Your Most Important Job

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Last night, our neighborhood celebrated what's called "Beggars Night", which is kinda like the Christmas Eve of Halloween.

My wife and I were shocked by how many inappropriate costumes we saw young boys and girls dressed in. Even more so by the parents who stood on the sidewalk smiling as their 7 and 8-year-olds pranced up the steps as pimps and prostitutes (I kid you not!).

At one point, I quipped that it was a sad commentary on the state of America when these young babies show up on your porch, knocking on your door, and by the way they're dressed you'd think they were expecting to receive condoms instead of candy. I joke, but it's not funny at all. It's not funny when the "eye candy" on the streets outweighs the amount of candy being handed out. That's just not right.

Look, Mrs. JRed and I are far from being "prudes" and we're hardly "old" (I just turned 30 and she just turned 29). We just think it's wrong for parents to let their young children out of the house dressed as pimps and prostitutes -- at any age -- for any reason (I don't really care if "it's just one night" or "a little harmless fun on Halloween").

All of this reminds me of the root cause of this one particular issue: Bad Parenting. Now, I don't want to get too deep into this discussion today (and I certainly don't want to go off on a tangent), but I think it's safe to say that when it comes to this specific issue you're a bad parent if you think it's "funny" to sexualize your children who are less than 10 years of age all in the name of "fun". Anyway, these are our opinions and we're sticking to it.

That brings me to an article I just read earlier this week by Bill Keller. It is a few months old, and he was writing about the tragic death of John Travolta's son at the time. Here are a few key excerpts for us to think about:

A chilling reminder to parents of your most important job. This Devotional today is a sobering reminder of how brief life is and the FACT that when it is over, each person will stand before God and their eternal soul either welcomed into the glory of Heaven for all eternity, or cast into the eternal flames of hell.

This is a wake up call for all parents. There is NOTHING you will ever do for the Lord more important than being mom or dad to your children and raising them in the admonition of the Lord. NOTHING! I don't care if you pastor a church of 10,000, if millions worldwide come to hear you speak about the Lord, if you write best-selling books about the Christian faith, there is absolutely no ministry that you will ever have in this life more important than being mom or dad to your children. Your children are a blessing from God, and He has entrusted those children into your care. You are to protect them, provide for them, love them, nurture them, and raise
them in the Christian faith.

The better percentage of two full generations don't go to church and are not Christians, meaning most children are growing up today in homes void of God. Sadly, many children and young adults are growing up in homes where their parents have embraced the perverted teachings of some cult or false religion. Well over 50% of the children grow up today in broken or blended homes and are influenced by a whole host of people, other than by a mother and father who are married and providing the stable, loving, nurturing, environment a child needs.

Each person who ends up influencing a child, influences them based on their beliefs whatever they may be. That is why God's plan calls for children to be raised by a mother and father so that they, and they alone, are the primary people to shape the thoughts and beliefs of their child, not some other family member or outsider!

Listen parents, you can't force your children to accept the Truth of the Bible and faith in Christ. That is a place they must come to on their own, just like each person must. However, you have the responsibility of shaping the thoughts and beliefs of your children by raising them in the Word and to love Jesus. That IS something you can control and God will hold you accountable for.

Never forget the wonderful promise of Proverbs 22:6, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." You can't force your child to embrace faith in Jesus Christ, but you are responsible for laying that foundation of faith in their life.

I love you and care about you so much. Pray for John Travolta, his wife, and their family as they still grieve over the loss of their son. I pray that this horrible tragedy will open their hearts to turn from the lies of Scientology and to seek out the hope there is in Jesus Christ. He is our only true hope in this life and for all eternity.

This is a wake-up call to you moms and dads today that you better take the responsibility God gave you seriously in the raising of your children and the nurturing of their minds. At some point, your children will be old enough to decide for themselves what they believe. However, God has given you the job of raising your children in the Christian faith, teaching them the Scriptures, and laying a foundation of Truth from God's Word in their life. I will be praying for you today as you take this great responsibility seriously. God has blessed you with your children and raising them in the admonition of the Lord is your job as a mother or father.

You should pray for that child in the womb, dedicate your baby to the Lord, pray over your baby every day, teach that child the name of JESUS as soon as he/she can speak, read the Bible to your child every day, teach your child how to pray, have your child in church, create a loving and nurturing home environment where your child can grow up knowing that he/she is loved and cared for, have your home a place where the name of Jesus and the Truth of God's word is honored, teach your child the Scriptures as soon as he/she can start to read, encourage your child to seek out a real relationship with Christ for themselves, challenge your child to grow in their faith through activities at church and in serving the Lord, and make praying with your child a part of EVERY day.

All of these are things you can do as a mother or father to lay that foundation of faith in your child's life. Never forget, as they get older they will start making their own choices, choices you are not responsible for. Even if at some point they choose to turn from the faith, know that the foundation is there and in their darkest hour it will sustain them. I will be praying as you open your heart to the Lord today and accept this incredible job He has given you to not just be mom or dad to your child, but to be their spiritual guide as you help raise them in the Christian faith. It is the greatest ministry you will ever have. The eternal soul of your child is at stake!!!

What a powerful message for all of us. I know it rocked me to my core when I first read it a few days ago. You know, it's so easy to forget just how important we are to our children. It's also just as easy to forget that they watch what we do to see if it matches what we say.

I know that every situation is different and that everyone has their own unique set of circumstances that makes parenting their child/children challenging in its own way. This message is about motivating you to assume your rightful place as the most important person in your child/children's life (aside from Jesus Christ of course). This message is not about pointing the finger and condemning, but about encouraging and motivating you to greatness in just this one area of your life.

I know so many single mothers and single fathers who struggle raising young children and/or teenagers, and yet they're often times doing a much better job than those families with two parents present in the home. There's something wrong with that, isn't there?

I also know that there will be some who will think my comments and criticisms here today are too harsh for this day and age. They'll charge me with being another "hypocritical, judgmental Christian" who has no right to do such a thing. I admit, I am a sinner and I do fall far short of the glory of God. In fact, I still stumble from time to time and commit sins that grieve my heart.

So, what gives me the right to react this way? Well, I'm not sure I'd call it a "right", and I'm not sure anything does. However, I do know that what makes me different from those who claim I can't call out such things is that I'm admitting my sins and I'm praying to God for Him to deliver me and forgive me from them. In other words, I'm at least attempting to do my small part in the process of repentance and sanctification, which is to say I'm merely acknowledging the truth of my errors and seeking God to set me right.

Can you say the same about yourself if you're one of the parents who dressed your 7-year-old son up as a pimp and outfitted your 8-year-old daughter as a prostitute because it made you laugh? Will you be laughing when you and your family gets caught up in a lifestyle of sin that threatens to destroy lives before they've even begun? Do you even care?

You should because you're employed in the most important job on the planet -- being a parent to your sweet, innocent child/children.

Ephesians 6:4 (KJV)
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Aliens, UFOs, Full Disclosure - Notable Quotable

Genesis 3:1 (KJV) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (emphasis mine)

Satan. Not only the Father of Lies, but the Subtle Serpent as well. Keep that in mind as we continue with this thought. See if you can spot the subtle message being transmitted in the cases I'll cite.

