THE PSALM 83 WAR IS ABOUT TO ERUPT IN THE MIDDLE EAST!! VIDEO PROOF THAT THIS WAS A PURPOSEFUL ACT OF WAR!

The Turkish Flotilla incident is igniting the short fuse of the hatred of the surrounding Arab countries and will lead to an detonation of their rage, and may trigger the Psalm 83 War.

The following news video reports the facts behind this serious occurrence:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpxGMX13SEo

The very fact that Israel's enemies have been arming themselves for months now is evidence that the Psalm 83 War has not been a matter of IF but WHEN this prophesied war will explode.

These Arab/Muslim enemies have a hatred for Israel that is straight from the pits of hell. Satan, the enemy of men's souls, is inciting them into violence against God's chosen people of Israel.


Israel's enemies have been steadily increasing the spouting of war rhetoric and voicing of their intentions to annihilate Israel. 

The ire of these Muslims towards Israel now appears to be fast escalating into a frenzy as they have been enraged by this crisis of Israel with Turkey, her strongest ally in the region.


Turkey has now recalled their ambassador from Israel and there were "Hundreds of Protesters Shouting 'Allahu Akbar'" who stormed the Israeli Consulate in Turkey":

http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/05/protesters-shouting-allahu-akbar-storm-israeli-consulate-in-turkey-video/

As expected, not only the Muslims, but the entire world is condemning Israel for "attacking" the Turkish flotilla:

"Israel's attack on a Gaza-bound international aid flotilla on Monday has triggered widespread criticism from countries and international organizations around the world."


http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2010-06/01/c_13326030.htm


This position of condemnation of Israel, held by the world, will be adamantly clung to regardless of the video footage proving the peaceful approach by the Israeli soldiers and the intent by the ship's passengers to goad Israel into boarding, so as to launch the attack against the IDF.

Please see this evidence of the peaceable intent on behalf of the IDF as the"Israeli Navy Addresses a Ship in the Flotilla and Offers it to Dock in the Ashdod Port":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0LiAa3cqxM


As the preceding video confirms, it was to the contrary, the Israeli Navy Seals were viciously attacked by club, pipe and knife wielding "peace activists" upon boarding the Turkish ship and the ensuing violence was totally defensive on the part of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

Note that the soldiers boarding the vessel were squads of IDF special operations soldiers who were rappelling to the deck from helicopters, armed with their paintball rifles and with their sidearms holstered. 

There was a removal of the soldier's pistols from their holsters by the frenzied crowd, who then used them against the soldiers.

 Please also see the following videos that also substantiate the fact that Israel was the attacked, NOT the attacker:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buzOWKxN2co&feature=player_embedded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LulDJh4fWI&NR=1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVd-pAQ5X7M&feature=player_embedded

In fact, Israel actually was "set up". This was a purposeful act of jihad by the activists aboard the flotilla. The below video shows the Gaza flotilla participants chanting Islamic battle cries invoking the killing of Jews: 

" Remember,oh Jews, the army of Muhammad will return." 

The video shows the participants singing songs reminiscent of the Palestinian Intifada of 2000-2005, expressing their longing to reach Gaza. 

Towards the end of the video, a female participant states the following summing up the ship's true mission of baiting Israel in their real purpose of jihad against Israel:

"Right now we face one of two happy endings: either Martyrdom, or reaching Gaza."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3L7OV414Kk

This explains why those on board were armed and ready to attack the IDF with firebombs and stun grenades as well as knives, baseball bats, pipes and slingshots with glass marbles.This is proof that this was all a premeditated act against Israel.

Please note that these "peace activists" bringing "humanitarian" aid commenced the brutal attack of the Israeli soldiers while they were still suspended, rapelling down the ropes and had not even reached the ship's deck.


This was a deliberate act of terrorism and could (and should) be considered an act of war against Israel.

This was done deliberately to provoke a retaliation by Israel during this attack and in hopes for a subsequent larger retaliation so as to have Israel viewed as the aggressor. This basically gives Israel's enemies an "excuse"for military conflict, with world support for them, against Israel.

Therefore, this raises the likelihood that this act will precipitate the Psalm 83 War.

The anti-Semitism that has defined most of the world will now go ballistic with this "attack". 

This worldwide support of Israel's Muslim enemies will only serve to foment their desire to destroy Israel and thus incite their planned attack of Israel that they have been feverishly  prepping for these past months.


