PART 1 THE END TIMES ! CAN YOU SEE THE SIGNS?

PART 1
                                                   Rome or America

To lose your Soul as a Great Nation, destruction follows and nobody seems to perceive its means of arrival. A beautiful Nation losing her Love for the LORD, the very thing that has caused her greatness and Majesty. She is blindly running headlong towards the great abyss that flourishing nations before her found themselves toppling into. Once a Powerful Nation, reduced to little more than obscure memories of her existence. Never to be seen again, because she sold her birthright to the highest bidder, expediting her demise. Her former Grandeur viewed like the landscape of some distant land that once was, but is now a mire shadow of the dream she aspired to become. Tossed onto the scrap heap of time, never to be seen or marveled at for the excellence for which she began, but merely besmirched as a footnote in the annuls of time. Disregarded as a failure! Relegated to the past, never to lift her head from the crucible of history, nor realizing her incapacity to comprehend the extinguishing of Liberty's flame. Her citizens DEAD to reason, suffering from the obesity of luxury, immorality and callous indignation to her first love, The Lord! This most dangerous of roads paved with great riches, indifference, apathy, entitlement, corruption, and finally sold for a price to foreigners. With fear and trembling she contemplates the weight of a tax laden citizenry on which she rode, as she ponders the death approaching on the Horizon. Only in the final moments of her destruction does she scream, "The Road"! Only now, in her final moments of existence does she understand "Once the road was traversed, there was no return, for it was but One Way! And it led to HER Destruction!

Matthew 16 (King James Version) Matthew 16:1-4   1The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

Sin brings storms and tempests into the soul, into the family, into churches and nations. You can clearly see from what JESUS declared to the Pharisees and Sadducees that they were a "wicked and adulterous generation. They were living the way they wanted, and not the way GOD had instructed. These men knew Jewish traditions and the Laws of Moses, and yet [Like America], they continued to do that which was Evil and Wicked. In spite of the knowledge of Righteousness, they continued in their Sins.  The same situation exist right now in America! We have the knowledge of what GOD has said is RIGHTEOUSNESS, yet we fail to do what is right before GOD. Sin is stupefying, and we are to take heed lest at any time our hearts are hardened by the deceitfulness of it. Are these the Signs of the END TIMES? To be in the End Times, does it just require a Wicked and Evil Generation to exist? Many have existed long before our short lived nation. So what does the Bible say about the Signs of The End Times? Who will be able to recognize and understand the times for which they live, and who will not? Is it clearly stated in this Holiest of Books, what kind of signs we are to look for?  The BIBLE has the answer to these questions and much more. 
 
JESUS declares in the fourth (4) verse of Matthew 16 that they were "Wicked and Adulterous". This tells us that sin had  BLINDED them. We know this because in the previous verse three (3) he questions their blindness by asking, "O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times"?  They couldn't even recognize their sinful condition nor see clearly enough to understand that, Jesus was "The Messiah" spoken of by the Prophets!  Are you Blinded by the Idols of this world? Idols like the lewd, suggestive, pornographic music video's, whorish clothing worn by the mass's, your cars, homes, education, vulgarity of the people, greed of your leaders, and the disingenuousness of the media and people in general! You seek wealth first and not the Lord! Jehovah has said, "You have taken Idols into your Hearts and put the stumbling block of your iniquity before your face. Why should you ask me for anything"? You are all estranged from GOD because of your Idolatry. Are you caught up in the accumulation of wealth for all the wrong reasons? Do you believe in your heart that you can live the way that you please, because you live in modern times, and your life style has nothing to do with HOLY GOD? What are you believing in? These societal conditions that we see today have occurred, due in large part to the ever increasing rejection of CHRIST! This generation grew up without the BIBLE in school, and very little knowledge of The LORD! Clearly, these things can cause a Nation to be blinded and not recognize the times in which they live. 

