Is This Really The End?


Once upon a time the United States was a land of abundance and prosperity that was truly blessed from sea to shining sea.  Tens of millions of Americans enjoyed living the American Dream in a land filled with happy, healthy and prosperous people.  But these days it seems as though there are new stories of tragedy and despair almost daily.  Whether it is the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, or the horrific flooding in Tennessee, or the tornadoes ripping through the Midwest, or the gut-wrenching economic despair in cities like Detroit, it just seems like a whole lot of horrible things are happening to America all at once.  So why is all of this hitting the U.S. right now?  Why does it seem like there is just about nowhere in the United States right now that is untouched by a major crisis?
Just consider a few of the items that have been making headline news recently.... 
The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill
Oil continues to gush into into Gulf of Mexico at a staggering pace.  At this point, at least 4.2 million gallons of oil have poured into the Gulf of Mexico, and the Gulf Coast region is bracing for an environmental nightmare of unprecedented magnitude.
The truth is that even if this oil spill is completely stopped tomorrow, the oil that has already been spilled is going to cripple the seafood and tourism industries in the Gulf for years.  The great natural beauty of the region is going to be seriously marred, and hundreds of species are going to have their habitats absolutely devastated. 
It is hard to describe what this oil spill is going to mean for those living along the Gulf of Mexico, but the following couple of quotes do a pretty good job of summarizing where things stand at this point....
"It is so big and expanding so fast that it's pretty much beyond human response that can be effective. ... You're looking at a long-term poisoning of the area. Ultimately, this will have a multidecade impact."
"This is going to destroy the Mississippi and the Gulf Coast as we know it."
The Flooding In Tennessee
Massive storms recently dumped nearly 20 inches of rain on many areas of the southeast United States,killing at least 27 people and putting many areas of Nashville, Tennessee deep under water.
In fact, it is being projected that the damage to the city of Nashville alone is close to a billion dollars. 
The Tornadoes That Have Been Ripping Up The Midwest And The Southeast
The Disappearance Of The Honeybees
Immigration Riots
The Increase In Violent Crime
The Death Of Detroit And Other Midwest Cities
The California Economic Nightmare
Food Stamps: The New Bread Lines

  4. 3:38 don't forget they didn't shower in their entire lives. When the Native Americans greeted them they had to hold flowers under their noses to mask the stench.

    Ahh, our ancestors. What a great bunch of guys.

    (off-topic...sort of):
    God throughout time, has always warned his people about future events. Whether via the Bible's 100's of prophetic verses regarding Jesus birth or John's visions on the island of Patmos (Revelation) or the pending destruction of the world (Noah) or Sodom & Gemorrah (Lot), he's always taken care to "assist" us with future events as we walk by faith. In recent times, he's sent the Virgin Mary (to Church sanctioned locations) such as Fatima, Lourdes, Akita, Guadalupe and is still sending her to Medjugorie to carry out the task of warning us to imminenet events. (Unlike Zukadu, the Virgin doesn't outline Dates & times). However, she continues to call us back to her son Jesus, a prayerful life and elements of the faith which are hard to find throughout the world. (If you're rolling your eyes at me, or worse holding my Catholic faith in contempt...just hang in there for a few minutes more).

    While I don't like to offer non, Church endorsed locations, I can't help but wonder about an alleged visionary in Brazil that is also claiming to receive Marian visions/messages. His native tongue is Portuguese (and someone is translating the text into English at the website below which might explain the lack of fluidity or spelling), however, 3 of these warnings have come true just weeks after being presented.
    1) Haiti (aka "The Land of the Mountain" (Message 3263: 1-7-10)
    2) Chile (Message 3267: 1-16-10)
    3) Oil spill in Gulf (Message 3294: 3-18-2010)

    There are many more calamities presented within and it's not pretty. Pedro Regis's Marian visions have 3 confirmations. You'd think that would create some pause).
    As I mentioned before, the RC Church will not sanction a site while alleged visions/apparitions are on-going. However, while waiting for that ruling, we are to discern the validity of the site by testing its fruits. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 says: 19Do not put out the Spirit's fire; 20do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22Avoid every kind of evil.

    With that said, here is the website. http://www.pedroregis.com/english/mensagens_ing.php

    Again, no need to attack me, Christians, Catholics, the Virgin Mary or anything "religious" as it won't do any good. Plus, I've always wondered why anyone would submit anonymous barbs from afar, could it be for lack of courage?

    If nothing else, begin (or continue) to pray for God's providential protection of our country and planet. Without it...We haven't seen ANYTHING yet!
    Peace

    http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/why-are-so-many-horrible-things-happening-to-america-all-of-a-sudden

    The author of this article uses the rhetorical question "Why are so many bad things happening to America" and closes the article with the answer: Because we've asked God to go away. From the beginning of time, God's greatest gift to us all has been our free will. Regardless of the many misteps we've made, make & will make, he has remained faithful to that promise. However, with all decisions made of our free will, there are consequences. In our current state, we are simply reaping a world devoid of God's providential protection.

