"THE HATRED OF ISRAEL - THE DARK SHADOWS OF THE END" BY THE EXCELLENT JOSEPH CHAMBERS!!

Hatred of Israel: The Dark Shadows of the End - Joseph Chambers - http://www.pawcreek.org/

 

The city of Jerusalem is under mock attack.

 

The Iranians, Barack Obama's special friends and partners, have erected a simulated mosque representing the Mosque of Omar on the Holy Mount in Jerusalem. This is now their place to play war games and train for taking Jerusalem and destroying every Jew. This is happening right now while the world is totally involved in our own security questions. Such an event in Iran should shake the entire world but Paris and Brussels are so gripping, it is hard to think about little Israel.

 

Iran has been the primary sponsor of the terrorists and their many attacks for decades. ISIS may appear to be separate from Iran but we will soon know that this is totally untrue. Obama's administration is so inept and biased toward Iran that truth does not exist. Both Iran and ISIS are totally committed to the birth of a worldwide caliphate. The West must be subjected to their dream and our president has no ability to see the truth.

 

We are entering the very last stages of the end times in which Israel will be a "cup of trembling" to the whole world. We may have thought this worldwide emotion had already peaked. If so, we were wrong because it has only just begun. The victories of the war in Iraq have served to enflame the emotion of every enemy of Israel. Several months ago I said that the war to liberate Iraq was more for Israel than for America or anyone else. No, I do not believe that President Bush or his advisors believed that or even considered it. It was a sovereign thing; the prophetic action of our God who has already written the script in Biblical prophetic truths contained in Scripture.

 

It's breathtaking to sit in the earthly audience, even to help others look upon the prophetic stage, and to watch our God fulfill every nuance of His Holy Book. Israel will be hated, not because our God wants them hated, but because they through their own unbelief and evil ways have laid a foundation for judgment. As that judgment is acted out, it will cause their God that loves them and who has a plan for them to become angry towards their enemies and to start the process of their redemption. Apostle Paul said it better than I could ever say it, "For God hath concluded them (Israel) all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all." (Romans 11:32)

 

Zechariah Pictured This:

 

Zechariah prophesied of this very day, and he painted a clear picture for us to read. You can see the emotion of God Himself as He called for this day and prophesied, "...the burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel." (Zechariah 12:1) It did not please the heart of God to announce their terrible time of suffering. God, the Father speaks these kinds of truths because He is perfectly just, and because His chosen must pay for their unbelief and sin just as justly as the wicked pay. He always draws a contrast between holy things and the profane with every aspect of His Word. Listen as the Holy Spirit speaks the Word of God by Zechariah.

 

"The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." (Zechariah 12:1-3)

 

Not only will Israel be hated by the unbelieving world; but also, those professing faith in the same Bible. Suicide bombers will continue to strike. There is no way to stop the terror that will reign until the Rapture and the seven years of wrath are complete. Jerusalem, the holy city loved by God Himself, will continue to be "trodden" down from within by angry Gentile terrorists and fanatic Islamics. No one can change the Word of God. Not even God Himself will alter His words spoken by His prophets. He said, "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven." (Psalm 119:89)

 

Isaiah spoke to the fact of Israel's sorrows until the Day of the Lord should come. "Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out." (Isaiah 51:17)

 

They must drink the last dregs and then wring them out to the last drop. But, as they finish their hour of sorrow, God will step forth to punish those that added to their sorrows and failed to rightly divide the truth of His love for them. Isaiah made this very plain. "Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over." (Isaiah 51:22-23)

 

You can see in those last words the very compromise of the Israelis toward the Palestinians occurring right now. Notice the words that sound like those of these deceased Arafat and his followers, "Bow down, that we may go over" and when they do, "and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over." As much as it breaks my heart to say it, their sorrows are not over yet. Woe to the person, the national entity, or the religious crowd that trashes the Jewish people because their sufferings are not yet complete.

 

No one should defend the gross sins in the cities of our world, including Jerusalem. Satan is having a field day spewing his filth on the world's population, and Israel has certainly not escaped. The present moral condition of Jerusalem is totally different than the prophetic plan to make this city the capital of the Israeli state and the whole world during the thousand years of Christ's reign. Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, will occupy the "Throne of David" in this breathtaking city and will rule the world in righteousness. There is indeed going to be a New World Order and Jerusalem will be the center. Believe me, it will not be "wicked, unconverted Jews" that establish the city of Jerusalem and the "true" New World Order after the seven years of wrath. It will be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

 

Writing on prophecy and having a web site which is read by tens of thousands, as well as our prophecy publication, enables me to get a tremendous amount of response from all viewpoints. The large number of anti-Israeli publications, which are written and promoted by people that believe they are representing the Bible, overwhelms me. A man named Ted Pike has produced a video entitled "Why the Mid-East Bleeds?" The ad for this video says it dramatizes several ideas. Let's look at them to see how this vicious approach attacks both Israel and America.

