PLEASE READ THIS HEART-WRENCHING LETTER FROM A YOUNG PASTOR IN LONDON, AND THE REPLY BY ALAN FRANKLIN.

Please read this heart-wrenching letter from a young Pastor and his wife in London, via the excellent website of my good friends Alan and Pat Franklin. It can be found at http://www.thefreepressonline.co.uk/.

It is quite a shocking letter, for it not only depicts the path many people are taking in our country these days, but many of the people he refers to are Christians and born again belivers! Quite alarming!

                                     ***********************************

Alan writes:

This message came in from a young Christian friend:

“Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus! ….“Since we spoke I have become a student pastor at an independent Baptist church in London. The teaching and ethos of the church are great but I am really struggling with all that is going on in this country and I feel that there is nobody with whom I can share my views without being called a racist/bigot/fascist.

 “The borough I live in is extremely liberal and 'tolerant' and to openly admit to views like mine could land me in a lot of trouble. My wife understands me and shares all my views but we are feeling very isolated and lonely here. Even Christian friends whom we regarded as 'sound' believers seem to becoming more 'tolerant' towards things which they previously stood firm on.

 “A good example of this is the Baptist church which I grew up in which is shortly to have a vote on allowing women to be pastors. My wife and I are in our early thirties but we realize that this is a direct contradiction of the Bible's clear teaching. We fear for the church that we love and are dismayed that so many people seem to be wavering in their opinions and are becoming more 'open minded' when it comes to issues such as homosexuality, other religions, Israel etc.

“I know that all these things are hallmarks of the end times and that we should lift up our heads and wait for our Lord's return. However, I cannot tell you how grieved I am to see people I love and respect gradually departing from the truth whilst all along thinking that they are genuinely honoring God in doing so. I hate the way that this country is going, yet what makes it harder is that so many 'Christians' do not understand what is going on. I honestly believe that we are being sucked into a totalitarian state (as you describe in your books) but one which is made all the more sinister in that it wears the smiley face of 'tolerance.'

 “I hate to see the way that the way of life that I love is being destroyed and that our country is being meekly handed over to others who care nothing for its culture and Christian heritage. I find the way that London and other places is changing is oppressive and also the way that English people constantly have our identity mocked and derided by the elite.

“I imagine that you can identify with much of this. I know that I can be quite negative and depressive and that I should live in the joy of the Lord, not in fear of the future. All the same, I am struggling to cope at the moment.

“I hope that you don't mind me sharing all this with you. It has actually made me feel better already to be able to 'unload' in this way. I would just ask that you and Pat remember us in your prayers. We are coming to the end of our placement and are looking for a biblical church where we can serve the Lord as pastor and wife. At the moment life in London seems intolerable and it is exacerbated by the fact that whilst many Christians sail on by in blissful ignorance, we know something of what is going on in this country today and what some of the agendas are.

“May the Lord continue to bless you in your life and ministry,
Regards…. Alan adds: If any church wants a fine young pastor I will pass his name and contact number on!

As for my friend’s worry about women preachers, he is right. If those pushing the feminist agenda in churches read the Bible the SHEologians might find a few scriptures not to their liking. They think women can do anything men can do, but the Bible says: “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”  1 Timothy 2:11,12.

 As Pat writes in our book Goodbye America, Goodbye Britain (which you can buy from this website if you haven’t got a copy!): “These scriptures teach that women are not to have a public leadership ministry in the church, but there is still plenty we can do.  Jesus loves us and a woman (Mary Magdalene) was privileged to be the first person on earth to see Him after He rose from the dead.  Mary was on a mission of mercy, to take care of a practical need, and what divine favor she found!  There certainly is scope for merciful acts today.”

 The signs of the times are all around - money meltdown, (Spain, Greece etc) a great push for homosexuality to be accepted as just another lifestyle choice, the destruction of the family, the sewage-like surge of permissiveness and so on. Time is short. Men have no solutions but are just postponing the inevitable.
 Paul wrote to Timothy about the moral collapse the End Times would bring: “But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers  of God, having a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these.” 2 Timothy 3: 1-5.

Just as before the Flood and before Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, life will carry on, with eating, drinking, marrying and money making  until the rapture suddenly takes us out of the increasing chaos (Luke 17: 26- 37).

In Luke 21: 34;36 The Lord warns believers to be careful of our priorities immediately prior to the rapture: “Be on guard, that your hearts may not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day cone on you suddenly like a trap; For it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying in order that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

The signs –as in the time of Noah - clearly indicate that we are on the threshold of what is going to be the most terrible time in human history — a time of unprecedented horror, the Great Tribulation. A one-world government will soon be established with total control over all commerce. During this time a dictator referred to in the Scriptures as 'the man of lawlessness’ , ‘The Man Of Sin’ etc will be responsible for killing around half the world's population during the first half of the Tribulation. And during the second half, he will murder two-thirds of the Jewish people. My estimate is that around three quarters of the world’s population will die in those seven years.

The Second Psalm speaks of the end times world of rebellion against God and this is what we are now seeing, plus Satanically-inspired worldwide anti-Semitism. But God laughs at their antics….verse 4:
The threat against Israel looms large and has immense prophetic significance. Israel’s Chief of Staff has pointed out that Israel is the only country in the world that another nation – Iran – has said must be destroyed, and which is building nuclear weapons to do just that. Will Israel make a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s numerous nuclear sites? If so, when? It could be this year, which could lead to a sequence of prophecies being rapidly fulfilled.

In his first letter the Apostle John wrote these words to the true believers: (I John 2:18) “ Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.”

 John wrote that over 1900 years ago yet it is significant how accurately they capture the spirit of these last days. If there is a peaceful interlude now it is an uneasy peace, just as Israel is even now awaiting the next onslaught, attacks which will continue and intensify. Jets are flying practice runs over northern Israel as I speak.

 The Apostle Paul warned that we must take heed when people babble about peace and safety. Their peace is an illusion, as Israel’s is. In Ist Thessalonians 5;3 he tells us: “While they are saying ‘Peace and Safety’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

 Paul is speaking of the return of our Lord and was telling the church to be prepared – not to be lulled to sleep in the expectation of the rapture. The time of the antichrist is almost upon us and this is no time for us to rest. But there is good news in the midst of all this trouble, for the message of the Bible is that we who are believers are going to win in the end. The Tribulation will be cut short at the end of seven years with the triumphant return of Jesus. He will destroy the Antichrist and will replace him as the ruler of this world, bringing peace, righteousness and justice.
And that's not all the good news. The Bible teaches that believers are going to be taken out of this world before before the Tribulation begins. Christians will not have to face the Antichrist and his horrors.
The world is getting darker ands the antichrist spirit is abroad…in December the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution about combating intolerance, discrimination and violence on the grounds of religious belief. So far so good. But this was sponsored by the 57 nations of the Organization of Islamic Co-operation and is aimed at preventing slander of Islam- which means outlawing making statements any Muslim would dislike.

Later this year the EU is hosting a meeting to follow up on the Islamics’ bid to impose “blasphemy legislation” on all the EU to criminalize “defamation of Islam.” Yet Christianity is defamed every day on TV, radio and so on. Perhaps ten per cent of the EU population is now Islamic- and it is a young ten per cent.  Yet the good news is- Islam will not rule the world!

The Lord and his faithful church will do that for 1000 years! The church of Jesus Christ in these End Times is  a “remnant church,” which should not surprise or dismay us. Luke 18 verse 8: quotes Jesus asking: “However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” The way the question is put suggests the answer is “not much.” When many of those who love their success-driven churches go broke and lose their jobs, when serious trouble comes, will they still have faith? It depends on what their faith is placed in.

These are people who give the impression they are on the side of Jesus but they do not act in accordance with His words, which is precisely how the antichrist spirit will be manifest. Antichrist will give the impression to many that he is Christ, by being a benefactor and bringing peace, before his true nature as a son of the devil emerges.

