For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night."
I Thessalonians 5:3-7
"But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this….."
Matthew 13:25-28
"While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out."
Matthew 25:5-8
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will use the Word of God, our God-given discernment, and prayer to examine a prevailing condition that is of the severest danger. I have dedicated the past twenty-eight years of my life to the Word of God and prayer, and I have been a watchman of the prophetic signs for the duration of my ministry. It never ceases to amaze me how so many things can be obvious, and yet the masses of people remain in a condition of indifference and abject apathy. I have come to realize that the people of this world, especially those of the United States of America, are in a spiritual slumber. Satan and his powers of antichrist governance have used various devices and methods to induce this spiritual slumber, and it is a deep and deadly sleep that has come upon America.
The above verses warn us of this very condition, and truly it is upon us. So many things happen in the darkness while people sleep. Men like Barack Obama become President, financial bailout bills are passed, climate bills are passed, and governmental health reform is advanced. Designer influenza viruses seem to appear from nowhere, which provide an excuse for inoculating countless millions of unsuspecting people. Never before has the world been in the condition it is now. Peace is constantly touted, yet we are always at war somewhere. Tares or weeds are being sown or planted among the wheat in this great spiritual field of the world, and confusion is everywhere. Religions are a great problem as well, especially those that wave the banner of "Christianity" and do not know the first thing about obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. The lamps of discernment have gone out.
There is a sleep from which some people never awaken. Some people die in their sleep, and this is also true in the spiritual sense. The United States of America is rapidly being destroyed, and people refuse to wake up and rise up to oppose the evil. Souls are being destroyed by mega-churches, televangelists, and religious organizations; and people sleep on while it happens. We must sound the alarm and bring people to the rude awakening of what is happening to them. It is almost over, and eternity is just ahead. The Apostle Paul wrote of this time we are now living in. In Romans 13:11-12 we read as follows: "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."
While our nation and the world sleep on, you can come fully awake right now and call upon the Lord Jesus with a true and sincere repentance. He will hear you and respond with salvation for your soul, and you will receive a great blessing and purpose in your life. Do it now! Time will come to an abrupt end very soon!
The Rise of Marxist Socialism in America!
Is the United States of America in a state of transition into a Marxist-socialist or even a communist country? Could the sleeping masses of people be so deceived and oblivious to what is going on that the unthinkable is happening? Most educated people are familiar with two books written by George Orwell. One is entitled 1984, and the other is entitled Animal Farm. Both books are about a one-world, communistic government that micro-manages every person. Those infamous words "Big Brother is watching you" came from the book 1984. In the book, the entire world becomes a panopticon, which means you are always being watched. But you don't know who's watching you. In the book Animal Farm, we find a microcosm of the world in the form of a happy farm of animals, protected by a firm constitution, which guarantees individual rights for all. Soon, a gradual but persistent takeover began to transform the farmyard into a communist-socialist state, and by the time many of the animals came fully awake it was too late. Here let it be noted that during the week following Obama's 100th day in office, the massive internet marketplace known as Amazon.com pulled these two books by Orwell on their Kindle electronic-book reader device, saying they are not authorized to be sold because of a questionable copyright violation. (1) They also flatly and assertively stated that there is no government conspiracy! Obama, like Adolph Hitler, must have realized that certain books needed to be eliminated so people would not catch on to what is happening to them! (Amazon has since re-added these books, likely due to public outcry.)
On August 6th, 2009, the U.S. Observer reported that Obama and the White House are compiling a list of enemies that oppose the Obama health plan. Obama called upon all Americans to report on each other if they detect opposition to Obama's plan. This includes e-mails and casual conversation. Here let it be noted for the benefit of any bemused doubting Thomas who may be reading this that Texas Senator John Cornyn called attention to this Obama list of enemies and demanded that Obama stop it. (2) I have no doubt that the hit list continues. The official White House blog also offered a website that Americans can use to "flag and report" each other. I will not list the name of that website in this newsletter for obvious reasons.
Every socialist/communist state also needs a propaganda ministry and the complete management of the news media. Even though the news media have been performing like trained seals for Obama, these were not enough. On July 30th, former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called for a "White House commission on public media" to be established. (3) This would mean that all news would be controlled by the White House in the name of democracy. This is nothing short of a propaganda ministry. We must remember Nazi Germany and Hitler's propaganda minister, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, who was given the job of deceiving the German people for their own good. It was Goebbels who said, "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." I have no doubt that if Dr. Goebbels were still alive, Obama would hire him. Here is one more infamous quote from Dr. Joseph Goebbels: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." (4)
Strange things are happening in this government-in-transition. On July 9th, 2009, the United States Department of the Treasury posted a contractor job notice in an attempt to procure comedians to conduct "humor in the workplace programs." These programs are designed to relieve stress in the workplace for the workers in the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD). (5) Considering the sad shape our country is in, is it a time to just laugh it off? When filthy humor is used in the presence of the misfortune of so many others, it is also a reaction to the spirit of antichrist. It is a mocking spirit of satanic laughter.