 

They say this video dramatizes:

 

* The Talmudic basis of hate and racism that fuels Zionist aggression

 

* What really happened in the West Bank under Sharon's 2002 invasion

 

* How loss of freedoms under "homeland security" directly results from unconditional support of Israel

 

* How U.S. takeover of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia etc. actually sets up Israel as ruler of the mid-east"

 

The worst publication I have received was entitled The Truth at Last. It was sixteen tabloid pages of distortion that could easily enflame anyone unlearned and susceptible to dark theories. One article was entitled "Palestinian Children Are Being Killed." The article started with these words, "Without massive U.S. foreign aid this occupation would not last another day. The Jews would be forced to withdraw behind the 1967 border as established by the U.N. These are American tanks, helicopters and missiles, which are killing innocent Palestinians daily. We have made enemies out of 300 million Muslims who were once our friends. Our tradition has been as a protector of the oppressed against the oppressors. In this case we are on the wrong side. The picture of Palestinian children, some alive and some dead, all assigned to the alleged butchering by Jewish soldiers is too graphic to describe. The Bible says, "Truth is fallen in the street." (Isaiah 59:14) These words fit perfectly.

 

When Rome Ransacked Jerusalem

 

One article I received said that America has invested three trillion dollars in Israel. Another article in the above publication put the amount at 1.6 trillion dollars. Three trillion dollars ($3,000,000,000,000) would be approximately ten thousand dollars per American citizen (Dr. E. R. Fields). There is no question as to the false facts included in this article, but would not it be wonderful if we had invested this much in the fifty-five years since the Heavenly Father resurrected this nation out of her two thousand year old grave. What we have invested is absolutely part of the reason for our national wealth.

 

Ezekiel, the prophet of God, spoke of this supernatural miracle thousands of years ago by the Holy Ghost. God did not forget what the prophet said, and it has all come to pass in our lifetime. And it is not finished. The Word said, "Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD." (Ezekiel 37:11-14) Those who fight against this supernatural God-ordained revival of ancient Israel are simply fighting God Himself. They have no possible chance of winning.

 

Hatred of Israel: Dark Shadows of the End

 

And the new beginning! God has a further plan and He put it in the Second Covenant of His Holy Book. Yes, Israel, as a nation, was reborn by Divine Sovereignty. Her rebirth is yet in part because there had to be a finishing of Israel's chastisement. Probably this period of Israel's transition from a people dispersed around the world to a national entity has been the hardest for people to understand. There are many among us that believe Israel should already possess all of her land and simply settle down in peace, but that would be totally impossible. Israel is in transition from no nation to the Kingdom of David, ruled by Jesus Christ. God's timetable is the final word, and we were not given how long or exact events along the way.

 

The new beginning for Israel is tied directly to the finishing of the Gentile age of human government. The text we must investigate is Romans chapter eleven; but first let's listen to the Son of God as He sets the time. Luke records His words. "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there into. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." (Luke 21:20-24)

 

This event shows the end of the age of the Gentile government and the beginning of the Lord's kingdom age. The seven years of wrath is visible as He shows the suffering preceding the moment of His glory and the rise of Jerusalem to its time of prominence.

 

Israel's blindness to the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, has lasted over 1,900 years. They failed to recognize His first coming and have suffered untold agony. Apostle Paul was jealous for Israel and carefully defended God's love for them. Yet, he also knew the truth and spoke it plainly. He said, "(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back away. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy." (Romans 11:8-11)

 

They have been jealous against Jesus Christ and His church for all these centuries. But, the apostle did not stop at that point. He further said, "Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?" (Romans 11:12) The church must open her eyes to see that Israel as a nation has been reborn, but her spirit is still blinded. Only a Sovereign God can know the day that a spiritual rebirth for Israel will occur. That's where we have a grave responsibility.

 

They were cast off because of unbelief and we were grafted in. We are sons and daughters of Abraham by faith, but only by the heritage of Jesus Christ. We have no right to set ourselves over them or in their place. Our salvation is by grace and pride is a grace killer. The truth is clear. "Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee." (Romans 11:20-21) The time is quickly approaching when the nation of Israel will be more than a political entity. It will soon be a theocratic kingdom under the rule of the King of Kings.

