A letter from Walt Weber's daughter.

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

 I am passing along a great letter from my friend's daughter, Barb, who gave me a few more details of Walter Weber's health condition, former helicopter door gunner of the 240th AHC [Assault Helicopter Company] - BearCat, Vietnam: 69-70, with whom I proudly served with at the same time in 'Nam.  You might say that we both belong to an 'exclusive club' that has a very strong 'bond of brothers.'  We might have differences of opinions, argue, fight and joke a lot-- but we will always remain brothers-- with real love and concern for each other.  What really excites me is when I hear that some of these brothers also become my 'Brothers in CHRIST !'  Then we shall meet again in Heaven when we die-- if we don't get Raptured before that.  So it's a double joy, and I so enjoy their emails, phone calls and company!  Thank all my friends on FB who offered prayers and kind words too!
    Thank You, Lord, for letting me serve with perhaps the finest helicopter outfit in Vietnam, the 240th AHC, and allowing MOST of us to return home to the USA and praise Your holy name!   Please heal our friend and brother, Walter Weber, if it be Your will.  Amen.

This is Walt Weber's daughter Barbara.  I cannot thank you enough for sending 
word to fellow 240th member Jim Hood about my dads condition.  Jim is here at 
the hospital with us right now after he made a 200 mile journey to get here.  He 
hasn't seen my dad in 40 years and remembered my dad well.   To do something like 
that.. Get in your vehicle and drive a distance to see someone you haven't 
uttered a word to in 4 decades is amazing.  Hearing some of the old stories and 
also having the support from another 240th brother means so much and has helped 
us to stay positive.  We started video taping Jim from my sisters laptop while 
he was talking to show dad when he comes out of this... From one Christian to 
another I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  About an hour after Jim got 
here (about 15 minutes ago) I went in to see my dad and My dad opened his eyes 
for the first time in 4 days and when he saw me and recognized me he started to 
cry.  We don't want him too upset due to his blood pressure so we stepped out for 
a few moments and I decided to write you.  He's in rough shape and in a lot of 
pain.  He is not out of the clear at this point.. The power of prayer and faith 
in the Lord has gotten me and my sisters through and will carry us forward.  I 
just wanted you to know how much it means and how impactful your getting the 
word out has been.  Thank you so much.

I am very busy today with another 'doctor' appointment at the VA- Orthopedics, but not TOO busy to post this stuff!!  I like the bottom line where Heidi says that the 'Bride groom' has got to be near too, with all these 'events' coming to play.  You got to wonder HOW people can't 'SEE' these things happening in broad day light....' the new "U.S Dept of Peace", being set up in our country.... Ha!  OK, I know that most of us are not detectives-- but just connect the dots... lol!  Seems like the "World is a Chess game" and the king is cornered.  Bless all my friends today.

Waiting in the Wings

by Heidi Swander

"According to the New Age/New Gospel, Christ is not a person.  It is an office. This New Age Gospel teaches that while Jesus of Nazareth occupied the office during His active ministry, He no longer holds that same position.  Today, the office of 'Christ' is occupied by someone else.  And this 'someone else' is presently in the process of establishing contact with humanity.  This 'Christ' intimates that he is already in the world awaiting mankind's call."  So says former New Ager Warren Smith in his new book, False Christ Coming, Does Anybody Care? 

The alleged immanency of this so-called "Christ" is another sign of our [end] times -- one that not many Christians know much about because it's being announced in circles that we don't frequent.  Warren goes on:  "This 'Christ' explains that his New Age/New Spirituality will unify the world's major religions and bring peace to the world."  This grandiose statement sounds an awful lot like Daniel's description of the "king of fierce countenance" (aka, the antichrist) that he refers to in Dan. 8:25: ". . . he shall magnify himself in his heart and by peace shall destroy many. . . "

Warren continues, "This 'reinvented' Christ teaches that all humanity is the body of Christ.  He, as the 'Christ,' is the head.  This 'Christ' states humanity's dilemma is that we have forgotten who we are.  We are not 'sinners' separate from God.  We are all part of the one body of Christ and the one body of God.  Salvation does not come by grace from accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God.  Rather it is achieved -- when we accept ourselves as Christ and when we accept ourselves as God."

Where is Warren getting this information?  From the writings of people like Helen Schucman who transcribed A Course in Miracles for a demonic entity calling himself "Jesus" (lauded by Oprah Winfrey and her frequent guest Marianne Williamson); from the book, Conversations with God, written by Neale Donald Walsch, who allegedly wrote down actual conversations with an entity calling himself "God," but who contradicted pretty much everything God has already written in His Word; and from The Revelation, dictated to Barbara Marx Hubbard by an "inner voice" that came to her in 1966.  For decades the message has been sent that a time of renewal is "at hand."  And the world-at-large -- and even many who call themselves Christians -- are being drawn into the net of a false message, as if from Jesus Christ.  I believe we were warned about this.

