Once Truly Saved Always Saved -

There are occasions when I choose to go out there, so to speak, in the world of the Internet and go onto other forum areas at other blogspots. It is not an easy road to take as most blogspots have their comment sections moderated, which means that if the person running the blog does not like what you have to say then he/she he can then shut you down anytime he likes. Just recently, the subject matter of the whether salvation is eternal or whether one can lose their salvation happened to be brought to the fore. As is the usual practice of the person running the blog he choose to shut me down before I could get my point across - which was that a person could never lose their salvation once truly saved.

The closet chapter that I could find that speaks of the subject matter is Hebrews. The following explanation is rather lengthy and so in this instance it may be the wisest thing to have a little patience and read the whole thing through. That being said, the bottom line remains that if one has truly accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour and deliverer it is impossible for that Christian to ever fall away. That is, once a person has truly made a covenant with God there is no way in the whole world for that covenant to be broken. What I mean by that is that if a person never ever prays, never reads the Bible and never goes to church after having made that initial commitment to Christ that person is still saved despite never continuing with the walk. However, even after having said that it does not mean that the Christian should become lazy in his walk with the Lord and use what I have said above as an excuse not to read the Bible, go to church, or pray.

At this point though I am being somewhat hypocritical as the last time that I went to church was when my dear mother passed away. Even though this might sound like a feeble excuse the only reason that I do not attend church on a regular basis is more than likely due to tiredness from overwork more than anything else.

Part 1
Hebrews 6:4-6 states, “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.” This is one of the Bible’s most difficult passages to interpret, but one thing is clear—it does not teach that we can lose our salvation. There are two valid ways of looking at these verses:One interpretation holds that this passage is written not about Christians but about unbelievers who are convinced of the basic truths of the gospel but who have not placed their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. They are intellectually persuaded but spiritually uncommitted.According to this interpretation, the phrase “once enlightened” (verse 4) refers to some level of instruction in biblical truth. However, understanding the words of scripture is not the same as being regenerated by the Holy Spirit. For example, John 1:9 describes Jesus, the “true Light,” giving light “to every man”; but this cannot mean the light of salvation, because not every man is saved. Through God’s sovereign power, every man has enough light to be held responsible. This light either leads to the complete acceptance of Jesus Christ or produces condemnation in those who reject such light. The people described in Hebrews 6:4-6 are of the latter group—unbelievers who have been exposed to God’s redemptive truth and perhaps have made a profession of faith, but have not exercised genuine saving faith.This interpretation also sees the phrase “tasted the heavenly gift” (Hebrews 6:9) as referring to a momentary experience, akin to Jesus’ “tasting” death (Hebrews 2:9). This brief experience with the heavenly gift is not seen as equivalent to salvation; rather, it is likened to the second and third soils in Jesus’ parable (Matthew 13:3-23), which describes people who receive the truth of the gospel but are not truly saved.Finally, this interpretation sees the “falling away” (Hebrews 6:6) as a reference to those who have tasted the truth but, not having come all the way to faith, fall away from even the revelation they have been given. The tasting of truth is not enough to keep them from falling away from it. They must come all the way to Christ in complete repentance and faith; otherwise, they in effect re-crucify Christ and treat Him contemptuously. Those who sin against Christ in such a way have no hope of restoration or forgiveness because they reject Him with full knowledge and conscious experience. They have concluded that Jesus should have been crucified, and they stand with His enemies. It is impossible to renew such to repentance.

Part 2
The other interpretation holds that this passage is written about Christians, and that the phrases “partakers of the Holy Ghost,” “enlightened,” and “tasted of the heavenly gift” are all descriptions of true believers. According to this interpretation, the key word in the passage is if (verse 6). The writer of Hebrews is setting up a hypothetical statement: “IF a Christian were to fall away . . .” The point being made is that it would be impossible (IF a Christian falls away) to renew salvation. That’s because Christ died once for sin (Hebrews 9:28), and if His sacrifice is insufficient, then there’s no hope at all The passage, therefore, presents an argument based on a false premise (that a true Christian can fall away) and follows it to its senseless conclusion (that Jesus would have to be sacrificed again and again). The absurdity of the conclusion points up the impossibility of the original assumption. This reasoning is called reductio ad absurdum, in which a premise is disproved by showing that it logically leads to an absurdity. Both of these interpretations support the security of the believer in Christ. The first interpretation presents unbelievers rejecting Christ and thereby losing their chance of salvation; the second interpretation presents the very idea of believers losing salvation as impossible. Many scriptures make it abundantly clear that salvation is eternal (John 10:27-29; Romans 8:35, 38-39; Philippians 1:6; 1 Peter 1:4-5), and Hebrews 6:4-6 confirms that doctrine.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.