 

This "deliverer," who is soon to appear, is already in the minds of many Jewish people. His appearance cannot occur until all is ready. The Rapture, the time of wrath, and the Battle of Armageddon must precede the redemption of all Israel. The Apostle Paul set this straight. "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob" (Romans 11:25-26)

 

Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem - Now, We Must Show Mercy to Israel

 

God has so ordained that by the mercy of His covenant saints in the New Testament church, Israel shall obtain mercy and be redeemed. Listen to these heart-thrilling words from this key text of Romans, a letter to the saints. "Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?" (Romans 11:31-34)

 

This is incredible truth. No wonder the devil tries to invade the church with anti-Israel rhetoric. We are now responsible to show mercy to Israel even while they are still enemies of the Gospel. "As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." (Romans 11:28-29)

 

This is God's plan for redeeming His severed olive trees, the people of His own "womb brethren." How matchless is His plan that we, the "wild olive tree," should now after almost 2,000 years be His partner in reclaiming the chosen nation that gave the Son of Man to all the world. I'll tell you right now, "I'm on His team to get ready for the rebirth of spiritual Israel to the family of Jesus Christ."

 

Conclusion

 

Hatred of Israel will reach the crescendo during the seven years of wrath. As we await the Rapture, we will be unconformable witnesses to a continuing rise of this dark shadow. Our duty is to stand tall, never for one moment give our praise or comfort to the hatred of Israel. If you send your money to an Israeli basher, you are as guilty as the basher himself. Be willing to show mercy in action and prayer for the "peace of Jerusalem." Accept the fact that Israel is still in unbelief and that you by mercy and grace toward the Jews are "preparing the way for the Redeemer to appear."

 

Could it be that the Father is even now holding up the Rapture while He awaits the "mercy" of the saints toward the "womb brethren?" It is no wonder that the Bible says, "Ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." (Matthew 25:13) Help prepare the way by showing mercy to Israel.

THE BRILLIANT DR JOHN McTERNAN ON "WORLD WAR THREE - TURKEY WARNS PUTIN NOT TO PLAY WITH FIRE" - AND MANY MORE INSIGHTS FROM THIS FINE MAN OF GOD!!

