Beware -- False Teachers and Prophets now run rampart within the Christian Church

Pentecostal Pastor - Bill Johnson

There are no doubts at all that some of these more dubious types of ministries are serving some useful purpose otherwise God would not have allowed them to be there in the first place, and then to continue on for as long as they have, in some cases? I have reproduced the work of others to name a certain ministry that is involved in a teaching that goes not only against the word of God, but is in direct contrast to the word of God, as it teaches something that is just another form of occultism. I have not posted the following to attack the ministry of Bill Johnson, but to cite him as an example only as to where the Christian church is heading in some instances. Attacking other Christian ministries/systems of faith/or beliefs is not what this blog is all about, but setting an example to warn the unsuspecting is.

There are those so-called Christian teachers out there who do not abide by the word of God and the world should be warned of the danger they represent, not only to Christian believers, but also to those who are not yet saved. Now that leaves us with quite a dilemma, how do we stop men such as these without actually breaking the law? One article, such as this, on the Internet is not going to cut the ice and thousands and thousands of innocent victims are still going to fall prey to this man. From a personal perspective, and before his name was mentioned elsewhere on the internet, I had never heard of Bill Johnson.

Nevertheless, if there are those out there who feel as strongly as what they seem to over this man the answer to be rid of him is quite is quite simple. A few good Bible believing Christians need to get together and form a group to earnestly seek the Lord over this matter, and ask that he be removed from his so-called teaching ministry forever. When praying say what you mean and mean what you say, and then watch the Lord go to work and he will be gone before he even knows what has happened. There is no room at all in the Christian church for the New Age movement and any mention of it should immediately raise alarm bells?

All that I am saying is that the old paths are the only way. Furthermore, there is no way that I would respect the ministries of others in the same boat as Johnson's, the likes of Derek Prince or Keith Green, and the numerous others who fit into the same category. Where this Pentecostal Charismatic nonsense end, only God knows.

Three scriptures will suffice to describe the False Prophets that we are seeing come to the fore in the latter days: 'The prophets prophesy falsely,and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so.' Jeremiah 5.31.'Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.' 1 Timothy 4.1. 'Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3.5. It is my firm belief that Dispensationalism and the free grace off shoot it represents are very much to blame for what we are seeing going on within many of the modern day churches, the Pentecostal movement in particular.

Who is Bill Johnson ?
Bill Johnson Elijah List Member (born 1951) and his wife Brenda (Beni) Johnson are the Senior Pastors of Bethel Church in Redding, California. Johnson is a fifth generation pastor.

Johnson was born in Minnesota in 1951 and became a Christian as a young child. Soon after, Johnson read seven books on prayer, which significantly affected his perspective and subsequent ministry.

Johnson's father, Melvin Earl Johnson (1929-2004) was the senior pastor at Bethel Church in Redding from 1968-1982 and subsequently became Executive Officer of the Northern California/Nevada District Council of the Assemblies of God. Earl Johnson had four children, all of whom are in full-time ministry, including his eldest son, Bill..

Bill Johnson and his wife began as singles pastors under his father at Bethel. In 1979, they became senior pastors of Mountain Chapel in Weaverville, California. After 17 years, they returned to Bethel Church as senior pastors in February 1996.

Johnson and his wife have three children, Brian, Eric and Leah (married to Gabe Valenzuela). They have eight grandchildren.

According to a recent book authored by Johnson, "Face to Face with God", Bethel is "a church where supernatural encounters with God happen regularly, miracles are common, and the congregation has an infectious passion for spiritual growth."

The church has approximately 1,500 members.

In 1999, Johnson reported that he had observed hundreds of miracles that year, including the healing of cancer, paralysis and broken bones.

Bethel Church and Johnson have been featured in video segments by the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) concerning the Church's unique, spontaneous approach to outreach.

One CBN segment featured a reportedly verified spontaneous healing of a newborn's heart defect while a physician was monitoring.

Their popular 'Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry' has 1100 students enrolled from ages 15 to 85.

Johnson leads a network of churches dedicated to global, multi-generational revival, Global Legacy.

Johnson has authored several Christian books and travels extensively as a featured revival conference speaker.

Johnson is also involved with the Northern California Revival Fellowship, a group of north Californian pastors committed to revival.

Here is a close look into Bill Johnson and his ministry.
Acording to a former student of Bill Johnson, John Wolf exposed him in this newspaper clip stating that Johnson hold to the word of faith gospel, and as such would make Johnson a false teacher. what would put Bill Johnson into question is his love for Benny Hinns gnostic theology [3]. Here is also a audio file testimony of an experience that someone had with one of Johnson's students.