The quote listed below came to mind when I pondered the following examples of predictive programming (NLP Psy-Op type stuff via pop culture) -- from just the past week or two alone:

> Bizzare clouds forming in the skies recalling Hollywood imagery of what it would look like if "UFOs" arrived in our airspace (first it was in Moscow, Russia and the latest example just occurred in Romania the other day);

> The Balloon Boy Hoax (obvious "UFO" symbolism in the shape and color of the balloon, and a family responsible for the hoax that believes in the phenomenon as being wholly "extraterrestrial" as opposed to a spiritual one);

> The big announcement that "Full Disclosure" is imminent (November 27th, 2009 given as a potential date for such an event);

> NASA's Ares 1-X NASA rocket launch (supposedly marking the future of man's voyage in space and to Mars to seek out new life forms);

> New York Yankees being introduced during Game 1 of the World Series to the theme from Star Wars (subtly reminding us of a galaxy far, far away and the "star wars" to come?);

> Wednesday night's world premiere of the new children's Halloween holiday special that's a spin-off of the film Monsters vs. Aliens (in this story a traditional UFO accidentally spills some intergalactic sludge into a pumpkin patch, creating mutant pumpkins that want to take over the world; resonates with the "Ancient Astronaut Theory" of evolution that says an ET race genetically engineered life on this planet and that they were the ones that really created us);

> The Fourth Kind set to premiere in theaters nationwide (a film that takes the "Alien Abduction" meme to a whole new level!);

> ABC's launch of the highly anticipated series V next week (many curious changes to the show in recent weeks that have raised some eyebrows)

Here's that quote that seems quite relevant these days:

"I keep harping on this because we need to understand that disclosure is coming and when it hits, it will be too late to form an opinion as to what the phenomena is. Whether it is benevolent or malevolent. Whether it is deception or deliverance. The media will tell us what to believe and our president will announce that most of the aliens are friendly. We are warned very specifically that, Satan when he shows up, will come with all signs and lying wonders. The supernatural is manifesting as never before and unless we have an understanding of it we can easily be misled. That is why I refer to the Bible as, The Guidebook to the Supernatural. The buffer that has kept the two dimensions apart seems to be receding. We must test the spirits and we must use our weapons of warfare, which are not carnal. I have said that there will be an Apostasy, a Great Falling Away and this will follow-on the heals of the revealing of UFOs. We are also told that there will be a one world religious system, which immediately begs the question, how do you get everyone on the same religious page? The revealing of E.T. would do it."

The Price Of Admission

This one's for the skeptics who don't believe in God, His Holy Bible, or the prophecies written upon its pages. This one's also for those Christians who believe in God and read their Bible, but who just can't accept that we're living in the prophesied "end times" at the moment.

The thinking goes that there have been generations past that have believed theirs was the one that would see the return of Jesus Christ after the fulfillment of the last days prophecies. Ultimately, those things never materialized so they reason that it's worthless and a waste of our time to think the same thing about this day and age. Plus, they wonder why anyone would want to focus on all the "doom-and-gloom" associated with the subject. Life is bad enough these days. Do we really want to add more stress to our lives?

Sadly, there's far too many people who fall into one of these two categories and who exhibit this type of thinking on one of the most important areas of Christianity despite the litany of evidence to suggest that they should stop ignoring the facts and begin acknowledging the truth.

For instance, let's just look at the current political, cultural, social, religious, and economic landscape as it exists today. Then, you can tell me if you still think there's no reason to believe that we could very well be in the midst of the end times that Jesus warned us about.

That brings me to today's topic. I was going back over the news I missed while I was away on my "hiatus" about a month ago. Fulfilled Prophecy had a link to
a speech that Hillary Clinton gave on September 11, 2009. It goes hand-in-hand with everything we already know regarding the Alliance of Civilizations (AOC) and its connection to the One World Religion.

Here's what Clinton had to say:

We will continue to form partnerships with those who share our values, like the Government of the Netherlands. On Monday, the United States will take its place as a returning member of the UN Human Rights Council. When I made the decision that we would rejoin the Human Rights Council – (applause) – there were those who questioned that. How can you be part of something that is so contrary to the values that we espouse, that we wish to uphold, not only here at home but around the world? Well, we are going in to the arena. One of our priorities will be upholding universal standards for freedom of expression as we combat intolerance and discrimination everywhere it rears it head. (Applause.)

Similarly, we wish to stand firmly on the side of the freedom of religion
. As President Obama noted in his historic speech in Cairo, faith should bring us together. That's why we have welcomed international efforts such as Turkey and Spain's leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations. It’s one of the reasons that on my first trip as Secretary of State I visited Indonesia – the world’s most populous Muslim country and a secular democracy. It’s why we are encouraging people of different religions to come together not only in dialogue, but in service. In projects ranging from Malaria prevention in Africa to disaster assistance in South Asia, we are laying a foundation for good works – and good relations – among the world’s religious communities. Learning to respect the faith of our neighbors should be the price of admission into the 21st century.

So, it should be "the price of admission", huh? By "learning to respect the faith of our neighbors", I'm assuming that Secretary Clinton means that we should all be expected to respect every single religion under the Sun -- EXCEPT Christianity, right? If you think that's outta line, think again. That's PRECISELY what the Alliance of Civilizations (AOC) and the recent Hate Crimes Bill signed into law in this country seek to establish.

For those who don't remember, The Alliance of Civilizations (AOC) is a UN-led project initiated by Turkey and Spain to promote dialogue and cooperation between different cultures of the East and the West, and it is gaining traction across the globe. President Obama even through his full weight behind the AOC during his big Cairo, Egypt speech even though the mainstream media ignored it (or even attempted to explain to the average American citizen what the AOC was all about).

Actually, I spent an entire show talking about this coming reality and its prophetic implications and even discussed how it is intricately connected with the infamous Hate Crimes Bill that was just signed by President Obama today. You can listen to that show (from 7/17) HERE and read the follow-up commentary HERE.

Let me be blunt and ask the obvious: Could this be the tool that is used to create a One World Religious System? Ok, that was a rhetorical question because I believe that it is. Wait, to be more clear, I believe that right now there's nothing else in this world (except maybe the so-called "Alien/UFO" phenomenon and its connection to Scientology) that is a better candidate -- nothing else in this world right now that's a better vehicle -- that could be used to establish the One World Religion. Watch the following video and judge for yourself.



Pretty compelling, isn't it? The story doesn't end there though.

Today, I also read that the so-called "Defamation of Religions" UN Resolutions, proposed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), would create a "Global Blasphemy Law". Nice. I bet I can imagine how that would work:

ME: "Faith in Jesus Christ is the only one, true way to the Father in Heaven."

THEM: "Blasphemy! How dare you offend the religious views of billions worldwide!?! You're so insensitive and narrow-minded you bigot! Not to mention it's against the law to say such things!"

