IF there was evidence of one’s faith, faith would no longer be faith: it would be something else
“For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”
–Romans 8:24
In the near future, there will be (already exists!) an entire world full of people who will be deceived by the counterfeit miracles and lying wonders of the man of sin. Many of these deceived souls will be sitting in churches, congratulating each other on the “powerful move of God” that is taking place and heading to eternal damnation because they have “evidence” in the form of supernatural power about which they had already been clearly warned by the Bible.
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
–Matthew 24:24
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
–2Thessalonians 2:8-10
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.”
=-Revelation 13:11,13
“For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
–Revelation 16:14
Because they placed their faith in the smiling wolves who prowl the aisles and pulpits of their churches; because they trusted in those things which impressed their neighbors, their families and their “church family;” because they put more faith in their own eyes than in the Word of God; because they so badly wanted an experience: these deceived, faithless, lukewarm sight-walkers will be damned for all eternity.
Regardless of how many pot luck dinners and spaghetti suppers they attended at their local church.
This then is the judgment of the sight-walkers: though they have been warned repeatedly by God’s Word for thousands of years, the Word of God is completely ignored and these men follow after supernatural signs, wonders and miracles–particularly those in the churches.
It needs no further proof–or it would not be faith.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
–Hebrews 11:1
Faith is that which is NOT SEEN.
IF it is SEEN, it is not faith: it is something altogether different.
In dozens of little ways, God continually strengthens the faith of those who ask and are sincere.
Relying on evidence or proof or logic or any other faculty of man is not wrong in itself.
But when the leap is made to apply the standards of the world in order to validate what God’s Word declares, then those who follow such things veer off into grave error.
There’s certainly enough of that going around these days.
Especially at the churches, various “ministries” and other misnamed “discernment ministries.”
Is the reader waiting for a sign? Has the reader been hungering for to see a wonder? Has the reader been indoctrinated into believing it will be God–in clear refutation of His Word–working miracles in the end times?
Do not be deceived: God has sent clear warnings in His Word.
Do not be deluded: trust God, not your pastor, not your friends or family, not your senses.
Do not be fooled: God is not mocked.
IF the reader is looking for the evidence of his faith, that faith is not faith. IF any faith remains, that faith needs strengthening.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
The elevation, exaltation and worship of the knowledge of this world has been going on for thousands of years.
Those who use such information place a premium on occult (hidden, occult) “knowledge” which deceives those who are on the “outside” (or the “profane.”)
These groups also uses “knowledge” of so-called “mysteries” to entice the unwary into their web of deceit.
A complete listing of all the knowledge cults from the beginning of mankind is beyond the scope of this article. However, there are several which are very familiar to the average reader.
One of the first knowledge cults which sprang up after the crucifixion of Jesus was the Gnostics (from ancient Greek: ‘having knowledge’). The errors of Gnosticism plagued the early Church and the apostles warned of their “fables” throughout the New Testament.
Gnostics continue their activities today.
Science (Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin scientia, from scient-, sciens having knowledge, from present participle of scire to know;) is the remnants of an ancient, pagan religion focused upon hidden knowledge. However, science is promoted as being a systematic study of nature and world.
Again, science is a religion–which is obvious to any who are familiar with its most zealous adherents. Like Gnosticism, it issues a stream of deceptive narratives to hide it’s true intentions and goals.
EVERY activity and its actors now requires extensive credentials–available to only those who parrot the “knowledge” required of the certifying institutions. From these credential-issuing groups (universities, colleges, government agencies, etc.) flow a never-ending stream of “EXPERTS.”
And these highly-esteemed men of the world (along with their counterparts: those designated by the world as “GENIUSES“) shape, mold and otherwise help direct the opinions and actions of their lesser-credentialed fellow men.
There are other such cults, some more prominent today than others. These other groups will be the topic of a future discussion.
ALL traffic in what they call “knowledge.”
However, the following Mark Twain quote could have been directly addressing the so-called knowledge cults.
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
Does the reader believe his occult activities are really hidden?
Do not be deceived.
It is late in the day. But it is not yet too late to change directions (repent) and throw oneself on the mercy of God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Looking at the search engines, it’s clear that many are searching for answers.
