Insurrecta Nex
This is an announcement of events sponsored by Terrycast.com and Insurrecta Nex in addressing the Islamic questions and concerns of this nation. While there are those who are attempting to sell Islam as a RELIGION OF PEACE, these same people are sending not so subtle messages that we ‘better comply, or else…” and the supposed ‘moderates’ in the RELIGION OF PEACE are staying silent. If the RELIGION OF PEACE is truly a RELIGION OF PEACE, they should have NO DIFFICULTY in others looking at, and questioning their motives in their very contradictory behavior.
Please read through this whole announcement, and seriously consider joining the efforts in any of these locations, or do your own “Hear Mohammed Speak” event in your location. Information to do this is listed in the press release. I am absolutely sure that the RELIGION OF PEACE would love to dialogue with the Christian Majority of this country, and I am absolutely sure that they can refrain from any threats of any kind, because they are a PEACEFUL PEOPLE. Let’s see how they do.
From Randall Terry:
Dear Friend,
We currently have 7 cities in which a "Hear Muhammad Speak" event will take place. The list is below in the press release that just went out.
We ask you to PLEASE join us in our novena of Rosaries; remember, October 7 is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, to commemorate the Christian victory at Lepanto in 1571 against the Muslim navy.
I also ask you to pray about holding an event in your city. All the training you need is at www.TerryCast.com at "Hear Muhammad Speak."
Finally, if you believe in this project, I beg your help financially if at all possible. In addition to rents and utilities now due, we have the expenses of signs, travel to and from NYC, and multiple press releases. It ads up quickly! Any gift you give is greatly needed, and deeply appreciated. Click here to give.
What follows is the press release that just went out throughout America, and to news agencies around the world. Now we need to pay for them! Click here to give.
God bless you. Please, join us in prayer!

For immediate release:
“Hear Muhammad Speak” at Ground Zero Mosque, CAIR National Headquarters in Washington DC.
On October 6 and 7, in seven U.S. cities, American Christians to read, discuss and discard passages of Sharia law, the Quran, and the Hadith (words of Muhammad not in Quran) in which Muhammad calls for the murder, beheading, torture, execution and more of Christians, Jews, and Muslim “apostates” who leave Islam.
Cities listed below.
Dateline: Washington DC

Contact: Katherine Veritas, 904 687 9804
Complete Details at: www.terrycast.com click on “Hear Muhammad Speak.”
Randall Terry states: “We will ask NYC Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, and the leaders of CAIR to tell Americans plainly if they support these passages of Sharia law, and if they support the various death sentences issued by Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
“One of our goals is to urge Americans to study the words and deeds of Muhammad. Americans are concerned about Sharia law, which is good; we must connect the dots between the Quran, the traditions of Muhammad, and Sharia law.”
Examples of the passages:
“I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but Allah is worshipped, Allah who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my orders.” Muhammad (quoted by Osama bin Laden)
Sharia Law punishment for Muslims who "apostatize:"
The Hanafites: “If he needs time to reconsider, it is desirable that the judge allow him a three-day extension, during which he is to remain in custody. If he accepts Islam thereafter, it is good; if not, he is to be killed, for Allah says to ‘kill those who believe in many gods’ (Sura al-Tawba 9:5), without fixing a deadline. The Prophet also said, ‘Kill him who changes his religion,’ without mentioning a delay, because the apostate is surely a hostile unbeliever.”
Muhammad’s call for the death of those who satirize him:
A prominent Jew named K’ab “composed amatory verses of an insulting nature about the Muslim women.” Muhammad said: ‘Who will rid me of [K’ab]?’ Muhammad said, ‘I will deal with him for you, oh apostle of God, I will kill him.’ He [Muhammad] said, ‘Do so if you can.’” (ibn Ishaq)

HERMENEUTICS 101: ABRAHAM'S CHOICE
George Offerman
The story of Abraham taking Isaac to be sacrificed is one of the most important stories, which is heavily eschatological in its meaning. This event, most likely ‘sealed the deal’ between God and Abraham, when God promised to make his descendents as numerous as the stars in the sky, and grains of dust on the earth. It challenged Abraham to act in faith, as he was told to kill his only son, and from human understanding, would have ended his line of descendents. This also foreshadowed God’s decision to allow His only begotten son to face execution, for the salvation of all who accept Him.
In Genesis 22, Abraham is asked: “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer hem there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” Humanly speaking, Abraham must have been devastated by this request, but the story continues on with Abraham complying with God’s request. Abraham used his free will to comply, and in this story, demonstrated the meaning of walking in faith. Abraham complied with this seemingly ‘irrational’ request, because he trusted in the Word of God, and believed with out seeing.
The story continues with Abraham building an altar and preparing a fire. Isaac made an inquiry pertaining to the sacrificial ‘lamb’ and Abraham answered “God will provide”. The story then states Abraham tied up Isaac and placed him on this altar. What is not stated in the story, but left for matters of faith, is any struggle that took place between Abraham and Isaac. It would seem that Isaac went along with this demand by his father with strict obedience. This story reflects back almost exactly what God the Father would Ask God the Son to do, yet God the Father spared Abraham and Isaac the pain of actual death.
God’s angel appears to Abraham, and tells him to “lay no hand on the lad, or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me”. Abraham’s love for God exceeded virtually everything on this earth, and Abraham modeled the perfect love that God has for all of us. This event portends the eventual coming of the messiah, and this event was so powerful, that God identifies himself to prophets after this as the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”. God sees no greater love than one’ laying down his life fro another, and Abraham, despite much personal consternation, was willing to sacrifice what was dearest to him, as to not offend the Lord. How we need to be more like this today.
God then makes a promise to Abraham for the third time. Notice in this third promise, he includes both aspects of the first two promises in one statement: And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, ‘By myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the STARS of heaven AND as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice”” Genesis 22: 16-18
If one notices, God does not acknowledge Ishmael as Abraham’s son when it came to the promises made of inhabiting the lands promised to Abraham’s offspring, but also addresses the issue that Abraham’s going along with Sarah to have a child out of wedlock was a God give solution to God’s promise, and apparent procrastination in keeping his promise. This has hermeneutical relevance, in that we cannot change God’s ultimate plans, but definitely can change the pathway in which God’s will is ultimately fulfilled. The descendants of Ishmael continue to be influential in world matters, and are at the heart of what is known as the RELIGION OF PEACE. As was covered 2 weeks ago, this conflict will continue until the time of the anti Christ.
Abraham proved that walking in faith can have unbelievable positive outcomes, just like taking matters into one’s own hands can have very negative consequences. This story shows how one man’s faith can change the course of history, and it is a lesson that is lost to modern man. It is rare that anyone in the Church will walk in faith, and challenge those to walk beyond their own sight and understanding of the major issues of the day. For instance, most in the pro life movement do not believe the issue can be resolved in one swift move, but done in increments. This is the poison of man’s understanding, and not that of God, who is capable of making anything possible, even with one faithful man. We need to look at this story, and take in the lessons of faith, and apply them to our times. After all, God still exists, and is still the same God that wants salvation for all, regardless of how ‘sophisticated’ we think we are.

FINALLY, A BISHOP WILLING TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS
George Offerman
Bishop Thomas Doran of the Diocese of Rockford, Ill. has come out and made a strong statement concerning the nature of legalized child killing and its related effects upon our society. It is good to finally see someone with ecclesial authority discuss Biblical matters in an appropriate light, and connect the dots in such a way that it ought to be crystal clear to anyone paying the least bit of attention. Now, the follow up from here, ought to be NAMING NAMES of those who are pro child killing, and to promote those willing to change the laws.
Listed below, is part of Bishop Doran’s letter. Notice the language used, in how strong it is and Bishop Doran makes these statements with a great deal of conviction.
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/sep/10092407.html
In our devolving and decaying morally relativistic society, there are many people who regard the killing of a pre-born child as of no consequence whatever. What is hidden from the eyes of the unsuspecting, however, is that not only for its victims but also for its perpetrators and for societies that permit it, allow it and license it, it is extremely dangerous.
All of us are aware of the perilous financial condition into which corrupt politicians of both parties have cast our country. Particularly vexing to our congressional overlords are the so-called entitlements: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other such things as unemployment compensation and various types of government relief. What we are never told is that the reason these entitlements are becoming unbearable for the taxpaying public is that there are fewer and fewer people contributing funds by way of their taxes to support these needed benefits upon which many people in our society have come to rely. Ours is a rapidly aging population because the number of children born into it becomes smaller and smaller and smaller, relative to the size of our country.
Since a pagan Supreme Court, overriding the Christian conscience of centuries, chose to kill children in 1973, millions of them have been butchered without ever seeing the light of day, even for a moment. Abortion also coarsens our moral discourse and brutalizes our people.
It is said that even Nazi Germany was not quite as callous with regard to nascent infant life as our unelected judges have made our country. Abortion has also contributed to the treatment of women as objects, rather than as subjects, of rights and duties, has made us more callous as regards the commission of lesser crimes and is a bullet aimed at the heart of marriage and family life. It has ruined the trust we used to have in doctors, nurses and the health care business. In short, procured abortion may well be the death knell of our society.
As with other forms of wrongful activity sanctioned or winked at by the government, procured abortion is for the killers and those who support them, immensely profitable. Abortuaries are gold mines for their operators. Killer physicians and surgeons, distaining the Hippocratic Oath, travel hundreds of miles to assassinate a few children, and you may be sure that that kind of doctor or nurse does not work for nothing.
One can see without much effort that Bishop Doran is writing about principles that both the Bible and Catholic Church hold as true, and what happens when these principles are violated. Since there are very few willing to discuss the possibility of our country going down the tubes due to the depravity, it is good that someone with some authority is willing to do this. If the average Christian does not bat an eye at legalized child killing, it is not at all surprising that the same average Christian would not see the Judgment of God coming onto our land as a result of these atrocities. Maybe it is to the average Christian: no crime, no punishment. Unfortunately, there are very ‘high crimes’ and punishment is on its way.
Bishop Doran needs to continue in this vein, but now needs to get from behind the cursed 501 c 3 status and name names. Someone in the American Hierarchy needs to have some gonads and be the first to take on this ‘bought silence’ and preach from the pulpit, and street. The truth needs to be out there, and the Hierarchy needs to put its moral authority behind condemnation of all politicians for legalized child killing, and to back, BY NAME, those willing to see the end of this abomination. We have little time, and God is not neutral about this crime.

SILVER AND WALL STREET
George Offerman
The silver market my very well be at a critical juncture. Over the past four weeks, the silver price has jumped nearly four dollars, and hit a 30 year high. At the same time, there are large numbers of futures contracts that are being submitted for delivery on the CRIMEX err… COMEX for later this week. The COT report is also reflecting an increase in short contracts, courtesy of JPM, which is no longer a secret, but blatant move to manipulate the prices lower. The cartel continues to manipulate the prices lower, which only gives those wanting physical metal, the ability to buy cheaper. However, this will empty the CRIMEX much faster, and this is only good news for those who are holding physical.
This battle will be over, sooner or later, and the cartel is going to lose big time. Now, more than a few have asked recently “is silver oversold?” NO, NO and NO! Most want to look at technical charts, and seeing the ‘steep move’ in the past 4 weeks, believes the prices need to go down. What they are not considering is the fundamental piece of this equation. Silver is in greater demand than ever, while in the shortest above ground supplies ever. The metal exchanges have been slow in filling the physical orders, and the demand for physical has been very strong, and becoming stronger. The depressed price for silver over the past 2 decades has virtually shut down exploration and opening of new mines and the supply cannot be increased by mines for at least 5-7 years (at best).
There is no question silver will be going up a lot, the only question is, whether it will be a gradual or explosive increase. Gold hit it’s nominal high of $850 some time ago, yet silver has not come even close to its $50 nominal high of 1980. If one uses John Williams shadow stats for the true rate of inflation, the inflation adjusted level for silver would be $178 per ounce. No, we are nowhere near ‘oversold’ conditions; we are still in the ‘give away’ phase of this baby bull market. When the price finally takes off (when the power of the cartel is broken) we will not be looking at cents, but dollars per day and those who got on this train will be very glad they did.
Wall Street: Money never sleeps
I have been anticipating seeing this sequel since I first heard it was being made. Regardless of one may think of Oliver Stone, this movie seemed to cover the current financial time in history so well, I wouldn’t even consider it to be fiction. For those of you who want to see it, I will not ruin it by giving much in detail, but it is a very accurate portrayal of the Bear Sterns fiasco and the fallout, and shenanigans behind the scenes. What I found most intriguing were the very subtle messages within much of the dialogue, which could easily be missed if one did not keep up with the news, as well as the major banks and Federal Reserve generating fears of a financial Armageddon if they don’t get what they want.
I do have to make a few observations about the protagonist Gordon Gekko. Stone has Gekko take on more of a prophetic role in this sequel, which is a very good blend with this man’s known ruthlessness from the first Wall Street movie. Gekko explains to his young protégé (also engaged to his estranged daughter) in everyday language, what is going on between the forces of Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and government and how these crimes are so severe, that his 8 years in prison for insider trading is mere fodder for the beast. Despite the fact that Gekko is still Gekko, he looks almost ‘saintly’ in comparison to those who are committing heinous crimes, and appear to have the means of remaining above the law, and have no fear of being stopped. (Best line in the movie, Gordon Gekko to Bretton James, played by Josh Brolin: “If you stop telling lies about me, I’ll stop telling the truth about you”)
While many have focused on how Stone seems to ‘rehash’ a story that is two years old, Stone has Gekko make one very cryptic and possibly prophetic line that seemed to go unnoticed by most moviegoers: “This is in preparation for the ultimate bubble”. This line was delivered in the midst of Gekko discussing derivatives, and it would definitely link the taxpayer bailout to the sale of U.S. Treasuries and the bursting of that bubble, an event still off in the future. If I were to go into a conspiratorial mindset for a moment, I would bet the whole movie was a set up for this whole premise; the biggest financial fireworks are still ahead. We shall see.

D.C. UNITE: ELECT MISSY REILLY SMITH YOUR NEXT CONGRESSWOMAN
George Offerman
Missy Reilly Smith, a D.C fixture in the pro life movement and outspoken advocate for honesty and integrity in government is running against Eleanor Holmes Norton for Congress. We in the pro life movement have long understood that the key to victory is the overturning of Roe and Doe, and this can only occur if we have STATESMEN in office. In the case of Mrs. Smith, it will be STATESWOMAN. This is our opportunity as pro lifers to ‘put our money where our mouth is’ and work on getting Mrs. Smith elected to congress.
It seems that Ms. Norton has had some ethical problems come her way lately. It seems Ms. Norton believes she can violate ethical rules and ‘solicit’ campaign funds while on government property, and in the official role of her job. It seems Ms. Norton believes she can use the high position on select committees to ‘encourage’ lobbyists to ‘contribute’ to her campaign, which is illegal. It seems Ms. Norton fits right into the current crew of cronies and thugs that now dominate Crapitol Hill and believe they have a God given right to perpetuate this cronyism that is taken to the highest art form by the Demovampire party. Citizens of D.C.: you now have a true option to rid your city of such stench – elect Missy Reilly Smith to Congress and fire Eleanor Holmes Norton.
I have personally known Mrs. Smith for nearly 10 years. Mrs. Smith has the highest integrity and ethical standard of anyone I have ever met. Mrs. Smith is the founder of Women Against the Exploitation and Killing of Unborn Persons (W.A.K.E.U.P.), created the pro life radio program ”Chastity the New Sexual Revolution” and heads up the D.C chapter of abortion survivor organization “Operation Outcry”. Ms. Smith has been a very vocal advocate for traditional marriage and was very outspoken concerning Ms. Norton’s pushing through the same sex marriage status, despite heavy lobbying against this legislation by her own constituents. Mrs. Smith has pledged to work on overturning the same sex marriage status, and to reverse the Federal funding of legal child killing that goes against the God given rights of the unborn to their lives.
Citizens of the District of Columbia: are you tired of the constant lies and corruption of the status quo candidates and elected officials? Are you tired of the constant derision by most of the country due to the ‘tolerated’ and blatant bad behaviors of your elected officials? Are you tired of having legislation you do not agree with ‘shoved’ down your throats by politicians that only care about their own future and not yours? Are you tired of the lack of accountability by these officials? Are you tired of these politicians living ‘above the law’ while they pass draconian measures that makes your life more difficult? If you are, you truly have a “choice’ in this matter, and have the ability to send a message to the other cronies that darken the doorsteps of the Crapitol building in your beautiful city. Elect Missy Reilly Smith as your Representative in Congress.
For the pro lifers in the D.C. metro area and across the country. We have a candidate that will present pro life legislation that will directly challenge Roe and Doe, and legislation that will ‘kill’ the loophole and by pass the Supreme Court. We have a candidate that knows first hand the destructive nature of legalized child killing, and understands first hand the damage it does to women. We have a candidate that is knowledgeable in educating her colleagues in the grisly and dark side of the legalized child killing fields, and can bring about significant changes in attitudes towards this barbaric practice. WE have a candidate that is not a RINO, and will follow through on her promises. Now, are we going to be all talk, or will we get behind the candidacy of Missy Reilly Smith, and do something about it?
Mrs. Smith is the real deal and without the backing of the pro life movement, Mrs. Smith’s candidacy will be greatly impaired. It is time to get out of the kitchen and Church, and DO SOMETHING. This something is supporting Mrs. Smith, either financially, or volunteering, if not both. For those of you in the D.C metro area, educate your family and friends if they live in D.C. and get them to vote. It is truly crunch time for our country, and this needs to happen.
Missy Reilly Smith, a D.C fixture in the pro life movement and outspoken advocate for honesty and integrity in government is running against Eleanor Holmes Norton for Congress. We in the pro life movement have long understood that the key to victory is the overturning of Roe and Doe, and this can only occur if we have STATESMEN in office. In the case of Mrs. Smith, it will be STATESWOMAN. This is our opportunity as pro lifers to ‘put our money where our mouth is’ and work on getting Mrs. Smith elected to congress.
It seems that Ms. Norton has had some ethical problems come her way lately. It seems Ms. Norton believes she can violate ethical rules and ‘solicit’ campaign funds while on government property, and in the official role of her job. It seems Ms. Norton believes she can use the high position on select committees to ‘encourage’ lobbyists to ‘contribute’ to her campaign, which is illegal. It seems Ms. Norton fits right into the current crew of cronies and thugs that now dominate Crapitol Hill and believe they have a God given right to perpetuate this cronyism that is taken to the highest art form by the Demovampire party. Citizens of D.C.: you now have a true option to rid your city of such stench – elect Missy Reilly Smith to Congress and fire Eleanor Holmes Norton.
I have personally known Mrs. Smith for nearly 10 years. Mrs. Smith has the highest integrity and ethical standard of anyone I have ever met. Mrs. Smith is the founder of Women Against the Exploitation and Killing of Unborn Persons (W.A.K.E.U.P.), created the pro life radio program ”Chastity the New Sexual Revolution” and heads up the D.C chapter of abortion survivor organization “Operation Outcry”. Ms. Smith has been a very vocal advocate for traditional marriage and was very outspoken concerning Ms. Norton’s pushing through the same sex marriage status, despite heavy lobbying against this legislation by her own constituents. Mrs. Smith has pledged to work on overturning the same sex marriage status, and to reverse the Federal funding of legal child killing that goes against the God given rights of the unborn to their lives.
Citizens of the District of Columbia: are you tired of the constant lies and corruption of the status quo candidates and elected officials? Are you tired of the constant derision by most of the country due to the ‘tolerated’ and blatant bad behaviors of your elected officials? Are you tired of having legislation you do not agree with ‘shoved’ down your throats by politicians that only care about their own future and not yours? Are you tired of the lack of accountability by these officials? Are you tired of these politicians living ‘above the law’ while they pass draconian measures that makes your life more difficult? If you are, you truly have a “choice’ in this matter, and have the ability to send a message to the other cronies that darken the doorsteps of the Crapitol building in your beautiful city. Elect Missy Reilly Smith as your Representative in Congress.
For the pro lifers in the D.C. metro area and across the country. We have a candidate that will present pro life legislation that will directly challenge Roe and Doe, and legislation that will ‘kill’ the loophole and by pass the Supreme Court. We have a candidate that knows first hand the destructive nature of legalized child killing, and understands first hand the damage it does to women. We have a candidate that is knowledgeable in educating her colleagues in the grisly and dark side of the legalized child killing fields, and can bring about significant changes in attitudes towards this barbaric practice.

