Who is God Preparing To Come Against the U.S.?

As I am reading/studying in the Old Testament, I am finishing up the Book of 2 Kings. I marvel at the history of the Israelites as they go from one wicked king to another; and despite the many warnings and punishments from God, the nation as a whole did not repent from their wicked and evil ways.  Their hearts were hardened against the commandments and laws of God.  This was the ancient past, but I can't help but compare their history to our current present state of affairs. The United States has been one the most blessed nations in the world. "One Nation Under God" has been our motto since our nation's inception, but when you look at the country today, this is no longer a nation "under God".  This nation has committed the exact same sins that the Hebrews committed so many years ago for which God utterly destroyed them.
How does the U.S. compare to the Israelites?  There are three main areas in which the U.S. is guilty and I believe that the United States does not have not much time before God's mercy ends and His righteous judgement begins.

Number 1: "And also because of the innocent blood that he shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, with the Lord would not pardon." 2 Kings 24:4

According to the Guttmatcher Institute since the legalization of abortions in 1973:

Number 2: "And there were also homosexuals and prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel." 1 Kings 14:24


 No other area like sexual sin is the word of God so twisted to support any wicked and detestable lifestyle. Sex sells is a common advertising slogan. Pornography both child and adult is a billion dollar industry.  Homosexual 'priests' & 'pastors', child molesters, pedophiles, homosexuals, bisexual, lesbians, individuals using social media technology for hooking up for quickie one night stands; it seems almost daily there is a news report of some teacher being arrested for inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor.  The Bible is crystal clear on what God thinks about any kind of sex outside a adult male and female relationship.  ALL other forms of sex are an abomination.

Number 3: "Then He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations they are doing there. So I went in and saw, and there-every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around the walls...Then He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, "The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land ." Ezekiel 8:9-12

The number one idols today are not an asherah poles or carven/graven images of animals/creatures, no the most common idol today is man. An article in the New Age publication Science of Mind states, “The significance of incarnation and resurrection is not that Jesus was a human like us but rather that we are gods like him—or at least have the potential to be." No where is this more apparent than in the entertainment business. To see fans at concerts and games, they cry and scream and literally bow down to their favorite artist, the adoration and devotion they show towards the famous is evident in how they follow their favorite team/celebrity relentlessly, giving their time, treasures, and talent to the service of either themselves or to another human being. "American Idol" is not just a t.v. show.  

There is going to be a Day of Judgment, and God will judge everyone who has ever lived, His wrath is going to poured out on all the wicked and ungodly. The eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, anyone who will believes will know and have a real relationship with the true God.  You can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and saves us from the righteous wrath of God. But that is not all, He gives us a new heart and mind NOW, and we receive some of His blessing from heaven NOW and are equipped to be able to live a life that is holy and acceptable to Him NOW.

1. Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is real, He lived and died and rose from the grave.

2. Believe that you are a sinner, repent-turn from your sins and realize and accept you need Jesus.

3. Confess that Jesus is your Lord and God

4. Find a local Bible preaching church that does obey the commandment for water baptism for the remission of your sins and to identify yourself with Christ.

This is just the first step to a lifelong journey of growing in truth and love with the God who created this earth and everything in it, including every human being that has ever lived.

Satan's One World Government

Israel government has passed a law that every Israel citizen be 'digitally coded' with 'facial scans' and 'finger prints'.

What is most alarming is that most of the industrialized world's "Christian" citizens are completely clueless or don't care, and are not paying attention to the quickly coming one world government.  The bible is crystal clear that a final one world government under the control of Satan is going to come.  Why so many believe that it won't happen is mind boggling. Satan is a deceiver, he is not just going to pop out and say, "I'm Satan, take my 666 mark". Christians are warned over and over to NOT BE DECEIVED!  Satan is not going to reveal himself until he has complete control OF THE WHOLE WORLD!  A rational person would have to ask themselves exactly HOW could one man rule the whole world. Before technology, people could hide out, use cash/goods, the governments did not know what they were doing. But now, oh, now, we have technology that can identify/find ANY human being on the planet. The governments can know exactly how much money you have, where you spend it.  And all the programs that promote a 'one world government' use words like 'peace' and 'safety' and we are warned in the Bible that is EXACTLY how Satan will deceive the world-through promises of peace and safety.