On a quick side note, does anyone else notice how all these pseudo-religious movements (political organizations obsessed with taking the "offensiveness" and "sin" out of any form of religion that exists; mainly Christianity) is nothing more than a power grab by the Islamic-Muslim world? Why are these groups so influential when it comes to these sorts of things? Why are they the only ones who have a say in these matters? Well, of course, we all know why that is. It's a key hallmark of the end times for those of you who are still unwilling to commit to the truth of the hour we're living in.

Ok, so what of this "Defamation of Religions" thing? Leonard A. Leo, the Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, testified to Members of Congress on the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission that though the resolutions sounded "tolerant and progressive", in reality they would "exacerbate" religious persecution and discrimination around the world.

No surprise there. Here's another telling quote by Leo:

"Although the 'defamation' resolutions purport to protect religions generally, the only religion and religious adherents that are specifically mentioned are Islam and Muslims."

Precisely. See, we're not the only ones who can see through this smoke screen of "We Are The World"-ism and political correctness.

The "Defamation of Religions" Resolutions are expected to be formally proposed for renewal by OIC next month or later this year.

You know, if Obama plays his cards right maybe he can sign away our national sovereignty and our freedom of religion and freedom of speech at the same time in December.

Finally, I was disgusted to learn that Seinfeld creator Larry David thinks that urinating on a portrait of Jesus Christ is funny and playful. I wonder if we can claim that we're offended and have him prosecuted under the new Hates Crimes law that Obama just signed. Nope! Oh, that's right, I completely forgot! Silly me! He would've had to have urinated on a portrait of a homosexual like Chad Allen, Neil Patrick Harris, Clay Aiken, Lance Bass, Rosie O'Donnell, or Ellen DeGeneres because this new law only covers them as a protected class.

I chose these news stories for a reason. They clearly demonstrate that we, more than any generation before us, have more reason to believe that we're living in the prophesied end times that Jesus Himself spoke of.

Why? Well, simply put, these are just a handful of the many specific prophecies that the Bible (some prophetic books written 2,000+ years ago!) talked about that are happening -- for the first time, all at the same time -- right before our very eyes! I mean, we haven't even mentioned these developments in relation to other prophetically significant headlines of the day like Israel, Iran, the Middle East, Russia, Biotechnology/Cloning, Religious Persecution, Extreme Weather, and Immorality.

The key difference between then and now is that this is not only the first time that all these specific prophecies are occurring, but also the fact that they're all happening at the same time is what should give us pause and get our undivided attention.

The Bible is clear: The end times, last days, Tribulation (however you choose to label this time period) will need a "One World Everything" to be in place in order for the Antichrist to be able to rise to power by taking control of that global apparatus and using it to exert his will upon humanity.

Surely, the pieces are being moved into place at a rapid pace these days. I strongly urge you to prayerfully consider these facts and share the good news of the Gospel with others before it's too late.

Luke 21:28 (KJV) And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.

Keep looking up. Lord come quickly.

We already know the price of admission for the secularists in their New World Order. Praise God that we have His Word to tell us quite plainly the price of admission into the Kingdom of Heaven:

Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Being Steadfast And Unmovable

This is another excellent reminder from David Wilkerson who reminds us of a few important truths no matter what we're up against spiritually.

Take 5 minutes and start you day by reading
"Being Steadfast And Unmovable".

My favorite part?

God is urging us through this verse: "Stop passing a verdict over your work for me. You have no business judging how effective you’ve been. And you have no right to call yourself a failure. You don’t yet know what kind of influence you’ve had. You simply don’t have the vision to know the blessings that are coming to you." Indeed, we won’t know many such things until we stand before him in eternity.

While the devil is lying to you, saying that all you’ve done is in vain, that you’ll never see your expectations fulfilled, God in his glory is preparing a greater blessing. He has better things in store, beyond anything you could think or ask.

Amen.

2012 Hype - Notable Quotable

"Don't worry about the Mayans, rogue planets, pole shifts, earthquakes, or mass coronal ejections. Instead, our biggest threats come from humanity's contempt for human life, nature, morality, and the push to institutionalize this contempt in a global consolidation of economic and political power. The economic crisis is just the beginning. The outcome of this crisis may be a global war like none before. Beware of those of the new age who claim to have the answers for a new enlightenment. Beware of the great deception and those who offer an easy solution to your problems. There is only one way, truth, and life. Try looking that up on Google."

10 Facts About H1N1/Swine Flu Vaccine (And A Glimpse Into Our Likely Future)

I saw this posted on Not Another CONspiracy awhile back and felt it was important to share especially now with all the talk of a "national emergency" and such.

Before we get started though, let's remember what was revealed in the "Bombshell: Hallelujah! Mainstream Media Gets It Right For Once!" piece. If you're short on time, then here's a quick overview for you to watch:

CDC Guesstimated H1N1 Cases, Refused CBS Freedom Of Information Act Request!



Unbelievable. It turns out that the a massive percentage of test results were NOT the H1N1/Swine Flu. With a lot of cases, it wasn't even the regular Flu! As CBS intelligently points out, these exaggerated cases and statistics would have had an impact on medical treatments and hospitals resources. Case closed, right? Even so, CBS continues to push the fear. Notice how the word "epidemic" is used several times throughout this 10-minute clip.

Oh yeah, and let's not forget a February 2008 news story that shows how the government conceded to the vaccine-Autism link in a case in Federal Court. Now What? That's pretty conclusive, is it not?

Ok, let's return to our regularly scheduled program. Check out these 10 facts about the H1N1/Swine Flu vaccine:


by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
via:
freerepublic.com

(
NaturalNews) She was deathly afraid of the flu. So she asked her doc what she should do. He jabbed her unseen With a swine flu vaccine Blurting, "Darling, I haven't a clue." - by the Health Ranger

Let's not beat around the bush on this issue: The swine flu vaccines now being prepared for mass injection into infants, children, teens and adults have never been tested and won't be tested before the injections begin. In Europe, where flu vaccines are typically tested on hundreds (or thousands) of people before being unleashed on the masses, the European Medicines Agency is allowing companies to skip the testing process entirely.

And yet, amazingly, people are lining up to take the vaccine, absent any safety testing whatsoever. When the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. announced a swine flu vaccine trial beginning in early August, it was inundated with phone calls and emails from people desperate to play the role of human guinea pigs. The power of fear to herd sheeple into vaccine injections is simply amazing...

Back in Europe, of course, everybody gets to be a guinea pig since no testing will be done on the vaccine at all. Even worse, the European vaccines will be using adjuvants -- chemicals used to multiply the potency of the active ingredients in vaccines.

Notably, there is absolutely no safety data on the use of adjuvants in infants and expectant mothers -- the two groups being most aggressively targeted by the swine flu vaccine pushers. The leads us to the disturbing conclusion that the swine flu vaccine could be a modern medical disaster. It's untested and un-tried. Its ingredients are potentially quite dangerous, and the adjuvants being used in the European vaccines are suspected of causing neurological disorders.

