Fact is stranger then fiction, or so the saying goes...

With CERN firing up the Hadron Collider this year in March, the facility and the nuclear physics research in progress there have been brought to the forefront of many scientifically inquisitive people.

Many opinions, assumptions, thoughts, and occultic motivations have been outlined for all to take in and digest...

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) had been shutdown to implement system upgrades after issues in 2008 caused it to fail. It was later turned back up at a reduced efficiency. This latest shutdown after the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, had been commenced to implement hardware upgrades which would allow increased loads on the system. Not being a nuclear physicist, I have no clue as to the procedure, processes or experiments, but you can investigate them for yourself at the CERN website or get a third party view of the LHC turn up from IEEE Spectrum.

Here is a brief synopsis from the IEEE Spectrum website, outlining the initial issues:

The LHC got off to an inauspicious start, and that bad beginning explains some upgrades. In September 2008 during a final commissioning phase, and before the accelerator reached its planned maximum energy of 14 teraelectron volts, one of the more than 10,000 interconnections for wires supplying power to the superconducting magnets of the LHC failed, causing an arc that melted through a helium line and damaged a several-hundred-meter stretch of the system. After a year of repairs, the LHC started up and eventually reached a reduced collision energy of 7 TeV.

What caught my attention was my wife's discovery of the statue of a Hindu god which is at the CERN facility.

A short explanation of how the statue came to CERN is below, an excerpt from a post at http://www.fritjofcapra.net/shivas-cosmic-dance-at-cern/

On June 18, 2004, an unusual new landmark was unveiled at CERN, the European Center for Research in Particle Physics in Geneva — a 2m tall statue of the Indian deity Shiva Nataraja, the Lord of Dance. The statue, symbolizing Shiva’s cosmic dance of creation and destruction, was given to CERN by the Indian government to celebrate the research center’s long association with India.

The post above describes the god as "Shiva Nataraja, the Lord of Dance". When my wife investigated this name, she was awed in disbelief as she read the definition and characteristic of this Hindu deity:

1. Nataraja "நடராசர்" "నటరాజు" "ನಟರಾಜ" "नटराज" or Kooththan"கூத்தன்: , (Hindustani: [nət̪əˈraːdʒə], The Lord (or King) of Dance), is a depiction of the Hindu God Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for the god Brahma to start the process of creation.

2. Nataraja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nataraja
   

   Wikipedia 

The first question which comes to mind is why CERN would accept this gift from the Indian government, when it is identified with "The Destroyer", whose mission is tear the universe asunder and allow through its destruction, the re-creation of the universe?

Isn't the first created universe good enough?

It makes you wonder if all the Saturn watching, Illuminati stalking, conspiracy talking folks out there are really on to something. But, then again, you don't have to be one of these occultic watching types to feel moved to ask why?

Why are the scientists at CERN planning on pushing the limits, without regard to the potential consequences.

World renown Theoretical Physicist, Dr. Stephen Hawking has stated, in so many words, that the scientists at CERN are playing with fire, and we all could get burned!

Here is some information concerning research work completed by Dr. Hawking, from his website:

Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated that it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century. One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but rather should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.

  He has been very public with his opinion that the LHC experiments have the potential to "destroy the universe". Please reference the full article at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2746727/Maybe-shouldn-t-looking-quite-hard-God-particle-destroy-universe-warns-Stephen-Hawking.html - an excerpt of which is below:

The elusive 'God particle' discovered by scientists in 2012 has the potential to destroy the universe, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned.

At very high energy levels, the Higgs boson could cause space and time suddenly collapse - and 'we wouldn't see it coming', the former Cambridge professor of mathematics says.

The God particle, which gives shape and size to everything that exists, could cause a 'catastrophic vacuum delay' if scientists were to put it under extreme stress. 

 Our focus here is very high level, and I mean THE MOST HIGH level.

Praise God, The Eternal Creator First and Last, that we need not worry for the destruction of the universe outside of His Perfect Will. All is to be within what He allows. His will be done.