Turkey will now join the ranks of Israel's enemies which is in fulfillment of end times prophecy. Turkey is listed as one of the nations who will participate in the end-time battle of Gog-Magog described in Ezekiel 38. 

Modern day Turkey is listed in these nations, who will come against Israel, as Meshech and Tubal, representing the areas now known as Turkey.


Turkey's alliance with Israel has always been an impediment to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38. In recent months, Turkey has been gradually pulling away from backing Israel and with this crisis, clearly will become yet another enemy.

Therefore, we can now see how Turkey will join in and come against Israel in the soon coming Gog-Magog battle.


Ezekiel 38

A Prophecy Against Gog
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of [a] Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of [b] Meshech and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush [c] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.


7 " 'Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. 8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. 9 You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.


10 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land." 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages [d] will say to you, "Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?" '


14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.

17 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Are you not the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel? At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'

Please see the previous blog entry that details the Psalm 83 War as well as the time frame of it in accordance with the Gog-Magog battle:

We need to be diligently praying for the many in the Mideast who are in harm's way as the region continues to become more and more volatile and ripe for the fulfillment of the Psalm 83 War.

WASHINGTON IS AGAIN FEIGNING AN "EMERGENCY" TO PASS LEGISLATION TO ERODE OUR FREEDOMS!!

This Memorial Day weekend, Harry Reid is using an "emergency" war-funding bill to funnel billions of dollars into pet liberal social programs and has pledged to keep the Senate in session through this holiday weekend until this bill is passed.

This is reminiscent of the Obamacare bill late last year wherein the Democrats tried to claim that it was such an "emergency" that Congress might need to stay and vote on Christmas Eve.

So again, the liberals are trying to shove through their evil agenda on us by claiming an "emergency" in order to pass undesirable legislation on a holiday weekend.

In all, Congress is currently rushing to pass two massive spending bills that include at least $150 billion in new unfunded spending.

These crooked politicians who are running Washington have also slipped in a repeal of the "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy which would DEVASTATE our military.

Last report was that the House had passed this controversial and detrimental legislation. The repeal of this policy would have a multitude of broad and severe repercussions.

Where will these billions of dollars to fund these evil agendas come from?? More taxes of course! Someone needs to give them Economics 101-YOU CAN'T SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT!!

Certainly, none of the members of Congress operate this way with their personal finances but since it is OUR money, they don't care!

So, the United States government is declaring "emergency" passage of legislation that will serve only to further stress our brittle economy by piling on more astronomical debt, in addition to demoralizing our military as well as our country.

All the while, they have been purposefully ignoring THE REAL EMERGENCY of the effects of the Gulf Oil Spill on not only our southeastern coastal states, but also potentially on the oceans worldwide.

Please see the blog entry detailing the effects of the Gulf Oil Spill:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/gulf-oil-spill-could-cause-worldwide.html

On this Memorial Day weekend,while we recognize the bravery of those who gave their very lives so that we can be free, our elected officials are busily undermining all they have fought for. 

Washington underhandedly continues to attempt passage of legislation that will contribute not only to the economic, but also to the moral decline of America that will eventually lead to the decimation of our freedoms.

WE HAVE PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN-NOTHING IS SUSTAINABLE ON THIS PATH TOWARDS THE END OF THE AGE!

Our world has started down a path where NOTHING is sustainable and we have already passed the point of no return.


Just sharing today's rundown on the manifestation of this, in the world situation, as linked below:

"North and South Korea situation

Apparent conclusive evidence that a N. Korea torpedo sunk S. Korean ship. North cuts communication with South. S. cuts off all trade with N. Today, S. Korea launched a major exercise with 10 warships."

If South Korea looks at them the "wrong way", North Korea is ready to declare war.

What will Kim Jong II contemplate now that South Korea has boldly cut off trade with them while launching "a major exercise with 10 WARships"??


"The Katla volcano
Continues being fickle under the ice glacier while occasionally stumbling an earthquake to keep our attention." 


History indicates that Katla ALWAYS follows suit when her smaller neighbor, Eyjafjallajokull erupts. Please see the below linked blog entries for details:

"BP Oil Eruption
5,000 feet underwater, at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, BP is currently making a new attempt at plugging the underwater gusher which is spewing about 1 Million gallons per day (60% chance of success)..."

