The Titanic and You
We all know the story. The Titanic, a British passenger liner, struck an iceberg off Newfoundland on the night of April 14-15, 1912, and sank. It was a tragedy of enormous proportions.
What a splendid ship! Everything a ship designer could imagine was built into it. It was beautiful, magnificent, TITANIC!
It slid out to sea from Liverpool, England, on a serene April morning. Gleaming against the sky, it was majestic. The pride of Britannia rode out to sea. New York was its next harbor.
The notables of society were its passengers and they basked in the splendor of its luxury. Elegance was the word for Titanic's interior. Lavish in its decor, menus, and entertainment, it surpassed the highest expectations of its passengers.
Three-quarters into its maiden voyage-on the fringe of Newfoundland's frigid banks-the Titanic became a catastrophic nightmare. A deceptively large iceberg, detached from the polar ice fields, was drifting into the North Atlantic shipping lanes, destined to keep a predetermined encounter with the fabulous Titanic.
Within two hours, before the dawn of April 15, 1912, the unsinkable Titanic plunged to its death four miles below the icy surface, taking with it more than 1500 souls (including most of the crew) and all its treasure.
But most remarkable of all, the story of the Titanic has incredibly close parallels to the Biblical plan of salvation as the following points illustrate:
"Not even God could sink the Titanic," was the boast of those who put their confidence in a ship built by men. Today we also have the deadly tendency to have excessive pride in our own resources. "As we travel through life, who really needs God anyway? I can make it on my own."
"Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18.
Even when the Titanic struck the iceberg, the crew and passengers were confident that the "small" iceberg could do little damage. We also are deceived into thinking that sin is minor and of little consequence.
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7.
Especially following the underwater discovery of the sunken Titanic, maritime experts have suggested that the structural steel then in use in the Titanic's plates became brittle at icy temperatures and may have fractured after simply bumping the iceberg. Thus there was a major flaw in the construction of the steel. It should have been made more flexible, less brittle, so that it would bend and give rather than break. It has been said that the Ark was made by amateurs and the Titanic was made by experts. The difference is that the amateurs were guided by God and the experts made a fatal mistake. Hundreds of people put their trust in the engineering genius and production of man.
"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. . . Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." Jeremiah 17:5,7.
Official inquiries determined that the Titanic was traveling too fast for the known icy conditions. The excessive speed seemed reasonable. They wanted to make good time and they believed that the ship was invincible.
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12.
This drama of the sea illustrates the uncertainty of life and our need to be ready to stand before our Maker and Judge. When hundreds of very wealthy people initially boarded the Titanic an imminent death was a thought that was not even entertained. We never know when God will call us to pass from time into eternity.
"And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?" Luke 12:19-20.
Just as the great pleasure ship struck an iceberg and sank, so also this great world, with all its inhabitants, is slowly sinking into the cold grip of death.
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment....For the wages of sin is death." Hebrews 9:27 and Romans 6:23.
One of the problems that resulted in such loss of life was that the Titanic was poorly equipped for such a disaster. There were not enough life boats for the number of people on board. There was only enough room for relatively few to be saved. When it comes to the salvation of sinful men, there is but ONE LIFEBOAT, none other than our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. God's Lifeboat, unlike the small boats on the Titanic, has ample room for all those who recognize the great danger that they are in and who put their trust in God's only Saviour and what He did for them on the cross. Those who refuse God's one Lifeboat will perish.
"I, even I, am the LORD, and beside Me there is no Savior....For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Isaiah 43:11 and John 3:16.
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:11-12.
My friend, as you travel on life's journey, it is possible for you to know for sure that you will arrive safely on eternity's shore. Your decisionnow will determine your future destiny. God has provided the perfect LIFEBOAT for you. If we can be of spiritual help to you, please contact us.

