The Super Sign-- Israel.

Tom's Journal.http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/tschuckman@aol.com

As I have said so many times before... I love how some Bible scholars/ serious Bible students are so articulate! I humbly try to follow in their foot steps in my own rustic way, and we all continue to learn new things and new words. Just like today when I looked up the term: EPIPHANY -- that moment of surprise and understanding/ Aha!/ when someone finally sees the light and understands something he has been looking for! Such moments are often life changing-- for the better-- just like when I finally found the Lord and was determined to do HIS will [instead of mine]. God is still working on me. PTL.

As I watch some news channels on TV and Radio/ Internet, I get the feeling that the 'powers that be'/ Left Wing Socialist type Gov't controlled media wants to stir things up and make folks scared and frightful. And we all ought to know that gas, oil, cotton and food WILL go up. As if we don't have enough stress in our lives already... lol. Sure, bad things in our lives WILL GET WORSE, and we will just have to deal with them-- but biblical Christians have a secret 'weapon' -- a certain solid gold belief and understanding that God Almighty and HIS Son, Jesus Christ, are controlling the entire game! People continue to pray the 'Lord's Prayer' in Matt. 6:9, yet totally DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT!

My print reading for welders instructor at MATC [Milwaukee Area Technical College] told the class-- but me especially, that the answers and understanding were already in my brain-- that he will help me to understand eventually-- and that made me feel good inside. He was showing us how to turn an object around/ rotate it, in our minds-- to see what was on the opposite side. He got off track sometimes and would teach us many things though unrelated [but so interesting] to the print reading class subject matter, but I loved it. He may have been just a tad racist-- but from his years of experience-- if some folks were not mature enough to shut up and listen-- he didn't have time for them or their child-like foolishness.... sorry. It was one time when we had a short quiz that the teacher told us to pass our papers to the right of us-- to be corrected by another person, that I had a small 'Epiphany moment' when I could not read the other guy's 'writing', and the instructor made a fast cryptic joke to me that made me laugh hard -- and I could read his mind, and we became good friends, even when I had to quit school near the end-- because I needed to find employment in my chosen field of welding-- quick $$$. {This all happened when I was very near homeless in the Winter of 1994-95-- but then I got called back to work with Chrysler-- big bucks and bennies, in May of '95!} I had already graduated from another college a few years prior and had plenty of OJT from past jobs/ experience, but I was seeking to improve my skills and get certified in Heli-Arc / stainless and aluminum welding... As I walked though those halls at MATC and over heard many things-- I figured out that many of the ghetto kids didn't have a clue as to why they were there.... sorry. The rich kids all went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, to become Dentists and Doctors, etc.

We Christians have a most important job right now to share the Gospel with people and tell them exactly what the below article has to say-- that no matter what lies and baloney the so-called 'News Media' spins --and worries people, concerning the big trouble in the Middle East-- God's Plan is rolling just fine, and is right on target! The tiny country of Israel is out gunned, out numbered, out manned, with many times over powered with mighty rockets and weapons of destruction---abandoned by the cowardly leader and Dem controlled Congress, of the USA and all other nations at this time! BUT... God will allow [and help] Israel to be victorious and win this next war with her blood thirty, hateful Muslim neighbors!! And many people will HAVE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT GOD WON THIS FIGHT! But only if we tell unbelievers right now, during and shortly after that war! It's all in black and white-- IN THE BIBLE! Go figure: After the smoke and dust from that battle/ war have cleared and Israel will but her temple again with much more land added as spoils of war-- the Church won't be needed anymore on earth-- and the RAPTURE will take place.
Glenn Beck doesn't have the answer [or doesn't want to share it] and he is NOT a Christian! But he does explain what is happening now, politically. I feel strongly about this coming war and just witnessed to my own mother today about it over the phone.

Please share this blog post, if you think it has merit. Then you will be witnessing too.

Thank you for all your prayers.

Israel: The Super Sign of the End-Times (Part 2)

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:50 AM PST

By Todd Baker B'rit Hadashah Ministries Part of the reason for the return of Israel’s Messiah will be to enforce the everlasting decree of God’s land grant to the Jewish people and to overthrow the nations of the world in league with the anti-Christ who will violently attempt to take the land away from them (Zech. 12-14; Ezekiel 47:13-48:35). In fact, the boundaries God gave for the Promised Land

Bible Truth.

