Today (December 7th) marks the 73rd year anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor naval base. How sad that this date - which would live in infamy - has been nearly forgotten by toady's American population and especially our youth. Tragically it has been the successful revision of our American history by the Left and the evils of it that has made us weak and vulnerable to a present day "Pearl Harbor" of EXPONENTIAL proportions (Rev. 6).
To set the stage for 1941, tensions were high between Tokyo and Washington. Japan had been flexing its military muscle through out China and ravishing the Chinese people and their neighboring countries. Japan's naval might was astounding and they dominated the Pacific ocean. It was under the deception of peace and negotiations that Japan struck without warning. They attacked first, THEN declared war! How and why did America not see what was eventually coming baffles people to this day? In light of Japan's aggressive military advancements and military policies the evidence was more than abundant. Sadly, our guard was up BUT... we deceived ourselves that we were safe from the threat of the Japanese Imperial Navy and their military aggressions. The mind set was that it could not happen to us? We are safe, surrounded by the two big ponds and we are America, the greatest nation in the world. Who could EVER attack us? This same mindset was also present on 9/11/2001.
On a beautiful SUNDAY morning when our guard was down and day dreaming of a positive bright future for the world and our children infamy struck. The attacks on Pearl Harbor shocked our nation and woke a sleeping giant to the realities of this big bad fallen evil world. That day America personally experienced the horrific aggressive appetites of the world's power hungry war pigs of their day and the result was horrific war.
Since 1941 we as a nation and a world have EXPONENTIALLY changed for the worse. Our barbarity, decadence, lasciviousness, greed, violence and narcissism has saturated our world from top to bottom and the evidence of it is every where. With the arrival of the technology age all have access to its mighty power. There is absolutely no comparison to our day (2013) then that of 1941. We have EXPONENTIALLY changed as individuals, callus and wanton. The technological advances have demonstrated as we as a world have expressed to all who that we are more evil and more godless than ever (conservative and liberal). We have demonstrated to angels good and bad every where that we DO NOT NEED Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS - which is found ONLY in Jesus Christ - and are quite self sufficient and content in our fallen humanity (conservative or liberal) to exist without our Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH (John 1:10, Rom. 1:18-32, 10:2-4).
It will be this very mindset and godless attitude that will lead this oblivious present world straight into the Day of the Lord and into the unimaginable, (the reception of Lucifer's and his anti Christ - 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 6-9, 13). As the attacks on Pearl Harbor and 9/11 OVERTOOK a sleeping nation so will the Day of the Lord OVER TAKE a sleeping America and an entire world (1 Thess. 5:3, Rev. 6-16). An overwhelming majority of the world's inhabitants (conservative and liberal) REJECT the RIGHTEOUS REALITIES of Almighty God's Word and its prophetic TRUTHS. Deep in their hearts mankind KNOWS without a shadow of a doubt that Almighty God's Day of Reckoning is at hand (Rom. 1:32). Sadly they seek to suppress and block out these REALITIES in the fear that they would have to repent and be saved (Rom. 1:18-32, 2 Thess. 2:10, Rev. 21:8, 27). How tragic!
The Holy Scriptures give ample warnings to be awake and on our guard about the day and hour in which we are presently living in. NOT to be asleep, but awake (Rom. 13:11, Thess. 5:6)! NOT to be idle, but redeeming the time (Eph. 5:16-17)! NOT to be ignorant fools, but wise (2 Cor. 2:11, Rom. 10:3, 11:25, 1 Thess. 4:13-18). NOT to be unbelieving, but believing (Mark 11:22, Heb. 11:6, James 1:6-8, 1 John 5:4)! Sadly many professing "Christians" know not the TRUE Christ of Holy Scripture and are deceiving themselves about their ETERNAL estate (Matt 7:21-23, Rom. 10:2-4, Jude 1:10). They themselves are looking for a delusional earthly world utopia and are oblivious to the Battle of Armageddon, Christ's glorious return to earth and the establishment of the 1000 year Kingdom of Heaven on earth.(Isa. 2:1-5, 11, Micah 4:1-4, Matt. 7:21-23, 15:7-9, Rev. 16:13-16, 19:11-21). Is it no wonder that that Day comes as a thief in the night!
In these last days may we be the children of light that our Savior desires of us. May we be steadfast and unmovable as this world is about to enter the ultimate "Pearl Harbor" called, "the Day of the Lord" (1 Thess. 5:3).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
Prayers from all in the great state of ARIZONA!
bing.com has a nice Pearl Harbor remembrance (IMHO) on it’s page today.
First thing that popped into my mind when I opened my eyes this morning.
Hard to believe such a historic day is an afterthought, if a thought at all. But that is where 9/11 has gone as well.
I guess that is the way it is. We cannot remember the past anymore, so we will most definitely repeat it, as well as all the handwringing and exclamations of “Why didn’t we see this coming, and what could we have done to prevent it?”
“Hard to believe such a historic day is an afterthought, if a thought at all”.
I’ve been to the USS Arizona Memorial many times and cry like a baby each and every time. For anyone that visits there and calls themselves an American and is not moved to tears, they need to pack their suitcase and get the hell out of the country because they’re not an American.

Four days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war against the attackers and eventually nuked them twice before they surrendered.
We are still waiting for Congress to legislate a declaration of war against Islam and its adherents for attacking the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, and for repeated acts of war since then.
Thank you for posting this. Six hours out of Pearl that morning, escorting the two carriers the Japanese did not get... was my father. Ordered to stay out of the ways into Pearl, they came in after the attack to burning hulks and floating burning bodies. And the tank farm was... untouched with all it’s fuel.
They left Pearl in October-— with armed torpedoes and permission to engage hostile Japanese shipping. Well in advance of the “surprise” attack. His whole life and with lot’s of personal knowledge, he said we were drawn into the war by the Brits, and thanks to FDR’s deviousness and failed policies “getting us out of the Depression” NOT! The so called “good” war, and the aftermath of the debacle with “uncle” joe stalin and the communists within FDR’s admin and thereafter. It all happened FReepers. And they are still in place, witnes obamaumao et cie.
For years of persistent democrap machine politics as a result of this imperial prez FDR. The only good thing— he kept the unions from unionizing federal employees-— until the liberals got that to happen. Perpetual centralized unionized bureaucracy and continuous rising taxes, with destruction of the middle class and private business, small and large, and of our great farming families.
For a great reference... see “The Prize”. The EU is the great dream of the Nazis, written large on Europe— after all the bloodshed to stop Hitler... and Stalin.
Peace to all this Day. Blessings for those whose family members fought, for they gave their all. Sorry for the cynicism. Do love our Veterans, tell them Thank You!
My friend, thank you for sharing this with me!. The elder at my church was there and was a submariner which the Japanese did not engage at Pearl. I believe he was just 18.