ARE WE ON THE VERGE OF A WORLD CURRENCY?
George Offerman
There has been much written about a proposed world currency dubbed the “Bancor”, but very little of this has made the MSM and has not been discussed at all in any significant venue that the general public would ever access. This is no longer in the realm of conspiracy theory, nor are those promoting such a move considered ‘lunatics’. Many that have discussed this currency are in a position to make it happen, and seem to be unified in their efforts to make this happen soon. This is just another piece of evidence that events predicted thousands of years ago are coming to pass right before our eyes, and it is time to prepare.
This particular article was located on one of my favorite sites, and is very informative, yet very chilling. Note what is implied in the first paragraph concerning those who would resist a one world government, and how far it has progressed. The second paragraph seems to encapsulate the aspect of how one will become a slave to such an organization, and unlike what the one world government proponents state, we will be slaves with absolutely no say so in any aspect of our lives. We will truly be at the mercy of the elites, who by the way are following their master who is totally evil. No good will come of this.
Excerpts from “The Emerging Global Fed” by Alex Newman from the Silver Bear Café site:
Noting that there would be critics of the development of a world central bank, especially in America, Council on Foreign Relations insider and global fiat currency promoter Jeffrey Garten points out in an article for Newsweek, "Among their many charges, critics will protest the establishment of ‘world government.’ But we have a World Trade Organization with legally binding powers over trade disputes. We have a World Health Organization for communicable disease with the ability to quarantine entire countries. And a World Court functions today that has considerable legal and moral clout." Dismissing critics protesting the establishment of a world government by pointing out that it already exists in rudimentary form is hardly likely to pacify those critics.
But what would a global currency really mean aside from the destruction of the dollar and the U.S. economy? "A global central bank would be a disaster," financial guru Bob Chapman, editor of the International Forecaster, told The New American. "It means the acceptance of world slavery." Chapman also pointed out that the present international monetary system was being deliberately destroyed precisely to bring about a global currency like the bancor. "It’s just not fiscal and monetary policy. It is every facet of your life that these elitists want to control." And they’re moving rapidly toward that goal.

The ‘Bancor’ was proposed by John Maynard Keynes as a ‘solution’ to the many ‘problems’ the modern world (read: elites) experiences and is the ultimate tool of control for the world’s population. However, this could not and cannot take place until the world is ready to accept this currency and submit to an all encompassing world banking system. For this to readily occur, the world’s reserve currency, the dollar, needs to be wiped out. We are already seeing flavors of this, and the banking elites are nearly finished inflating their last ‘bubble’, the U.S. Treasuries market. When the U.S. Treasury Bill bubble bursts, the dollar will be finished, and the devastation brought on by this event will be unprecedented. The population of the world will DEMAND stability of the financial world, and the elites will GLADLY step in and take this role. (Remember, the elites ENGINEERED this collapse.)
The international Monetary Fund (IMF) has already put into place a program in which nations can get loans or funding through what is known as SDR’s or Special Drawing Rights. SDR’s are currently made up of a basket of currencies, in which the dollar is one. If a currency collapses, it can be replaced. But the true agent of change is an international banking cartel that is exempt from any national oversight, and would have its own authority to give or deny credit to any nation for any reason. In essence, all nations’ sovereignty would be determined by a few elitist bankers who will have little interest in the well being of any particular group of people or countries. The next logical step is to have one currency that would be managed by this cartel, and all nations would have to abide by it.
This reality is not something out of the National Enquirer or Mad TV. It is a reality and happening as we speak. How far it gets is totally up to us, but the time is short to stop these evil people from placing shackles on us that will be nearly impossible to shed once in place. This needs to be fought, and the time is now.
Silver update
Some have inquired about the price of silver and its rise in the past few weeks. All I can say is the time is coming to a close that one is able to obtain the physical metal. The paper price is still under manipulative forces, but appears to be breaking free. When this occurs, the price will truly take off and go to places few can imagine. I will be writing about where to purchase silver and have some information for those who may want to have precious metals in an IRA. Stay tuned.

HERMENEUTICS 101: SODOM AND GOMORRAH
George Offerman
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is that of a microcosm of God’s love, and demonstrates the balance between Divine Mercy and Divine Justice. It also demonstrates how God views sexual sins, especially homosexuality, and the ultimate demise of these two cities shows the outcome of rampant and blatant misuse of God’s gift of sexuality to mankind. It also reflects the principle of the full cup, and how God will eventually break into history and pronounce and carry through on His judgments. And the last point is that both cities were destroyed by fire. This fire was so consuming that not a trace of the cities were left and God cursed the ground so nothing would ever grow there, nor would a city ever be built in that location ever again.
The story starts in Genesis 18:16 and runs through chapter 19:29, and is effectively broken up into three stories within the main story. The first is the fairly well known discourse Abraham has with the Lord pertaining to how many righteous men it would take to ‘save’ the cities. The second story is of the two angels who enter the city, and the men of the city want to ‘ravish’ them. The third part is the total destruction of the city with fire and brimstone, and Lot’s wife turning to look, and becoming a pillar of salt. This particular story, and series of events also have an eschatological meaning for Revelation times, as it demonstrates the need to be ‘in touch’ with God, and to utilize free will in matters of faith.
The discourse starts with the Lord stating to the two angels whether the Lord should inform Abraham of his plans to destroy the cities. Abraham then jumps into the conversation, and challenges the Lord on the Lord’s own precepts of not destroying the righteous with the wicked, and treating them the same. The Lord acquiesces on this point, and Abraham is able to get the lord to promise that if only 10 righteous could be found in the cities, the Lord would hold off judgment. This discourse shows, hermeneutically, that man is an active participant in the outcome of matters, and that calling God on his word, if done accurately, results in constancy of application.
The idea of only 10 righteous people holding off this severe of a judgment demonstrates how important each individual is to God, and that even one person living a righteous life, can change the outcome of regions. It is also a perfect demonstration of last week’s topic of the full cup principle, as there were no righteous people to be found, other than Lot and his family, and they were ordered to leave immediately. Given that the continued existence of Sodom and Gomorrah would have caused only needless suffering, God in his Divine Justice acted to end this needless suffering.
Abraham accompanies the two angels and goes to the home of Lot. The Men of Sodom observed Abraham with the two angels, who were incarnated as men. The inhabitants were so engrossed and/or possessed by their sexual passions that they surrounded the house and demanded to have these two men sexually. Even with the offers of Lot’s two daughters, the men of Sodom were only interested in the men. The punishment dealt to these lustful men was literal blindness. However, this judgment mirrored the moral blindness these men already suffered from, and they were now in the midst of physical darkness, mirroring their spiritual darkness. These men did not see the light, so they had their ability to see any light extinguished. This is often how it is with God. Very often, the consequences and judgments sent by God are very similar to the nature of the sin committed, so there will be no mistaking what the source of this is.
After the men are struck with blindness, the Lord is clear in his pronouncement that the cities will be destroyed, and that Lot and his family must leave immediately. The story states Lot ‘tarried’ and the angels responded by taking Lot and his family by the hand and removing them from the cities. This demonstrates that once God decides to act, it is sudden, and on his time line. God is clear with Lot and his family that the destruction is going to be so harsh and complete, that they are not even allowed to look at it “lest they die’. Lot’s wife, like someone in a garden in days gone by, decided to challenge those words, but this time God carried through with his promise. Lot then hid in a cave with his two daughters, as the only survivors of this judgment.
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has eschatological ramifications. It was totally destroyed by fire and brimstone and nothing was left but ash. In the times of Revelation, fire and brimstone will be used on three separate occasions. The first trumpet is ‘fire mixed with hail’ that will destroy 1/3 of the trees and green plants, but will destroy all of the green grass. The city of Babylon will be destroyed by fire, and will burn in an inferno while the unsaved are forced to watch and contemplate their own fate, and finally the whole earth will be cleansed by fire that will consume virtually every archive and sign of sinful man to have ever existed on this planet. However, like Lot, the righteous will be told to leave the city before this fate occurs. Part of their righteousness will be to listen to this prompting and to obey. God will then finish off this ultimate monster, created by both evil men and the evil angel king. This destruction will be complete and permanent, so that nothing will be left from the age of sin to contaminate a new and perfect eternity.
For those who may be skeptical of many of the biblical accounts in the Old Testament, here is a site that may peak some of your interests. I was introduced to this information while Ron Wyatt was alive, and had access to some picture and information I no longer see on the site. It gives one pause to see such information and to contemplate how such judgments took place, while thinking about a God who is unchanging and will carry through with the same principles, no matter when in history sin takes place. For your discernment.

