the Founder and President of the Palestine Land Society. In fact, you can read the debate he had recently on the subject with a Jewish Rabbi Michael Lerner HERE.So, the meme of "men establishing peace in the Middle East" is now addressed and covered.
Now, if all of that is to be accepted as what the New Agers believe (and why should we doubt it? they're the ones admitting they believe this stuff), then let's look at the contrast -- what the number 5 symbolizes in Christianity as found in the Bible. In the simplest sense:
5 = Basic Unit of Measurement (also, Hand of God??? "Fifth Rib"???)
The pagan world (Satanist/Luciferian dark forces) assigns numbers to objects, planets, or an idea. One of history's most infamous Satanist's, W. Wynn Wescott, who was extremely influential in the latter part of the 19th Century explains:
"The followers of Pythagoras...referred every object, planet, man, idea, and essence to some number or other, in a way which to most moderns must seem curious and mystical in the highest degree. 'The numerals of Pythagoras', says Porphyry, who lived about 300 A.D., 'were hieroglyphic symbols, by means whereof he explained all ideas concerning the nature of things', and the same [numeric] method of explaining the secrets of nature is once again being insisted upon in the new revelation of the 'Secret Doctrine', by H.P. Blavatsky. 'Numbers are a key to the ancient views of cosmogony -- in its broad sense, spiritually as well as physically considered, to the evolution of the present human race; all systems of religious mysticism are based upon numerals. The sacredness of numbers begins with the Great First Cause, the One, and ends only with the nought or zero -- symbol of the infinite and boundless universe'." [The Occult Power of Numbers, W. Wynn Westcott, p. 15.]
When real world events are underlined with occult numbers like this it signals to Occultists all over the world that they can know exactly what had happened and who did it. Like Satan's fingerprints or calling card, these numbers trace back to the root cause. Now, again, of course nothing Satan does happens without God allowing it to in order to fulfill His plan for humanity, but I think you get my point here. Think about 9/11 and all the ridiculous (too many to be a mere coincidence) cases where the number 11 popped up in association with the people, places, and events of that horrible day. In the end, we new God's hand of protection was removed for just a moment; long enough for Satan to do his dirty work.
To understand this fact, you need to understand that the Occultist literally fulfills Paul's explanation of a pagan, of a Satanist, in Romans 1:25 where he says "...they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator..."
'Nuff said. Keep your eyes and ears open because something stinks when it comes to these plane crashes. We can imagine where all of this is leading, but then we already know -- the rise of the coming Great Deception, the rise of the Antichrist at the head of the New World Order, and the start of the Tribulation. Keep looking up!
I want to conclude by openly stating that I feel as though something BIG is imminent. I'm hoping it's the Rapture, but it may be something else entirely that might just move us that much closer to that event. When I write "move us that much closer" I'm talking weeks/months as opposed to several years. For me, the closer we get to the July 10th/July 11th temporal marker we've all been anticipating it's as if with each passing day confirmation is given that the start of the Tribulation is getting closer just as we've suspected.
I'M CONVINCED THAT THE PROPHESIED 7-YEAR TRIBULATION WILL BEGIN IN 2009, AND THAT IT MIGHT BE SOONER THAN WE THINK, AND THAT ALL OF THESE EVENTS AND SIGNS ARE A HARBINGER HERALDING THAT TRUTH. GOD IS SENDING US A CLEAR MESSAGE.COULD I BE COMPLETELY WRONG? OF COURSE I COULD. I'M I SOME SORT OF PROPHET SPEAKING FOR GOD HERE? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'M JUST WATCHING THE WORLD AROUND ME, SEEING CERTAIN THINGS, AND ATTEMPTING TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE. IF THEY SEEM TO, THEN I WRITE ABOUT THEM HERE FOR ALL OF YOU TO DIGEST AND DISCERN AFTER TAKING THEM TO GOD IN PRAYER.
There has been a stirring in my soul building for quite some time. It's to the point now where I feel like we're reaching a peak, a climax, and the world is about to experience things many cannot even imagine!
Other Brothers and Sisters in Christ whom I've never met also seem to support this feeling. That can't be a coincidence. Not now. Not at this point in history.
Plus, I should also mention that I can't ever remember having such a compulsion to write about these things. It's almost as if the Holy Spirit is igniting that fire within me, giving me the desire, motivation, energy, and ability to get as much of this down for the record as possible before it's too late. I just can't stop writing these days! That can't be a coincidence either. Not now. Not at this point in history.
Here's another bizarre coincidence I'll leave you with that illustrates this point. When I say bizarre I mean BIZARRE!!! The 1998 rock band Harvey Danger had a song called "Flagpole Sitta".
Pole-sitting is the practice of sitting on a pole for extended lengths of time, generally used as a test of endurance. A small platform may be placed at the top of the pole. Today, the term "pole-sitter" refers to an exhibitionist or show-off.
Here are the lyrics, which are ridiculously prescient given our study and subject matter today (even though it was released in 1998, or over 10 years ago!):
i had visions, i was in them i was looking into the mirror to see a little bit clearer rottenness and evil in me fingertips have memories mine can't forget the curves of your body and when i feel a bit naughty i run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (but no one ever does) i'm not sick but i'm not well and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding the cretins cloning and feeding and i don't even own a tv put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me you told them all i was crazy they cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, god damn you i'm not sick but i'm not well and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell i'm not sick but i'm not well and it's a sin to live so well i wanna publish zines and rage against machines i wanna pierce my tongue it doesn't hurt, it feels fine the trivial sublime i'd like to turn off time and kill my mind you kill my mind paranoia paranoia everybody's coming to get me just say you never met me i'm going underground with the moles hear the voices in my head i swear to god it sounds like they're snoring but if you're bored then you're boring the agony and the irony, they're killing me i'm not sick but i'm not well and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell i'm not sick but i'm not well and it's a sin to live so well
No, nothing relevant there. Of course not, right? One more thing before we're done here.