It also seems that Barack Obama has taken over the automobile industry in America. On July 15th, Obama put a firm stop on any attempts to restore relationships between the dealers of Chrysler and General Motors' products and their manufacturers. (6) Then came the "cash for clunkers" program. Here let it be noted that this program does nothing for the poor, who are driving the old "rust bucket" cars. They cannot afford to buy a new car even with the $4,500 government voucher. It was the middle class people that came running like squealing pigs to stick their snouts into the new government trough. Many hundreds of thousands of cars were turned in to the government, and of all of those, there were an estimated 560,000 that were in good to very good running condition. The government orders required the dealers to destroy these vehicles. They could not be resold. The dealers were ordered by law to pour an additive into the engines of all of these vehicles, which caused these beautiful engines to seize up and become useless blocks of metal. Then the cars were sent to the crushers for scrap. Many of these vehicles were as new as the model year 2001. There are so many people who could have used these vehicles. But Obama wants you to drive his cars. It is a strange spirit, but we know that Adolph Hitler did the same thing when he ordered the development and production of the Volkswagen, the "people's car," in Germany. Meanwhile, Hitler himself rode around in a gas-guzzling Mercedes. We know that Obama rides around in a heavy gas-guzzling car, which he calls "the beast." Would he be willing to send that car to the crusher?
The elitist attitude of the corrupt government officials reveals their complete lack of empathy for the ones that they call the "ordinary Americans." On July 16th, 2009, ABC News reported that a recent conference of executives for the Social Security Administration, held in Phoenix, Arizona, cost $700,000.00, including dancing girls and other entertainment. The event was held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa. (7)
So much has happened since our country was handed over to a man who cannot even prove he is eligible to be President of the United States. Furthermore, there seems to be a general fear to criticize him in any way, which is a guaranteed right of every American. Obama does not understand that because he was not born in America. I applaud the courageous U.S. Army officer, Major Stefan F. Cook, who wanted to go to Afghanistan, but refused to go on orders from Barack Obama. He demanded clarification that Obama was a legitimate Commander in Chief, and he demanded proof that Obama was born in America. The Major also hired an attorney, and suddenly, the U.S. Army rescinded the orders. Major Cook's attorney issued the following statement: "It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate, and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order. (8) This should have been front page news, but only WorldNetDaily featured the story!
What are Obama's long-range plans? Why is the U.S. Army advertising under their Careers & Jobs posting for workers to staff internment and resettlement camps? The military calls these camps confinement/correctional and detention/internment facilities. (9) The Marxist socialists will continue to move forward as long as people refuse to believe it is happening and continue to do nothing about it. I am sometimes told by people that they don't have time to pray. I believe the time is coming when all you have time for is prayer.
Your Health in the Hands of a Dictator!
One of the greatest controversies in America at this time is the Obama Health Care Reform proposal. On July 30th, 2009, Time Magazine reported that the Obama Administration has made great progress, but it is now being violently opposed by many. The article went on to say that Obama is suffering from frustration over the battle, and he considers it to be his most important domestic issue. (10) The many town hall meetings have become sessions of frenzied screaming and intense opposition to the Obama plan. Congressmen have been shouted down vehemently in these meetings throughout the United States. The response of Obama to all of his congressional emissaries that are holding these town hall meetings was, "Punch back twice as hard." (11)
The new health care plan is antichrist and completely evil. I make this bold statement for a number of reasons, and no, I am not worried about being reported to Obama's hit list. I am already on it, and probably in capital letters. One of the problems with this "Government insurance" is that it allows coverage for any and all abortions for whatever reason. This was verified by an Associated Press article dated August 6th, 2009. (12) The article clearly states, "Since abortion is a legal medical procedure, experts on both side say not mentioning it would allow health care plans in the new insurance exchange to provide unrestricted coverage."
Included in Obama's health care plan is a very dangerous provision that would encourage euthanasia of the elderly. A former New York lieutenant governor, Betsy McCaughey, is actively trying to get the word out about this insidious danger of the health care reform act. McCaughey issued the following statement: "The provision requires senior citizens to submit to end-of-life consultations. Congress would make it mandatory, absolutely require, that every five years, people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner. The bill expressly says if you get sick somewhere in that five year period, you have to go through that session again - all to do what is in society's best interest, or your family's best interest, and cut your life short." (13) Even former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, in reference to this provision, said that Obama's plan is "downright evil." Palin also referred to a "death panel" that would deny care to certain Americans. (14)