THE VIOLENCE OF THE RELIGION OF PEACE
George Offerman
I have probably just witnessed the most disturbing video of my life. It is of a stoning of a young girl, maybe 12 years old that did not marry some man she was set up with. She ended up being stoned to death, and it appeared those involved with the stoning were very zealous in their sick and disgusting execution of this young woman. We should begin to understand how SICK many of these people and leaders (ANIMALS) are, and what Sharia law would mean if it took root in this country. Now, I want to be clear I am commenting on the animals who took part in this execution, but it also includes those who go along with it by their silence. If this is mandated by the “god of love and peace’ I NEVER WANT TO GO WHERE THEY GO FOR ETERNITY. (video very graphic)
http://www.resistnet.com/main/sharing/share?id=2600775%253ATopic%253A2513645
For those who will not view the vide, it is of a young girl (around age 12) who refused to marry an old man in an arranged marriage, and was found guilty by the Sharia civil court and sentenced to death. This young girl is surrounded by a mob, who kicks her until she is bleeding from the face, and then drops a cinder block on her head. It is extremely disconcerting that the crowd jeers, and several individuals with camera phones are getting close-ups as this girl struggles for her life and pleads with the mob of animals to spare her. Only DEMONICALLY LEAD people/animals are capable of such actions. Those posting, as well as many women who have come from these repressive regimes claim this is common practice. Well, we are seeing for ourselves what the RELIGION OF PEACE would do if they had their way in this country.
It goes beyond explanation how any religion could sanction such a brutal death, and then claim to be a RELIGION OF PEACE. This is a claim that can only be made from the pits of hell from Satan himself and be enforced by people who must be demonically possessed themselves. This is definitely not sanctioned by a God of love, but a false god of hate and destruction. By their fruits shall you know them. Many Muslims have fled to this country to get away from this repression and hate, and now many have been very vocal stating those who would impose Sharia on the world have their sights on ‘converting’ this country. Why would we not believe these people? Look at how the RELIGION OF PEACE treats its own members. Why would the RELIGION OF PEACE treat the Christian world any better?
The idea of the RELIGION OF PEACE being a RELIGION OF PEACE is about as true as the current group of cronies in the White House wanting to curtail spending and telling the truth to the American people about their real activities. When will people begin to accept the real face of this so called RELIGION OF PEACE? What is it going to take to wake people up concerning the real intent the RELIGION OF PEACE has for this country? Are we going to allow fear to rule us instead of the conviction that our One and only Lord has already won our victory over our enemies, and we just need to claim it? It is time to be rid of these shackles that bind us into inaction.
We don’t know the end result of the recent actions and threats made to us by many of the representatives of the RELIGION OF PEACE, yet we see the fruits everywhere the RELIGION OF PEACE has influence over. We even see public school children going on field trips to Mosques, and end up learning about and praying to the god of the RELIGION OF PEACE and most of the people make up excuses for this. This type of event would never occur in a Christian or Jewish setting and be tolerated, but one more time the RELIGION OF PEACE gets a free pass. When is enough enough?

THE DISHONEST STEWARD
George Offerman
I’m taking a one day detour from the major topic at hand to go into one of the most intriguing parables Jesus has given us. It is very rich in dealing with both this life and the afterlife, and how worldly goods connect both realities. It also discusses how many in the world ‘outdo’ those who are in the light, and gives the reasons why this is so. Its lessons are very relevant for our current situation and it would bode well for Christians to take stock in the words of our Savior.
The parable is found in Luke 16:1-13, and incorporates three significant and somewhat distinct aspects. 1) The dishonest steward squanders his master’s goods, and is terminated after a measure of time. 2) the dishonest steward acts quickly within the world to assure himself of a position after termination, and 3) A general statement by Jesus stating the world is better at taking care of its own that those who are ‘saved’ and that no one can love two masters, and must choose between them.
The dishonest steward abuses his position within the household. This individual acted as if there would be no accounting of any type whatsoever, and thus, like today, believed things were to go on ‘as normal’. The steward was caught off guard when the master unexpectedly called him on his behavior, and he realized he would soon be unemployed. Life as the steward had known it, was over, and a new reality was about to set in on him, as he filled his measure, or cup, and had to make the necessary adjustments. What is a little different in this parable is the fact the steward assessed his situation honestly, and did not ‘grovel’ to his master for any more chances.
This man then interacts with the world, by offering to reduce the debt of those who owed a considerable amount to his master. The steward understood enough about the world that if he did favors for those who owed much, then he in his need would find ‘grateful benefactors’ when he needed their help. Jesus throws the Pharisees a curve ball by making the statement “the master commended the steward for his shrewdness” despite the fact the steward gave away his master’s goods and not his own. Jesus also seemed to make clear that despite the commendation; the steward was still terminated, thus having filled his cup of iniquity.
Jesus then goes on to teach those in the audience that the world knows how to play the game better than those who are saved. When someone believes there is no god, the individual is clear he needs to ‘make his own breaks’. This assures actions, and if the drive is strong enough, this person will do whatever he needs to do to accomplish his goals. Unfortunately, those who are ‘saved’ or Christians, want to depend on God to do all things for them, and often become very complacent in the ‘action’ mode. Too often, the Christian wants to ‘pray’ about the situation, but does not follow up with action, believing God will do it himself, or raise up ‘someone else’ to do the dirty work.
It is the INACTION of the Christian, not the evil activities of unbelievers that advance sin in this world. We already know what the truth is, and the truth always wins out against the lie. The problem is that few do much about the lie and few ACT ON WHAT THEY KNOW TO BE TRUE. Evil advances ONLY when those who know the truth do nothing. Comfort is a form of mammon, as is convenience. Jesus is very authorative in his discourses that following him is carrying a cross, and that one ‘dies to self’ on a regular basis. This is a message of discomfort and inconvenience, and it is a clear ‘call to arms’ for the Christian to be the light of the world as Jesus mandates for his followers.
The dishonest steward took a calculated risk by giving his master’s goods away, that he would sow some good will amongst his fellow man. God gives us 100% assurance we will be well rewarded for giving His word and message of salvation away, yet few want to ‘risk it’. The only way to build that eternal treasure that can never be taken away is to be an ACTIVE witness for the Faith. One cannot serve the master of comfort and convenience and simultaneously be a warrior for Christ. The line is clear and becoming clearer by the day. Which master will you choose to follow?
I’m taking a one day detour from the major topic at hand to go into one of the most intriguing parables Jesus has given us. It is very rich in dealing with both this life and the afterlife, and how worldly goods connect both realities. It also discusses how many in the world ‘outdo’ those who are in the light, and gives the reasons why this is so. Its lessons are very relevant for our current situation and it would bode well for Christians to take stock in the words of our Savior.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE WORDS MAKE
George Offerman
I am posting an article from Fars News Agency, located somewhere in the Middle East, and they are strong believers and defenders of the RELIGION OF PEACE. Notice how these official representatives of the RELIGION OF PEACE refer to peoples who disagree with them, and dare tear out pages from the Koran, the book of the RELIGION OF PEACE. Yet these same representatives of the RELIGION OF PEACE have no difficulty in calling for the grisly killing of the ‘infidels’ who commit such blasphemous acts. The RELIGION OF PEACE also does not acknowledge their desire to ‘blow Israel off the map’ or any of the other atrocities targeted at Christians on a daily basis. No, tearing out pages from an antiquated book is far worse than killing real human beings in the most grisly fashion. Gee, let’s all join the RELIGION OF PEACE and get saved!
The point in this is, notice the potency of the language used by the RELIGION OF PEACE and juxtaposes this to the milquetoast expressions and words used by the Church and pro life movement here, and one can understand why most fear reprisals from the RELIGION OF PEACE. The sad part of this is that most of the lukewarm Christian world would agree with the RELIGION OF PEACE, and are scared into their kitchens and Churches when the RELIGION OF PEACE does things like, KILLING MILLIONS of Christians in one of the world’s greatest purges of any religion against another. The RELIGION OF PEACE is not challenged, and most of the world seems to be afraid of those in the RELIGION OF PEACE, a rather ironic state of affairs.
"American statesmen and authorities should give a clear answer to the Muslim nations over this bold and insulting act," Mottaki told reporters in a joint press conference with his Malawian counterpart here in Tehran today.
The minster blamed Zionists for such provocative moves, which he said are aimed at sowing discord among believers of different faiths and religions.
He further warned about the negative consequences of insult to the values of 1.5 billion Muslims, and said, "This seed of hatred sown by the West and its resulting fire will cause trouble for them themselves."
The remark by the Iranian foreign minister came after a group of conservative Christians have sent shock waves across the world after they tore the pages of Quran outside the White House. They tore the pages from an English paperback edition of the Holy Book.
Also some blasphemers in the US on Saturday took the satanic step of burning some copies of God's final and most comprehensive revelation to mankind, the Qur'an, and posted video clips of their devilish deed on the net.
The blasphemer appeared near the location of the twin-tower centre in New York and set ablaze a copy of Quran in front of the camera.
Several photographers, cameramen and others took pictures and clips of the blasphemous act carried out under the protection of FBI on the pretext of freedom of action.
The move has shocked the civilized world and hurt the sentiments of over 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide and billions of other believers.
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8906211538
Could we even begin to imagine if the pro life movement had the potency of the RELIGION OF PEACE and change the way the country thinks by putting out press releases that merely imply we could throw all the bums out of office? Pro lifers would never have a tenth of the gumption these people have when asserting their faith, and thus do not have any of the results of ending legalized child killing. But back to the RELIGION OF PEACE.
The RELIGION OF PEACE is so phony in their ideas of peace that they can’t even live in their own skins. There is no possible way that anyone of sound reasoning can look at what the RELIGION OF PEACE attempts to sell as their true theology versus what they actually do, and that is to kill anyone who disagrees with them. It is a perverse reminder of the Marlon Brando line in “The Godfather” “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse”.
No one can take these people seriously, when they kill so easily, and then claim to be the RELIGION OF PEACE. They think that tearing pages from a book is the same as brutally murdering people. Were these people educated in American schools? These are the people that breed hatred, not Christians who want to spread the Gospel. Threatening to kill people is not the way to use FREE WILL to get one to worship Jesus Christ, the TRUE SAVIOR of the world (not Mohammed). The RELIGION OF PEACE is the one who declared fatwa on us, not the other way around. Liars will always be liars, but the truth will win out in the end.

HERMENEUTICS 101: ABRAHAM'S PROMISE
George Offerman
This particular posting goes into the promises, and predictions made by God to Abraham. In it, you will note the accuracy and exactness of the fulfillment, and how the dynamics between the two ‘half brothers’ is still in existence to this day. It also demonstrates how God keeps his word, no matter what interference man throws into the mix. It also demonstrates the exactness of consequences an individual or group will pay when ‘meddling’ with God’s prophecy.
Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those that bless you, and him who curses you I will curse: and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves” Genesis 12:1-3
For all the land which you would see I will give to you and to your descendants for ever. I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your descendants also can be counted. Genesis 13:15-17
And he brought him outside and said, “Look towards heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be” Genesis 15:5
Three times God made a promise to Abram concerning the future nation of Israel, and each time God made the promise, He used allegories that Abraham would not mistake or misinterpret, and after the third promise, scripture points out that Abram believed this despite having no offspring for himself, and being advanced in age. But due to some mischief from Sarai, with Abram’s cooperation, these plans took a detour, and this misadventure by Abram and Sarai has caused trouble from that day on, and continues to this day.
Sarai’s ‘indecent proposal”
Now, Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar; and Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children” go into my maid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her” And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. Genesis 16:1-2
Scripture refers to the timeframe in which God made a promise to Abram was about 10 years, and Abram and Sarai took it upon themselves to ‘fulfill’ the prophecy given to them by God. However, this had very large and unintended consequences for the future nation of Israel. The intended son, who was to fulfill this prophecy, although not born, and despite the ‘forced’ effort to fulfill God’s prophecy by his parents (similar to today) now would have to contend with God’s promise to make Abram’s descendants as ‘numerous with the stars’ with an illegitimate heir. It was God’s intention of keeping this promise to Abram’s “God given” son, but God kept his promise to multiply ALL of Abram’s descendants, thus causing future problems for all involved.
We pick up after Hagar fled to the desert out of fear of Saria:
The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. And He said “Hagar, maid of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai. The angel of the Lord said to her “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” The angel of the Lord also told her I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude”. And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ishmael; because the Lord has given heed to your affliction. He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen”. Genesis 16:7-12
Ishmael, the illegitimate son of Abram and Hagar, was still entitled to the promise God made to Abram, but it ended up becoming a thorn in the side of the future nation of Israel. God demonstrated through this series of scriptures that He will keep his word, no matter how much interference is run by man’s way of thinking and acting. It also demonstrates what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into when we try to do God’s thinking for him. Scripture is rife with the struggle between these two half siblings and their offspring, and it fulfills passages in scripture, as well as Biblical principles that God keeps his promises.
The descendants of Ishmael eventually inhabited the majority of the Middle East, where they continue to live to this day. They are known as the Arabs, and their religious system is Islam. In considering the series of verses, this prophecy has been fulfilled in totality, as history has confirmed the constant infighting between these two clans. It is of no surprise that many in Islam want to see the total destruction of the Jewish nation and peoples, as they see them as the ‘illegitimate’ son of their father Abraham. As we can see, the struggle between the Jewish nation and Islam has been prophesized and fulfilled in scripture. This struggle will continue until the time of the Anti-Christ, and peace is not possible. We can see this through all the efforts put into the peace process, and it has been written that it will not occur.
The lessons to be gleaned from the likes of Abraham, considered one of the great fathers of the faith is, that no one is ‘above the law’ concerning God and His will. No matter what our perceived status may be, we are subject to His Holy will, and nothing we do can change the mind of God, who knows the beginning from the end.

WHY WE ARE NOT WINNING THE BATTLE FOR SOULS
George Offerman
There continues to be very passionate disputes over the “White House stunt” and the possible repercussions of this act. If one is truly interested in getting to the bottom of the issues and having a real dialogue on this subject, then the ‘stunt’ was well worth it. Unfortunately, there are those who will continue on in their close mindedness, on both sides, and will not want to look at how both Christianity and Islam have represented themselves throughout history and especially in the past few decades or so.
For those readers who have been following this blog for some time, you are very aware of the contempt I have for much of the Church hierarchy and how the Church has sold out to the state mainly through the 501 c 3 status. The Church has betrayed the basic tenets of the faith, and has ushered in a time of confusion, through the embrace of relativism. This has opened the door to demonic influence, and has not made Christianity very appealing to anyone. If we believe the words of Jesus “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER, EXCEPT THROUGH ME.” We need to represent Jesus as the God/man that he is. How can we pass on our faith when we can’t even agree on what it is?
Much of the world looks upon us as leaders in many different arenas. Whether we like it or not, this includes Christianity. Unfortunately, our society reflects more of a secular humanistic philosophy, and we send out very mixed messages concerning our faith and how we disregard even the basics, especially with legalized child killing. In fact, we have become experts at exporting our way of life, and much of the world is getting tired of the decadence. We need to be very mindful of the role we have and the influence in many differing areas concerning societal change.
Now before anyone gets the idea I am one of those “blame America” people for our country creating all the world problems, I am not. This country is always in the lead in helping others in a disaster, and has been solely responsible for all of the modern conveniences and survivability of so many in this world. But with great privilege comes great responsibility and because we have allowed ourselves to get complacent spiritually, we have distorted many of our gifts and have caused harm with them. It does no good, even for us, to acknowledge all our good, and cover over our misdeeds. This was covered in the full cup principle posting, and we do have huge problems as a country, like it or not.
Because we do not exist outside of Biblical principles, we too, have a cup, and it is filling. One of the four judgments is the sword, and dear reader, neither you nor I have the authority to tell God what he must do, or not do concerning his judgments. Whatever may befall our great country if/when we fill this cup will be just and true, according to our deeds. Because our Church has lost the way, and refuses to teach the truth, we are rudderless, and are inspiring few to join our ranks.
Many Muslims, trying to represent themselves as the RELIGION OF PEACE have a zeal for their beliefs that puts the average Christian to shame. Islam denies the deity of Christ and calls for the death of those who believe so. Like Christians, and Americans’, the Muslims have their own cup and are filling it. Despite denying Biblical principles, the Muslims are judged under the same law and subject to the same outcome as anyone else. So for us to have the truth, but not advance it as we have been mandated to do, only heaps more guilt onto us. We shame our Lord when we misrepresent, or just simply do not present the truth to those who need to hear it. By our own decadence, we are not saving souls; we are leading many away from the truth.

So for us to have the truth, but not advance it as we have been mandated to do, only heaps more guilt onto us. We shame our Lord when we misrepresent, or just simply do not present the truth to those who need to hear it. By our own decadence, we are not saving souls; we are leading many away from the truth.

WHY I WAS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
George Offerman
Andrew Beacham, who is associated with Randall Terry and the Insurrecta Nex team, decided to go in front of the White House on 9-11 and protest the latest ‘controversy’ over the acceptance, tolerance and spreading of Islamic influence in this country. It is interesting how from Obama on down, want to bend over backwards and press for country wide acceptance of the Muslims ‘constitutional right’ to build a victory mosque near ground zero, but want to deny our constitutional right of freedom of speech in declaring our beliefs on the subject.
I agreed to participate in this protest because it seems like the right thing to do. I am very tired of this RELIGION OF PEACE being presented as the beacon of peace, when our own president ‘warned’ us of the ‘violent repercussions and al queda recruitment tool’ that burning or destroying the ‘Holy book’ of the RELIGION OF PEACE could and would bring. It is more than ironic that we have the most to worry about from the RELIGION OF PEACE by doing nothing more than challenging them and questioning their motives without some veiled, or direct threat from the representatives of the RELIGION OF PEACE.
The Iman, in charge of the proposed Mosque, sent Obama a thinly veiled threat when he boldly declared “Moving the location of the Mosque WILL HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS”. Wow, it sounds like the RELIGION OF PEACE is making wholehearted efforts to reach out with an olive branch and attempting to appease this nation, whose birth was directly attributed to Judeao-Christian values. NOT! The RELIGION OF PEACE will utilize our laws against us in the name of expanding their influence, while having one of their main Iman’s in this country clamor for laws like the Sharia laws currently practiced in other countries. It seems the RELIGION OF PEACE will continue pressing and demanding our tolerance for their ways until they can impose their intolerant ways upon us.
When the RELIGION OF PEACE can hoodwink the majority that tearing up a book is worse than beheading, imprisoning, raping and pillaging MILLIIONS of people, such as in the Sudan over the past couple of decades, the majority has an issue with understanding basic morality. It is not the issue of destroying a book for the sake of destroying a book, the issue at hand is the fact the book that was destroyed calls for the active killing and/ or imprisonment of those who do not believe in that book. And the fact that our so called president validated that destroying the book will result in violence, goes to show the RELIGION OF PEACE has no intention of quelling any firestorm that follows ANY CRITICISM of their religion.
The RELIGION OF PEACE wants to place ‘extremists’ from Christianity on the same page as the Extremists’ in Islam. What it seems the RELIGION OF PEACE conveniently forgets is there are not now, or ever been suicide/homicide bombers from the Christian persuasion. There are not now or ever been whole sects of Christianity that have vowed to ‘wipe off the face of the map’ a whole people as many in the RELIGION OF PEACE are doing with Israel. There are not now, or ever been millions forced at the point of sword or gun to ‘convert or die’, or had their wives and children taken as slaves and concubines. There are not now, or ever been “Pastors’ going into Islamic capitols and making threats that if churches are not built near mosques or in prominent places ‘national security’ would be at stake. Christianity does not teach, nor ever has that a Christian should kill defenseless non combatants for not converting, or for the sake of creating terror. How is destroying a book on the same moral plane as these?
The RELIGION OF PEACE has no moral authority to discuss or dictate the moral and ethical resolve of peace and non violence to those it would eliminate if it had the chance. Based upon the past century or so, it is very clear that it is Islam, in general, that has been on a bloody footing, and not Christianity, as evidenced by their actions, and the threats spewed towards the west if the west ‘does not change its ways”. Keep this truism in mind, the next time someone wants to criticise Christians: Jesus, the founder of Christianity never killed anyone, and DIED to start Christianity. Mohammed, the “Prophet” PERSONALLY KILLED and personally ordered the death of thousands. Now, who is the more peaceful founder?

