Yesterday's Prophecies - Today's Headlines

Vulnerability is becoming more commonplace in our lives with each passing day. The looming recession, the strange microbes and viruses we're hearing about on the news, the mad dictators testing their hydrogen bombs and long-range missiles, the constant terrorist threats, the specter of war in the Middle East, and politics, and more politics! All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. With so many end times Bible prophecies on the brink of fulfillment, the events that are occurring now on a daily basis can only lead us to conclude that the end of this age approaches rapidly.​

"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, pestilences and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrow."​

Why Threaten North Korea and China? Would Obama Start a War to Stay in Office?​

Throughout American history, presidents have always had emergency powers, but since 9/11 these powers have been greatly enhanced. Given the right circumstances, a U.S. president could now essentially declare himself (or herself) a dictator for the duration of the crisis. Of course the word "dictator" would never actually be used, but that would be the reality of the situation.
And if we had a "national emergency" that was bad enough, Barack Obama would have the authority to postpone or suspend the upcoming election.



Is Barack Obama trying to start a war, and will that war be used as an excuse to stay in office once his term is over? Late in his second term, Obama is starting to become extremely aggressive with the rest of the world. He just angered China by sailing an aircraft carrier task force past disputed islands in the South China Sea, he is provoking North Korea by simulating an invasion of that nation during a military exercise that is going to involve more than 300,000 troops, and he is backing Saudi Arabia and Turkey as they make moves that could very well start World War III in the Middle East. If a war did begin, that could give Obama the excuse that he needs to exercise his emergency powers, and that could potentially include suspending the election that is scheduled for November.

I know that all of this sounds a little bizarre, but it would help to explain Obama's extremely aggressive behavior lately.

For example, why is the U.S. military risking a major incident on the Korean peninsula?

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un is about as paranoid as they come, and he is extremely alarmed by the massive military exercise that is about to begin in South Korea. More than 300,000 troops are gathering for what is being billed as the biggest military exercise in the history of that nation.

Reportedly, U.S. and South Korean forces plan to simulate an invasion of North Korea and practice the elimination of North Korea's weapons of mass destruction.

In response to these "exercises", Kim Jong Un has placed his nuclear weapons on standby for "use at any moment", and he is warning that North Korea may launch a "preemptive and offensive nuclear strike"...


North Korea warned it would make a "preemptive and offensive nuclear strike" in response to joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises that began Monday.

The news was announced in a statement by the National Defense Commission of North Korea and published in the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

"As the joint military exercises to be staged by the enemies are regarded as the most undisguised nuclear war drills aimed to infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, its military counteraction will be more preemptive and offensive nuclear strike to cope with them," the statement read.

I don't care how crazy someone is - if they have nuclear weapons and they threaten to hit the United States with a preemptive nuclear strike, I am going to get alarmed.

Remember, North Korea did claim to successfully test a hydrogen bomb in January, and the North Koreans did successfully launch a satellite into orbit in February.

The North Koreans absolutely hate us. In fact, hatred for the United States is one of the pillars of their society. I know that may sound strange to many Americans, but it is true. If you can believe it, each year they actually have an entire month during which hatred for America is celebrated.

Tensions on the Korean peninsula are running extremely high, and a single hydrogen bomb could potentially kill millions of people.

So why risk an incident?

Why provoke North Korea more than necessary?

Meanwhile, the Obama administration has been provoking China in the South China Sea.

Yes, it is a problem that China has seized control of several important islands in the Spratly and Paracel island chains. But there are other ways to handle this crisis rather than trying to show how tough you are.

Last month, China deployed surface-to-air missile systems on the disputed islands. Obama's response was to sail an aircraft carrier task force past the islands to see if China would start shooting at it. The following comes from an article about this incident that was posted by the Navy Times...

The U.S. Navy has dispatched a small armada to the South China Sea.

The carrier John C. Stennis, two destroyers, two cruisers and the 7th Fleet flagship have sailed into the disputed waters in recent days, according to military officials. The carrier strike group is the latest show of force in the tense region, with the U.S. asserting that China is militarizing the region to guard its excessive territorial claims.

Stennis is joined in the region by the cruisers Antietam and Mobile Bay, and the destroyers Chung-Hoon and Stockdale. The command ship Blue Ridge, the floating headquarters of the Japan-based 7th Fleet, is also in the area, en route to a port visit in the Philippines. Stennis deployed from Washington state on Jan. 15.

Do we really want to go to war with China over these islands?

The first time we sailed a military vessel through those waters after China had claimed those islands, a Chinese state-run newspaper boldly declared that China "is not frightened to fight a war with the U.S. in the region".