    In the Industrialized world, things have become "so easy" that we've simply come to the conclusion that we no longer need God's intervention, "It's ok Lord, we've got it...Thanks." In response to our request, he's pulled back, and in doing so, we're now susceptible to many things he shielded us from in the past. Far be it for me to objectively outline how his divine protection has manifested throughout our nation's history, but I'm certain you can imagine. This isn't to say "Nothing bad has ever happened," but simply acknowledges that whatever bad that was allowed to happen has been FAR LESS WORSE than it could have been in his absence.

    I know this is not a "religious" forum per se, but regardless, to deny his existence or our willingness to eradicate him from our nation, only serves to further my point (and the author's above).

    I've seen some pretty testy (if not hateful) discourse directed at Christians on this board, and that's ok. For those that believe in Karma, or atheism, or any other tenet that purports "coincidence-chance-or moral comeuppance" as the foundation for a belief system, you have the right to do so. While I whole-heartedly disagree with you, I won't lambast or insult you for holding firm to it...(I might however ask you to properly defend said beliefs). If you find yourself with the urge to mock or insult me, don't bother, as it will never have the intended effect.

  8. Well, I also think we shouldn't bring religion into these conversations. For the simple fact we're not all here religious. I just think we should talk about the relevance of what's happening and that's all. We must also stop attacking each other, and show more respect and love for each other. You don't need a bible to let you know how to treat another human being. I'm just saying, keep it relevant in this blog.

  9. If you don't want to discuss religion, then don't! Start your own damn topic.

  10. Yes, I agree with 4:26-Time and blog space does not permit waxing ethereal right now-this is an emergency situation; so please-feet on the shaky tangible ground right now and head in the acrid clouds later!

  11. 4:13 & 4:14 -- I loved your post and I will definitely check out the pedroregis website. I agree we have ignored God and now we are in big trouble.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hey 4:14, "Dad" -- like that isn't anonymous, like you accuse others of? Well at least my real first name is Todd.

    And you? To feel you worship "good" is to selectivly read your own book. And you 'end of world' types are likely to bring great harm on the world through self-fullfilling prophecy. I mean why really work and struggle for everybodys good if you think you are going to get rewarded, and all those 'bad' people punished horrible by your 'loving' god?

    Two hands working accomplish more than 1000 clasped in prayer.

    The Bible is the infallible word of our Lord right? So if you are a TRUE Christian, you follow these these commands:

    Who You Should Kill

    --Unruly or rebellious child. Deut 21:20-21
    --Those who curse or hit their parents. Lev 20:9, Ex 21:15
    --Worshipers of other gods. Deut 13:6-11
    --Psychics, witches. Lev 20:27, Deut 13:6-11, Ex 22:18.
    --Those who do not believe in Jesus (parable). Luke 19:27.
    --Those who work on the Sabbath. Ex 35:2 (Moses kills a gentile for this. Num 15:32-36.)
    --Those who are accused by at least two people of wickedness. Deut 17:6.
    --The children and babies of enemies. Num 31:17, Deut 20:13, Psalm 137:9, Lev 26:29.
    --Adulterers. Lev 20:10.
    --Homosexuals. Lev 20:13.
    --A woman who is not a virgin when married. Deut 22:13-21.
    --Those who are careless with murderous livestock. Exodus 21:29.

    Who You Should Hate

    --Those who eat crab or shrimp. Lev 11:10.
    --Those who sacrifice an animal to God that has a blemish. Deut 17:1.
    --Those who remarry the same person after divorce. Deut 24:4.
    --Homosexuals. Lev 18:22.
    --Those who are proud. Prov 16:5.
    --A woman who wears pants. Deut 22:5.
    --A man with long hair (Jesus?). 1Cor 11:14
    --Those who call others fools Mat 5:22

    Should we still do this stuff?

    --All OT laws still apply in NT. Matt 5:17-19

    ---------------------------------------

    You don't dare to try and FILTER and pick and choose from the word of God right? You don't pull that nambie-pampy "out of context" silliness with passages you don't like, but then wholeheartedly accept those you DO like? That is SIN!

    So either you are a TRUE Christian, and you'll follow those loving commands from God. Or you are doomed to be tortured in hell forever! Oh Glory!

    ---------------------------------
    Note: This is a satire written to show what a horrific work the Bible is, please don't actually hurt anybody! And generally "Christians" who are suprised by it . . . HAVE NOT EVEN REALLY READ THEIR OWN BOOK! Folks would kill and die in fits of rightousness over a book they don't even KNOW?! And of course they want to pick and choose what they think the "real" word is! Many stories from the OT, and the 10 Commandments and etc --- THAT is all ok, but the bats*it crazy commands? Well he is much *nicer* now apparently?! Anyways, crazy. But again, please - don't hurt anybody!