There are many people who call themselves “Christians” but some have believed another gospel, the wrong gospel, which is no gospel at all and which will not save anyone.  Some worship another Jesus, not the real Jesus. Only those who have believed the simple, true gospel and been born again of the Holy Spirit are Christians.

All the others are impostors who have rejected the narrow way of salvation and gone some other way.  If they have added anything at all (like sacraments or church membership) to the simple gospel, they are believing another gospel. Our salvation depends solely on our faith in Jesus, with nothing added and nothing subtracted.  If they are worshiping a communion wafer, they are worshiping another Jesus, not the real Jesus.

The wheat and the tares grow together and look pretty much alike at first glance, but they are not alike.  The wheat, representing those who have believed the true gospel, has useful “fruit.” (the spiritual fruits of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance – Galatians 5:22,23).   The tares (weeds), representing false Christians, look a lot like wheat, but they have no fruit.  They might have charm, but charm is deceptive, and that charming exterior will vanish when times of stress come.  They might do some good works, but good works are like filthy rags in God’s sight unless they are filtered through faith in Jesus – the real Jesus.  Only then will our good works count for anything in Heaven.

Around the world real Christians are under persecution. In Britain we are mainly just mocked at present. Our troubles are never greater than our Helper. Jesus said: (John 16:33) “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” The victor of Calvary is with us as John says in his first epistle (1 John 4:4) “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”The world is getting darker, closer to its destruction. It’s a few seconds to midnight and we must learn to trust the Lord completely. God is still on the throne and prayer changes things.

In John 6: 16-20 we read of the disciples in grave danger.“Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea. And after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea at Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. And the sea began to be stirred  up, because a strong wind was blowing. When therefore they had rowed three or four miles, they beheld Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. But He said to them, ‘it is I, do not be afraid.’ ”

Sometimes storms blow up, but Jesus’ disciples on the Sea of Galilee rowed into the dark. The storm scared them, but they a glorious destination, Capernaum – Jesus’ home during his time on earth.
Matthew 9:1 calls it “His own city.”

Fear and uncertainty will grow as it becomes more and more obvious that the world is out of man’s control.
Jesus spoke of his coming again in great power and glory but he said something else had to happen first (Luke 21: 26)… “Men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken”.

However, Romans 8:37 says that in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
Time and again Christians in the End Times will turn to the Lord in prayer and be helped. Jesus is there at crisis points. The people of the world are often full of fear but have no comforter to turn to. The children of God can overcome fear in the name of Jesus.

However, Jesus did not promise us a small patch of heaven on earth, to quietly till until His return. This is actually an appealing prospect for me, as I look out on the garden. It is tempting to spend time there and while away the day.

However, we are given gifts to use. Jesus placed us- all of you- in this demon influenced world to spread the Gospel in word and deed to those who are not yet believers. Evil is increasing alarmingly in the world and ignorance and propaganda is promoted by our government, in the guise of learning. But we who are His are on our way to the Lord’s house, His home. On the broad path almost anything is tolerated. The only thing the world won’t tolerate is the Gospel Truth.The broad way, the world’s way, leads to destruction. It is based on lies. The narrow way is the Jesus way – He is the Truth. Absolute truth.

The Lord is preparing the believers for His soon coming. He is taking the true church out of the apostate church. Why? Because the spirit of Laodicea is at work in the nominal church.
Paul wrote to Timothy, in his first letter- (1 Timothy 4:1-3) “But the Spirit explicitly says that in latter times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience with a branding iron, Men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.”

Here we see, among others, the Catholic church, a major part of the Great Whore Church of the last days – forbidding marriage, banning meat on Fridays and so on. God calls their ideas “doctrines of demons,” yet most of the church in Britain today will happily join with them in ecumenical events. If you disagree you will probably be called a bigot or worse. Look on our website for the Table of Truth, or get our book Cults and Isms: True or False? From our web shop. It examines and dismisses, with full scriptural references, the claims of cults and false religions.

The church at Laodicea was smug, self satisfied – a very purpose driven place. Revelation 3:17 describes it like this: “Because you say I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.

There are churches today which have  big numbers. Some are even good churches. Some are following business-like formulas for success, which means people in pews. But these established churches can be lonely places. And how good is the teaching? What do even the ministers really know about the Bible? True life and warmth can only be found with a personal relationship with Jesus. Trends like The Emerging Church bring the New Age and mysticism into what passes for Christianity today. We are warned to take heed that no man deceives us- deception is the hallmark of the End Times church.

Those who like labyrinths and mysticism should read Leviticus 10: 1-2: “Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. And fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.”

This is how God judged two sons of the high priest! Yet there is strange fire in churches today. Fake blessings, fake revelations, fake prophecies, false manifestations of the spirit. We need to watch for it and beware. No church is safe from it.

The Lord made this offer to Laodicea: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20.)
Although we seem small and unimportant, we are not alone. The Creator of the universe is with us, in us and watching over us. If we trust in Him we will have an eternal reward. Remember that the grass withers, the flower fades but the word of God shall stand forever, according to Isaiah 40:8.
Writing to the Corinthian church, Paul had this to say: “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Visible reality all around us is often bad or just disappointing. But this world is not our home. We are in it but not of it.  In the pages of the Bible we read of “evidence of things not seen.”
In 2 Kings Elisha was in the city of Dothan and the King of Syria was surrounding the city with a great force of horsemen and chariots. Elisha’s servant is afraid, but Elisha tells him that there are more on the Israelites’ side than are against them. Elisha asks God to open the man’s spiritual eyes and he sees a mountain full of the chariots of fire and horses of Israel. When Syria, Iran or any other country  next attacks Israel it will discover this all over again.

Our five senses will die with us- they are temporary. The invisible is what counts – this is what the Bible is all about. Spiritual realities are a very different story to what we see in the world and right now, in Heaven, Jesus is preparing for His return in triumph. He is also preparing a place for us.

Maranatha- Come, Lord Jesus.

JACOB PRASCH ON THE DEATH OF CHUCK COLSON, A DECEIVER WHO CLAIMED TO BE A CHRISTIAN!

Chuck Colson – death of a deceiver and a man to whom the Word of God meant nothing. Opinion, by Jacob Prasch (24/04/12).

In this article our friend Jacob exposes the myths surrounding Chuck Colson, a man with no regard for Scripture although publicly accepted as a crusading Christian. That description is thrown about too easily. If you love the Lord you love His Word. Colson acted against the Gospel of Jesus Christ at every opportunity, and will be judged accordingly.

                                          ************************************
Jacob writes, "In John's Gospel Jesus spoke of those who persecuted Jewish believers but who thought they were serving God while doing evil (John 16:2 -3). They so acted because they did not know Jesus or His Father. Chuck Colson, however, was a man who did evil, claimed to know Jesus and to be "Born Again", which was the title of his book about his claimed regeneration.

Colson was the lead author of the Evangelicals and Catholics Together agreement signed by Pat Robertson, Calvinistic author J. I. Packer, John Kent of The Church of The Nazarene and the late Bill Bright. The document accepted Catholicism as scripturally Christian without reference to the fact that while the true gospel teaches that the blood of Christ cleanses from all sin, in Roman Catholicism one atones for one’s own sin in purgatory and salvation is  not by a second birth regeneration  but by 'ex oper operato' sacramental rituals.

The idolatry of graven images and worshipping bread and wine as a transubstantiated reincarnation of Jesus Christ, killing him again in the mass and eating Him in an act of religious cannibalism meant nothing to Colson. The false Christ of the Eucharist, the necromancy of prayers to the dead, and the vampire-like consumption of blood - condemned by the apostles in The Book of Acts chapter 15 - were of no more consequence to Colson than was Rome's false gospel.