Russia is not only gaining global political dominance, but is also gaining global military dominance.

There is now further information that suggestions made at this BlogSpot relative to the possibility of the Russian President Vladimir Putin being the Antichrist now seem to becoming more and more of a reality each day.

In the attached article end time's prophecy expert, Dr. Chuck Missler has suggested that the ultimate aim of Putin is to form what he calls a Eurasian Union.

This is right, and yet at the same time it is not strictly correct, when we know already that he has achieved is a unification of both Russia and the European Union. In fact, it is going to be Putin who is going to head the G20 meetings that in effect may mean that he has the supreme authority over the whole of that region?

Daniel 7, Verse 7 After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

It also mentions in the attached verse that the final world empire has large iron teeth. Accordingly, when there was a time that Russia hid behind what some had called the iron curtain. As that is the case, then what is taking place is applicable to the prophecy in every sense of the word.

Even though the brother has written what I would call quite a good article, one only need read the headline as in my view he has played down the Biblical significance somewhat of what is now taking place in Russia. It looks very much to me like Russia is not only gaining global dominance, militarily, but politically as well.

The reality of the matter is that once Russia has taken the upper hand militarily there is nothing at all that is going to hold them back from taking over the globe on a political basis as well. This is not just scaremongering; those are the facts of the matter.

Russia Building toward Military Dominance

Dr. Chuck Missler

The U.S.S.R. has been gone for just over 21 years now, the terror it once exercised over the West deflated into a patched-up old Halloween ghost. Yet, despite the death of the superpower, Russia's determination to expand its military might has hardly waned. Russia has recently touted itself as producing the best military hardware in the world, and the nuclear power continues to provide all manner of weaponry to the buyers in the Middle East and elsewhere, despite complaints from the western countries whose enemies Russia is arming.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently stated that Russia sold more than $14 billion in arms and services in 2012. Russia exports its weapons and hardware to eighty-eight countries. Fifty-seven countries are regular buyers, and India remains the largest buyer of Russian military equipment. Putin promises to increase his country's military spending by $770 billion from 2014-2020. Russia's booming sales and profits from their natural oil and gas resources have allowed them to increase their manufacturing of military hardware for export.

Russia's T-90, T-70 tanks, and Su-35M jets arm some of the strongest armies in Africa, namely Algeria, Uganda, and Chad. Business Insider has called the T-90 Russian battle tank "just as advanced" as the United States' M1 battle tank at more than half the cost. Russia plans to introduce the T-99 in 2014.

The Su-35 Russian jet is a twin-engine multi-role fighter, an old name on a new plane that Russia hopes will dominate the world market. Libya was a major buyer of the aircraft before the overthrow of the Gadhafi regime. Fresh talks between the new Libyan authorities and Russia are expected to resume military cooperation between the two parties. Libya recently signed a contract to upgrade 200 T-72 tanks, offering Russia another promising customer as it seeks to build business in the market of restoring, upgrading, and repairing military hardware.

Russia has a healthy portfolio of agreements with Iraq worth more than $4 billion. Between tanks and aircraft, other countries have a shopping list of items to purchase from Russia's weapons and hardware store.

Russia's MSTA-S 152mm self-propelled howitzer has been in service since 1989. There are currently 800 in Russia's inventory. The uniqueness of this weapon is the fact that it can run on six different fuel types, among them diesel, gas, aviation fuel, and spirit alcohol.