Most Americans don't realize this, but our relationship with China is rapidly going downhill. There is more to this than just the South China Sea, but without a doubt this is a major point of contention as far as the Chinese government is concerned.

At the same time, we keep getting closer to World War III erupting in the Middle East. Last month, defense ministers from 49 different nations met in Brussels to discuss a ground invasion of Syria, and since that time forces have been massing in northern Saudi Arabia and southern Turkey.

If a ground invasion of Syria does take place, the goal would be to go to Damascus and take down the Assad regime. That would put "coalition forces" in direct conflict with Iran, Hezbollah and most importantly the Russians. It could very easily be the spark that sets off World War III, but Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies will never go ahead without the direct approval of the Obama administration.

Barack Obama does not need all of these flashpoints to erupt in order to evoke his emergency powers.

He just needs one of them.

Throughout American history, presidents have always had emergency powers, but since 9/11 these powers have been greatly enhanced. Given the right circumstances, a U.S. president could now essentially declare himself (or herself) a dictator for the duration of the crisis.

Of course the word "dictator" would never actually be used, but that would be the reality of the situation.

And if we had a "national emergency" that was bad enough, Barack Obama would have the authority to postpone or suspend the upcoming election.

Let us hope and pray that does not happen, but the truth is that such a scenario could actually take place. Hopefully what we are witnessing around the globe right now are not attempts by Obama to artificially manufacture such a crisis. Let us hope and pray that when his time is up that Obama is ready to gracefully move into retirement.

This same issue was brought up during George Bush's presidency. It was simply fear mongering by liberals. Nothing came of it. We had our elections, did we not? A new President was sworn in. We carried on.

Is Barack Obama trying to start a war, and will that war be used as an excuse to stay in office once his term is over? Late in his second term, Obama is starting to become extremely aggressive with the rest of the world. He just angered China by sailing an aircraft carrier task force past disputed islands in the South China Sea, he is provoking North Korea by simulating an invasion of that nation during a military exercise that is going to involve more than 300,000 troops, and he is backing Saudi Arabia and Turkey as they make moves that could very well start World War III in the Middle East. If a war did begin, that could give Obama the excuse that he needs to exercise his emergency powers, and that could potentially include suspending the election that is scheduled for November.

We have these military exercises every year, and every year it irritates certain countries. They whine and complain, sometimes buzz the area, do a little muscle-flexing, then go pout in the corner. It's nothing new.

. . .
I don't care how crazy someone is - if they have nuclear weapons and they threaten to hit the United States with a preemptive nuclear strike, I am going to get alarmed.

Remember, North Korea did claim to successfully test a hydrogen bomb in January, and the North Koreans did successfully launch a satellite into orbit in February.

Our Navy could easily shoot down whatever N. Korea launches.

The North Koreans absolutely hate us. In fact, hatred for the United States is one of the pillars of their society. I know that may sound strange to many Americans, but it is true. If you can believe it, each year they actually have an entire month during which hatred for America is celebrated.

Not all of them. Especially not the ones who risk their lives to escape N. Korea.

Riding the Waves of Chaos ​

Almost a decade ago an obscure politician came on the scene. Many were intrigued with his "hope and change" offer. Millions bought into it.

Others wondered why America had to be changed.

I was troubled by his associations. How could someone who hung out with America-haters actually be good for America?

Once elected, it seemed that whatever Barack Obama set his hand to suffered -- at home and abroad. He appeared to favor Islam, hate Israel, and love tyrants.

The ultimate insanity -- and betrayal -- was his push to allow the world's primary sponsor of terror -- Iran -- to have nuclear power. There has never been an "evil empire" quite like Iran -- and one that swears daily to wipe out Israel and America. Yet this U.S. President convinced many world leaders that it was the better part of wisdom to let Iran have the capability to blow up the world. What strong delusion!

Before Barack Obama, the Mideast was relatively stable. Muammar Gaddafi and Hosni Mubarak were not lovers of freedom but they kept a lid on the mayhem in the Mideast and North Africa. But Mr. Obama overturned it all and de-stabilized an entire region when he backed and encouraged the Muslim Brotherhood and the Arab Spring of 2011. He even welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood into his own administration. The turmoil in the Mideast then set the stage for ISIS which has resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent Christians.

Israel has become the nation forsaken and stands in jeopardy. ISIS is bearing down on her. Iran promises to rain down nukes on her. Hamas and Hezbollah threaten regional wars.

But could Barack Obama come about through the hidden Hand of God? Much of this had to happen. Global destabilization was needed to herald a cry for global government. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Is this mysterious man with a checkered past just paving the way for the real "man with a plan" known as the Antichrist?