What are the odds of all of this!?! Furthermore, ask yourself why all of this is staring us in the face screaming for our attention like some self-absorbed toddler at this very point in time with such ferocity? Why now? I believe this is God's way of trying to alert us about what's coming.
The genius of all of this is you can't explain it to laypeople without sounding completely insane. Then again, I've been used to that for quite some time as a student of prophecy; a watchman on the wall if you will. The one good thing to come from all of this is that for those who still remain hardened skeptics when it comes to the Bible and the prophecies found within its pages, I'd venture to guess that you have to be becoming more and more convinced that the sheer volume and complexity of all of this is way beyond the scope of mere human agency like I've suggested all along.
I'm not saying there's not a boatload of intentional symbolic mischief out there, but that is just a very small piece of the puzzle. Again, these powerful groups and individuals who lurk in the shadows are actively trying to worship their god (Satan) publicly through the language of rituals and symbols, but they are only given free reign to the extent that God allows it to fulfill His ultimate plan for humanity.
Bottom line, there is some wacky weirdness occuring daily, and this entire saga presented in today's series is just another example of it all! My head is spinning and my mind is racing trying to process everything in an attempt to piece it all together.
Coincidence? Finding a connection where none lies? Or a warning in advance? Stay tuned. Quite honestly, I'm still sorting things out and trying to determine if there's genuinely any merit to it at all as I've been saying I believe there is (no matter how small the kernal of truth may be). I'll continue to offer my findings to you here on a regular basis as long as I'm allowed to so that you can take them under prayerful consideration to the Lord. It's funny because I keep trying to disprove these "connections" to myself, but no matter how hard I try I simply can't ignore these things.
In the meantime, I pray that you make a decision for Jesus Christ if you haven't already because these are chaotic times, and time won't wait for you to finally make up your mind. Stop putting off what is undoubtedly the most important decision in your life. Not sure if you have or not?
Even if the things I'm saying ar close don't materialize soon (look, I sincerely hope I'm wrong about the coming death and destruction being right around the corner!) you could still die tomorrow, and any unresolved issues (like where you will spend eternity when you die) will be moot at that point. Do you desire a personal relationship with the One who created you and loves you? You need to know that if you haven't been saved and born again then you're not here reading this by accident. God has been trying to get your attention for so long, and He desperately wants you to finally answer His call and reach out to Him before it's too late! If you know this to be true and want to respond once and for all, tell Him in your own words or use this simple prayer:
"Father God, I know I need You because I am a sinner, but also know that I can never get to You on my own. There's nothing I can do on my own to make up for my sins; nothing I could do on my own to earn favor and forgiveness from you or to secure my place in Heaven when I die. The only thing I can do is to make a conscious decision that Jesus Christ came to this world for me. He took my sins upon Himself, was crucified in my place, died for me, and was resurrected so that I may live forever. I accept Him and His sacrifice, and desperately want to receive Your Son Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. When He conquered death for my sake He gave me access to You. Thank You for your grace and your mercy. Thank You for forgiving me and for sending the Holy Spirit to transform my life from this moment forward. I pray that you transform my life from this day forward and give me a heart and a mind that desires to not only get to know you, but to be with you as much as possible. Teach me how to live, and teach me how to share this message with others before it's too late for them. Amen."
On Friday's night show with Bruce Collins we spent some time talking about the occult world and it's role in these last days.
At one point, I mentioned the New Agers and how even though we don't believe in any of the things the New Age movement promotes (because we know it to be a perversion of all things from God, with its source being ultimately Satan), that still shouldn't mean that we ignore them outright because what they believe does matter to us.
It matters to us in the sense that they will do everything they can -- whenever they can -- to attempt to advance their Luciferian agenda in this world. Sooner or later, the Lord is going to allow them to be successful in their efforts since it will be done according to His perfect timing, and to accomplish His perfect purpose and will for the world. For instance, under the auspices of the United Nations (UN), the New Agers promote things like a one-world government, a one-world economy, and a one-world religion. Hmmm, does that sound like anything that might be important to us students of Bible prophecy?
Of course, these days they are becoming much more overt and up-front about their intentions and their plans for seeing those plans come to fruition. Thus, it's essential that we at least have a casual knowledge about them and their agenda in order to fulfill the whole "Be wise as serpents, harmless as doves" mantra found in Matthew 10:16. Let's not forget Hosea 4:6 here either!
That being said, I want to share an exceptional video of a lecture hosted by Stan Monteith and given by Constance Cumbey. If you've never been to Constance's site you've been missing out! Plus, she has her own compelling idea about who the Antichrist might be -- and she makes a pretty strong case I might add. But that's not what this is about. She wrote a book titled "The Hidden Dangers Of The Rainbow" , which is a must read that she's now offering for FREE DOWNLOAD given how late in the game it is here for us. Anyway, this is a lecture she gave awhile back (in 2006 I believe) called "Discovering The New Age Movement", but it is extremely relevant to us today now more than ever.
It's an exciting story to hear as the truth of the New Age movement is exposed from the shadows it hides behind, revealing its dark purposes and satanic plot in its hope for the Antichrist. Regular readers of this blog will enjoy it when Constance tells of her thrilling experience when she basically shattered a Benjamin Creme gathering by saying the Lord's Prayer -- while they were waiting for Maitreya to show!
Take the time to listen to this today, and please share it with your family and friends as soon as possible while we still can.