The Creator of All looks upon us and proclaims, as was penned by Solomon in Ecclesiastes, "vanity of vanities, all is vanity":

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises. The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again. All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.
(Ecc 1:2-11 ESV)

The Eternal, Alpha and Omega looks upon us all, seeing natural mans quest for answers to questions concerning the origins of creation, the beginning of all things. His Word contains the answers to these and are plainly given to us, yet our eyes are blind, and our ears, plugged.

When did the scientists of the world finally discover that the sun traverses the whole universe, tugging the Solar system with it?

Our sun (Sol), completes a circuit about the universe, from one end to the another and back...

Psalm 19, penned by King David and given by The Eternal, states the obvious Revelation of God as exhibited in His Creation. The LORD relays to us the mystery of the suns journey through the universe:

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
(Psa 19:1-6 ESV)

A Muslim Questions the Alpha and Omega

I was recently asked by a Muslim whether Jesus would use the Greek words "Alpha" and "Omega" when He was speaking to the Jews. My response was basically "how about First and Last in Hebrew?

The only uses of the word Alpha that I am aware of is in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ reveals to the Apostle John, a Jew, that He is the Alpha and Omega.

As the answer here is obvious, I approached the question from the standpoint that the Eternal had already told the Jews He was Alpha and Omega by declaring in Isaiah He is the First and Last. I believe these references to be powerful testaments to the Eternal Nature of Our Savior, Jesus.

The question posed to me is below, and it is followed by my response.

QUESTION FROM MUSLIM ON GOOGLE+
Yesterday 11:22 PM

+BlueMan Lou Alpha and omega was a greeks words, did Jesus Christ spoke greeks to the jews his followers because he was sent only to the house of isreal.

'God' getting circumcise ?? At least you know why I call Christians PAGAN !
'God' became man, circumcise, ate and drank .!? Lol .

MY REPLY:

First and the Last works well too... You can find that in the Hebrew... in Isaiah... If you can't get along with the Greek in Revelation....

Isaiah 41:4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isaiah 44:6
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Isaiah 48:12
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

Revelation 1:11
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

You see, those who deny Jesus Christ are denying God Almighty. The Word clearly tells those who have ears to hear, that they are One in the same ("I and My Father are One" - John 10:30)


The Holy Scripture is the Word of God, and the Word was in the beginning with God. The Eternal God is The Word...

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

And Immanuel / Jesus, was born a man: The Eternal Almighty became a lowly man, and became flesh....

John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

And in becoming flesh, he became a man, and for a little while, became a little lower then the angels. We are told this by the Word of God, in both Hebrew and Greek:

Psalm 8:5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Hebrews 2:7
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.?

Come to Know the Real, Living God!

TELL ME, WHY WOULD THE TRUE CREATOR OF ALL, ALMIGHTY GOD 

OF THE BIBLE, HAVE TO USE MERE MAN TO EITHER THREATEN 

DEATH TO THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM, OR CONVERT TO 

A CERTAIN BELIEF SYSTEM THAT FEELS IT'S THE ONE AND ONLY 

CHURCH, THE  MOTHER CHURCH?

HE DOESN'T!

THEREFORE WHO IS ISLAM AND CATHOLICISM REALLY SERVING?

 

Matthew 23:13

But woe unto you, scribes and 

Pharisees, hypocrites!

 for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven 

against men: 

for ye neither go in yourselves, neither 

suffer ye them

 that are entering to go in.

Matthew 15:9

But in vain they do worship me,

 teaching for doctrines

 the commandments of men.

Mark 7:13

Making the word of God of none effect 

through your tradition, which ye have 

delivered: 

and many such like things do ye.

Isaiah 42:8

I am the Lord: that is my name: and 

my glory 

will I not give to another, neither my 

praise

 to graven images.

THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD GIVES YOU A CHOICE.

