THE RAGE

I hate to say this but… things are going to get worse.
There are times that being a watchman on the wall is not to fun.
Right now is one of those times.
Here it is the Christmas season, but what is weird is that it sure does not feel like Christmas.
In fact, is it me or does there seem like some cloud of impending doom hanging over everyone's head.
Tracye and I were talking about it on the way home from church.
She was mentioning that there just seems to be something "not right."
Usually during this time people are a little more happier, patient, loving and kind.
This year, nothing.
Watching the black Friday chaos was crazy in and of itself. People trampling other people just for an iPad.
In our discussion I mentioned that I started to feel it the day after the election. In fact since the election I have maintained some mild form of the funk / impending doom and have not been able to shake that feeling.
Tracye, the same thing. Just a weird hollow feeling.
Neither of us can call it "depression." Well maybe the day after the election we could. But now that we are in December and the election is over, that post election doldrums are not effecting me anymore.
This is something different.
Now something kind of happened this weekend that is interesting.
Then it came to me.

The Rage

I was sitting at my computer doing my typical scanning of the news seeing what was going on, reading my email and having my morning coffee.

Then it hit me.

What we are witnessing, what we feel building, that impending doom… it is THE RAGE

We have all been feeling it.

When ”The Rage" started to surface, it was an isolated instance here and there. No one was really paying attention to it, that is unless you are a watchman on the wall.

What was weird is that it wasn't till sometime last week when "The Rage" really "popped up" on my radar.

Yes all of us knew that we are living in the last days and perilous time shall come.

But to finally put a "name" to what it is I have been feeling, I felt like one of those pieces in the prophetic puzzle just dropped into place.

Think about it for a moment.

For the past few years it seemed that the "air" has been getting thicker and thicker. So much so that one could almost cut it with a butter knife.

It was thick enough that people knew something was up, but they could not put their finger on it.

Last week I put out an article titled "Dec 21, 2012 - The Day The Crazies Come Out"
If you have not read the article, you can read it here > http://tinyurl.com/the-crazies-come-out

A few days later this headline shocked the nation.

"At Least 28 Dead in Shooting at Connecticut Elementary School"

As you probably know, a deranged "shooter" shot his own mother, then stole her car and took some of his mother's guns. He then drove it to a local school where he forced himself into the school "like a mad man" and killed over 28 people, most of which were children.

Wow… that did not take long, the crazies are starting to come out.

The Internet lights up with a buzz of speculation and finger pointing.

Why would anyone do that?

What would be the cause?

It was reported that the shooter wrote he was hoping that Dec 21 was the end of the world. He wanted the world to die.

The day after the shooting I was surfing around on Facebook and noticed a post from one of my readers.

It was one of those 3D Technicolor posts

Now some of you may know what I am talking about when I say that this was one of those 3D Technicolor posts. It is some article or something that jumps off the page and totally catches your attention.

I remember it clearly because the light bulb started to go off.

A piece of the puzzle identified itself and clues started to make sense.

Here is what I read… (note - names and places have been changed in respect the identity)

Second time in two weeks we've been crime victims in Huntsville. Both times, at the hands of an entitlement minded ... ahem... 'person' who thought we 'owed' them.

Last night, Mapletreet Mall. Woman cuts us off when we're waiting for a parking space.

Actually pulled up close enough behind us that we couldn't back up enough to let the guy out of his space, then she lays on her horn to prove she's not going to move, and we had been sitting there waiting for the guy to get in his car.

Jack gets out, asks her why she did it. No answer, just an angry 'you owe me' stare.

So, without another word, Jack gets back in the car, we go find another parking spot.

Then, the witch shows up, says she's 'taking down our numbers' and that 'her boyfriend is on his way to come 'kick your a**!".

Kid you not, threatens us and everything.

We walked away, went to find the security guard, he walks out with us, woman is gone.

He said, 'this happens all the time, they're getting worse and worse around here'.

We come out later, you guessed it, the witch keyed our vehicle...

Whatever happened to treating others better than yourself? I've had to honestly, 'pray for those who despitefully have used me'...over and over the last few weeks...and months.

God help us...We're a sad nation to live in these days... It used to be better in this country.

This was a turning point for me.

There was something here that I could not really put my finger on.

Then of a sudden it popped into my head.

The Rage.

But that is not all, there was another piece of information, something there.

See, I don't know about you, but when something like this happens, it kind of burns a place in the ol memory banks and I start doing what I call "chewing on it."

I am sure that you have done something like this also in the past.

There was some sort of information, or something that you kept thinking about way back in the back of your mind. At times your subconscious is thinking about it, analyzing it, breaking it down, sectoring it up into pieces so that you can zone in on that speck of information.

A lot of times you do not even realize you are thinking about it, but you are.

Then all of a sudden, the light bulb goes off.

What went off in my head? …. Noe as in Noah and the ark.

 

As in The Days of Noe

After all that chewing these past few days, that was the light bulb.

"The days of Noe."

What did the Days of Noe have to do with what happened to my reader in the parking lot as well as the shooting in Connecticut?

Matthew 24:37 KJV But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Let me explain how I was feeling at that moment. Some of you know this because you are watchmen also.

Imagine that I gave you a single piece to a 1000 piece puzzle.

Let's say that the puzzle was a picture of a lake in the Swiss alps surrounded by trees and those cute little Swiss homes you see in all those picture post card.