It has been commented that there may be a "river of oil" beneath the seabed. So, this daily gush of millions of gallons of oil may continue unabated.


Meanwhile, Obama continues to sit on his hands as far as any action to stop the flow or even any real attempts at major clean up. Each day that this is allowed to continue, brings us closer to the potential for global oceanic devastation.

We can easily see that the labor has begun, so things will only continue to worsen as do birth pains:

Matthew 24:3....."Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

THE PERFECT "GREEN" SOLUTION FOR THE CLEAN UP OF THE MASSIVE GULF OIL SPILL!!!

These good ole southern gentlemen have the perfect (literally GREEN) and simple and cost effective solution for the oil clean up! As they mention, the oil can even be utilized for energy purposes after the clean up, so this is 100% efficient! 

WHY ISN'T WASHINGTON LISTENING????

CRASH COURSE ON THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT~THE TRUTH BEHIND IT ALL!

Wanting to share these very important facts that shed the proper light on the Middle East and the Muslims's declaring "rights" in their desire to "create a Palestinian state". Please forgive, but the exact source cannot be credited as the reference was lost but this is just too astounding not to share!

"Here are overlooked facts in the current and past Middle East situation.
 These were compiled by a Christian university professor:

BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY... (It takes just 1.5 minutes to read!)


It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew -- it doesn't matter.


1. Nationhood and Jerusalem : Israel became a nation in 1312 BC, two thousand (2000) years before the rise of Islam.... Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.


Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BC, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand (1000) years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.


4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 lasted no more than 22 years.


5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem , they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.


6)Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Koran.


7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem . Mohammed never came to Jerusalem .


8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem . Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem .


9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews . Sixty-eight percent left (many in fear of retaliation by their own brethren, the Arabs), without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. The ones who stayed were afforded the same peace, civility, and citizenship rights as everyone else.




10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and programs.


11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.


12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel , a country no larger than the state of New Jersey ...


13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.


14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel . Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.


15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.


16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel .


17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel .


18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.




19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives .


20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall."


May it also be added that Mecca is the holy city that Muslims are supposed to make pilgrimage to, whereas, Jerusalem is the holy city that Jews are supposed to make pilgramage to.

As such, Mecca is the holy city for Islam and Jerusalem is the holy city for Judaism.

Satan is the power behind the Muslims who already have their own holy city (Mecca), but have been incited by the deceiver to also want Jerusalem, God's holy city so as to mock God.

This whole conflict comes from a greater conflict fought in the heavenlies that is now spilling over from the spiritual to the earthly realm as we are drawing closer to the coming Tribulation period.

WHY OBAMA IS WILLING TO OPPOSE 86% of AMERICANS WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF THE ARIZONA LAW !

The above cartoon would be funnier if it weren't true! Obama is opposing 86% of Americans polled who are in overwhelmingly in favor of the Arizona law. This would be political suicide except for the fact that Obama intends on giving illegals amnesty, along with the the right to vote.


These illegals, given amnesty, would then vote for their heros, the Democrats. Doing so, the Democrats would increase their voting base by the approximate 20 million illegals presently in America. Also, legal Hispanics would probably also join the ranks of the Democrats in gratitude.

Obama is underhandly planning on increasing the Democrat's voting base to counteract the majority of Americans who they think they will "vote them all out" in November.


Obama is also supposed to working on giving convicted felons the right to vote. Those in prison currently would then be able to vote for their benefactors, the Democrats.


There are 7.3 million prisoners in America as the U.S. prison population is the largest on earth and would be a sizable addition to the voting bloc for the Democrats.


Please see the previous blog entries explaining the details behind the plot to where Obama has it figured out to where they can retain power permanently:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/if-you-think-obamacare-is-scary-check.html

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/arizona-is-just-stepping-stone-towards.html

If these plans to steal the election are unsuccessful by November, there's always martial law as a back up plan. Once the president declares an emergency situation necessitating martial law, there is no voting by we, the people, and therefore no change in the governing powers.

One way or another Obama will assure that he stays in power with all his cronies that are fervently working towards their goal of removing our freedoms, as they move us toward a socialist state.

AMERICA'S FALSE IDOLS FROM "SEA TO SHINING SEA" -A PROVACATION TO GOD

Last week, in San Francisco, the "world's gay and lesbian capital" in the minds of many, there was held a dedication ceremony of  a 15 ton copper Buddhist statue towering 26 feet tall and and extending 60 feet in length.