Matthew 24 (King James Version) 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Here's another Sign to consider. If you say you believe in GOD or JESUS the CHRIST and are a true Christian, how is it that you can't see the time in which we live is the Wicked and Evil time that JESUS warned about. Iniquity "does abound" everywhere, and people who claim too be Christians, not only participate freely in it, but are quick to defend their actions. You must become a true believer of the Gospel, and not just a believer in some Church or Denomination. Your salvation "HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DENOMINATION OR WHETHER OR NOT YOU TOOK COMMUNION! It has EVERYTHING to do with your OBEDIENCE TO WHAT is WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE, AND TO WHAT GOD HAS SAID IS RIGHTEOUSNESS! To be obedient is to follow what he has directed all of us to do. That is to follow his Commandments! Period! Our Holy GOD has called the things that man would create or perform on HIS or HER own "THE SINFUL NATURE OF MAN". For sin, there is a punishment! You only have to look at the news and see the results of Sin. Christ spoke of the wrath to come, which is beyond comparison and worse than the many hours, weeks and years of pain, some have to suffer as a consequence of their unlawful indulgences. And if such afflictions are severe, how dreadful will be the everlasting punishment of the wicked!

Another sign of the End Times can be found at the end of the verse listed above. Matt. 24:12  "the love of many shall wax cold". You only have to look at current events to see that Love is fleeting. Take the case of little Caylee Anthony or the toddler Riley Ann Sawyers. Both mother's are presumed to have murdered these sweet innocent babies. These are just two (2) examples of when a soul gets away from the Laws of our GOD, such as America has been doing! When a person ignores the Commandments of GOD and refuses to be obedient to HIM, the penalty is pain, suffering, murder, lewdness, hatred, unnatural lusts', lying, deception, and all the evils of the heart. As Americans, do you want this Nation to be Destroyed? I mean literally, or, have you become so pompous to believe that its improbable or impossible. Some of the things that are happening to us right now, such as the breakdown of the family and economy, lack of honor in our politicians, mothers murdering their born and unborn, teachers having sex with students, can be traced back to children growing up without the knowledge of GOD. When you vote for a politician and you can't recognized the truth from a lie, this reflex your distance from Holy GOD. Jesus is the "Light of the World", and The Holy Spirit is "The Spirit of Truth"! If you can't discern fact from fiction then, YOU DO NOT HAVE CHRIST IN YOU! 

John 14:17 (King James Version)the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

Remember, to be Saved is to believe in your heart and confess with your mouth. Believing in your heart means, that you will believe the entire Bible. This brings to the Christian obedience to the word, which is the Bible! Only through this acceptance of Christ can a person truly be saved. If you confess with your mouth, but don't do the things that GOD has commanded us to do, then you are fooling yourself, and the truth is not in you. For JESUS said:

Mark 7:6 (King James Version)
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

DECEPTION IS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK! Look at your television at any given time, and you will see News Anchors, Politicians, Directors, Producers, so called Christian Church's, many well know Pastors and Evangelist, Commercial Advertisers, and many others, all of them deceiving the masses. Here we are in the End Times, and the majority of them are not preaching anything about where we are today.

Matthew 24 (King James Version) Matthew 24:3-5 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Revelation 12:9 (King James Version)   9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Who is getting GOD's church ready for the events to come? Just like the Sham Wow commercial, where the guy pours cola on a swath of rug, and then blots it up with his product. If you watch closely at that scene, he lifts up the rug to show the cola. When he puts it back down, the cola has been already wiped clean, before he starts to blot it with the product. People are being deceived on every front. When you voted in this last election, did you really get what you thought you were getting? Or have you noticed that you were Deceived! AGAIN I ask you, how can you proclaim that you are a CHRISTIAN, AND VOTE FOR A MAN THAT BELIEVES IN THE KILLING OF INNOCENT BABIES, SODOMITES TO BE JOINED IN MARRIAGE, AND A "DO AS I TELL YOU TO DO NOT AS I DO" MENTALLITY? He tells the Nation that we have to turn our thermostats down, while he turns his up to 78 degrees. And the excuse is, "because he is from Hawaii". I thought that he lived in Chicago, one of the coldest winter places on the east coast! Obama represents everything that JESUS and HOLY GOD said not to do! HYPOCRITES, ALL who voted for him!  Jesus said to the believer [Christians] "Do Not be Deceived"! Yet Christians everywhere, are being deceived.

Obama may not be an atheist in conviction, however, he does share some of its assumptions within his temperament. Liberals, Marxist/Communist , Socialist, all share the atheists' beliefs in one way or another. On the one hand, Obama claims to be a Christian. On the other hand, "We are no longer a Christian Nation". CLICK HERE   Everything that he speaks would seem to be the opposite of what he does or says. He cannot deny the fact that his mother raised him with her atheist views, which "disbelieves or denies the existence of GOD". Though he later found the Muslim religion -introduced by his father- to be more enchanting, he didn't embrace his Muslim belief until he went to Africa and attended school. Because Obama's mother was an atheist, and mentorship came from Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, and add to this the church doctrine of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, you get a mishmash of philosophies that has shaped him to be at best Lukewarm if he were a true Christian, and Irreligious. An Adulteration, which are the cause of his many distorted policies/doctrines and beliefs. He has deceived many here in America and abroad.