Paralyzed by vaccines I probably don't need to remind you that in 1976, a failed swine flu vaccine caused irreparable damage to the nervous systems of hundreds of people, paralyzing many. Medical doctors gave the problem a name, of course, to make it sound like they knew what they were talking about: Guillain-Barre syndrome. (Notably, they never called it "Toxic Vaccine Syndrome" because that would be too informative.)

But the fact remains that doctors never knew how the vaccines caused these severe problems, and if the same event played out today, all the doctors and vaccine pushers would undoubtedly deny any link between the vaccines and paralysis altogether. (That's what's happening today with the debate over vaccines and autism: Complete denial.)

In fact, there are a whole lot of things you'll never be told by health authorities about the upcoming swine flu vaccine. For your amusement, I've written down the ten most obvious ones and published them below.

Ten things you're not supposed to know about the swine flu vaccine (At least, not by anyone in authority...)

#1 - The vaccine production was "rushed" and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu vaccine this fall...

#2 - Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

#3 - The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.

#4 - Doctors still don't know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they're not testing it, either...)

#5 - Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren't responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).

#6 - No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That's an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.

#7 - Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don't need one! (Because it can't spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated...

#8 - Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket -- even if you don't get the jab -- because it's all paid by the taxpayers.

#9 - When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: "The number saved is far greater than the number lost." Of course, the number "saved" is entirely fictional... imaginary... and exists only in their own warped heads.

#10 - The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren't completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn't some sort of blue dye that we could tag 'em with for future reference...)

The lottery, they say, is a tax on people who can't do math. Similarly, flu vaccines are a tax on people who don't understand health.


Thus, those 10 key points summarize everything I object to when it comes to the Pharmaceutical Industry and their vaccines, but particularly this H1N1/Swine Flu vaccine.

One more fact I simply must include (un-related to H1N1/Swine Flu, but relevant nonetheless) is something I just read about the Gardasil HPV vaccine scam:

How many have died from the HPV vaccine? How many have been saved? How much money has been made? In the clinical studies alone, 23 girls died after receiving either Gardasil or the Aluminum control injection. 15 of the 13,686 girls who received Gardasil died, while 8 died among the 11,004 who received the Aluminum shot. There was only one death among the group that had a saline placebo. What this means is that 1 out of every 912 who received Gardasil in the study died. The cervical cancer death rate is 1 out of every 40,000 women per year.

There you have it folks. Case closed (again). Yet, there will be some who still refuse to accept any of these truths no matter what because to do so would mean they'd have to openly admit to themselves and others that they don't trust The-Powers-That-Be and that can be a frightening reality when you first move into it.

Maybe if we start to show them what could happen here in the U.S. in just a few short weeks unless people begin to voice their concerns and call them out over these half-truths and outright lies. Ok, well, what might we show them then? What is looming as our potential future reality?

Mass Vaccinations Begins in Quebec, Canada



As I type this, a massive and unprecedented media campaign is underway in Canada to seduce people into voluntarily receiving the H1N1/Swine Flu shot at mass vaccination sites which intend to vaccinate 75,000 people per day, with a goal of giving 75% of the population the shot when all is said and done.

This is being done simultaneously with the latest announcement from the Canadian Health Minister that Canada has just entered the second wave of H1N1/Swine Flu. However, that report is curious, since a new poll (also released at the same time) shows that few Canadians are interested in getting the H1N1/Swine Flu shot.

Can their really be a genuine "health crisis" if people aren't too worried about it? I mean, how serious can the threat be? If what the Health Minister says is true, then wouldn't you expect to see the opposite results in a poll like that since it stands to reason that people would know someone who has the flu and would therefore want it to protect themselves?

So what about this vaccination plan in Quebec? Citizens are to receive cards in the mail telling them when, according to their age and health status, that it is their turn to present themselves at those mass vaccination sites to receive their shots. The Canadian vaccine, manufactured by GSK, is Pandemrix, which contains the dangerous adjuvant, squalene, as well as thimerosal (mercury). The media is outright lying to the public about the presence of these ingredients and the dangers posed by them.

In July of this year, the Quebec government passed a law allowing them to forcibly vaccinate people under a "public health emergency". While the vaccine is "voluntary" at this time despite the cards instructing them when and where to go, it remains to be seen whether these powers will eventually be enacted against the refusers.

Not personal enough for you? Maybe it doesn't have the same impact since it's a foreign country. That's ok because I have something just for you then if you're one of those rare breeds of skeptics.

Child Vaccinated At School -- AGAINST PARENTS WISHES!!!



Let's quickly recap so that it sinks in here. Due to health problems this young boy has, his parents specifically told the school NOT to vaccinate, but the school went on and sprayed the Medimunne Nasal Spray up his nose! They're claiming it was "an accident", and accidents do happen, but come on. That's unacceptable in my book.

THE PARENTS DID NOT GIVE THEIR CONSENT! THIS SCHOOL HAS BROKEN FEDERAL LAW! THIS YOUNG BOY COULD HAVE DIED!

By law, the school has to have signed consent from the guardians or parents. They, BY LAW, have got to show a VACCINE INFORMATION SHEET also know as a VIS. Again, this is a FEDERAL LAW that has been broken, and a gross injustice.

Like I said in an earlier post today, I kinda feel like we've already beat this topic into the ground but then I think of all those family members and friends who are still reluctant to accept the truth of the matter. I mean, what do I know? I'm not a doctor. No, I guess that's true. Thankfully, these people in this next video clip are all doctors.

Doctors Speak Out About H1N1 VACCINE DANGERS



What's interesting to me is how this discussion is now evolving (mutating is a better word for obvious reasons) at least in these parts. What do I mean? I'll end by letting Ed from Not Another CONspiracy fill in the blanks:

I'll admit that most of us are aware or at the least, skeptical of the numbers released by the CDC and even the WHO as to the number of swine flu cases and deaths in the United States and around the world. If you've been following along here or elsewhere, you know what I'm speaking about.

Here's one question I haven't found an answer to at this moment. If the number of cases reported to the CDC and the WHO are not H1N1 swine flu [ as you will see in the video below and the links above ], and it's not the regular, normal, run of the mill seasonal flu; What is it that is causing all these people in America and around the World to seek medical attention?

Forget the numbers for a moment and ask yourself; What is making people sick? Is this an over reaction because of all the propaganda that has accompanied the swine flu? I wonder. I also wonder again, what is it that is causing people to have symptoms comparable to swine flu, the seasonal flu, and even a cold; and be none of the mentioned? What is giving people fevers, chills, body aches, runny noses, sore throats, coughs; causing severe illness and deaths?

You by now should have an uneasy feeling. You know where this is going. SO here it is. Is what is happening some form of a
Biological attack; unrelated to even a new flu strain ? If it were, we would never know. Our government would not tell us. You know that and I know that, and you know why. Think of the disruption it would cause. Is something worse on the horizon ? Is this why even though the data suggest no need to panic, President Obama has declared a National Emergency? This is yet again a time of many questions and no answers.

At this point, knowing what we know about this circus, and knowing how close we are to the Tribulation, I wonder if no question is out of bounds any more.