Intriguing to note about this monstosity is the fact that this was actually created from fragments of centuries old Buddhist idols that had been demolished by opposing religious factions.

Thus, the statue physically consists of a mixture of false idols worshipped through the centuries. Note the artist's comment: “When I saw these fragments in Lhasa, a mysterious power impressed me.".



This "mysterious power" to which he referred  would have to be supernatural in origin and in relation to pagan idols, would be the powers of darkness. It can thus be surmised that there was a spiritual guiding force motivating the creation of this pagan statue as well as the subsequent site to display this jumbled idol.


The below excerpt explains the spiritual aspect behind the creation of this present day idol being displayed under the guise of "art".

'We are deeply honored that Zhang Huan chose San Francisco as the site for the sculpture’s world premiere,” The first sculptures in the Buddha series included nine large-scale copper fingers, which were based on remains he collected during his visit to Tibet. According to Zhang, “When I saw these fragments in Lhasa, a mysterious power impressed me. They’re embedded with historical and religious traces, just like the limbs of a human being.”

"The fingers of Buddhist deities are considered highly symbolic because they convey different spiritual meanings through various hand gestures, or mudras. Zhang continued the series with several even larger sculptures combining the legs, feet, hands and heads of Buddhist deities. The artist, having been deeply moved by the sight of the desecrated statues, believes that by recreating these fragments on a grand scale, he is able to alleviate the pain caused by their destruction".

http://sfcitizen.com/blog/2010/04/14/shanghai-surprise-giant-buddha-sculpture-set-to-debut-on-may-12th-in-civic-center/

Back in March of this year, there was yet another false idol brought to the northeastern  shore of our country, This atrocity was a 7 Ton replica statue of the Egyptian God Anubis that passed by the Statue of Liberty in New York.

http://www.upi.com/News_Photos/Features/King-Tut-returns-to-New-York/3121/

Early in his presidency Obama had decreed that "we are not a Christian nation". This was not only a statement but an invitation as well. It was an invitation and welcome to false religions and for the establishment of pagan idols in America.


Obama's spiritual implication has become a reality. Made and erected by human hands, this massive ancient Asian pagan idol is now on display in San Fransisco Harbor, on America's southwestern coastline along the Pacific Ocean. 

Meanwhile, there was the erection of this huge ancient Egyptian idol that was paraded by our Statue of Liberty. This is, of course, diagonally across America in New York Harbor, on  American's northeastern coastline
along the Atlantic Ocean.



Thus, it appears that anyone coming to our shores, from both the east and from the west, would be greeted by these pagan idols. This is representative of Obama's decree that we are "no longer a Christian nation" and his implied message of welcome to false religions.

Our government would allow no Christian symbol to be displayed as are these pagan idols. The recent uproar about the World War II memorial cross in the Mojave desert is evidence of this.


America was founded on Christian values and as a Christian nation. Our Constitution is proof of this with the many references to the living God of all creation from which our rights come. However, as per Obama's decree, "we are not a Christian nation" as Christian symbolism is banned while pagan symbols are not only allowed, but glorified.

Scripture and history tells us what happens to nations who worship false idols and the works of their hands, so why are we to wonder why America is now being befallen by so many catastrophes?

Jerimiah 25:6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not provoke me to anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you." 7"But you did not listen to me," declares the LORD, "and you have provoked me with what your hands have made, and you have brought harm to yourselves."

Jerimiah 10:14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them. 15 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish.


Disasters will continue to beset the United States as long as we turn our backs on the Lord and allow pagan idols and false religions on our shores. America can no longer expect God's protection if we no longer serve Him as a nation and as long as we "curse" Israel by turning our backs on His chosen people:

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you.

Largest Whale Ever Seen Spotted In Israel Baffles Scientists.Is this The SIGN from The Book of Jonah About the Rapture?

Just wanting to share this information regarding the recent sighting of a gray whale in Israel which has baffled scientists. This sighting in Israel  last week shocked researchers as this is to believed to be the first such sighting outside the Pacific Ocean in some 300 years:

"According to the Jerusalem Post on Saturday, a group of divers in Israel spotted a 15-meter long Sperm whale -- a rare sighting and the largest whale ever to be seen in Israel! The whale was sighted at Herziliya beach which is on the central Coast of Israel and part of the Tel Aviv District.