Tom's Journal.http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/tschuckman@aol.com

Through all my years of witnessing to people of all sorts -- most of them would rather jump any other place then listen to what the Bible has to say about the world melt down of money/ currency and economics. They want their 'cake and eat it too !' They LOVE the world of Satan and all the corruption of sin the world can give. I spent some time there myself, but I was always hungry to know the real truth of the Bible, and unfortunately it took me so long to find it---BUT I DID FIND IT.

I was watching some of Glenn Beck today when a Christian Evangelist tried to tell what the Bible says about the political Muslim movement in the Middle East... but Glenn shut him down twice!

Christians who honestly STUDY the Bible seriously KNOW that this soon coming war with Israel will be won [unseemly] by ISRAEL !! When you look at a map of the Middle East-- it's truly a 'David and Goliath' scenario as Israel is out vastly numbered, out gunned 100 to 1. Actually, Israel will over run many parts of her foes and recapture their land for herself!! I think that even America will abandon and cut our support of Israel-- and God will curse America for that reason, among others. God the Father will/ is 'humiliating one of our national gods-- the god of wealth and riches.' We are about to collapse anyway from our economic bumbling, borrowing and stupid economics... lol. All Christians in the USA and other places will suffer too when these things happen, as we are poor humans too, BUT, we have God's assurance that the true Believers will be Rapture-d up to heaven soon enough-- hopefully BEFORE the Trib starts--- but if later, so be it, we are Christians and will do what the Lord tells us. So... this news ought to sooth some of the mental anguish and worry that many of us have today with all the bad, scary news we hear. God has never broken His promises or covenants. God cannot lie [Titus 1:2].

Reading and studying the Bible daily is how God 'speaks to US.' Praying to God is how WE speak to HIM. We also communicate by our actions, in my opinion. So how ought we on earth now use our time-- knowing all this information? You tell me....


I saw Sharon again today and brought her some grapefruits and a radio so she could get WVCY- Christian radio, 107.7 FM, and you can get that fine station on the Internet too. I donate to them every year because I feel that their programming is so good and Bible based. Sharon has a lot of trouble breathing even while she has her Oxygen hose hooked up to herself, and that worries me! She can't take a deep breath without choking and coughing, and just getting on her feet stresses her out and tires her so much. I pray for her constantly-- but she is really in the Lord's hands. I bought a $130 gold pocket watch and gave it to her the other day last week, so she put it on a silver chain around her neck, and she LOVES it, and gets many fine compliments!! I just want her to have some happiness in life-- she is my dear wife. Her new Lap top PC and even her cell phone don't always work well at Woodstock nursing home with 'thick walls' and poor quality maintenance people/ staff. It's hard finding a better place because most of them 'guard' their past records-- so you can't check them out before you check in.
As always, we ask your prayers, and emails/ comments.

Calling the Economic Dictator

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 01:15 PM PST

By Wilfred J. Hahn Eternal Value Review Policymakers around the world continue to bemoan the state of world economic affairs, desperately grasping for solutions. The major challenge today is that nations are inclined to search out solutions that meet their own vested interests. After a long period of global convergence (driven primarily by globalization) globalism is going into reverse. Global

Veteran to Veteran.

Tom's Journal.http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/tschuckman@aol.com

Veteran to Veteran

When a Veteran leaves the 'job' and retires to a better life, many are
jealous, some are pleased, and others, who may have already retired, wonder
if he knows what he is leaving behind, because we already know.

1. We know, for example, that after a lifetime of camaraderie that few
experience, it will remain as a longing for those past times.

2.. We know in the Military life there is a fellowship which lasts long
after the uniforms are hung up in the back of the closet.

3. We know even if he throws them away, they will be on him with every
step and breath that remains in his life. We also know how the very bearing
of the man speaks of what he was and in his heart still is.

These are the burdens of the job. You will still look at people
suspiciously, still see what others do not see or choose to ignore and always will
look at the rest of the Military world with a respect for what they do; only
grown in a lifetime of knowing.

Never think for one moment you are escaping from that life. You are only
escaping the 'job' and merely being allowed to leave 'active' duty.

So what I wish for you is that whenever you ease into retirement, in your
heart you never forget for one moment that you are still a member of the
greatest fraternity the world has ever known.