In 1898, 14 years before the Titanic made her maiden voyage, Morgan Robertson published a fictitious book entitled, FUTILITY: The Wreck of the Titan. This was the story of an "unsinkable" massive ocean liner, which like the Titanic, was crossing the Atlantic Ocean (traveling from America to England) in that same month of April, with 3,000 people on board. Trying to cross the ocean in record time, it too struck an iceberg (near midnight) and sank. Not only were the ships’ names very similar, but most on board also perished simply because there was a lack of lifeboats (only 13 survived).

The Master Behind the Politics?
As we see our nation falling into the lawless and immoral abyss, amazingly many are wondering how these things can be? They are all pointing fingers but who is truly the engine and one behind the controls of this madness which is sweeping our land and world? The key to comprehending the day and hour in which we live is to see things from Almighty God’s HEAVENLY and ETERNAL perspective (John 17:17, Eph. 6:12, Col. 3:1-2). The world in which we live in is governed by a highly fallen intelligent order of supernatural beings that have been expelled and sentenced to Almighty God’s ETERNAL prison called the Lake of Fire (Matt 25:41, Rev, 20:10).
Lucifer (Satan) knows if he can destroy the American family unit that he can put out the Gospel light that has shined forth so mightily from this nation like none other before it.
Planet earth has become a great battlefield between the fallen angelic host in which humanity has followed suite after Lucifer and his angelic hordes (Matt 25:41, Rev. 20:10-15) Lucifer (Satan) - the god of this fallen and cursed world (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-3) - knows if he can destroy the American family unit that he can put out the Gospel light that has shined forth mightily from this nation like none other before it. Once these ends are achieved, nothing will stop Satan from his vain grand design, the global reign and worship of himself under his Anti Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13).
The key to comprehending the day and hour in which we live is to see things from Almighty God’s HEAVENLY and ETERNAL perspective.
As these days and hours rapidly come to a grand conclusion and we see the exponential evaporation of moral absolutes right before our very eyes – the chief of these being rejection of the Divine institute of marriage - remember what God has stated must be! All things are headed to the world’s final war against its Creator at Armageddon! (Palm 2, Rev. 16:13-16)
The chief question one must ask themselves in this every changing social climate is, “Do I have a personal saving relationship to my CREATOR as the Bible – God’s infallible Word - clearly teaches (John 4:24, Act 4:12)?
As America and this world heads into the Day of the Lord, may you be sure that you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior! He indeed is our ONLY hope!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Lying Black Leaders Tout Highway to Hell
The Father of Lies is really whipping up his hordes lately, and this week we have heard the most despicable, lying words out of the mouths of these people under Satan’s sway who hate their own country and their fellow American citizens.
We are still seeing the most ridiculous reaction to the killing in Florida of the black teenager, Trayvon Martin, by the neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, who claims to have been acting in self-defense.The disgusting overreaction by race-baiting black leaders is grossly irrational, because these people are calling for violence and working their followers up into a senseless frenzy over this single incident of what does appear to be legitimate self-defense by Zimmerman, while at the same time they ignore the epidemic scourge of black on black murders that plagues this nation.
This past week, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright and representatives of the New Black Panther Party all contributed to the polluted discourse of the communist Left. In the case of the New Black Panthers, we are dealing with seriously deranged people who have the sickest of minds and the most diseased of spirits. They are calling for violence in our streets, but the racist Justice Department under Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) does not lift a finger to hold them accountable for their reprehensible, even criminal, words—words which could be said to have inspired recent black on white violence, such as the terrible group of blacks beating and robbing a white man on St. Patrick’s Day in Baltimore, or the black, animal punks who viciously beat a 78-year-old white man in Toledo while yelling, “This is for Trayvon!”
The New Black Panther audio from last week features Michelle Williams of the Tampa chapter of the New Black Panthers and Chawn Kweli, a national New Black Panther spokesmouth on a conference call with their fellow traveling idiots.