Colson just did not care. The Word of God meant nothing to Chuck Colson. His actions were in open defiance of it. If it did mean anything to him he would  likely not have  received the Templeton prize for religion. Neither would he have turned his prison ministry over to a Roman Catholic.

It was Colson whom Satan ordained to persuade Evangelicals to refrain from  evangelizing Roman Catholics. As one with a Roman Catholic mother on her way to eternal hell, trusting  in scapulars and the traditions of men instead of in the true gospel of Jesus for her salvation, I loathe the legacy of this deceiver who was mislead by the devil and inspired by Satan to mislead others. There have been few agents of hell more destructive to the cause of Christ than Chuck Colson. Roman Catholics need salvation and should be given the true gospel. I suggest those foolishly supportive of Colson ask former Catholics who have been saved.

Although a convicted criminal sent to prison for political corruption , Colson was an activist who tried to identify the Republican Party with Evangelical  Christianity in his radio messages. Ronald Reagan's Hollywood divorce and remarriage, Nancy Reagan's advice to her husband acquired from the fortune tellers such as Jean Dixon she consulted, and George Bush placing a Koran which states that God has no Son, (a mark of antichrist according to 1 John) in the White House were irrelevant to Colson.

That President Eisenhower's Earl Warren-led Republican Supreme Court ordered God out of the classroom, that Nixon's Warren Berger Republican Supreme Court ordered God out of the maternity ward with Roe vs Wade, and that Reagan's pro-abortion Supreme court appointee Sandra Day O'Connor ordered God and the 10 Commandments out of the courtroom and judicial building cut no ice with Colson.

Neither did O’Connor  writing the court’s decision, based on foreign precedent, to outlaw the Texas anti-sodomy law which opened the door for the national  surge to same sex marriage: it all evaded Colson's criticism. To Colson, religion was about politics. He had been a liar for a corrupt Nixon White House and was transformed into a liar for a corrupt, pedophile-protecting Vatican.

Colson also endorsed the book Ecumenical Jihad by ex- Evangelical Peter Kreeft which  urges  ecumenical union with Islam to morally  redeem society.  Colson had an antichrist spirit and he served Satan powerfully. We shall all appear before the judgment seat of Christ and it is not for me to judge Chuck Colson. It is, however, for all of us to judge his doctrines and his ventures on the basis of God's Word. In doing so it is evident that the deeds and doctrines of Chuck Colson emanated straight from the pit of hell.

Without doubt there will be a chorus of ignorant religious cranks taking offense at these remarks concerning Chuck Colson, oblivious to the fact that everything I have written concerning Colson is irrefutably true. My only response to their silly religious rhetoric is to deal with the established facts - or don't deal at all.

CHRISTIANS, BEWARE OF WHAT KEN LIVINGSTON WANTS TO DO IN LONDON!

FW: Coming Mayoral Election: Watchman Editorial
Here is the Editorial in the May 2012 edition of "The Watchman" (Produced 3 times a year in association with Intercessors for Britain: Editor: Ray Borlase). 

I am sure they will not mind this reproduction because this is an important message that needs to be widely disseminated, as a matter of urgency. 

Here's how the Editorial reads:
==================
Mayoral Election. Never was there a clearer example of why we should pray for those in authority (see 1 Timothy 2:1-4) than the up coming election for mayor of London.  Ken Livingston has promised to turn London into a beacon for Islam if he is elected. He has pledged to "educate the masses of Londoners" in Islam saying, "That will help cement our city as a beacon that demonstrates the meaning of the words of the Prophet." (Quoted in the Daily Telegraph.)

He describes Mohammed's words as "an agenda for all humanity".  In addressing the North London Central Mosque (where Abu Hamza once held sway) he said "I want to spend the next four years making sure that every non-Muslim in London knows and understands [its] words and message." He promised the congregation he would "make your life a bit easier financially." It is very clear that he is seeking the Muslim vote to be elected.

The Finsbury Park Mosque as it was more commonly known, especially during Hamza's time, is now run by the Muslim Association of Britain.  The present spokesman for the mosque is Azzam Tamimi who has supported suicide bombers. The mosque also has links with Hamas and has supported its campaign. One of the mosque's current directors is Mohammed Sawalha. As well as masterminding Hamas's strategy he also signed the Istanbul Declaration calling for attacks on all allies of Israel, including the UK.

When Ken Livingston was previously mayor, he strongly supported the mega mosque which was proposed near the Olympic village in spite of the group (Tablighi Jama'at) having terrorist links. This Muslim sect is still trying to get permission to build a mosque for 9,500 people and is about to resubmit its plans.

This is something that every Christian should pray about because if Ken Livingston is elected, it will affect our nation as a whole.

PS. We are delighted to announce that "Red Ken" was defeated by the Tory Boris Johnson for the role of Mayor of London on May 3rd, so much of the above will be averted for the time being, Praise God.

However, Livingston won a lot of support during his campaign, and was only defeated by a slim margin, thus bucking all of the predictions of the many national polls!

Therefore, beware that this sort of "teaching" from "Red Ken" will not go away, and all belivers in the UK need to pray even more urgently for the state of our country, and the ever downhill sliding of Christian principles, and even just plain ordinary moraliity in these sad times in which we live, as prophesied in the Bible before the Lord Jesus returns (Neville).

BIBLE PROPHECY EXPERT JOEL ROSENBERG ON THE REBUILDING OF BABYLON!

IRAQ REBUILDING ITS MILITARY AND ECONOMY, EVEN AS THEY REBUILD BABYLON

Prophetic significance?
Joel C. Rosenberg(Washington, D.C., April 13, 2012) --
Watch the video below:


Bible prophecy indicates that in the End Times, the nation we know today as the Republic of Iraq -- known variously in Scripture as Babel, Bablyon, Babylonia, Mesopotamia and Shinar -- will emerge as the global center of wealth, power and terrible evil. Eventually Iraq will pose a direct and existential threat to the State of Israel, particularly during the Tribulation. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime in 2003, Iraq has not been a regional threat, much less a danger to Israel. Some have assumed, therefore, that Iraq would no longer play a major role in Middle Eastern or global affairs in the future.

But such a conclusion would be a mistake. As I wrote about in my first non-fiction book, Epicenter, those who read, understand and believe Bible prophecy have been watching for Iraq to:

1) begin rebuilding its offensive military capability;

2) begin rebuilding its economy;

3) continue rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon into a major center of commerce and tourism.

Interestingly, all three developments are currently underway.

A few details (much more on the blog):

* The Iraqis are buying 140 state-of-the-art American M1A1 combat tanks.

* The Iraqis are buying 36 advanced American F-16 fighter jets.

* In 2010, the Iraqis embarked on a $13 billion weapons spending spree.

* Iraq's GDP is set to grow by more than 10% for the next few years.

* Iraq's Planning Ministry says Iraq's economy will grow by upwards of 47% by 2017 when the oil starts flowing fast and furious.

* In 2011, ExxonMobil -- the world's largest oil company -- signed a major deal to help develop the oil industry in Iraq's northern region of Kurdistan.

* The U.S. government is helping finance the rebuilding of the city of Babylon.

VIDEO CLIP OF COLIN LE NOURY SPEAKING AT THE PWMI EVENT AT WIGGINTON BAPTIST CHURCH IN JULY 2011.

SHORT DVD CLIP OF PWMI'S WELSH REP BYRON JONES SPEAKING AT CHESTERFIELD LAST YEAR, WHEN HE SPOKE ON "THINGS THAT MUST COME TO PASS".

DR SAM GORDON FROM THE MESSIANIC TESTIMONY, AND HIS VISIT TO OUR AREA.

We were very pleased to welcome to our area last week, the excellent Dr Sam Gordon (formerly of Trans World Radio), and now Director of the renown Messianic Testimony, whose main aim is to evangelise and educate the Jewish people that Jesus (Yeshua) is indeed their Messiah, and Saviour.

