Realigned Apostacy



Many involved in Biblical Prophecy journalism could not refuse the hot topic of late. During the G20 meetings and Barack Obama's New World Order tour last week, He bowed to the
King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud. Obama's administration immediately dismissed this obvious gesture as "He was being courteous because the King is shorter."

If the Ayatollah is like the Pope in the Muslim world, King Abdullah is like the Arch-Bishop. They can say whatever, to explain this away, and many ignorant people and Obama 'cult' followers will believe it. The truth is, it came from Obama's heart. It is obviously a bow, with a genuflect added in. To Obama, this was probably the greatest moment, so far, of being the President. It will only be topped when he visits Iran, and goes all the way to the floor in front of the Ayatollah.

Many Christians call this an apostasy. Obama an apostate? That is what called me to jump on the proverbial wagon and join the thousands writing about this. So many think Obama really thought he was a Christian at one time, and is falling away. A 'drunk with power' sort of syndrome. Why are so many fooled by this man? He has never been a Christian for one second of his sorry life. Not to mention, his slashing the dignity of the Presidency.

I don't disparage when I say the Muslim faith is corrupt and divisive. The same thing Obama accused America of, during his speech in Turkey last week. I am not speaking off the cuff. I have had first hand experience and knowledge of that which I speak. Let me start by giving you a little background on how the Muslim faith, or the Koran, got started. Loosely based on the Old Testament, they believe Jesus was a prophet, but, mostly incorrect. Their big prophet, Mohamed, was a drunk, and an illiterate. He was working as a hand on a camel train in the desert when he met a well-to-do widow, and married her. He didn't work anymore, so he took up drinking more.

One day, in a drunken stupor, Mohamed began babbling unintelligible words. His buddies thought it was some sort of spiritual conjuring, and as the word spread, it also grew. Scribes were called, as Mohamed loved the attention, and he babbled on a regular basis. They were convinced he was speaking in tongues, and they were able to translate. Sound Holy?

This is why the Muslims get so mad when they hear of cartoons or ill words against their wholly man (I spelled it right). They know he was a clown, and as a defense to keep their people ignorant, they fight any criticism to the death. The religion is based on lies and hate. This is a simple fact, but, when described as such, the liberals wig out, as it is not politically correct to categorize it as such. It makes them feel like our religion is better than theirs. It is better... it's the only true God. There is no other.

Another myth about the Muslim religion, is they are basically loving peaceful people, it is just the radicals who believe in killing. That nonsense only comes from ignorance, or liars. Death to infidels is their belief, not the doctrine of a few. The Koran teaches all non believers which cannot be converted, should be eliminated. In fact, all infidels are supposed to be eliminated before the mufti (their equivalent to Jesus) can return. This is why Mahmud Ahmahnuhttjhob, President of Iran, is so dangerous. He believes that he can hurry the return of the mufti by initiating WWIII.Then, the world can be cleansed of all infidels.

Barack Hussein Obama, aka, Berry Soetero was first enrolled in a Kenya school at the age of 7. It is widely believed, with vast evidence, he was born in Kenya, which makes him ineligible to be President. In any event, it is listed on records to enter school his religion is Islam. This had to be listed, as he was entering a Catholic based facility, and it is illegal to attempt any conversion.

Circled is Barack in school in Indonesia, where he was claimed as citizenship. Indonesia does not acknowledge dual citizenship, and it would not be legal to run for President. Barack has always claimed he never lived in Kenya and was never Muslim. Whenever evidence and proof has been introduced, Barack starts crying they are lying, picking on him, "Because he doesn't look like all the other Presidents on the dollar bills". In the Muslim faith, it is fine to lie, and take advantage of other people. If they get away with it, even if it hurts the other person, especially an infidel, it was their time to be blessed by Allah, and the victims time to be educated. Completely opposite of the Christian teaching of loving and helping even your enemy.

Barack has made several public statements, condescending of the Christian faith. He does not like Christians. He does not like America or our Constitution. His agenda for America is to lead us into the New World Order, as was the Bush's, and the Clintons. The elitists in this country are led only by greed and power. They have no love for our founding fathers way of government to ensure the elimination of tyranny. The way to achieve the global plan is to eliminate our values as Christians, and Patriots. When anyone speaks out against Barack, or his ridiculous plans supposedly meant to cure the economy, a pack of liberal politicians and Hollywood celebrities hit the mainstream media repeating the same rhetoric talking points over and over.
*
Biblically, Barack cannot be the Antichrist, but, he is so evil it makes many wonder. If he is shot and pronounced dead, then comes back to life, I will be astounded for two reasons: 1.) everybody was wrong in regards to logistics in the Bible's interpretation of where the Antichrist originates; and 2.) It means I missed the rapture. Even though all this is written, and nothing can stop Bible prophecy, we are all expected to fight for our country, which has been blessed until now.
*
As more and more states go against the popular vote and bow to the few in order to allow gay marriage, we won't remain blessed. As we take more steps to eliminate God from society, we will more lose our blessing. As we accept the ugly nature of Hollywood and the revolution against Christians and Israel grows and we continue to kill babies, our blessings are all but gone. This is not the same christian based country that God blessed us with two and a half centuries ago. I cannot believe the rapid succession of events in the past few years to fulfill prophecy.
*
The Obama apostacy, technically, is when he fell away from his Muslim faith in order to pose as a Christian. Unfortunately, for America, by the Muslim faith, this charade is fine, as the end justifies the means.