New post on John McTernan's Insights

WORLD WAR 3: Turkey warns Putin not to ‘play with fire’! by JohnMcTernan                  Verse of the Day Luke 21:9,10 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: Commentary The move toward WW3 is greatly accelerating as the leader of Turkey, Erdogan just told Putin not to "play with fire"! Putin is not going to roll over with Turkey shooting down a Russia plane. The time for WW3 seems very ,very close. Remember, this is going to be a massive war with millions dying and entire nations being destroyed, but it is not Armageddon. This will set the stage for Armageddon but it is not that battle. Please continue to draw near to the Lord and do not lose your focus on the Lord Jesus coming for His bride. You must stay focused or fear could grip you as these events accelerate towards WW3. Now is also the time to be a sold out witness for the Lord Jesus because it is literally now or never. See my posting below about ordering the Prophecy Packet. Make sure that you see the update of how God is using the Prophecy Packet throughout the world! May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you. 1Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Israel and the Middle East War Turkey warns Putin not to 'play with fire' 11/27/15 This is huge beyond measure. Erdogan is right in Putin's face telling him to back down! Yikes! Putin takes this from no one! Erdogan would only say this if Obama, a man-of-sin, was supporting him. This is really mind blowing what is happening. You see, what is happening is Turkey wants to expand into Syria to work with ISIS and other Sunni groups to create a caliphate. Russia is now interfering and blocking this. If one missile is fired by either party, it could literally ignite WW3. It is happening right before our eyes. This could "cool down" but only temporary as Putin is not going to let this go: he can't. Russia is in no position to fight Turkey right now, if we see Russian military movements this might show war is on the way. This is the time to keep focused on the Lord Jesus because the world as we knew it just might change in an instant. Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. "Turkey's president Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned Vladimir Putin not to "play with fire" as their war of words continued to escalate over the downing of a jet. In a speech broadcast live on television, Erdogan added he does not want to harm relations with Moscow and hopes to meet the Russian President at a climate conference in Paris next week, Reuters reported. Putin has refused to contact Erdogan because Ankara does not to apologize for the downing of the Russian warplane, Putin aide Yuri Ushakov told Reuters Friday. "We see Turkey's unwillingness to simply apologize for the incident with the plane," Ushakov told reporters when asked why Putin has refused to talk with Erdogan." Putin imposes sanctions, says country 'fully mobilized' to tackle threats from Turkey 11/28/15 This event needs to be followed very closely as it literally could be the trigger for WW3. Putin is a macho man who is not going to back down and Erdogan wants to reestablish the Ottoman Empire. Two manics going at each other is not good. "In comments which underscore how angry the Kremlin still is over the incident, Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, called the behavior of the Turkish air force "absolute madness" and said Ankara's subsequent handling of the crisis had reminded him of the "theater of the absurd." "Nobody has the right to traitorously shoot down a Russian plane from behind," Peskov told Russia's "News on Saturday" TV program, calling Turkish evidence purporting to show the Russian SU-24 jet had violated Turkish air space "cartoons". Peskov said the crisis had prompted Putin, whose ministers are preparing retaliatory economic measures against Turkey, to "mobilize" in the way an army does in tense times. "The president is mobilized, fully mobilized, mobilized to the extent that circumstances demand," said Peskov. "The circumstances are unprecedented. The gauntlet thrown down to Russia is unprecedented. So naturally the reaction is in line with this threat." 'No country can stand up to Israel Air Force's firepower' 11/26/15 An interesting article that gives you a look at Israel's powerful air force. "At that rate, within a few days, thousands of Hezbollah targets would be in flames, provided that sufficient intelligence exists on that many targets. Targets are marked out before the eruption of hostilities, and the database can grow during the fighting as well. “We want to attack as many targets as possible in as little time as possible. Thousands of targets. In 24 hours, we can send thousands of bombs from Israel, each one weighing a ton,” the officer added." Russia deploys S-400 missile battery in Syria, state media says 11/27/15 This really brings more tension to this situation. Like I said, one more plane shot down could ignite WW3. This is a great article and I learned a ton of information from it: make sure that you read it. "Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had announced Wednesday that the system would be deployed in Latakia, in northwest Syria, in response to Turkey shooting down a Russian warplane the day before. This nigh-impossible speed that would be required to bring in and activate the system in barely 24 hours has prompted some to question whether the S-400 system had been in place well before the Turkish military shot down the Su-24M aircraft, or if it is in place at all. The advanced missile system, completed in 2007, is capable of detecting and destroying aircraft some 400 kilometers (250 miles) away. Its deployment in Latakia will grant Russia aerial control over practically all of Syria, Lebanon and Cyprus, over half of Turkey, parts of Iraq and Jordan — and, of course, Israel: Planes flying in and out of Ben Gurion International Airport — approximately 395 kilometers (245 miles) from Latakia — would be within Russian sights." Take a look at Israel’s impressive economy 11/25/15 This is all part of God's prophetic word because, as the Day of the LORD approaches, Israel is going to be extremely wealthy and this is a hook to draw the nations to Jerusalem for their destruction. Ezekiel 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. (13) Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? "The Israeli economy, despite facing headwinds from a resurgence of terrorism, remains an incredible example of a developed country’s ability to achieve sustained economic growth. Israel’s continued growth is a strong testament to the powerful influence of a market-based, democratic economy and the virtues of a well-educated and disciplined labor market. It is a record built on strong foreign direct investment, an embrace of technology and entrepreneurship, and a capable labor force." Hard Left Longtime Belgian Mayor: A Godfather of Jihad? 