Executive SummaryConnecting The Dots - www.watch.org
The third and final debate further sharpened the prophetic and moral differences between President George W. Bush and Democratic challenger John F. Kerry as America received a clear view of how the candidates stand on the issues of homosexual marriage, abortion and faith. While both candidates declared their faith on national television, America will decide its place in prophecy by selecting either a leader that follows the tenets of God Almighty or one that supports abominations.
There are four main issues that will determine America's place in prophecy: abortion, homosexuality, acknowledging God, and Israel policy. No country has ever survived rampant homosexuality, child sacrifice and turning away from God. Either Americans will find their moral footing and follow the path of God's will or they will not. If they do not, as we have seen time and again with natural disasters when pressuring Israel to give up her covenant land, God's hand of protection will likely be lifted and judgment will occur. America can be positioned with Israel in the end times, or it can fall prey to Satan's game plan and become part of a lesser world order.
As Christians, we have a responsibility to choose leaders who best match the Biblical principles to which we adhere. To say that we Christian citizens must separate our religious convictions from our political preferences is not scriptural. Jesus said in Matthew 10:32 & 33, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Consider that if you choose leadership that denies God in word or in deed, then you, too, are denying God.
Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is struggling to maintain his position of unilateral disengagement, a world-pressured movement in the name of peace, by abandoning the covenant land of Israel. This death struggle, not only between the Palestinians and Israel, but also with elected Israeli politicians, has powerful consequences for Israel's position as God's sovereign nation.
There is a delicate balance of power in the Middle East and the European Union, Russia, China and North Korea are working separately, yet in concert, to tip the scales in their "favor." Their "favor" is an anti-Christ centric move to rid the world of the irritant that hinders peace in their eyesIsrael. These nations, while trying to position themselves on the world stage as peace-brokers, are really working toward the elimination of Israel by breaking down her allied positions and by gaining footing with military and political strength to come against Israel.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is the man in the middle of a very dangerous game of "keep away." If his own people even unknowing align with the anti-Semites for the desire of their own hearts to have peace, the Arab side will continue to pressure for pre-1967 boundaries. If the anti-Semitic world wins in the court of international opinion as well as in the gaining of land from Mr. Sharon's disengagement plan, then the Palestinians will have a strong and secure footing to launch even more attacks against the peace-hungry Israelites.
There are two distinctly different media reports surrounding the final report issued by Chief U.S. Arms Inspector Charles Duelfer. One says Saddam Hussein didn't have weapons of mass destruction and wasn't making any. And another, albeit less reported, says Saddam Hussein was working covertly to restore his weapons of mass destruction program aiming at developing nuclear weapons. Which do we believe?
The mainstream liberal news media jumped to the conclusion that there were no weapons of mass destruction so the U.S. prosecuted a war without reason. The report and the author of the report, however, say differently. Still unaccounted for are the documented WMD materials that U.N. inspectors knew about, but could not findas indicated by the U.N.'s watchdog on nuclear materials
The United Nations is afraid nuclear materials from Iraq's nuclear program have landed in the wrong hands. The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency said in a letter to the U.N. Security Council there appears to be "widespread and apparently systematic dismantlement" at sites related to Iraq's nuclear program. But U.N. and United States weapons inspectors repeatedly have said Iraq had no nuclear program after 1991. Nuclear materials unaccounted for and missing same as documented biological weapons materials sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax and over 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, enough to kill several million people, remain missing. This begs the question: If Iraq had no WMD program after 1991, then how could there be a dismantling of something the country did not have?...time will tell
ABC News Political Director Mark Halperin wrote a memo to his staff stating how Mr. Kerry "distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win." Mr. Halperin admonished ABC staff for trying to hold both sides equally accountable, implying that Mr. Bush should be held to a more aggressive standard.
Biased media?...you decide but before you do, know that a recent survey of American news organizations revealed that 93% of their journalists consider themselves liberal or moderate. Also know that according to campaign contributions filings by the candidates that CBS employees gave $111,000 to Democrat candidates, mostly John F. Kerry, and only $2,000 to President Bush's reelect. NBC gave over $146,000 to Democrat candidates, not one cent to the Bush campaign. Seems as though the "B" in these network's acronyms stand for "Biased."
And this week's sign that the Apocalypse is upon us
Democratic Presidential candidate John F. Kerry the modern-day miracle worker? Running mate John Edwards thinks so
Mr. Edwards, told a high school audience Tuesday, 'We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases... When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.' That's a wrap for this week's Koenig's Eye View From The White House.

John 8:39-47. "They answered and said to him, 'Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, 'If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham. Bus as it is, you are seeking to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.'
"'You are doing the deeds of your father.' They said to him, 'We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.'
"Jesus said to them, 'If God were your Father, you would love me; for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on my own initiative, but He sent me. Why do you not understand what I am saying saying? It is because you cannot hear my word.'
"'You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is not truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.'
"Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.'"
True, but ask the man on the street if he/she knows this and I bet you will get a blank stare.
They try too hard for a mystical bounce and it just doesn't happen.
America does not show up in prophecy....not in any overt way. And if it's covert, then it's so covert that no one can point to it with certainty.