Your single piece of the puzzle has some green on it, but you really can't tell if it is grass or trees, and also specks of grey, which could be any part of the lake edge or sides of the mountain.

Looking at that one single piece out of a 1000, can you say where it goes exactly?

One might after a very long time of studying the picture for a few months, but even then, unless you have other pieces to go off of, you really do not know where that one piece of the puzzle goes and does it fit or not.

So here is a puzzle piece that you hold up and shout " I HAVE IT!"

Then it dawns on you at the same time that you really do not know what you have except a piece of a 1000 piece puzzle and you have no idea where it fits within that 1000 pieces.

But you know that piece of the puzzle is something important.

What you need is more pieces so that the picture of the puzzle starts to take shape.

My puzzle is called "The Rage" and that more and more pieces of the puzzle are starting to show up.

Christ Warns Us…

Two days before Christ was to be crucified, He and the 12 disciples sat upon the mount of Olives. His disciples asked Him the following…

Matthew 24:3 KJV And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Christ responded to them and He spoke about a number of signs that would take place. All of which would take place during a certain generation. It was during what is called "The Olivette Discourse" that a specific prophetic warning would be issued.

Matthew 24:37 KJV But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

It is the Olivette Discourse that Christ gave to help people recognize the time of His second coming.

What is interesting is that because Christ speaks of Noe / Noah and the Great Flood, He is verifying it as a historical fact and not a made up story as many like to portray it as.

In this He is also reminding people of the evil wickedness that took place during that time and how God handled it.

But something that is often overlooked is that He is also encouraging us to study closely the characteristics of the days before the Flood, because these would also characterize the days just before His return.

The first great age of human history was brought to its climax in the days of Noah.

Everyone that Noah knew was also his relative in one way or another. It is even speculated that due to the very long life spans that man lived during this time, Noah might have met his great great grandfather, Adam.

Again, this is speculation. But it shows you that there is a lot about that age that we do not think about.

It was during this age also that sin was introduced into the world.

Eve was tempted to doubt the word of God by Satan. If you remember, Satan, in the form of a serpent uttered these words to her "hath God said?"

Genesis 3:1 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?

From that very first bite of the apple the true ugliness of man was born and passed on in the life of Cain. He was the world first liar and murder, something else we do not often think about.

It was out of Cain's rebellion to God that a godless civilization came about.

It was through his descendants that man fell into cesspool of wickedness and corruption that even the most imaginative person today is sickened in an attempt to grasp the magnitude of how far man fell into sin.

Sin and the fall of man was so bad that even God was grieved to His core. He actually regretted making and putting man upon the earth.

Genesis 6:5-6 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.

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

The Rage was at its height at that time.

Another Piece of The Puzzle Drops Into Place

Ok, this is where things start to get out on a limb.

But I am reminded of the following quote by Stonewall Jackson…

"truth trampled to the ground is still the truth"

Today PZ Insider Kip posted the following to our PZ Forum…

"Is this zombie attack going to be real or something made up? Zombies should be fiction like, come on."

Yep, when I saw the email come in, the light bulb went off… jumped off the screen in 3D Technicolor.

Now I want to say that I do not believe in the walking dead. But I cannot say with 100 percent authority that it could not happen.

But we cannot rule out the demonic possession of a body near death, or someone who has opened themselves up to full demonic possession. History and lore are full of stories from ages past. "The truth trampled into the ground is still the truth."

Now why did this jump off the page to me?

Because for some unknown reason, I have been researching this topic and the possibility of throngs of utterly insane people doing unimaginable things in mass.

Again, look at this past week's shooting as well as the rise in horrendous crime not only here in the US, but all over the world.

Did you catch this headline a few days ago?

Man Stabs 22 Children At Chinese Elementary School

BEIJING (AP) — A man wielding a knife wounded 22 children and one adult outside a primary school in central China as students were arriving for classes on Friday, the police said.

The attack, in the village of Chengping in Henan Province, happened shortly before 8 a.m., said a police officer from Guangshan County, where the village is located.

The attacker, Min Yingjun, 36, was subdued by security guards and taken into custody by the police, said the officer, who declined to give her name, which is customary among Chinese civil servants. Guards have been posted at schools across China after a spate of attacks in recent years. (1)

Now, gettting back to what PZ Insider Kip said…

"Is this zombie attack going to be real or something made up? Zombies should be fiction like, come on."

Remember what took place in Florida over the summer?

'Cannibal' shot dead for eating homeless man's face

A naked Miami man was shot dead after being found eating another man's face on a highway off-ramp in a drug-induced rage. Rudy Eugene, who authorities suspect may have been high on a dangerous new street drug known as "bath salts," had to be shot four times by a police officer to halt the cannibalistic attack. (2)

I saw this story and was amazed at what was taking place in the world.

Could this really be happening?

Yes it was, but when it did, I did not know it was The Rage yet, but I knew it was some turning point.

But this was just one of the first cases to come about.

As the months progressed, we would hear more of these types of stories.

Some were blamed on drugs, some others alcohol induced stupors, others just out and out crazies caught gnawing on people that they have attacked.

But it wasn't just here, it was also starting to appear all over the world.

Mob Killings and Cannibalism in The Congo

Right by the bodies, people were walking around with bottles of alcohol in their hands [another witness reports some present were on drugs]. When we got there, a young girl asked us: “Do you want me to show you what we do with criminals who come here?” Another girl insisted: “Yes, go on, show them!”, and, egged on by the group of people around her, the first girl bit into a piece of burnt human flesh.