11/27/15 This is a great article showing the roots of Islamic jihad in Europe. Belgium is almost totally given over to the Muslims and jihad. The Muslims are rooted into this country as judgment from the Lord. They hate the Jews and Israel, so the Holy God of Israel is giving them a FULL dose of allah and the Muslims. Notice how the Hard Left uses diversity as the cover for Islamic takeover of Europe. These European politicians are direct judgment from the Lord, just as is Obama, for the destruction of the nations for rebellion against the LORD. They despise Him, His word and Israel, so they are getting allah and all the horror that comes with Islam. I marvel at God and His word as we watch the entire European Continent come under the judgment of the Lord. It might take a little time, as with Europe, for God's judgment to manifest, but we clearly see His righteous judgment manifesting over Europe. The question now is just how much time is left for Europe? "Instead of bombing Raqqah, France should be bombing Molenbeek." — Eric Zemmour, French journalist. No one, at least outside Belgium, is talking about Molenbeek's long-time anti-Semitic mayor and the alliance with radical Islamists that secured his power. The majority of the terrorists who have appeared in Europe in recent times originated from a single neighborhood, six square-kilometers in size -- an astounding concentration. "[T]here are more veiled women here in Molenbeek than in Casablanca." — Resident interviewed by investigative reporter Gilles Gaetner. The many shops run by Jews suddenly disappeared in 2008 after harassment and threats by local "youths." How did Mayor Moureaux react? By accusing Belgian Jews of wanting to deny Muslims the "right to diversity." It is supposed to be Israel's fault when the Arabs of Belgium -- and especially those of Molenbeek -- have a bad reputation? This type of anti-Semitic resentment is unfortunately not only typical for Moureaux, but for his entire party." Germany: Salafists on the rapid increase 11/25/15 This is a follow up on my previous post about Islam in Germany. It is about the Sunni Salafists and has real good information about them. If you know nothing about the Salafists, this article will help bring you up to speed. "Salafism is a form of Islam that itself is roughly divided into three groups: Those who don't get involved in politics, those who do, and Jihadist Salafists. All three seek to return the practice of Islam to its original form as delineated by Muhammed 14 centuries ago. They are also all in favor of a global caliphate and sharia (Islamic) law. Clarion notes that Salafists believe that democracy must be eradicated. ISIS (the Islamic State), al-Qaeda and most of the world’s Islamist terror organizations practice Salafist Islam. Earlier this month, a court in Bosnia sentenced a Salafi preacher to seven years in prison for encouraging, organizing and recruiting volunteers for an ISIS group operating in Syria. In Syria, a militant Salafi organization known as Ahrar al-Sham has gained power of late in several regions in the country-at-unrest. Back in Germany, hundreds of thousands of Middle East migrants have arrived in the country – and the Salafists there are reportedly aggressively recruiting among them. “We have in recent weeks increasingly seen attempts by Salafists to register as workers in refugee camps,” the head of Germany’s intelligence services recently said." Germans Opposed to Mass Migration are "Free to Leave" 11/25/15 Merkel is God's instrument of judgment on Germany. He raised her up as His tool to bring huge numbers of Muslims into Germany. She is to Germany what Obama is to America. We are watching, step by step, God's judgment on Europe and nothing seems able to stop it. Germany and Europe are being turned into an Islamic state, while the people are powerless to stop it. Islam is God's judgment on Europe for rejecting the Lord, Jew hating, the wholesale killing of babies, and interfering with God's prophetic plan for Israel. God is sending the Muslims as punishment for the wickedness of these people. The Lord's judgment of Europe has been slow but steady over the last 20 years, but now it is reaching critical mass. Europe can't be saved from Islam without horrific bloodshed. When the war in the Middle East starts with Israel, the Muslims all over Europe will rise up and then the blood will flow. I believe one of the first places the Muslims will go after are the homosexual enclaves. Open homosexuality in Europe is coming to an end, and the homosexuals are going to be in fear of their lives. Europe as we know it is fast ending, and its death is right before our eyes. God is not hiding anything that He is doing to Europe. It is right out in the open for all to see, if you have faith in the word and spiritual eyes to apply it. Galatians 6:7,8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. "After factoring in family reunifications, the actual number of migrants could exceed 10 million, and some believe that Germany's Muslim population is on track to nearly quadruple to an astonishing 20 million by 2020. N24 television news reports that up to 50% of the asylum seekers arriving in Germany have gone into hiding and their whereabouts are unknown by German authorities. "It cannot be that offenders continue to fill the police files, hurt us physically... and there are no consequences. ... We are losing control of the streets." — Tania Kambouri, a German police officer. "We are not excluding anyone, we are just trying to run a business. If we ignore the complaints of our female guests, we have to expect that many of our regular customers will stay away.... Financially, we do not know how long can we cope with this." — Thomas Greil, manager of the discotheque "Brucklyn," Bad Tölz, Bavaria. "We are reproducing faster and faster. You Germans are not getting any children. In the best case you get two children. We make seven to eight children. Okay mate? And then we take four wives each, then we have 22 children. Maybe you Germans have one child and a dog. Huh? And that's it." — Video showing a Muslim threatening a German man openly on the street. In Berlin, lawmakers are considering emergency legislation that would allow local authorities to seize private residences to accommodate asylum seekers. The proposal was kept secret from the public until November 9, when the leader of the Free Democrats (FDP) in Berlin warned the measure would violate the German Constitution. Berlin Mayor Michael Müller now wants to expand the scope for warrantless inspections to include "preventing homelessness." Erdogan praises terror wave as Palestinian 'noble fight' 11/28/15 Erdogan is really bad news and could be the point man to start WW3. He loves ISIS and Hamas and wants to destroy Israel. He really wants the Ottoman Empire back with Turkey at the head of the caliphate. "Amid his diplomatic row with Russia this week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan found time to express support for the latest Palestinian Arab terror wave against Israel.Speaking at a meeting on Wednesday of finance ministers of the Islamic Cooperation Organization, Erdogan expressed his full solidarity with the Palestinian Arab people in their struggle against Israel, including the current “Al-Quds Intifada”, as Hamas calls it, and which has killed 22 Israelis since the beginning of October.Erdogan described the terror wave as a Palestinian "noble fight" in defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy places.He blasted Israel for imposing a “siege” on Gaza, saying that "the Gaza Strip has become an open prison because of the continuing siege and this situation must not continue."It should be noted that Turkey gives full support to Hamas, which is expressed through economic aid delivered through charities, and permits Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades to operate on Turkish territory. Israel has in the past claimed that Hamas officials living in Turkey are responsible for planning terror attacks against Israel."