NOW... Civilian Friends vs. Veteran Friends Comparisons:

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Get upset if you're too busy to talk to them for a week.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Are glad to see you after years, and will happily carry
on the same conversation you were having the last time you met.
----------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Have cried with you.
---------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
--------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.
---------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Will stand by you no matter what the crowd does.
---------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Are for a while.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Are for life.
---------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Have shared a few experiences...
VETERAN FRIENDS: Have shared a lifetime of experiences no citizen could
ever dream of...
---------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will take your drink away when they think you've had
enough.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Will look at you stumbling all over the place and say,
'You better drink the rest of that before you spill it!' Then carry you home
safely and put you to bed...
-----------------------------------------------------
CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will ignore this.
VETERAN FRIENDS: Will forward this.
----------------------------------------------------
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, served one hitch, or reserve is
someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable
to 'The Government of the United States of America ' for an amount of
'up to and including my life'.

From one Veteran to another, it's an honor to be in your company. Thank
you for your service to our country and defending the freedoms we enjoy.

Amazing Pix of Blizzard.

Tom's Journal.http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/tschuckman@aol.com

Below are some sensational pix of the Blizzard of 2011 that I know will interest you all. I am just amazed how severe weather can paralyze so much of the country-- and that just shows us how impotent and puny we humans are compared to the awesome power of God Almighty! For those who doubt that power-- I can only they are simple minded and ignorant. "Ignorance can be cured-- but stupid is forever..." I know that love is blind-- but if someone chooses a stupid person for a mate in marriage-- they are doomed from the start, IMHO. All the hard work of years can be pulled down in a heart beat by a stupid spouse-- either sex. The wisdom of the Bible is so valuable-- especially Proverbs. I can only wish that my parents didn't recommend Bible study when I was a kid..... sorry, but better late than never.

Well, I am waiting here at the PC with the front door open so I can catch the UPS guy who tried to deliver some important meds to me yesterday, but left a stick on note that said he MISSED ME! I surely thought that ALL Gov't and Postal entities would be down and out yesterday in S.E. Wisconsin, and my front walk was all drifted in with snow! A nice teen from church snow blow-d my front walk and porch last night, and said he would come back this morning to do the rest. I gave him a 'gift- $$' and thanked him many times. His Dad just had another hip replacement recently, and I am amazed how that gentleman bounced right back-- already back to work! I get the feeling, and have read and heard that knee surgery is worse than hip surgery-- but I would welcome any input from you readers on that subject.

I just noticed that someone new joined my reader list and that is up to 108 readers for this humble blog! Not many comment anymore [life is a rat race...lol] but many tell me that they read my blog.

Friends, I have to be frank and tell you that the Bible [which is my most important source of information, and life line to God and Jesus Christ] tells us that MUCH WORSE TIMES ARE COMING AND WE OUGHT TO UNDERSTAND AND WATCH FOR THESE THINGS!! Even though this news seems dim, dismal, worrisome, and even 'take your breath away' scary, There is always a 'way out' and salvation is with us Christians!! God has a way out for us, and even DEATH is but a door way to Heaven! I prob sound like I am 'beating a dead horse' -- but the truth is the truth, and the sun will rise in the East every morning!

My son, Andy, just called from Racine, WI. where they got hit hardest by wind and snow, and he asked if he could come over to borrow my snow blower-- so I said, "yes", but only I can drive my Ram 4 by 4, because that is my only means of travel that also carries my super power scooter-- the 3 wheeled Golden Avenger. I just cannot risk loaning out my truck that I half paid off. I will be happy when it's totally paid off. I learned my financial tricks of saving money and paying bills off in less time by giving them more that the usual minimum payment. This works well with houses and vehicles too... and it boosts your credit rating!

I got a good feeling that it's going to be a great sunny day!

Blizzard shuts down S.E. WI.

Tom's Journal.http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/tschuckman@aol.com

I will be age 62 on Feb. 20th, 2011... and I have never seen a snow storm quite like this except in 1973 but that wasn't as bad as today where I live-- between Milwaukee and Chicago. They say that the "twin cities" of Racine and Kenosha, WI., were the 'bulls-eyes' of the storm, and everything around here is paralyzed. Both of my front and rear doors are almost snowed in and the front side walk has a 5 foot high drift right now. I made sure that I let Deuce outside a few minutes ago to water the flowers. I am not crying about the storm, but feel sorry for any stranded motorists right before the arctic below zero temps set in tonight. But it's just like my brother- in- law, Gino, in Tucson, AZ., who said many new comers and tourists die down there because they don't take precautions either, like carrying extra water in the heat.

One of the good things the military/ Army teaches is how to survive in tropical climates-- and cold weather too, of course. We had some good jungle training BEFORE we got shipped out to RVN [Vietnam]. But Germany was very cold for us in early 1968, however Springtime there was just beautiful!

