Waiting for the Messiah: Netanyahu addresses Evangelical Christian gathering in Jerusalem

American Evangelical pastor John Hagee - who heads the largest pro-Israel lobby group in the United States - half jokingly compared Benjamin Netanyahu to the Messiah on Sunday night, as he waited for the delayed prime minister to arrive at a Jerusalem hotel to address the crowd.

"There's a saying in Judaism about the Messiah - I know that even if he tarries, he'll come," Hagee told hundreds of members of Christians United for Israel. "I know that the prime minister will come, and even if he tarries, he'll come."

The crowd laughed, and so did Hagee. But as Hagee introduced Netanyahu when he finally arrived half an hour later, the comparison with the Messiah no longer seemed so far-fetched.

"He was a fighter in an elite unit and helped free the hostages on the Sabena, and fought in the Yom Kippur War," Hagee began. "As finance minister, he brought Israel from welfare to work [applause]. He strengthened the private sector and cut down the public sector. He's married to Sara, and his son Jonathan [sic] is a national Bible champion [applause]. He gets up every morning at six to study the Bible with his son [wild applause]...

"He also changed the path of Christianity in America, when he asked me in 2006 if he thought American Christians could unite for Israel," Hagee continued. "Ancient Israel had Moses who led them in the desert; during the golden era they had King David, who conquered Jerusalem, and today, when there are existential threats, Israel has a champion who can confront the challenge; please welcome the prime minister...[more wild applause, whistles, and the sound of a shofar from somewhere]."

Netanyahu immediately corrected two of Hagee's errors; his son the Bible champion's name is Avner, and he reads the Bible on Shabbat, after lunch. He then segued into the story of the sin of King David, when he sent Uriah the Hittite off to war so he could have his wife, Batsheva. The allegory of the poor man and his lamb, delivered as a reprimand to David, is cited by Netanyahu as an example of how all people are equal before the law, including Israel's Arab population.

"I'm proud that in Israel Muslims are free to practice their religion," said Netanyahu, to more wild applause. "At a time when Christians are under siege in so many places and so many lands, Christians are free to practice their faith," in Israel. More rousing applause.

And of course, there was Iran.

"When Iran is funding terror and violence all over the world and is calling for our annihilation, I don't have to explain to you why that regime can't have nuclear weapons," he said. "Our enemies don't hate us because of what we do, but because of who we are."

Netanyahu's speech was the high point of the conference of Christians United for Israel, which recently reached one million members. The conference in Jerusalem drew hundreds of people, primarily Americans, mostly on the older side, with some of the men wearing cowboy hats.

Before Netanyahu's arrival, as singer Dudu Fischer got on stage to sing "Am Yisrael Hai" to a techno beat, the crowd joined in with religious fervor. One woman fell emotionally to her knees, as if in prayer, while two others closed their eyes tightly and at the second verse began to cry, as did others in the hotel ballroom.

"The bad news is that numbers count, and we are a small people," Netanyahu told the crowd. "The good news is that Israel is not alone - it has your support. It's true, numbers count, but so do you!"

"He's amazing," an enthusiastic participant told a reporter. "And he's right in everything he says."

"I Have Israel Back" A Pledge Among The Whirlwind Of Tornadoes

On Wednesday, February 29, our defense secretary Leon Panetta met with Israel's defense secretary Ehud Barak. This talk does not appear to have involved the derailed peace process with the Palestinians but rather what Israel perceives as a growing threat from Iran. The Israelis apparently want to hear a few things from the US, mainly where are the red lines for Iran in their nuclear program and will the US stand by Israel if they strike Iran. From what us common folk can read in the news is that the US has no red lines and we will not stand by Israel if she should strike Iran.

On the same day, in the early morning hours of the 29th, just after midnight, a series of tornados tore through Missouri and Illinois, inflicting heavy damage in one town in Illinois and causing major damage in the popular tourist town of Branson, MO.

Talks between Barak and Panetta apparently did not yield the hope-for committments, and if the above screen capture is any indication, it looks like Panetta was shaking his finger (or at least strongly pointing) at Barak. Finger pointing is usually an indication of strong emotion or strong irritation and I am surprised that this is the picture of the meeting that was released as it does not show two people engaged in a good conversation.

Within 48 hours, a massive tornado outbreak has occurred. Not unusual considering that in the past, when the US has pressured Israel in the peace process that some kind of nationwide-attention-gathering event has taken place, whether earthquake, weather, financial, and even sometimes scandal related.
But something else happened between Wednesday and Friday -- The Atlantic interview(http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/03/obama-to-iran-and-israel-as-president-of-the-united-states-i-dont-bluff/253875/)

On Wednesday, President Obama gave an interview to Jeffrey Goldberg from the White House about his position on Israel and Iran while Ehud Barak was at the Pentagon meeting with Leon Panetta. The interview was published on Friday, and many news outlets carried the interview almost universally using the title of "President Obama says he's 'not bluffing' on Iran."



Yet there is more to the interview than that statement. It is not just a casual interview - it is a major policy statement released as an interview.

Obama insists in the interview that he (and he alone) has done much to lead the world to unify against Iran and has insisted that he has done much to buff up Israel's security and insinuated that even if the leaders in Israel don't get this, the Israeli people get it. He even bemoaned the fact that the Republicans were misleading the American people about his stance on Israel to create a wedge between Obama and Jewish voters and, thus, lose the Jewish vote come election day. The Canada Free Press addresses this better than me, so here is their take (http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/44999).

If one has not followed the various interchanges between Obama and Netanyahu over the past 3 years it would appear from the interview that Obama is very pro-Israel. But for those of us who have watched the two it is clear they are not. On that observation, the interview that Obama gave to Goldberg appears deceptive to me.

As I was working on this post Drudge posted a link to a video called Daylight which takes Obama’s own words and the comments made by a number of top officials in his administration and shows his true position and feelings about Israel. It is such an important video that I went ahead and posted it by itself at this blog last night in case I was unable to finish my post this morning.

But there is something else going on with Friday's tornado outbreak. It occurred in the same locations as the outbreak of April 27, 2011. Two important things happened on April 27, 2011. First, Obama released his long form birth certificate early that day and then David Wilkerson was killed in a head-on car crash in Palestine, Texas that evening.

On Wednesday, the same day that Obama was giving his interview to Goldberg, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, released the findings of his cold case posse, a team of former law enforcement officers and attorneys who had investigated Obama's long form birth certificate and his Selective Service card and came to the conclusion that both documents were forgeries and that there was reasonable cause to believe that fraud had been committed upon the voters of Maricopa County. Both occurred on the same day! Here, in this YouTube, ppsimmons explains some of the implications of the sheriff's findings.

Reporters immediately began attacking Sheriff Arpaio's integrity and motivations. No word yet if they actually looked at the evidence Arpaio's team presented.