He commenced his long weekend tour with a visit to the Bristol branch of the PWMI on Friday, 22nd March when over forty people attended to hear this fine man of God expound the exciting theme of the Rapture of the Church to Heaven, before Jesus later returns to earth for his covenant people of Israel.

The following evening, Sam crossed the Severn Bridge to start the Welsh leg of his tour, and his first stop was our Caldicot branch of the PWMI. This lovely, warm, enthusiastic man with a cheeky Irish sense of humour, gave another splendid address from the book of Revelation on "Worthy Is The Lamb". This was based on his best selling book of the same name, and Sam has now become something of a prolific author with many books and booklets to his name, and his expanding repertoire. Needless to say, he sold many of his products over the weekend, with all proceeds going to the worthwhile Messianic Testimony.

On the Saturday Sam moved a little further into South Wales, with a double presentation at the Newport branch of the PWMI, at the impressive seminar facilities available at the new YMCA conference centre.

His first message was titled "Will Israel Survive", particularly relevant in view of what is happening in the Middle East at present. He opened by declaring that the Jewish state is in a very precarious position with Hezbollah and Syria to the North, Hamas in Gaza in the South West, the Islamic Brotherhood in Egypt in the South, with Fatah (formerly the PLO) to the east, and the even greater threat of Iran to the North East, all declaring their hatred of Israel, and demanding the annihilation of this tiny little nation, about the same size of our beloved Wales!

Going through the prophetic passages of Zechariah chapters 12 to 14, Sam showed quite comprehensively that not only will Israel survive, but that after some suffering during the time of Jacob's Tribulation, they will emerge as a victorious state, and then become the principal nation in the Millennial Kingdom, a position they were always meant to have had, if they had recognised Yeshua as their Messiah at His First Coming nearly 2000 years ago.

The second session took us to the heights of Heavenly Glory, and the home of the Church, the Body and Bride of Christ, whose home is the heavenly places far above all, with Sam's title being "An Insider's View Of Heaven". Very exhilarating and uplifting stuff indeed! On the Sunday morning Sam left his prophetic theme on the shelf, when he spoke at the Apostolic Christian Centre in Ebbw Vale at their morning service, to complete a memorable four days in Wales and the West Country.

All of the meetings were well attended, excellent Biblical ministry and Prophecy was proclaimed, lots of good Biblical merchandise was sold, good offerings were made, and the very worthwhile Messianic Testimony profited handsomely, which will assist them with their fantastic mission to bring Yeshua to the Jewish people. We thank Sam for his splendid ministry, and we give praise and thanks to the Lord who makes memorable weekend tours like these possible.

Maranatha Blessings,
Neville.

REVIEW OF JON IKIN AT EBBW VALE PLUS "THE GOG" OF RUSSIA FROM EZEKIEL 38 AND 39.

At the Ebbw Vale branch of the PWMI on Friday 9th March, Pastor Jon Ikin from Dorset gave a very enlightening powerpoint presentation of what he described as the "Three Wars That Must Take Place Before The Tribulation". 

He described the scenarios involving the three famous prophesies from Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, and Exeziel 38/39, all of which are yet future, and yet to be fulfilled. The last one in particular involves the Russian led invasion from the north to attack God's chosen nation of Israel.

Bearing this in mind, I reproduce here a recent article by the American Bible Prophecy Expert Joel. E. Rosenberg, who describes Russia's President Putin as being a real contender to be the end times "Gog" who comes strongly against the Jewish nation.
                            *************************

Is Vladimir Putin the Biblical figure known as "Gog"? Make no mistake: the Russian-Iranian strategic alliance that I’ve been writing about for the last several years has deepened to the point where Moscow is now unequivocally and quite openly backing the mullahs in Iran.

“Russia warned Israel on Wednesday that attacking Iran would be  disastrous and played down the failure of a U.N. nuclear agency mission to Tehran, saying there is still a chance for new talks over the Iranian atomic programme,” reports Reuters. 

‘Of course any possible military scenario against Iran will be catastrophic for the region and for the whole system of international relations,’ Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told a news conference. It was one of Russia’s starkest warnings against resorting to force, an option Israel and the United States have not ruled out if they conclude that diplomacy and increasing sanctions will not stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.’I hope Israel understands all these consequences … and they should also consider the consequences of such action for themselves,’ Gatilov said. ‘I hope a realistic approach will prevail, along with a sensible assessment.’”

The big question now is this: Now that Vladimir Putin has won his bid to become Russia’s President again during the March 4 elections,  would Putin then directly threaten Israel with retaliation for an attack on Iran? So far, Russia hasn’t gone so far as to threaten a military response, but it’s not out of the question. 

Putin won the Presidency with a commanding majority in excess of 60% (although hotly disputed by rival Gennady Zyuganov, the head of the Communist Party, who had approx 15% support). And Putin in recent years seems itching to rebuild the Russian military (something he promised again just this week – he’s called for a $770 billion upgrade of Russia’s military), strengthen his alliances throughout the Islamic world, and give the West a black eye. He explicitly ran his campaign on anti-Americanism, for example. He’s close to the Iranians. He’s defending the Bashar al-Assad, the butcher in Damascus. He’s growing closer to the Turks, as they become hostile to Israel. Putin hasn’t directly threatened Israel, but he’s backing all of Israel’s worst enemies and could find himself drawn into a war to prove his alpha-dog machismo.

Another question I’m getting asked these days: Is Putin “Gog,” the evil leader described in the prophecies of Ezekiel 38-39? It came up during my recent speaking tour in Florida, and in a talk I gave to a group on Capitol Hill last week? 

Thus far, my answer remains the same — Putin is certainly “Gog-esque,” but it is too early to speculate on whether he is actually the biblical figure that will rise to power in Russia (known in Ezekiel’s prophecy as “Magog”) in the last days and build an alliance with Iran (“Persia”), Sudan (“Cush”), Turkey (“Gomer”), Libya and Algeria (“Put”), the countries of Central Asia (“Beth Togarmah”) to attack the State of Israel from “the north” (probably via Lebanon and Syria). That said, it is fair to say that geopolitical events over the past decade — and certainly over the past year or so — have been moving on a trajectory consistent with the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39. That doesn’t necessarily mean we will see the prophecies come to complete fulfillment in our lifetime or soon, but we cannot rule out the possibility.

For the moment, the major need is to keep mobilizing people to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and to keep asking the Lord to help us get ready for the next war that comes, be that a really bad geopolitical war (ie, an Israeli first strike on Iran, or vice versa), or a prophetic war (ie, the War of Gog and Magog). One way or the other, it would seem that war is coming. The handwriting seems to be on the wall. Dare we allow ourselves to be unprepared?

VIDEO TESTIMONY OF BIBLE PROPHECY EXPERT BRIAN GEMMELL FROM YORK.

NEW SWINDON PWMI BRANCH OPENS IN SPLENDID FASHION.

We are very pleased to announce that our new PWMI branch in Swindon opened in fine fashion on Saturday, the 25th February. Supporters travelled from Wales, Bristol, Cheltenham and other surrounding areas to help Tony and Diane McLellan open their new venture in style.

After initial welcome and introductory comments from Tony, the meeting opened in prayer and was led by the PWMI Chairman, the Rev Glyn Taylor from Cheltenham. Despite the pianist crying off at the last moment, the singing was loud and uplifting, despite it not being accompanied by music.

The excellent address was given by the PWMI's General Director, the Rev Colin Le Noury, who travelled all the way down from Preston in Lancashire, to help celebrate the new branch opening. His splendid message was titled "A NEGLECTED TRUTH", and he proceeded to offer us six very good reasons why we should take Bible Prophecy seriously, especially the Second Coming Of Jesus, and especially in this ever-declining world of failing Christian and moral values.

