On March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations.
Additionally, each cabinet under the Executive Branch has been given specific powers when the order is executed, and include the absolute control over food, water, and other resource distributions.
The Obama administration appears to be preparing for a long drawn out war in the Middle East, or at the very least, an expected crisis that will require the need to override Constitutional authority and claim dominion over all resources in the United States under the guise of national defense. With the rise in Disaster Preparedness growing for both individuals and states leading up to yesterday's Executive Order, the mood of the nation points strongly towards some event or disaster that will require massive preparations on a national as well as local scale.

This man is warning you and everyone else, but your reaction is to mock him? You should be praying that all he has written does not happen and that God will have mercy on our country, of which, I assume you are a part.
Your right, it will take prayer. I started having prayer in my home. We had 14 people, mostly family here in Omaha and a few in Phoenix, Colorado and soon Iowa.. (They pray at the same time-we leave computers open and read their prayers and some text in prayers) We are expecting a lot more on Saturday.
So many people in this country are like the frog in the water. It’s getting hotter, but so slowly you don’t really notice it. Our country, our kids’ hearts are being corrupted by tv/movies, music, games,.. I know so many people homeschooling because they don’t want their kids exposed to the lefts curriculum.
Rick Santorum is exactly who we need to attack Obama on these issues. I think he can change everything, with God’s help.
I don’t blame you, I am not looking forward to the suffering, but I am looking forward to seeing Jesus..the world could be cut in half at my feet my a meteor and I’d be OK with it..ready for home..
But I too will raise all the heck I can to turn this country around, perhaps if there was just one man who seeks God in the country we could turn this around..
The rabbi made some great comparisons, and I believe he is correct..The signs are lined up..
It also appears we have already been taken over with obamma executive orders..and America died without a whimper.
God has stole the handle and the train wont stop..
Now is the time for individuals to seek His face, to become stronger.God Bless You my friend..
I believe this is what it will take. A day of true repentance by the people of this nation.
Proclamation Appointing a National Fast Day
Washington, D.C.
March 30, 1863
(Senator James Harlan of Iowa, whose daughter later married President Lincoln’s son Robert, introduced this Resolution in the Senate on March 2, 1863. The Resolution asked President Lincoln to proclaim a national day of prayer and fasting. The Resolution was adopted on March 3, and signed by Lincoln on March 30.)
By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation.
Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation. And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord. And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment, inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole People?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th. day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer. And I do hereby request all the People to abstain, on that day, from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several places of public worship and their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion. All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty seventh.

Heh——funny.
BTW-—pass the word——there are 57 Muslim states-—that’s where Ohaha got that from.
57 Muslim states? Then from his perspective, he was correct : )
Yes, that’s exactly what we need. I hope through prayer and repentance God will restore this country to be one of gratitude, obedience and honor to him, the Almighty Creator of all things.