THE TRUE GOD REVEALS HIMSELF THROUGH HIS WORD 

AND TELLS US OF THE LOVE HE HAS FOR US BY WHAT HE DID 

FOR US.

 

HE SENT JESUS CHRIST TO REDEEM US FROM A TERRIBLE 

FATE THAT SURPASSES ANYTHING THAT WE COULD EVER 

DO OR SAY TO CHANGE OUR ETERNITY ON OUR OWN.

THEN HE LEAVES THE DECISION UP TO US.

ISLAM'S GOD IS DESPERATE AS HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS SHORT.

HE IS ALL ABOUT KILLING, STEALING, AND DESTROYING.

YOUR WORSHIP IS DIRECTED TO A STONE.

 

Leviticus 26:1
Do not make idols or
set up an image or a sacred stone for
yourselves, and do not place a carved
stone in your land to bow down before
it. I am the Lord your God.


Deuteronomy 17:3
And hath gone and served other gods,
and worshiped them, either the sun,
or moon, or any of the host of heaven,
which I have not commanded;

 

CATHOLICISM'S JESUS IS CONTINUALLY RE-SACRIFICED AS 

WELL AS HE BECOMES  A WAFER THAT IS  PARADED AROUND! 

MARY (ANOTHER NAME SHE'S GIVEN IS "QUEEN OF HEAVEN") IS 

THEY'RE WAY TO GOD.

Jeremiah 44:17 

We will certainly do everything 

we said we would: We will burn incense 

to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out 

drink offerings to her just as we and our 

ancestors, our kings and our officials did 

in the towns of Judah and in the streets of 

Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty 

of food and were well off and suffered 

no harm.

THE POPE IS THEY'RE GOD ON EARTH. TO EVEN CALL HIM HOLY 

FATHER IS BLASPHEMY! 

 

Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone 

on earth ‘father,’ for you have one 

Father, and he is in heaven.

ARE THEY'RE  GOD'S? BECOMING CLEAR YET? RING A BELL?

WHAT ARE THE FRUITS OF ISLAM AND THEIR GOD?

ALL I SEE IS ROBOTS BLINDLY FOLLOWING AN IDOL AND IN 

DOING SO THEIR CONSCIENCE BECOMES SEARED.

WHAT KIND OF GOD MAKES NO GUARANTEE TO WHERE YOU 

WILL GO WHEN YOU DIE UNLESS YOU KILL, DESTROY IN HIS NAME?

OR TRY TO EARN A PLACE IN HEAVEN BY YOUR WORKS?

THOSE ARE WORKS OF INIQUITY FOREVER REACHING YET NEVER 

ASSURING YOU'LL HAVE A  PLACE IN HEAVEN! THAT IS COMPARED 

TO AS FILTHY RAGS TO THE TRUE GOD ALMIGHTY!

THE GOD OF THE BIBLE DID IT ALL FOR US AND GIVES US THE 

CHOICE. HE PAVED THE  WAY TO SECURE HEAVEN AND 

GUARANTEES YOU WILL BE WITH HIM FOREVER. HE DOSEN'T SAY 

"IF YOU ACCOMPLISH THIS, OR IF YOU CONFESS THROUGH A MERE 

MAN, OR BOW TO THIS, OR SAY THAT, OR KILL THEM, ETC.ETC"

THAT IS CLIMBING A LADDER TO REACH HEAVEN ON OUR OWN!

ISLAM'S GOD HAS NO REDEMPTION FOR WOMEN.

WHAT KIND OF GOD WOULD DO SUCH A THING? YET IT ISN'T EVEN 

GUARANTEED FOR MEN!BUT THEY'RE GOD USES 

FLESHLY, WORLDLY DESIRES TO GET MEN TO MOVE ON HIS 

BEHALF TO DECEIVE THEM INTO A SECURE PARADISE WITH VIRGINS.