The whale was alone, and from its size, would be considered a "Bull" which are mature whales and measure up to 16 meters (52 feet) in length. ( A "Cow" Sperm whale would measure 36 feet, and a "Newborn" would measure 13 feet.)"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/11/gray-whale-israel-sightin_n_572473.html


Is the sighting of this "Great Fish" another sign that we are at the end of the age? Have we just been given another clue off the central Coast of Israel that the return of the Messiah for His Bride is nigh?


According to Sperm whale statistics, the oldest males typically live solitary lives--so we can know from its size and the fact that it was sighted alone that it is an older adult whale. The lifespan of a Sperm whales is 70 years. We know that 70 years is the length of a generation! (Psalm 90:10)


Jesus stated that the only sign of the true Messiah that would be given was the sign of Jonah the prophet. Some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:38-40)"

As we are in the last days, there may some significance to this amazingly rare occurence that has stunned the scientific world especially since it has been sighted off of Israel, which is God's Holy Land given to His chosen people.

THE GULF OIL SPILL IS THE PERFECT CRISIS TO PRECIPITATE OBAMA'S MERGING OF THE GREEN RELIGION WITH CHRISTIANITY

THE MARRIAGE OF THE GREEN RELIGION WITH CHRISTIANITY, COMPLIMENTS OF OBAMA


Yesterday, it was brought to light that Obama is planning on the government's Faith Based Initiative program merging with the EPA.

One might think "what possibly could  the Christian faith have to do with the Environmental Protection Agency?"

Below are details regarding this offensive merger that Obama is planning:

"Obama is using his faith-based program to push global warming, climate change, and green initiatives on America’s churches and he’s doing so by brazenly coupling his faith-based council with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Apparently, the president’s council envisions the “partnership” between government and religious institutions as a means of spreading the administration’s environmental warnings, rather than just a way to help churches feed the hungry and clothe the poor. Faith-based organizations, the report notes, can take “a prominent leadership role in influencing policy, education, and action in those areas.”

The council hopes the new EPA faith office will also help churches and other nonprofits improve “access to financing,” including “establishing revolving loan  programs or working with utility companies to help finance greening building projects.” The ultimate aim of all this government-supported retrofitting is clear: “Regional staff would work to engage local faith-and community-based groups to help meet Obama administration targets for greening buildings and promoting environmental quality.”

http://biggovernment.com/wthuston/2010/05/16/obamas-faith-based-programs-pushing-global-warming-climate-change-green-issues/

Today's modern churches in America today are big business, whose paid professionals count on numbers for income, will be hooked as numbers and income have become the priority. Friendly-seeker is the objective to increase attendance so when the plate is passed, it will be full.

The following is an  astute observation made by a fellow watchman regarding the proposed interjection of the green movement into Christianity:

"Many of the main line Churches have already bought into this Earth worship so it will not be hard for the Govt to get them to fall in line. With so many Churches bleeding money right now, this promise of the Govt making loans easy will hook many Churches to fall for this deception as they are ripe for the picking."~Nelson Swiger Jr.

The true Gospel has been watered down and the prosperity gospel is prevalent in most churches to one degree or another. The larger, more prosperous churches are more prosperity gospel oriented as they cater to our materialistic "me" society.

The "sheeple" just love to get their ears tickled so they come back for more each Sunday as they are "religiously" taught that the holy righteous God is their personal ATM if they only know which buttons to push (pun intended).

Positive, uplifting, encouraging messages are the fare if the pastors want any "repeat customers". So, watching for the return of Jesus and the signs He forewarned us of is limited to a minute percentage of pulpits. Therefore, a large majority people of God are virtually oblivious to the fact that we are in the last days.

Due to the multi-faceted apostasy that is rampant in the Laodecian church that is in America today, it will be smooth transitioning with the green movement as there is no longer any real solid Biblical basis in most churches.

2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
   
We can therefore see how easily this combining of faith with the green movement will be able to lead into the worship of mother earth, Gaia, as the green movement is a religion itself.

Basically, Obama plans to interject this paganism into the existing church of Jesus Christ with this action. The current oil spill that is snaking its way towards the Florida Keys, courtesy of the Gulf Loop, is a perfect "crisis" to use to blend the Church in with green movement.