His six main reasons for believing in the soon return of Christ back to earth were: "It Is Biblical"; "Jesus Himself Said He Will Come Again"; "The Evidence Around Us Shows That His Second Coming Is Near"; "It Is The Hope And Certainty Of Every True Christian Believer"; "The Second Coming Will Change The Course Of History, Just Like His First Coming Did"; and finally "It Stimulates Us To Seek The Lord".

Everyone stayed on to enjoy some more fellowship over an excellent spread of "goodies" prepared by Diane and Tony, to conclude a lovely evening. With the new Pontypool branch opening successfully last week, we give praise and thanks to the Lord for ever more PWMI branches opening up across the UK, as people are asking more and more, what on earth is happening in the world today? The answer is that Jesus is coming back soon, and a lot of Bible prophesies of events preceding His Return are coming true before our very eyes today.

Maranatha,

JUDE, ENOCH, AND THE HYBRIDS BY RON GRAHAM.

Jude, Enoch, and the Hybrids, by Ron Graham from Rapture Ready. 

---

The response to my commentary “Hybrids” was phenomenal. There were many questions, but the main question was whether or not I believe hybrids are living among us today. I will attempt to answer that question and many more throughout this commentary.

“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Genesis 6:12. The worst case scenario was coming to fruition. God was about to destroy the population of planet earth including every beast with more water than they could have ever imagined possible. Were they clueless as to what was coming? “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;” 2 Peter 2:5. It’s interesting that the Apostle Peter points out that Noah was a preacher, yet Noah’s preaching obviously had no effect on the rest of the antediluvian world.

There seems to be little difference in the mindset of today’s populous as we review and compare the events of that antediluvian world. There’s little notice by today’s societies of the events that parallel the ancient past. Most don’t even believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob let alone a flood that wiped out billions. Students of prophecy are increasingly warning the world that now is the time to prepare for their eternal destination as humanity is currently living in these very precarious end times, but are they listening?

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12. Here we’re confronted with the sad but quite serious reminder that in the last days because of thriving wickedness the love of many will grow cold. The phrase “wax cold” comes from the Greek word “psychō”, which means to blow cold. Metaphorically the phrase “wax cold” is used in the sense of waning zeal or love. Jesus warns us that the love of many will vanish in the final days of planet earth. The tragic results of humanistic, atheistic “we evolved from pond scum” teachings that have permeated societies for decades have certainly taken their toll. What we are witnessing in our society today has been encroaching on us for many years. Is the waxing cold of the human heart finally coming to a crescendo? Or is this the onslaught of a soulless generation of hybrids being unveiled? A little food for thought.

“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.” Daniel 12:4. The seal has been removed from Daniels book and knowledge is increasing. I believe that some of that knowledge is buried in Jude’s epistle – a little one chapter book that really packs a wallop.

Before you read any further, I must interject that if you have aligned yourself with the wrong interpretation of the book of Genesis chapter 6 you will misinterpret the book of Jude. When we understand the truth that a corrupting influence invaded humanity at that particular point in the time/space continuum (the antediluvian world), we can then anticipate and prepare ourselves for what’s coming. The similarities of that ancient world and ours today are striking.

I will summarize Jude’s little epistle. Occasionally I’ll insert the Greek word and the deeper meaning behind that word for emphasis as we seek the revealing of God’s truth.Jude begins his epistle with an admonishment. We are to earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints. There’s a good reason for this as Jude is going to take us on a journey into a very evil world – a world of the malevolent supernatural. He’s going to be referring to the last days just prior to the return of Jesus Christ, but he will also take us back in time.

Concerning those last days something very wicked is going to raise its ugly head and our faith will be attacked – aggressively. To Jude it’s a future event; but to us today the event is here. Jude is adamant that wickedness will be so invasive that we, the saints of God, will find it difficult but necessary to earnestly contend for our faith. The original Greek word used by Jude for the phrase “earnestly contend” is “epagōnizomai” which means “to contend about a thing, as that of a combatant”. Jude suggests that we move into this combatant mode with renewed zeal. How do we do that? Guns and knives will not suffice against the supernatural, nor will they do much good against a generation of enhanced Hybrids. You might want to take a moment here and study Ephesians chapter 6.

Jude points to a certain something coming upon the scene in the last days. In the King James Version of our English Bible we read “certain men” crept in “of old”, “ungodly men”. According to the Greek word “tis”, which is rendered in English as “certain”, these were not necessarily men. As you will see throughout the entirety of Jude’s epistle he’s speaking of something quite different than mere men. They were “of old” which points to another era of humanity’s past. They were ungodly, which when we look at the original Greek word we find it means they held no reverence for God. If they weren’t men what were they?

They crept in stealthily and craftily. When we read that word craftily it should remind us of Genesis chapter 3 “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made” Genesis 3:1. The Hebrew word for “subtil” means “subtle, shrewd, crafty, sly”. Sound familiar? It should, Jude is referring to the same type of “being”. You might be asking yourself why is Jude referring to “beings” of the past. He’ll get to that directly.

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:4. Jude is not referring to false teachers as many Bible teachers promote, but to “beings” of old who rejected the grace of God and turned that grace into unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence, which is their nature.

“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 1:6-7. Jude references the antediluvian period by explaining what happened to the angels who were involved in that first incursion into our world. They were punished for their wickedness by God and are currently held in chains until the judgment. It’s interesting that Jude lumps Sodom and Gomorrha in with those fallen angels of Noah’s day.

When we realize that Satan cannot be working alone in this world as he is not God, we can then come to grips with the fact that he still has an innumerable army of fallen angles ready to do his bidding. It’s not hard to then come to the conclusion to which Jude is guiding us; fallen angels will again participate in the same kind of corruption the others were involved with before the flood.

Genesis chapter 6 tells us that “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4. The words “and also after that” remind us that the evil of that era would continue. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrha had become extremely wicked because the same kind of supernatural malevolent incursion occurred then as in the pre-flood world.

The mention of going after strange flesh is another obvious allusion to the antediluvian world. Jude is speaking of the lust-filled attitude of fallen angels. Men, too, had given themselves over to fornication and went after strange flesh. The Greek words “heteros sarx” (strange flesh) speak of various types of flesh, not all human, and following the context of his epistle Jude is reintroducing us to a “being” that is not human. With the Greek word “sarx” we see Jude referring to the animal nature, animalistic cravings. Jude speaks of the complete corruption of the body, while participating in extremely egregious sexual activity. The men and women of Sodom and Gomorrha, as well as the surrounding cities, had completely corrupted themselves through the wicked influence of fallen angels..

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha was sudden and final, their fall didn’t just occur overnight. The wickedness that brought down all those cities took generations of corruption. There must be no misunderstanding here; Jude is not speaking of false teachers leading their congregations astray. Just so there is no confusion, Jude continually reminds us to whom he is referring.

They are brute beasts, living creatures whose vocabulary is nothing but blasphemies uttered continually, and yet they have no intimate knowledge of who or what they are blaspheming. They are senseless as they continually corrupt themselves in all their ways like animals who know not sin. They are prideful, soulless beasts. The corruption of the human race is their agenda. They are like a spot that spoils everything, like leaven it permeates the whole of whatever it is put into. This spoiling leaven destroys lives by diminishing then eliminating the love people have for one another. Jude explains that these “beings” are void of feelings, void of any good intentions; they are without natural love and affection. They are essentially the walking dead.

Jude is warning the last days Church of evil so reprehensible they must be prepared for combat. He explains that these beings are living and growing wild and savage in the fields or woods; some will resemble men but they are animals, fierce and boorish, rude, full of violent passion, vehement, furious, and uncontrollable. They are tossed to and fro by their raging restless passions, foaming out like refuse worthy of the fire and nothing else. Their actions are shameful, yet they have no shame. They are disgraceful and have no honour. Who are they? They are the progeny of fallen angels roaming the land without fear of where they are heading.