Here's a good quote I came across from Cumbey for us to end with:
I personally believe that the issue is not Christian extremism or Muslim extremism -- the New Agers despise the Moslems as much as anybody else they define as "peoples of the book." The strategy as I see it is to pit all world "fundamentalists" off against each other while simultaneously being undermined by termites from within -- apostates. Then, they, the New Agers / cultural creatives / etc. et al will be, as they see it, the Phoenix to arise from our ashes.
I keep remembering that the game plan of the New Age Movement as set forth in many sources, including Alice Ann Bailey's book, THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS and Peter LeMesurier's THE ARMAGEDDON SCRIPT was to pit the target groups of Jews, Christians, and Moslems against each other. A game plan is obviously being followed of termites from within, wrecking balls from without.
Seriously? Now I know that something else is at play here, and that something bigger is going on.
What else are we supposed to assume by these comments? Boy, they must really think (or know) that a majority of the population is stupid, or at the very least uninformed when it comes to world affairs and those in our own backyard so to speak. That's just insulting!
So, siding with ultra-Socialist dictator Hugo Chavez (who threatened military action against Honduras for ousting his good pal) is the mark of a "strong leader" and indicative of a "brilliant politician", huh? Unless I'm mistaken, this has been a bloodless coup, hasn't it? No matter though because the media trots out the word "coup" and they've already entrenched in the minds of the casual observer of the times an idea about this whole mess.
Everything about this story since news broke yesterday is just so baffling and bewildering to me because I can't see the benefit of saying such things in regards to a nation like Honduras. Is my initial assessment of the quick (some would call knee-jerk) response from the President and his administration indicative of the fears they have about what could very well happen here one day if the "Birthers" and the U.S. courts they've engaged have their say?
If the mainstream media remains complicit in this and continues to parrot this line, then we know for sure that there's a definite agenda behind such a perversion of the truth.
Let's be honest, if a blogger-for-fun like me can find out that the Honduran Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and that everyone from Congress to members of the Honduran President's own party opposed it, then why can't those who get paid to research such things find that out unless there was an agenda at work here?
For background analysis on this entire situation please read THIS.
"It is well the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."-- Henry Ford
In economics, a monopoly exists when a specific individual or enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it.
Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. That's a lot of technical talk to explain how the verb "monopolize" refers to the process by which a firm gains persistently greater market share than what is expected under perfect competition.
In other words, a monopoly sounds like the perfect tool for the Antichrist to wield from his toolbox on his way to establishing a New World Order (a.k.a. the prophesied one-world government system). By that I mean that he will have a monopoly over every aspect of the government, military, and our personal lives. Freedom will become a distant memory.
For over 60 years, over 480 million players from around the globe have played the extraordinary board game with the same name. Apparently, the elite ruling class has decided that their version of the classic board game Monopoly is best to be played in the real world with real money, real property, and real lives at stake.
The truth of the matter is that we are now threatened from within by a group of intelligent, well-dressed globalists who are convincing America and the nations of the world that the only way to establish lasting world peace is the establishment of a New World Order. As if man is a peacemaker! The is a perfect example of the spirit of lawlessness at work right now.
In tandem with the push to subvert our soveriegnty at every turn, our politicians are passing some of the most egregious tax bills that will bankrupt this country even further. In essence, they're playing with money we don't have, and what little bit is left in our pockets as cold hard cash will be taken once taxes are raised to pay for such "noble" concepts as "univeral this" and "universal that".
Therein lies the signature of the Subtle Serpent. The Neuro Linguistic Programming that takes place every time the word "universal" is uttered when it comes to economic and politics in general is no accident. It is imperative that the dark forces of this world condition the populace to the idea of "all for one, and one for all" to lessen the backlash once the gloves come off and the real push for a New World Order begins.
While the globalists' end game is complete and total victory over all of us with them at the top of the Illuminati pyramid, what they fail to realize is that this is a game they can never truly win. Today, I want to spend some time talking about both the New World Order and the economy's role in helping to establish such a global institution.
Hopefully, it will help strengthen our faith to do God's work now more than ever because time is short, but also help first time visitors (the unsaved truth seekers) come to the realization that the Bible and its prophecies can be trusted.
THE IDEA OF A "NEW WORLD ORDER" IS NOT SO NEW
I'm in a political frame of mind today.
The idea of a "New World Order" is not so new. In fact, back in December/January we looked at the plans of the globalists here in this country dating all the way back to the 1960s:
If you don't have the time to read those shocking studies into our country's recent history involving the men and women who actively seek to destroy this nation from within, then simply watch these two 10-minute videos instead for a quick overview.
New World Order Out Of Chaos: The Coming Economic Depression
The Total Collapse Of The Global Economy
As the Jeremiah Project blog wrote:
This New World Order is not some prophetically speculative or futuristic fairy tale, but a real world reality. It is not some "wacko conspiracy theory" advanced by the fringe of society like the powers that be would have us believe. It is not a "conspiracy," rather it's an agenda. Anybody that will end their soma induced "holiday" and unplug from the delusional "matrix" will see the evidence all around them.
It has been a long time in the making, its pieces fitting into place from divergent realms and different players. Gears and levers of history have been moved and adjusted, and a large-scale game of Monopoly has been played, with real currency and real assets shifting hands - a game with very real winners and losers.
The players in this grand deception understand it is a dangerous and risky undertaking, for they are vastly outnumbered. If average Americans woke up and understood their true agenda, there would be an uprising of revolutionary proportions. Therefore, demonizing the opposition and controlling people through disinformation and fear is critical as they conceal their true agenda. Published government documents characterize patriots as terrorists and a threat to law enforcement. World economic systems are threatened with catastrophic consequences unless the international banksters are allowed to consolidate their power into a global banking system.