The Arpaio findings though beg one very serious question: If Obama is willing to post a fraudulent document on the White House website and attest to it being his own, which is, in essence, lying to the American public, then won't he lie about his true intentions when it comes to Israel and Iran?

As long as Obama is willing to reach into his goodie bag and throw candy to his hard center-left (Obama's description of his government given to Goldberg, not mine) crowd, which includes many big-name reporters and news anchors, I don't think they will care if he lied to get into office.

This is the third time a public official has publicly said that something Obama has said was ‘inaccurate.’ Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses. Joe Wilson said aloud, “You lie.” Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words, “Not true.” Now Sheriff Joe Arpaio has said that the birth certificate and Selective Service card are forgeries.

Again, the timing of the two events. As Arpaio is releasing to the public that it appears that a lie has been told to the American public, Obama is giving an interview about his warm and fuzzy feelings toward Israel and Ehud Barak is at the Pentagon asking for help and a tornado swarm begins a short time later. The storm system stays present through Thursday and then when Obama’s interview is published on Friday, a severe outbreak of supercell tornados occurs. In fact, the Weather Channel is noting that this could be the worst March tornado outbreak on record.



There are a couple of things about The Atlantic interview I want to note.

1) The interview opens with Goldberg asking Obama what the Israelis want when they get here.

Obama: First of all, it's important to say that I don't know exactly what the prime minister is going to be coming with. We haven't gotten any indication that there is some sharp "ask" that is going to be presented.

I’m not sure this is true. There have been a multitude of high-level officials from the US going to Israel since November to discuss the Iran situation. Are we to believe that those talks yielded no indication of what the president can expect when the Israelis arrive this weekend?

A Debka article just this morning titled ADAMANT OBAMA CONFRONTS NETANYAHU WITH LONE DECISION ON IRAN seems to indicate that Obama knows EXACTLY what Netanyahu is going to ask him when he arrives in Washington, and this article makes clear that sources inside Washington, “that no American president can be expected to tolerate Israel dictating terms, however just and pressing its case may be. Even before hearing what Israel had to say, Obama was resolved to oppose military action on Iran and not be moved on this. Now he is additionally determined to put his Israeli visitor in his place and draw a line on Jerusalem’s influence in Washington - both as a lesson to Jerusalem and an incentive for Tehran.”

Truly God help us if Obama intends to teach Israel “a lesson.”

2) Goldberg asked Obama about his relationship with Netanyahu, was it as ‘dysfunctional’ as it appeared.

Obama: I actually think the relationship is very functional, and the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Here seems to be irony at its best. One of the first, earliest indications of Obama’s dislike of Netanyahu actually came over an ‘eating’ incident.

The president was so angry with Netanyahu over the building of apartments in Jerusalem that he left Netanyahu in a room by himself while he went to eat in another room with the First Lady and informed Netanyahu to let him know when he had something for him. Many news outlets in Israel (as well as other countries) actually headlined the news event with ‘Humiliated Netanyahu.’

But as recently as early November, Obama was not describing his relationship with Netanyahu as good as this screenshot of the Drudge Report on November 7th shows.




So, yes, the proof is 'in the eating.'

3) Goldberg asked Obama about the perception that Obama isn’t doing enough to protect Israel and Obama responded that he has done more than any other president in US history for Israel and then said, “. . . historically, one of the reasons that the U.S.-Israeli relationship has survived so well and thrived is shared values, shared history, the links between our peoples. But it's also been because it has been a profoundly bipartisan commitment to the state of Israel. And the flip side of it is that, in terms of Israeli politics, there's been a view that regardless of whether it's a Democratic or Republican administration, the working assumption is: we've got Israel's back. And that's something that I constantly try to reinforce and remind people of.

GOLDBERG: Wait, in four words, is that your message to the prime minister -- we've got Israel's back?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: That is not just my message to the prime minister, that's been my message to the Israeli people, and to the pro-Israel community in this country, since I came into office. It's hard for me to be clearer than I was in front of the UN General Assembly, when I made a more full-throated defense of Israel and its legitimate security concerns than any president in history -- not, by the way, in front of an audience that was particularly warm to the message. So that actually won't be my message. My message will be much more specific, about how do we solve this problem.

"WE’VE GOT ISRAEL'S BACK."

This is an unusual statement in one particular way: Obama hasn’t used it before. The relationship between the US and Israel is almost always described as ‘unshakeable,’ or ‘unbreakable,’ but not ‘we’ve got your back.’ When I searched ‘Obama, Israel, got your back” to see if the occurrence came up any other time, it only came up in connection with this Goldberg interview.

What a mixed message. The idea behind ‘we’ve got your back’ is that while someone is busy looking forward, there is this implied promise that you don’t have to look behind you -- ‘we’ will do that for you.

This remark in this interview seems to imply that the Israelis can do what they need to do because even though the US through officials speaking publicly on Obama’s behalf have stated that Obama doesn’t want the Israelis to strike Iran this comment from the very lips of Obama implies otherwise.

In fact, President Obama reiterated this stance as his own at AIPAC when he declared from the podium, "I have Israel's back."

But what if the Israelis do strike Iran, what will Obama say then? What will ‘we’ve got your back’ mean then?

February 5, 2009, only days into the Obama presidency, Daniel at Prayers for the People posted what he believed was a word he had received from the Holy Spirit called, “Collapse, Destruction, and Our Back Against Israel.” (http://www.prayersforthepeople.com/id58.html)

Our family truly believes that Obama will not have Israel’s back, but indeed will turn his back to Israel. We believe Obama will betray Israel.

Obama spoke this morning at AIPAC. He spoke at AIPAC in 2011, and when he did the incredible Joplin tornado occurred, a tornado that has been reported to be even more powerful than the massive Oklahoma city tornado of May 3, 1999.



I watched Obama speak, and his speech was mainly a repeat of his interview to Goldberg, but I found it interesting that he closed his remarks with a proverb -- A man is judged by his deeds, not by his words -- and that is how he believed he would be judged.

This proverb is not from the Bible but is an old Russian proverb. Interesting as David Wilkerson in his book Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth, Dumitru Duduman and Henry Gruver all saw judgment from God upon America via an attack from the Russians.

We can only watch and wait at this point. Here is what Daniel posted at his website last night: 

I have felt, with a great measure of urgency, to implore all who will listen, to be increasingly vigilant over the next 48-hours. I would be remiss if I didn't warn of what appears to be the perpetually increasing Llikelihood of calamity falling upon the United States of America in the coming days. In light of recent events surrounding the deceptive interview the President of the United States of America gave, with regard to his stance towards Israel, it would give the impression that tomorrow and Monday hold an even higher likelihood of yet further judgments even greater in magnitude than the ones just witnessed in the heart of the USA. Please, seek the eternally protective hand of the ALMIGHTY! Call upon JESUS CHRIST, HE is the only way.