Here is a sample of what they said, courtesy of The Blaze,
Williams: I just want to say to all the listeners on this phone call, that if you are having any doubt about getting suited, booted, and armed up for this race war that we’re in that has never ended, let me tell you somethin…the thing that’s about to happen these honkies, these crackers, these pigs, these people, these [m- f-s]…it has been long overdue.”Kweli: “Ya, what she said was right– we got to suit up and boot up…and get prepared for the war that we’re in…this stuff got to boil over, and all your [greats] talked about that happened to be bloodshed involved with revolution- true revolution means some bloodshed, so there’s blood being spilled because there’s a new life that is beyond this bloodshed. There is a new reality that is built upon your original African principles and spiritualities and values and norms that is beyond this bloodshed. But we gotta go do it.
“And as the Scripture said, you gotta to cross it. We gon’ have to cross the Red Sea….I know y’all thought it was talking about some sea in some Middle Eastern part of the world- hell no. We’re talking about some blood. You’re gonna have to cross some blood, and go through some blood and some battles.
That is more than enough to give you an idea of the evil minds of these degenerate vegetables. They go on to declare that they are also at war with capitalism itself, because they blame capitalism for all their woes—well, capitalism and “white” people, that is. How typical of the radical Left to try to blame others for their own problems which result from their own bad behavior and their own bad choices.“And there are those who wish they could stand in this hour, to see the destruction of the devil’s world and the devil’s society- and I‘m ain’t talking about no dude underneath the ground with a pitchfork and pantyhose. I’m talking about that blonde haired, blue-eyed, sometimes brown-eyed, Caucasian walkin around with a mindset, a demonistic mindset, and a nature to do evil and brutality.”
These maniacs on that conference call are ranting about black people being under attack by racism. Apparently they would not know real racism if it bit them in the face, since they seem unable to see it staring, glaring back at them from their own mirrors. Yes, these vicious racists are enemies of their own country, the country in which they were blessed to be born, even though they are too blinded by their mindless hatred to see the gifts that God has given them.
The same is true for Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright. Jackson abused Scripture to push the Left’s insane class warfare platform whenhe slandered Jesus with the moronic claim that Jesus is just like the Occupy loons, because he says Jesus was a class warfare proponent—a damnable lie.
And, Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s dear leader “pastor” of twenty years, said some of the most astonishingly ignorant words you can imagine. But, just like the Devil, Wright manages to weave a grain of truth into a big wad of lies as he declares in part,
Of course God is not for racial hatred and greed, but then Wright steps back in it when he says,The god of racists is not the God of righteousness. The god of the greedy is not the God of grace.
Those are two different gods and I ain’t talking about Allah and Yahweh. Those are the same names for the same God.
Jeremiah Wright and Jesse Jackson both show themselves to be stunningly ignorant of the Word of God, or at least unable to discern its meaning. For Wright to claim that the God of Christianity and Judaism is the same god as worshipped by the Islamists shows a complete lack of understanding of Who God is, because if Allah exists, he is surely Satan, who long ago set himself up as an arch-enemy of God. And, for Jackson to say that Jesus has anything at all in common with the brain-addled, anarchist Occupiers is a display of profound ignorance of Who Jesus is.
Even the vicious New Black Panther goon invoked and misused Scripture when referring to crossing the Red Sea, which he twisted from the miraculous event of the Lord leading the Israelites out of Egypt ahead of the Egyptian army and through the Red Sea that had been freshly-parted by the hand of God. This vile man, Chawn Kweli, attempts to hijack that amazing, historic event and join it to an abominable, murderous crusade by his army of anti-American orcs.
These black leaders are touting the highway to Hell and nothing more. They are inspired by the enemy of God and mankind. Satan is full of senseless, murderous hatred for God and all of creation, and so are these people, his minions. What is their goal? Apparently it is the murder of “white” people and the death of mainstream American capitalism. Why? I am not sure, but it seems they mistakenly believe that if a large-scale race war ensues, and many people die in the streets of America, somehow their lives will suddenly be grand. Kill enough crackers, and all will be right with the world. I suppose that makes about as much sense as any other lie from the pit of Hell.