The Sukhoi T-50 is Russia's fifth generation of stealth fighter jets a likely contender with the U.S. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jet and slightly faster than the F-22 Raptor by 190 km/h. The Russian Defense Ministry plans to purchase 60 of these fighters by 2016 while confining the development cost to $10 billion with a lifespan of 30 years.

The Yasen-class submarine has been called the quietest sub in the ocean by the Office of Naval Intelligence. It carries up to 32 cruise missiles and is scheduled for ocean deployment by 2015 at a cost of $1.2 billion each. Perhaps the development of the Bulava, Sineva, and Layner ballistic missiles best describe why Russia is obsessed with submarines.

These three submarine-launched ballistic-missiles (SLBM's) are the forefront of Russia's naval missile defense. The Layner SLBM is scheduled to augment the Bulava and has 12 warheads capable of piercing anti-ballistic missile defenses. The Bulava SLBM nuclear warhead carries six 150 kiloton bombs with an effective range of 6,100 miles. They are expected to be in operation this year.

Russia is also expanding its littoral water fleet navy with the Steregushchy-class corvette ships. There are currently three ships in service with three under construction, and two more for export to Algeria. At a cost of $150 million per ship exported, these vessels are far more affordable than the planned U.S. Littoral Combat Ships with their price tag of $1.2 billion each.

Eurasian Union
Russia's key plan to strengthen its conventional military and strategic nuclear capabilities is perhaps the forefront of Vladimir Putin's vision to enact a Eurasian Union. The U.S. State Department has accused Russia of using the Eurasian Union as a cover to "re-Sovietize" those countries that were part of the former Soviet Union.

One of Russia's closest allies is Syria. Syria has opened its port of Tartus, allowing Russia's Black Sea Fleet to base their warships as a strategic show of force against the Mediterranean NATO fleets. Russia has not confirmed that it has exported a supply of S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to the Syrian government leadership under President Assad.

Russia has maintained a strong military presence in Syria, causing a challenge for a future U.S. led intervention in that region. Russia's military advisors are currently manning Syria's sophisticated missile-defense systems. Moscow has upgraded Syria's old surface-to-air systems and deployed new ones since the Syrian revolution broke out 21 months ago. The strategic deployment of these defense systems makes it risky and costly for any future western campaign to support a no-fly zone or air strikes against the current leadership.

Guy Ben-Ari, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said:

"They [Russia] didn't just sell the equipment. They also help man the crews and train the crews. Sometimes, there is just no domestic capacity to run these systems, and that is the case in Syria where Syrian crews are not capable of using the equipment to its full capacity."

Moscow has invested a great deal in Syria, and it doesn't want to lose that investment.

Putin is determined to have his Eurasian Union become "one of the global poles of power." Some analysts speculate that Russia intends to increase its annual budget for national defense and security by 30 percent. A show of increased military strength at home and abroad is Vladimir's warning to the U.S. that he is prepared to defend his Eurasian Union policy—with force if necessary.

McDonald’s McRib Sandwich a Franken Creation of GMOs, Toxic Ingredients, Banned Ingredients

If there is anyone out there who after reading this decides that they are still going to go out and eat McDonalds regularly then those same persons just might need a psychological examination, as rude as what that sounds?  I am not the author of this article, and as that is the case, I can then only speak from personal experience when I say that over the past 7 years I have been subjective to two near death experiences both of which I could relate either directly, or indirectly, to fast food.

That is not to say that it may be all right to have take away on occasions. However, for anyone to indulge more than once a week there can be no doubts at all that to do so is dicing with death. In both of the instances of realizing that I was unwell, I went to the local GP and turned away with a pat of the shoulder as in most instances the GP simply does not care. It was only after having admitted myself the emergency ward at the local hospital that I received the help I so desperately needed. Accordingly, those who read the information contained here should treat it with the upmost seriousness's as there just may come a time when you life may depend on it?

By Anthony Gucciardi
It’s ‘McRib season’, and thousands across the nation are scrambling to use online websites like the ‘McRib locator‘ to stuff the McDonald’s McRib sandwich down their throats. A sandwich that is not only full of genetically modified ingredients, a medley of toxic fillers and preservatives, but also some ingredients that are actually banned in other nations around the world. But honestly, are you surprised?