Jude’s quote from the book of Enoch is very telling. The evil that had spread throughout the antediluvian world in Enoch’s day was cause for him to be given insight into the future last day’s events prior to the judgment. He saw the Lord Jesus coming with an innumerable number of His saints to execute His judgment on all the ungodly fallen angels and their ungodly progeny – along with all humankind who’ve rejected the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Then Jude reminds the Church of the words of the Apostles that these things would occur in the last days; that these animalistic brutes would once again invade humanity and corrupt the populous of earth through their sexual escapades. These beings, being void of spirit, would inhabit the earth for a season but would ultimately perish forever in the fires of Hell.

I believe the hybridization of the human genome is the key to the ever increasing wickedness that has been with humankind for thousands of years, and it continues unabated today. Without a doubt we can trace this phenomenon back to the antediluvian world. There is no indication that humanity today has even the slightest concept that this progressive and very aggressive co-mingling of beings of two distinct dimensions is occurring – other than the constant talk of transhumanism, which by the way seems to be a road many are willing to take. In the antediluvian world this corruption didn’t just happen over a period of a few decades but was actually initiated during Adam’s day, at least a thousand years prior to the flood. The last days began in the time of the Apostles; this wickedness that we see escalating today has been stealthily (craftily) increasing for thousands of years.

What we think we know from mankind’s past has deceived many into rejecting the truth of scriptures. It’s time to embrace God’s truth and re-evaluate our own understanding of the events of the antediluvian world. Never mind how it makes you feel, feelings can be deceiving. The truth is, what happened during the pre-flood era has returned in our day and is burgeoning.

What these supernatural beings began in humanity’s past is simply a continuation of the contamination of that pre-deluge world – what they’ve been planning since the serpent deceived Eve. These “malevolent beings” are bent on fulfilling their leader’s ultimate goal, the conclusion to human existence. Their modus operandi is to steal, kill, and destroy. They are the fallen angels, they are here, and they are intertwined with humanity for a reason, to beget an ungodly progeny of hybrid (Nephilim), fully demonic, soulless beings. They aren’t necessarily appearing as giants these days but are actually being developed to look like humans, so much so that we can’t easily tell them apart from the rest of humanity. At least not until they begin to demonstrate superhuman traits.

These beings are beginning to expose themselves to the scrutiny of the public’s eye in ways we would never have imagined. I was reading a book, “The Cosmic Chess Match” by L.A. Marzulli, in which he includes a very interesting video link http://documentaryheaven.com/madness-in-the-fast-lane/. Take the time to watch it as it is both frightening and enlightening. Is this event an isolated occurrence? Probably not.

We are witnessing the unfolding of prophecy. For the saints, it won’t be much longer. The clouds of war are amassing, the armies of the prince of the power of the air are at the door, all the players are set, and the end is in sight. “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:” 2 Peter 2:9.

God bless you all,

OUR NEW PONTYPOOL PWMI BRANCH OPENS WITH FINE FELLOWSHIP, FOOD, FUN, AND SOME EXCELLENT BIBLICAL MINISTRY.

It seemed a long time coming with all of the planning and church improvements required, but the new Pontypool branch of the PWMI finally opened with a celebratory service and meeting on Friday the 17th February at the Zion Christian Fellowship in Pisgah Road, Talywain, just north of Pontypool.

Introductory welcome remarks from Chairman Neville Stephens included how the church was purchased at auction beating off bids from building property speculators who wanted to convert the former church into two houses, now that planning permission had been granted for this purpose. The Lord obviously had other ideas, and both the South Wales Argus and the Pontypool Free Press gave splendid coverage of this with a lovely article and photo.

The praise and worship was led by the admirable Jane Woodford from Newport, who climbed out of her sick bed to be present, and the Lord strengthened her to sing and play very well in difficult circumstances. She was ably assisted by Brenda, a late volunteer from the congregation.

The main prayer of dedication of the church to the Lord for His purposes was led by Pastor Arthur Wicks from Beddau, near Pontypridd, who also reminded us that the building was "the Lord's house" and was to be used for His glory.

There was also another prayer from the Rev Byron Jones from Herefordshire, the Welsh Representative on the National Council, and also the Vice-Chairman of the PWMI, who prayed for God's blessing on all of the PWMI meetings in South Wales, namely Newport, Swansea, Caldicot, Ebbw Vale, and now Pontypool.

He also advertised the large rally the PWMI will be putting on in Cardiff in April. The year of 2012 is the PWMI year of evangelism, and the council have agreed to hold four special meetings in the four regional capitals of the UK, ie London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Belfast. Our Welsh event is to be held on April 27th at the Calvary Baptist Church, Cowbridge Road East, Canton, Cardiff  from 7pm to 9pm, with guest speakers Rev Glyn Taylor, the PWMI Chairman, and Tony Pearce a PWMI council member. More information will be distributed about this gathering nearer the time, but please make a note of the date in your diaries to support this event if at all possible.

After the notices, prayers and praise, we were then treated to an excellent message from Bible Prophecy expert Brian Gemmell, who travelled down from York with his wife Gilly and mother Kathleen. He gave a splendid introductory address on prophecy titled "From The Cornerstone To The Capstone", teaching how important prophecy is in the Bible, how accurate all of the predictions have been in the past, and how future prophesies will all be fulfilled to the exact minute detail, as were all of the proclamations of the first coming to earth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bearing this in mind he warned, how vital it is for us to know Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, and to live our lives by His principles laid down in the Scriptures, for the Rapture and Second Coming Of Christ are rapidly approaching events on the world calendar.

After the service most people stayed on for more fine fellowship, food, and fun to round off an excellent first service for the re-opening of the Zion Christian Fellowship and the first meeting of the Pontypool branch of the PWMI. We give all of our praise and thanks to the Lord, Who made all of this possible.

The meeting was recorded by our good friend Keith Cline from Bristol, and will be available to purchase on DVD soon, for a very reasonable price. Please let me know if you would like a copy.

Maranatha,

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SET TO TAKE OVER MORE MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES.

The Year We Lost Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia and Most of the Middle East

Daniel Greenfield- Sultan Knish, 31st December 2011. 

About the only people having a Happy New Year in the Muslim world aren't the Christians who are huddling and waiting out the storm, but the Islamists who use a different calendar but are having the best time of their lives since the last Caliphate.

The news that the Obama Administration has brought in genocidal Muslim Brotherhood honcho Yusuf Al-Qaradawi to discuss terms of surrender for the transfer of Afghanistan to the Taliban caps a year in which the Brotherhood and the Salafists are looking to carve up Egypt, the Islamists won Tunisia's elections, Turkey's Islamist AKP Party purged the last bastions of the secular opposition and Libya's future as an Islamist state was secured by American, British and French jets and special forces.

Time Magazine declared that 2011 was the Year of the Protester, they might have more honestly called it the Year of the Islamist. In 2010 the Taliban were still hiding in caves. In 2012 they are set to be in power from Tunisia to Afghanistan and from Egypt to Yemen. They won't go by that name of course. Most of them will have elaborate names with the words “Justice” or “Community” in them, but they will for the most part be minor variations on the Muslim Brotherhood theme.

2011 will indeed be remembered, but not because of any Arab Spring or OWS nonsense. It will be a pivotal year in the rise of the next Caliphate. A rise disguised by angry protesters waving cell phones and flags. And clueless media coverage that treated Tahrir Square as the new fall of the Berlin Wall.