We had already heard, as we made our way to the scene, that people had been eating these corpses. When we got there, people could speak of nothing else - the fact that angry residents had eaten pieces of dead bodies during the night [FRANCE 24 does not have footage from that night, but we do have footage that shows decapitated dead bodies]. And it’s not the first time this has happened after a mob killing. (3)

Most people don’t believe something can happen until it already has. It isn't stupidity or weakness, that’s just human nature. It is something called the "Normalcy Bias" and it effects just about everyone.

What is the "Normalcy Bias"?

The normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.(4)

When you are a watchman, you see the "Normalcy Bias" more often than not.

People don't want to believe what is happening. They would rather bury their heads in the sand and just forget it all. We watchmen even do it ourselves.

What we need to understand is that this problem was not going away, in fact it was growing.

This isn't some "B" horror flick that was playing on Saturday afternoon "Creature Features", this was real life and it is starting to get worse.  

Remember the guy who ate off the face of the homeless guy? You remember what they blamed that action on?

Yea, "Bath Salts," a new synthetic drug that you can purchase at just about any smoke shop or gas station that was on the wrong side of town.

Was "bath salts" the culprit?

No, but it did have a very minor part to play in all of it?

Possibly.

 

Was it a sole cause?

No, it was just one of many paths that The Rage took.

The wonderful thing about the Internet is you can find out just about anything, if you know where to look and how deep to dig.

There are days I thank Al Gore for inventing this wonderful world of information…. Yea right.

Remember that 1000 piece puzzle of the Swiss alps? Well what is the first thing you do when you start putting a puzzle together?

You find the edges. The edges are the beginning of the picture. Once you have the edges in place, pieces start to fall into place.

That is what is happening here.

The pieces are beginning to fall into place.

The picture is starting to form, but see through a glass dimly.

It has been building ever so slowly, but now it seems to be picking up speed.

The Rage is out there, but I am not the only one noticing it.

The Rage is Growing - The Rage is Here

Life Under Hitler? Yes, We Are That Close

With the huge win from the current administration and the clear understanding that the electoral college is now dominated by one party, I honestly believe that this was our last election.

Do you know that the current administration won with the lowest approval rate ever?

Did you notice that the President really did nothing to campaign per sey or was very laxidasical about it? In fact, I was talking to a PZ Insider from England and he stated that it almost appeared to him that the President "gave up" and knew he was going to lose.

Well, he didn't give up. I honestly believe that he knew that he was going to win no matter what.

The following is a post from the Ulsterman website quoting Valerie Jarrett …

The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them,

“After we win this election, it’s our turn.  Payback time.  Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay.  Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.” 

She was talking directly to about three of them.  Sr. staff.  And she wasn’t trying to be quiet about it at all.  And they were all listening and shaking their heads and smiling while she said it.  Pretty creepy.

Valerie Jarrett is Obama's most Senior Advisor, and in fact the scuttlebutt at the Whitehouse is that her office is the brains behind the administration.

Jarrett made this statement on Nov 1, a few days prior to the election.

Prophetic? I don't think so. I believe she already knew something and that they had the election in the bag at the get go.

National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs
Something that people are starting to take notice of is that this administration likes to release information just before a holiday or late Friday afternoon so that they can have a weekend to observe what the reaction is.
This memo, National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs , was released the day before Thanksgiving on Nov 21, 2012.
What this memo does is lay out the guidelinesfor executive agencies to establish “effective insider threat programs.”
In other words, They have now put rules in place to keep an eye on possible insider whistleblowers.
Here’s what the relatively short memo said (Note: Emphasis added):

This Presidential Memorandum transmits the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs (Minimum Standards) to provide direction and guidance to promote the development of effective insider threat programs within departments and agencies to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by employees who may represent a threat to national security. These threats encompass potential espionage, violent acts against the Government or the Nation, and unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including the vast amounts of classified data available on interconnected United States Government computer networks and systems.

The Minimum Standards provide departments and agencies with the minimum elements necessary to establish effective insider threat programs. These elements include the capability to gather, integrate, and centrally analyze and respond to key threat-related information; monitor employee use of classified networks; provide the workforce with insider threat awareness training; and protect the civil liberties and privacy of all personnel.

The resulting insider threat capabilities will strengthen the protection of classified information across the executive branch and reinforce our defenses against both adversaries and insiders who misuse their access and endanger our national security.

So you want to rule the world and put things in place to be able to do so? First thing you do is make just about any information about your agency be "classified." This way people have to jump through hoops to get access to that information and by the time they do, it is to late and has been implemented or the information is out of date.
Another thing is eliminating insiders who will see said information and then blow the whistle on you.
That is what this memo in essence has done.
More and more there are things being put into place that is eroding our freedoms and strengthening the powerbase.
Like it or not, we are repeating history, specifically the pre-WWII Germany's history.

America's Holocaust?

Yes, it is going on and has so for some while. What makes this administration different is that it is the most extreme pro-abortion president ever to seek reelection. He was also the most pro-abortion member of Senate and the most pro-abortion legislator to serve in either house of congress.
The business of killing our own babies is reminiscent to that of the Nazi campaign of dehumanizing the Jews to justify their brutal treatment. Since they were able to do that to the Jews, they then were able to dehumanize any group of people that resisted and spoke out against the Nazi regime.

What people often do not realize is that over 11 million people died at the hands of the Nazi's. 6 Million of them were Jews the others were bible believing Christians, Catholics and others who were in resistance to Hitler and his treatment of the Jews. There were also a small number of malcontents that Hitler wanted done away.