President Obama is sending clear signals to Israel -- Don’t do this. Don’t strike Iran first. Like Pontius Pilate of old, I will wash my hands of you if you do and then where will you be?

Little does President Obama realize that is when God will step in.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. --Psalm 121: 4

Is Real ID a step toward ‘mark of the beast’?

CHARLESTON — Is the Real ID a precursor to the end-time world dictator known in Bible prophecy as the Antichrist?

A Randolph County school teacher is convinced there is an eventual link, and wants West Virginia lawmakers to grant anyone with a religious conviction an exemption from the license that employs biometrics.

“If we as Christians comply with the Real ID act, we would be enrolled into a global system of identification that directly links our body through biometrics to our ability to buy or sell,” Philip Hudok told the Senate Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Tuesday.

Hudok spoke in support of SB550, authored by Sen. Clark Barnes, R-Randolph, who seeks to extend an exemption to the Real ID on religious grounds.

A few years ago, Barnes sought to block West Virginia from taking part in the Real ID, a spawn of the fear that spread across the nation in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack.

His bill cleared the Senate but wasn’t taken up by the House of Delegates.

Hudok’s beliefs are couched in Revelation 13:16-17, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads;

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Hudok emphasized he wasn’t saying that those enrolled in the global system are under the thumb of the ultimate Beast, but said the use of Real ID means biblical prophecy is “well under way.”

“And that’s the bottom line,” he said of the driver’s license.

“You can hardly do anything without a driver’s license.”

Instead of employing biometrics, Hudok suggested the Division of Motor Vehicles rely simply on a birth certificate to verify one’s identity.

Hudok, a member of a church known as Call to Decision, in the Nicholas County town of Nettie, told the panel he teaches at a school in Pickens.

“If end-time prophecy is not important to Christians, I’d like to know what is,” he told the Senate committee.

Hudok told Barnes he considers the matter a First Amendment issue.

“I think you need to make considerations for people who have religious convictions,” he said.

“You can’t compromise on a conviction.”

For that reason, Hudok said, if the new driver’s license becomes standard, he simply will drive without one.

“I don’t have any alternatives but to live according to my convictions,” he said.

“I’ve drawn a line. I can’t go there. My religion says that this is leading to some place where I cannot go.”

Afterward, Barnes said his latest bill is a follow to one he authored a few sessions ago.

“This doesn’t say we’re not going to participate like the original bill,” the senator said.

Iran preparing now for Armageddon

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has held several secret meetings with his economic and military advisers in recent days to prepare for the possibility of war with the United States.

Sources report the preparations are to include the execution of those Iranians who oppose the regime.

Khamenei has been heard to say that the coming of the last Islamic Messiah, the Shiites’ 12th Imam Mahdi, is near and that specific actions need to be taken to protect the Islamic regime for upcoming events.

Mahdi, according to Shiite belief, will reappear at the time of Armageddon.

Selected forces within the Revolutionary Guards and Basij reportedly have been trained under a task force called “Soldiers of Imam Mahdi” and they will bear the responsibility of security and protecting the regime against uprisings. Many in the Guards and Basij have been told that the 12th Imam is on earth, facilitated the victory of Hezbollah over Israel in the 2006 war and soon will announce publicly his presence after the needed environment is created.

According to SepahOnline, sources within the Vali’eh Amr, the revolutionary forces in charge of the supreme leader’s protection, report that Khamenei held several meetings in recent days at which the leader instructed his advisers to tighten the grip on anyone who opposes or might oppose the regime in case of war.

These actions include investigations of every person or group that was pro-regime but now hold opinions contrary to regime policies. Also being created is a list, to be presented to Khamenei, to decide the fate of any opponents.

It also was decided that those political prisoners who will not repent will be executed, the sources said.

This action also was taken by the founder of the Islamic regime in 1988, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

In the book, “A Time to Betray,” it is documented when Khomeini announced the campaign, he said, “If the person at any stage or at any time maintains his (or her) support for the opposing groups, the sentence is execution. Annihilate the enemies of Islam immediately.”

The fatwa led to the execution of thousands of innocent men and women of all ages in a very short period.

The list of actions by Khamenei includes investigation of private business owners. If records show that at any time in the past they have not supported the Islamic regime, their businesses and belongings could be confiscated.

Journalists, writers and publishers who are deemed to be against the regime would be arrested and punished. Even high religious authorities who do not fully support Khamenei will be put under surveillance and dealt with if they become outspoken about the direction of the country.

Several journalists already have been arrested in the past week. In a recent speech, Khamenei hinted of a warlike environment and warned those clerics who might doubt his direction of the country that their survival is tied to the survival of the Islamic regime. Many Iranians who resent the regime resent the religion it promotes, so even opposition clerics might not fare well should the regime fall.

The plan by the leader calls for total control of Tehran, the capital where the presence of the Basij and Hezbollah militias would be quite visible so that no one would dare to challenge the regime.

This news comes in light of the formation of the “Removal Committee,” which secretly would eliminate all deemed as opponents, even within the military and the government.

Khamenei’s extraordinary measures are based either on an understanding that war could be imminent or that the regime has decided to announce it has nuclear capability and is getting ready for a possible reaction from Israel or America.

Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, an influential cleric and a radical Twelver, previously had stated that Khamenei ascends to the sky every year to take direction from Imam Mahdi, and sources close to the cleric have disclosed that Khamenei has been ordered by Imam Mahdi to continue with the nuclear program despite worldwide objection as it will facilitate his coming.

Last March, a Iranian secret documentary, “The Coming Is Upon Us,” was revealed to depict Khamenei as the mythical figure who creates the environment for the reappearance of Mahdi by leading Iran to destroy Israel.

Homeland Security Wants to Spy on 4 Square Miles at Once

It’s not just for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars anymore. The Department of Homeland Security is interested in a camera package that can peek in on almost four square miles of (constitutionally protected) American territory for long, long stretches of time.

Homeland Security doesn’t have a particular system in mind. Right now, it’s just soliciting “industry feedback” on what a formal call for such a “Wide Area Surveillance System” might look like. But it’s the latest indication of how powerful military surveillance technology, developed to find foreign insurgents and terrorists, is migrating to the home front.

The Department of Homeland Security says it’s interested in a system that can see between five to 10 square kilometers — that’s between two and four square miles, roughly the size of Brooklyn, New York’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood — in its “persistent mode.” By “persistent,” it means the cameras should stare at the area in question for an unspecified number of hours to collect what the military likes to call “pattern of life” data — that is, what “normal” activity looks like for a given area. Persistence typically depends on how long the vehicle carrying the camera suite can stay aloft; DHS wants something that can fit into a manned P-3 Orion spy plane or a Predator drone — of which it has a couple. When not in “persistent mode,” the cameras ought to be able to see much, much further: “long linear areas, tens to hundreds of kilometers in extent, such as open, remote borders.”