"Anyone who has studied the global environmental movement has no doubt heard the term "Gaia". Gaia is a revival of Paganism that rejects Christianity and considers Christianity its biggest enemy, and views the Christian faith as its only obstacle to a global religion centered on Gaia worship and the uniting of all life forms around the goddess of "Mother Earth". A cunning mixture of science, paganism, eastern mysticism, and feminism have made this pagan cult a growing threat to the Christian Church. Gaia worship is at the very heart of today's environmental policy."

Seeing this as we continue in our fast approach to the end of the age it is becoming more and more clear why the Lord Jesus Christ inquired about the condition of His church when He comes:

"When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATCHING FOR THE SIGNS OF THE END OF THE AGE IN ORDER TO BE READY FOR THE BRIDEGROOM, YESHUA HAMASHIACH, JESUS THE CHRIST!

THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH FOR THOSE WHO ARE WISE TO WATCH!

Can you imagine what would be happening if the leaders of the church and the church people had been watching for the signs of the end of the age as commanded?

The internet would be all abuzz with the excitement that all the signs of the times are here! Many would come to Christ as they see the truth of God's prophetic Word coming to pass before their very eyes!


The lost who are anxiously wondering "what in the world is going on" would no longer be clueless as the Chrisitians would be a LIGHT unto them! Seeing that all ths was prophesied thousands of years ago, many would come to Christ!! What a testimony to the truth of the Word of God- prophesied events actually coming to pass before one's eyes!


Christians would be separating themselves from the world as they would realize that the eternal is all that matters and that this temporal is soon passing away- thus they would be spurred to action to warn people that Jesus is coming and that we are at the end of the age.


Today, it would not be business as usual in the Church if they had only heeded the command to "watch".

They, themselves, would be busily sounding the alarm instead of ridiculing those that are obediant to the commands of Jesus Christ to WATCH!


Early on, Satan cleverly deluded Christendom into twisting ONE Scripture verse into an excuse for "not watching" even though there are multitudinous verses to the contrary that instruct to WATCH!


This one verse is used to demean as heretical those that are obediant to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ to watch:

Mark 13:32 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

However, if we read this verse in context, we see that because we DON"T KNOW that day or hour, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO WATCH and are even commanded to "BE ON GUARD! BE ALERT!". Jesus even concludes this verse with the command to "WATCH!":

Mark 13:33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!'


Seeing this, WHY aren't ALL CHRISTIANS EXCITEDLY WATCHING FOR THE RETURN OF THEIR LORD??


In the parable of the ten virgins note that all ten are called "virgins" and thus represent Christians. The difference between the ten virgins is that when the signs of the end of the age begin, those that are wise have oil and are watching for the bridegroom with their lamps lit so as to light the way.

The other five have no oil and thus are NOT watching and their lamps are NOT lit so they are not being a light unto the unsaved as to the fulfillment of God's prophetic Word showing that we are approaching the end of the age.

At the time of the return of the bridegroom, those foolish ones without enough oil and and who were not watching are told by the bridegroom when He arrived:

Matthew 25:12" 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'



The bridegroom in the parable is the Lord Jesus Christ who again is warning His people, the virgins, to "watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

Matthew 25:13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

The virgins who are wise are the followers of Christ who have heeded His command and are thereby watching and prepared at His coming. As such, they will go in with Him to the wedding banquet in Heaven when He returns.

Matthew 25:10"...The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet....


The professing Christians who are NOT watching are the unprepared virgins who sadly have no oil  and at the last minute realize the truth that we are the end age. It will be too late for them as the door will be shut, once the Rapture has occured.

Matthew 25: 10...And the door was shut.

11"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
12"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'

God, the creator of the universe never haphazardly tosses around numbers in Scripture as He is precise and perfect and everything in His Word is for a purpose.

Noteworthy is the fact that only half of the ten virgins, those who were wise and prepared and watching, were allowed to go in with the bridegroom/ Jesus to the wedding banquet.
 
The other half of the ten those who were foolish and unprepared and not watching were left behind when the door shut. 
 
Based on these percentages, it appears that only half of professing Christians will be taken in the Rapture-those who are wise to be watching and ready~

This in itself should encourage all Christians to watch as commanded so as to ready ourselves for His coming!