The McRib is the result of intensive marketing by McDonald’s. Utilizing the basics of supply and demand through creating scarcity over the McRib by only unleashing the culinary abomination for a fraction of the year that is only known once it is released, McDonald’s fans have been known to ‘hoard’ McRib sandwiches and eat them in extreme excess. It’s even a topic of the popular documentary Super Size Me, where filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (who gorges himself with McDonald’s for 30 days only to find serious health consequences) encounters ‘McRib hunters’ who actually travel the country eating

McRib sandwiches.

McDonald’s even made McRib fans sign a petition to ‘save the McRib’ online, bringing out a conglomerate of fans to bring back their favorite franken sandwich.

What’s Inside a McDonald’s McRib Sandwich?
But what’s really inside the McRib specifically that makes it such a food abomination? Containing over 70 ingredients, the McRib is full of surprises — including ‘restructured meat’ technology that includes traditionally-discarded animal parts brought together to create a rib-like substance. Here’s some of the disturbing substances found within the McDonald’s McRib sandwich:

A flour-bleaching agent used in yoga mats
Out of the 70 ingredients that make up the ‘pork’ sandwich, a little-known flour-bleaching agent known as azodicarbonamide lies among them. At first glance, this strange ingredient sounds concerning enough to look into. After a little research, you will find that even mainstream media outlets have generated content revealing how azodicarbonamide is actually used in the production of foamed plastics. Foamed plastics like yoga mats and more.

What’s more? In Australia and Europe, the use of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is banned. In Singapore specifically, use of this substance in food can result in a $450,000 fine and 15 years in jail.
Thank you McDonald’s for supplying the nation with such healthful ingredients.

‘Restructured Meat’ from Pig Heart, Tongue, Stomach
McDonald’s McRib is famous in some circles for utilizing what’s known as ‘restructured meat’ technology. Since McDonald’s knows you’d never eat a pig heart, tongue, or stomach on your plate, they decided instead to grind up these ingredients and put them into the form of a typical rib. That way, consumers won’t know what they’re putting into their mouths. As the Chicago Mag reported, the innovator of this technology back in 1995 said it best:

“Most people would be extremely unhappy if they were served heart or tongue on a plate… but flaked into a restructured product it loses its identity.Such products as tripe, heart, and scalded stomachs…”

So in other words, it’s not actually a rib. Instead, it’s a combination of unwanted animal scraps processed down in major facilities and ‘restructured’ into the form of a rib. Then, 70 additives, chemicals, fillers, and GMO ingredients later, you have a ‘meat’ product that tastes like ribs.

For a visual representation with a full list, here’s an image summarizing what it calls the ‘McDiabetes McRib’ — complete with GMO indicators.

December the 21st - Apocalypse 2012 - What Happened?

Putin (Antichrist) Van Rompuy (False Prophet) Barrasso (EU President) 

In this case, I have presented corrected and updated information relative to the fulfilment of the remainder of the Bible prophecies relating to the Antichrist and the False Prophet. That is, information that I believe to be true and correct on this day. However, that is still not to say that what I have presented here may become outdated as time goes by.

Like most of the world, I was waiting and watching for something out of the ordinary to take place on the 21st of December 2012. I was not disappointed at all that the day came and went without anything at all out of the ordinary appearing to take place?

Even though there was a slight amount of anxiety attached to that date, there was never ever a time when I really thought that it was going to be all over on the date mentioned, simply because all of the Bible prophecies had not yet been fulfilled. That is still not to say that there may have been those who really did believe that the world was going to end and consequently had adjusted their daily routines to suite what they believed was going to be the inevitable?

What I seemed to enjoy the most were the comical radio announcers who made a mockery of that date by asking those who would ring in what they planned to do with their lives for the very short period of time that most of them allegedly had left.

However if there is anything at all that has come out of this experience it is the reality that the Mayans did not really teach that the end of the world was going to take place 21st of December 2012. Instead, what they taught was that the aforementioned date was going to herald the beginning of the end with their God of war and destruction coming down to the earth, with he being the one the Holy Scriptures refer to as the Beast, with the common name of Antichrist.