 

WHAT KIND OF GOD WOULD USE SEXUAL, FLESHLY, WORLDLY 

DESIRES TO CAUSE MAN TO LUST FOR PARADISE?

CATHOLICISM HAS IDOLS MIXED WITH MERE TRADITIONS OF MERE 

MEN.

Mark 7:6-9

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.

Howbeit in vain do they worship

me, teaching for doctrines the 

commandments of men.

For laying aside the commandment 

of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the 

washing of pots and cups: and many other such like 

things ye do.

And he said unto them, Full well ye 

reject the commandment of God, that ye may 

keep your own tradition.

MY GOD WEEPS FOR THE LOST AND LONGS TO HAVE THM 

ADOPTED INTO HIS KINGDOM.

ISLAM'S GOD WANTS NON-BELIEVERS, AKA INFIDELS, ANNIHILATED,

WHILE THE POPE AND CATHOLICISM FEEL THAT THEY'RE THE ONLY CHURCH.

CATHOLICISM CONSIDERS NON-CATHOLICS AS INFIDELS AS 

WELL,. YET, THEY WANT TO BECOME COZY WITH PROTESTANTS 

AND WORSHIP TOGETHER. BUT THEY ARE TOLD TO NOT 

WORSHIP WITH PROTESTANTS WITHOUT PERMISSION. 

PERMISSION???

ISLAM HAS PEOPLE DECEIVED INTO THINKING THEY ARE A 

PEACEFUL RELIGION. YOU HAVE BEEN SUBTLY DECEIVED!  

IF YOU THINK THAT, THEN I KNOW YOUR QURAN 

BETTER THAN YOU DO,  AND YOU THEREFORE ARE BLINDLY 

FOLLOWING WHAT YOU'RE TOLD AND DON'T READ FOR 

YOURSELF!

ISLAM AND CATHOLICISM DICTATE WHAT TO BELIEVE 

AND IT'S GIVEN THROUGH MERE MEN!

HOW SAD, YOU WILL SPEND YOUR TIME ON EARTH JUMPING 

THROUGH HOOPS, GOING THROUGH RITES, PERFORMING 

RITUALS THAT ARE MERE TRADITIONS PASSED ON 

THROUGH MERE MEN. YET YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE 

ASSURANCE OF WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL END UP UPON YOUR 

DEATH!

WAKE UP!!!!

THE TRUE LIVING GOD HAS GIVEN HIS WORD TO EVERYONE AND 

NOT JUST A SELECTED FEW.HE DOESN'T TORTURE PEOPLE 

BY PUTTING THEM THROUGH STEPS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO 

BE WITH HIM!

NOTHING, I REPEAT THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY 

THAT WILL GET YOU EVEN CLOSE TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD 

OUTSIDE OF CHOOSING HIS PLAN OF SALVATION AND NOT MAN'S! 

HE HAS PROVIDED A WAY THAT IS ASSURANCE AND  IS A SECURE 

PROMISE. YOU BECOME SEALED AS GOD'S IF YOU SIMPLY BELIEVE 

THAT HE SENT HIS SON JESUS CHRIST TO TAKE THE PUNISHMENT 

FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD!

IT'S A GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN TO ALL MANKIND AND HE GIVES IT 

FREELY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT 

THERE IS A GOD THAT LOVES YOU THAT MUCH THAT HE WOULD 

SEND HIS SON TO TAKE THE PUNISHMENT THAT WAS 

INTENDED FOR US.

MY PRAYER IS THAT YOU COME TO KNOW THE REAL LIVING GOD

AND HAVE JOY IN THIS LIFETIME BY HAVING THE ASSURANCE OF 

HEAVEN AND BEING WITH THE ONE AND ONLY LIVING GOD.

Pope Francis Promotes Man's Fulfillment over the Truth of the Omnipotent Power of God

 

 

 FULFILLMENT?  MAGICIAN? Did Pope Francis refer to the Omnipotent Power of God as a magic trick? In his comments below, Pope Francis promotes man's fulfillment over the Truth of the Omnipotent Power of God

"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so. He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment"  - Pope Francis

FULFILLMENT???