Revelation 3:15-17 (King James Version) 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Matthew 24:11 (King James Version) 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

After sitting in Rev. Wrights' radical Marxist church for twenty years -which Obama calls Christianity- can we really know what this man believes in? He certainly didn't show us the real Barrack Hussein Obama during the campaign. Although, those with the HOLY SPIRIT saw the truth. He knew that he would most likely not get elected. Little glimpse's of what he really believe are showing up in him. Take the recent act of bowing to king Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Because of his Muslim beliefs he bowed before the Saudi King, relegating the American Presidency to the status of mire servant. His handling to-date of Iran and North Korea is bordering on criminal and pose a great danger to Israel and the United States. These are perfect examples of the dangerous road that he is paving, because of this miscellany of philosophies, and will have dire consequences for our Country. Obama is the "PUNISHMENT FOR AMERICA, BECAUSE OF HER UNBELIEF AND ABANDONMENT OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF JEHOVAH (THE SELF EXISTENT ONE)". How could the Christians and Jews who voted to put this man into office not see through him from the very beginning? Why were they so blinded by his speech that they couldn't recognize him for what he really stands for? A "Counterfeit Christian" who is indifferent to the Jewish Nation of Israel, and has said recently in private talks over the telephone with Benjamin Netanyahu, "that if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear sights, the United States would blame Israel for it, and any war that is started". In other words, for the first time in the history of our country, the Administrative Branch of the United States Government is saying that, "Israel should just wait to be attacked by the mad man of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad".  GOD does not go back on HIS WORD! He is not a Man that he should lie concerning Israel or his promises:
Exodus 19:5-6 (King James Version) 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
I have often questioned what America would look like if atheist or the current administration were in total control of everything. After pondering this question and looking at what they believe in or don't believe in, I have come to the conclusion that we would have a world that looked a lot like the movie "Demolition Man". Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes starred in this futuristic feature. The movie was about the character John "Demolition Man" Spartan, a cop who is falsely convicted of mass murder in 1996 while trying to rescue hostages from an merciless urban terrorist Simon Phoenix, played by Wesley Snipes. Both are frozen and incarcerated in a Cryogenic Prison. However, both John Spartan and Simon Phoenix are thawed out for parole well into the 21st century. During the time that both were frozen away in Cryo-prison, Los Angeles' culture and society had dramatically changed into what can only be described as a "State Owned Government" or "Socialist Government". The city became a society where on the surface everybody is peaceful, sterile, kind, and understanding, to the point of pansies. A city government that was autocratic, and human behavior was regulated by laws that were conceived and dictated by one man. Even though the citizenry secretly desired individuality, distinctiveness, flavor, and originality, controlled like sheep they had lost their initiative and excepted it without question. With the exception of those who disagreed with the system, who were outcast of a once majority. The rulers were men wearing what looked to be "Kimono's", and exhibited "Effeminate Liberal" mannerisms that we see glimpse's of today. Atheist, Liberals, Marxist , Socialist: it doesn't matter. Use whatever term you choose, they all share the same theme, "No room for belief in GOD". Liberals and Socialist like atheist do not want any boundaries in life, especially when it comes to aberrant behavior, other than the boundaries that they themselves set. Science is a good example of how the Liberal and Atheist try to convince the rest of us to see life from their GODLESS  point of view. For instance, take the subject of creation or evolution.
Listen at this leftist scholar describe the Atheist interpretation of why stellar matter is a part of the human body.  Click on the Link: Atheist Scholar Explanation of Existence                                 
 ELOHIM (THE CREATOR) SAYS:

Matthew 13:15 (King James Version) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them

This scholars hypothesis is incomplete. He recognizes -as do we Christians- that stellar matter is a part of everything that exists in the known universe, including mankind. He presents his argument and his touted scientific calculations as the evidence proving that science and HOLY GOD are separate from each other, and this enlightenment is cause for exuberance and hope for mankind. This exposes how short sighted these atheist and the many scientist who also hold this view to be truth really are. 