It did not appear to the world in general that the possible scenario mentioned above had actually ever taken place. However, an event took place on that date that has alluded to rise and rise of the Antichrist that has just coincidentally has tied in with the Mayan Prophecies. Please understand though I do not take the prophecies of a lost civilization over and above the word of God when the Mayans could not even predicate their own downfall.

What has now taken place may spell the end of humanity by the handing over of an enormous amount of power to just one man, the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Even though there was very little said about in the general media and while much of the Christian and post-Christian worlds were busy rushing about in last-minute preparations for Christmas celebrations (and in some instances waiting for the world to end), an important event took place in Brussels, Belgium, that went largely unnoticed and unreported.

Leaders of the European Union and Russia met in Brussels on December the 20th and 21st for the 30th EU-Russia Summit, continuing a process of convergence and interdependence that is leading toward political, economic, and social merger.

In his remarks at the conclusion of the summit, Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, made repeated reference to progress toward the goal of which has always been code in globalist circles for world government. Van Rompuy stated: 

By working together, the EU and Russia can make a decisive contribution to global governance and regional conflict resolution, to global economic governance in the G 8 and G 20, and to a broad range of international and regional issues. I would like to congratulate President Putin for taking over the presidency of G 20. Note: What that really means is that Putin is the President of both Russia and the EU.

Herman Van Rompuy has given his power and position as the president of the EU over to Putin so that the combined forces of both Russia and the EU may form what Van Rompuy has termed “global governance,” or more correctly "world government". The aforementioned reeks of the fulfilment of the Bible prophecies as it labels Van Rompuy as the False Prophet. The False Prophet does not seek authority for himself but instead hands his power over to the Antichrist.

If there are those out there who are now reading this and are thinking that nothing out of the ordinary took place on the 21st of December, it is to those persons that I would say think again. There was a lot more that had taken place on that date than what you could ever imagine as the Antichrist has shown his true face, at last, in the form of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

What we are then looking at is Putin and Van Rompuy as the Antichrist and the False Prophet in the chronological order of the appearance of the Beasts in Revelation Chapter 13.

There are those out there who have not yet accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour and deliverer, it is to those persons out there who have not yet done so that I would say; now is the time to do so as the global situation totters right on the verge of the end times.

TO PREVENT ANOTHER SANDY HOOK, CHANGE THE AMERICAN GUN LAWS NOW.

The suggestion has now been put forth from several sources that the now infamous Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, Adam Lanza, was operating under the influence of the Antidepressant drug Prozac. Furthermore, that there was some form of mind control at play; and that those were the real reasons why he committed those horrendous acts on that fateful day.

Prozac is a very dangerous drug. I was on Prozac at one stage of my life and the side effects are dreadful, to say the least. However, Prozac alone would cause the type of effects that has been the instance of the Elementary School Shootings.

What we have left in this instance is the possibility that he was under the influence of some form of mind control. The only form of mind control that could possibly come to mind would be hypnotism.

To suggest that there was a microchip implanted in his brain, and that, that was the real reason why he committed the acts that he did, is just too ridiculous to contemplate. He simply snapped and with the readily available supply of guns at his disposal, there was no impediment whatsoever to hold him back.

I have just watched a documentary online that alleges that it was possible to hypnotize an ordinary member of the public to assassinate a national treasure, (in the instance of Stephen Fry) in a packed theater without the subject remembering what he had just done. However, in the instances of such performances one must always look at what has just happened with an open and critical eye so as not to be deceived into believing something that is nothing much more than just another form of stage show or magic.



Showman Derren Brown

In this instance, what we were looking at was nothing more than quite a clever hoax perpetrated designed by the hypnotist Derren Brown for no other reason other than to make a lot of money.  

Definition

Hypnotism is an altered state of consciousness where the mind is relaxed, yet highly focused and suggestible. Hypnotism can occur in different stages of depth.

Suggestibility

According to a Mayo Clinic information sheet, it is possible that hypnotism makes a person's mind more suggestible than it is during normal conscious states. However, this does not mean that a hypnotized person loses control of his actions.