Boy, isn't that the truth!
Of course, we know the end result once all the pieces of the NWO puzzle fall into place and the Antichrist is in his seat of power. None other than the infamous "Mark of the Beast" system of economic control:
Revelation 13:16-17 --"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark of his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name."
That reminds me. The buzz surrounding "Operation Blackjack" is not subsiding. Even though nothing happened (thank God!) on June 21st/June 22nd that doesn't mean that the dark forces loyal to Satan within "The-Powers-That-Be" wouldn't like to see the exact scenario portrayed in that "artistic slide show" play itself out on the streets of the world. They would. But I'm not hear to discuss Operation Blackjack even though I want to mention it because it speaks to a whole new method of interaction between them and us.
In the final analysis, or at least in looking at things now a full week removed from when concern about Operation Blackjack reached a fever pitch, I think it's safe to say that we're seeing a new phase of "communication" between them and us; a new breed of Psy-Op. More on this later.
Does anyone else notice how arrogant Satan is becoming in his evil plots and schemes? It's as if he is getting so bold and cocky nowadays that he doesn't care who knows about what he'd like to do to us and this planet. It's nothing but a mocking spirit. We see signs of this in everyday life, but mainly in the garbage being spewed from Hollywood and the decisions and laws being crafted by politicians in the halls of power in Washington D.C. and other parts of the globe.
Regular readers will recall the numerous examples (too many to count really) of all the times that pop culture (specifically, film and television) has eerily pre-dated real world events. You'll also remember how surreal it is to listen to one political leader after another step up to a podium somewhere and publicly call for a "New World Order" and even a "global currency", which are two things mentioned quite a bit in the Holy Bible wherever we read about the last days for humanity.
Yet, millions of people (even Christians!) turn a blind eye to it all and ignore what's right in front of them! How can this be? Once again, God's Word told us that it would be this way and that there would be a "falling away" from the faith.
2 Peter 3:3-4 --"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
OK, SO HOW HOW DOES THE ECONOMY ACTUALLY FACTOR INTO ALL OF THIS?
Scripture tells us of the establishment of a New World Order by the Antichrist in the last days. Indeed, Satan must have a dictatorial form of government if he is to rule the world. It is being slowly implemented in our governments through legislation, and in our churches with a new spirituality until ultimately it will be in the hands of an elite of intelligent politically-connected, religious-minded people in league with the Antichrist.
As all of this spiritual convergence is taking place lately I'm beginning to spend more and more time trying to expose the lies, to untangle people from the web of deceit that snares them in whatever small way that I can.
Yes, I know that the war is already won. Yes, I know how this story ends. Still, that doesn't mean I should be complacent let alone sit back and wipe my hands clean of any responsibility.
I'm thinking of all the Christians are there who profess faith in Jesus Christ, but who fail to see the great significance in everything that's going on all around them. They're the ones I'm writing for these days. I want to shake them from their spiritual slumber, point them towards genuine repentance, and urge them to wake up and get their spiritual house in order today before it's too late to do so.
Friends, is there any doubt that spiritual deception rules the day as we quickly approach the beginning of the Tribulation in these end times?
It seems that wherever we look in the financial sector the biggest stories involve fraud, but mainly counterfeit (or so we're told). At least, that's the theme from the past couple of weeks.
Next, we were presented with news that makes one wonder if something unprecedented is in the works. By now, you've probably already seen the shocking images of the supposed "North American Union Amero", which is said to be the new monetary unit for this nation, or what will be a conglomerate of North American nation states (U.S., Canada, Mexico) that will replace the sovereignty of the United States of America.
But just in case you didn't see them yet please feast your eyes on these images:
Now, I realize that some are claiming that the Treasury Bond story is just a case of a bold counterfeiter (and how bizarre is it that they were recently released without being charged!?!), and that this story about new money (the "NAU Amero") being printed is a hoax.
Frankly, I don't think these stories are much ado about nothin', and I certainly don't think we're dealing with just Monopoly money here. This looks like the real deal to me. But that's just my opinion. I've since come to conclusion that this is most likely a hoax, but definitely part of this "new communication" between us and them, and part of another Psy-Op for sure.
Even though I'm more of the opinion that this is a hoax, I do want to share what FederalJack wrote about this a few weeks ago:
These pictures were sent to me a little over two weeks ago. Before posting them I made sure that I looked them over with extreme prejudice. I have seen other photos of supposed Ameros before so I wanted to make sure these weren’t some crappy homemade hoax. I have to tell you, after hours of checking them over, they look like the real deal. A few examples of why I came to this conclusion are the water marks and the special light reactive paper they use to make the bills. There are some shots of the money in natural light and you can see, under close inspection that the security features on our new 20’s and 5’s match up with the security features on the Amero’s. You will notice the world bank logo in print and used as a watermark. You will also notice the logo of the “North American Union”. Don’t take my word for it, check them out yourself. Take the time to look at them very carefully. You can decide for yourself, but as for me, I believed they were real enough to post the photos.
Exactly. So, what do we make of all of this? I think that things like "Operation Blackjack" and now this supposed "new currency" are supposed to be sophisticated hoaxes. That's the point. That's not to say that the very things they represent or the plans of the NWO crowd that they speak to aren't legit. Quite the contrary! If anything, these elaborate hoaxes only prove the lengths they'll go to not only deceive us, but mock us in the process. It's as if Satan and his minions are becoming so bold that they're saying through all of this, "Ha! Ha! Look at what we are going to do to you very soon! No, this isn't the real deal, but we just got you to believe it was! Plus, you'll let your guard down for when it is the real deal! Gotcha!"