No one could have imagined the turn of events these last seven years a decade ago. The world has never been a safe place, but today the globe is reeling and it seems to stem from the loss of White House leadership.

But how could the Antichrist ride into power when times would be good? He has to ride the waves of chaos.

No, I do not believe Barack Hussein Obama is the Antichrist. He may be a type or a forerunner but I do not believe he is the real deal. I believe the real "Mr. Fix-It" comes out of the old Roman Empire.

This new year promises to be even more chaotic than previous years. The tide of turmoil is set for nearly every nation. Europe is imploding thanks to "refugees" they never would have had if we had leadership in the U.S. White House. An economic house of cards is set to fall like dominoes as well.

The world is leaderless. Chaos rules. The stage gets more set every day. Tyrants are threatening destruction on every continent.

Even the most seasoned newsmen who have "seen it all" are in awe of world developments in recent years. All of them realize that something unique in the history of the world is happening today.

What's most stunning about it all is the breathtaking rapidity of these recent developments. It seems we are now seeing change happen faster than ever before. What once took years, now happens in days. What once took days, now happens in minutes. Those of us watching the news simply cannot keep up.

I believe the Antichrist and False Prophet are waiting in the wings. We are not privileged to know the names of these characters ahead of time though some who are alive today fit the descriptions in the Bible.

But the biggest contributor to the end-of-days scenario is Barack Obama. Like him or hate him, he is an apocalyptic character.

Our world today is rapidly assuming, on a global scale, the characteristics of that which will morph into Armageddon. We had to have the Iranian nuke deal to set that stage.

All that needs to happen next is a good crisis, and I am sure a crisis awaits. It could be financial or even an American election that goes very wrong.

In the rather benign 1950s, there was already a longing for a miracle worker. NATO's Paul Henri Spaak said in 1957, "We want a man of sufficient stature to hold the alliance of all people and lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we will receive him."

The only thing XD has ever been even close to being correct about is that the IQ of the population Left Behind will increase exponentially, however, it will be in their knowledge and acceptance of Jesus as their Lord & Savior. The big question is...Are you really willing to gamble on the odds that you will live long enough to get a second chance?

Who are the Tribulation Saints?​

Revelation 7:9 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Revelation 7:13-14 "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Pascal's Wager yet again!

Well Ringo, here is a different twist on it.

What if god is real, just not your god, and every-time you pray, go to church, preach, read your bible, post scripture on forums, you are really pissing him off and he/she/it has some unpleasant surprises when you die?

But you dismiss this, just like I dismiss your version, and I also understand that is probably beyond your comprehension.

 

[Oldgrunt]

Jude 1:3 exhorts us to "earnestly contend for the faith." And "if" God is real, as in your question to Ringo, won't that indicate that you will be in torment from your cursings and reviling of Him?

 

[XD40scinNC]

Jude 1:3 exhorts us to "earnestly contend for the faith." And "if" God is real, as in your question to Ringo, won't that indicate that you will be in torment from your cursings and reviling of Him?

I don't curse fictional characters, but some of his followers cause me a lot of angst.

But I have accurately described him as a murdering bastard, even if only in fiction, and after 2 million documented deaths in your unquestionable bible, at his hand or command, how do you not?

 

[Oldgrunt]

Now, isn't that an example of a red herring? You started the subject one way but diverted it when your argument was turned around to indicate less than desired results for you. Also, in your argument and the response, you would not be cursing a fictional character, He has to be real to pose your problem.

The problems are the followers that "think" he is exists.

You think he is real,
Your bible credits him for millions of murders
You say your bible is infallible
You think he is wonderful

And while not real, it still presents a real problem.... and seriously twisted.

Yesterday's Prophecies - Today's Headlines

Vulnerability is becoming more commonplace in our lives with each passing day. The looming recession, the strange microbes and viruses we're hearing about on the news, the mad dictators testing their hydrogen bombs and long-range missiles, the constant terrorist threats, the specter of war in the Middle East, and politics, and more politics! All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. With so many end times Bible prophecies on the brink of fulfillment, the events that are occurring now on a daily basis can only lead us to conclude that the end of this age approaches rapidly.

"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, pestilences and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrow."​

The problems are the followers that "think" he is exists.

You think he is real,
Your bible credits him for millions of murders
You say your bible is unfathomable
You think he is wonderful

And while not real, it still presents a real problem.... and seriously twisted.

XD: You can deny Him all you want but the Bible and history have proven you to be wrong. Maybe you should read a little of both.