And wouldn't you just know that the Fed Ex'd medications that the VA PROMISED will NOT be delivered to my door today either.... but I have come to expect total failure and broken promises from them. Today is a legitimate reason for non- delivery-- but all the other times had some lame excuse of lie. I am so glad that I got my business down yesterday, and I lack nothing right now with all my stores of food, etc. I did some laundry last night, and will distill more water that I need to fill my Oxygen and CPAP machines to help me breath at night. If my knees were better I would be snow blowing with my big, powerful machine in the garage or using the big shovel, but that would really tear me up so that I would be bed ridden for a week. If it takes two canes to just walk-- how would I use the shovel?

There is no traffic at all, and even the big I-94 Freeways were impassible before with many people stranded. At least it's sunny outside now. When I let the Rottweiler out before, the snow drifts were up to his muzzle and greater, but he is a strong animal and 'bounds like a deer.' 'This is the day that the Lord has made' -- deal with it. I guess that plenty of folks are out of power right now, but Wisconsin usually get them back up in short time-- not like down South... lol. Still, I am sorry for their plight and pain.

His Story.

Tom's Journal.http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/tschuckman@aol.com

Today was a good day for me, and even with the snow storm coming I just 'had to' travel 22 miles to Kenosha, WI., right on Lake Michigan where the waves and wind were high and chilly. I wish I had a movie camera to shoot the huge waves crashing in against the big rocks, etc. there. And even with my 4 wheel drive Ram-- it was still slippery. I moved some money around at my Credit Union, and got some hot food, then came back home. But right now is a good night to stay inside as the temps dip to below zero... and we all wonder if our vehicles will start in the morning... lol. I will also let my kitchen water faucet drip ever so slowly so the pipes don't freeze up.

I confess that I love to 'guess' about the future and have been a speculator with investments some years back after I passed my Securities Fed. exam [6 and 66] in '95. I always made out good!! But now with our present state of economy and the goofy leaders in control-- it's a different story...sad to say. Now my advice is much different as I expect the American economy to tank and melt down--- sorry. But when it comes to the future of current affairs in the world and especially in the Middle East REAL, mature, well studied Christians already KNOW the answers as to the final out come, and what won't work or last! 1st Corinthians 3:19 says: "For the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God." Most of my life until about 12 years ago, I was the same way-- ignorant and prideful, until I 'found the Lord and accepted Him as my personal Savior.' And then things pretty much fell into place-- but it took hard study and the Holy Spirit. Some times we might stray off the path listening to mere mortal man's opinion --- but if we can tie a stout rope to ourselves and the BIBLE, we can right ourselves and get back into the 'program.'

The article explains some great concepts that are good to memorize, and I learned a few things today from it. I try to cherry pick the articles that I find most interesting and share them with you. If I can eat something that 'sticks to my ribs'-- you might appreciate it too. The land that God gave the Israelites 4000 years ago STILL BELONGS TO THEM, no matter what men try to do. If the Jews try to sell or trade any of their land [for peace], they will be in deep trouble with the Lord! The Bible is full of examples of God beating His own people with a stout stick many times-- but He also protects them when they were doing His will. This is how we all know that the next war between the Jews and her hateful Muslim neighbors will be won by God-- for the Jews. This is also my opinion. Many of my friends think that the Rapture should come soon after that regional war--- and then the Trib. On the other hand I might have things messed up/ wrong, and God could take us at any time now, so we ought to stay alert.

But this is not the important part-- as we Christians are servants of the Lord FOREVER-- the long haul! So you might say that some of us Christians like to speculate-- but God is still the boss and He will have His way. The main thing is that we are 'in His fold'
now and doing His will.

I wonder if we will get a foot of snow in the morning like the weatherman SPECULATES in Milwaukee-- with already many places shutting down for tomorrow, well in advance. I only worry about the folks that suffer a loss of power in this cold, icy weather South of us-- even all the way to Dallas, TX. Could you even imagine the Super Bowl being played in Green Bay, WI ?? Ha! On the other hand they may not even have much snow this Sunday.


Israel: The Super Sign of the End-Times (Part 1)

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 07:52 AM PST

By Todd Baker B'rit Hadashah Ministries Preachers and theologians are often fond of saying that History is “His story,” meaning that God plans and determines the details and events that make up human history ruling over the process from beginning to end to fulfill His great purpose for Mankind. Nothing could be truer of Israel. The history of the Jewish people is “His story” played out within