Eugenics and Euthanasia Under Hitler
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Regime was also obsessed with eugenics and later it was discovered, euthanasia.

The official definition of eugenics is as follows….

The study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics)  or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics) (1)

The most popular way to "discourage" those that they deemed having the undesirable inheritable traits was to kill them.

The official definition of euthanasia is as follows…

1. Also called mercy killing. the act of putting to death painlessly or allowing to die, as by withholding extreme medical measures, a person or animal suffering from an incurable, especially a painful, disease or condition.

2. painless death.

It was common practice to have elderly or mentally handicapped people be taken away to "hospitals" so that they can be "better cared for." Months later a letter would come letting the next of kin know that the person died unexpectedly and that the government has taken the responsibility of the disposing of the body for the benefit of the family and not wanting to cause any hardship.

The Nazis actively worked towards assuming power over Germany with the goal of allowing only the most desirable human beings to reproduce.

Obama's appointment of John Holdren as his Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (or more informally, "Science Czar") shows that there is a eugenicist agenda.
Michelle Malkin published an anonymous Internet sleuth findings on John Holdren, Obama appointment as "science czar". (2)

Here is his findings…

These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States’ Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;

• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;

• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;

• People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.

• A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.

This guy took these ideas right out of the Nazi SS play book.
How can a U.S. President possibly appoint such a person to an office in the White House? That is unless he feels the same way. People tend to surround themselves with like minded people.
This is just one example. Hiter had Josef Mengele, this administration has Holdren.

Socialism is Socialism and is ALWAYS to the left

It has become a popular misconception in 90% of the lay people today that Nazism is an "extreme right wing" political movement. What people do not understand is that the word "Nazi" is an abbreviation for the "National Socialist German Workers Party."
Socialism and Communism is always from the left and one step away from communism.
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party were socialist. The current administration is also socialist and communist to the core.
What people need to understand is that under socialism / communism millions upon millions have died.
The horrors inherent in socialism have made themselves all too well known and yet people still do not seem to grasp what is going on here.
Warfare and bloodshed is the soul of socialist ideology and its adherents.
If someone disagrees with you and your socialist plan, there is a simple solution, kill them.
Socialism is socialism. There is no difference and the outcome is always the same. The current administration's socialism is the exact same that made Adolf Hitler so evil.
President Obama's unprecedented assumption of powers to himself and his office is remarkably and frighteningly similar to Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany.
Obama has already suspended habeas corpus (with the help of George W Bush who laid the groundwork) by claiming the right of indefinite detainment of potential terrorists without charges.
This occurred very shortly after his Department of Homeland Security issued two reports (3) labeling Bible believing Christians, Veterans, supporters of Ron Paul, believers in certain amendments of the Constitution, those who promote devolution of Federal power to the states, and those who hold to Pro-Life beliefs as potential terrorists.
These people, now deemed as potential terrorists, can now can be rounded up and detained without charges legally.
How long will it be till the next of kin get a notice that their family member died unexpectedly and for the good of the family, the body has already been disposed of.

Hitler did the same thing and it all falls within the standard operation procedures of Socialism and Communism.
We are now living under an administration where the rule of law will be implemented by executive orders, making Congress irrelevant.
Hard core socialism and communism that were once driven underground in many places around the world have now resurfaced with a vengeance here in the United States. But that is not all, they have now taken over.
One has to wonder how long we will still have freedom of speech, movement, assembly, and control of our private property?
Those who stand on Biblical Christian faith have been made out to be second class citizens and now churches who stand on God's Word will be driven underground. When this happens it will allow the forces of evil, humanism, secularism, hedonism, socialism, communism to prosper among the millions of Americans whose only god is their material possessions, their entertainment and pleasure.
The American people are being made into slaves. The welfare-dependent Americans (over half of the US population today, with over 47 million on food stamps), unions, and illegal aliens have chosen for the rest of us the dark path of serfdom to big government and to socialist utopia.
Which, will always end up as every socialist / communist utopia ends up…. It massive bloodshed.
The days of Hitler are not far off and in fact are a whole lot closer than we may believe.