If it’s starting to sound reminiscent of the spy tools the military has used in Iraq and Afghanistan, it should. Homeland Security wants the video collected by the system to beam down in “near real time” — 12 seconds or quicker — to a “control room (T) or to a control room and beyond line of sight (BLOS) ruggedized mobile receiver on the ground,” just as military spy gear does. The camera should shift to infrared mode for nighttime snooping, and contain “automated, real time, motion detection capability that cues a spotter imager for target identification.” Tests for the system will take place in Nogales, Arizona.





The range of this system isn’t as vast as the newest, latest cameras that the military either has or is developing. The Army’s super-powerful ARGUS camera, heading to Afghanistan, can look out at 36 square miles at a time; the Air Force’s Gorgon Stare looks out on an entire city at once. On deck are the military’s fleet of spy blimps, which will will generate 274 terabytes of information every hour. Compared to that, the Department of Homeland Security is positively myopic.

But. Those systems are used against insurgents, who are not protected by the Fourth Amendment’s prohibitions on unreasonable searches. Even if the wide-area surveillance DHS is after is just used at borders or airports, those are still places where Americans go about their business, under the presumption that they’re not living in a government panopticon.

It’s also ironic: the Department of Homeland Security actually isn’t so hot on its own drone fleet. When Danger Room asked an official at the department’s science directorate about using spy drones to spot bombs inside the U.S., she replied, “A case has to be made that they’re economically feasible, not intrusive and acceptable to the public.”

Still, what’s military technology one day is law-enforcement tech the next. As I reported for Playboy last month, more and more cop shops are buying spy drones, and increasingly, the Federal Aviation Administration is approving their use for domestic flights.

That also means that federal and local police can expect to replicate some of the military’s more frustrating aspects of persistent spying — namely, the constant, massive backlog of real-time video they’ll need to analyze. It’s gotten so bad that the Pentagon’s mad scientist shop, Darpa, is trying to automate cameras so human analysts aren’t constantly drinking from a fire hose of spy data.

Still, privacy advocates might soon have a whole new tech-driven battle with the Department of Homeland Security on their hands. It’s hardly clear from the pre-solicitation that the department only expects to operate the cameras after getting a court order — or if it thinks it needs one in the first place. And even if the department isn’t necessarily after the uber-powerful ARGUS or Gorgon Stare cameras, that might only be a matter of time. The wars will end; the spy tech won’t. And it might be keeping tabs on your neighborhood next.

Americans prepared for civilization's collapse

(Reuters) - When Patty Tegeler looks out the window of her home overlooking the Appalachian Mountains in southwestern Virginia, she sees trouble on the horizon.

"In an instant, anything can happen," she told Reuters. "And I firmly believe that you have to be prepared."

Tegeler is among a growing subculture of Americans who refer to themselves informally as "preppers." Some are driven by a fear of imminent societal collapse, others are worried about terrorism, and many have a vague concern that an escalating series of natural disasters is leading to some type of environmental cataclysm.

They are following in the footsteps of hippies in the 1960s who set up communes to separate themselves from what they saw as a materialistic society, and the survivalists in the 1990s who were hoping to escape the dictates of what they perceived as an increasingly secular and oppressive government.

Preppers, though are, worried about no government.

Tegeler, 57, has turned her home in rural Virginia into a "survival center," complete with a large generator, portable heaters, water tanks, and a two-year supply of freeze-dried food that her sister recently gave her as a birthday present. She says that in case of emergency, she could survive indefinitely in her home. And she thinks that emergency could come soon.

"I think this economy is about to fall apart," she said.

A wide range of vendors market products to preppers, mainly online. They sell everything from water tanks to guns to survival skills.

Conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck seems to preach preppers' message when he tells listeners: "It's never too late to prepare for the end of the world as we know it."

"Unfortunately, given the increasing complexity and fragility of our modern technological society, the chances of a societal collapse are increasing year after year," said author James Wesley Rawles, whose Survival Blog is considered the guiding light of the prepper movement.

A former Army intelligence officer, Rawles has written fiction and non-fiction books on end-of-civilization topics, including "How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It," which is also known as the preppers' Bible.

"We could see a cascade of higher interest rates, margin calls, stock market collapses, bank runs, currency revaluations, mass street protests, and riots," he told Reuters. "The worst-case end result would be a Third World War, mass inflation, currency collapses, and long term power grid failures."

A sense of "suffering and being afraid" is usually at the root of this kind of thinking, according to Cathy Gutierrez, an expert on end-times beliefs at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. Such feelings are not unnatural in a time of economic recession and concerns about a growing national debt, she said.

"With our current dependence on things from the electric grid to the Internet, things that people have absolutely no control over, there is a feeling that a collapse scenario can easily emerge, with a belief that the end is coming, and it is all out of the individual's control," she told Reuters.

She compared the major technological developments of the past decade to the Industrial Revolution of the 1830s and 1840s, which led to the growth of the Millerites, the 19th-Century equivalent of the preppers. Followers of charismatic preacher Joseph Miller, many sold everything and gathered in 1844 for what they believed would be the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Many of today's preppers receive inspiration from the Internet, devouring information posted on websites like that run by attorney Michael T. Snider, who writes The Economic Collapse blog out of his home in northern Idaho.

"Modern preppers are much different from the survivalists of the old days," he said. "You could be living next door to a prepper and never even know it. Many suburbanites are turning spare rooms into food pantries and are going for survival training on the weekends."

Like other preppers, Snider is worried about the end of a functioning U.S. economy. He points out that tens of millions of Americans are on food stamps and that many U.S. children are living in poverty.

"Most people have a gut feeling that something has gone terribly wrong, but that doesn't mean that they understand what is happening," he said. "A lot of Americans sense that a massive economic storm is coming and they want to be prepared for it."

So, assuming there is no collapse of society -- which the preppers call "uncivilization" -- what is the future of the preppers?

Gutierrez said that unlike the Millerites -- or followers of radio preacher Harold Camping, who predicted the world would end last year -- preppers are not setting a date for the coming destruction. The Mayan Calendar predicts doom this December.

"The minute you set a date, you are courting disconfirmation," she said.

Tegeler, who recalls being hit by tornadoes and floods in her southwestern Virginia home, said that none of her "survival center" products will go to waste.

"I think it's silly not to be prepared," she said. "After all, anything can happen."

Israel is surrounded

The above map, while not up to date, gives the layman an overview about what I would call, the impact zone. This is Middle East War, 101. Israel is surrounded by hostile Moslem nations that seek her destruction. The war drums are beating, the troops are moving into position and the impact zone is Israel.