BURNING BIBLES AND QURANS: 'SHOULD WE CONDEMN ST. PAUL?'
By Randall Terry
Most of us are troubled – or at least concerned and perplexed – at the possibility of burning the Quran on September 11, 2010. When I heard the news, I was not happy.
The powerful from all four corners have rushed to condemn the planned burning of Qurans. I have prayed and searched the scriptures, and pondered the history of the early Church. I submit the following for your consideration.
Two questions should be asked: Is burning a Quran just? And next, is it prudent?
Historical and theological perspective – unclouded by current passions – can help answer these questions.
But first, let us not forget the that U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan recently burned hundreds of Bibles – printed in the two dominant tongues of the Afghan people – for fear of offending Muslims, and to keep the Bibles from being handed out to Afghan Christians and Muslims. See the CNN story.
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/05/20/us.military.bibles.burned/index.html
Ignoring this troubling hypocrisy, let us ponder Quran burning.
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, fire is a sign of the judgment of God.
Fire came down on Sodom and Gomorrah; Moses burned the golden calf; Joshua burned cities in Canaan; God ordered enemy chariots and “sacred” pagan idols to be burned in fire; Elijah called fire down to consume military men who came to capture him; when Israel forsook God, God brought the Babylonians to burn Jerusalem – including its palaces and Solomon’s temple – to the ground.
Christ said, “Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire….” (Matt. 3:10) and "I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled!” (Luke 12:49)
Similar to burning a Quran, St. Paul the Apostle oversaw the burning of “sacred” books on witchcraft (See Acts 19:19); and of course, the lake of fire is the final place of torment for all who reject the Lord and his Christ (See Rev. 21:8).
In the Christian era, the “sacred” places of pagan Greek and Roman deities were desecrated; many of their idols were defaced and burned. In Rome, the Pantheon was stripped of its idols; its niches were filled with Catholic icons, and an alter for the Holy Eucharist is now the central point of the interior.
Delphi and the Roman Forum – the respective centers of pagan Greco/Roman deities – both lie in ruins; the stones of their “sacred” temples were taken away to build Catholic churches, including St. Peter’s Cathedral.
The historical and theological (Judeo/Christian) proof is inescapable: the “sacred” books, images, and locations of false religions – and their false prophets and priests – are destined for the flames of this world or the next.
Let us beware, lest the current frenzy cloud our judgment.
Should we condemn St. Paul for burning witchcraft books? Should we condemn Joshua for burning the pagan cities of Canaan? Should we condemn the heroes of the Old Testament for burning pagan chariots and idols and desecrating pagan temples? Should we condemn the ancient Catholic Church that conquered the pagan Greco-Roman deities through much suffering, and then destroyed their idols and plundered their temples?
Should we condemn our spiritual forebears because they did not “show respect” to the religious beliefs and buildings and books of false religions?
And should we – I speak as a fool – condemn God himself for burning Sodom and Gomorrah, for ordering the burning of countless idols and temples, and for sending his enemies into the lake of fire for all eternity?
On a theological, metaphysical, and historical level, if Christianity is true, Islam cannot be true. And if Islam is not true, and Christianity’s history and theology repeats itself (as with the pagan religions of Greece and Rome), Delphi and the Roman Forum are the signposts of Islam’s future.
Now let us consider the prudence of Quran burning. Some Christians, politicians and military personnel have warned that burning Qurans on September 11 – the day that thousands of innocent Americans were dispatched into eternity by fire ignited by men inspired by the Quran – could cause American military personnel and Christians worldwide to be in physical danger.
Sadly, this is probably true. And herein lies the hypocrisy and irony.
Christ is blasphemed and belittled every day by great and small, yet no violence follows. The U.S. military burned hundreds of Bibles, and not a peep of protest was heard. In Muslim lands, Christian men are killed and imprisoned; Christian women are raped and enslaved; yet no cry is heard from Secretary of State Clinton, or President Obama, or the U.S. military, or the bulk of the U.S. media.
But when a small church in Florida plans to burn a Quran – a book which is arguably false; a book that has helped spur acts of violence and oppression for nearly 1400 years, including the atrocities of 9/11/2001 – the Western elite cries foul, and the Muslim world girds itself for war. The double standard is offensive.
The irony is that perhaps the “prudence” of burning Qurans will be seen in how the adherents of the “peaceful religion of Islam” react. Is Islam a “peaceful religion” or not? After all, if Islam is an venerable, peaceful religion, bringing peace and brotherhood and justice to the world through Sharia law, what could we possibly have to fear?

MORAL RELATIVISM RUBBED IN OUR FACES
George Offerman
There has been some disheartening news items in the past few days that clearly demonstrate how right is wrong and wrong is right, and the powers that be will do anything to shove this moral relativism down our throats and in our faces. The first instance involved George Grier, the Long Island man arrested for using and discharging an AK 47 in defending his family from 20 + MS 13 pieces of human waste after the human waste made many threats against him and his family. The second is Rahm Emanuel’s ‘coronation’ as the New Mayor of Chicago, and the third is the whole fiasco surrounding the Florida Pastor wanting to burn copies of the Koran.
George Grier was on his way to take his cousin back to the airport, when a gang of MS 13 human waste decided to show up to his house unannounced for tea and crumpets. Given Mr. Grier had other plans, the human waste felt offended they were not getting their tea and crumpets, and decided to threaten him. Mr. Grier, like most sensible people, took the threats seriously, and did what most free Americans ought to do, take responsibility for his own safety. The human waste then called for their own backup, and now 20 + pieces of human waste were openly threatening to “kill you, your family, and all your babies” (I guess it is legal to threaten to kill everyone in your family, especially if you are human waste). Mr. Grier discharged 4 rounds into the ground as a warning to the human waste, and then he was arrested for ‘reckless endangerment’.
Good for Mr. Grier, and shame on the state. The human waste did not show up for tea and crumpets, and did threaten this man. But the state now protects the lawless, and punishes the law abiding. Mr. Grier, being charged with several felonies, is looking at the possibility of prison, which will in effect be a death sentence for him. If he does no jail time, he will still lose his right to bear arms, and the human waste will now know he is disarmed and will most likely kill this man. If this occurs, it will be the state that will have the blood of this man on its hands. The state is too busy trying to protect the illegal alien population, who has imported this human waste of a gang and looks for reasons to punish anyone who dares to defend themselves. Mr. Grier, maybe you should have aimed higher.
The Chicago land line of thuggery continues. For whatever reason, Mayor Daley has decided to not run in the next election cycle, thus opening the door for Rahm Emanuel. The way the press has reported it, it is almost as if this position is Rahm’s for the taking, and the election process is moot. (In Chicago, it is almost a truism. I was born and spent most of my childhood just south of Chicago). There isn’t even a hint of “I need to prove what I can offer to the people of Chicago”, it is more like “I want and covet this job, Daley, get out of my way”. (Maybe Rahm is part of MS 13 and will move the main headquarters there after his ‘election’). The presumptuousness of these people is beyond description. They are so arrogant that they believe they can just declare their intent and get what they want. Maybe Rahm sent some ‘dead fish’ to Daley, and others to let them know ‘don’t mess with me’. This is a blatant show of abusive power by the elite, and pretty much an ‘up yours’ attitude towards the rule of law.
Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove world Outreach Center is proceeding on with his plans to burn copies of the Koran on 9-11. Everyone is coming out of the woodwork to ‘condemn’ this ‘outrageous and provocative act’, including General Petraeus, Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton. President Obama went as far as warning that it “will incite many Muslims to join al queda if this occurs”. Interesting comment made by Obama concerning this RELIGION OF PEACE. Where were these people when the RELIGION OF PEACE representatives decapitated Nick Berg, and posted the video on Al Jazeera and all over the internet? Where are these people when the RELIGION OF PEACE unequivocally declares Israel should be ‘blown off the map’? Why don’t other representatives of the RELIGION OF PEACE denounce Hamas? Whether or not one agrees with Pastor Jones in his burning the Koran, Pastor Jones does make a valid point when saying “When is enough enough” concerning the advancement and tolerance of this RELIGION OF PEACE in their violence towards those they consider enemies, and wanting to put up victory Mosques and/or Islamic symbols at ground zero and Shanksville, Pennsylvania? Could you even begin to imagine if anyone in Christianity did ANY of this? It would be outlawed world wide in short order. The RELIGION OF PEACE gets a free pass.
Things are stark raving crazy in our world, and it seems like the average individual is no longer able to process this information with any sort of objectivity. Things cannot possibly go on much longer with this insanity, and we can only continue that our Lord Jesus Christ intervenes, and either change hearts, or end this charade.
Finally, for those of you, who have doubts about the feasibility of two asteroids striking in a short period of time, check out this story:

HERMENEUTICS 101: THE FULL CUP PRINCIPLE
George Offerman
“I the Lord have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will have no pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign Lord”. Ezekiel 24:14
The Bible is unequivocal concerning the state of man, the nature of sin, and the unchanging nature of God. This posting will quote several scriptural verses to demonstrate the full cup principle from both the Old and New Testaments, which will fulfill the requirement that it not be taken out of context, and to demonstrate this principle continues to be in effect especially in the (near) future. God is unchanging and knows the beginning from the end. Our modern theology likes to paint God as somewhat distant and unconcerned with day to day activities and neglects to discuss the Judgment factors God will mete out in the future. The Church loves to talk about the Divine Mercy of God, but rarely, if ever, talks about the Divine Judgment of God.
“When the Lamb opened the fourth seal… I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth” Revelation 6:7-8
In our modern times, all manner of sin is taking place and is seemingly ignored by God due to what appears to be His silence. This has lead to much complacency in our Churches, as the word sin is rarely ever used, and the average Christians sees themselves as going to heaven regardless of what they do, because they are ‘saved”. For the churches, this only proves their dereliction of duty, and false teachings. Many people are ready to fall into a trap, and the Churches are encouraging them on this road. The idea that one has a ‘cup to fill’ goes against the ‘anything goes’ philosophy and theology of our modern times, and most scoff at the idea that God is anything but ‘love’ (read: tolerance of sin). What does the Bible have to say about this?
“Now, all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God WILL BRING EVERY DEED into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
“I have brought upon Jerusalem – every disaster I have brought upon it. You will be consoled when you see their conduct and their actions, for you will know that I HAVE DONE NOTHING IN IT WITHOUT CAUSE, declares the Sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 14:21-23.
“Then the Lord said to him (Abraham) Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will PUNISH THE NATION they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, FOR THE SINS OF THE AMORITES HAS NOT YET REACHED ITS FULL MEASURE”. Genesis 15:13-16
“No, it is on the account of the WICKEDNESS OF THESE NATIONS that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; BUT ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE WICKEDNESS OF THESE NATIONS...” Deuteronomy 9:4-5.
New Testament examples
“…you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when His righteous judgment will be revealed. God will give to each person according to what he has done. But for those who are self seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil there will be WRATH AND ANGER.” Romans 2:5,6,8
“For we all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” 2 Corinthians 5:10
Finally, the words of Jesus
“FILL UP, THEN, THE MEASURE OF THE SIN of your forefathers! You Snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?” Matthew 23:32-33
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. LOOK, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.” Matthew 23:37-38
Finally, for future references and continuity
“Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which WOULD BRING GOD’S WRATH TO COMPLETION” Revelation 15:1
There are numerous verses that demonstrate this principle and I leave it up to the reader to do his own research on this matter. But the above verses should clearly demonstrate God does have a limit in his patience and tolerance of sin. This is called Divine Justice. Divine Justice counterbalances Divine Mercy, and both must be present in order for perfect love to exist. God cannot turn a blind eye to the evils perpetuated against the innocent, and be considered a loving God if all are treated in the same manner. Love requires protection of the innocent and vulnerable, and if these evil people and beings had access to heaven, heaven would soon become hell, and God will not stand for that. That is why Satan has been banned from heaven, as all who choose to follow evil will be at the end of time.
The epitome of the full cup principle is that God is longsuffering, and desires all to be saved. However, there does come a time in which continued existence of those choosing to practice evil will only be destructive for the righteous, and it is at that point God breaks into history and Judges. The full cup principle covers not only the world (as will be seen in Revelation times), but nations, regions, communities and even individuals. One’s cup is full when continued existence bears no positive fruits, promptings by the Holy Spirit are rebuffed, and the heart is totally cold. Judgment is forestalled (Nineveh) if one repents prior to filling his cup, but once the cup is filled and that ‘unpardonable sin’ is committed, judgment proceeds.
The full cup principle exists for the safety of the righteous. If good and evil are on the same plane, God truly would be a cosmic liar and bully, as Satan has painted him out to be. God’s way is the superior way, and the only way, for that matter. Only the righteous will gain heaven and they attain this by living out the Biblical principles given to us by Jesus and the prophets. This also includes those who have yet to be born, and the shedding of innocent blood is the NUMBER ONE SIN in the Bible. The shedding of blood will bring about the harshest of judgments, and judgment will occur without atonement. Atonement can be accomplished only through repentance and changing the lawless ways. Do we see this happening in this country at this time? As a country, we do have a cup, and we fill it more every day as we allow the shedding of innocent blood to occur. There is an end point; that we can count on.
Why our churches shy away from teaching this principle is beyond my understanding. The more Christianity is liberalized, the worse our society gets, and there seems to be more fear and insecurity than ever before. The time we need to have the clearest and strongest teachings, which is now, seems to be the time of the greatest fall of the Church in their duty to be the ‘light of the world’. What would Jesus say, if He were to make an appearance in Washington, D.C? Would it sound something like this? (for your discernment)
“O AMERICA, AMERICA, you who kill the prophets and abort those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. LOOK, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.”
“I the Lord have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will have no pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign Lord”. Ezekiel 24:14
The Bible is unequivocal concerning the state of man, the nature of sin, and the unchanging nature of God. This posting will quote several scriptural verses to demonstrate the full cup principle from both the Old and New Testaments, which will fulfill the requirement that it not be taken out of context, and to demonstrate this principle continues to be in effect especially in the (near) future. God is unchanging and knows the beginning from the end. Our modern theology likes to paint God as somewhat distant and unconcerned with day to day activities and neglects to discuss the Judgment factors God will mete out in the future. The Church loves to talk about the Divine Mercy of God, but rarely, if ever, talks about the Divine Judgment of God.
“When the Lamb opened the fourth seal… I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth” Revelation 6:7-8
In our modern times, all manner of sin is taking place and is seemingly ignored by God due to what appears to be His silence. This has lead to much complacency in our Churches, as the word sin is rarely ever used, and the average Christians sees themselves as going to heaven regardless of what they do, because they are ‘saved”. For the churches, this only proves their dereliction of duty, and false teachings. Many people are ready to fall into a trap, and the Churches are encouraging them on this road. The idea that one has a ‘cup to fill’ goes against the ‘anything goes’ philosophy and theology of our modern times, and most scoff at the idea that God is anything but ‘love’ (read: tolerance of sin). What does the Bible have to say about this?
“Now, all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God WILL BRING EVERY DEED into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
“I have brought upon Jerusalem – every disaster I have brought upon it. You will be consoled when you see their conduct and their actions, for you will know that I HAVE DONE NOTHING IN IT WITHOUT CAUSE, declares the Sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 14:21-23.
“Then the Lord said to him (Abraham) Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will PUNISH THE NATION they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, FOR THE SINS OF THE AMORITES HAS NOT YET REACHED ITS FULL MEASURE”. Genesis 15:13-16
“No, it is on the account of the WICKEDNESS OF THESE NATIONS that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; BUT ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE WICKEDNESS OF THESE NATIONS...” Deuteronomy 9:4-5.
New Testament examples
“…you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when His righteous judgment will be revealed. God will give to each person according to what he has done. But for those who are self seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil there will be WRATH AND ANGER.” Romans 2:5,6,8
“For we all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” 2 Corinthians 5:10
Finally, the words of Jesus
“FILL UP, THEN, THE MEASURE OF THE SIN of your forefathers! You Snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?” Matthew 23:32-33
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. LOOK, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.” Matthew 23:37-38
Finally, for future references and continuity
“Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which WOULD BRING GOD’S WRATH TO COMPLETION” Revelation 15:1

NOW SOROS IS GETTING INTO THE ACT
George Offerman
For those of you who believe George Soros, better known as a scumbag’s scumbag, has little to nothing to do with legalized child killing, think again and do your homework. When this piece of human filth gets involved in any activity, destruction usually follows accompanied with a strong sulphuric smell. There are not too many people who embody evil like this scumbag does, and now that he has his serpent like gaze fixed on the tea party, all hell is likely to break loose. This scumbag embodies everything the modern Babylon is trying to do, and he definitely is one of the very visible elite that hide little in the sense of what his intentions are.
Soros was the main catalyst for the Asian currency crisis of 1997, when he shorted the dominant currency and in effect, financially ruined hundreds of thousands of people as well as nearly plunging the world into an economic depression. This scumbag pocketed billions on the backs of this very large population and the powers that be protected him. Soros reportedly pocketed 2 billion in 2000 when he shorted the British Pound. This scumbag has stuck his blood soaked paws in too much of the world’s business, and has steered very evil legislation through this country.
Soros is an extremist in his socialistic agenda, and has funded or founded organizations that are radically environmentalist, anti American and pro U.N., gun control, marijuana legalization, and taxpayer funded abortion on demand. It is said by many, that Soros ‘owns’ the Democratic Party and fairly well has his way concerning their platform. Give this scumbag circumvents the law on a regular basis, his current target of the tea party better be prepared to have a war declared on it that it has not seen up to this point.
Elitists like Soros do not want to see the sheeple awaken, and become a threat to their plans of a one world government. The tea party threatens nearly all of their plans and these scumbags do not want to take any chances that the ‘riff raff’ derail the efforts put in up to this point. For those who still do not believe there is an evil organization out there bent upon the destruction of what we hold dear, there is a term for you: cognitive dissonance. People like Soros are so out in the open with their agendas, that only the most uninformed can deny what is right in front of their eyes. The powers that be, lead by Soros are out to destroy the tea party, as well as freedoms in this country.
The good news about this for all who follow the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers are that whatever they hate and try to destroy is something we ought to be fighting for and preserving at nearly any cost. Clearly, these idiots have already made false claims against the tea party people that have proven to be fictitious, yet they are given credibility, and many of the still sleeping sheeple believe them. For anyone awake, the crazier these idiots become, the closer the tea party people are getting to their agenda, and they will do whatever they can to get their evil plans back on schedule.
Soros and his ilk ought to be run out of this country (and world if possible) on a rail. This is a person who cannot stand this country, yet made his fortune through our free market, and our freedoms that allowed him to emigrate and be successful. Soros has done nothing but pay back these opportunities won by the blood of others with contempt for and destruction of one of the greatest countries to have ever existed on this planet. Given the crimes this scumbag has committed and has not been punished for it, it should come as no surprise to anyone how low he will go and what he will be willing to do to get his agenda across. I will give you one hint: you will never be able to think that diabolically to come up with his strategy. God bless (and help) the tea party.