The question is, how much of this is our country going to take before those in authority crack down on these animals? I am not talking about silencing idiot speech, such as that by Jesse Jackson or the deranged Jeremiah Wright, but criminal speech, like what has been uttered by the New Black Panthers. In our nation it is against the law to make death threats. With impunity, these New Black Panther lunatics are making death threats and calling for violence. Do not doubt that there will be those who accept their challenges, as we have already seen.
How many people will have to die before America stands up and says, “Enough!” to these people making criminal threats and criminal demands for the capture “dead or alive” of a fellow American citizen and making calls for bloody violence to be visited upon their perceived “enemies”? These people must be stopped, and I am waiting to see who has the will to stop them.

Islam's Best Friend in the Day of the Lord!
During the time of the seven year tribulation period the godless gentile world will be seeking the complete annihilation and destruction of the Jews, the nation of Israel and Almighty God's Two Witnesses and messengers (Zech. 14:2, Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:3-6, 12:6-17; 13:7 17:14). It will be during this time (after the Rapture of the Church), that Almighty God's newly chosen army of BELIEVING evangelical Jews in the Messiah of Israel will GO FORTH into the entire world giving the Gospel of Salvation unto ALL gentiles nations (Matt. 24:14, Acts 17:30-31, Rev. 7:9-10)! One particular group which these newly BELIEVING Jews will seek to reach will be their arch enemy of one billion individuals of Islam, whose zeal and hostility toward Israel at present and then will be raging. These Jewish evangelist (during this time) will be sealed by Almighty God for a great Divine task (Rev. 7:1-10). These messengers of Almighty God will lead countless individuals from among the nations to the ETERNAL saving knowledge of the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of the World (Gen. 18:8, 22:18, 26:4, Matt 24:14, John 3:16-17, Gal. 3:8). What is most amazing is that a great number of these individuals will be those of the Muslim people.
One particular group who these newly BELIEVING Jews will seek to reach will be their arch enemy of one billion individuals of Islam.
Today, Islamic nations completely surround and engulf the land of Israel. Israel - as it were - as an atoll in the great Pacific Ocean. Again it will be during this time of the horrific seven year tribulation period(Rev.6-16) that countless followers of Islam will abandon their spiritual ideology for HEAVENLY REALITY and RIGHTEOUSNESS (Rom. 10:2-4). They will OPEN their hearts and minds and cast off their oppressive Islamic ideological shackles and will come to FULLY acknowledge the RIGHTEOUS REALITY that the Messiah (Jesus Christ) of Israel IS also the Savior of the world (Gen. 18:8, 22:18, 26:4, John 3:16-17, Gal. 3:8). When these Muslim individuals come to see this REALITY for all that it is worth, they will be radically transformed and will worship and serve Almighty God their Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH (John 4:24, 17:17)! They will love NOT their lives unto death and will profess to their fellow Muslim brethren that Jesus Messiah Saves (Rev.12:11)!
Even today, countless thousands of Muslims each year are leaving the oppressive and fatalistic delusion of the Islamic religion (i.e, spiritual philosophy).
Even today, countless thousands of Muslims each year are leaving the oppressive and fatalistic delusion of the Islamic religion (i.e, spiritual philosophy). These masses have come to a saving knowledge of Jesus the Messiah, the Savior of the world(John 14:6, Acts 4:12) and have found that it is He ALONE who truly saves and loves and is truly full of all GRACE and MERCY (Isa. 60:1-3, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 8:21-23, Matt. 8:11,John 3:1:17)!
One particular group of people - in which countless individuals will come to a saving knowledge of the Messiah of Israel - will be the Muslim people, who completely surround the land of Israel.
