FINALLY! I found an excellent scholar and writer who put everything-- tied everything together so that it made perfect sense! Praise the Lord. And David Reagan says most of the stuff I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL THIS TIME. Thank you.

Today was a better day for me with the good medicine shot into my knees at the VA in Milwaukee, but the lag time in waiting in the crowded room on the 7th floor- Ortho, was like 1 1/2 hours, and so I had a good talk with an old Vet and another and placed 2 of my new pocket bibles while there. All the other people waiting said they were there even longer than I was. I heard that they had 4 doctors giving shots, but the gaggle of RN's seemed like they just congregated by the nurses' station and gossiped about everything except their business. When I first got there, a new 'nurse' or what ever she was had only started in December '09, but was very abusive and bossy [until I straightened her out and wrote down her name-- Joanie], she was short, heavy, ghetto type person with a bad attitude, and so I told her peers about her. She was baiting me to say something 'politically incorrect' and most of you can just imagine..... I told her, "and next you will probably try to play the 'race card.' " Then a few moments latter she tried to lie out of it and said she was just teasing me..... yeah right. I'm not that dumb!
You just can't let people abuse you like that! And it's too bad that Veterans always have to walk on egg shells every time they go to the VA, and be on guard. It never fails.

I wanted to get a hair cut, but the pain in my back, shoulder and L. arm was too intense, so I went shopping for a few items and came home. Sharon had some pork chops and great fried potatoes almost ready for me, and we've been kicking back ever since.

The article below puts things into a nice, easy, floating narrative that explained a few things that I still had trouble comprehending-- but now they seem Chrystal clear. I know that "some folks from the other Camp" will still disagree with me, but that's OK. I am fine with the Biblical reality and outline of Scriptures that brings all the logic together, and now I will have a great example to study from and share with everyone. First I need to study and memorize all the listed scriptures outlined and then practise it and share it with others. I am just saying that David Reagan already put things in a better way than I did, and I can learn from him. I will also send him a letter of thanks and appreciation. Great Read!

2012: End of the World

Posted: 04 Jan 2010 09:12 AM PST

By David Reagan. I think it is clear that all the 2012 hysteria is unfounded. But would it be accurate to say that even if the 2012 date is wrong, we could very well be near the end of the world?Well, that all depends on what is meant by "the end of the world." The only reliable source of information about the future is the Bible. We know it is reliable because it contains hundreds of very specific

This fine article [above] makes me think about the very powerful King of Babylon, who, in Daniel's Day thought that he was invincible and almighty king [of modern day Iraq]. Perhaps he was like Saddam Hussein [who was hanged by his own people] who abused his people too. Jehovah brought the ancient king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, to his knees and he had to admit and recognize that it was God Almighty who allowed mere men to sit on their thrones. For 7 long years, King Nebuchadnezzar, was on his hands and knees eating grass like a beast, until he came to his senses and admitted that God gives the real power. Read Daniel, the whole 4th Chapter for proof. And guess what-- When I reached for my bible sitting on a home made Oak easel that I made a few years ago [and I keep in in easy reaching distance-- [just like I did with my M-16 in Vietnam,as taught by my drill Sergent's in Basic at Fort Campbell, KY] and cracked the Bible open, it fell on the exact correct place I wanted to go to....Ha! That doesn't happen TOO often... LOL. The Bible speaks about the 'Word of God' being like a 2 edged sword in the book of Hebrews. Well, most folks have to practice a lot with a sword or a rifle to get good / proficient with it. Same thing with the Bible. You have to crack that magnificent book OPEN and read whole books [there are 66 books in the Bible] to get the true 'flavor' of what is being said. And hey-- I know that takes alot of effort [not], but I taught my 3 wonderful kids to memorize all 66 books while bouncing them on my knee when they were young. I love them to death-- and now I have two fine grandkids!!
And then there are a few great tools that will enhance your understanding, like: THE WYCLIFFE BIBLE COMMENTARY. Or just go on-line to the free web site of e-sword which will be a great tool for the original Hebrew/ Greek to English translation to get the most pure root words and much more , IMHO. The more reading and study I do in the Word-- the closer I feel to God and the beauty of His wisdom. It's the blue print for LIFE! I figure that out of 24 hours a day, I can at least spend one hour studying and sharing the Word-- the Bible. If we feel that God's promises are true and we are going to Heaven if we ae SAVED -- would it make sense to at least get to know the grand Creator of everything and His perfect ways and Word? I use/ prefer the NASB, but there are many other fine translations, like the KJV, NKJV, etc., and I just bought the, Luther German to Amplified Bible version last week. It gives me a 'mental workout.' The apostle Paul counseled some congregations for still eating 'baby food- milk' when they should have been eating solid food-- meat and potatoes, corn and broccoli. You know, people in China, etc., have to go 'underground' and risk life and limb for just owning a bible!! In America, many folks are too lazy or illiterate to crack open the most important book in the world-- written on a 4th to 5th grade level.