This was the year that Obama helped topple several regimes that served as the obstacles to Islamist takeovers. The biggest fish that Ibn Hussein speared out of the sea for Al-Qaradawi was Egypt, a prize that the Islamists had wanted for the longest time, but had never managed to catch. That is until the Caliph-in-Chief got it for them. Egyptian Democracy splits the take between the Brotherhood and the Salafists, whom the media is already quick to describe as moderates. First up against the wall are the Christians. Second up against the wall are the Jews. Third up is all that military equipment we provided to the Egyptian military which will shortly be finding its way to various “moderate militants” who want to discuss our foreign policy with us.

But there's no reason to sell the fall of Tunisia short or the transition in Yemen. And when mob protests didn't work, NATO sent in the jets to pound Libya until Al-Qaeda got its way there. Turkey's fate had been written some time ago, but 2011 was the year that the AKP completed its death grip on the country with a final crackdown on the military, which has now ceased to be a force for stability.

Left out of the picture is Somalia. Liberals fulminated when Bush helped drive out Al-Shaab and its jolly Muslim lads with a habit of beheading people who didn't grow beards or watched too much soccer. Any number of editorials complained that we had destabilized the country and that the Islamic Courts Union were really a bunch of moderates in disguise.

Sadly Obama has not been able to salvage the position of Al-Shabab which is low on money and has turned to forcing 12 year old girls into prostitution and torturing and murdering those who refuse. They're also forcing the elderly to join its militias. But there is good news. Like every terrorist group, Al-Shabab has gotten itself a Twitter account and when O finds 5 minutes in between vacations and golf tournaments, the White House will order neighboring African countries to withdraw their armies and send in Al-Qaradawi to negotiate.

But even if the Islamists don't get Somalia, they've got a nice chunk of North Africa to chew over, not to mention a few more slices of the Middle-Eastern pie, and Afghanistan will be back in their hands as soon as they manage to outmaneuver Karzai, which given his paranoia and cunning may admittedly take a while. But the Taliban are not big on maneuvers, they have the manpower, which means it's only a matter of time until they do what the Mujaheddin did to the puppet Soviet regime. A history that everyone in the region is quite familiar with.

The ugliest part of this story isn't what Obama did. It's when he did it. If he really had no interest in winning Afghanistan, and if as he had said, the Taliban are not our enemy, then why did we stay for so long and lose so many lives fighting a war that the White House had no intention of winning? The ugly conclusion that must be drawn from the timing of the Iraq and Afghanistan withdrawals is that the wars were being played out to draw down around the time of the next election.

What that means is Obama sacrificed the thousands of Americans killed and wounded in the conflict as an election strategy. The idea that American soldiers were fighting and dying for no reason until the time when maximum political advantage could be gained from pulling them out is horrifying, it's a crime beyond redemption, an act worse than treason– and yet there is no other rational conclusion to be drawn from the timetable.

If the Taliban were not our enemy, then the war should have ended shortly after the election. Instead Obama threw more soldiers into the mix while tying their hands with Rules of Engagement that prevented them from defending themselves or aggressively going after the Taliban. Casualties among US soldiers and Afghan civilians increased. Now the Taliban are no longer our enemy and we are negotiating a withdrawal.

There are only two possible explanations. Either we lost the war or Obama never intended to win it and was allowing the Taliban to murder American soldiers until the next election. If so we're not just looking at a bad man at the teleprompter, we are looking into the face of an evil so amoral that it defies description.
But whatever motives we may attribute to the Obama Administration the outcome of its policies in backing the Arab Spring with influence, training and even weapons is indisputable. What Carter did to Persia, Obama has done to Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan and that's not the whole of the list.
Iraq will likely fall to Iran in a bloody civil war, whether it will be parts of the country or the whole country depend on how much support we provide to the Kurds. Under the Obama Administration the level of support is likely to be none.

Once the Islamists firmly take power across North Africa they will begin squeezing the last states that have still not fallen. Last month the leader of the murderous Enhada Islamists who have taken power in Tunisia stopped by Algeria. Morocco has not yet come down, but at this rate it's only a matter of time.
Syria remains an open question. The Muslim Brotherhood is in a successor position there and would welcome our intervention against the Assad regime. The Assads are no prize and they're Iranian puppets, but shoving them out would give the Brotherhood yet another country and its sizable collection of weaponry.

All that is bound to make 2012 an ugly year in its own right, especially if the Obama Administration continues allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to control its foreign policy. For all that Time and other mainstream media outlets continue splashing the same protest pornography photos on every page, the region has become an indisputably worse place this year with the majority of moderate governments overthrown and replaced, or in the process of being replaced by Islamist thugs.

Carter can breathe a sigh of relief. In one year the Obama Administration has done far more damage than the bucktoothed buffoon did in his entire term. After 2011 we can look back with nostalgia on the days when all that an incompetent leftist in the White House did was lose one country, one canal and a bunch of hostages. Things have gotten so bad that we can safely say that Obama on a good day is worse than Jimmy Carter on a bad day.

Forget the usual end of the year roundups which focus on pop stars, dead celebrities and who wore what and when. None of that really matters. It didn't matter four years ago. It certainly doesn't matter now.
2011 was not the year that Steve Jobs died, it was the year that any hope that we were not headed for a violent collision of civilizations died as Western governments helped topple the few moderates and let the worst have their harvest of power.

Will that be considered a bad thing in the long run? It's hard to say. What Obama did was speed up the date of an inescapable conflict. A day when it will no longer be state-supported terrorists setting off bombs, but when much of the Muslim world will look like Iran and will openly declare that they are at war with us. That was almost certainly bound to happen anyway, but bringing the day forward by ten or twenty years means that we will be less weaker than we might have been when it happens.

Evil has a way of destroying itself, and in his own backward way, Barry Hussein may have helped save civilization. It will be a long time before we know for sure, but giving the Brotherhood what it wanted before they were ready for it, and before we are so completely crippled by the left's political correctness that we are left helpless, may be our best hope.

2011 was the year we lost Afghanistan, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia and many others, but it should not be the year that we lose hope. For all that the bad guys have been gaining and domestic prospects don't look good, the bad guys have a way of destroying themselves. Give evil its head and it will kill millions, but it will also self-destruct in a spectacular way. Even when it seems as if we have run out of productive things to do, it is instructive to remember that there is a Higher Power in the destinies of men and that the aspirations of evil men to play at being gods eventually leads them to complete and utter ruin through their own arrogance.

But 2011 is also a reminder that the world cannot afford another year of Obama. That it cannot afford the appeasement, the destructive policies or the post-American politics that have made his regime the worst administration in this country's history. 2011 may be the year that we lost the Middle East, but let's work to make 2012 the year that this country loses one Barack Hussein Obama.

THE RETURN OF THE NEPHILIM by RON GRAHAM from Rapture Ready.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood. but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high (heavenly) places" (Ephesians 6:12). 

Whether or not we want to admit it, earth’s been invaded by an element of malevolent, supernatural, other dimensional beings. The paranormal is in full swing. The fight is raging and humanity is the prize. The battle has now moved into our four dimensional space/time continuum and still people ignore it or write it off as silly science fiction nonsense. 

Yet science fiction often has a foundation based on fact. Earth's inhabitants are in for a measure of the paranormal unparalleled in the last 4000 years (2 Thess 2:3b-4a), This son of perdition is ready to be revealed, his only hindrance is the Holy Spirit indwelt Church (2 Thess 2:11b). Why would God send this strong delusion? The very next verse tells us why, "that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thess 2:12).

In other words, those who had been presented with the truth of the Gospel of Christ, and rejected the truth, have nothing to look forward to but condemnation as God's strong delusion is implemented. When we take that last verse to fruition, many of us will come to a most horrible conclusion. Many of the people we have witnessed to over the years, who have remained steadfast in their rejection of the truth, will end up swallowing the strong delusion, hook, line, and sinker (Matthew 22:30).

Notice Jesus is here speaking of the resurrection and the angels of God in Heaven. Angels appear to men on numerous occasions in the Bible, and in male form. They are seen eating and drinking, therefore they undoubtedly have access to all human bodily functions (as in Gen chap 6 verses 2,4,5,7).