Obeying Commands

A hypnotized person may obey the commands of the hypnotist without hesitation. However, this is because of a state of lowered inhibitions (much like intoxication) and cannot be used in situations where the command runs contrary to the person's values or will.

Stage Shows and Myths

Many hypnotism-based stage shows involve hypnotizing volunteers, then asking them to perform strange or funny acts for the sake of entertaining audience members. Such shows give rise to myths about the power of hypnotism to brainwash people into obedience.

Hypnotism and Action

The Mayo Clinic states that while hypnotism cannot be used to make someone do something against his will, many people find it useful in helping themselves commit to actions they already favor, such as changing bad habits. It may work for people already highly motivated to change a behaviour.

Accordingly, what we are then looking at in the case of the elementary school shootings is the instance of someone who was of unstable mind and simply snapped. For those who then claim to be Christian to come forth with a million other excuses to pardon the actions of someone who was nothing much more than just a sick and deranged nut case, there is really no excuse at all.  

Those persons are just as responsible for what happened as the shooter himself for supporting the gun lobby, because that is exactly what they are doing by making excuses for the shooter.  Adam Lanz was someone who should have been in hospital a long time before he carried out the actions that he did.

Most importantly, there needs to be real and genuine reforms made to the American gun laws, (not excuses) to prevent a similar type of tragedy ever occurring again. Any contemplation about doing nothing at all relative to gun laws in no consideration at all.

The Illuminati Card Games are just that, a game!

Illuminati is a standalone card game made by Steve Jackson Games inspired by The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea.

The game has ominous secret societies competing with each other to control the world through sinister means, including legal, illegal, and even mystical. It was designed as a "tongue-in-cheek rather than serious" take on conspiracy theories.

It contains groups named similarly to real world organizations, such as the Society for Creative Anarchy and the Semiconscious Liberation Army. It can be played by two to eight players.

Depending on the number of players, a game can take between one and six hours.

The Illumanti Card Game is just what it claims to be, a game.

It is not a means by which the Illuminati are allegedly preparing the world for every dastardly and nasty deed they have in store for humanity.

It should not then be referred to in that context once an event such as 911 has taken place as being the Illuminati warning the world beforehand.

Any suggestion in that area should not be treated with any real seriousness at all.

There are yet other sections of Freemasonry that stand over and above the Illumanti.

Accordingly, the Illuminati are not at the top of heap when it comes to designing world wars, or even choosing whom their Antichrist is going to be and when they intend to bring him forth.

Those in the Illuminati may number into the thousands but those who are in the top rungs of the world government may number but a scant few.

Those who designed to game must have had some insider knowledge relative to the plans of the Illuminati but that still does not prove that those who designed the game were Illuminati, and any such suggestion contrary to that should be treated with disdain and genuine scepticism.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.

The Connecticut Shootings - Now the Whole World Asks WHY?

Concurrently there are masses and masses of information floating around the internet and other places relative to the vile and indecent acts Adam Lanza as he set out to slaughter and butcher some twenty innocent children and six adults at Sandy Hook a Connecticut elementary school.

Adam Lanza

My immediate reaction upon hearing the news was the same as the rest of the world of shock, horror and revulsion. In fact, even 24 hours after the event it still takes some dealing with in terms of why someone would want to go out and slaughter so many innocent children and adults for no-good reason at all.

The first point that I made to the good wife upon hearing the news was that it would have to take someone of an unsound mind to even contemplate such actions, let alone deliberately set out and carry through with any thoughts that he may have held in that direction.

However as time went by and the whole world watched this tragedy unfold we all realized that what was appearing on our television screens was not a movie but was real and had actually taken place.

We have all watched these types of events unfold before, but this time it was so evil that words fail to describe what the whole world was seeing unfold.  Instead of the victims being adults what this sick and deranged individual had actually set out to do was to slaughter innocents, small children, or babies, because that is what most of them were, nothing much more than babes in arms.

This time the situation was completely different. What he had actually done by killing small children was to cross over the line into a completely different world. In doing so, he has set a precedent to take humankind somewhere that no one has ever dared go before.

In addition, as far as I can see for that there is never going to be any forgiveness, not in this life or the next. As that is the case, then the only final destination that I can see for Adam Lanza is eternal damnation, as much as it regrets me to have to make a statement such at that.