The Shaking To Come - Our Talks in Costa Rica

As some of you know, we went down to Costa Rica for several reasons, but one of the main reason was to meet with some other watchman ministries.
I want to thank several of you who helped us with this as well as some of the ministries who also helped make the way for us to go down.
While we were down there we had a good time, made new friends and re-established relationships.
Tracye pointed out that God really blessed us weather wise. October is usually the wettest month of the year and yet, we really did not have much rain except in the evenings. What is interesting is that the day we left, it started to rain all day. But when we were in the different towns we were visiting, barely any rain at all; in fact we had some of the most beautiful spring like weather one could have.
When we met up with our watchmen friends, God really blessed that time as well. We had some good quality time to talk about what is going on, specifically in the US. We talked about other things going on in the world, but the US seemed to be the topic that we kept coming back to.
One thing that came out of this meeting is something that was obvious, we are no longer a good nation.
Instead of standing for truth and what is right, we are defending political wars. Wars dealing with power, greed and shedding of innocent blood and viewing that as just "casualties of war."
We no longer defend the innocent and the bloodshed of the innocent runs deep.
We as a nation have lost our moral and spiritual barring. We have forgotten to be good and because of that we are no longer great.
Instead of doing what is right, we continue to taunt God with our sin and rebellion.
Now I have to ask, is this anything new to you who are watchmen?
No, not really. It just hammers it home again and confirms what God has been impressing upon those of us who are watchmen. If you are reading this, you are probably shaking your head yes as well.
Sometimes being a watchman is not the job we wished we had. But it is the job God has appointed us to do.
With it comes responsibility, which most of the time is not a welcomed one. We are the ones who are called to warn the people. Because if we do not warn them, the blood of the innocent is on our hands. So we must warn and shout it from the roof tops so all can hear. Only then can we say we did our job of warning the people.
But we believe that the time of warning is coming to a close and God is starting to make His move upon this nation.
But that is not all.
Something else that kept coming up, was that there seems to be a noose that is tightening around our nation's neck.
Our historic enemies are surrounding us, and we the people do not care.
Our enemies see us as a long awaited prize waiting to be plucked and taken over.
America, like ancient Israel has been called to repent. Over and over again God has given us warning.
Saved and unsaved disregard the warnings even when it is right before their eyes. They still refuse to repent and submit to God.
I am not a prophet and I am not claiming some prophetic word either.
What I have done, is just been a good Berean and gone to God's Word and sought out examples from the past.
They are clearly there, you just have to read and study.
King Solomon once stated that there is nothing new under the sun.
Man will continue to repeat himself and his poor decisions that he makes. He will repeat his sinful history over and over again. This is a fact and today we see it taking place right before our eyes.
Like ancient Israel, our enemies are beginning to surround us and we still do not give heed to this warning.
Russia conducted major nuclear tests. Did the people care? No, in fact the news was barely even reported.
Russian bombers enter US airspace, do we care?
Russian Subs have been found to be patrolling in the Gulf of Mexico, do we care?
Our nation is being eroded from within due to our sin, hedonism and selfishness. Do we care?
Our historical enemy Islam is growing like a cancer in our own nation, do we care?
China holds debt over our heads as a weapon, do we care?
When faced with all of this what is our response?
"Let's eat and drink and be merry; for tomorrow we die!"
AKA… Party Hardy.
Sound familiar?
I am reminded of the book of Isaiah. In it the prophet tells the people that God is calling the people to repentance. This was at a time when Jerusalem was surrounded.
What was interesting is that the people did not care that they were going to die.
Scripture says…

Isaiah 22:12 - 13 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.

Our nation is reflecting what once took place in Ancient Israel.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
When a nation turns from God, the outcome will always be the same; and yet people refuse to heed the warning and continue to buck against God.
God will send warnings trying to get the attention of the people.
As I have stated before I believe that 9-11, the financial fall of 2008 as well as other events were warnings from God calling our nation to repentance.
Christian and non Christian alike refuse to acknowledge it. They make excuses, drum up lies, say good times are ahead of us, God's blessing our nation, etc., etc., etc.
Again, this is the same thing that ancient Israel did when the Assyrian king Sennacherib laid siege Jerusalem.
They refused to listen to the warnings.