 I believe the U.N. is the precursor to the one world government. Their 2030 agenda is the blueprint for the one world government. Troy Brewer's book "Numbers that Preach" has some interesting prophetic correlations. The number "20" seems to have to do with a person of God having the inside scoop that God is about to do something big and the number "20" is associated WITH PROPHECY.  The number "30" is associated with heaven beginning to transform the earth.  The goal of the UN 2030 is TO TRANSFORM THE EARTH UNDER A UNIVERSAL AGENDA! Elevating man, no mention of God or God's provisions/order.

The issue of the 'mark of the beast' is a hotly debated topic. Is the mark the rfid chip/bio metric screenings?  Some believe it is, some believe it is not. I am with the camp that it is the building blocks of the mark of the beast. Why some people go to great lengths to 'uncover' deeper meanings into God's word when in some places it is a clear simple statement from God. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." Jesus, Matthew 28:19.  The command is simple-go, baptize, teach. Paul preached vehemently against those 'Gnostics' and any who claim to have 'secret knowledge'.  God does purposely want to confuse people, that is Satan's game. God clearly tells us what to do and what to know in His word.  Yes, there are some 'heavy' topics, but at the core of the Bible is to "fear God and keep His commandments".  So why do many preach against the fact that the chip technology is NOT the mark of the beast.  "He (Satan) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who as the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understand calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666." Revelation 13: 16-18.

What did John see when he was taken into the future? John would not know what a scanner is.  But he could see people in the future, some 'apparatus' being waved over their head and hand and that is was clear that it was mandated to have to buy and sell things.  He could see people being killed for not taking the 'mark'. When governments start to pass laws that it is MANDATORY to get the rfid chip/bio metric scanning, and governments are under the control of Satan, does it really take a rocket scientist to believe that this is what John saw. The technology we have today is able to control every man, woman, and child, and is in the hands of governments who ALWAYS abuse it.  The article posted about the mandatory bio metric facial/finger scans reported that the Israeli government after passing the initial law, then adjusted it to make it 'voluntary' and that children 16 and under would not have to get it.  It does not take a leap of faith to believe that one day, and one day soon, IT WILL BE MANDATORY for EVERYONE. They are not going to say "it's the mark of the beast". No, the 'chip' is for your safety, security, your banking, your health records. Chips are now in many normal everyday electronics.  It will save money, it will save lives. Cash will eliminated.  All financial transactions will be electronic.  The tracking technology is already in place NOW, smart phones now all come with tracking capabilities, but no one is alarmed as we are being inoculated into the one world/total monitoring global system.  I am driving down the road, my phone alerts me I have been at Kroger, even if I did not buy anything.  If you think the governments in the world will not abuse this power, you really are deceiving yourself.

Right now all over the world, people are getting 'chipped' there are ominous commercials with 'happy people' saying "I got the chip!"  Bio-metric scanners are now in some airports in America and around the world, some people already have the chip and use it at stores. Many people are already chipped.  Rfid chips are in clothes, on products, all of the credit cards. It won't be long before the credit cards are phased out as well.