Think about it for a minute. Given everything that's going on in the world today that has prophetic significance -- the geo-political issues involving Iran, Israel, North Korea, Honduras, the global "Swine Flu" pandemic, the push for a New World Order (a.k.a. one-world government), the global economic crisis and a call for a one-world currency -- how can we not take these two stories (whether individually or together) and include them in the ongoing saga that is the fullfilment of last days prophecies? They (as in the dark forces associated with "The-Powers-That-Be") can deny it all they want to, but it all just fits too perfectly not to have significance, doesn't it?
I'm not saying that random counterfeiters and hoaxers independent of the NWO elites don't exist (or that they've never done anything like this before), but when you put these puzzle pieces together with the others coming from the financial world about the state of the national and global economy it's hard to view this as being anything but prophetic.
THE CANCER FROM WITHIN CONTINUES TO DESTROY WHAT'S LEFT OF THE U.S.
Of course, we know that before the one-world government (complete with its one-world economy) can become a reality we first have to witness the destruction of the dollar. Personally, I believe that a nation's monetary unit is its line of defense, the line in the sand if you will, when it comes to their independence and sovereignty. Freedoms might erode and laws might be changed, but once you take away a country's money what else is left to define it?
Despite the overwhelming evidence provided to us over the past few decades going all the way back to the '60s, there are still some people who are in denial about the entire concept of a New World Order let alone a North American Union. Shame on you! The evidence is there just like it always has been. When will you realize that we're in the midst of some intense spiritual warfare here?
Back in December, I tried to lift the veil a bit and prove that this was going to be our future once the NWO proponents get their way. Those articles were referenced at the beginning of this column and I strongly encourage you to take the time to read all the evidence that was compiled through hours of research because it is absolutely stunning and it will open your eyes to the truth.
But if you want a more recent confirmation as we wrap things up, then I'm glad that Steve Quayle linked to a timely article the other day about how in 1969 a Rockefeller official said the U.S. would be de-industrialized. According to the report, on March 20, 1969, Dr. Richard Day, the National Medical Director of the Rockefeller-sponsored "Planned Parenthood", told a meeting that American industry will be sabotaged and shown to be uncompetitive.
Hmmm, that seems to confirm everything that we just looked at here today. If you still have doubts let's consider it in view of the recent bankruptcy of General Motors, which definitely make his remarks especially pertinent.
I don't want to lose sight of this just yet because it's hard proof that everything we assumed and documented so far is spot on:
Here's a quick overview:
> Much of what Day promised in 1969 is looking like a rear-view mirror today. But ominous events have yet to transpire. They do want to implant a chip in us so they can find and identify us, as well as monitor and control our purchases. Mark of the Beast anyone?
Believe it. Why? Well, simply because our own current Vice President and CFR member Joe Biden had a lot to say about the subject when he was still a Senator:
> "They are weaning us off national allegiance and will resort to terrorism to win our assent to their global police state. They may use "one or two nuclear bombs to convince people we mean business," Day said.
Operation Blackjack anyone? Maybe not last week, but what about the next? Remember -- this very scenario will help them usher in their plans quite easily. That certainly puts that entire conspiracy in a new light now doesn't it?
Those are only two of the many revelations he provided us with, but I think you get the point.
Other more obvious economically prophetic news is out there but is anyone listening and watching? Take, for instance, news out of Japan that central bankers there are considering a proposal that has become practical with the broad penetration of electronic money and credit cards in Japan. What is it? Only the Mark of the Beast technology and resulting system in action! Bankers claim the scheme will rescue the economy from another deflationary spiral in the news story titled Cashless Control Grid Inches Closer to Reality.
If you still doubt that this administration and its cohorts are actively seeking to destroy the U.S. dollar and create an economic collapse then please consider what Ron Paul, the popular Republican Congressman from Texas, said recently about this very real situation by listening to his weekly address HERE.
Bottom line? Originally created to defend and protect, our government is now being asked to provide. As the problems grow, so must the government. Big government is becoming the norm with far-reaching federally controlled and federally funded programs and taxation at levels to match. One has to only scan through a few of Obama's (or the previous administration's) policies in economic, spending, and tax strategy to see that sovereignty and freedom are (were) the items actually targeted for reduction.
We have witnessed over the past several decades an ever increasing collectivist inspired transfer of wealth and a federal government takeover of the management of American business, health care, education, and the American family.
I'm reminded of Revelation 18:
Revelation 18:11 --"And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more."
Revelation 18:15-16 --"The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!"
Revelation 18:22-23 --"And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."
Again, I ask myself whether this is all a sophisticated game of Monopoly here that the elites are playing, with us serving as the pieces the control and move around the board. I think you know what I think.
For those first time visitors to this site as well as the skeptics you have to realize that none of us wants any of this to be true. Yes, as Christians we love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and want desperately to be with Him right now if we could, but that doesn't mean we would ever hope and wish for the death, destruction, oppression, and suffering of millions just to get us closer to our final destiny!
What many of you don't realize is that we write about these things because we read the Holy Bible. We already know what's going to happen here on this planet, and we can say with complete confidence that none of it will be "for the good of the world, for the good of humanity" as such things as a New World Order and a global currency is being pitched. So, our goal is to not only prove to you that the things that were prophesied 2,000+ years ago are starting to happen right now, but to also warn you to get right with the Lord before it's too late. Because if you can see prophecy being fulfilled to the letter all around you, then you must also consider what the Bible has to say about more important things -- the most important thing -- like salvation and where you will spend eternity.