“End times,” “doomsday,” end of the world,” “Armageddon,” ‘prophecies,” “apocalypse,” and “last days” are all popular search terms.
Because men are searching for answers in the wrong places (places other than the Word of God), men will be deceived by last prophets.
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
–Matthew 24:24
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
–1John 4:1
To judge by the number of websites run by false prophets (many of them not particularly clever or sly), a GREAT MANY are not only deceived, but desperately so.
So, because men no longer believe the Word of God, they search the INTERNET for answers.
It appears these searchers are divided into two camps.
The mockers and scoffers, who scorn God’s Word and trust to their own selves.
Those who have a desire to learn something about the end times.
“How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.”
–Jude 1:18
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
–2Peter 3:3-4
The second group, who make up the bulk of those searching for answers are MOSTLY motivated by anxiety, but also by curiosity.
They want to know what the Bible has to say, but they don’t care enough to change their daily routine in order to ensure their eventual survival.
Sadly, they will most likely continue their searching right up until there’s no longer any reason to search.

A President Donald Trump might push for Americans accused of terrorism to be tried in a military tribunal at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the Republican nominee told the Miami Herald on Thursday.
“I would say they could be tried there, that would be fine,” Trump said in a brief interview ahead of his speech to home builders in Miami Beach.
Though a campaign source dismissed it as a “typical” gathering, others described it as a more serious meeting, with one calling it an “emergency meeting.” It comes at a time of mounting tension between the campaign and the Republican National Committee, which is facing pressure to pull the plug on Trump’s campaign and redirect party funds down ballot to protect congressional majorities endangered by Trump’s candidacy.
Multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation, according to a former senior law enforcement official.
“There are twenty-seven specific complaints against the British Crown set forth in the Declaration of Independence. To modern ears they still sound reasonable, in large part, because so many of them can be leveled against the federal government of the United States.”

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Texas and 12 other states will ask a federal judge Friday to halt the Obama administration’s plan allowing transgender students to use school bathrooms based on their gender identity.
Two headlines for the reader’s consideration on the topic of gender as it is being redefined.
1- Target eradicating gender from kids department – No matter how “gender-free” Target becomes, all one has to do is look around. Mutilation + hormones does not equal a different gender; it only equals a mutilated, doped-up body.
Gee, gender might be more than just “What I believe.”
Feeling like you’re another gender is the logical result of the “self-esteem” movement. It didn’t matter whether a kid was smart or athletic, as long as he “felt” like he was.
It doesn’t matter what the evidence, it’s all about the feelings.
One would think that even the workers of iniquity would recognize the times. But then, they are twice deceived. They are deceived that they are the top of the spiritual and celestial food chain and also into believing that they control events.
They do manipulate events (according to God’s plan), but God has already forewarned Christians in His Word. He has already seen the end from the beginning and declared the workers of iniquity’s fate.
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:”
—Isaiah 46:9-10
And still they rage.
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”
—Psalm 2:1-5
Cashing in on cover-up theories – The Corporate Media is a vile institution. It shines a light on certain subject matter, about which it is apparently insatiable.
One such topic is the “JFK assassination.”
Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) yammers on about the events, the supposed events, the events both real and imagined. THEN, it criticizes any person who dares follow it’s lead down that rabbit trail by labeling them a “conspiracy theorist.”
The events surrounding JFK on November 22, 1963 are not as Americans have been led to believe.
Because the Corporate Media is Satan’s Mouthpiece, there is no truth in it.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. “
–John 8:44
One way to discern what really happened: just to in the OPPOSITE direction from the trails laid by the media.
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
–James 4:4
One always wonders who Robertson’s is referring to when he says “Lord.”
Baal was the name of the supreme god worshiped in ancient Canaan and Phoenicia. The practice of Baal worship infiltrated Jewish religious life during the time of the Judges (Judges 3:7), became widespread in Israel during the reign of Ahab (1 Kings 16:31-33) and also affected Judah (2 Chronicles 28:1-2). The word baal means “lord”;
If there was evidence, it wouldn’t be faith. It would be something else
“For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”
–Romans 8:24
There will be an entire world full of people in the near future who will be deceived by the counterfeit miracles and lying wonders of the man of sin. These deceived souls will be sitting in churches, congratulating each other on the “powerful move of God” that is taking place and heading to eternal damnation because they have “evidence” in the form of supernatural power.