It will be also during the first half of the "seven year tribulation" that countless Muslims from Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Jordon, Iraq, Iran etc. will come to a SAVING KNOWLEDGE of the Messiah of Israel by the preaching and teaching of the Two Witnessesof Israel (i.e, MOSES and ELIJAH). Islam has the greatest respect for MOSES and ELIJAH. It will be by these very two patriarchs of old that Almighty God will send (after the Rapture) and it will be by their MIGHTY ministry that they will lead a remnant of Jews to a saving knowledge to their Messiah and countless Muslims also (Matt. 8:11, 25: 31-40, Luke 13:29, Rev. 7:13-17; 14). Many Muslims will lose their lives for their obedience to Israel's Messiah the Lord Jesus, the Savior of the world, but at the end of this seven year tribulation age - these individuals will be resurrected and given glorified bodies and dwell in the Kingdom age with the Messiah of Israel (Rev. 20:4)!
During the "seven year tribulation", countless Muslims will come to a saving knowledge of the Messiah ofIsrael by the preaching and teaching of the Two Witnesses of Israel and their 144,000 Jewish disciples.
It will be that at the end of this EXPONENTIALLY horrific time period (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev.19:11-21) that all who know the Lord as Savior and survive this catastrophic period (including saved Muslims will enter in to the Kingdom of Heaven under the reign of the Messiah of Israel (i.e., the Lord Jesus Christ) and truly enjoy the fullness of joy with their Savior and Maker, the Triune God (Isa. 2:2-3; 60, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 8:22-23, 14:8-21, Matt. 25:31-34)!
The countless inhabitants from Islamic nations, who have come to a saving knowledge of the Messiah of Israel during this tribulation period will be LOVED and PROVIDED for in the Messiah's 1000 year reign and for ALL ETERNITY (Isa. 19:20-25, Rom. 5:10, Eph. 2:3-5, Col. 1:20-21). Oh my beloved, can you not just rejoice in the WONDROUS GRACE AND MERCY of Almighty God!!!
"In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. "In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance" (Isa. 19:23-25).
.
.
"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound” (Rom. 5:20)
My friend, it is our earnest desire and prayer that many would come to a saving knowledge of the Savior of the world before the Day of the Lord begins! It is ONLY by and through the LOVE of Almighty God that enemies can become reconciled and become brothers and co -labors for the glory of God(Rom. 3:22, 29, 1 Cor. 5:14,12:13, Gal. 3:8,26, Eph 2:14). It is our sincere desire that many would come out of Islam in these days before the Day of the Lord and into a saving relationship to the ONLY TRUE Savior for this fallen world, the Lord Jesus Christ! (John 3:16-17)
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Ideologies, Philosophies and Biblical Reality
There are endless ideologies - political and religious - that have developed and have dominated the human race since the Babel dispersion 4,200 years ago (Genesis 10, 11:1-9). These ideologies are all rooted in the fallen humanity (i.e., inherent depravity) of man, and are ruled by his sensual nature (i.e., the five senses that govern fallen man in this physical world).
There many different varieties of color gumballs in the gumball machine, but all are made with the same basic ingredients. So also is humanity. There are many different cultures, races, religions and philosophies (i.e., “colors”) in the world but all are of Adam's fallen race (i.e., the same humanity) - Romans 3:23, 5:12. All humanity is fallen and all need the Savior! (John 3:16, 17)
Ideology
Webster’s Dictionary defines this as: 1) visionary theorizing; 2a) a systematic body of concepts especially about human life or culture; 2b) a manner or the content of thinking characteristic of an individual, group, or culture; c) the integrated assertions, theories and aims that constitute a sociopolitical program.
The countless fallen ideologies of fallen man may work to some degree in time (based on the moral laws of nature and inexplicable causes, some more than others, etc.), but they are all absolutely bankrupt for Almighty God's holy and perfect heaven in eternity (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rev. 21:8).
Religious Ideology Definition
Religion is the spiritual philosophy or ideology that attempts to answer the basic need of the human heart, which is the longing to fill an eternal void that exists in the absence of a right relationship to its Creator. This ideology is prevalent throughout the multitudinous cultures and various societies of Adam's fallen race. All human history attests to this fact throughout the last 4,200 years since the scattering of people over all the earth after the Tower of Babel.