The Parable of the Ten Virgins



Matthew 25:1"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

6"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

7"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'
9" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

11"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
12"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

THE GULF OIL SPILL COULD CAUSE WORLDWIDE DEVASTATION OF THE OCEANS!

The Gulf Oil Spill may be the straw that breaks the economic back of not only the Southeastern states bordering the Gulf of Mexico but the entire country as well. From economic to enviornmental and even the endangerment of some species of marine life, the consequences may be irreversible.

Below are listed various repercussions that may result from the Gulf oil spill if they can't stop it, which to date, all attempts to do so have been successful.

"Unlike the Alaska spill, which coated a rock-strewn bay, BP's oil will cling to a sponge-like coast, entering the pores of mangrove forests and sea-grass beds and the breeding grounds for crabs, shrimp and oysters.


Already some of the richest fishing grounds of the gulf are off-limits, idling thousands of commercial fishermen. Some restaurants in New Orleans and elsewhere are either out of homegrown oysters or are down to less than a week's supply.


Further, whatever happens in the gulf could spread.

Scientists say they can't predict more than a few days in advance where the oil is heading. If it slips into the powerful Loop Current, it could spread toward South Florida, get picked up by the Gulf Stream and head up the East Coast before it turns at Cape Hatteras, N.C., toward the open sea.

That could prove disastrous for Florida's enormous tourism industry, with 80 million visitors drawn yearly to its pristine beaches.

A growing slick could cut into a commercial fishing industry that produced about 1.27 billion pounds of fish and shellfish in 2008 with a dockside value of more than $659 million, according to the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council.


Beyond that, more than 3.2 million people fish for fun in the gulf each year.

Damage to the wetlands could cost society billions of dollars in lost natural filtration of water and protection of property from storm surges. The coastal areas also are important habitat for birds, shrimp and many other forms of life.


What we learned was never, ever let oil get into a mangrove coast. You’ll never get it out. It’s like a sponge you rub on a greasy bacon pan. You need very hot water and a lot of soap, and you still might just give up and throw away the sponge.”


The gulf’s coastal sea-grass beds and mangroves are full of burrowing animals that make millions of holes. Oil works its way out of the holes eventually and then storms flush it back into the water, creating what amounts to a new spill.

“It’s going to cover up the Gulf Coast and the wind is eventually going to keep it going south and it’s going to get into the Loop Current, and the Loop Current comes south and comes through the Florida Keys, where 85 percent of the live coral reefs in the country are,” Nelson said.


“We’re talking about massive economic loss to our tourism, our beaches, our fisheries, and very possibly the disruption of our country’s military testing and training in the eastern gulf,” he said."

When storms blow up _ hurricane season begins June 1 _ the oil will be driven into the marshes and “then the problem will build up more and more, because you just can’t stop it,” McKinney said'.

Notable is the fact that this disaster has an even projected worse case scenario wherein the continous gush of oil could spread from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to America's eastern seaboard if it meets with the Gulf Loop Current that would disperse the slick even further:

"Many ocean scientists are now raising concerns that a powerful current could spread the still-bubbling slick from the Florida Keys all the way to Cape Hatteras off North Carolina.


These oceanographers are carefully watching the Gulf Loop Current, a clockwise swirl of warm water that sets up in the Gulf of Mexico each spring and summer. If the spill meets the loop -- the disaster becomes a runaway.

"It could make it from Louisiana all the way to Miami in a week, maybe less." said Eric Chassignet, director of the Center for Ocean Atmospheric Prediction Studies at Florida State University. "It is pretty fast."

http://www.georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2010/05/oil-spill-how-bad.html


The very worst-case scenario, if the oil leak continued for a very long period of time, the oil could conceivably be carried from the Gulf Stream into world-wide ocean currents. Therefore, this could become a worldwide oceanic disaster.

In many photographs of the oil spill, the waters have been tiger-striped with a reddish-orange rust-colored hue, reminiscent of dried blood. This is similar coloration to what John of Patmos may have seen when he authored the book of Revelation as he was describing his vision of the sea turning to blood and every living thing in the sea dying:

Revelation 16:3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.

An eruption of Katla has always followed Eyjafjallajökull's and the EXPLOSIVE POWER OF KALTA CAN BE 100 TIMES MORE!

 The eruption of Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, shut down air traffic all over Europe and to date, it is continuing as smaller plumes have snarled traffic all the way to Turkey. Current news reveals that the volcano may continue sending ash across Europe, ceasing the flow of flights in the region potentially through the summer or longer.