However, in the case of the victims of this tragedy there is the certainty that they have all gone to paradise. It is certainly the instance that they have all been saved from any further suffering or tragedy that this world could have dished out to them in the future. 

If there is anything that is good at all that has come out of this catastrophe, it is that one fact alone. That is the only point in the positive when it comes to analysing what is otherwise one of the saddest days in the entire history of the USA   

A brief history of that dreadful day

Adam Lanza of Newtown, Connecticut was a child of the suburbs and a child of divorce who at age 20 still lived with his mother.

This morning he appears to have started his day by shooting his mother Nancy in the face, and then drove her car to nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School, armed with two handguns and a semi-automatic rifle.

There, before turning his gun on himself, he shot and killed 20 children, who President Obama later described as "beautiful little kids" between five and 10 years of age. Six adults were also killed at the school. Nancy Lanza was found dead in her home.

A relative told ABC News that Adam was "obviously not well."

Family friends in Newtown also described the young man as troubled and described Nancy as rigid. "[Adam] was not connected with the other kids," said Barbara Frey, who also said he was "a little bit different ... Kind of repressed."

State and federal authorities believe his mother may have once worked at the elementary school where Adam went on his deadly rampage, although she was not a teacher, according to relatives, perhaps a volunteer.

Nancy and her husband Peter, Adam's father, divorced in 2009. When they first filed for divorce in 2008, a judge ordered that they participate in a "parenting education program."

Peter Lanza, who drove to northern New Jersey to talk to police and the FBI, is a vice president at GE Capital and had been a partner at global accounting giant Ernst & Young.

Adam's older brother Ryan Lanza, 24, has worked at Ernst & Young for four years, apparently following in his father's footsteps and carving out a solid niche in the tax practice. He too was interviewed by the FBI. Neither he nor his father is under any suspicion.

"[Ryan] is a tax guy and he is clean as a whistle," a source familiar with his work said.

Police had initially identified Ryan as the killer. Ryan sent out a series of Facebook posts saying it wasn't him and that he was at work all day. Video records as well as card swipes at Ernst & Young verified his statement that he had been at the office.

Two federal sources told ABC News that identification belonging to Ryan Lanza was found at the scene of the mass shooting. They say that identification may have led to the confusion by authorities during the first hours after the shooting. Neither Adam nor Ryan has any known criminal history.

A Sig Sauer handgun and a Glock handgun were used in the slayings and .223 shell casings – a round used in a semi-automatic military-style rifle -- were also found at the scene. Nancy Lanza had numerous weapons registered to her, including a Glock and a Sig Sauer. She also owned a Bushmaster rifle -- a semi-automatic carbine chambered for a .223 caliber round. However, federal authorities cannot confirm that the handguns or the rifle were the weapons recovered at the school.

Numerous relatives of the Lanzas in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, as well as multiple friends, are being interviewed by the FBI in an effort to put together a better picture of the gunman and any explanation for today's tragedy.

"I think the most important thing to point out with this kind of individual is that he did not snap this morning and decide to act out violently," said former FBI profiler Mary Ellen O'Toole. "These acts involve planning and thoughtfulness and strategizing in order to put the plan together so what may appear to be snap behavior is not that at all."

Eye-Opening Revelations and Forbidden Knowledge About Israel, the Jews, Zionism, and the Rothschilds

By Texe Marrs

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea... And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast..."
— Revelation 13:1,4

It’s taken many years of exhaustive research. I have examined literally thousands of documents, manuscripts, and books—many quite rare and difficult to find. But finally, after years of fact-finding and burning of midnight oil, my newest book is here!

It’s title is Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star; perhaps more illuminating, however, is the book’s subtitle: Eye-Opening Revelations and Forbidden Knowledge About Israel, the Jews, Zionism, and the Rothschilds.

I invite you, my long-time friends of Power of Prophecy Ministries, to order one of the first copies of this incredible book. I am sure you won’t be disappointed. Like my recent volumes, Codex Magica, Mysterious Monuments, and Conspiracy World, this new work is huge and encyclopedic in scope. Almost all of the material is fresh and new. Some would say “shocking” as well. I also include a number of selected articles from my monthly newsletter that truly deserve reprinting.