Political Ideology Definition
Politics is the governmental philosophy or ideology that pertains to managing the natural or physical world in which man lives. Political ideologies establish beliefs (theories) and practices to best govern man in the light of the natural and moral laws of time. Political ideologies are primarily dominated by the religious ideologies of fallen man.
Reality
As humanity develops and out-works these ideologies and philosophies in time, the eternal spiritual absolutes (truths) and natural (moral) laws of Almighty God never change, nor will they ever. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation (Hebrews 6; 18a). For I am the LORD, I change not (Malachi 3:6a). My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips (Psalm 89:34). Almighty God and His Word can be totally relied upon.
In Romans 1:18-32 God tells us what happened after Babel and what were the end results thereof. Humanity had abandoned truth andreality for a delusion and a lie. They had replaced the righteousness of Almighty God with unrighteousness. For about 4,200 years, humanity has been out-working their godless, unrighteous ideologies and philosophies and have been reaping the consequences. The consequences and end results are vanity and death (Eccl. 1:14; Rom. 3:23). The Reality of life is that Almighty God sent His Son (John 3:16-17; Rom. 8:3-4) to redeem man and restore a right relationship between man and Himself (John 3:3-7).
Almighty God's Word states;
God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no mancometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Psalm 119:160).
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? To know Him is to know Reality. To know Him is to know Truth. May you be sure that your "ideology" and "reality" is rooted in the absolute reality of Almighty God and His never-changing Word. Your whole eternity depends on it.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Satan's Strawmen
Do not be distracted by Satan and fallen man's many straw men which only offer vain and hopeless solutions that are rooted in falsehoods and delusional optimistic appraisals. The moral collapse of the American family and moral social structure by moral relativism is FAR GREATER a HORRIFIC DEBT and CONSUMING DRAGON for America then any fiscal crisis or national manufactured crises could ever be. No wonder why sound morality is absolute abhorred by this nation (Republican and Democrat) and has been replaced with a moral relativism that all (conservative and liberal) can adhere to in the blindness and deception of their own mind (Rom. 1:18-32, Jude 1:10).
This dire state and root cause of the America social demise is NEVER EVER ADDRESSED by the media, Republicans, Independents, Democrats, pseudo conservatives, moderates, liberals and progressives. They have - across the political spectrum - redefined; twisted and euphemized truth, reality, morality and absolutes into lawless balloon animals, which are very fragile, unstable and very vulnerable.
.
They have across the political spectrum redefined; twisted and euphemized truth, reality, morality and absolutes into lawless balloon animals, which are very fragile, unstable and very vulnerable.
Sadly it is the way of this fallen world that lawlessness will ALWAYS triumph (Rom. 1:18-32), if not in one great victory, then in slow creeping incremental advances. The world is presently on course to the Day of Lawlessness that will be under Satan's Anti Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13) Humanity is fallen and is always susceptible to the sensual attraction of the vices, desires and transgressions which exalt themselves against the RIGHTEOUS spiritual, natural and physical absolutes for time and for ETERNITY established by our Creator (Gen. 1:31, Matt. 15:16-20, Rom. 7, Eph. 2:2-3, Gal. 5:19-21).
Every straw man of Satan is to get us to look away from the REALITY of the Cross and our ETERNAL destiny.
..
From a sound biblical position it is not hard to see our nation’s short comings and dire estate. What is at the heart of America’s decline and is the common denominator of the majority of the American people (conservative and liberal) is the rejection of Almighty God's ETERNAL spiritual absolutes and His moral absolutes and principles for time. The ONLY solution for mankind's dilemma is a saving personal relationship to our Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH through Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS who is mankind's propitiation for the wrath of Almighty God (Matt. 7:21-23, 15:7-9, John 4:24, Rom. 10:2-4, Titus 1:16, John 2:2, Jude 1:10). Every straw man of Satan is to get us to look away from the REALITY of the Cross and our ETERNAL destiny (John 3:16-17, 2 Cor. 4:2-4).