While that might create fear and panic within the hearts and minds of those who are still lost and unsaved it doesn't have the same effect on us. In fact, we are at peace as we rest in God and cast our burdens and concerns upon Him. If anything, we might feel sadness at the thought that so many people will hear us, but will they actually listen and do something about it? Sadly, this is a call to action that will continue to fall on many deaf ears -- we know that too -- but we'll continue to do our part for as long as we're able to because we know no other way.
If you're reading this message right now you have to know that it is not by accident. There are no coincidences in this life. God brought you here because He wanted you to read this message. For whatever reason, there's something within today's piece that strikes a chord with you and you won't be able to shake that fact because you know it's the cold, hard truth. Don't let that feeling go!
Turn to God, seek His face, and ask for His mercy and forgiveness for the multitude of your sins. Do it today because it might be the last free will decision you ever get to make because unlike the coming NWO masters, God gives you a choice and it's yours to make.
Answer His call and return to Him once and for all.
While the world is distracted by the on-going Michael Jackson saga and the 24/7 coverage of the story of his death, the rest of us have been noticing several very important news reports taking shape around the world with some serious prophetic implications:
And so the rest of the world didn't stop just because a pop star passed away. Frankly, was news of that magnitude strikes it's always the best time to get things done without close scrutiny or protest.
In these spiritually dark times it behooves those within the Body of Christ who are watching to also take a few moments every now and then to laugh a little bit and lighten our spirits in the midst of so much chaos and trepidation.
That's what "Caption Nation" is all about! The idea is simple really. I figure that since we're now primarily a society that largely gets its news and information from headlines, bylines, sound bytes, news tickers, and tweets why not utilize that reality to our advantage, but in a Christian and Bible prophecy forum.
Here's how it works. Each week (most likely on Fridays), I will post a photo that could very well be the "Photo of the Week", but I'll choose one that I think we could have some fun with by tying an end times prophecy related truth to it.
For instance, here's this week's picture:
Ok, now it's your job to light up the Comments Section with your best CAPTION idea. I will always kick things off, but then it's up to you to give it your best shot. Try to keep it to a single sentence or two. We'll collect your thoughts for an entire week and then reveal the "winner" (what I determine is the best caption for that particular photo).
If yours is selected you will win an all expenses paid trip to...sorry. Actually, you won't win much of anything (I don't have anything to give you or send you at the moment!) except bragging rights and the pride of knowing yours was the best-of-the-best for that week. Perhaps one day when I'm rich and famous I can afford to have an actual "prize" or SWAG ("Stuff We All Get") to send to each winner.
Wanna see how it works? Here's last week's photo:
There were MANY creative submissions, but the winner of last week's "Caption Nation Contest" is Rejoice with:
"How much of this bull, did you say I had to swallow?"
I don't know, maybe it was the way the last week ended with so much spiritual deception in plain sight from a governor admitting to an indiscretion, to a Congress passing a ridiculous tax bill they haven't read, to the media portraying events worldwide in an inaccurate light, I think I just got fed up with it all by the weekend's end and this submission captured my sentiments exactly.
Congratulations Rejoice! You win the prestige and bragging rights for a week. Be sure to flaunt it now with all your friends and family. Who knows, maybe one day yours truly will make up coffee mugs, hats, and t-shirts to commemorate the honor. Until then, please accept this public shout out instead.
Honorable Mentions go to C.J. for:
"I thought we were looking for a RED heifer..."
...Ron White for:
OBAMA: "Talk about the ultimate Baal-Out Bill. Does this come in gold?"
...and D L A for:
OBAMA: "Driver, when I said pick me up in the Beast this is not what I had in mind!"
So, there you have it. Not too hard, right? I'm excited to see what many of you can come up with next because obviously we have some intelligent and creative people who stop by here regularly. Don't let me down!
This one's for those who think I never have anything bad to say about Republicans, or that I never criticize the party because I always vote along party lines no matter what (that's always a good one!).
Look, I know that we're all sinners in need of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that those of us who are saved are saints who sometimes sin and it's argued that that's why we shouldn't judge people. As a Christian I'm told I'm supposed to worry about myself and stay out of other people's business. In addition, I'm told I'm supposed to forgive and forget and just leave it up to God to handle things.
I get all of that. Yet, that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion about certain things, or that I shouldn't try to stand for righteousness whenever I see it abused or ignored. It's ok for me to call label things as being either "right" or "wrong" rather than constantly try to navigate through the murky world of political correctness and shades of gray.
I'm sure it's been said by many different people several times already this week, but I personally think that if a politician -- any politician -- is found guilty of upholding their marriage vows to their own spouse, then they should immediately resign or be removed from office. That's a law I would vote for.
How the heck are we the people supposed to have faith that they'll uphold their oath of office and serve in our best interests if they can't serve in their family's best interest?
By all means, I pray that he can reconcile with his wife and that they won't add another tally to the already long list of divorces in this nation. I commend them (especially his wife) for wanting to work through this while remaining in the public's eye. I can't imagine how difficult that will be.
Again, I'm not trying to pile on here but only trying to be fair. I want to be consistent in my criticism for Republicans just as I am for Democrats. Besides, this is a moral issue and last time I checked God's Holy Word has a lot to say about right living, living in obedience, and morality.
That's why I wanted to write this piece. Sanford should resign from office and focus on what's really important -- rebuilding his marriage by rebuilding faith and trust from his dear wife.
Much like the observation I made last week documenting the weird connection between our discussions about the Nephilim and the story about that Corpse Flower, I gave you the next installment in that same spirit.
This time the example of Synchro-Pop comes to us courtesy of The Discovery Channel. Take a look at the shows they were playing today, one after another:
Ruled The Earth Homo ergaster, an ancient predecessor of modern humans.
Before We Ruled The Earth/Beasts Evolution of the Cro-Magnons.