I do not believe that anywhere, at any time, has a revealing book such as this come forth. Never before has the Judaic religion and Zionist conspiracy—thoroughly satanic and serpentine—been put under the microscope and examined with such clarity. Never before has there been such mind-boggling documentation of the crimes, plots, and schemes of many of the world’s most influential—and wealthy—Illuminati elitists.

Famous Men Illuminate Us on the Dangers
Evangelist Billy Graham, in private conversations with President Richard Nixon, spoke of the Jews’ “stranglehold” on America. He warned of the evil power held by the Jews of the “Synagogue of Satan.” The Communist founder Karl Marx, inspirer of the Rothschilds and of Barack Obama, admitted that the God of his fellow Jews is “Money” and their religion is “cash” and the “bill of credit.”

President Harry Truman, who once took a two million dollar bribe from the Jews, said that no-one can be more “selfish.” When the Jews have power, Truman cautioned, “neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the underdog.”

Bobby Fischer, World Grand Chess Master, often called “the greatest genius on planet earth,” boldly proclaimed that, “America is totally under control of the Jews.”

“They’re just unbelievably wicked,” Fischer added, “they’re a criminal people.”

All of these men and more you will encounter in the incomparable Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star. Order it today and discover for yourself the amazing facts about the “culture-distorters,” as twentieth century philosopher Francis Parker Yockey called the Jews. You will also find in the book the grave words of Protestant reformer Martin Luther. Luther at first befriended the Jews but eventually, to his dismay, found out the horror that lies sunk within the Jewish mind. Luther reported that while Christians pray for and bless the Jews, they themselves harbor only the most despicable of intentions toward Gentiles. The Jews among us, said Luther, wish Gentiles and Christians the most abominable fate: “They steal and mutilate our children, poison our water, curse us, and thirst after our blood. They even call Jesus ‘the child of a whore.’”

The Jews’ religion, Luther reluctantly concluded, “is worse than that of the heathen.”

They’re Working to Destroy and Crush Us
More recently, we see that the Jews, Israel, Judaism, and the Rothschilds are working incessantly to destroy Christianity, overthrow our Constitution, undermine our way of life, and rob us through their incalculably greedy Wall Street shenanigans. America is being put in a Communist vise and unmercifully crushed.

Do not think for a moment that this pitiful fate of a once great nation is due to unavoidable circumstance. The smackdown and bleeding of America is a deliberate and planned series of events. And Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star explains exactly who is behind this monstrous plot to savage and unravel America and throw us onto the dust heap of history.

As I disclose in Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star, the astonishing secret doctrine of the Jewish rabbis is that their coming Messiah is said to be a great Holy Serpent and Dragon. The rabbis boast that in the last days, this great beast will rise up from the bottomless pit (the sea of chaos) to conquer and vanquish the enemies of Zion. Is it not remarkable that in Revelation 13:1 the Apostle John gave us this striking prophecy: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea.”

The Number 666 Discovered in the Six-Pointed Star
Please, take just a moment and cast an analytical eye at the cover of my new book, Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star. See the prophesied beast (the Red Dragon) rising up out of the sea of chaos? And make note of the “Star of David,” the symbol of the Jews and of Israel and Rothschild. Count the number of triangles on the Star. Count also the number of outer points of the Star and the number of lines of the hexagon within the Star. Do you not come up with the numbers “six-six-six”?

Now recall also that the Holy Bible forewarns, “Here is wisdom. Let Him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred, threescore, and six (666).”

“Let the Wise Understand”
John also wrote, “And I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit” (Revelation 9:1). Who is this “star,” and who is the “man” with the terrifying number 666?

You will find the answers in Conspiracy of the Six-Pointed Star. And when you do, I am confident that, like me, you will conclude, “Here is wisdom...” Indeed, this book will inspire and prepare you for some very tough days that lie ahead. The beast is fast rising , and when he leaps into action, the world as we know it will be at an end. Let the wise understand (Daniel 12:10).