.
.
As we see our nation wither away and see our nation’s social landscape ravished beyond all repair, do not let your hearts be troubled (John 14:1).Do not deceive yourselves in these last days as countless millions are by putting all of your eggs in the basket of the Republican Party or any other political group and future moderate nominee. There is ABSOLUTELY no hope there in saving this sinking titanic from going to the bottom of the sea. America, your ONLY hope is in the Savior of the world. O nations of the world, your ONLY hope is in the Savior of the world (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31, Rev. 5:9, 21, 22:1-5). America will not survive and in its collapse we will see a horrific seven year tribulation that will engulf the entire world (Rev. 6-19).
There is ABSOLUTELY NO ESCAPE from what is at the door. These things ALL MUST come to pass as Almighty God’s Word has testified to (Rev. 22:20). My dear friend, have faith in Almighty God and the simplicity of His PERFECT Word (Mark 11:22, Heb. 11:1,6). Believe Him and place ALL your trust in Him for it is in Jesus Christ ALONE that there is EVERLASTING HOPE and FULL ASSURANCE (Acts 4:12, Rom. 1:16, Col. 2:2, 2 Tim. 1:12). Do your part to your fullest as an America in these last days all the while knowing that NOTHING will stop the Day of Lawlessness, the Lord Jesus’ glorious second coming and the establishment of His 1000 year reign in TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS! Be sure to see the BIG PICTURE first my beloved then all will fall into place! The TRUTH will indeed set you free from the bondage and tyranny of Satan and his many faceted straw men, which are set up out there to distract you and to get your eye off of his arch foe, Almighty God (the Savior of the world (John 8:32, 36, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Col 3:1-4)!
There is ABSOLUTELY NO ESCAPE from what is at the door. These things ALL MUST come to pass as Almighty God’s Word has testified to.

The Death of Conservatism and the Mark of the Beast
The Conservative movement in America - much like those who fought valiantly at the Alamo - will shortly be overrun and butchered at the hand of a godless and lawless world(Matt. 24:12, Gal. 1:4; Eph. 6:12, Rev. 13). These sobering realities are too much for the majority of American conservatives to think on and understandably so, they do not want to retain this reality in their thoughts. These individuals have put ALL of their trust in this sound and crucial ideology for fallen humanity and rightly so, true conservatism is key for a healthy society and beneficial for obtaining human freedoms and liberties in a world ruled by the oppressive and lawless. The error of many conservatives is their rejection and willful stupidity of the RIGHTEOUS requirements demanded by Almighty God - their Creator - for one’s ETERNITY and well being (John 3:16-17, Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:4).
These sobering realities are too much for the majority of American conservatives to think on and understandably so.
.
Fallen humanity (conservative or liberal) is doomed to failure without their Creator and Savior. Unfortunately, many conservatives want to remain subjective and willingly ignorant about the harsh realities at hand. They cannot let go of their “Conservative Optimism” that insipidly insists that “all will be well in the end"(Jer. 6:14, 8:11; Ezek. 13:10; 1 Thess. 5:3).” Such delusional optimism is rampant in the conservative movement. It is preached by its false prophets of optimism to the optimist Kool-aid drinkers” on the right. We must see “outside the box” of time and look at the whole ETERNAL picture. That is the only way to truly comprehend the day and hour in which we are living in.
These Things MUST Be!
Jesus stated - quite plainly - that all of these events MUST come to pass in the future (Matt 24). All the signs today point to this time and hour when the final out working of godless lawlessness (iniquity) would engulf the entire world(Matt.24:12, 2 Thess. 2:3-12). There is absolutely nothing at present that can hinder this final lawless consumption of the world and the fore told global empire of Lucifer's anti Christ and operation "666" (2 Thess. 2:7-12, Rev. 13). To believe other wise is to be "anti Christ" its self and the height of delusion and folly (1 John 2:19-23). Mankind has exhausted all of its avenues and efforts and as we have seen first hand here in America, these last two years have NOT gotten better but far lawless and far worse.