This week Israeli’s and “Palestinians” – there is no such thing as a Palestinian by the way – will meet in Jordan with King Abdullah of Jordan, presiding over the “festivities.” I find it revealing that the meeting is with the King and I have pointed out what I believe will be the end game in the Middle East. That after the coming war, the King will give Jordan to the Palestinians to create the long sought after Palestinian homeland. He will be heralded as the greatest peace maker in history. Watch what happens this week as the talks collapse and the drums of war continue to beat louder.

I blogged about the Straights of Hormuz being the only offensive military option for Iran and just a few days ago Iran ended war games to close Hormuz should they be sanctioned or attacked. This is a very real threat and the Iranians will do their best to accomplish this should they be attacked. This will drive oil prices well above $300 a barrel. Another area to keep an eye on is the Gate of Tears, which another 30 to 40 % of the world’s oil flows through. The Iranians have cells in Yemen and I believe it will be a two-step attack should war erupt. They will close both oil check points.

Meanwhile, HAMAS has thousands of missiles and some newly acquired arms from “liberated” Libya. These are stinger missiles which are hand-held and can bring down helicopters. They were first deployed by the Mujahedeen during the Soviet conflict in Afghanistan.

In the north. Hezbollah has perhaps as many as 100,000 missiles pointed at Israel, and Syria has chemical weapons that are ready to be fired against her too.

Israel is surrounded on all sides by countries that threaten her existentially. Make no mistake about this, the goal of the Arab/Moslem nations that surround her want to annihilate every last Jew in the country. War is coming and we need to brace ourselves for it. While I believe in the Rapture of the church, I find it incredulous that some teachers/pastors are telling their people not to worry because we’re going to get beamed out of here. I find this alarming and would point to WWII and the Jews who saw what was coming and left Nazi Germanybefore the Holocaust began. I would also point out that WWII killed 50 million people and there was no second coming.

In closing today’s Post: There is no sin in stock piling food and water and resources and to prepare for what I see as game changer when the Middle East war erupts. While the most important step we can take is to know Him, the one who gives us eternal life and who died for us 2000 years ago, we should be prepared to meet the future. War is coming and the Middle East is the impact zone….

Wall Street Analysts Everywhere Are In Agreement: THE WORLD IS ENDING

EDITOR NOTE: We originally posted this on Friday after a lot of negative reports. Since then we've seen many more, so we're updating the timestamp on the post, and have added more at the bottom.

If you like your Wall Street analysis with a heavy dollop of rapture and Armageddon, today was the day for you.

Blame the weighty issues of the day (Europe, mostly), and yesterday's big selloff for the spasm of bearishness.

It started off with Nomura's Bob Janjuah. He said that any talk of the ECB saving Europe was a mere pipedream, and that if the ECB did go whole-hog buying up peripheral debt to suppress yields, then that would prompt a German departure from the the Eurozone.

Germany appears to be adamant that full political and fiscal integration over the next decade (nothing substantive will happen over the short term, in my view) is the only option, and ECB monetisation is no longer possible. I really think it is that clear and simple. And if I am wrong, and the ECB does a U-turn and agrees to unlimited monetisation, I will simply wait for the inevitable knee-jerk rally to fade before reloading my short risk positions. Even if Germany and the ECB somehow agree to unlimited monetisation I believe it will do nothing to fix the insolvency and lack of growth in the eurozone. It will just result in a major destruction of the ECB‟s balance sheet which will force an ECB recap. At that point, I think Germany and its northern partners would walk away. Markets always want short, sharp, simple solutions.

Okay, but that's Janjuah. He's always bearish so maybe that's not even news.

But then there was Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid, who is always sober, but not usually wildly negative. He offered up one of the most bearish lines in history in regards to German opposition to ECB debt monetization:

If you don't think Merkel's tone will change then our investment advice is to dig a hole in the ground and hide.

Oy.

But it got even wilder with the latest from SocGen's Dylan Grice. Again, he's always pretty negative, but he cranked it up a notch, comparing Germany's policy today against the policies that enabled the rise of Hitler. Specifically, he said that post-Weimar, Germany became too aggressive about fighting inflation, thus prompting deflation, thus prompting more unemployment, thus enabling the rise of the Nazis.

He included this chart:




Image: Societe Generale



And finally, in our inbox, we just received the latest note from Nomura rates guru George Goncalves, which is titled: US and Europe: At the Point of No Return?

He writes:

...we were wrong in assuming one could be optimistic around the EU policy process and have learned our lesson not to accept apathy as a sign that all is factored in as its clear downside risks remain. In fact, we could be approaching the point of no return for the fate of the euro, the European financial system and more broadly the concept of a singular economic zone for Europe; this obviously would change the path for the US and the global economy in a heartbeat too. We still believe there is time to prevent worst-case scenarios, but these sort of watershed moments reveal one thing, that market practitioners are ill-equipped to navigate the political process, especially one that is driven by 17 different governments.

Update: We originally posted this on Friday afternoon, but the hits keep on coming.

Since then we've seen:
Goldman says sovereign risk is spreading like "wildfire."
Credit Suisse says we're looking at the end of the euro as we know it.
Nomura has put out a big report on redenomination risk, and how the odds of a breakup are becoming very real.

Virginia Earthquake a Sign of the End Times? Public Looks to Pat Robertson

Is it a coincidence that an earthquake that struck Virginia and rattled dozens of other states occurred amid Pat Robertson's "Sign of the Times" special on the "700 Club?"

"Are we in the last days?" Robertson asked during Wednesday morning's live online streaming of the "700 Club" as he continued his teaching on the "Sign of the Times."

"The earth moved," Robertson said ominously, describing the earthquake that struck Virginia Tuesday, "and then it moved all over this part of the country."

As a magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck Virginia around 1:51 p.m. on Tuesday, many folks wondered about its unusual strength. Aftershocks were felt all along the East Coast, West Coast, in some southern states, and even inCanada.

Don Blakeman, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC), told The Christian Post Wednesday that although Virginia has a fair number of earthquakes like most other states, the temblor's strength was unusual.

"Virginia has a fair number of quakes ... but they are typically small. [Virginia] does have a number of them every year, but it is pretty unusual to have one of this size," Blakeman said.

The NEIC geophysicist added, "We should expect some aftershocks, because when you have a good size quake like this then it’s pretty typical to have some aftershocks. It's possible to have some fairly large ones, but most of them will be [in the 3.0 range]."

Earthquake activity was one of the signs of the end, Robertson said, referring to other occurrences such as food shortages and conflicts between nations, which Christians believe will precede Christ's return.

Robertson explained in Wednesday's program, which focused on natural disasters, that earthquakes are one of the "birth pangs" Jesus Christ refers to in Matthew 24 after his disciples ask about the signs preceding his second coming.

The televangelist, who started his series on signs of the end times on Monday, was not alone in looking to the fulfillment of biblical prophecies amid the quake.