Isaiah 30:9 - 11 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Like the days back then, so are the days today.
We The People do not want to hear about our sin and the need to repentance. The churches today preach a "God is love", a sugar coated, false prosperity message that leads to hell and damnation.
The overall message coming out of many pulpits today is… "Oh, we don't want to offend the people. They don't need to hear about hell and damnation. We just want happy people giving to our building fund and our TV programs and our other efforts so that everyone feels warm and fuzzy all over."
While I was down in Costa Rica visiting with the other watchmen, God inspired upon me that He is getting ready to really shake this nation to the core.
Like ancient Israel, I do not think that we are going to repent.
As much as I like to quote and have hope in 2 Chronicles 7:14, I don't think we will come to that, at least not in the near future.
The price and consequences of our sin and rebellion has caught up with us.
I explained what we are facing and the other watchmen agreed. They have seen the writing on the wall too.
We were talking and we called what we believe is about to transpire. We dubbed it "The Shaking."
"The Shaking" What We Will Soon Be Facing
I and others believe that the time of mercy is over. God has given our nation chance after chance to repent and all we have done is spit in His face.
As with ancient Israel which God shook, we too will go though our time of shaking our nation to its core. It is God's way of trying to get our attention.
Here are just some of those things I believe what God will use to shake this nation.
The Financial Cliff - starting Jan 1 this nation will face some major financial cuts and major rise in taxes across the board. This will take its toll on millions. If this is pushed off, then we are probably looking at June 2013 before something is done. If the can is kicked down the road a bit, the Feds will start up the printing presses with gusto just trying to keep the economy afloat. This in turn will cause even more drastic inflation.
If this is pushed off, look to Europe to collapse first, thus causing everyone to run to the dollar.
Those of us watching, this will be a flag we need to watch for. When we see this take place, we will know that our time is just around the corner.
What this will do is will falsely prop up our economy. Many will cry out "happy days are here again." Then all of a sudden we will wake up and realize that we have flown off the cliff and gravity is about to take hold.
And when it does, we will fall and probably fall very hard.
Inflation Beginning To Run Amok - We are amazed at the prices of things already starting to go up. We don't buy food that much because we eat from our pantry and shelf reliance items. But recently we have seen prices almost double. Just yesterday my daughter bought some dish washing soap for the dishwasher. It was $8.00 for a small bottle where the last time we purchased it was around $4 - $5.
80-20 ground beef five lbs for $16.95. That is almost $4.00 a lb and with that you are paying for 20% fat.
A 2 lb block of cheese has doubled from $3 - $4 to over $8.00.
These are just a few examples of inflation taking hold in every day America.
Food Prices Going Up / Shortages of Food - As with everything else, food is also effected by inflation. But what people forget is the lack of food and shortage of crops that was produced the last three years.
We are now at a place nationally where we have used up our supplies from past harvests and the harvests prior were not able to replenish what we as a nation consumed.
This winter I believe we will see some major increases in the cost of food to the point there will be people who cannot afford to buy food.
But what we need to remember is that hungry people do desperate things to feed their families.
Already we have 45 million people on food stamps, what will happen when our nation's coffers cannot afford to pay that food stamp bill? Our nation's debt is going to be our down fall and eventually food stamps like other government welfare programs will be effected.
Another Housing Bubble Will Burst - With the baby boomers selling off their homes so they can down size. A glut of homes are beginning to form. 2016 the peak children of baby boomers will be in range to start purchasing new and these used homes. But with approx 72 million homes being put on the market and only 45 million baby boomer kids able to purchase, that puts the housing market in the negative.
In other words to prevent a housing bust, baby boomer kids will need to purchase two homes to keep the housing economy alive. We know that they will not do this, so house values will drop like a lead balloon and along with that a large chunk of our economy will go down with it.
Do you realize how much the home industry drives our economy?
Think about everything that goes into a home, keeps a home running. Everything that makes a house a home will be effected.
ERISA Law Going Into Effect - This is a biggie and if nothing else crushes our nation, this will. When the baby boomers bought, companies made millions throughout the years.
Now all these Baby Boomers have money that they have saved for retirement via their 401(k), IRAs, ect.
Between 1995 and 2005 the millions of people who followed the “Work hard, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify, diversify, diversify.” advice lost an estimated $7-9 trillion.
In the 2008 collapse they lost even more of their retirement. In fact many were wiped out.
We now are facing 2016 where 2,282,887 baby boomers that are turning seventy. The ERISA Law states that at age 70, retirees will be forced to start drawing out and paying taxes on the retirement funds.
Where is all this retirement money being housed?
In the stock market.
In 2017 the number of retirees jumps to 2,928,818 more people. That is about 700,000 more people than the year before that will start selling and pulling their money out of the stock market too.
Just in these two years close to 5,211,705 people will start pulling money out of the stock market via selling off shares of 401K, IRA, and other self directed retirement accounts.
That many people will affect the economy and more people will be added each year for approximately 20 years. That is if the market lasts for 20 more years.
What we need to remember is that all in all, that is a lot of stock being sold, or at least trying to be sold.
Here is the kicker.... What happens when millions of people start selling millions of shares of stock?
The prices start to drop and fast.
The laws of supply and demand will come into effect, and the odds of major panic just increased enormously.
If none of the other major events bring this nation to her knees, ERISA will and do it very quickly to boot.
Overnight millions upon millions of baby boomers and anyone else saving for retirement through one of these retirement vehicles will be broke. Inflation and supply and demand will make these accounts worthless. The stock market will fall like no other throwing us into a major economic crisis like this nation has never seen before.
Will We Repent?
After all the shaking, will the people turn to God after all?
If we are following what Israel did in the past, which we have pretty much have followed step by step, then the answer is, No.
The people, even many Christians today will continue to choose rebellion over God's Word.
Like Israel, the people refuse to heed the watchmen warnings ...

Isaiah 30:9 - 11 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Woe Unto Them...
In Isaiah we read about the sins of the nation who have turned their backs upon the Lord. They shake their fists in defiance and taunt God.
God in return tells the people, "Woe unto them..."

Isaiah 5:11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Isaiah 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

Isaiah 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

But out of all the five woes mentioned in chapter 5, the woe found in verse 18-19 is the one that is most telling...

Isaiah 5:18 -19 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

This is where our nation is today. Utter rebellion.
We parade our sins in pubic so they are pridefully on full display.
We shake our fist at God and challenge Him to "make speed and hasten His work." In other words "proclaim your judgment upon us God, we do not care. We know our fate before us, let's just get it over and done with. "
This attitude that we display today is the same attitude that Israel had as we can see here in Isaiah 22...

Isaiah 22:12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

Isaiah 22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.

We are past the repentance stage and as much as I do not want to say it, I believe we are a nation past the point of no return.
It will take years of pain and even possible bloodshed to break our rebellious spirit and return to a nation serving God.
I do believe that we will get there, but the price we will pay will be great.
So these and other "shakings" will take place.
But to get to the place of pain, something else needs to take place.
It happened to Ancient Israel. God is a constant unchanging God. So that means that our nation will need to go through it as well.
What will that place of pain and suffering be?
I will discuss that in my next article.

The Antichrist - The Charismatic Leader

Daniel 7:8 (KJV) I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

Daniel 7:20 (KJV) And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

It is from these verses in Daniel which we gain a little bit of information about the coming Antichrist.

The primary point that I want to focus on is that we know he will be a powerful and charismatic leader.

Charisma is the ability to exercise diffuse and intensive influence over the normative or ideological orientations of others (Etzioni, 1961). As a result we can identify charismatic leaders by their effects on their followers such that followers of charismatic leaders:

a) have a high degree of loyalty, commitment, and devotion to the leader;

b) identify with the leader and the mission of the leader;

c) emulate his values, goals, and behavior;

d) see the leader as a source of inspiration;

e) derive a sense of high self-esteem from their relationship with the leader and his mission; and

f) have an exceptionally high degree of trust in the leader and the correctness of his beliefs. (1)

To be a charismatic leader, one has to have followers, that is why "leaders lead."