HERMENEUTICS IN TODAY'S WORLD
George Offerman
I have been appreciative for the positive feedback from the hermeneutics series, and decided to make some clarification outside of the normal Wednesday postings. It seems people are hungry for sensible teachings that involve neither ‘fractured scripture’ nor sensationalism, which seem to be too prevalent today. I suppose it is really ingrained in human nature to be seen as ‘the man’ and have all the answers. The Bible, when read properly, should be understood by anyone at anytime in history, and anyone would have the ability to apply its lessons to any situation we will ever encounter. What seems to be such a simple process is made too complex by those who want to convince the average person that they are too stupid to figure it out on their own.
Proper interpretation of the Bible not only guides an individual in his life, but more importantly, allows himself to understand the times he lives in, as well as understanding the nature of how the Bible precepts play themselves out, and demonstrates how alive the faith is, and how personally involved God is in our lives. For instance, God desire for us to be free, but freedom comes with great responsibility. When we give our freedom away, as is occurring in our country today, we become slaves to those we give this power to. This plays into Satan’s hands, and only results in misery and discord. This is a universal principle, and history backs this 100%. How many slave states have persevered throughout history? None. But man keeps trying anyway, because that is the nature of rebellion. That is why the Babylon of Revelation will be so evil.
Satan also wants to convince the average person that he is inconsequential, that he is a ‘small person’ and cannot do or think for himself. There will be many a ‘small person’ that will have very exalted positions in heaven by virtue they took care of an ailing spouse, child or parent, when it would have been easier to ‘dump’ them onto the state. They will be exalted, because they gave their most precious commodity, time, in the greatest service to their fellow man of their own free will. This does not go unnoticed in God’s economy, and most likely their eternal reward will be freedoms magnified infinitely, compared to what seems like being ‘chained’ in this lifetime. Many who are magnified in this lifetime may very well be heaven’s janitors (if there is such a thing). Believing one is inconsequential is demonic theology and goes against what God has stated about His creation.
This age is time limited. Satan has many convinced that the ‘status quo’ is perpetual, and that nothing is going to change. We see this reflected in the Churches and political arena at this time, and most of the laity have given up or have bunkered down. There are too many things wrong in our society and world for this age to go on perpetually, and we are seeing huge fissures growing in the dam, which is near bursting. It is comical to see those wanting to believe things are alright, and that we will ‘get back on track’ by our own efforts. (As they say in New York: fuggedaboudit) The age as we know it is coming to an end right before our eyes and no amount of BS from the MSM, Church, politician or any other false source will change this fact. Whether it is the start of Revelation will be seen, but the current state of affairs is too evil, and the Living God will break into history and make the necessary changes so that those who have yet to be born will have their time to complete their God given missions.
Unlike what many have stated or believe, we are privileged to be living at this time. With great darkness comes great opportunity. We all bear crosses and there is no way around the hardships and sufferings of this life. Satan has infected our belief system by instigating relativism and the idea that life should be easy, and when it is not, it’s someone else’s fault, and we need to sue them. Standing up for the faith, and seeing others become inspired to act due to our own actions brings the greatest joy one can imagine. This doesn’t happen in ‘good times’, but in times of adversity. It also brings about abundance in blessings and a great awareness of what is happening in the current situation and what actions to take. All of these things help us grow in our faith and prepare us for eternity.
In short, the Bible is affirmed by simply observing what is going on all around us. Only the deluded would argue against this (and there are many who are deluded) and it breeds confusion. Those who dare to walk in faith have great rewards, especially now, and it only affirms the precepts and tenets of the faith. The more one walks in faith, the more the world looks foolish, and with this awareness, the individual has a tendency to see himself once again as a sojourner through this life. We are called to love people and use things, not use people and love things (including status). When this occurs, peace and harmony are present. Then we are on the route to God pleasing and healthy living. The Book gives the directions; we only need to follow it.

HEY RAHM, DON'T LET THIS CRISIS GO TO WASTE
George Offerman
There has been a lot of analysis over the motives and ‘mental health status’ of gunman and explosives expert James Lee. What is most interesting about the talking heads and liberal mainstream media types is that Mr. Lee was angered over Discovery’s programming that seemed to ‘glorify’ large families, and unsound environmental programming. Evidently, Mr. Lee was a strong proponent of population control, and decided to demonstrate the nature of his beliefs through the threat of violence. No one in the MSM or any of the talking heads are looking at the ‘liberal influence’ or how the ‘screeching Al Gore’ influenced him to do what he did. If Mr. Lee even breathed within one mile of any position held by the tea party, you can bet your life savings X 10 all hell would break loose, and Obamination would be making a teleprompter speech from the oval office calling for massive increases in homeland security to take care of the ‘home grown terrorists’.
Now, for those who don’t partake of the government distributed and funded kool aid, Mr. Lee appeared to be mentally imbalanced. Unlike what many in the government would like you to believe, we as free willed human beings are actually responsible for our behavior. Us and us only. Yes we can be influenced by our environment, but we are ultimately responsible for ourselves. That is why God gave us a brain, but unfortunately our modern society and education policies has dumbed down the population to such an extent, that most people would dispute such a simple notion as pure nonsense. Mr. Lee was exposed to this liberal material, and through whatever distorted mental process he filtered it, he came to the conclusion he must use violence to make his point. This decision was Mr. Lee’s and Mr. Lee’s only, and regardless of how off base Mr. Gore and Mr. Moore and others are, Mr. Lee chose, using his free will, to step way over the line. End of story.
Now, it will be very interesting to see how Rahm Emanuel and co. reacts to this event. My guess it will be they believe this person is insane, due to the fact that believing in Mr. Gore, Mr. Moore and the premise that the world is overpopulated and that all infants are parasites, and thus need to be eliminated is considered a very sane position, and the only way anyone holding the party line could actually be VIOLENT would be insanity, not believing in this philosophy. So, we will see if Rahm is able to spin and use this ‘crisis’ to somehow demonize the tea party people, Christianity or maybe the weevils of capitalism, and not enough regulation for programming on cable television. The one thing these clowns will never do is to discuss Mr. Lee’s beliefs and be critical of them, or look to ‘demonize’ those who pedal them non stop on state sponsored media.
Those who can think for themselves will understand clearly that Mr. Lee acted on his own accord. There is no need to blame anyone else, as no one else is to blame. We have information bombardment like never before in the history of the world, and it is our job to sift through the garbage and find those occasional golden nuggets that will sustain us and promote better life. People have a right to present their thoughts and beliefs, and I have a right to disregard and disagree with them. As people of free will given by God, we are the ones who need to develop our abilities to discern, and we do not need to depend on government thugs to tell us what we think and how we need to behave. I can only hope and pray that this truly mentally ill individual is not portrayed into something he is not and in turn have these thugs then promote the need to take more God given rights away from us. Let’s hope this is one crisis that even these thugs will recognize ought to just die on the spot.

I can only hope and pray that this truly mentally ill individual is not portrayed into something he is not and in turn have these thugs then promote the need to take more God given rights away from us. Let’s hope this is one crisis that even these thugs will recognize ought to just die on the spot.

HERMENEUTICS 101: THE TOWER OF BABEL
George Offerman
The story of the tower of Babel falls within what is known as the Table of nations, which is in effect a genealogy of Noah’s descendents through Shem, Ham and Japheth. If one follows the genealogy far enough, they will reach the line of Cush, whose son, Nimrod was known as the great hunter, and spearheaded the eventual construction of the first city of Babylon. Nimrod’s motives for building this city were evil in intent, and Nimrod is fairly well known as the ‘father’ of the first of the mystery religions that have permeated from Babylon and ever since. This story, despite being brief, is very important in that it effectively sets the stage for all future false religions and pursuits of forbidden knowledge. The story of the tower of Babel follows:
"Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.' And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.' Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:1-9)
The tower of Babel was man’s first attempt at a one world government only a few generations after the flood. With Satan’s knowledge that God promised to never destroy man again through a flood, Satan began his reinfecting the lineage of man by defying what God had requested of man: to scatter and populate the earth. The construction of Babel represented two things that defied God; 1) that man was to be a sojourner and 2) man was to worship God in spirit and in truth. By building a city, man could now be enslaved and controlled, and by building a tower with the intent to ‘reach heaven’ man in essence opened the door to spiritual deception by building this monument to glorify himself, as well as access areas in which were off limits to him. By virtue this group did this for selfish reasons, Satan was able to take control and guide these efforts, and as such successfully introduced the foundation for all false religions that continue to exist to this day.
The efforts to build this City and Tower by what was considered the mightiest man at the time, Nimrod, is a reflection of things to come in the new Babylon, but onto that in a moment or so. The attempt to create a one world organization is defiance against the will of God and will ultimately end in failure, because a one world organization ENSLAVES men, not frees them, and God demands freedom for his creation. Satan enslaves, and through fear, Satan is able to accomplish his goals of enslavement, which breeds contempt and anger, which results in sin. So it will be at the time of Revelation, when fear will rule, and man again, will be ripe for another ‘mighty man’ to arise and take over.
Since the time of the first tower of Babel, man has had a propensity to worship on ‘high places’ denoting demonic influences. All mystery religions can be traced back to Babylon, and that is why in Revelation the City of Babylon is referred to as ‘the harlot’ in which the world fornicated with. Man has preferred to worship at the alter of Babylon than of God, and as such, has been misguided in nearly every conceivable way, similar to our current times. All of the religions have been infected or infiltrated by Satan, and thus, misrepresent the true nature of God, and thus qualify as Babel, which means confusion. When the idea is accepted that ‘all paths lead to God’, and by extension salvation, there is not much incentive to follow the straight and narrow, and those who do look ridiculous and stupid. That is what Babylon was about, and what the future Babylon will be.
The lessons of this story are numerous and give us much insight into the thoughts of God and glimmers into the future (eschatology). Since the time of Babel, man has not had the ability to speak as ‘one’, although the advent and abilities of the computer is changing that. God has revealed to us that if we are of one mind, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. This is in both the good and evil arenas of life, and it ultimately requires actions and beliefs in what one is doing. Sometime in the future, most likely through the use of computers, man once again will have the ability to be one in his endeavors, and will recreate Babylon. This time, he will be successful, albeit for a short time, and this new creation will be the most intense and encompassing one world theocratic government, which will have both the city (secular) with the tower (religious) and will glorify man and his accomplishments more than God.
We are seeing now more than ever, the pieces coming into place for a one world government. We are also seeing the elimination of all established religions in favor of secular humanism with its doctrines of scarcity, relativism and intolerance towards those who do not ‘believe’ or are not considered enlightened. We are seeing increases in persecution all over the world of the faith, coupled with outright mockery and blatant violations of the basic tenets of our faith. If this is not a recreation of the Babylon of old, then I don’t know what is.
