The Return of the Mahdi is Imminent

Two-thirds of a billion Muslims expect the Mahdi – the last Islamic imam they believe will come and rule the world – to arrive in their lifetimes. This expectation is most widespread in Afghanistan (83 percent), Iraq (72 percent), Tunisia (67 percent) and Malaysia (62 percent). Shi’as are more likely than Sunnis to expect the Mahdi to return in their lifetime, by an 88 percent to 55 percent margin.

Don't confuse this with the catching up of the Church to Heaven and the Lord's return in power 7 years later to rule for 1,000 years.

The point is that even Islam and secular sources like the Mayans, Nostradamus and the Oracle of Delphi point to the end of life as we know it.

Women Have to be Second-class Citizens?

This is of course a lie propagated by feminists and those who are ignorant of the Bible. They quote "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. for the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church." Since the husband is the head in the same way that Christ is the head of the church, then the husband should exercise headship as Christ would. The husband should so love his wife that he would die for her.

Also, being subject "as to the Lord" is not onerous, since "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

For a woman to ignore this passage, she must come down from the elevated position where she has been placed.

Responsibility of the Rich

On the National Day of Prayer, the President quoted Luke 12:48b:

“From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.”

Obama has been clear as to how the wealthy will give back. We are not talking about philanthropists like John D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie or Henry Ford or Bill and Melinda Gates. We are talking about a tax rate which hit 90% under a big-government party - Democrats. The person who is given/entrusted much pays to the government, and the government requires much and asks all the more and distributes the wealth as it sees fit. Politicians usually distribute the wealth to those who support them and will vote for them. This is not considered bribery.

Karl Marx said: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." He also saw the government [elitists at the Politburo] as the vehicle instead of the philanthropist. The Bible also says in 2 Thess 3:10b:

“if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”

The context is Christians who were leading unproductive lives. If unproductive Christians were not to receive charity, what about unproductive unbelievers? The correct place for charity is: "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress." Jesus said, “ For you always have the poor with you”. This was to those who thought doing good deeds was more important than being with and worshiping God incarnate.

If we realize that “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”, Jeremiah 17:9, then any requests for charity should be fulfilled with much prayer. It is obvious that this is not a consideration in Washington DC.

The Imminent Return of the Lord

Early in this blog I have made a Biblical case for a young Earth and an imminent removal of the Church from the Earth. In Genesis there are six days of creation and a day of rest. In 2 Peter 3, a day is as a thousand years. The context is Jesus Christ's return. There are 6,000 years and a millineal kingdom (1,000 years). In Luke 3 Jesus' (through Mary) geneology goes all the way back to Adam. The Bible gives the number of years between generations up to historical figures.

Critics say the Bible says “no man knows the day or the hour.” This does not mean that we who have read the Bible and have the Holy Spirit within must be ignorant of when Jesus will come for His Church. When Jesus said that we are in the last days, that is 2,000 years. I believe that the “rapture of the Church” can happen any minute. This means that the Anti-Christ is alive today – probably already an adult. Obama is not the Anti-Christ – although he may be the false prophet.

If you see things getting worse quickly, then read my blog and the Word. I am pre-Trib, pre-Mill so I believe that the Church will be in Heaven with the Lord during the Tribulation and will return with the Lord at His second coming to the Earth. The Church and those Jews saved during the Tribulation will live for 1,000 years with the Lord as King and the curse lifted.

In God We Trust - Others We Vet

Until Jesus takes his rightful place on his throne, we should never trust a man or woman placed in a position of influence above us.

There is none righteous - no not one!

Pray for Obama Psalm 109:8

Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him.
