Interesting development here – maybe part of setup for Ezekiel 38-39?

Leave a comment

Ezekiel 38-39 predicts that an alliance of Russian and Iran, along with others, will attack Israel.  Russia is supplying the technology and know-how to Iran to build their nuclear warheads.  If Israel tries to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities with a preemptive strike, you can bet that Iran and Russia, their nuclear supplier, will be rather put out.  Don’t expect the U.S. to lift a finger in Israel’s defense.  Expect maybe some “tough talk” and finger wagging from our President and state department while we abandon our ally and hide over here in the other hemisphere.

The following article shows that the Russians are focused on the Jews for some strange reason as they take over the Ukraine.  Hmmm I wonder what’s up?

Now the Russians are denying…

Encouraging signs of alliance between Jews and Christians

Leave a comment

I found This Wall Street Journal editorial in this morning’s paper to be very encouraging.  I think that increasingly, and especially under Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel is recognizing more and more that Bible-believing Christians worldwide are their most faithful ally.

They seem to recognize that although the U.S. on an official diplomatic level has all but thrown them to the wolves, the worldwide community of true Christian believers has nothing but respect and love for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.

It would be understandable, to me, if Israel harbored suspicion and animosity toward all of Christendom, given many centuries of harsh treatment at the hands of the supposedly “Christian” establishment in Rome.  That persecution was inspired by Satan, perpetrated by evil men, and had no valid root in New Testament theology.  However it seems that today the message of support and honor from millions true Christian believers throughout the world toward Israel and the Jews is starting to resonate with Israel and the Jews.  In my view, just another sign that we are getting close to the time of the end.

Here’s the article written by Israel’s current ambassador to the UN in support of persecuted Christians throughout the Islamic middle east.

And here I thought tampering with the mail was a federal crime

So now the postal service is going to capture and sell your information?

Back in the 1870’s, stage coach robbers used to get super stiff 20+ year sentences if they opened up the US mail sacks during a stage coach robbery.  So most of the time they left the mail sacks alone during the robberies.

But I guess the postal service is not subject to the law like the rest of us…

FBI says “never mind Islamists, the real terrorists are American citizens”

Leave a comment

It is very simple:

If you believe, as our founders did, in the supremacy of the individual, YOU are a TERRORIST.

If however you bow to the supremacy of the state, you are a PATRIOT.

You have to give the progressives a lot of credit for having subtly but completely reversed the definition of terms enroute to a wholesale takeover of the country and utter subjugation of the entire population.

Here is the article:

A glimpse into the mind of Michael Bloomberg

Leave a comment

For the first time in my life I actually felt sorry for Michael Bloomberg when I read this article.

This is the man who wants to disarm everyone in America but travels with a large armed security detail for himself.

This is the man who knows better than everyone else and feels that he should be making the decisions for you about how large your soda cup should be.

I suppose, then, that it stands to reason that his high self-opinion  and self-deception would carry over into spiritual matters…

May God open his eyes and grant him repentance unto life.

Anybody else see the irony?

I was mildly incensed by this Wall Street Journal editorial that appeared in this morning’s paper.  Here is a member of British parliament trying to school us Americans on how we should feel about Edward Snowden:

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303603904579495391321958008?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702303603904579495391321958008.html

I sent the following letter in response:

Always nice to hear from the British, but they didn’t understand Americans then and they don’t now.  We value our freedom and privacy above the “security” that the NSA claims to provide.  And yes, the NSA’s unwarranted search, seizure and storage of our emails and phone records is in fact illegal according to the
fourth amendment of the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.  The question of whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor hinges on your
perspective:  whether you are a private citizen disabused of your constitutional
rights by an overreaching, secretive and unaccountable government; or whether
you are a representative of that same government, using the NSA to help you
cling to power over the very citizens you are supposed to serve.

Stickin’ it to da man

Since it is Friday, I’m trying to keep on the sunny side of life.  Never mind the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in when the police are so emboldened as to pull this guy over in the first place…

But it is so nice when overreaching authoritarians get put in their place.  They too quickly forget that they serve us.   Instead they feed off of us and collect vast revenues by systematically “shooting fish in a barrel”.  Then they want us to pay more tax dollars to hire more policemen to do ACTUAL police work.

Just got summoned for Jury Duty

1 Comment

Just received my Jury Duty summons.  If I were on trial, I would definitely want a good, intelligent group of my peers (i.e. other middle-aged parents and business owners, etc.) making the final call as to my guilt or innocence.

This fact makes me want to serve as a juror.

At the same time, I bristle at the “summons”, which is on their schedule, not mine, and I bristle at the fact that my business is going to lose a ton of money while I am detained and unable to run it.

If they’re only gonna pay minimum wage (40 bucks a day or whatever) for jurors, then they should only be entitled to minimum-wage level talent.

I found this article that was interesting about this subject:
