Part 1 of 2 – Today's News Update: 7/01/2013

Equipping God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the Prophecies of the End Times …

After the Lord revealed to Daniel the prophecies of the end times, in Daniel 12:8-9, Daniel has this conversation with the Lord:

“And I heard, but I understood not; then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”

Loved ones, we are now living in those end times. We are now understanding what the prophecies are revealing to us as we see them literally unfold before our very eyes.

My prayer is, Dear Lord, those who have ears to hear, let them hear what the scriptures are saying. Those who have eyes to see, let them see these revelations we are living in right now as the end times and that time is running out.

On Wednesday, June 26, 2013, the US Supreme Court ruled the Bible is not true and should be ignored. Scripture clearly states marriage is between one man and one woman. Yet, in a vote of 5-4, five Supreme Court justices declared themselves to be wiser than God. We will someday remember this day as a day when judgment was determined for the United States of America.

The Supreme Court of the United States of America determined that the Defense of Marriage Act is an unconstitutional law. To say that marriage is only between a man and a woman is against the constitution of the United States. This court has been stacked for a long time against God and against the Bible and for humanism.

The vote was 5-4 … One person decided marriage was no longer between a man and a woman. One person carried the balance of power in this vote and put himself in a position to say the Bible is not true. You just cannot trust the Bible when it says that God made male and female and said it was good. Genesis 2:24 says:

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.”

That's when God ordained marriage. That's what He intended for marriage to be.

The Supreme Court said the Bible is not true. The Bible is a myth. The Bible is not to be trusted. Our voice is more important than scripture. The opinion of President Barack Obama is more important than the Bible.

I'm talking about this not with hatred nor malice, but not with fear, either. So where are we? Where does this leave us, those of us who are Bible believing Christians? Is there any hope left? After hearing this, my first thought was, only God can help us now. But, actually, He was the only One who could help up before this Supreme Court ruling; when we find ourselves in a place where powers have gained control of the government of the United States of America, that are anti-Bible, anti-God.

You cannot be Christian and embrace same-sex marriage. You cannot be Christian while you trash the Bible. You are either on one side or the other. You either think the Bible is a myth, that It's uncivil (that's what they ruled; that in the name of civil rights we have to have same-sex marriage), or you don't.

They said it violates the rights of married, gay couples. There is no such thing as married, gay couples. How can it violate the rights of married, gay couples when marriage is between a man and a woman? They may be a gay couple, but there is no such thing as a married, gay couple. A man can no more marry a man than a man can marry a dog, or a cat, or a cow. It's just wrong!

Where do we get our sense of right and wrong? How do you tell what is right or wrong? Once you decide that the Bible is no longer the standard of right and wrong, then you just make the rules up as you go along. There is no limit to how far you can go. Then it would just depend on whoever is in power at the time to tell us what is right and what is wrong.

That is what is happening right now. We have kicked to the curb the Bible. We have kicked to the curb the Constitution.

President Obama is going to use the Environmental Protection Agency to set carbon standards. That should only be done by a law enacted by the Congress, and yet he's going right around the Congress and we're moving into a dictatorship ... We're talking about a total surveillance society.

I'm bringing these up because the Bible talks about a One-World Government coming. There will be a man ruling, and he will be a strong ruler. His word will become law. He can tell us when we can buy or sell. He can tell us who we should worship.

You think it can't get there? We didn't think we would ever see the day when the United States of America, 5 people could overturn the will of the US Congress.

They would like to say that all the American people are for same-sex marriage today, but that's not true. Only 12 states have now embraced it. Of those 12 states, only 4 or 5 were done by referendum. The rest were done by liberal courts or liberal congresses that enacted this. So, even though they like to say everyone is for it, most states, when they have the chance to vote, have voted against it.

America, we are either going to value the Bible as God's word, or we are going to go in total anarchy. Who says murder is wrong? We've already broken that stigma down with the proliferation of abortions. Think about this... If a baby is inside the womb, you can kill it. If it's outside the womb, it's murder. How do you do that? Something has broken in the American soul.

I'm not going to lay this at the feet of the politicians. I'm going to lay it at all of our feet. Where are we? I'm asking these questions to awaken all of us...

Are you teaching your children the values of the Bible? Do you even know what the values of the Bible are? Perhaps your parents didn't teach you. If your parents didn't teach you, then you need to open the Bible for yourself and begin to read. David said,

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my pathway.”

First of all, aquire Biblical values for yourself. Associate yourself with a church where they preach the Bible and they don't preach just part of the Bible. They preach the entire Bible. They preach it with ferver and they preach it with love, but they preach it. They don't compromise it. If the Bible says no fornicator, no adulator, no effeminate nor homosexual shall inherit the kingdom of God, don't skip that scripture.

So many people are willing to skip scripture because they disagree with it. If God is God and you disagree with Him, who do you change? Do you change God ... or do you change yourself? If we are to bow before God, that means we submit ourselves unto Him. When God's word contradicts us or our lifestyle, the time has not come to change God's word, which is what is happening today.

These 5 people on the Supreme Court … they know what the Bible says about marriage. Genesis 2:24, as quoted at the beginning of this blog, tells what marriage is.

How did we get to such a perverted stance, where the most prestigious court in our nation could rule that the Bible is not true? They are right and the Bible is wrong? They threw the Bible under the bus. They looked God in the face and said we are smarter than You.

I'm not trying to draw hate on anyone. I'm just saying we are so far from God right now. Remember when Israel got so far from God? They even got so far as to sacrifice their children to false gods. They were sending their children through the fires. We may not do that, but we'll just abort them.

The next step is euthanasia. We've got a real problem in this country and we are going to have more people on retirement and drawing government benefits than the people who are working can pay. Already in Europe, a person can choose to end their life when they are no longer productive. Adolf Hitler did it. Anyone not productive, get them out of the way, end their life.

Could we come to that place in America? We're almost there now. Why not? When we no longer fear God nor reverence His word, we can do whatever we think we should do. That's where we have come to as a nation.

What's the answer? It starts with you and me. I'm not blaming this on President Obama. I'm not blaming this on the Supreme Court, although they will certainly share their burden. They will meet God before too long and will answer to Him. President Obama will stand before God and explain why he was such a strong advocate of abortion. He will stand before God and he will answer why he became the champion of same-sex marriage ~ of sodomy ~ of homosexuality.

I have to stand before God for me. We have to ask ourselves: Have I lost my salt? Am I no longer influential in the world in which I live? Have I become so compromised and so lukewarm, spiritually, that I no longer effect the world about me? 

Bottom line … We need a revival in the United States of America. A spiritual answer is the only answer.