If one does not have followers, then how are they leaders much less a charismatic leader?

Here is an interesting point, most charismatic leaders do not "take" the power, the power is always given to them.

A good example is to look at is Adolph Hitler's rise to power.

Adolph Hitler's Rise to Power

It was Germany's economic depression that really set the stage for the rise of Hitler and Nazism.

After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the US called in its loans to Germany, and because Germany could not pay back the loans, the German economy collapsed. The number of unemployed grew; crime grew, people starved on the streets. This is the common fallout to a FIAT based economy. It was out of this crisis that the German people looked for someone to blame. They also needed hard solutions. In this case Hitler offered them both, and Nazi success in the elections grew.

Germans turned to Nazism because they were desperate. The number of Nazi seats in the Reichstag rose from 12 in 1928 to 230 in July 1932.

Power is given.

But as we know from history Hitler did not gain the power he wanted. It was his goal to become "Chancellor" but that did not happen.

In November 1932 elections were held in Germany and although the Nazis were gaining in popularity what did happen is that they failed to get a majority of seats in the Reichstag. Because of this Hitler pitched a huge fit and those in power listened.

Franz von Papen was Chancellor of Germany at that time, but he could not get enough support in the Reichstag either. So Hindenburg and von Papen were having to govern by emergency decree under Article 48 of the German Constitution. It is at that time they offered Hitler the post of vice-Chancellor if he promised to support them. Well Hitler refused, in fact he demanded to be made Chancellor. So Von Papen and Hindenburg took a risk and on the 30th of January 1933 Hindenburg made Hitler Chancellor. This was a huge mistake on the part of Hindenburg, he thought he could control Hitler, and history shows how wrong he was.

So as we can see even in the case of Adolph Hitler, the power was given.

The Power is Given

The case will be the same with the Antichrist, his power will be given to him by those who follow and support him.

It is a fact that we are living in the last days. Based on Biblical Prophecy that has come to pass, many agree that we are also living during the final generation.

Stating that and also understanding that power is given and not taken, I have to ask the following…

"Where / who are those who will follow the Antichrist today?"

Looking back at the characteristics of those who follow a charismatic leader, what group of people can we point to today that fit that description?

Many people point to the Catholic Church, but it is a known fact that the Catholic Church is losing numbers. In fact when the rapture takes place (looking at a pre-trib) there will be some Catholics who are also part of the rapture thus diminishing their numbers even more.

Many people point to the New Age followers, but even their numbers are far less than that of the Catholics.

Same goes with Freemasons, Mormons, and just about any other religion out there.

So who is left?

Islam.

Many people out there keep looking for some smoke and mirror European who will rise to power. But to gain global influence, the numbers have to be there to support the leader.

But people refuse to look at the obvious that is taking place.

"Europe has become an incubator for Islamist thought and political development. Since the early 1960s, Muslim Brotherhood members and sympathizers have moved to Europe and slowly but steadily established a wide and well-organized network of mosques, charities, and Islamic organizations. Unlike the larger Islamic community, the Muslim Brotherhood's ultimate goal may not be simply "to help Muslims be the best citizens they can be," but rather to extend Islamic law throughout Europe and the United States." (2)

Europe does not have the numbers to support that idea. The very fact that by 2025 all of Europe will be predominately Muslim is also another indicator that a western Antichrist is not feasible. England in the next several years will in fact become a Muslim nation and there is nothing that the British can do about it. The birthrate of Muslims in England far out weight that of the British nationals and they have lost the battle. England will fall to Islam and is doing so right before our eyes.

In fact we are seeing the beginnings of that taking place in the US as well.

Where / who are those who will follow the Antichrist?

Who will give him the power?

All logic points to Islam and who is their leader?

They call him the Mahdi, we call him the Antichrist.

Interesting enough is that when we read scripture, the Bible points out many ways to identify the Antichrist. These very same points are also the same points that Muslims are looking for in their leader the Mahdi.

While many people are looking for this "smoke and mirror" European, Islam is looking for their leader.

Many who seek out a European Antichrist seem to always fall back on one excuse or another and cannot point to solid facts, but instead point to what appears to be fairytales and hopes in something non-existent.

An example of that is that some point to the mysterious Illuminati. Well where are these people? Who are they and where are their numbers?

Do you see what I mean? There may be a small group of people who are elites, but they need more to truly effect change on the same level that the Antichrist will effect. Do I believe in these folks? Yes I do, but like the Catholics, New Agers and such, they do not have the willing human resources at hand in the numbers needed.

An interesting situation took place at Prophezine this weekend. We were hacked by Muslims from Turkey. We were probably hacked because we take a stand for what is right and expose Islam for what it is, a death cult from the pit of hell.

Why is it that one can stand out in the very center of town and scream at the top of their lungs the horrors of the catholic church, freemasons, Mormons, new age, ect. and not one thing happen to them except possibly strange looks from those who pass by.

But what would happen to the person who would do the same thing except speak out against Islam?

How long would that person be standing there in the middle of the town square?

Odds are not very long, and everyone knows that to be true, before some Muslim or Policeman came to stop them of their "hate speech."

In fact, with all those who are calling out catholic church, freemasons, Mormons, new age, ect, where are all those hackers bringing down the sites of those speaking out against them?