Scientists have extrapolated that there were as many people on the earth prior to the flood of Noah, as there are alive today. If that is the case, and since only eight people were saved from God's decree to destroy the human race from the face of the earth, something much more evil had to have taken place besides just inter-breeding of various human lineages. What occurred in the antediluvian world is to re-emerge in the last days, that is, The Return Of The Nephilim. Satan is the "god of this world", and most men and women in leadership roles over nations bow to his every whim (Matthew 24:37).

Currently Satan, his horde of fallen angels, and the demons of old are poised on the brink of facilitating the most startling phenomenon the world will ever witness; the Bible calls it a “strong delusion”. The race is on; it’s a race against time itself. Not one of the multitudes of malevolent supernatural beings, or any human for that matter, has a clue as to when Satan’s time will run out. But there are certainly indications that humanity has entered its final phase, which portends that Satan’s last days are here. Satan can see the same things we see, except he sees them with an urgency the rest of us can’t even comprehend. Satan is responsible for the evil which will bring about much of the catastrophic occurrences on planet earth in the last days.

Satan has an agenda which includes a massive amount of deception and a bit of public exposure to pique the interest of a few, yet maintaining his agenda in the realm of science fiction for the moment. In the meantime scary things are happening – the appearance of ghosts/demons, “space” aliens, unexplained animal mutilations, etc. All of these weird occurrences are burgeoning. The world is moving into chilling, unexplored territory. Yet people seem to have no fear of the aforementioned occurrences. Why is that? Because we’ve been desensitized through some entertaining Hollywood movies, and the exploitation of the paranormal. We’ve got ghost hunters enjoying a field day while exploring all the claims of paranormal occurrences, vampires becoming so acceptable in our society that many want to become vampires themselves. When I was a young boy all my friends and I wanted to be like Superman who represented everything good – today kids and adults want to be vampires which represent everything evil. What an about face society has made.

Nothing seems to be lacking as Satan slowly and meticulously unveils his deception. The mainstream media has even gotten into the fray. They see the appearances of ghosts, goblins, ghouls, spirits, and anything that goes bump in the night as newsworthy entertainment. Imagine if by chance, someone actually runs into a few of these very real specters? Would people associate any evil with such a phenomenon? There’s more than just a chance man will see these spirits as benevolent. It is Satan’s goal that mankind embrace the whole idea of the paranormal as benevolent extraterrestrials meaning no harm but only good for earth’s populous.

Here’s the rub, the human race is being setup for the last day’s delusion. Everything is falling perfectly into place. The brunt of the delusion won’t be fully in place until the “Church” is in Heaven. There’s no doubt that what’s currently occurring all over the world points to a worldwide deception. To some of us who have been given discernment, Satan’s attempt at deluding the public is obvious. “…the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God...”

Please try and understand that once the Church is gone and the deception is unleashed, believing anything but the lie of the enemy will be incredibly difficult – impossible for many. “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”

I broached the subject of supernatural evil in a commentary a few weeks ago and with the tremendous response from my readership I decided to delve a little deeper into this incredibly important subject matter of the book of Genesis chapter 6.

We’re told in chapter 6 of Genesis that a supernatural evil brought on the destruction of the antediluvian world. This subject matter deserves much more attention and explanation than I can place into one commentary, especially when one considers all the foolish and misleading interpretations of these few verses. Fallen angels, human women, and their offspring – the Nephilim is the focus in this commentary, but the paranormal stems from the demonic horde who, after the flood of Noah, found themselves without bodies. These were the Nephilim hybrids of that era. The last days before the return of our Lord Jesus will experience a resurgence of the Nephilim, hence all the activity surrounding the paranormal. Satan is readying the inhabitants of this planet to accept another invasion by the fallen angels and the return of the Nephilim.

Many folks today try to dismiss the Nephilim completely by attributing this assault on humanity as the result of the co-mingling of the sons of Seth with the daughters of Cain. Try and support that idea using Scripture. An acrobat would be hard pressed to perform such a stretch.

There were Nephilim (giants) in the land in those days and also after that. The procreation of human beings can create little monsters, but they aren’t monstrous. The Nephilim hybrid – the offspring created from the union of fallen angels and human women – brought about the most evil the world had ever experienced. To this very day we’ve not been subjected to such evil – but it is coming.

Let me get one thing straight. This commentary is not being written as an attempt to persuade those who hold opposing interpretations of Genesis 6 to change views. What I’m espousing here has come about through years of diligent study. I would propose that each “in Christ believer” do their own study of these critically important scriptures. Please don’t send me someone else’s contradicting study; believe me I’ve seen and read them all.

The verses in Genesis chapter 6 are perfectly clear and do not contradict Jesus’ words in Matthew chapter 22. “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”

God says what He means and means what He says. I decided a long time ago to challenge myself to learn what these verses meant instead of listening to others concerning these passages. If we adhere to what the Bible is actually telling us, the truth is not difficult to discern “That the sons of God (The Hebrew bene ha Elohiym – always refers to angels) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose…There were giants (nĕphiyl in the Hebrew or Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

In the verses above the “sons of God” refers to fallen angels who came to earth, took wives of all they chose. Put in more simple terms, the fallen angel’s cohabitated with human women and their unions brought about these hybrids referred to as Nephilim, and they were giants. What we are told occurred during that stage of human history is an evil that quite frankly seems almost impossible to even consider let alone believe, yet it is factual. To the human mind the concept of angels and human women procreating is so repugnant – so beyond fantasy – that most simply dismiss it as impossible. The problem with dismissing this evil as fantasy, especially at this point in time, is akin to burying our heads in the sand. We, the Church, need to be keenly aware of and kept abreast of this strange evil coming about again. Make no mistake these fallen angels are currently continuing their shenanigans as they corrupt the last day’s human race. The bringing forth of the hybrids (Nephilim) into our midst has begun.

These fallen angels, through whatever means at their disposal, brought a mass of hybrid beings onto this planet with one goal in mind: to create a soulless and pure evil human hybrid – to replace all who are made in God’s image. Their success would have eliminated any chance of a forthcoming Messiah. Our Messiah arrived precisely when He was supposed to which tells us they were not successful. Satan has, once again, begun his dastardly deeds with another assault on mankind.

Non-human hybrids that had no souls were also void of any ability to love, therefore through the influence of the fallen angels their imaginations were pure evil continually. The evil was not merely focused on mankind but on the animal kingdom as well. With enough of this interbreeding, love could be bred out of man completely. This is exactly what occurred. All flesh became corrupted save Noah and his family. “And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”

Why would God destroy every created thing? Why destroy poor dumb animals, the birds of the air, and creeping things? “And the LORD said, I will destroy man…, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air.” (v7b) Yes, the animal kingdom was also corrupted, thus God destroyed them also. These malevolent supernatural beings interfered in the animal kingdom to create part animal, part human “hybrids”; an animal soul cannot exist in a human body, and vice versa. FYI - the United States Senate has just passed a bill that would clear the way for the acceptance of sodomy and bestiality in the military and it was passed by a margin of 93 to 7. Who’s pulling the strings of government? “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not…”

Unlike the giant Nephilim of the past the new hybrids are being created in labs around the world to resemble humans with human like traits. They will be just as soulless and loveless as those of the antediluvian corruption. They are probably already living among us. Everyone should become familiar with transhumanism. The secular scientists involved with this type of breeding animal/human hybrids are doing the devils bidding. I believe this is a major part of the strong delusion God will send to deceive the unbelieving world.

What I’ve explained in this commentary is completely verifiable through a diligent study of the scriptures. If you think I’m nuts, that a scenario such as I’ve espoused is impossible, then all I can say is wait and see. But while you wait you might heed Jesus’ words “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

God bless you all,