Running From The Rapture: $$$$$$


God himself is my running mate. We had a frank discussion and he agreed to live by my rules. He should be good for a few votes. At the first sign of any inappropriate hijinks (typhoons, plagues, clergy sex scandals) he'll be gone.

*
The plague of blasphemy is spiralling out of control. Most of us Christians are aware of that. Unfortunately, an increasing number of believers are falling away from Biblical truth. The culprits vary; from heathens trying to make a buck on any new angle they know will attract the convicted away from their conscience, to leaders attempting to increase, or keep, their church numbers. For whatever reason, it is all Satan's grand design... to build his army of heathen followers for the Tribulation.
*
The newest revolution building against the integrity of God's Word, is not very new, but, growing at an astonishing rate. I was unaware just how far the reach of certain individuals pushing their new religion had extended. I had chalked it up to nothing more than babel to sell a few books. I thought certainly no real Christian would fall for this rhetoric and they would fade away from the public realm. Not so. I recently was led to a website which glorifies the ramblings of the apostate which appears to be in the forefront of this new Oprah type religion. It's the post Tribulation rapture believers.
*
His name is Dave MacPherson. Many will recognize the name from the dozen or so books which attack the whole idea of the pre-Tribulation rapture. I will not name one of them, it is not worth it to draw attention to the heresy. I will say that each and every book is the same material with a few changed up words and phrases. He goes on and on, assaulting a list of Theologians and dedicated men of God. He calls them heretics and scammers, as they teach and write of the rapture.
*
MacPherson does not rely on a lot of scripture on his page to make his case, as he knows if he showed what a kook he was there, it would not sell a book. He has a link back to the web site which promotes several of his articles and claims to be "powered by Christ", in an effort to enlighten misled Christians. I was troubled by his statement of faith page, however, as it made no mention of his view on the rapture. I was tickled when I observed the most ironic thing at the bottom of his page. A link and support statement devoted to Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron (Left Behind Movies).
*
MacPherson's books targets some of the most respected names in Bible Prophecy, such as:
  1. Chuck Missler, Koinonia House Online

  2. Todd Strandberg, Rapture Ready

  3. Dr. David Reagen, Lamb and Lion Ministries



  4. David Jeremiah, Turning Point

There were more, much more, but, this is enough to get started. From here I wound up at a blog posted by a Roger Armstrong. Here, Mr Armstrong states he attended an end times conference, where three pastors pointed out passages from the Bible regarding the rapture. Armstrong rambles with various passages he uses to show there is no pre-Trib rapture, but, that we are raised up at the end of the Tribulation.

Armstrong uses John 6:39, 40, 44, and 54 to say that Jesus mentions 4 times we will be raised up on the last day. This is true, but not the way Mr Armstrong was hoping in his ramble. Jesus referred to himself first, as He was raised after His last day, on earth. His dying to this world. He was not revealing end time prophecy, he was explaining we will be with the Father, just as he would be with the Father, when we die.

Armstrong then goes on to use Paul's letters to the Thessalonians. This is what most post-Trib believers rely on. In Paul's first letter, he tells the Thessalonians the coming of he Lord is at hand. When Paul found out they had quit working and expected Jesus to return any second, he scrambled to get off the next letter when he was in Corinth. Paul was troubled that they misunderstood, and wanted to assure them certain signs first had to be fulfilled. He explained that when those days come we are with the Lord and the evil one will be revealed. There was never expressed proof, one way or another, of Paul stipulating a timeline or sequence of events.

Jesus does not even know when He will return. If we knew our rapture was at the end of the seven year reign of the Antichrist, would we not have one up on Jesus? Is God playing us for favorites? Instead, It is told over and over, He will come like a thief in the night. Two will be in the field, one will be taken, and one left behind. If it is the final judgement day and all hell is breaking lose on earth, why oh why would people be working in a field? Why would one be left. Is there another shuttle coming for the second one?

When Jesus returns, He will not walk among us and see how we feel about life. The Heavens will open and all His enemies will be crushed and that will be the end of the world as the heathens knew it. Now, we will RETURN, with the Lord forever, in a new earth. Why would we return to reign on the new earth unless we were already gone? The Lord does not want us to know of when he will take His elected to be with Him until we RETURN after the great judgement. He wants that we are always ready.

The very last paragraph of Armstrong's babbling article states he knows when our Lord is returning. Yep! That pretty much killed his argument. But, I still was fascinated what compels these people to believe we are already in a Tribulation. I know, with some it is to sell their wares on skeptic or unknowing victims. Then I found Mr Armstrong's attack on the Left Behind movie, which he seems to hold Kirk Cameron personally responsible.

I will recite his ridiculous message, exact, so you can determine...

.__"Left Behind" Lets take a hypothetical situation
where the pre-trib rapture happens and we are on the "Glory
train" going to heaven. Most of us will have loved ones that are
"left behind", and assuming they survived the mass killing that
takes place at the pre-trib rapture, (cars and planes crashing, etc.) are we really going to be happy, while family and friends are in these dark times facing the anti Christ? And facing him with limited knowledge of end time events, and fall for his deception and be forever lost, when instead we could be there guiding them, doing what the church was built for.

Yes, Mr Armstrong, that exactly what it means. and that is why instead of wasting time luring people in the wrong direction... go get them saved; convince them of the need to be prepared, or, what makes you think you will be leaving them behind? If I were you, I would pray my pilot is a heathen, also. It is agreed, there is no definite proof in the Bible pointing to either a pre-trib or a post-trib rapture. There are even some whom believe in a mid-trib rapture. I will rely on what I know, and what so many Theologians and Biblical scholars rely on.

Rev 3:10, Because you have kept my Word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole earth.