Prehistoric Disasters Scientists may have uncovered the event responsible for the largest extinction in history.
Dinosaurs: Return To Life? Recent advances in genetic research may allow scientists to bring back dinosaurs in an unusual way.
Before The Dinosaurs Creatures that roamed the Earth before the dinosaurs.
Prehistoric New York A glimpse back to when prehistoric animals roamed what is now New York City.
Prehistoric Disasters An investigation into the cosmic impact responsible for ending the dinosaurs' reign on Earth.
Interesting. Yes, these are just TV shows on one cable channel one particular Sunday. My point is to simply document this fact and point out the coincidence of how everything we've been studying lately has pointed to this idea of the creatures from the Bottomless Pit as well as the return of the Nephilim giants.
My post here is a little tongue-in-cheek statement (only a little because we know what spiritual force is at work here) about how unusual it is to find this as the only topic covered all day today on a major cable network like The Discovery Channel within the context of what we've been looking at.
Just an odd and striking similarity to our discussion is all and that's what I wanted to note.
We know from the study of Bible prophecy that conditions worldwide have to be so perilous that the people on a mass scale will cry our for a savior, or someone who will come along with all the answers to all their problems to help make things better.
It stands to reason then that before a Superman type figure (as the Antichrist will be) needs to find a world lost in chaos and uncertainty. Political corruption, deception, fraud and just plain old social unrest is probably one of the easiest ways to destabilize a nation without ever firing a single shot. Who needs war when you can use people's hopes and dreams for a decent and fair life against them, right?
That being said, I'm looking at the major news headlines today and thinking about how Satan is probably smiling because he thinks the stage is being set so perfectly to allow his reign here on Earth to manifest itself very soon. Of course, we know how this story ends so we're the ones laughing. Even so, how can anyone deny the connection between current events and end times Bible prophecy any longer?
What began in Iran, echoed in China, and now it has spread to Honduras all in the span of just 1-2 weeks time. Is this the beginning of the "summer of hell" we were all warned about?
I don't have too much to say about these circumstances at this time, but do want to make a few comments about some things that I found amusing in all the reports I've read and the independent research I've down on this.
President Manuel Zelaya, a leftist allied with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, was arrested shortly before polls were to open in a referendum on whether to change the Honduran Constitution. The Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and everyone from Congress to members of his own party opposed it. Critics said Zelaya wanted to remove limits to his re-election. Zelaya, arriving at the airport in the Costa Rican capital, San Jose, called the military action illegal, an interruption of democracy, a coup d'etat, a kidnapping, and an extortion of the Honduran democratic system as he promised he would not recognize any de facto government and pledged to serve out his term, which ends in January. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court said it supported the bloodless military action, which it said was aimed at defending the Constitution.
Of course, all of those FACTS are irrelevant to the Western mainstream media who prefer to ignore the truth of the matter and instead flood our television screens with images of the Honduran military holding guns, looking ominous. Did I mention that this was a bloodless coup and hardly similar to what's been going on in Iran? At the same time, they make the SMALL CROWD of only 100 or so protesters outside the President's Palace wearing shirts that read "Yes" (those who actually support the President and his unconstitutional maneuvers) seem like the victims and insinuate that they are representative of the true spirit and will of the people in that country.
It's flat out a big lie! It's simply not true! It's spiritual deception at its worst! I mean, even the images of the "victims who merely want their voices heard" wearing shirts that say "Yes" ("Yes" as in "Yes! We want to have a referendum to vote to change our Constitution...") is misleading and an effective tool of the Subtle Serpent as it influences those of us watching this unfold on a subconscious level.
How does it do that? Well, just stop and think it through for a moment. This is another classic case of what I've called in the past the "politics of semantics" and this is Exhibit A. I mean, who in their right mind is going to oppose sympathizing with people wearing shirts with a word that carries such a positive message inherently? The word "Yes" is everything the word "No" isn't. No big revelation there. Heck, I'd even go so far as to say that it's very similar to the words "Hope" and "Change" even. No one can really tell you with any depth what "Yes" and "Hope" and "Change" really means, but who cares! That's not the point. Who's going to violently oppose such a world where those things tickle our ears on a daily basis? Exactly. Not many, except for those of us with eyes and ears to spot and hear the truth through all the spiritual muck and BS.
Where have we heard all of those words before? Ah yes! Right here in the good 'ol USA! And now we've come full circle.
In an interesting contrast to the initial reaction following the civil and political unrest in Iran, President Barack Obama said he was "deeply concerned" by Zelaya's expulsion and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the arrest should be condemned.
What the heck!?! Seriously?
In a surreal twist of irony, or what I like to call "the pot calling the kettle black" (did I use that correctly in this case?), the "Lawless One" here in the states issued the following statement: "I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter."
Sure thing. I'm confident they'll listen and take his advice. Yeah right! Meanwhile, Americans here laughing and scratching their heads at the sheer hypocrisy of such a statement from a politician and his administration who don't take this advice themselves. What a joke.
I'm sorry, but the cynic in me wonders if this knee-jerk reaction by our President and Secretary of State (and let's be honest because that's exactly what this is especially when you hold it up in comparison to their response to the events that occurred in Iran) is indicative of this being a case of what we like to call "hitting a nerve" or "events hitting too close to home" because this is CLEARLY a justified and legal maneuver by the Honduran military and its people, is it not?
Again, they are acting in accordance with every right granted to them by their Constitution and have stated repeatedly that these unfortunate actions are being done to preserve their democracy and uphold the Constitution. Nothing more and nothing less until we see otherwise.
Heck, even members of the Honduran President's own party have opposed this! Doesn't that speak volumes to us? It should.