You mean like:

- But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”  - Genesis 3:4-5

 

First... Deny the Power of Almighty God....
Second... Promote Man in his selfish desires, maybe even Man's mystic quest to reach divinity...

This is what an ongoing policy of embracing the religions of the world in "unity" leads to... A mishmosh of beliefs, deluding the minds of would be followers of the Almighty, Alpha and Omega, distorting the Truth, and belittling the work of the Righteous Redeemer, Creator of All, Savior of the World...

No folks... the Pope is NOT the representative or face of Christianity. With every statement he makes, he draws more and more away from the truth with teachings that tickle the ears of those who are in darkness and become blinded to The Truth.

 

 

The Sword of Gideon and the Crescent Ornaments

(All Scripture quoted from the English Standard Version)

¹¹ Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. ¹² And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” ¹³ And Gideon said to him, “Please, sir,^[a] if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” ¹⁴And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” ¹⁵ And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.” ¹⁶ And the Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.”


25 That night the Lord said to him, “Take your father's bull, and the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it 26 and build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you shall cut down.” 27 So Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the Lord had told him. But because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts in abundance, and their camels were without number, as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance. 13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.” 14 And his comrade answered, “This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given into his hand Midian and all the camp.”

4 And Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over, he and the 300 men who were with him, exhausted yet pursuing. 5 So he said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” 6 And the officials of Succoth said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?” 7 So Gideon said, “Well then, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” 8 And from there he went up to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. 9 And he said to the men of Penuel, “When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.”

18 Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “Where are the men whom you killed at Tabor?” They answered, “As you are, so were they. Every one of them resembled the son of a king.” 19 And he said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the Lord lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.” 20 So he said to Jether his firstborn, “Rise and kill them!” But the young man did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a young man. 21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself and fall upon us, for as the man is, so is his strength.” And Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.

We Have Peace with God Through Our Faith in God the Father, and the Savior, Jesus Christ

We have Peace with God Through Our Faith in God the Father, and the Savior, Jesus Christ.

By having faith in God, The Creator of all things, as well as faith in the provision He has made for the payment of the debt we owe Him (we being sinful from birth), and acknowledging His Son, Jesus Christ, The Alpha and Omega, and the gift of redemption He has given us.

Jesus willingly giving Himself to a horrific death on the cross, to spill His blood, which would cover all the sins of the world.

"Christ died for the ungodly"

Believing in the Creator, in the Savior, and the work at the cross and His subsequent resurrection, which is the provision that God had made for sinners to be cleansed and redeemed through Christ, allows us to be justified in His sight.

As Abraham had believed God, and it was imputed to him as righteousness, so we too should believe and have faith that God is, and that what He says, is Truth.

Believing in Him, we are justified by Faith!  All Power, Praise, and Glory to the Lord on High, The Everlasting, Alpha and Omega, Ancient of Days... What A Savior!

Romans 5:1-8 (ESV)

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

There is a Light Burning in the Darkness

Below is a question I believe many in the world might ask considering the push for unity among the religions of the world. The quest to live in peace and harmony, freedom and safety, with our neighbors in the "Global Village".

It is obvious from the news headlines daily, that man continually fails to grasp peace and unity, but the quest is unending. The Word of God tells us that at some point in time, possibly the very near future, the masses will actually believe that a true period of peace has come, and that we will live in "Peace and Safety"

The Light of the World has revealed to us in His Word that this ultimate peace, safety, and freedom is actually a great deception spawned from the time of the earth's creation. It also states that the final perceived realization of it is in all actuality, the ultimate deception from the ruler of this world.