DANIEL GREENFIELD SAYS THAT "OBAMA WANTS TO DEFEAT AMERICA - NOT ISIS"!!!

Obama Wants to Defeat America, Not ISIS

By Daniel Greenfield

Last year at a NATO summit, Obama explicitly disavowed the idea of containing ISIS. “You can’t contain an organization that is running roughshod through that much territory, causing that much havoc, displacing that many people, killing that many innocents, enslaving that many women,” he said.

Instead he argued, “The goal has to be to dismantle them.”

Just before the Paris massacre, Obama shifted back to containment. “From the start, our goal has been first to contain them, and we have contained them,” he said.

Pay no attention to what he said last year. There’s a new message now. Last year Obama was vowing to destroy ISIS. Now he had settled for containing them. And he couldn’t even manage that.

ISIS has expanded into Libya and Yemen. It struck deep into the heart of Europe as one of its refugee suicide bombers appeared to have targeted the President of France and the Foreign Minister of Germany. That’s the opposite of a terrorist organization that had been successfully contained.

Obama has been playing tactical word games over ISIS all along. He would “degrade and ultimately destroy” ISIS. Or perhaps dismantle the Islamic State. Or maybe just contain it.

Containment is closest to the truth. Obama has no plan for defeating ISIS. Nor is he planning to get one any time soon. There will be talk of multilateral coalitions. Drone strikes will take out key figures. And then when this impressive war theater has died down, ISIS will suddenly pull off another attack.

And everyone will be baffled at how the “defeated” terrorist group is still on the march.

The White House version of reality says that ISIS attacked Paris because it’s losing. Obama also claimed that Putin’s growing strength in Syria is a sign of weakness. Never mind that Putin has all but succeeded in getting countries that were determined to overthrow Assad to agree to let him stay.

Weakness is strength. Strength is weakness.

Obama’s failed wars occupy a space of unreality that most Americans associate with Baghdad Bob bellowing that there are no American soldiers in Iraq. (There are, according to the White House, still no American ground forces in Iraq. Only American forces in firefights on the ground in Iraq.)

There’s nothing new about any of this. Obama doesn’t win wars. He lies about them.

The botched campaign against ISIS is a replay of the disaster in Afghanistan complete with ridiculous rules of engagement, blatant administration lies and no plan for victory. But there can’t be a plan for victory because when Obama gets past the buzzwords, he begins talking about addressing root causes.

And you don’t win wars by addressing root causes. That’s just a euphemism for appeasement.

Addressing root causes means blaming Islamic terrorism on everything from colonialism to global warming. It doesn’t mean defeating it, but finding new ways to blame it on the West.

Obama and his political allies believe that crime can’t be fought with cops and wars can’t be won with soldiers. The only answer lies in addressing the root causes which, after all the prattling about climate change and colonialism, really come down to the Marxist explanation of inequality.

When reporters ask Obama how he plans to win the war, he smirks tiredly at them and launches into another condescending explanation about how the situation is far too complicated for anything as simple as bombs to work. Underneath that explanation is the belief that wars are unwinnable.

Obama knows that Americans won’t accept “war just doesn’t work” as an answer to Islamic terrorism. So he demonstrates to them that wars don’t work by fighting wars that are meant to fail.

In Afghanistan, he bled American soldiers as hard as possible with vicious rules of engagement that favored the Taliban to destroy support for a war that most of the country had formerly backed. By blowing the war, Obama was not only sabotaging the specific implementation of a policy he opposed, but the general idea behind it. His failed wars are meant to teach Americans that war doesn’t work.

The unspoken idea that informs his strategy is that American power is the root cause of the problems in the region. Destroying ISIS would solve nothing. Containing American power is the real answer.

Obama does not have a strategy for defeating ISIS. He has a strategy for defeating America.

Whatever rhetoric he tosses out, his actual strategy is to respond to public pressure by doing the least he can possibly do. He will carry out drone strikes, not because they’re effective, but because they inflict the fewest casualties on the enemy.

He may try to contain the enemy, not because he cares about ISIS, but because he wants to prevent Americans from “overreacting” and demanding harsher measures against the Islamic State. Instead of fighting to win wars, he seeks to deescalate them. If public pressure forces him to go beyond drones, he will authorize the fewest air strikes possible. If he is forced to send in ground troops, he will see to it that they have the least protection and the greatest vulnerability to ISIS attacks.

Just like in Afghanistan.

Obama would like ISIS to go away. Not because they engage in the ethnic cleansing, mass murder and mass rape of non-Muslims, but because they wake the sleeping giant of the United States.