Hmmm, upholding the Constitution, huh? See, now that's exactly the kind of thing that makes me (again, while wearing my cynic hat) think that this type of story is making President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton EXTREMELY NERVOUS as they wonder if they could one day soon see a similar incident in the streets here in the United States.
Then again, there would have to be a pretty damn good reason to justify seeing that sort of thing here on American soil. I mean, you'd have to be able to make a very strong case that the President and this administration is subverting -- if not outright ignoring and violating -- the U.S. Constitution by their actions.
In fact, I think the only way to get people in this country fired up enough to do something like that would be if it was revealed that our serving President wasn't legally qualified by the terms set forth in the U.S. Constitution to even serve in that role in the first place. Could you imagine if such a claim was made against a sitting U.S. President? Gosh, I can't even begin to bring myself to think about such a preposterous thought. How could that ever happen?
No, thankfully we haven't seen anything like that in President Obama's first six months on the job.
The most important question to ask yourself before you continue reading here is, Are You A Good Person?, because the answer might shock you and because it's critical to your spiritual health.
What We Believe
Please read Look Up Fellowship's Statement of Faith in case you are new to this website and want to know what your humble host and servant believes. Next, you might want to consider that Look Up Fellowship has often been described as a ministry that seeks to provide some "spiritual meat", and so if you aren't ready for some heavy doses of truth, if you're still feeding on "spiritual milk", that's ok, but perhaps this is not the site for you right now. On the other hand, if you are honestly seeking discernment and wisdom, and you're not afraid of the kind of truth the Holy Spirit might lead you to that may even challenge your entrenched understanding about end times prophecy (no, not the fundamental tenets of our shared faith), then you may be rewarded for your efforts as we're told in Proverbs 25:2. Prophecy should never be looked at with fear. Neither should the coming of our Lord.
Contact Info
You can always reach Look Up Fellowship by sending an email to lookupluke2127@yahoo.com with any comments, questions, and prayer requests. You can also connect with me via Facebook if you prefer. Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for your prayerful support!
Our Purpose
An amazing 27% of the Bible is prophecy and 20% of the books of the Bible are prophetic. The existence of Jesus Christ is an historical fact so why would we ignore the prophecies of His Second Coming if it is mentioned almost twice as much as His First? Revelation 19:10 says, "The essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus." Prophecy is all about Christ. We are told to “watch and pray” for the Lord’s return. We will help you do so by keeping our eyes on the “signs of the times” and report them to you as best we can. With prophetic events happening around us at a quickening pace it is becoming more and more difficult to stay on top of it all during these end times. However, we are up for the challenge! Not by our power and strength, but by His! Jesus chastised the Pharisees for not knowing the signs of the times in His day. So, He wants to us know the signs today, for they instill in us hope for the future and encourage us to evangelize the lost while there is still time for us to do so.
Also, one important note about our approach here that I would like to mention. I believe it is a common, but very serious MISTAKE, for us to think that just because we may disagree on some points when it comes to interpreting the Bible and its prophecies, that another Brother or Sister in Christ Jesus, in the Body of Christ (in their perceived "error"), cannot ADD MANY OTHER IMPORTANT NUGGETS OF TRUTH that will ultimately help us in growing in grace and knowledge of our God and His big picture regarding what is happening all around us, and what will happen in the very near future.
Besides, we know from Proverbs 25:2 that "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter..." Christians are supposed to be lovers of truth, and I'm hoping we can all consider that our current interpretations of prophecy may be slightly incorrect since we know that 1 Corinthians 13 also tells us we see "through a glass, darkly", and God even told Daniel in Daniel 12:4, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." The point is that we can't be too dogmatic and entrenched in our positions when it comes to eschatology.
We put these news items, commentaries, interviews, research, theories, and information here as a public service, and in an effort to bring all the glory and honor to God. Truth is what we're after here, and exposing the darkness of deceit with the light of truth is our preferred method of identifying the truth as it currently exists in this world despite it being the Age of Deception.
Lastly, and most importantly, it is up to you to seek the Lord and pray, while using the Holy Bible as your guideline. We do not, and we never will, suggest that anyone should seek man for the answers. That being said, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE LOOK UP FELLOWSHIP AS SOME KIND OF PROPHETIC GOSPEL AND/OR EXPERT ANALYSIS because that's not right. We must take all things to (and seek and rely on) the Lord and let Him bless us with spiritual discernment and wisdom. If something here in this forum motivates you to that end, then praise the Lord! We are warned to watch, pray, and not be deceived in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, 2 Thessalonians 2, and elsewhere. May these commands never fall on deaf ears.

About Me
Jeffrey K Radt ("JRed")
At first glance, I’m just a skinny red-head with glasses who's pursuing the American Dream. My name is Jeffrey K. Radt (prounounced "rot" and I’m passionate about prophecy! Yet, make no mistake, I'm even more passionate about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I'm married to an incredibly amazing woman who is not only my wife, but also my best friend. Add two kids to the mix (Luke is 4.5 and Amelia is 3.5) and life just doesn't get any better than this! I'm truly blessed! I'm also a Christian who masquerades as a Small Business Owner by day, a Husband and Father by night. I'm a God-fearing, America-loving man who is more Right than Left. I chose the moniker "JRed" because it seemed to make so much sense. The capital letters represent my initials and the color simply carries on the stigma I’ve lived with on top of my head my whole life. Please pray that God uses me and this humble ministry to plant seeds of faith within the lives of those who need them.

Here's another bizarre coincidence I'll leave you with that illustrates this point. When I say bizarre I mean BIZARRE!!! The 1998 rock band Harvey Danger had a song called "Flagpole Sitta".