Just the simple economics of OVER SPENDING, printing more paper money and borrowing from China gives me the shakes... LOL, and would give my college Math teacher a cardiac arrest. And the fuzzy Math of the Federal Reserve scares me too.
As I have said so many times--- we need not worry about the Islamic terrorists because AMERICA will "implode" - that means we will fall apart by ourselves from stupid and dangerous economics/ spending!

Now... that DOES NOT mean that I am not a Patriot or UN-American. Flash! The God of the Bible will be around long after America is gone-- and Heaven will be MY Home. Sorry to break your bubble, but God takes the first priority in my life, and if the political leaders are doing wrong, being dishonest and hurting/ destroying their own country-- leaning toward Globalism, just maybe the Patriots ought to take note and tell the TRUTH! Not that we mere humans are going to change God's foretold Plan, but the truth of the Bible needs to be shared instead of wasting valuable time in these 'End Times.' You have the right to disagree-- but take it to the Lord and see what He has to say on the matter.

I will get my injections to both knees in the morning at the Milwaukee VA Hosp! The reason I make such a big deal is that they shots give me a lot of relief, but they only last for a good month or so, and the VA will only give me the long needled shots every 90 days. Mike Ryan, is the good Nurse Practioner, who gives me the shots and we are good friends with mutual respect for each other, and is a Christian too. Praise the Lord for such fine, skilled people who are working there for more than just a paycheck.

Prez gives special power to Foreign Cops in America.

You got to wonder which side obama is on... LOL! Pitiful.

PRESIDENT GIVES FOREIGN COPS POWER OVER AMERICANS

By NWV News writer Jim Kouri

An amendment to an executive order secretly signed by President Barack Obama on December 16, 2009 gives police officers from foreign governments police powers in the United States.

What is most disturbing to police chiefs and officers in the US is that the President has provided foreign officers and international agencies exemptions from laws and regulations to which US cops must comply.

For example, foreign cops operating in the US will not be forced to comply with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. The government has already given the International Criminal Police Organization, or INTERPOL, most of privileges enjoyed by foreign diplomats in the US.

"This Obama executive order is a slap in the face of US cops -- who must adhere to laws and regulations including FOIA -- but also a slap in the face of American citizens who may be abused by these non-citizen cops from countries that don't recognize our constitutional protections," warns former New York City detective and Marine intelligence officer Sidney Franes.

He also pointed out that INTERPOL member countries include Venezuela, Syria, Yemen, Bolivia, Cuba, Iran and Somalia -- all countries unfriendly to the U.S.

When President Ronald Reagan's passed an executive order addressing INTERPOL, it clearly spelled out limitations such as requiring that INTERPOL operations be subject to several U.S. laws such as the Freedom of Information Act. While many opposed Reagan's executive order, it was unchallenged due to the Cold War.

"Under the Obama administration such limitations have been kicked to the wayside by a globalist White House," said Frances.