Genesis 1: 2-4 (King James Version) 2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

The truth is that since Genesis 1:1-4 there would have to be stellar matter in everything including human beings. If we look at science from the text of the Bible, we get a complete and undeniable knowledge that the Bible can be used to guide science, not the other way around. Science is proving everything that the Bible has said about how GOD created the universe. "GOD said let there be light". This fits right with the Big Bang theory that states that at some point the universe was microscopic in size, and in an instant the universe as we see it today exploded from that which was not seen, into that which is seen. This explosion when it took place, rocketed this stellar matter in every direction. It was "Spoke" into existence from the same source, GOD ALMIGHTY!

Psalm 19:1 (King James Version) 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Corinthians 4:6 (King James Version) 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Man was made from the same matter, because the Bible tells us that we were made from the dust of the ground. Now his assumption is true, to the degree that it was GOD that made the Heavens and The Earth, and Everything in it. When it came to Man Genesis 1: 26-27 you see that man was fashioned by GOD in his own image.

Genesis 1:26-27 (King James Version) 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 2:7 says: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

All of those who are in the Administration of this Government share some parts of this scientists' way of  thinking. Thinking like an atheist, liberal, or marxist relieves one from being under the commandments of the Holy Bible. As you observe the appointments to government that he is making and the ever increasing number of czars that he is using to circumvent the Congress and Law, Americans should be "Screaming From The Hilltops and Protesting Loudly".  They embrace very radical liberal philosophies that stand against the things of ADONAI (THE LORD).  With Obama you get this counterfeit confluence of beliefs that shapes his understanding and perceptions of right and wrong, good and evil.

Karl Marx was an communist socialist. What the Obama White House are attempting to do is, "Destroy America from Within" using the same atheist, socialist play book that Marx himself espoused. They know that they can't attack this country's fundamental beliefs that have made us what we are, in a frontal attack. WAKE UP PEOPLE OF AMERICA, AND SCREAM NO!!!! WITH A COLLECTIVE VOICE! Here is the essence of what Obama is doing. Listen closely!  how can he not be an Atheist when he says Obama is using a strategy from the play book of Karl Marx. He is trying to obfuscate reality from the masses in order to change the way in which we create wealth, which provides for our materialist needs. According to Marx, reality is governed by economic needs (historical materialism). Economic reality develops according to Hegel's dialectical principles; that is, reality must deny itself in order to reach a higher degree of being. In application, this principle means that the present organization of society must be destroyed (even through violent revolution, if necessary, because only through such destruction can a better political, economic, and social organization be achieved.

Obama and the people behind him, have incorporated this philosophy into their legislative actions and the image that they try and project about America. We have always been a Christian Nation and will remain so, as long as there're men and women who speak out against such treachery. Every time you hear them use the words "Crisis" or the term "Unacceptable Situation" watch out for the method by which they will try and take power away from the people! Their goal is to Bankrupt America so that it can be "Reshaped" into the atheistic autocratic state that existed in the movie "Demolition Man". They will use these opportunities to over load the economic system in order for it to fail. America's dominance in the world comes from ALL MIGHTY GOD. People like Obama, who believes that America is generally evil and the cause of all the problems in the world, also believe that we have to much wealth. Here is what JEHOVAH MEKODDISHKEM (The Lord Who Sanctifies You) has commanded, and America was partakers of, until recently:

Genesis 27:29 (King James Version) 29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Deuteronomy 28:2 (King James Version) 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

This was why America has had the blessings to gain so much as a Nation. The Liberal, Atheist, and Marxist (whichever you prefer) believes opposite of what GOD has said about how he delivers blessings and the selectiveness of his Blessings. Indeed, they don't believe in HIM at all! Those Nations who Honor the Commandments of ALMIGHTY GOD will be Blessed. And those who do not will be cursed. The people who have brought the punishment of El ROI (The GOD Who See's) upon us are the very ones who prescribe to these wicked philosophies and incorporate them into their brand of politics. Many do not claim the titles of these warped philosophies, but they certainly have leanings towards them and believe some -if not all- of what they represent. They have been worming their way into our political system for years, as Senators and Congressmen, sitting in the seat of power. Waiting patiently for the right moment. Now they hold sway over us through weak, corrupt, and spiritually evil men and women who run our government.