Now Williamson, Walsch, Hubbard and other New Age devotees have joined forces to create The Peace Alliance (formerly called The Global Renaissance Alliance), an organization that describes itself as "a citizen-based network of spiritual activists."  Warren explains that this "Alliance was spearheaded by a high-level group of New Age/New Gospel advocates who appeared to be operating from a general blueprint channeled from the spirit world years ago by esotericist and occultist, Alice Bailey.  It is this organization that is campaigning for a new chair on the president's cabinet: a U.S. Department of Peace.  Can you even imagine what such a chair on the cabinet would represent?  Very probably a liaison with the false prophet and the man of sin, himself!

Interestingly, it was after 9/11 that these New Age/New Spirituality representatives found a wide and public platform for their message.  Several key New Age leaders from the former Global Renaissance Alliance "suddenly appeared on network shows that were directly related to the tragic events . . . All of them gave their spiritual perspective on September 11^th and introduced their New Age/New Gospel ideas for creating peace" to the world.  The organization even created a handbook that included a guided meditation for world peace. 

 

In explaining how the New Age Peace Plan will be enacted, Warren explains that each person will be required to ". . . correct any 'misperception' that reinforces the idea that God, self, humanity, and the world are separate from one another.  All fear-based notions of separateness must be eliminated from their thoughts and actions.  No more separatist thoughts about sin, Satan, or Armageddon being real.  Only thoughts of God, love, and peace."

As I examined Warren's short and readable little book, I was overwhelmed with the fact that the enemy's plan is well-advanced.  Scripture verses on a one-world religion and the man who will believe he is God came rushing to mind.  As I said at the outset, this is a piece of the end-times puzzle that the average Bible-believing Christian knows little about.  But we really need to know.It encourages me -- really.  ^th week of Daniel so prevalent, then the appearance of our bridegroom must be near at hand!

The pure Audacity!  Such a small 'postage stamp' country  [Israel] the size of New Jersey that the Muslims, and the rest of the world just can't leave alone, and the world has all but abandoned the 'children of Abraham' -- the "apple of God's Eye", including America!! 

I just got my much desired book in the mail today:  AS AMERICA HAS DONE TO ISRAEL. [The result:  Massive National Disasters]  ~by John P. McTerman. About 300 pages, and I will start reading it soon.   I know it sounds like 'Indiana Jones', but I kind of liked that first movie too.  One thing for certain... you DON'T mess with the Father in Heaven.  He is very patient, long suffering and merciful, but He has His limits and Justice.  I fear Him as a young child fears to offend his beloved earthly father.  It's not a dreaded. morbid  fear, but one where you know your dad has sacrificed and loves you greatly-- and you don't want to fail/ break his loving trust or hurt him.   Of course in real life, my Dad was one to be dreaded and was very strict with me.  But I figured that at age 18-- if I didn't have the required amount of money for college tuition in 1967 [and I was accepted by 3 good Wisconsin colleges]-- I would get my education in the Army, which I did.  NOBODY FORCED ME TO JOIN THE ARMY, as my twisted brother tried to lie about.. and there was always some animosity at home...  I didn't 'run away' or try to 'hurt' anyone, but I was tired of being the 'whipping boy' for everything that wasn't done perfectly... lol., and I was just so hungry for excitement, adventure and wanted to serve my country and be part of something greater than myself.  Something as big as college needed to fill that void in my life.  I was going to get into ROTC anyway.

I suspect that my new book will have a lot of history in it, of course, and Bible prophesy, but that's the nature of the beast.  I already know the final outcome, but it's nice to have all the facts and figures in your mind so as to make a good discussion or argument, IMHO [In my humble opinion].  