Twitter users took to their accounts yesterday, wondering if the CBN televangelist would speak out on the earthquake.

"Earthquake in DC? Stand by for a Biblical explanation from Pat Robertson," tweeted Armistead Maupin (@ArmisteadMaupin).

Erin Fleming (@ERINonyourRADIO) tweeted, "A hurricane headed for the US, an earthquake this morning in D.C. and rioting in parts of the states as well. Back to you Pat Robertson."

Some Twitter users were skeptical, scoffing at the possibility of God revealing any kind of prophetic word to Robertson.

A handful of comments appeared to make reference to Robertson's controversial remarks during the 2010 earthquake that struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti.

Robertson said, just one day after the rattler devastated the small island, that its people were possibly cursed for allegedly making a deal with the devil during the 1791 slave rebellion against the French.

User warrenstjohn (@warrenstjohn) tweeted, "Eagerly awaiting Pat Robertson's pronouncements on who did what to deserve an earthquake."

Patti (@Floridaline) wrote, "Yippee!!! Tomorrow, Gods Meteorologist, Pat Robertson, will tell us why there was an earthquake near DC!!"

Despite the anticipation, Robertson made it clear Wednesday that he had not received any prophetic word from God regarding the earthquake.

"I can't claim any kind of particular revelation," Robertson said in response to a viewer's question about upcoming natural disasters.

Some viewers of the "700 Club's" "Sign of the Times" program were also skeptical that Tuesday's earthquake was any kind of sign from God about the end of the world.

"We've always had natural disasters, many far worse than the Great Virginia Quake of 2011. So why are the events more of a sign than the events of the past," a viewer watching the live program asked in an accompanying chat room.

Other viewers asked Robertson to comment on the rapture, the possible role of the Roman Catholic Church in end time prophecies, and about the possible identity of the antichrist.

No one appeared to ask when the world can be expected to end, but Robertson had an answer for that anyway.

"It will end when the Gospel is preached to the whole world as a witness," Robertson concluded in Wednesday's program.

The "Sign of the Times" program runs through the rest of the week.

Get ready for September

There is so much news so fast that I think is better take a moment and put it in perspective of what is coming on September:

10 years of the New york attacks on September 11

Elenin have its shortest distance to the sun September 11

Days of rage on Wall street on September 17

UN will Vote on Palestinian state September 20

Feast of Trumpets September 28 and 29 (you know it could have a Rapture implications)

Elenin,Mercury,Sun and earth alignment on September 28 possible eclipse because Elenin will block the Sun.

Comet Levy will come to earth on the other side on September 28

EAS Emergency Alert System deadline to install equipments in all states on September 30


It is unclear if NASA elenin to the planet x but according to private astronomers they have the same path.

Its estimated that the coma of the Planet x (elenin) is about 200,000 kms of diameter that means 15 times earth diameter, and it's not a comet, it is a Brown dwarf





Attached pictures of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA (JPL) and stressed
some points about Elenin.


Here is the link to the JPL where you can manipulate by date and position:
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=elenin;orb=1;cov=1;log=0;cad=1#cad


If Planet X is Elenin according to NASA, see where it was when it was theJapan earthquake:
Elenin was align with the earth, sun, mercury on March 11.... it is believed that the magnetic pole is so strong that produced the earthquake.

Elenin it's going to be to the closest point with the earth on October 16










Elenin it's going to be to the closest point with the earth on September 11




Elenin it's going to be align with the mercury, sun, Elenin, and earth on September 28 FEAST OF TRUMPETS and a possible ECLIPSE because of Elenin

Comet Levy coming from the south east of the earth on trumpets

On Yom Kippur Elenin

Yom Kippur Levy

Comet 2005 YU55 Is on collision course with the earth for NOV 8, can you read the earth name on the picture? 


Remember this is from NASA... it's going to be at the double of the distance as we are from moon 

No matter how big this thing is, we must not fear because our GOD is bigger. 


If you live in holiness he is with you!!!

Ezekiel 37 and End-Times Bible Prophecy: Fulfillment Before Our Very Eyes

Frederick the Great of Prussia, who had been listening to Voltaire's agnostic ideas, asked one of his court chaplains: "If the Bible is true, it ought to be capable of very clear and succinct witness. Generally when I ask if the Bible is true, I am handed some long scholarly volume which I have neither the time nor the patience to read. If your Bible is true, give me the proof of it in one word." The chaplain answered in this way: "Sire, Israel."

Israel is the one-word demonstration of the veracity of Scripture because God has chosen the Jewish nation to be at the center of God's kingdom plan. In addition, the miracle of Israel demonstrates the trustworthiness of Scripture. After all, the Bible predicted Jews would be scattered from the land—which occurred in 70 A.D.—and then would be brought back to form a nation.

Never before in the history of human-kind had a nation been dissolved and then, after many years (in Israel's case, almost 1,900) resurrected—until it happened with Israel. Never before had a language been lost to the world and then resurrected—until it occurred with Hebrew, the language of the Jews of Israel.

Israel truly is a miracle and is one of the very greatest proofs that the Bible is true. But because Israel is at the very center of God's prophetic plan, recent occurrences in Israel may also be strong indicators that we are nearing the return of Christ. Specifically, two occurrences indicate this: 1) the migration of Jews into the land of Israel; and 2) Israel's recent possession of Jerusalem. We begin with the migration of Jews into the land.

For example, 7,500 Jews of the lost tribes of the northeast will migrate to Israel later this year. These Jews, which have been located in India, will go to the "Promised Land" after "their peers from South America" migrate to Israel.

Jews making aliyah (migrating to Israel) before the rapture of the Church and the beginning of the seven-year tribulation period occur are all part of the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37. In that chapter, God predicts that, following the scattering of the Jews (which occurred in 70 A.D. when the Romans besieged Israel), He would bring Jews back to the land of Israel in preparation for the salvation of Israel. Israel's salvation will occur during the seven years prior to the return of Christ and will be fulfilled at the initiation of the kingdom of God, following the return of Christ to the earth.

At the end of the nineteenth century, God began to fulfill Ezekiel 37, which predicts that God would bring Jews into the land of Israel in order to prepare for the salvation of Israel. Israel's spiritual salvation will take place within the seven-year tribulation period prior to the return of Christ, while Israel's physical salvation will occur at the return of Jesus to the earth. Thus, the fulfillment of Jews immigrating into the land of Israel would indicate the nearness of the day of the Lord (the seven-year era, initiated by the beginning of the end-times treaty with Israel). So, how close is that fulfillment?

Prior to Israel becoming a state in 1948, the Jewish population grew to 600,000 in five great waves of immigration. More than 3 million more have followed, and Israel's Jewish population now stands at 5.5 million. Of the world's population of just over 13 million Jews, Israel's is the biggest portion, having surpassed America's in 2006.