Lucifer (Satan), has temporary dominion over this earth and has bound it in spiritual darkness. Satan has blinded the whole world to the spiritual significance of the world events prevalent before our very eyes as he did with world events throughout history. We have been pawns in his ancient game of "tug-o-war", attempting to rest away supreme dominance from The Almighty Creator. The game continues to this day with the spiritual significance great, and the eternal ramifications greater, as we are moving closer, in this last days, to the return of Jesus Christ. The King of kings and Lord of lords. 

The question from a mid-eastern Muslim I would like to comment on is below. It is my response to him.

QUOTE: "In the other Pope Francis has invite both Israel & Palestinian for special prayer at the Vatican, What say you when the Pope allows these men walk in the holiest places for Christian?"

The answer to this lies in the spiritual realm, not in a secular impression. All are speaking of what you see and discern as "good" or "righteous" because they are together, uniting. So from your comment, I get the impression you think the Pope having them visit Rome for "group prayer" is a good thing? This is the brunt of the problem, in that the "whole world" will be deceived.

They that have the True Word, and the True discernment, which only comes from The Living God, through His Holy Spirit, know that this is a ruse, and that any "unity" brought about by man will be stained and tainted with the sin of man.

There will be no true peace until the Trump of God sounds and Jesus (Yeshua) returns to reclaim the earth. He will have the scroll with the 7 seals which He had broken open, (He is the ONLY ONE worthy to do so, because He Created, and later paid In blood for it at the cross..)

This scroll is the title deed to Earth, which Satan has been given reign over for a period of time until all the works of God which He has ordained are fulfilled, and He then returns to reclaim ownership of His Creation, which the Deceiver had corrupted since The Fall in the Garden of Eden.

 Lucifer or Satan is "the god of this world".

If we say we are "religious" and follow our faith truly, then we can not pick and choose what is true and what is not. You have to take the WHOLE revelation as God's Word or don't bother reading it or following it.

The Jews, Muslims and Christians all claim the Old Testament is the WORD of GOD.

That WORD, by the way, "became flesh and dwelt among us" John 1:14

Back to our "Prayer Party in Rome":

How can these three pray together lest they pray to the same god?

It is my stand that they do pray to the same god. They either do so unknowingly, because they are deceived, or, they do so willingly, because of a greater plan to unite all under the religion of the "god of this world".

Think I lie???  Just take a look on YouTube at the 2014 New Year's celebrations around the world at all the major cites, or maybe the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Olympics in Russia, or maybe the halftime show at this last Super Bowl... and I can go on and on....

Do you see any symbolism in those that might let you believe somebody is trying to propagate something???

Now look on the left side of a US one dollar bill. You are looking at the symbol of a goal: "One World United in Illumination". " Out of Chaos, Order" In Roman numerals: 1776... not the birth year of the US, but the birth year of "The Illuminati", which is affiliated with  Freemasonry.  READ: Adam Weishaupt Bavaria 1776 -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Weishaupt

Of course, that world will be ruled by the "Illuminated Ones" and the rest of us will be its pawns, peons, serfs, slaves.... you call it.

But that is a secular goal, and the goal of Satan. It has been Lucifer's goal since the beginning... (Read Genesis in the OT)

Their "high positions"  in their respective governments or religions, is bought and paid for by the affiliates (supporters, donors, victims of extortion, etc.) who are mobilized and directed by "illuminated" secret societies,  which manipulate world events, working from both sides of a conflict in order to further their short term goals which would eventually lead to their ultimate goal of world domination (NWO if you will).

And we wonder why our politicians do the things they do???  We have been so spiritually deceived...

Jesus came to make those who are bound in darkness, see, and those who say they see... blind... because they reject The Almighty and follow, knowingly or unwittingly, the Deceiver...

How does this relate to these religious leaders wanting to pray together?

If they are working toward the same ends, then this is necessary to maintain the ruse of belligerents seeking peace. The answer is obvious.

Consider reports of the US funding Al Qaeda and ISIS, and then reports of the US fighting against Al Qaeda and ISIS, its OWN weapons being shot back at them?