So I enjoyed another good chess game with Sharon today, bought more dog food for Deuce, the Rotty-- paid $75 for two medium sized bags- Nutro-something.   And can't we expect dog food to shoot up in price too this Summer!   Lately I have not been giving him MY food, and so he eats his food better.  
Sharon almost had me on the ropes again today as I just had trouble concentrating on the chess game.  I like to teach her tricks and strategies of chess, and I know someday she will beat me, but that's OK.  I have a cold soda pop from the new small frig I bought her and we have a good time!  Nest door/ the next room some woman was screaming and pounding on the walls until some staff came to help her out.. and in that way, it's got to be hard for 'normal' folks/ patients to cope in that environment, and so my heart pains for my wife to have to live there.  But at this point, today, Sharon could barely walk 3 steps to get something for me, and after that I thought I'd better do things for HER!  She was sick last night and vomited, so her legs were 'rubbery' today.   After that we had a short study in the bible starting  from Jeremiah 17:9,  "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"  I explained that our brains [mind] KNOWS the real truth and 'commandments' of God, right and wrong, but the heart is treacherous and finds ways to circumvent and weave secret desires that are powerful enough to do one's selfish things, wants, desires.  We cannot allow our hearts to lead us the correct, right way-- but depend on our "Bible trained conscience!"  It's kind of like the faulty, worldly reasoning:  'Jack treated Jill bad-- so she decided to cheat on him....duh.'    You see, that is what TV and Hollywood portray, and therefore the so-called 'norm' in our everyday life of sin and corruption seems natural and normal.  If we train the mind with the best guide line in the universe, the Bible, ask Jesus to come into our heart --the Holy Spirit will prick our conscience [convict us] when our desires are in the wrong area.  I hope I am not mixing you up or saying this wrong....  We also looked up the first prophecy in the bible:  Genesis 3:15, which has not seen total fulfillment yet.   We Christians are NOT under the old Law Covenant, in any way, shape or form-- yet many churches demand that we ought to be!  But we still need to know and understand the OT [Old Testament].  And so on...  It's the husband's job to teach his wife and children the Bible, but now days you hardly see that anymore.  The churches help, but how do you know that what they are teaching is correct and biblical??  As church after church are failing, closing down, merging with the New Age baloney and ecumenical- ism, the ONLY thing we have left is the pure Bible, and we need to study, know and understand it!!  In the absence of real, Bible teaching churches [especially in these last days and in heathen countries- underground] a group of families [just as in the 1st Century of Christianity-- see book of Acts] would meet in someone private home, and the older brothers would conduct Bible studies.  that is being done now where there are not any churches.  It just may come to that when America pulls away from God, totally, and that time may be sooner than we ,th

UN to Israel: Surrender!

Covenants.

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

More pure logic-- more sense-- in God's Covenants and Dispensations!  All the more reason why God will not let the world truly unite-- to work it's evil in this system.   If we can understand this thought-- we already know why those people, nations and orgs. are all on the wrong track with ecumenical- ism, one world religion and Gov't!  It's just anti-God. 

Again and too often I keep falling into the trap of getting political and satisfying my own selfish desires of 'tripping triggers,' irritating some folks, being a 'rabble rouser.'  That is the imperfect, sinful Tom, full of instant gratification and mischief, sorry.  I am talking about poking fun at politics and the man in the WH, etc.  Actually, all are guilty, sinful, selfish, controlled by the rich and powerful 'powers in the shadows' that pull and manipulate the strings, and remember, please, that Satan is running the whole show-- BOTH Parties, and all Governements.  Should we not learn from the long line of history where many Nations marched up and down in power, and why the so-called 'Golden Age' usually only lasted about 200 years??

Part of my weight gaining problem is due to some of the medications I must take now days, but I probably was raised to eat until full at home, as was my culture and reward for hard work, I guess.  Then we have the genetics and inherent genes and family line to think about.  And then emotional type of eating disorder, or what ever.  While MOST of the world is starving, Americans are getting larger.  I honestly like a good variety and veggies, but it hurts to stand up long enough to cook a balanced meal... so I end up eating the fast foods and baloney sandwiches that are fast and easy to make.  I can and have gone on fasts, but that's not the answer either.  Who knows if I will ever find the right "diet" before the Rapture, or death.  I was well built until the age of 40...and most of you have seen my pix.

Covenants and Dispensations (Part 5)

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 03:52 PM PDT

By Dr. Thomas Ice Pre-Trib Research Center Since I have identified the biblical covenants and classified them as conditional or unconditional, I want to now look at each one and see if they are still in force today and if they are, how they relate to the church age believer. These covenants provide a framework by which we can know how God wants us to behave in every area of life.The Edenic

Citizens of Heaven.

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

I have a very busy day ahead of me, but I tripped over this important article that has brightened my spirits as it agrees with most I have been saying for the past few years up to now-- and might sound 'unpopular.'  Truth is that many 'Christian' churches are falling away from the true business of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Prophecy, pure Christian modest living, etc., and that was my opinion for some time now.  Fact is:  It's really hard to find a real Christian church that isn't mostly about  entertainment and MONEY!  You be the judge-- or maybe that is all most of us know or been raised to believe and experienced.

I feel reinforced right now, even as I endure all the things common to being an older man with personal hardships, pain and worries.  I ought to feel blessed for having a better standard of living than 3/4's of the world, and having Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior!  I AM GOING TO HEAVEN-- NOT BECAUSE I AM A 'GOOD' MAN...but because I am Saved by the blood of Jesus!  Those, especially my extended family, who continue to try to pull me down to the despair and and depravity of their own misery, as jealous malcontents who only want to control, who love to remain ignorant of the Holy things of the Bible-- will be the real losers.  And I know that I shouldn't get so involved in our country's politics-- although it's kind of fun to harass the 'opposition'- lol.  Philippians points out that we are 'citizens of HEAVEN', but the majority of Christians in America are still hoodwinked and misled about our country somehow managing to bring heaven on earth through social and political struggle.  Learn the truth from the BIBLE.