In referring to the immense number of immigrants to Israel in comparison to the smaller number of citizens, Sergio DellaPergola, a prominent demographer at the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute, a Jerusalem think tank, announced: "There is no place in the world where the number of immigrants is five times the number of the people who were there. It is unprecedented."

However, since the occurrence of that great influx, the immigration into Israel has achieved a slowdown. In fact, according to DellaPergola, "Israel is nearing zero growth from immigration." This may indicate that Israel is nearing the number of Jews God has appointed to be in the land when the day of the Lord begins. If so, the day of the Lord may be right around the corner.

Another important indicator of the nearness of the day of the Lord is Israel's possession of Jerusalem, and this is another part of the miracle that is Israel. In June of 1967, Israel was attacked by seven Arab nations, outmanned so badly it appeared to be the end of the Jewish nation. However, miraculously, Israel not only won that war in six days, but it obtained land from three different nations, as a result.

Part of the spoil of that war for Israel was the regaining of Jerusalem. "The city of God" became Jewish for the first time since 70 A.D.!

When God put Jerusalem back into the hands of Israel in 1967, it fulfilled Jesus' prophecy of Luke 21:24, where he announced that the Jewish capital would be under Gentile control "until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." It seems that "the times of the Gentiles" refers to God's focus upon Gentiles for salvation; in fact, this must be the identification of "the times of the Gentiles". How do we know?

According to Luke 21:24, "the times of the Gentiles" are connected with the possession of Jerusalem. As mentioned above, Jerusalem came under Gentile control in 70 A.D. when the armies of Rome besieged Israel. Why did that occur? It was due to Israelite hardness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a result, God's judgment came upon Israel, part of which involved the chasing of Jews from "the city of God".

This means that Israel's current possession of Jerusalem signals that God has begun to turn his attention toward Israel for salvation. Since that salvation will occur during the seven years immediately preceding the return of Christ to establish God's kingdom upon the earth, the initiation of that seven-year period cannot be far away. (Israel's possession of Jerusalem is also necessary for the rebuilding of the temple, which will occur during the first half of that seven-year era, as per the treaty of Daniel 9:27, as well as indicated by Matthew 24:15 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4. For much more on the riveting events predicted by the Bible during this future seven-year period, see Apocalypse 2012: The Ticking of the End Time Clock—What Does the Bible Say?)
This means the return of Christ is growing close. So, keep looking up!

Fear of GOD English and Spanish version

God speaks of the fear of him, in awe, a fear in love, but how often we stop to think about the depth of what he says ....

God gives us privileges but also responsibilities, if we want to be called his children, it takes a great RESPONSIBILITY.

In the following example we see how clearly shows that we must have fear of respect as obeying His commandments and remain faithful, but if not there will be CONSEQUENCES ....

1 Samuel 12:13-15 (King James Version)

13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

 14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

 15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

How complicated can be to understand this in our lives? when we try to do it with our children every day.

We always say if you do this there will be consequences, but when God say it about our lives seems we can not bear to have someone that audit it

We live in a society of excess and which we believe we can escape the consequences forever, example the bankers, Enron, Madof, GM, etc.

But the Psalms tell us that the fear of God is pure and lasts forever:

Psalm 19:8-10 (New King James Version)
 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
         The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
         The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
 10 More to be desired are they than gold,
         Yea, than much fine gold;
         Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

And that fear should be the last barrier, the Great Wall, the NON PLUS ULTRA of the limitations to sin, when all moral or emotional reasons have fallen the pure fear of God should be large enough to avoid us away from His presence.

But why turn away from your presence?

  Psalm 22:25-26 (New King James Version)

 25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
         I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.

Without holiness no one can see God and only to those who fear God be with him.

But this whole process of fear brings blessing for our lives, the same way we expect our children to respect us, and when they honor us we want to bless them, just as God blesses those who honor Him with sincere heart without expecting anything in return

Psalm 31:18-20 (New King James Version)

 18 Let the lying lips be put to silence,
         Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
 19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,
         Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
         Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
         In the presence of the sons of men!
 20 You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
         From the plots of man;
         You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
         From the strife of tongues. 

GOD cares for us

Psalm 115:11 (New King James Version)

 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;
         He is their help and their shield. 

Psalm 33:17-19 (New King James Version)

 17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;
         Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
         On those who hope in His mercy,
 19 To deliver their soul from death,
         And to keep them alive in famine.          

His angel camping around us to protect ourselves, who wins with fear and reverence to God?

Psalm 34:7 (New King James Version)

 7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him,
         And delivers them.
         

Psalm 34:7 (New King James Version)

 7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him,
         And delivers them.          

We will have no need ....

Psalm 34:9 (New King James Version)

 9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints!
         There is no want to those who fear Him.

I always thought that in this last stage before the tribulation and the rapture of the true church, there will be anguish and affliction all around, but no matter how much we miss, no matter how bad the situation or the disasters we see, the people that fear GOD would never lack anything, but this word does not refer to material things that everyone loves, it refers to His Love, food enough and protection.

I think we will see miracles in our cupboards, miracles in the midst of natural disasters and miracles of God's protection in dangerous times.

because if you...

Want Salvation...then fear GOD.

Psalm 55:18-20 (New King James Version)

 18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
         For there were many against me.
 19 God will hear, and afflict them,
         Even He who abides from of old.  

Selah
         Because they do not change,
         Therefore they do not fear God.
 20 He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;
         He has broken his covenant.

Psalm 111:5 (New King James Version)

 5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
         He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

Want the love of GOD!! then fear GOD.

Psalm 103:11 (New King James Version)

 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
         So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

Psalm 103:17 (New King James Version)

 17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him,
         And His righteousness to children’s children,

Want God's compassion! then fear GOD!

Psalm 103:13 (New King James Version)

 13 As a father pities his children,
         So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

Want knowledge then fear GOD!

Proverbs 1:7 (New King James Version)

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
      But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 2:5 (New King James Version)

5 Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
      And find the knowledge of God. 

Want Wisdom fear GOD!

Proverbs 9:10 (New King James Version)

10 “ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
      And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 

Want to live more years!...fear GOD!

Proverbs 10:27 (New King James Version)

27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days,
      But the years of the wicked will be shortened. 

Proverbs 14:27 (New King James Version)

27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,
      To turn one away from the snares of death.       

Want protection for your children...Fear GOD!

Proverbs 14:26 (New King James Version)

26 In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence,
      And His children will have a place of refuge. 

God in His infinite love seems to have forgotten any need you may have in our heart then why the man insists on doing his will without fear of God and expect to get his blessing.

Is it that we're crazy, to Albert Einstein Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Or will we love our delight that it seems impossible to fear God and allow him to be the last great wall of protection over our lives!