Bill Johnsons teaching on Spiritual DNA

WHAT IS "SPIRITUAL DNA"?
By -Mark Dinsmore
FROM SERMONS AND BEST-SELLING BOOKS to television talk shows, a growing number of people are conversing about "spiritual DNA." But what is it? Almost unheard of five or ten years ago, a Google search for this phrase now turns up 22,400 pages, with authors ranging from mainstream evangelicals to practitioners of eastern mysticism and the occult. Is the term simply a profound metaphor, or does it convey a literal meaning? Does it refer to a tangibly deeper (or higher) truth-or is it purely metaphysical nonsense? Let's examine a few of the ways in which this phrase is "catching on" and test its legitimacy according to God's Word.

First of all, it has become a popular contemporary metaphor by many who profess Christ. In her article "Discovering Our Spiritual DNA" posted on the North American Mission Board website, Meredith Day writes,

Metaphorically speaking, when we are reborn in Christ, He instills in us a sort of new spiritual DNA that makes us hungry to tell others about Him....

This explanation of spiritual DNA seems fairly innocuous-if there is such a thing. But is there-and if so, what is it? Is it biblical to refer to the drawing and conviction of the Holy Spirit as "a sort of new spiritual DNA?" The question, "What is spiritual DNA?" was posed to Liberty University's website. Their response:

The phrase "spiritual DNA" talks about the new nature that you [receive] from God when you are born again....Paul says we have an old nature...called the old man (Eph. 4:22). And then we put on a new man, i.e., a new nature (Eph. 4:24).

This answer seems straightforward, and it assumes the phrase has its primary use as a Christian metaphor. But other professing Christians have stated (on www.schizophrenia-info.info):

When God adopts us into His family....He now lives in our DNA, in our blood, in our spirit. His blood in us is what operates to do His work in our flesh, NOW. We can do His miracles, signs, and wonders....As in human conception, when sperm unites with egg, His Spirit unites with our spirit to become one spirit.

The exact way in which the Holy Spirit resides in the believer is truly a mystery; but ascribing this miraculous new creation to a change in our physical/spiritual DNA is dangerous mysticism. Furthermore, although believers do become "one in spirit," we do not become "one with God" in the sense of the union of Jesus Christ as fully God and fully human. Scripture is clear: our present bodies are "earthen vessels," temporary "tabernacles," and not in any sense "supernaturalized" by a change in "spiritual DNA." They await the blessed hope of our glorified bodies yet to come.

The popular prophet Bill Yount (famous for his ministry of shofar-blowing, which allegedly has mystical powers to "open the heavens" by communicating on God's "frequencies") recently decreed over the babies of Britney Spears and other Hollywood stars,

While some stars argued over who was the father of their children, I heard one Father cry out, "They are all Mine, every last one of them! They have My DNA and they look like Me!"

This error is even more blatantly a contradiction of Scripture. Humans only become "children of God" when they become spiritually adopted "joint heirs" with Jesus Christ by repentance and grace by faith, thereby inheriting the free gift of eternal life. Babies and young children (to an age of individual accountability that only God knows) are not condemned to eternal damnation if they perish prior to receiving Christ; however, they are not automatically (or even metaphorically) God's spiritual "offspring" from birth, nor do they bear his non-existent "spiritual DNA." This is mystical nonsense-similar to "spirit child" teachings propagated by Mormonism and other religions. One website titled "spiritualDNA.net" talks about the "transformation of the DNA of Creation" as "another way of looking at evolution":

The impulse creating life is governing our creation and imprinted in our gene-structure: the DNA....Our imprint is an individual one and the result of soul-radiation into earth matter...based upon the total end result of our karma....We shall be able to bring about The New Age ruled by a New Covenant through a...different kind of praying in Wholeness for everything that lives and grows, visible and invisible.

Most believers immediately recognize and dismiss this false utopian hope as diabolical deception. But what of the following quote from a professing Christian "minister" whose alleged visitation from Christ in 1986-and subsequent "flight" to heaven in 1993-spawned his "Eagle Vision Ministry":

DNA is like a computer program that is placed into our cells...Every one of our [cells contains] a program that is not written in electromagnetic form, [but is] written in chemical form....Eight souls came out of [Noah's Ark]....So whether you like it or not that person sitting next to you is related to you.