Paul, Timothy, and the End Times

Posted: 27 Mar 2011 12:16 PM PDT

By Jack Kelley GraceThruFaith.com Paul’s letters to Timothy are the instructions from a mentor to a young pastor, one of the first ever, and contain advice on what to do and how to do it, as well as what not to do. It’s the kind of thing you’d expect given the relationship.But for no apparent reason Paul tucked several warnings about the end times into various places in his instructions. These

Day of the Lord.

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

Above:  Tommy Schuckman, about 10 years ago [2001] with his Ram 4 by 4 down by Lake Michigan, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Had a small welding shop/ hobby on the side while I still worked at Chrysler Motors in the same town. I broke my neck [C1 and C2] shortly before buying this Dodge truck brand new.... Ouch!

I should have looked up a few terms, like 'paranoia.'  I suppose we all have fears, of the unknown, snakes [in the WH, etc... lol.. sorry], poverty, death and sickness, etc.  And after you've been misled, lied to, tricked, fooled-- by some false church, religion, Gov't, power [like Satan or his agents], you become "twice shy" and super cautious, IMO.  Anyway, that's the way I feel.  When you [I] have a near death experience or made a big mistake, you say to yourself that you don't ever want to try that again!!  Many combat Veterans are 'hyper vigilant', cautious and watchful because they have been specially trained and have experienced what to do-- and what NOT to do-- so as to survive.  Please have some respect for them, even if they appear to be a little 'strange.'  They are still paying the price for having served their countrymen and nation!  

Many folks worry needlessly about their salvation- not really knowing  the TRUTH of the bible because of false, ignorant, teaching by power hungry/ controlling clergy, false teachers, rich mega churches, ecumenicalism, New Age encroachments, etc. in these last days.   God's requirements for getting to heaven are NOT complicated, foggy or hidden from mankind!  The Bible was written at  the 5th grade level and that grand BOOK of God is available most everywhere [except some Muslim and repressive nations].  I buy and give away many Bibles and bible tracts all the time because I feel it is so important to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ!   See:  biblefortoday.org

Yet, it's so exciting to continue to learn more about God's will and His personality, IMO, that I just love to share these "new" things with my readers and friends, as I continue to learn "new things" too.  Just think:  If you have been a serious Bible student [and I mean an 'average' person with the desire to LEARN!] most of your life and love to dig deeper to find out answers to your questions-- you could become a near expert in that field and help others who have hidden fears, anxieties, worries, phobias,etc, that the devil wants to bedevil us with.   And I believe that is part of 'storing up your treasures in heaven.'

The humanist world might use the slogan:  'Don't sweat the small stuff-- because it's ALL small stuff.'   I would say, 'Cut your worries down to what is really necessary- and leave the rest on God's shoulders.'  But never forget the Christian's primary goal and objective... to magnify God, 'kiss the Son, Jesus Christ' and yield to His teachings and will.  Every person on earth will have had the chance to gain salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ [of course the Old Testament humans have different provisions, and promises/ covenants ..], as we are ALL free moral agents [according to the articles below]!  My eye is trained on the 'lynch pin'-- Middle East, especially Israel, the 'apple of God's eye.'  We ought to know and realize that things could change and happen overnight or in a heart beat, as Israels'  Muslim neighbors continue to launch ordinance into the land that God gave the Israeli people, and PLEASE remember Genesis 12:3, as it has a direct bearing on us today !  Our collective national 'goose' is already cooked, but we as individuals depend and expect God to rescue us, but even death may be a way out if we 'exit' before the Rapture-- and then 'no more worries mate' -- in HEAVEN!
I love your serious comments on this humble Blog/ Journal, and would just love to expand my circle of friendship.  And thank you, always for your prayers.  I will see Sharon in the morning after church... she seems to be doing a bit better lately.  PTL!
Tom   

How Long Is The Day Of The Lord?

Q. In reading one of your Bible studies I noticed you refer to the Day of the Lord as 3 1/2 years. Does this mean the tribulation period is 3 1/2 years not 7? As McGee says you have to put the cookies on the bottom shelf for some of us. A. You won’t find [...]

A Question About Predestination

Posted:

Q. In Ephesians 1:5 Paul writes, “Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.” Now I understand that every time we see predestined in the scriptures, it is talking about foreknowing. So, this means God knew us before we were born and [...]