And so his idea of war is fighting an informational conflict against Americans. When Muslim terrorists commit an atrocity so horrifying that public pressure forces him to respond, he lies to Americans. Each time his Baghdad Bob act is shattered by another Islamic terrorist attack, he piles on even more lies.

Any strategy that Obama offers against ISIS will consist of more of the same lies and word games. His apologists will now debate the meaning of “containment” and whether he succeeded in defining it so narrowly on his own terms that he can claim to have accomplished it. But it really doesn’t matter what his meaning of “containment” or “is” is. Failure by any other name smells just as terrible.

Obama responded to ISIS by denying it’s a threat. Once that stopped being a viable strategy, he began to stall for time. And he’s still stalling for time, not to beat ISIS, but to wait until ISIS falls out of the headlines. That has been his approach to all his scandals from ObamaCare to the IRS to the VA.

Lie like crazy and wait for people to forget about it and turn their attention to something else.

This is a containment strategy, but not for ISIS. It’s a containment strategy for America. Obama isn’t trying to bottle up ISIS except as a means of bottling up America. He doesn’t see the Caliph of the Islamic State as the real threat, but the average American who watches the latest beheading on the news and wonders why his government doesn’t do something about it. To the left it isn’t the Caliph of ISIS who starts the wars we ought to worry about, but Joe in Tennessee, Bill in California or Pete in Minnesota.

That is why Obama sounds bored when talking about beating ISIS, but heats up when the conversation turns to fighting Republicans. It’s why Hillary Clinton named Republicans, not ISIS, as her enemy.

The left is not interested in making war on ISIS. It is too busy making war on America.

AFTER MANY "HITS" FOR PART ONE, HERE IS THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF "DEVIOUS DOCTRINES OF DIABOLIC DECEPTION" BY THE INSPIRATIONAL GENE LAWLEY FROM "RAPTURE READY"!!

Devious Doctrines of Diabolic Deception - Part 2 - By Gene Lawley -

http://www.raptureready.com/featured/lawley/lawley98.html

Several years ago I heard a Baptist pastor, who had ministered in the Salt Lake region as a church pastor describe the Mormon religion as Satan's greatest counterfeit. And as I have indicated in the first part on this topic, he had justifiable reason for that identification.

However, Joseph Smith only showed up in the early 1800s, and Satan would not have held back his deceptions for so many centuries just for that so-called "latter-day revelation" of God's failure to initiate a workable plan of salvation for mankind in the beginning.

Like that garden plot you spent so much time getting ready for the spring planting, the first thing that shows up are those devilish weeds that are trying to choke out anything desirable and worthwhile. 

In that Matthew 16 passage where Jesus declared the beginning of His Church we find the beginning, also, of a parallel religious body that springs out of a humanistic foundation based on Peter, the pebble or stone (petras), and not the Rock or boulder (petra) of the deity of Jesus Christ as identified to Peter by the Spirit of God. Here is that passage:

 "He said to them,   'But who do you say that I am?'

 Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

 "Jesus answered and said to him,   'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed  this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.   And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven'" (Matthew 16:15-19).

It is interesting that the Holy Spirit led Matthew to precede this context with Jesus warning the disciples to beware of the "leaven" of the  Pharisees and Sadducees, meaning their doctrine, which basically was the binding legalism of the law. That is, the human efforts, the performance of "flesh and blood" instead of faith as the means of pleasing God.  

Then He shows that His deity cannot be known by human effort but only by revelation from God. That distinction is then made between the Rock of His true identification and Peter, a mere human of flesh and blood limitations. Yet, He puts in this mere human the keys to the kingdom of heaven and certain authority along with it. The meaning of this authority deserves a more lengthy discussion at a later time, and I will deal with it again in Part 3 of this series.

Before discussing my observations of doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church and their comparison with the Scriptures, I must say clearly that there are many, many beautiful and wonderful people in the Catholic Church.

The deceptions they are exposed to come from a higher spiritual order, from Satan himself. I mean no harm, no offense to innocent believers in that arena, but my intent is to highlight the Scriptures in comparison with that church's doctrines and traditions that are claimed as equal to the Word of God.

I must also add that I am a layman, not a theologian, and one who is on the outside, looking into an organization that is centuries old. But, I might add, the Scriptures are even older, and I, as an outsider, can make an objective comparison and analysis of the issues.

Shortly after the Matthew 16 conversations about the identity of Jesus and the establishment of His church, He began to teach the disciples that He was going to Jerusalem where He would be killed and would rise again the third day. Peter did not like that idea and told Him so. Here is that passage:

 "From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

 "Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, 'Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!'

 "But He turned and said to Peter, 'Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men'" (Matthew 16:21-23).

When man injects his "flesh and blood" opinions and ideas into God's plans and methods, God sees them as directly from Satan. And here, He says so, even as He looked into the face of Peter!

