Never in the history of the “global markets” has so much been at stake. Markets across the world are on the verge of utter collapse. This is not a hyper, over-the-top assessment or a pessimistic “doom and gloom” perspective. This is only the current reality that many do not want to face.
The current global markets are extremely volatile and highly unstable, reflecting doubt and pessimism about what the future holds in regard to their currencies. In view of the economic crisis in Greece, the Euro at present is tanking hard and is sending great panic and uncertainty throughout the world markets. These markets all affect each other like a “chain gang.” When one is thrown overboard, they all go with it.

The politicians and leaders and media will blame it on capitalism.
lol.
And I know this is not the popular view, but it makes no sense to say "watch" if you won't recognize something when it appears. The only possible reason the Lord said to "watch" is that in fact we will know the day of the coming of the Lord. And I know the verse about the "thief in the night" and think that is universally misinterpreted, and I'll be happy to discuss it off thread. That's all I have to say about it on this thread.
It won’t be long. We’ll be out of here.
Amen
Politicians and religionists seek the same goals, the acquisition of wealth and power over your life. Be suspicious of both.
I believe the rapture is real too. You miss the whole point. There is nothing you can do to delay it or to accelerate it. So, why even think about it at all?
Well, if that’s true, then there is nothing you can do to hurry it or delay it.
I have a constant and beautiful relationship with God.
It’s religionists that make me suspicous.
Is that Kapo Rahm??? Where’s his brother Mengele?
I think a very telling aspect of the concept of the Antichrist came forward with Obama, not that I think Obama fits the bill. Specifically with Obama’s followers.
To begin with, there is a tremendous, all consuming hatred and disavowal of Christianity among his followers. And not just Christianity, and not just Christians, but everything they associate with happiness, prosperity, familial love, and spiritual peace.
It is a bitter, burning hatred, and a desire to hurt those who have these things. The only mindset comparable to it are people who live in the middle of war zones, surrounded by hate and death, whose lives are dedicated to making someone, anyone, feel as much pain as they do inside. The fear of risk pales compared to their anger.
With this state of mind, what they heard in Obama’s message of “Hope and Change”, is revenge and oppression of those they hate. “Hope and Change” which impoverishes, debases, injures, and even kills those that they hate with all their being.
And to this twisted state of mind comes the concept of the Antichrist.
Obama’s followers so caught up in vengeance that they truly desire Obama to be utterly powerful. A tyrant. A dictator, as Woody Allen just suggested a few days ago. Because the more raw, naked power Obama has, the more he can oppress and smite their enemies.
That the Antichrist would be the ultimate evil doesn’t matter, other than it would mean he is impossibly powerful—which is what they want. They would willingly and joyfully follow the Antichrist, because all that matters to them is that he inflict pain on their enemies.
What happens after, even for an eternity, matters less to them, if Obama will just do this thing for them.
He is not the Antichrist. But they wish he was. As such, this is a true indicator that such a foul being exists.
It is believed that after WWI, and the Spanish flu epidemic, that a second disease ravaged Europe. It was called the “brain fever”, and it is unknown what caused it. Many young men died, an irony after the bloodbath of the war, mostly young men, and the huge death toll from the flu, which also afflicted young men.
But many of those that survived were said to be cursed with uncontrollable rages. Bitter, burning hatred, that may have finally found purpose in the Nazi party. With scapegoat people that they could take out their boundless anger against.
And there, too, was perhaps an indicator of the Antichrist. How even if not today, someday he may have legions more than willing to support him, volunteers to his cause, happy to carry his banner.
We are told to be watching. If you re read all the parables, the majority of them have to do with Rapture. The one that speaks plainly is the foolish virgins parable. The ones that weren't ready, missed the boat. "Thief in the night" and "Bride Groom" are phrases to watch for. There are winners and losers, wise and foolish, ect. Jesus was warning His followers to watch. To just say "Don't know and don't care", is dangerous. We are told by Jesus that we aren't children of darkness, we can know things others don't. It takes study. It's called getting off the milk and getting on the "meat".
Just be sure you are prepared in case it’s longer than you think. I moved everything into bonds as a safe haven from stock funds. Stocked up on ammo, now stocking up on basic supplies while paying off debt.
Even in a bad economy, cash will be king. You can’t eat gold.
I heard an interesting description of Deuteronomy today.
When the Law Giver gave us the Law in Deuteronomy, the Torah, or law, carries with it a conception of Divine Guidance. A guidance, if you will, of how to have Nephesh (Hebrew for soul/spirit/breath/life) as provided by God.
In Gal 3:12-14
(12) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
(13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
(14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Accordingly, the cliche, “a man breaks the law”, is inaccurate, relating to Deuteronomy. Instead it is “the Law breaks the man” not abiding it.
Religionist are just that... religious.
indeed... (Nice pic..lol)
The leftist mind is subjective, narcissistic.. emotional driven and loathing any that challenge their narcissistic delusion. What a sad place to be.
I read the other day that the worldwide devastation that will be brought on by the Rapture will be what ushers in the Mark and what will cause people to accept it.
