Dec. 28, 2010 ~ Here we are folks, the end of 2010 ~ and though no one can guarantee it, our Blessed Hope, which would mean heaven in ’11 in looking to be a mighty good possibility, given all the signs that continue to blare in our faces, day in & day out!
So a “christian” friend mentioned about the music in the play, “Wicked” being REALLY WONDERFUL!! Ah man, what about the BLATANT lies in it – manifested, gratis of satan himself?! Pure evil, people! Goodnight, should we (really??) have to tell REAL Christians to not go see such a thing? When the Bible CLEARLY says to stay away from ALL APPEARANCE of evil ~ why do those who call themselves “Christian” still rush out, making a beeline to go do exactly what God says NOT to do??
Here’s a review: “This show does not teach any Christian values; just the opposite. Evil is portrayed as good. The wizard says there is no truth; truth is what the collective believe. When he says this, the whole crowd laughed because they actually believe that’s true. The theme is that it’s good to be wicked.
In one song Elphie sings that she won't do good anymore. Without God there is no reason to be good. It was a great performance but the theme and things they say are definitely against God's Truth. Romans 12:9 " Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” In the original movie the witch was definitely evil. Now evil isn't really evil just misunderstood. Be careful Christian if you are blindly letting these lies sink in. I enjoyed watching it and I laughed a lot. But I wouldn't recommend it for young minds unless you are going to address the lies it teaches with God's opposing Truth. There are many more reasons to have a guarded mind if you see it. If you go ask God first to protect your mind and reveal the enemies lies. Yes it's just a show but the enemy is sly and will use any means to teach you his lies while pulling you away from God's truth.”
On one hand, I just don’t get it ~ why would a REAL Christian want to even expose himself to something so contrary to what God’s Word says? Then, OTOH, I guess I totally do get it! For one, these may not be real Christians (?) or they may notbe far enough along in their walks and are doing it out of ignorance; I HOPE they are not doing it in deference to the Lord’s commands.
This is the generation that expects instant gratification & pleasures and entertainment {regardless of how spiritually damning it might be} and they are “far more important” than God ~ according to this present-day culture anyway. Saw my ex-pastor’s wife on the news; she was all excited about it as well & taking her class to see it. My word, how apostate this world is ~ how far it has sunk! Oh! But it’s all fun & games & you’re making waaaay too much of it! Guess this is the plum line, folks – where we draw the line on whose going to obey God’s Word & who’s not.
From http://www.jta.org/news/article/2010/12/14/2742163/barak-final-status-talks-within-months
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak predicted that comprehensive talks with the Palestinians on all final status issues would begin within months. "The mechanics will be resolved in the coming weeks," he said.

Mitchell: US determined to secure Palestinian state
Mitchell said the U.S. is determined to continue until it secures its objective of an independent Palestinian state peacefully coexisting alongside Israel. {“when they say peace & safety”!!!!!.....}
AND if you are truly keeping your eyes open in these last moments then you are also very aware that the WHOLE WORLD intends to “recognize Palestine” within a year!! This is the big thing in Bible prophecy news right now.
Lastly, one never really knows if this will happen (though I can see it EASILY happening by or at least during the Tribulation!!) http://www.newswithviews.com/Ryter/jon332.htm According to this guy’s article, this current U.S. president who figures he is above the law, plans to start censuring ~ yes, “taking over” the internet, and thus shutting down sites that are contrary to what HE wants out there. For real, I fully expect such tactics to take place once the tribulation is in place ~ and who knows, but it could well happen (or at least START happening) even before then. This pres has gotten away with far more than any other pres in history. {kind of reminds one of Dan. 11 ~ a king who does “according to his own will”!!}
I, for one, get very tired when well-meaning Christians & others say that…..”this & this & this is going to happen UNLESS WE rise up & DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT”….. well, just pray tell ~ WHAT EXACTLY are we supposed to DOOOO about it? Other than to PRAY that the Lord will purposely stop the flood of evil…(well, while on a downward slope and given the times in which we live, that is NOT going to happen) or better yet, that He will quickly rescue us off this slime-ball.