At the end of day it all comes down to faith. Either you will believe or you won't.  I believe what the bible says, that a one world government is coming.  The bible did not tell exactly "how" that would happen, but anyone with any common sense can see that we are headed for a one world government.  Leaders since the end of World War II have been talking about a 'one world order'. We have now in place the U.N. whose goal is to usher in a one world governmental system. In order for this one world system to be stable, they will need to have complete control of everything. In order for Satan to be revealed there needs to be 10 kingdoms established. World War 3 could happen at any moment, when the world is on the edge of total destruction, one man will rise up through the ashes and many will believe he is the Messiah, this man will usher in 'peace', but he will betray the people, declare himself to be 'god'.  The man of sin, the son of perdition, he goes by many names, the abomination of desolation, Satan, the devil, the prince and ruler of this world, will come and he will reign for a short time.  His reign will be 'praised' by the wicked, the righteous will be persecuted. The time has come for Christians to wake up, but I already know that many will remain asleep and deceived. Satan's kingdom is active now-abortion, same sex marriage, adultery, fornication, hate, corruption, idol worship-all are at all time high. Eat, meet, drink, and be merry, be entertained, there is no god, the bible is not true, all roads lead to heaven, or there is no heaven or hell. The truth is vilified, while falsehoods reign.   Jesus said in the last days that many would fall away and believe the doctrines of demons. That is where were are now. In the birth pains before The Great Tribulation.  Real Christians need to watch, pray, and get ready, the severe persecution that is happening all over the world in China, Iraq, all of Africa, Mexico, Vietnam, Sudan, India-the U.S. and other industrialized countries  is coming, we will not escape the same persecution. Will we be able to bravely face death, imprisonment,  loss of home/health, torture for Christ? 

There is going to be a Day of Judgment, and God will judge everyone who has ever lived, His wrath is going to poured out on all the wicked and ungodly. The eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, anyone who will believes will know and have a real relationship with the true God.  You can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and saves us from the righteous wrath of God. But that is not all, He gives us a new heart and mind NOW, and we receive some of His blessing from heaven NOW and are equipped to be able to live a life that is holy and acceptable to Him NOW.

The Masochist Effect

Why do we continue to do things that hurt us? Are we born masochists? What got me thinking of this blog post was I love popcorn. I can eat a whole large bag of popcorn in one setting.  I had bought a new brand of kettle popcorn, it was a big bag.  I started to eat it and found that I really did not like the flavor, but I kept on eating it anyway, even when I could feel that I was full. I was thinking, "it's popcorn, I don't want to waste any." Afterwards, it left a funny taste in my mouth and an upset stomach.  I went to sleep but woke up in the middle of the night thinking to myself, "Why did I continue to eat that popcorn even though it did not taste good?"  Immediately, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, (not literally), "This is what sin is."  Satan loves to tempt us with our fleshly desires and they look and taste good.  All of Satan's weapons appeal to the three main problems that plague mankind-lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.  You have only to turn on your TV set, cruise the magazine aisles/internet, go to a bar/restaurant, go through the rich neighborhoods, and any entertainment venue and you see the bought lies and temptations of the enemy on display.  The lie of the devil is summed up like this, "Satisfy your flesh and you will be happy."

 No where is the message more stated than in the clubs and bars around the world.  The neon/flashing lights, the dark atmosphere, the alcoholic drinks are so vividly displayed in various colors with adornments; everything looks 'cool' and 'free', and 'fun'.  "Drink, be merry, have a good time, there are no worries, live for today, do what feels good." But what's behind the bright lights and colorful cocktails is hidden, they don't display all the heart ache, pain, and suffering that comes with gratifying the flesh. "The wages of sin is death."  This truth is ignored and the lie is believed by so many as proven by the millions of addicts to drugs/alcohol, pornography, gambling, sex, food, lies, and money. If being rich and famous makes you happy, why are so many rich people killing themselves?  If taking God out of the schools, courts, and homes makes people happy, why is there a young girl or boy sexually/physically/emotionally/verbally abused every minute around the world? If following the worlds' recommendation for relationships (no need to marry, living together before marriage is good, monogamy is outdated-promiscuity is the way to go) works so well, Why is the divorce rate over 60%? Sexually transmitted diseases are an all time high? Millions of single men and women depressed and suicidal over breakups and feeling lonely or think they need can't survive without another person?