Now, if you're not a regular visitor to this site just ask yourself why those in power would want to do something evil like that to us because I know you're smart enough to figure it out on your own. Gosh, I bet you've even had suspicions intuitively lately.

But on the off chance that you're still having trouble connecting the dots, I invite you to stick around these parts, and to come back again because we'll show you how this story was written thousands of years ago and how the outcome can be found in the pages of the Holy Bible.

The short answer is that it's about a few things really. Money. Control. Fear. Power. End Times.

Regardless of where you're coming from as you visit this site and read this today, please join me in saying one of the following prayers since one of them will most certainly apply:

"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 You sent Your one and only Son Jesus Christ, and that He 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. Please count me worthy to escape the things to come. Amen."

If you're already a saved Christian, but you haven't repented for your sins or sought the Lord for His mercy, forgiveness, salvation, or prayed that you are counted worthy to escape the things to come as we're instructed to, if you haven't done all these things in awhile, then please say the following prayer right now:

"Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O Lord. Lord I turn from all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your commands all the days of my life. Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart anew today, and I ask forgiveness for all of my sin. Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins and for forgiving me of them through your shed blood for me on the cross. Please take away all the sinful 'old things' in my heart that defile me, and replace them with the 'good things' that you desire to grow in to my life. Please wash away all the sinful crud and tendencies toward evil and replace them with a hunger and thirst for your righteousness. I need your help, Lord God, in living this new life in Christ. Please send your Holy Spirit afresh into my life to help me, heal me, lead me and transform me. I also pray that your shed blood washes over me, protects me, and that I am counted worthy to escape the things that are coming upon this world in the form of your righteous judgment. Lastly, I pray that you have mercy on this nation even though we deserve your fierce judgment for our blatant sins that are before you. Help us to see the error in our ways as individuals and as a nation, and lead us to repentance before it's too late for us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Now that we're back on the right track in this life, let's all use what little precious time we have left drawing that much closer to God while sharing His life-saving message with as many people as we can before it's too late for us and too late for them. Why is that the next step? Because when we accept Jesus Christ (or recommit ourselves to Him) it's the starting gun -- not the finish line.

Lord come quickly. Keep our hearts and minds from fear at what may or may not come.

Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

I'm Not A Doctor, But I'm Not Stupid Either

Ok, just a couple of quick things on this whole H1N1/Swine Flu stuff. I know it probably feels like we've beat this one into the ground already, but I just have to get a couple of things off my chest.

Let me just start by saying that while I know that scoffers will come, I can't imagine what Jeremiah must've felt after his 40 some years of warning the people and pleading with them to just open their eyes to the truth, which all fell on deaf ears.

Whoever came up with the phrase "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink..." was an absolute genius. Still, that doesn't lessen the frustration I have towards family and friends who continue to live in denial even after I referred them to what I thought was the definitive study that would end this whole debate once and for all; the commentary titled "Bombshell: Hallelujah! Mainstream Media Gets It Right For Once!" that was published just a couple of days ago.

I sent that link to EVERYONE on my personal contact list -- again, family and friends. Out of about 50 or so emails that were sent out to individuals, ONLY three people responded (my mom and my dad were two of the three respondents). Now, I don't expect everyone to respond especially if you already agree with me, but I expected to generate some discussion from what I sent.

Also interesting to note was the fact that of those three who responded, one still says he's getting the Flu vaccine for his two small children (one is an infant), and he even admitted that he wanted to get them the H1N1/Swine Flu vaccine, but it's not available yet.

Sometimes I wonder why I waste my time. Ok, sorry, I don't really mean that. I know that I'm just asked to plant seeds. Even so, I'm just saddened because lately a lot of these same people have made it very clear that they think I'm being paranoid. Others have actually insinuated that I'm making all of this up. The rest just don't care and could care less about all of this stuff. God help them! Right, I'm the "crazy" one because I'm just trying to inform my family and friends because I care about them and don't want to see them get hurt.

Look, I have no problem with people and families deciding what's best for them. If they decide they want to take the vaccines, then fine by me. This is America after all. What I do have a problem with, however, is people and families deciding to take it when they're not fully informed, or when they have swallowed the fear and lies that are being fed to them daily.

That reminds me! This is just another example of how people have lost the ability to reason, and of how common sense is virtually non-existent these days.

Let's think about my motivations for a moment. How do I stand to benefit from getting family and friends to believe what I'm telling them, and from getting them to refuse to take the vaccines? Other than perhaps a boost to my ego and pride, and maybe even getting them to seek the truth for themselves, I don't benefit at all! Sure, I might sleep a little more peacefully at night knowing that my loved ones are not willingly leading themselves to the slaughter, but there are no tangible benefits.

Now, on the flip side, how does the government and the pharmaceutical drug manufacturers stand to benefit by getting people to believe what they're telling them, and from getting them to take the vaccines? Duh! They stand to earn millions and billions of dollars! Pretty tangible, eh?

So, who has a greater motivation to lie to you about this whole sordid mess!?! It's absolutely preposterous to me that family and friends can't make this basic connection. It frustrates and saddens me too because I try to take all the hard work out of the process (by doing hours of research for them) and provide them with the appropriate links to articles, statistics, and videos and it still has no effect whatsoever. Gosh, I'm beginning to wonder if people even take the time to look at the things I send them, or if they see my name and simply click the Delete Button instead.

Moving on, I want to highlight an experience my wife and I had yesterday. You'll recall that it was only a month ago when we took the kids in for their annual physical and I debated their Physician who lectured me when he tried to give me a history lesson on what happened in 1918, and why "we need to be smart about things" this time around. I know I'm a youthful looking 30-year-old, but I don't like like I'm in Junior High. I do have a brain. Anyway, we want back-and-forth until I scored a verbal knockout punch citing some facts that he couldn't refute. I hated to have to do that in front of his Intern too.

Fast forward to Monday. That was the day when Mrs. JRed came down with something awful. Aside from the sniffles and a minor cough, the kids and I were completely fine (actually, I was symptom free and still am!), but Wifey was another story. So, we both took the day off from work, and drove in to see her doctor. The doctor was convinced she had the flu although he never went so far as to call it the H1N1/Swine Flu variety.

Interestingly, this was after he took her temperature that read 98.6, and after she told him she didn't have a temperature at all through this whole thing, and after she explained that she did not have the aches or chills, and after she explained that she still had an appetite, and after she reminded him that her mother saw him just last week with the SAME SYMPTOMS and he gave her what's called a Z-Pack for what he called Bronchitis.

His solution? To prescribe Tamiflu! No way! At that point, Mrs. JRed kindly asked if i was possible for him to give her something else because she didn't feel comfortable taking that given what she had read (and what other doctors had told her even). His answer? "Nope, I'm sorry. You have the flu and this is the only thing that will help it." She asked what she should do then since she won't be taking Tamiflu. He proceeded to tell her to continue doing everything we were already doing at home on our own! "That'll be $20 for your visit. Thank you and I hope you feel better." What a scam! Robbed blind! See, stuff like that really aggravates me. So much for the Hippocratic Oath I guess, huh? I'm no doctor, but I'm not stupid either. There's no way she has/had the flu of any kind.