Obama's executive order reads as follows:

Amending Executive Order 12425 designating INTERPOL as a public international organization entitled to enjoy certain privileges, exemptions and immunities

"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them," Obama wrote.

"What Obama has done is he's given foreign police agencies more power than our own police have or should have. What's next? INTERPOL cops raiding American homes based on unlawfully obtained information?" asks political strategist Mike Baker.

"This executive order signing received almost no media coverage and follows the recent creation of an International Intelligence Agency," he said.

In December 2009, officials unveiled a United Kingdom government security plan examined by reporters from the London-based Daily Telegraph that suggested several countries -- U.S., U.K., France, Germany, etc. -- will submit classified information into a central intelligence unit so that any member nation will have access to it.

But the proposals risk hard won intelligence gathered by U.S. agents being leaked by less scrupulous security services, particularly in the former Communist states of Eastern Europe.

Although the Government has contributed to the proposals being drawn up as part of unifying European countries and their resources, Britain's security services -- MI5, its internal agency, and MI6, its foreign intelligence agency -- will likely put up stiff opposition to these plans, claim Waterfield and Gardham.

"This is serious business even for the United States," said former NYPD detective Frances.

"The United States shares top secret intelligence with the British intelligence and law enforcement agencies. That means that very soon, U.S. secrets will be distributed to nations that should not have access to our military and law enforcement secrets," claims the decorated Marine and cop.

"What worries me is that the people who these Internationalists will spy on, just may be you and me,"
he added.

Historically British intelligence officers have enjoyed a good relationship with their U.S. counterparts, regularly exchanging information particularly in the fight against terrorism.

However, there has been a degree of mistrust between the British authorities and European security agencies. In the 1990s the French intelligence service was blamed for leaking information shared by MI6 to t

When the Time is Right.

Let me repeat again.... WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT-- the Lord will return as He has promised, and not a minute too soon or too late! But real Christians can surely see the "Signs." The main problem, I think, is that MOST people on earth have not READ the Bible to learn about these things, and now days, many kids are not even literate at all, let alone 'Bible literate' -- even with dumbed down versions.

Another big concern is the down ward spiral of the American economy. Wars and battles have been lost for lack of gun powder or ammunition which costs more money and gasoline/ oil. Even if AMERICA made promises it 'intended' to keep, lack of funds could put a crimp in what we can now deliver. And obama looks like he is getting 'cooler' toward Israel these days and demanding 'land for peace.' Guess what?! The dollar could fall or change to a new, different currency in a HEART BEAT! Then watch all 'our' grandiose commitments and promises to others evaporate quick ... and obama and the Dims are so great in passing Bills behind closed doors to spend our tax money of goofy, foolish things. Place not your trust in puny humans who are so full of themselves! YOU will be very disappointed. Been there-- done that, and now I am a bit wiser... LOL.

The following is a very interesting article that makes sense to me, not just because of the logic-- but also the Scripture... even if we leave the 'Rapture'/ End Times part out of it. My circle of friends and fellow church members tend to agree with this point of view-- even as I well know there are 'other camps' of diverse disciplines who love to push hard that 'their way is the only way.' Good for them..LOL! Whoop de doo!
I have also been getting a mess of hate mail for my thoughts and view points of which I will not give them a forum to ambush me on this blog site. It seems like all they can do is to refer me to someone else's big powerful web site, instead of giving me the Scriptural support on their own...Ha! If I am in error the Lord will correct me in His kindness through His own Word, the Bible. And as I have said many times, I will continue to support and vote for the people running for Gov't office who lean toward following the U.S Constitution and all the Freedoms within.

It doesn't even matter if I live to see the Rapture or the coming of the Lord! We ought not to be 'fair weather Christians' or cower before some big shot's web site or organization. Being in a majority never [or going with the flow like a dead fish] interested me in the past, or now. The Bible can NEVER be wrong or inaccurate-- just the 'unbelievers' who never had the desire or time to read it.

