The Didache:

""There are two ways, one of life and one of death; but a great difference between the two ways. The way of life, then, is this: First, you shall love God who made you; second, your neighbour as yourself; and all things whatsoever you would should not occur to you, do not also do to another. And of these sayings the teaching is this: Bless those who curse you, and pray for your enemies, and fast for those who persecute you. For what reward is there, if you love those who love you?...

And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten. You shall not covet the things of your neighbour, you shall not forswear yourself, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued; for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbour. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life.""

Uh, no - the third year of the Obamanation is not described in Rev 6.

A Tale of Two Kingdoms. Everybody Must Choose Which One They Serve.

I have to laugh every time a nutjob claiming divine inspiration and insight is generous enough to give me the freedom to choose between his versions of his delusion or his insanity.

I have no trouble rejecting these two.

It may be a good thing to learn to live with less.
America has seen many “fat years”, but people have not honored God and given Him thanks for His goodness. Moreover they have turned their back to the One whom all things come from. Lean times teach us to focus on what’s important. It shows that man does not live from bread alone, but from every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. We need to shift our focus off the visual, physical and material to the everlasting value, the gift of salvation in Christ Jesus.

Thanks for the post, I needed it........

The Obamanation of desolation is operating in full force on multiple levels. What is a holy place... could be the Holy City, the Holy Land, hallowed ground (war memorials, war cemetaries, places where many lives were lost/sacrified), a temple...

Obama seeks to defile, violate, profane, and make desolate and naked any holy place of the one true God. Case in point:

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

2 Corinthians 6:16-18

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

A scholarly paper I'm working on examines the "two city" paradigm developed by St. Augustine after the fall of Rome. Ages have ended before. Quite often, people confuse the end of their world with the end of the world. It's an easy mistake to make. The wise and the valiant, however, refuse to freak out and give up hope.

God obviously has a bright future in mind for America, since He is already raising up a godly leadership team, in millions of Christian home schooling families across the country.

It's a lot of fun, seeing how God can use us to become a part of the solution. You ought to try it -- wanking about how "All's Lost! We're doomed! Every man for himself!" gets really old.

Oil, wine, wheat and barley, mentioned in the verse, represent all other commodities in short supply due to the abuse of might and power by human nature on earth.

For your information, there is no mention in Rev. 6 about any shortages of oil, wine, wheat and barley, or any other commodities. Your comments, not surprisingly, do not fit with what the Bible actually says.