So when Jesus established His Church on the foundation of His deity, Satan also established his greatest counterfeit, based on the man, Peter. But the apostle Peter was not a party to it. The Roman Catholic Church apparently had no specific beginning date unless it began as the church at Rome, to which Paul wrote his epistle about the year A.D. 58.

If that entity was the roots of the later organization, then it became the Roman Catholic Church about A.D. 310 when Constantine incorporated it into the Roman government as its State Church. He allegedly had the Pope "baptize" the soldiers as they rode out to war by sprinkling them with a leafy branch as they rode under it. 

When I walk into a Catholic Church, I see two things that are most prominent. One is a statue of a woman holding a baby, and the other is a cross with a figure of a person hanging in death upon it. It just recently came clear to me the subtle message thus presented: Both are silent witnesses of the dominance of mankind over deity, the deity of the son of God. 

Satan has always wanted to display dominance over God in every way that he can-by displaying Jesus, the Christ child, in the care of a physical being, and Jesus, the man, dead at the hands of mankind. But God knows Satan's time is coming, soon!

Some of the false doctrines and practices of the Roman Church and Scriptures to the contrary:

 1. Worship of Mary as Co-redeemer and Deity. In Luke 1:38, after the angel had told Mary of God's plan for her to bear the Holy One, she said,   "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And in her song of joy, beginning at Luke 1:46, she exclaims this: "My soul magnifies the Lord,  and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." (Mary also needed a savior.)

 2. The perpetuity of Mary's virginity. That is, she had no other children. Mark 3:32, however, says this: "And a multitude was sitting around Him,  and they said to Him, 'Look,  Your  mother and Your  brothers are outside seeking You.'" Those who deny this to be a family seeking Him, say they were His "brothers in faith." 

However, they were distinguished from the multitude around Him. The clincher, though, is the apostle Paul, who called James "the Lord's brother" in Galatians 1:19, where Paul also identified James as an apostle: "But I saw none  of  the other apostles except James,  the Lord's brother."

 3. The doctrine of transubstantiation. This was invented by Augustine (A.D. 354-430), who also was the early proponent of the worship of Mary and her continual virginity. The practice maintains that in Communion (the Mass), the wafer mysteriously turns into the actual body of Christ and the wine into His blood, thus solving the problem found in John 6:54 where Jesus says, "Whoever  eats My flesh  and drinks My  blood has eternal life,  and I will raise him up at the last day." 

This statement, for the Catholics, is the basis for the belief that if the wafer and the drink are not taken regularly, the member loses his salvation. Jesus expands on it in the context, and in John 6:63, He says this: "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and  they are life."

 By this clarification from the Lord, Himself, even if the wafer and drink did become the flesh and blood of Christ, it would not transfer any spiritual benefit to the partaker (i.e. "the flesh profits nothing"). The only truly spiritual thing we have, which is also physical, is the inspired Word of God, the living Word. Augustine again injected "flesh and blood" into God's business and produced a corrupted and false doctrine.

 4. Salvation is accomplished by baptism (sprinkled) and joining the Catholic Church, and maintained by regularly partaking of the communion sacrament described above. They maintain that baptism in the church is essential for eternal life. However, for example, when the Philippian jailer cried out, "What must I do to be saved?," 

 Paul answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..." (Acts 16:31). He and his family, who also believed, and so, they were baptized. Many other verses and passages make no mention of baptism when discussing the way of salvation. (See John 5:24, John 6:37-38, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, and 1 John 5:11-13.)  

5. Purgatory, the doctrine of "half-way house" purging of sins before getting to heaven. Payments to priests for prayers to speed up the purging process have brought millions into the church over the centuries. 

However, the sins of true believers have already been purged by the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, followed by His resurrection. This doctrine negates the truth of that one sacrifice. For the unsaved person, Hebrews 9:27 tells us, "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment...." No stopping off place there at all! There is a judgment for the believer, but it is not regarding salvation. See 2 Corinthians 5:10 and 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.  

 Also, in the account of the rich man and Lazarus, in Luke 16:19-31, Jesus said there was a "certain" rich man and a "certain" beggar (named Lazarus), indicating real people. The rich man died and went directly to a place of torment without hope of deliverance, while the beggar, being pictured as with favor from God, went to the Paradise of "Abraham's bosom." No "half-way houses" here, either!

 Remember that the Roman Catholic Church is founded on Peter, the pebble, not Jesus Christ-the Rock, or boulder of truth that "favors the things of God and does not favor the things of men," as Matthew 16:23 tells us.

 There are more "devious doctrines" to uncover in this list as well as in other man-made religious practices, and we will continue the process in Part 3.