This mixture of simile and fact sounds plausible. But the writer continues, making a transition from the physical to metaphysical:

Now in the spirit world there is spiritual DNA....The thought realm, which we [have already] considered and defined to be spiritual DNA, has a structure. The structure is always in a certain pattern. According to that pattern and structure it will produce after its kind. [Spiritual] DNA will reproduce itself. [Emphasis added]

In what appears to be a sincere effort to expound on the Scriptures, which declare "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor 5:17), the writer introduces an authoritative, scientific-sounding concept that has no tangible or biblical basis. This error is serious! Just as do mind-science "experts" (such as those in The Secret), he attempts to take what is useful and understood as physical and apply it "scientifically" to the spiritual realm; but "spiritual DNA," like "thought waves," are only imagined. Would that all Christians test the spirits that bring such "new revelations" as this!

An article titled "DNA and God" by Bill Donahue reflects on a 2004 Time magazine in which the cover story, "The God Gene," recounts a search by laboratories to find "spiritual receptors" in physical DNA. Intrigued by "the fact that change can be made to DNA through electricity," and since "God is not a man" (Num 23:19), and "God is light" (1 Jn 1:5), Donahue (a researcher of "hidden ancient wisdom") reasons that...we are created in the image and likeness of God suggesting that we too are light....DNA has two aspects to it. One is the physical DNA which the body we use is equipped with through the heredity of our parents. The other is what the Buddhists suggest is a spiritual DNA....That is why I have such strong feelings against executing people. Their spiritual DNA will go into a new body...and do the same evil again.

Notice that both professing Christians and metaphysical spiritualists attempt to explain invisible, intangible spiritual processes with scientific research, supposedly backed up by Scripture. Today, this error is being perpetuated at an increasing rate by two "evangelical" movements, the neo-prophetic "New Apostolic Reformation" (NAR) and the Emerging Church. An NAR prophet, Bob Jones, (no relation to the University of that name) and Paul Keith Davis, who annually issue a "prophetic" proclamation called "The Shepherd's Rod," wrote in 2006:

Many people living in this generation have a unique and holy attribute woven into their spiritual DNA. A predetermined virtue provokes us to move beyond the outer court and into a place of Kingdom expression. [This predetermined virtue] is called "divine destiny."

This alleged "divine destiny" relates more to the Hindu concept of Karma (or even Calvinism) than any Scriptural truth; it suggests fatalism. The idea of a spiritual "New Breed" originates from the Latter-Rain movement (deemed heretical by the Assemblies of God and most evangelicals) and dovetails nicely with the New Age concept of a "paradigm shift" or "quantum leap" in spirituality and the evolution of a "christ consciousness" that is expected to unify mankind and bring restoration of "the kingdom of heaven" on earth.

Bill Johnson, another NAR "apostle" and pastor of Bethel church in Redding, California, says in his book When Heaven Invades Earth, "It has been written into our spiritual DNA to hunger for the impossibilities around us to bow at the name of Jesus." This mystical statement sounds lofty, but what does it mean? Could the NAR's Kingdom-Now theology be synonymous with this "new" view below, taken from a book (coincidently titled Creating Heaven on Earth) by Asa Wulfe?

We have been used to thinking of ascension in terms of leaving the Earth to enter a higher plane of being or to reach "heaven." But many now feel...that ascension in our time is really about creating Heaven on Earth, right here and now....This process can be started by activating additional strands of DNA-the spiritual DNA.

Exactly how does one "activate" one's spiritual DNA? By an "inner awakening" experience of some kind-such as yoga, centering prayer, reiki, drum circles, trance dancing, eastern meditation, etc. Even professing Christians are being guided by dozens of "prophetic evangelists" who promise (and deliver) techniques for creating "third heaven visions" and "angelic encounters." Grievously, these spirits are too often untested. In fact, the pursuit of a tangible manifestation of "God" on earth has become a pre-eminent focus for multitudes of spiritually "hungry" believers who have grown impatient waiting for "the blessed hope." Today, increasing numbers are forsaking our Savior's promise to "catch us up" to be with Him, and are instead determined to forge a "golden calf" religion that promises a false rapture of ecstatic encounters "here and now."

While "spiritual DNA" can be an interesting metaphor, its imagined existence breaks down quickly under rational and biblical inquiry. In reality, it appears that the Enemy is using this quasi-scientific explanation to justify a New Breed of spiritual "super-sapiens," brought about by the alleged next stage of human evolution: a global awakening to "christ consciousness"-a harbinger for the "strong delusion" of Antichrist.