Drugs and alcohol are one of Satan's best tools for stealing souls.  "Take this, it will make you happy and feel good and take away all your problems." It seems like daily we get some new report about the epidemic of opiate abuse related deaths.  Why are young people who are born in the United States, Canada, countries that are supposedly rich and have every comfort known to man, taking substances that are killing themselves? What are they trying to escape from?

Why is America the land of the brave, the free, and the obese? There is a restaurant on nearly every block. There are reality shows on who can eat the most food. There are reality shows on food, cooking, cooking contests.  When you go to a restaurant your servings are four times a normal serving of food, and we eat the whole plate to include appetizers and desserts. Gluttony is now called, a "thyroid" problem.  Over eating is now called an, "impulse control" problem.
What ever the issue is-eating, drugs/alcohol/sexual immorality,  it all points to the same problem-sin. Living a sinful lifestyle is being enslaved to the darkness. A slave has no choice, they must obey their master and Satan is hard slave master.  He makes you eat the poison and when you throw it up he makes you eat the the vomit too.

As a counselor,I hear too often the desperate cries of the lost, they want to get off the roller coaster from hell, but they don't want to do it God's way. They want to stop doing the drugs, they even say they don't even like the drugs anymore but they can't stop; they don't like the way they make them feel, but they can't stop. They don't like the empty existence of just sleeping around with multiple partners, lonely, unloved, their bodies just used up like trash to be thrown away, but they can't stop; They want to stop gambling their life's savings, they don't like that they are homeless, they don't like that they are afraid, depressed, anxious, jealous, rejected, but they won't make the decisions they need to address their sinful lifestyles.  They don't understand what it means to be an enemy of God.  They basically want to learn how to be 'happy' living a life of sin.  They want the blessings of God but don't want to obey Him.

Unmarried couples living together, the girl is angry at her boyfriend for having sex with another girl. Why? They are not married, virtues like 'faithfulness, loyalty" don't come from the world.  The virtues of the world are survival of the fittest, there is no right or wrong, humans are just molecules, there is no such thing as monogamy. What they don't understand is that all humans are born with free will, the knowledge of good and evil.  Every human has a choice to accept or reject God. Every human is born with the capacity for good and evil. In relationships because we are born with knowledge of good, we expect our partners to be faithful, but this contradicts the worldly view.  What these people don't understand is they are wanting 1 Corinthian's 13 kind of love, but this kind of love is only for believers.  You are NOT going to get 'long suffering' 'unselfishness' 'bearing all things' in the world.  The world is selfish, self serving, self seeking.  It's perfectly normal to be unfaithful in ungodly relationships.  But they continue to engage in sinful relationships expecting different results, but end up with the same useless, unloving, hurtful engagements, they want to stop, but can't. Atheists believe you can have rules without God, but that does not any sense what so ever.  Either there are true right and wrongs or there aren't.

I will finish with the truth's of why we can't stop sinning without believing in God and His Son Jesus Christ:

• "For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, THAT THE LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL." Jesus's own words. John 3-17-19.
• Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, NOR CAN IT BE. Romans 8:7
• For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.  For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do...But I see another law in my members, warring against the law my mind, and bringing me into captivity  to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?  I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:14-25.

There is going to be a Day of Judgment, and God will judge everyone who has ever lived, His wrath is going to poured out on all the wicked and ungodly. The eyes of the unrepentant wicked need to be opened and the ears unplugged so they can see and hear the truth.  The Good News  is Salvation is a free gift from God, you can't work for it or buy because the price has already been paid with the Blood of Jesus Christ and  Believing in Jesus gets us into the Kingdom of God and saves us from the righteous wrath of God. But that is not all, He gives us a new heart and mind NOW, and we receive some of His blessing from heaven NOW and are equipped to be able to live a life that is holy and acceptable to Him NOW.