I’ve suggested before on this site that, because I am fully convinced that America is the Daughter of Babylon (again, not “Mystery Babylon” ~ 2 separate entities, which most people never even realize or take notice)…. But at any rate, b/c I’m so convinced of that, then it will be this country will be in a civil war during the time of the 7 years known as “Jacob’s trouble”. So guess you can say at that point, then yes, people WILL “rise up” and DO something about it! ~~ or at least TRY anyway.... Which may well be THE reason FOR the civil war.
And finally, because I DO BELIEVE that America is the “daughter of Babylon” ~ well,
let’s make another connection. Just days ago the U.S. Senate passed a bill to allow
open homosexuality in the U.S. military. Hmm ~ the Jeremiah 51:30 Scripture states
that: {and this is def. During the great tribulation:}
The mighty men of Babylon
have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; Their strength is exhausted,
They are becoming like women; Their dwelling places are set on fire, The bars of
her gates are broken. Jer. 51:30So, guess you could say ~ things are happening right
on time, exactly as prophesied!
And finally, guess you could say that I concede on who I think the AntiChrist *may* be. See, it all comes down to this. For the longest, I just rather figured that he (the AC) would have to come out of Europe ~ “the Roman Empire”..... And maybe just MAYBE this guy does have Roman Empire blood in his veins.... Assyrian??
But anyway, long-time readers of this site know who I’d been honing in on (and I do think he will have *some prominent role* during the tribulation ~ who knows what exactly.) False prophet perhaps? Blair is doing a GREAT JOB of “bringing ALL religions together”!! Don’t know what his role will be; don’t really care. But I do know that the false prophet will be equally as evil as the antichrist himself ~ remember, they BOTH get tossed into the Lake of Fire when Jesus returns & steps Foot on the Mt. of Olives. They get tossed in 1,000 years even before the devil gets tossed in!
At any rate, the only reason I’ve been waivering & second guessing myself about who may *possibly* take the reigns of this position has nothing to do with the way people have described him on mb’s, or those evil-looking eyes, or that horribly evil voice, or doing as he pleases, or tossing the name of Jesus around & yet doing exactly opposite of what the Bible commands, nor am I spotting him out due to his love and fascination with Islam {he IS a Muslim himself!}…. No, the main, well truly the only reason I’ve come to (just recently, in fact) change my mind & wonder if indeed this person foots the bill is because I believe very firmly that the U.S. is the daughter of Babylon & as such, will be wiped out later on in the Trib.
Read Is. 14 ~ turns out, it is the KING OF BABYLON who is the Antichrist!!
I admit to never having read this before, until someone recently pointed it out. Perhaps the key verse is Is. 14:20 ~ because you have DESTROYED YOUR own LAND. Whose land?? Well, it’s not Britain that’s going to get wiped out during the Trib. In addition to “mystery” Babylon (which I believe to be the Vatican) as it is a 1. religious entity 2. and took the SOULS of many over the years, 3. and it is a CITY; whereas also the DAUGHTER of BABYLON (a “nation”!!) gets wiped out later during the Trib. And whose land
is it? The ANTICHRIST’S land!!
Yes, you guys know who I’m talking about. Half of this country remains blind to him and his evil ways; they just go on about their business & continue their lives with blinders on. {sound very familiar? Like how the Bible says it will be just before the rapture?!} If this guy was set to lose the next election (who knows, but?)….. then that would mean things (rapture, tribulation) would HAVE to get underway before the U.S. has its next election.
Perhaps that will be one of THEE very reasons this country will be in civil war during the Tribulation ~ because maybe there will be NO MORE ELECTIONS in the U.S.!! Because this very person, “according to his own will” will simply bulldoze the system the way he’s done up till now, and simply decide that he is going to remain in power! /speculating, but I can sure see a very possibility here!
This commentary is plenty long enough. Please pray that “all roads will be clear” (no detours) as we work feverishly on getting the new site up & going (still will be named the same, but hopefully a much-cleaner version coming soon!) Thank you for your fervent prayers for our health and for work-related issues.
I have no need to tell you just what a back-stabbing world we live in! And how people make a game of it in hurting other people without as much as batting an eye. I reminded myself just this morning that the Lord will be The One to come with vengeance. HE WILL REPAY!!! So don’t worry about the jerks & knuckleheads getting the best of you. Their pay day IS coming!! Some how I take solace in that.
Lord Jesus, may we remain ready for when You are! Praying for the peace of Jerusalem! Amen!