I didn't mean to start a hail storm of strife, but some of my humble opinions seemed to have done just that concerning some 'End Time Prophecies.' I am but a humble servant of the Lord, I love the Bible and consider it the Main Truth and Blue Print for my life. I am a humble servant of Jesus Christ and He is my master and Lord, the Source of my eternal Salvation. To put things in prospective, WE Christians-Believers know that we are Saved by accepting the Basic Truths and Commands of our Lord, Jesus Christ--accepting Him as our Personal Savior. We know and understand a lot, but we sure don't know everything. Go figure: What is more important, knowing [or seeming to know] all the fine, tiny details-- or gaining ever lasting Life in Heaven FOREVER ?? From what I gather, we will be learning tons of new stuff and all the details in HEAVEN.... so why sweat the small stuff and waste energy and time? Why argue over small stuff that has little bearing on our life now?

The few camps that fight and quarrel about, Pre- Trib, Post-Trib, Mid Trib, etc, seems like a childish grade school game played at recess. I have out grown that goofy stuff. As my wife and I attended the Baptist church in our small town, I asked some older brothers about this stuff about Left Behind, etc., and they agreed with me that we THINK that we shall be Raptured up BEFORE the Great Tribulation. But if it doesn't happen that way-- we are still servants and followers of Jesus Christ and will obey and worship Him forever! Duh.... I simple don't have the time or space to express every word, idea and scripture that it took me 30 some years to absorb. I know how to be SAVED and can explain and share that great thing with any of my readers... and that means your ever lasting life!

Weather God's chosen people, the people in Israel, the Jews, choose to elect a 'Pre-Empted Strike' against those hostile neighbors who wish Israel total destruction, Iran and Syria, --- is to me a fair and reasonable objective. IMHO, Israel has a much firmer grip on REALITY than the present goofy monkey in the WH, who loves golf more than anything else, it seems, and has been hostile to Israel and friendly to the Muslims. To be frank, after living a very full life, hard work and adventure, in war and peace, I am ready to accept what ever God puts on my plate... be it life or death. Some would say: 'Let's all pull together and get America back to the golden years of pure worship and Patriotism!! Woo Woo! But they have not studied the Bible -- nor History. I am not throwing in the towel-- I looking at reality thru the eyes of a mature Soldier of Christ and serious Bible student! We ARE in the 'end times !'

I may have been so bold as to bet that 2010 will be a worse year-- but only because I have TAUGHT finance and investments 12 years ago for a big Financial Company, and know that we cannot borrow and print money forever without facing the fact that we have to re-pay some day! We need not worry about Islamic attacks-- because we will 'IMPLODE' from within from the crushing big time DEBT and FOOLISH SPENDING ...$$. Wake up, America! Please, don't take my word for it--- just read God's Word, the Bible. If you just don't have the time and energy-- you may be Lost already. To my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I say, 'Lift your heads high [in these End Times] for your salvation is near!'

I have been getting a gush of 'hate mail' because of my recent posts, but not too much Scriptural back ground, and all most of these folks can do is to point to Gary DeMar for reference. While I may respect the man and admit he has a large following, let me say that I have seen such people [humans] come and go, and I will not be bullied. My only source/ last word is the Bible! The Lord could come at ANY TIME! I thought I made that fact abundantly clear, and I will NOT follow mere humans no matter how powerful and wise they see themselves. Paul told the Philippians: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Better yet, who not read the entire Bible instead of parroting some great human leader?? The "End Times" prophecy is but a tiny part of the Message we [all Christians] are commanded to share/ witness to others. See Matt. 24:14, please.... and how many of you wonderful folks will bother to look that up...LOL? We serve God for all eternity, on earth and in heaven, so why split hairs on some minor point? Why do unbelievers, and many so-called Christians fear death so much IF THEY KNOW THAT SHALL BE IN HEAVEN WHEN THEY DIE?? If we set the Rapture aside completely-- would it change the equation at all? I would say NOT because our love for Christ and the Father should remain forever.