God offers to us:

Help and Shield

Salvation

Love

Compassion

Knowledge

Wisdom

More years of life

Protection for your children

Time is short and I urge you to fear the Lord, we must remember that we have a supreme responsibility to the Lord and be ashamed before GOD of the universe knowing that we are called sons because of a privilege and not because of a right.

Psalm 128:1-4 (New King James Version)

A Song of Ascents.

 1 Blessed is every one who fears the LORD,

         Who walks in His ways. 

 2 When you eat the labor of your hands,

         You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

 3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

         In the very heart of your house, 

         Your children like olive plants 

         All around your table.

 4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed

         Who fears the LORD.

Temor a DIOS

Dios nos habla del temor a él, un temor reverente; un temor en amor.

Pero cuantas veces nos detenemos a pensar en la profundidad de lo que el habla….

Dios nos da privilegios pero también responsabilidades, queremos ser llamados sus hijos pues eso lleva una gran responsabilidad.

En este ejemplo vemos como el nos muestra claramente que el espera que tengamos un temor de respeto acatando sus mandamientos y manteniéndonos fieles, pero si no habrá consecuencias....

Pues bien, aquí tienen al rey que pidieron y que han escogido. Pero tengan en cuenta que es el Señor quien les ha dado ese rey. 14 Si ustedes y el rey que los gobierne temen al Señor su Dios, y le sirven y le obedecen, acatando sus mandatos y manteniéndose fieles a él, ¡magnífico! 15 En cambio, si lo desobedecen y no acatan sus mandatos, él descargará su mano sobre ustedes como la descargó contra sus antepasados.

1 Samuel 12:13-15

Que tan complicado puede ser entender esto en nuestras vidas?? cuando nosotros tratamos de hacerlo ver a nuestros hijos a diario.

Siempre decimos si haces esto habrá consecuencias, pero cuando DIOS lo dice sobre nuestras vidas pareciera que no queremos o podemos soportar tener alguien que nos fiscalice.

Vivimos en una sociedad de excesos y en la cual creemos que podremos evadir las consecuencias siempre, veamos a los banqueros, Enron, Madof, GM, etc.

Pero los Salmos nos dicen que el temor a Dios es puro y permanece para siempre, que sierto es:

Salmos 19:9

 Los preceptos del Señor son rectos: traen alegría al *corazón. 

 El mandamiento del Señor es claro: da luz a los ojos. 

⁹ El temor del Señor es puro: permanece para siempre. 

 Las sentencias del Señor son verdaderas: 

 todas ellas son justas. 

¹⁰ Son más deseables que el oro, más que mucho oro refinado; 

 son más dulces que la miel, la miel que destila del panal. 

Y ese temor deberia de ser la ultima barrera, la gran muralla, la NON PLUS ULTRA, de las limitantes del pecado, cuando todas las razones morales o emocionales han caido el TEMOR A DIOS puro y que permanece para siempre es lo suficientemente grande para evitar que nos alejemos de su presencia.

  

Pero porque nos alejaríamos de su presencia?

Salmos 22:25

Tú inspiras mi alabanza en la gran asamblea; ante los que te temen cumpliré mis promesas.

Sin santidad nadie podrá ver a DIOS y solamente ante los que le temen a DIOS estarán junto a él.

Pero todo este proceso de temor lleva consigo bendición para nuestras vidas, así como esperamos que nuestros hijos nos respeten, y cuando ellos son causa de honra deseamos bendecirlos, de la misma manera DIOS bendice a los que lo honran con corazón sincero y sin esperar nada a cambio

Salmos 31:19

⁸ Que sean silenciados sus labios mentirosos, 

      porque hablan contra los justos 

      con orgullo, desdén e insolencia.

¹⁹ Cuán grande es tu bondad, 

      que atesoras para los que te temen, 

   y que a la vista de la *gente derramas 

      sobre los que en ti se refugian. 

²⁰ Al amparo de tu presencia los proteges 

      de las intrigas *humanas; 

   en tu morada los resguardas 

      de las lenguas contenciosas.

DIOS cuida de nosotros

Salmos 115:11

Los que temen al Señor, confíen en él; él es su ayuda y su escudo.

Salmos 33:18

¹⁷ Vana esperanza de *victoria es el caballo; 

      a pesar de su mucha fuerza no puede salvar. 

¹⁸ Pero el Señor cuida de los que le temen, 

      de los que esperan en su gran amor; 

¹⁹ él los libra de la muerte, 

      y en épocas de hambre los mantiene con vida.

Si su angel acampa al rededor nuestro para protejernos, quien gana con temer y reverenciar a DIOS?

Salmos 34:7

El ángel del Señor acampa en torno a los que le temen; a su lado está para librarlos.

Nada nos faltara....

Salmos 34:9

Teman al Señor, ustedes sus santos, pues nada les falta a los que le temen.

Siempre he pensado que en esta última etapa antes de la tribulación y el rapto de su verdadera iglesia, habrá angustia y tribulación a nuestro alrededor, pero no importa cuánto nos falte, no importa que tan mal este la situación o que desastres veamos, a los que temen a DIOS NUNCA les faltara nada, pero esta palabra no se refiere a las cosas materiales que este mundo ama, se refiere a protección y comida.

Creo que veremos milagros en nuestras alacenas, milagros en medio de desastres naturales y milagros de protección de DIOS en tiempos peligrosos.

porque...

Quieres Salvación!!! entonces teme a DIOS.

Salmos 55:18-20 

Muy cercano está para salvar a los que le temen, para establecer su gloria en nuestra tierra.

Dios en su infinito amor parece no haber olvidado ninguna necesidad que pueda haber en nuestro corazón entonces porque el ser humano insiste en hacer su voluntad sin temer a DIOS y esperar obtener su bendición.

Es acaso que estamos locos, para Albert Einstein locura es hacer la misma cosa una y otra vez y esperar resultados diferentes.

O será que tanto amamos nuestros deleites que nos parece imposible temer a DIOS y permitirle que él sea esa última gran muralla de protección sobre nuestra vida!!

No sería maravilloso querer vernos mejor ante nuestro DIOS...!!!

Dios nos ofrece:

Ayuda y escudo

Salvación

Amor

Compasión

Conocimiento

Sabiduría

Mas años de vida

Protección para tus hijos

El tiempo es corto y yo los exhorto a que temamos al Señor, que recordemos que tenemos una responsabilidad suprema ante el que llamamos Señor y tengamos vergüenza ante el creador de todo el universo sabiendo que  por privilegio somos llamados hijos y no por derecho.

Salmo 128:1-4

1 Dichosos todos los que temen al Señor,

      los que van por sus caminos.

2 Lo que ganes con tus manos, eso comerás;

      gozarás de dicha y prosperidad.

3 En el seno de tu hogar,

      tu esposa será como vid llena de uvas;

   alrededor de tu mesa,

      tus hijos serán como vástagos de olivo.

4 Tales son las bendiciones

      de los que temen al Señor.