There is absolutely nothing at present that can hinder this final lawless consumption of global 666.
As the great American experiment is coming to a horrific conclusion what hope is there for any American in this present evil world?

As the great American experiment is coming to a horrific conclusion what hope is there for any American in this present evil world? As our Founding Fathers warned us of what would be when immorality and godlessness reign. May the American conservative look objectivity outside of this world’s limited confines to a place of absolute security and assurance, that place is none other than the heavenly throne room of Almighty God (Rev. 4, 5). Access is ONLY granted by a saving relationship to Almighty God through His Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:8-9). When one places their trust in Almighty God’s saving solution and remedy in spirit and truth (John 4:24), God will save (deliver that one from the limited, temporal confines of this fallen world and race (Rom. 5:12-19, Gal. 1:4). (SEE CHART).
As the lawlessness of man reaches its pinnacle in the seven year tribulation period(Isa. 24, Rev. 6-19), for us who know the Lord, may we rejoice that the GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is at hand; in which Christ will reign for a thousand years in ABSOLUTE RIGHTEOUSNESS! It will be so my friend after His glorious return to earth, at which time He will destroy Satan and ALL his lawless host and forever more reign as King (Isa.11, Zech. 14, Matt. 7:21-23, 25:41,46, 2 Thess. 2:8, Rev. 19:11-21).
It will be so after His glorious return to earth at which time He will destroy Satan and his lawless host and forever more reign as King.
My friend, do you know the Lord Jesus as the Bible – God’s Infallible Word) clearly teaches? May it be so in these last days? The Son has come to set men free from the prison hold of planet earth and deliver them to enjoy Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS (perfection) forever. That is what it is all about. May it be so with you and your heart! You will NEVER be the same!

That is why we just post our initials (to distinguish the different writers) followed by I.F. (Ignorant Fishermen). We want all the Glory and Praise to go to Him in these Last Days!

AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, COME YE AFTER ME, AND I WILL MAKE YOU TO BECOME FISHERS OF MEN. (MARK 1:17)
THE WISDOM OF GOD/THE FOOLISHNESS OF MAN
FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS; BUT UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD. FOR IT IS WRITTEN, I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND WILL BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT. WERE IS THE WISE? WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE DISPUTER OF THIS WORLD? HATH NOT GOD MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD? FOR AFTER THAT IN THE WISDOM OF GOD THE WORLD BY WISDOM KNEW NOT GOD, IT PLEASED GOD BY THE FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING TO SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE. FOR THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM. BUT WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, UNTO THE JEWS A STUMBLING BLOCK, AND UNTO THE GREEKS FOOLISHNESS; BUT UNTO THEM WHICH ARE CALLED, BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD. BECAUSE THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN MEN; AND THE WEAKNESS OF GOD IS STRONGER THAN MEN. FOR YE SEE YOUR CALLING, BRETHREN, HOW THAT NOT MANY WISE MEN AFTER THE FLESH, NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE, ARE CALLED: BUT GOD HATH CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE WISE; AND GOD HATH CHOSEN THE WEAK THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE THINGS WHICH ARE MIGHTY; AND BASE THINGS OF THE WORLD, AND THINGS WHICH ARE DESPISED, HATH GOD CHOSEN, YEA, AND THINGS WHICH ARE NOT, TO BRING TO NOUGHT THINGS THAT ARE: THAT NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE. BUT OF HIM ARE YE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO OF GOD IS MADE UNTO US WISDOM, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND SANCTIFICATION, AND REDEMPTION: THAT, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, HE THAT GLORIETH, LET HIM GLORY IN THE LORD.