Later that night, Mrs. JRed was playing Farmville (her guilty pleasure) on Facebook when our new neighbor across the street sent her an Instant Message. She was asking what was new since she hadn't seen us outside lately. Wifey filled her in. Our neighbor responded in sheer horror (this is coming from someone who already gave the Flu shot to her two young kids and couldn't wait for the Swine Flu vaccine to become available too): "What are you and everyone else gonna do!?!" To which Wifey responded: "What do you mean?" Our neighbor's response? "Well, you could die!!!"

That's when I decided it was time to grab the keyboard and conduct a little social experiment. She wasn't one of the people I sent my latest email to so I wanted to see how she would respond to some cold, hard facts. Here's what I typed:

"Actually, my mother-in-law's a Nurse and from all the research we've done it's pretty compelling that this whole H1N1/Swine Flu stuff is nothing by hype and fear -- the mortality rate for the H1N1/Swine Flu is LESS THAN the annual mortality rate for the regular seasonal flu. That's using the CDC's (government's) own data too."

I was curious to see how someone would respond when presented with the facts. We waited for like 5-10 minutes before a response came back. Here's what she wrote:

"They're calling it the young person's disease though."

Not sure what that meant although I assumed she was trying to make the point that it is affecting the young more than the elderly (as if the mortality rate only applies to old people or something). That was all she wrote in response as she just plowed her way right by the truth as if I never even shared that with her. Unreal. Indicative of how far we've fallen as a society when common sense no longer exists, and people allow others to do the thinking (and deciding) for them without looking into things first. I bet Satan is salivating to get a hold of these people!

It's a funny thing when you use the CDC's own data to make a case against them. Sadly, people have become too apathetic these days to connect even the most simple dots like that. No, I'm not a doctor, but I'm not stupid either.

I just wish family and friends would take the time to seriously consider the evidence because they're not a bunch of idiots either.

U.S. Navy's New Slogan

The U.S. Navy changed their slogan -- again.

Only this time, it's indicative of how quickly we're approaching the New World Order also known to us students of Bible prophecy as the One World Government.

The Navy’s new recruiting slogan? "America’s Navy: A Global Force For Good".



Good to see a majority opposed to such a statement, but still. It's coming folks.

Is there any doubt that a global military apparatus (if not only a mindset) is emerging front and center at a precise moment in time when we are seeing a host of additional signs that the last days prophesied in the Holy Bible are upon us?

That's no accident. It's much later than we think.

October 27, 2009

Recent Warnings, NASA, Ares, Latvia, James Cromwell And...Full Disclosure?

Let's face it, symbolism is an integral part of prophecy. It is used throughout the Bible, but definitely a key component to prophecy. What would the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation be without the use of symbols? Thus, it behooves us to try to understand the role that symbolism has played throughout the course of history as well as the vital role it continues to play today.

Surely, there are some people out there who will say that any serious study of symbolism in relation to the Bible and its prophecies is one big load of crap. Not only that, they think it may rightly be considered heresy since they feel it really is deceptive and keeps us from studying and thinking about what they say is really important.

While that's obviously an important question to consider and ask ourselves (let alone take to the Lord in prayer), another important question we should be asking ourselves is whether or not this is EXACTLY what Satan wants us to believe to keep us from searching for God and developing a deeper relationship with Him through a search for the truth.

I mean, after all, who are we to decide what's "important" and what's "not important" when it comes to God and His Word as found in the Holy Bible? It's either all or nothing. We can't simply pick and choose for ourselves. It doesn't work that way.

Yes, Christianity is a "revealed religion," it’s not an esoteric religion. The Bible speaks for itself and the Spirit leads us to understanding of it. For these reasons alone, these people suggest that to study things like symbolism, to give them an important role in all of this, is to pervert the Bible. Again, I get what they're saying and we should consider that possibility. At the same time, why did God put so much symbolism in His Holy Bible especially pertaining to the end times if it was "heresy" and unimportant?

We're the ONLY creatures on the planet that use symbols in reference to something else. We use symbols for absolutely EVERYTHING the mind can conceive of. Is it any wonder then that God in His infinite wisdom decided to wrap His prophecies for the end times in a similar language? However, I believe He always intended for us to reach the same conclusions, but on our own accord, by our own efforts, and through our own thirst for the knowledge of the truth (obtained only through aggressively seeking Him and studying His Word), instead of solely relying on others to interpret things for us and doing the work we were meant to do.

Again, we must ask ourselves why God cloaked Bible prophecies in symbols?

Luke 8:10 (KJV) And He said, 'To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

Many of the apocalyptic prophecies were given while the prophets were in a hostile foreign land. Perhaps one reason God cloaked the prophecies in symbols was to protect the messages so that only those who truly desired to know the truth would understand by applying Proverbs 25:2. Let's begin today's sign spotting exercise.

Hosea 4:5-10 (KJV) Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

Funny how things come together sometimes. No, nothing of earth-shattering significance happened on Sunday or yesterday, but I'm left wondering if it still counts as a "hit" should an earth-shattering/paradigm-shifting event happen later today on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 (a day or two off from everyone's projections) instead.

Either way, nothing will change the fact that the Lord is still preparing to strike this nation and the world for her sins in such a way that will undoubtedly force millions to their knees in repentance begging for deliverance and mercy.

That truth resonates with me on a deep and personal level, and it took me on another unbelievable -- AND HIGHLY SPECULATIVE -- journey today that takes us from the state of Florida to the European nation of Latvia and beyond. What do the two places have in common? How might recent and upcoming events in those geographic regions suggest what's to come? Take a quick walk with me. If nothing else, we'll document some more absolutely surreal observations of POTENTIAL spiritual convergence during these end times. Again, I'm just watchin' and wonderin' about all of this; nothing more, nothing less.

NASA's at it again! Yes, that's right folks. Fresh off the "success" of the highly-publicized Moon mission a few weeks back -- one that clearly exhibited some occult if not also prophetic significance -- the next high profile space mission will be the launch of the Ares I-X Rocket.

Here was one of the first highly publicized images to come out to promote this mission:



Ares I-X is the first test flight in the Ares I development program. Ares I is a launch system for human spaceflights being developed by NASA. Ares I vehicles are intended to launch Orion crew exploration vehicles.

Here's a look at the flight path and how things are expected to play out during the 2-minute, 30-second test:



A 2:30 minute test flight, huh?

Joel 2:30 (KJV) And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. (emphasis mine)

Along with the Ares V launch system and the Altair lunar lander, Ares I and Orion are part of NASA's Constellation Program, which is developing spacecraft for U.S. human spaceflight after the Space Shuttle fleet is retired.

Thus, man will become like a god as he roams the heavens freely (or so they think). How appropriate then that we see this idea communicated subtly through the images associated with this mission. Check out the Tower of Babel imagery in the official Mission Patch with 11 stars:



Of course, the name "Ares" alone is ripe with mythological and therefore occult significance especially to those in the halls of power around the globe. When you consider the following, it's tough not to wonder what the Brotherhood of Darkness is up to this time around:

> In Greek Mythology, Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. Though often referred to as the Olympian god of warfare, he is more accurately the god of bloodlust, or slaughter personified. There may also be a connection with the Roman war god Mars. Fitting, huh?