ANGEL FEATHERS FALL ON BETHEL (Charisma Magazine -- August 1999)
"...At Bill Johnson's church in Redding, California, small little feathers fall from the ceiling and have been doing that for some time. Bethel has been the sight of some awesome miracles recently. The feathers started dropping after a Morning Star Prophet (the ministry of Rick Joyner) visited the church for a series of meetings. Mr. Kelly, a member of Bethel AOG of Redding describes the appearance of feathers: 'The feathers thing has been truly amazing. I believe it started when we had the Prophet Bobby Conners come to our church for a series of meetings. During ministry time people would see feathers fall from the ceiling and Bobby explained it as a sign of angelic activity... I'm not sure if he was saying they were angel feathers or not. But ever since he came, we have seen feathers falling from the ceiling ... they are very small and delicate, and not many fall, but you can see them from a good distance. God is always surprising us with new things.'"

Ooooooooh! Isn't that spooky! Angel Feathers!!! How FLAKEY can it possibly get? Now we have angel feathers falling in a California Church. Let's all book our airline tickets and rush on out to the "Angel Feathers Church" and see the latest "MANIFESTATION"! No, on second thought, maybe we should just send a Western Union Telegram to the pastor: "Check rafters for pigeons..." And if the dear pastor finds no pigeons in the rafters, then maybe the "Bird" to be removed from the church is "Prophet Bobby Conners"!?

GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!
If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex you don't have to run off to Toronto, Pensacola, or California to see the latest in FLAKEY MANIFESTATIONS. We have it ALL right here in the BIBLE BELT! I am now quoting from the DALLAS MORNING NEWS dated Saturday, October 9,1999. The headlines in the RELIGION section of the paper read with Big Bold Letters: "GOLD RUSH." Glitter-Like Dust is latest proof of God's Presence," Pentecostals say.

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.

Who is Naftali Bennett & why is his party climbing so fast in the Israeli polls?

Naftali Bennett

Naftali Bennett, the rising star of Israeli politics.
Israel's new rock star politician Naftali Bennett strode into the Great Synagogue in Jerusalem flashing smiles at adoring supporters, as shutters clicked and excited whispers rippled through the audience. On Tuesday, according to the polls, the voters will make him the second most powerful man in Israel. He will be either a formidable opposition leader, committed to blocking any attempt to give up land for peace, or more likely a partner in a coalition government, pushing a set of far Right policies that enrage Palestinians and risk a breakdown in Israel's already strained alliance with America. Mr Bennett, 40, leader of the Jewish Home party (Habayit Yehudi), is the first Right-wing hipster in Israeli politics, campaigning in jeans and joking in Hebrew slang, and in an otherwise lacklustre general election campaign, he gets an excited reaction that rivals can only dream of. But although the image is casual, the hard line message is one that no other mainstream politician has ever dared to put forward."I am vehemently against a Palestinian state within the Land of Israel," he told the audience, gathered at the synagogue to hear candidates debate. They roared with enthusiasm.

The fundamentalist Born Again Christian is watching and waiting for the appearance of the world scene of the one the word of God calls the Antichrist. There is not a great deal known about the Antichrist, but there are a few points that stand out with a great deal of prominence when it comes to correctly the Beast of Revelation. He will more than likely be a non-religious Jew, a young man, more than likely involved in politics as either a president of a prime minister. Some Bible prophecy experts have been saying that the Antichrist is going to emerge out of the Middle East, However, as that is only one point of view it is something that I cannot concur or disagree with either way. That is still not to say that there are no doubts at all that he is going to come forth as the peace maker of the Middle East, and that he is going to confirm a seven year peace treaty between the Jews of Israel and the Arab world, Palestine in particular. What we are then looking for is a young Jewish man who is suddenly going to appear on the world scene from virtually out of nowhere who is going to sign a seven-year covenant in the Middle East, something that no one else before him as is able to achieve thus far.

There is no point whatsoever in sticking my neck out and saying that either this one or that one is the Antichrist as to make such predications before a lot more of the Bible prophecies have been fulfilled always results in one outcome, failure. Accordingly, in the instance of Naftali Bennett I am not stating categorically that I think he is the Antichrist. Instead, just that he is someone that we need to keep a close eye on that is all, particularly because of his recent rise in Israeli politics. In addition because of the fact that he has already come forth with some sort of plan himself to settle the whole matter of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. If there is one point that we need to remember relative to Bennett is that he is certainly no one's fool already having sold his software business for a reported 145,000,000.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