"Europe's travelers ponder a summer turning to ash


DUBLIN — It's been a month now, and Iceland's volcano shows no sign it will stop belching ash across Europe anytime soon. A whole continent is rethinking its summer vacation plans — and struggling airlines are wondering how to cope in the cloud of uncertainty."

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iUxHXkUVC1z6ZW2zVsbcafyZxivAD9FLTC680

This eruption of Eyjafjallajökull is wreaking economic havoc on the airline industry as well as the many businesses that depend on it. This aspect alone could cause the collapse of the global economy.

Respiratory ailments that may ensue across the hemisphere as a result of the silica in the ash plumes are a very real possiblity, so Eyjafjallajökull is capable of much depredation.

An important point to remember is that Eyjafjallajökull has a BIG sister, Katla. Please see recent blog entries regarding the likelihood of Katla's eruption as well as its potentially devastating effects:
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-may-mean-end-of-world-as-we-know.html

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-can-blow-up-to-six-months-after.html


Note the sobering warning in the below article, by the renowned vulcanologist that "'The explosive activity of Kalta can be 100 times more" regarding the recent eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland.

"It has been forecast that the volcano will go rumbling on for several weeks or months.

"But even as the latest eruption subsides, magma is circulating, making him and his team fear that it could erupt again at a different spot.His first concern on hearing of this week's eruption, however, was for the people living in the shadow of the "dangerous nearby volcano".

The worst scenario, he said, would be for Eyjafjoell's eruption to spark another in a fierce neighbouring volcano, Katla.


'The explosive activity of Katla can be 100 times more,' he warned."

http://www.france24.com/en/20100418-eruption-strands-iceland-volcano-expert-paris

Notable is the fact that an eruption by Katla has always been preceded by the much less threatenting Eyjafjallajökull's activity (Katla has always followed suit).

If little sis, Eyjafjallajökull, can cause so much damage and loss, just think what will happen when big sister, Katla, blows her top!

It is time to draw near to the Lord, for He alone is our strong tower!!

Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

OBAMA IS GOING TO ENSURE GOD'S JUDGMENT OF AMERICA BY FALL 2010 AT THE LATEST

The recent floods, deadly tornadic activity and the continous gushing of oil snaking its way into our beautiful Gulf of Mexico show how God's merciful and loving hand of protection is being gradually lifted from America. 

Our deteriorating relationship with Israel is due to the blatant mistreatment of Her, under Obama's leadership. He continues to apply pressure on Israel to release her God-given land to the Palestinians for their "state" and "capital'.


Obama has now evidently decided that he is "king of the world" and as such, he has decreed that he will call a world summit if these Mideast peace talks he is presently forcing fail, and there is still a stalemate by this Fall regarding the creation of the"Palestinian" state that he so desires.


Please see the following blog entry regarding Judgment on those nations who curse Israel as is America at present:


Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.


http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/03/will-obamas-policy-towards-israel.html


The below excerpt is from the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz:

"President (Obama)  informed European leaders of plans for peace conference this fall, sources tell Haaretz.

 U.S. President Barack Obama has told several European leaders that if Israeli-Palestinian talks remain stalemated into September or October, he will convene an international summit on achieving Mideast peace.."
 
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/israeli-officials-obama-to-call-world-summit-if-mideast-peace-talks-fail-1.287469


This "world summit" will be the method by which Obama, with the backing of the entire world plans to obtrude and coerce Israel into submitting to his demands for a divided Jerusalem and to relinquish God's Holy Covenant land to the Palestinians.


These plans are for the Fall of 2010, wherein Obama will entice the other governments of the world to join ranks with him in effort to forcibly have Israel relinquish her Covenant lands and her eternal Holy City of Jerusalem. This, of course, is contingent upon the Psalm 83 war not yet erupting in the Mideast because after the Psalm 83 War the playing field will be tilted greatly in Israel's favor. 


Please see previous blog entry regarding the specifics of the impending Psalm 83 War:


http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-is-psalm-83-war-here-are-details.html


It appears that Obama is relentless in his quest to divide God's Holy City of Jerusalem and hand over Israel's Covenant land to those to whom it does not rightfully belong.


These attempts to curse Israel will serve to bring further and harsher judgment to America .