> His symbols? The vulture, burning torch, helmet, and spear.

> Ares had a quadriga -- a chariot drawn by four gold-bridled (Iliad v.352) fire-emitting immortal stallions. The Book of Zechariah comes to mind. I guess Elijah too in a sense. Was it the same for you?

> Ares' companions in war? Deimos ("terror") and Phobos ("fear"), which is ridiculously too convenient because here we are looking at the spiritual significance of the NASA Ares 1-X test flight -- a test that will have a MAJOR IMPACT on the future of the space program mainly as it relates to a manned mission to Mars -- and Phobos comes up. Need I remind you of Buzz Aldrin's stunning comments regarding a "monolith" on the Mars Moon Phobos!

> According to Argonautica (ii.382ff and 1031ff; Hyginus, Fabulae 30) the birds of Ares (Ornithes Areioi) were a flock of feather-dart-dropping birds that guarded the Amazons' shrine of the god on a coastal island in the Black Sea. That's odd. Why? Well, because
a meteorite-like object crashed into a meadow in northern Latvia, creating a crater 27 feet (9 meters) wide and 9 feet (3 meters) deep (on the same day that meteorite-like object was filmed during a LIVE news broadcast in Seattle, WA!). Riga, Latvia is only a hop-skip-and-a-jump from the Black Sea! Unreal!

(THIS JUST IN: Apparently, the whole thing is now being reported as a "hoax" much like the Balloon Boy saga. Even if it is a hoax, that's still some odd convergence, wouldn't you say? That the hoaxers would pick that location that correlates to our study here today. And what's up with 2 "hoaxes" in the last few weeks that both clearly contribute to the "We Are Not Alone" meme even if on a subconcious level? Psy-Op 101 courtesy of Satan!)

Sticking with the apparent "spiritual juxtaposition" found in Latvia for a moment...

> Interesting to note that Latvia's National Trees are the Linden Tree and the Oak Tree. Is there prophetic significance in any of this for us -- is this a harbinger of doom -- since the Oak Tree Prophecy and the Linden Tree Prophecy (the original HERE) came up a lot in past months in relation to God's judgment upon this nation? Even if there's not, what are the odds!?!

> The Daugava River is not only Latvia’s largest, but also historically most important river. This 375 km river flows through the heart of Latvia and the center of Riga. Celebrated by poets as ‘The River of Destiny’, the river was first used by Vikings as the first leg of The Amber Road, a major trade route linking the lands around the Baltic and Black Seas.

> Latvia’s "Freedom Monument" was completed in the nation’s capital of Riga in 1935, and is the single-most important symbol of Latvia’s independence and nationhood. The woman at the top is none other than Liberty, and she symbolizes Latvia’s freedom and sovereignty. She holds aloft three gilded stars. The sculptures and bas-reliefs of the monument, arranged in thirteen groups, depict Latvian culture and history. The core of the monument is composed of tetragonal shapes on top of each other. After several contests, the monument was finally built at the beginning of the 1930s according to the scheme "Shine like a star!" submitted by Latvian sculptor Kārlis Zāle.

> The
Areopagus, the "Mount of Ares" is where Paul of Tarsus preached, and it was from this location that the Apostle Paul is said to have delivered the famous speech, "Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands" (Acts 17:23). Watch how this all comes together to today's topic.

While Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. So, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with him. Some of them asked, "What is this babbler trying to say?" Others remarked, "He seems to be advocating foreign gods." They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we want to know what they mean." All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with the inscription: To An Unknown God. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you." (Acts 17:16-23)

Our Lord in His infinite wisdom sent a scholar of His own, the Apostle Paul, right into the very seat of contemporary scholarship in the ancient world -- the city of Athens. A common misconception today is that in Paul’s time man was not all that intellectual, but this was actually a time of great learning. It’s also interesting to note here that so-called "modern" man fancies himself as so much wiser than these poor ignorant people in the first century.

I wonder then, why is it that our Western world is still so heavily influenced by these ancient Greek philosophers like Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle? And why is it that our leading intellectuals bow before them still in worship in front of their sacred cow of philosophy? Or, to remain consistent with the focus of our study today, why it it that our leading intellectuals bow down before NASA in worship in front of their sacred cow of science/technology?


So, needless to say, there's more than enough symbolism inherrent to all of this. As if that weren't enough, let's take a look at NASA's promotional poster for this mission:


Is that the "Hope & Change" Obama logo on the rocket's tippy top nose section? No, but it sure does suggest the thought doesn't it? Subtle. Nice to see winged creatures (bat I presume) flying by not drawn to scale. And check out the logo for the Constellation Program in the lower left hand corner. There's that vector again. Three "half moon-like" drawings recall the three gilded stars that Lady Liberty is holding in the Latvian Freeddom Monument too. Wow. Quite a bit there, huh?

Anyway, you can read NASA's original

Press Release on this media campaign too if you want, but here's an interesting excerpt:

As has always been the case with the Ares-1 team, they like to hype the drama of the impending Ares 1-X launch with faux movie posters. In this case, with the most recent in a series of launch delays, the new launch date is on Halloween.

Halloween. Otherwise known as "The Night of the Living Dead", huh? How appropriate that Ares 1-X shall light up the skies on that night (not so fast! stay tuned).

As Susan C (who sent me this link weeks ago) commented: "A bit bizarre that the launch date is 10/31/09 and they have created a Halloween themed poster to hype this. Or, maybe it's just par for the course..."

Precisely. Another interesting fact (although my quick research indicates it's more like a rumor) which makes this whole story that much more bizarre is that the Ares-1X delays have pushed launching past October 1, 2009, which is in the 2010 federal fiscal year -- for which there is no current budget!

Are employees going to be paid from a Halloween fantasy budget? Some employees currently associated with fiscal year 2009 Ares-1X tasks do not expect any future funding for fiscal year 2010, and they do not know what their new tasks will be, or how their salaries are going to be paid in fiscal year 2010.

Hmmm...Maybe that's because this is the NASA mission that will finally set the stage for "man's rightful place in the stars" if not the one that undeniably proves that "we are not alone", catapulting the world into a new Space Age and that much closer to the Great Deception and Tribulation.

Don't laugh because that's exactly what NASA's hoping for (ok, minus the Great Deception/Tribulation part; at least publicly anyway). This is the mission (and the rocket) that will propel them into a brave new world -- cosmically speaking. The rocket, capable of producing 3.6 million pounds of thrust, is intended as a more powerful alternative to the two solid rocket boosters used to launch the Space Shuttle. Some associated with the mission have even called it the most powerful rocket on the planet.

I'm sorry, but two items come to mind that I should probably mention at this point. First, let's not forget all the buzz last week surrounding the BIG NEWS that "Full Disclosure" of so-called "extraterrestrial life" is imminent. Apparently, President Barack Obama is the man slated to make the announcement or at least lead the world towards a One World Government in the wake of such an event. Keep this in mind.