Think about it, where are those Catholic Hacker groups fighting in cyberspace against those who defame Catholicism?

What about Freemasons, Mormons, New Age, ect,?

Do you know of any?

I don’t.

Like it or not, the idea of a European AC is showing itself to be just smoke and mirrors idea and we need to pull our heads out of the sand and critically look at what scripture is clearly telling us.

In fact here is a list comparing what is taught about the Mahdi and what is known about the Antichrist.

Mahdi verses the Antichrist

* Both Deny Trinity And Cross
* Both Deny The Father And The Son
* Both Are Blasphemous
* Both Are Called Deceiver
* Both Claim To Be Messiah
* Both Kingdoms Suffer A Head Wound
* Both Work False Miracles
* Both Ride A White Horse
* Both Attempt To Change The Law
* Both Deny Women’s Rights
* Both Rule Over Ten Entities
* Both Are the Source of Death and War
* Both Use Military Force
* Both Honor Their God with Gold and Silver
* Both Honor a God of War And Advance His Glory Through War
* Both Condon Rape
* Both Usher Seven Years Peace Treaty
* Both Deceive And Destroy By Peace
* Both Break Treaties
* Both Love War for Booty
* Both Desire World Domination
* Both Lead A Turkish-Iranian Invasion
* Both Exalted As God
* Both Ascend To Heaven
* Both Are Described As Beautiful And Wise Bird
* Both Are Light Beings
* Both Are Pride Filled
* Both Are Lords of This World and the Underworld
* Both Are Called the “Son of the Dawn”
* Both Are Afflicters
* Both Are Cast Out Of Heaven
* Both Are “The Lords of Demons”
* Both Are Possessed
* Both Practice Beheading
* Both Desire Israel’s Destruction
* Both Occupy the Temple Mount
* Our Messiah is their Antichrist—Their Antichrist is our Messiah
* Both Stop the Rain
* Both Enjoy Desecrating Bodies (2)

Where is a list like this for a European Antichrist?

Only a Few Muslims Believe in the Mahdi?

Folks, we need to set the record straight, it is not just some small percentage of Islam that believes in the Mahdi. That is an idea falsely reported by a small group who have not conducted their research properly although say that they have.

To say it plainly, all of Islam is looking for the Mahdi and that is a proven fact. It is this fact that those who teach this "small percentage" idea refuse to acknowledge. Be it pride, fear, loss of support, whatever is the motive, they refuse to acknowledge this and they have made their minds up that they are correct instead of facing the provable truth.

What people need to understand is that Islam is the complete 180 degree opposite of Christianity. Their teachings are satanically inspired and basically "flip" what is taught in God's Word, the Bible. It is Satan's oldest ploy, "hath God said?"

Their hero the Mahdi in scriptures is our enemy the Antichrist.

While we await the Second Coming of Christ, they await the coming of Mahdi.

What Satan did is take God's Word and made all what is wrong… right, all what is good.. bad, and all what is true… false. We are literally seeing Isaiah 5:20 being fulfilled.

Isaiah 5:20 (KJV) Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Folks, Islam has have a high degree of loyalty, commitment, and devotion to their cause and will have to their future leader the Antichrist / Mahdi.

They are the fastest growing religion in the world today and they already have surpassed in numbers that of the Catholic Church and they are gaining on Christianity.

Islam also represents a complete system including political, social, economic, legal and religious. There is no separation of church and state. This is the very system that is foretold to us in Revelation 13

Revelation 13:16-18 (KJV) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Islam and the Antichrist / Mahdi are already of one mind and of one mission, that is to rule the world and create a global caliphate / government. All who stand against them will be offered to convert to Islam or die by the sword and beheaded.

Islam already emulates the values, goals, and behavior of the coming Antichrist / Mahdi. Just look at how Christians are already severely persecuted all over the world living within Muslim occupied lands. Even many are losing their heads just as Revelation 20:4 states…

Revelation 20:4 (KJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Many in Islam already see the Antichrist / Mahdi as a source of inspiration, and even derive a sense of high self-esteem from their relationship with the leader and his mission. Just look at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, and how closely he associates himself with the Antichrist / Mahdi.

Finally Muslims will have an exceptionally high degree of trust in the Antichrist / Mahdi and the correctness of his beliefs.

Why?

Because he is one of them, he will be a Muslim coming out of Islam who will then do as all dictators do and turn on those who gave him his power to secure his standing. They then embolden themselves to the point of seeing themselves as God. But we know for a fact that the Antichrist will take it even further.

Scripture says…

2 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJV) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

We need to dig into God's Word and allow it to be our filter to what we see taking place in the world. God's Word is very clear when we look down upon the written word and then look up and out upon that horizon, what is it that we clearly see?

We have to face the facts and say that we see Islam at the doorstep and not some European with some smoke and mirror "new world order" religion. We have got to stop shoving square pegs into round holes hoping that they will fit because that is what we in the west have been taught.

We need to give ourselves permission once again to read scripture for ourselves, allowing the Holy Spirit to properly guide us to what is truly there.

It isn't the latest and greatest author on the scene that tells us what our future holds. We have got to lay these "filters" aside because it is only the pure word of God that will direct our every step.

Folks, I know this is a real mind bender because I was there myself, that is until I got to a point and put all the books aside and looked down into my Bible and then looked up and out to the horizon. It isn't the news that guides us, nor is it books, DVDs or even TV shows. The only reliable absolute truth is God's Word.

Psalms 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