  14. I believe in Jesus but the churches seem to have
    twisted things...editting the bible, adding icons
    having inquisitions to murder, supporting Hitler
    how do you catholics justify or rationalize all
    that? And you Born Agains and old testament
    readers...dont criticize radical/islam...because
    their book says the same brutality.
    It must be wonderful to accept all that and sing
    about it every sunday. I envy you, but limited
    knowledge is my burden to bear. A wise man told
    me religions are spokes on wheel that all lead
    to God. Now, back to economic doom PLEASE

    Isn't your real name: Chris Thiefe? In your rant above you admonished some anonomous poster named dad for withholding his name, but your website blog indicates you to be disengenuously parading around as Chris. Which is it?

    I've got no skin in this game either way...just thought your hypocricy to be telling.

  20. Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth’s authentic teachings reads:
    [Torah, Oral Law & Hebrew Matityahu: Ribi Yehoshua Commanded Non-Selective Observance
    The Netzarim Reconstruction of Hebrew Matityahu (NHM) 5:17-20]
    [Glossaries found in the website below.]:

    "I didn't come to subtract from the Torâh of Moshëh or the Neviim, nor to add onto the Torah of Moshëh did I come. Because, rather, I came to [bring about the] complete [i.e., non-selective] observance of them in truth.
    Should the heavens and ha-Aretz exchange places, still, not even one י or one of the Halâkhâh of the Torah of Moshehshall so much as exchange places; toward the time when it becomes that they are all being performed -- i.e., non- selectively -- in full.
    For whoever deletes one [point of] the Halâkhâh of these mitzwot from Torah, or shall teach others such, [by those in] the Realm of the heavens he shall be called 'deleted.' And whoever ratifies and teaches them shall be called ' Ribi' in the Realm of the heavens.

    For I tell you that unless your tzәdâqâh is over and above that of the [Hellenist-Roman Pseudo- Tzedoqim] Codifiers of halakhah, and of the Rabbinic- Perushim sect of Judaism, no way will you enter into the Realm of the heavens." (see NHM)

    Quote from www.netzarim.co.il ; “History Museum”

    The reconstruction is made using a scientific and logic methodology. One of the premises is that the historical Ribi Yehoshua was a Torah-observant Pharisee (why that premise is true is found in the above website, in which you also will find more information about why a reconstruction is needed).

    The historical Ribi Yehoshua and his followers Netzarim observed Torah non-selectively. The above website proofs that the person who want to follow the historical Ribi Yehoshua must do likewise.

    This is what Ribi Yehoshua taught and he taught in accordance with Torah, that anyone who adds a mitzwah (directive or military style order) or removes a mitzwah from Torah is a false prophet.

    The logical implications of Ribi Yehoshuas teachings, which are in accordance with the teachings of Torah, is that it is Christians whom are lost and need to change their lifestyle in order to get a relationship with the Creator.

  21. Sorry, but it is apparent to me as a Christian that 'New Covenant' means just that, and Jews are no longer Gods Chosen People, they being replaced by Christians, much to the horror of the Jews themselves.

    Love is what I got
    so remember that

    Also, much as many people think they're so smart playing idiot semantic word games, so God also has done, declaring the Jews his chosen people, and then going ahead and defining Jews as Pilgrims and anyone that believes in Him.


    You want to play games?

    You're going to get an endless hall of mirrors that goes on forever.


    It actually sorrows me to see 'Jesus Girl' spouting the very racist Zionist lies that so many Christians today are saying, fullfilling the prophecy that many would be decieved and say 'Lord, didn't we do your work?'

    Hell NO you idiot.

    Into the lake of fire with you.

    But nevertheless, Peace be with you and may the Holy Ghost slam you over the head with a bit of truth and compassion you numbskull.

  22. It's really quite simple, just like the laws of physics. All of this is going on because of universal sin. It's going to get worse, much worse.

    So, repent and make peace with God while there is still time. Then maybe you will be spared and allowed to live on into the coming new world under Jesus Christ. Most people are going to die. Don't be among them.

  23. Man, when I read some of the stuff that goes on in peoples heads, I just have to laugh. People think that if they graduate from high school (or even get a college degree) that they know ALL there is to know about EVERYTHING. But do they? I say, we are all living in a Computer Simulation, a virtual reality, if you will, and I can back up my statement. Do you people ever stop to use your brains for anything other than searching for sex or drugs or food? It takes years, years, and lots of reading, books, books, books, and you'll NEVER figure out what's really going on in our ' REALITY'.