I'm not going to use this space to re-hash all the reasons why I believe the phenomenon to be an entirely spiritual one, or why I believe it will play a key role in the coming Great Deception and rise of the Antichrist. What I am going to do is quickly call our attention to Hollywood's contribution to this meme, which provides a stunning commentary (and plausible scenario) assuming that this news ("Full Disclosure" being "imminent") is legit AND assuming that the upcoming Ares 1-X Mission will be prophetically significant as well.

Again, just my thought (me thinking out loud), but I wonder: Could the Ares 1-X Mission be a real life depictment of how "First Contact" with extraterrestrial life was portrayed in the film Star Trek: First Contact?

First, a brief overview of how life may imitate art (not the other way around) one day:

Star Trek: First Contact - Legacy Of Zefram Cochrane



Now, have a look at that pivotal scene from that film and notice all the similarities:

Star Trek: First Contact - Zefram Cochrane



By the way, by his own admission, James Cromwell who starred as "Zefram Cochrane" in this film is a big supporter of SETI. Oh yeah, he also has a penchant for starring in cosmically-themed and paradigm-shifting motion pictures (and TV shows) like: Deep Impact, Space Cowboys, The Sum of All Fears, I, Robot, Dante's Inferno, "24", "Impact", Surrogates, and Pope Pius XII.

***UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!***

Those of you who made it this far were probably wondering why I spent so much time talking about a Halloween launch date for the Ares 1-X test flight. Just setting the stage is all.

That's because last week, it was announced that NASA has moved the launch date up from Halloween night to Tuesday, October 27, 2009 instead. In fact, assuming the weather cooperates, the launch will take place in just a few hours from now at 8am EST.

Nevermind the obvious question of much in taxpayer dollars was wasted on the "Halloween Launch" media campaign, I want to know if this "flexible schedule" is the reason why so many got it wrong when it came to all the ominous predictions for Sunday and Monday. That brings me back to my original question from the beginning of this piece: Is it still classified as a "hit" is some paradigm-shifting event occurs later today in conjunction with this NASA mission?

If so, and just in the ridiculous chance that this speculation is accurate (that the Ares 1-X Mission will somehow play into the entire so-called "Full Disclosure" process), then isn't it VERY INTRIGUING to also learn that President Obama is in Florida at this very moment too!?!

One final note and question. I read that the Ares I-X flight is the first of three planned test flights for the Ares I rocket. The next launch, dubbed Ares I-Y, is slated to launch in 2014 and will include a "real" second stage. Can somone explain why it will take 4-5 years before the second test? And what is meant by the "real" verbiage? Does this have to do with the budgetary concerns or are we ignoring the obvious?

One final key comment on Acts 17:16 by Matthew Henry -- "[Paul] was filled with concern for the glory of God, which he saw given to idols, and with compassion to the souls of men, which he saw thus enslaved to Satan" (ibid.).

A few pertinent questions spring to mind after all of this:

> Why aren’t we as concerned for the glory of God today?

> Where is our compassion for the lost especially at this late hour?

> And why is it that right now we can see this country so obviously following the "idols" of science, technology, NASA, the theory of evolution, and sexual immorality, and on and on, and yet we ourselves are not greatly distressed or feeling our spirits being provoked within?


Food for spiritual thought, which prompts me to conclude with words written by Daniel over at Prayers For The People from that urgent June 2009 post:

America has come before the Judge and been found wanting. She is past due for her judgment. The remnant have been told to prepare, the obedient have done so. Men, women, and children alike will be caught in the ensuing events, some prepared, most have not. It grieves me to know more could have been saved, if only they would have listened.

I believe in the coming days, there will be a nuclear attack(s), earthquakes, tsunami, asteroid(s), collapse of the US economy, famine, pestilence, and the return of the Fallen ones, or Nephilim. This is just for starters.

The events will happen so close together that only the prepared children of Yahweh will seem to have a grip. I wish more would have listened, I wish more had heeded, and I mourn for those who had the chance but rejected truth.

My spirit is in a state of urgency unlike any day before, every hour, every second is one more closer to utter devastation. It hurts to see so many scoff, mock, and ridicule the message that has come forth. Many pastors and shepherds are too blind to understand the severity of our current hour. Too blind to inform and educate the congregations of the ensuing destruction, too blind to instruct the body to flee Babylon.

When it comes down, many, too many will die as a result of such blindness. Christian and sinner alike. Many Christians will die in the days ahead, only to get realize they could have been used in a different way if they had only sought Yahweh.

Men claiming the message of Yahweh as their own, men playing as prophets and watchmen, forgetting that it is the words out of our mouths that we are judged by, held accountable for, and will have to stand before the Almighty Yahweh with. The very thought of standing before Yahweh causes me to tremble, much less if I had spoken any vain thing in His name.

Trials and tribulation are in store for this world. Babylon will be destroyed, and all will inevitable come to know the one and only Yahweh.

If you are prepared, do not fear.


Amen! Amen! Amen!

Regardless of where you're coming from as you visit this site and read this today, please join me in saying one of the following prayers since one of them will most certainly apply:

"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 You sent Your one and only Son Jesus Christ, and that He 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. Please count me worthy to escape the things to come. Amen."

If you're already a saved Christian, but you haven't repented for your sins or sought the Lord for His mercy, forgiveness, salvation, or prayed that you are counted worthy to escape the things to come as we're instructed to, if you haven't done all these things in awhile, then please say the following prayer right now:

"Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O Lord. Lord I turn from all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your commands all the days of my life. Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart anew today, and I ask forgiveness for all of my sin. Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins and for forgiving me of them through your shed blood for me on the cross. Please take away all the sinful 'old things' in my heart that defile me, and replace them with the 'good things' that you desire to grow in to my life. Please wash away all the sinful crud and tendencies toward evil and replace them with a hunger and thirst for your righteousness. I need your help, Lord God, in living this new life in Christ. Please send your Holy Spirit afresh into my life to help me, heal me, lead me and transform me. I also pray that your shed blood washes over me, protects me, and that I am counted worthy to escape the things that are coming upon this world in the form of your righteous judgment. Lastly, I pray that you have mercy on this nation even though we deserve your fierce judgment for our blatant sins that are before you. Help us to see the error in our ways as individuals and as a nation, and lead us to repentance before it's too late for us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Now that we're back on the right track in this life, let's all use what little precious time we have left drawing that much closer to God while sharing His life-saving message with as many people as we can before it's too late for us and too late for them. Why is that the next step? Because when we accept Jesus Christ (or recommit ourselves to Him) it's the starting gun -- not the finish line.

Lord come quickly. Keep our hearts and minds from fear at what may or may not come because in the end, even if today comes and goes like any other before it, we know from Your holy Word what to expect, and that we're just one step closer to that coming reality.

Luke 21:25 (KJV) And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (emphasis mine)

Luke 21:26 (KJV) Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (emphasis mine)

Luke 21:36 (KJV) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (emphasis mine)