Russia China, US, UK France, the nations of the whole world; they all have members in the Jesuits, The Masons, The Knights of Malta, The Knights of Columbus, Skull and Bones, and numerous other groups, all the "illuminated ones" who will reign on earth.

The ends justify the means... millions can die to reach the ultimate goal, which is what Satan wants.

Does any of this sound like headline news????

We are being SPIRITUALLY DECEIVED. It is not a conspiracy theory when the SPIRITUAL Realm is the battleground....

It is called FAITH...

The Black Stone in Mecca fell from the heavens.... Does anyone ask a Muslim:

  "If Allah is God and Mohammed is his prophet, then why do Muslims have to make a pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime to go and bow before a stone and kiss it?  Doesn't the Ten Commandments state that you should have no other gods, worship or create any graven images to worship?"

The stone it is a meteorite.... and was moved from Ephesus to Mecca. It was worshiped in Ephesus by the pagan religions of Greece and Rome:

Acts 19:35:
 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?

>>>>>>>

The POPE is in Rome. It is not just a church, it is a POLITICAL STATE. Does any one ask a Catholic:

Why do you go to Rome and visit the Pope, and when you see him, bow down kiss his hands and his feet, and call him  "His Holiness"  when there is "none righteous, no, not one" ?
Why do you pray to the "saints and Mary?"

Doesn't the Ten Commandments state that you should have no other gods, worship or create any graven images to worship?"

Doesn't Jesus say, call no one "father" because your Father is in Heaven?

>>>>>>>>>>

The world is being deceived and has been deceived since the beginning,

Nimrod wanted to build his tower to heaven so that he could hang out where the gods hang out, and rule over his one world kingdom... all the people united. His Tower of Babel to the heavens.

God confused their languages and dispersed them into the ancient nations which were the forerunners of the ones we live in today. The human nations, the descendents all from the Tower of Babel...The original Babylon.... and its original mystery religions.

The pantheistic religion of Babylon dispersed into all the world to create all kinds of new religions based on the original Luciferian inspired mystery religions of Babylon...

The world is so very deceived, and we take it, hook line and sinker....

That is why TRUTH becomes apparent as a result of having a real relationship to God, the Creator of All,  through His Son, the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ

Knowledge of the Truth does not come from man or from following a specific religion, but from God and from His Word, who created all things, and became flesh.

He brought Light to the World so that all could see. "The Life was the Light of Men"

John1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

And more:

John1:1-5
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Hopefully, with all of this in mind, the next time you read the "Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ" (not "Revelations") and see in Chapter 17 the references  to the "Woman on the Beast"  lights will turn on in your head:

Rev 17: 3 -6
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

AND AGAIN:

Rev 17:18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Grace and Peace to all in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Burden of Damascus

 The Burden of Damascus -  Isaiah Chapter 17

 (Isa 17:1)  An oracle concerning Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.

(Isa 17:2)  The cities of Aroer are deserted; they will be for flocks, which will lie down, and none will make them afraid.

(Isa 17:3)  The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the LORD of hosts.

(Isa 17:4)  And in that day the glory of Jacob will be brought low, and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.

(Isa 17:5)  And it shall be as when the reaper gathers standing grain and his arm harvests the ears, and as when one gleans the ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

(Isa 17:6)  Gleanings will be left in it, as when an olive tree is beaten— two or three berries in the top of the highest bough, four or five on the branches of a fruit tree, declares the LORD God of Israel.

(Isa 17:7)  In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel.

(Isa 17:8)  He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and he will not look on what his own fingers have made, either the Asherim or the altars of incense.

(Isa 17:9)  In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.

(Isa 17:10)  For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge; therefore, though you plant pleasant plants and sow the vine-branch of a stranger,

(Isa 17:11)  though you make them grow on the day that you plant them, and make them blossom in the morning that you sow, yet the harvest will flee away in a day of grief and incurable pain.

(Isa 17:12)  Ah, the thunder of many peoples; they thunder like the thundering of the sea! Ah, the roar of nations; they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!