The entire premise of the linked article is wrong. What the person quoted in the article said was right–if applied to a hard science. If the premise referred to science or mathematics or logic (or any man-centered bits of knowledge), then it might not be wrong.
When the leap was made to apply the standards of the world to Christianity in order to validate it, then the author veered off into grave error.
There’s certainly enough of that going around these days.
Especially at the misnamed “discernment ministries.”
Radiation can kill you, and it can do it in horrific fashion. No one disputes that. Misunderstanding radiation, however, complicates already complicated problems, such as how to store nuclear waste, where to site new reactors, and how to dismantle old ones. The ubiquity of natural radiation, its invisibility to humans, the connection to nuclear war and to reactor meltdowns all contribute to public confusion and anxiety. “The extent of the overestimation even in the scientific community is quite striking,” Jordan said.
Some may wonder: What’s the endgame in all of this?
No, this isn’t a reference to DHS’ Operation Endgame. What is the eventual outcome that is planned?
The following is a bit of speculation based on what has been happening, memes in the media and some predictive programming cues that have been left lying around in the entertainment/media world. It is informed SPECULATION. It is not based on anything but information that is available to most people who are willing to look at the media objectively.
OF COURSE, following the media can be a dangerous business: the Corporate Media is Satan’s Mouthpiece.
There is no truth to be found in them.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. “
–John 8:44
At some point, this writer may speculate further on the following events, but for now, here’s a few highlights based on what the media has been telling Americans.
IF the reader protests that this could never happen in America, remember what was said after 9/11. Even if all of the following events come to pass, there will STILL be Americans who will deride “conspiracy theories”–right up until the moment that events overtake them, whatever those events may be.
1- There appears to be a build-up for a near future “terror event” in the USA. This will likely be blamed on al Qaeda. Perhaps even al Qaeda being aided by domestic terrorists composed of some members of specific, targeted groups. But this last twist could be announced after the initial attack, which may even involve nuclear or biological weapons of mass destruction.
2- This attack will be given as the reason for a few actions.
a- A nationwide crackdown on any remaining civil liberties. Restrictions of travel will be necessary. Surveillance that has been conducted over the year will not be publicly admitted and used against all sorts of Americans.
b- A round-up of targeted groups, which may begin with “Muslims” but will eventually expand to Christians, patriots, home schoolers, preppers, Jews, and other “dangerous” potential terrorists.
c- An open war against al Qaeda which will begin in the Middle East and will include most, if not all Muslim countries. This overt war will replace the covert wars the USA has been waging against these countries for the last 11 or 12 years. This war will also distract the home folks from the noose that has been tightened around their necks. That noose is already in place; however, most Americans are not aware of it.
This will all lead to World War III and the eventual New World one-world government Order, as well as the one-world religion. Along the way, there will be several events which will occur that will shake many Christians’ faith–especially those who have placed their trust in the timetables, writings and teachings of men.
“That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
–2 Thessalonians 2:2-4
There are those who suppose that we are in that time of the great “falling away.” And so we are: at the beginning. But the falling away involves those who are IN the church, not those who are currently playing church. The Bible warns that many of those who are IN the faith at present will have that faith shaken by events.
In fact, their faith will be so shaken that they will leave it for something that is VERY CLOSE to what they presently have or think they have. According to the Bible, their new faith will be unifying, ablaze with supernatural signs and wonders and make them feel like they are closer to God and God’s love. Many new people will be coming to this new faith in a mass event that will be hailed as a Great Awakening or “revival” but in reality will be part of that falling away.
As stated, this is speculation.
Unlike the many “prophets” who are plying their trade, this writer is no prophet and does has not receive any special revelation.
“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
–Mark 13:32
No man.
Anyone who claims to have a clear vision of events that are to come is either deceived or deceiving. Yes, we are to know the season.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
“Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
—Luke 13:2-5
A researcher from Glasgow Caledonian University says there is no feasible way to determine whether or not fingerprints and voice patterns are actually unique.
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