(Isa 17:13)  The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.

(Isa 17:14)  At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us, and the lot of those who plunder us.

 

Dempsey in Israel, Jordan, to tie last ends before Obama decides finally on US military action in Syria

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 13, 2013, 8:44 AM (IDT)

US and Jordanian special forces

Chairman of the US Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey arrived in Israel Monday, Aug. 12 for critical talks with Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense minister Moshe Ya’alon and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, followed by parallel talks in Jordan. debkafile reports he has come to lay the ground ahead of President Barack Obama’s final decision to embark on limited US military intervention in the Syria civil war.

The Obama plan, if it goes forward, would involve Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Israel, Jordan and possibly Turkey. debkafile’s Washington and military sources reveal its 11 high points - most of which were first reported exclusively in DEBKA Weekly 598 on Aug. 1:

1. US, British, French, Saudi and United Arab Emirates will establish a no-fly zone over central and southern Syria, stretching from the Jordanian-Israeli borders up to and including Damascus.
2.  The Israeli Air Force will provide these forces with air cover from Syrian air space.
3.  A 40-kilometer deep military buffer zone will be drawn from the Jordanian-Israeli borders up to the southern and western outskirts of Damascus. The military units controlling this zone will hold the entire area of the capital within artillery range.
4.  The southern Syrian town of Deraa, where the Syrian uprising sprang up, will be declared capital of Liberated Syria.
5.   President Obama has determined that there will no American troops in the buffer zone or anywhere else on Syrian soil, only special Syrian rebel forces.
6.  Those forces will consist of 3,000 fighters trained in Jordan by US military instructors. They will be headed by Jordanian special forces and operate under US officers based in Jordan.
7. To host them, the US Army has just finished building in the Hashemite Kingdom a huge training camp and logistical system, debkafile’s military sources report. All the weapons and equipment required to train and arm the rebel force are already stacked there.
8.  The American operational command center for the Syrian operation is already in place in Amman led by US Brig. Gen. John Wright, who at 57 is a veteran of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
9.  The US air force units for imposing the no-fly zone over Syria are already in position at Middle East locations and ready to go at 36 hours’ notice.
10.  A Druze unit trained by US military instructors will be a key component of the special rebel force. It was put up by the million-strong community which populates 120 villages and towns in the Jabal al-Druze area of southern Syria. They are situated in a commanding position overlooking the Syrian-Jordanian-Iraqi border triangle.
11. US forces deployed in the Middle East, especially in Jordan and Israel, will stand ready for possible reprisals against American, Israeli, Jordanian or Turkish targets, if ordered by Syrian President Bashar Assad in retaliation for the no-fly and buffer zones.

The Call of the Mighty Man of Valor

God uses those who believe they are the least likely to be used.

Many times we are called when we are feeling at our lowest, or feel so insignificant that we couldn't possibly have any impact. It is the Lord letting you know that you are mighty and can accomplish great things in His Power. One well known example of not feeling worthy is Moses' reaction to God's call..

Case in point: The Call Of Gideon

The Call of Gideon

11 Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” 13 And Gideon said to him, “Please, sir, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” 14 And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” 15 And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.” 16 And the Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” 17 And he said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. 18 Please do not depart from here until I come to you and bring out my present and set it before you.” And he said, “I will stay till you return.”

19 So Gideon went into his house and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the terebinth and presented them. 20 And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them.” And he did so. 21 Then the angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes. And fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. 22 Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord. And Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.” 23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.” 24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it, The Lord Is Peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.

25 That night the Lord said to him, “Take your father's bull, and the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it 26 and build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you shall cut down.” 27 So Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the Lord had told him. But because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

The Lord wants us to utilize His power and do mighty things. We can stand in God's Power and His Word as the shepherd David did when he stood before the mighty Philistine warrior Goliath,  as recorded in 1 Samuel 17:45-47, and said:

“You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted. This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD’S and He will give you into our hands.”
