End Times Prophecy Headlines: February 22, 2018

Here’s how little Americans have learned about Donald Trump – Kinda like any slickly-produced advertisement: Though seen hundreds of times, the viewer usually ends up knowing remarkably little about the actual product.

FROM 2016: Only in America could an ultimate insider like billionaire wheeler dealer Donald Trump be sold as the “ultimate outsider.”

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”

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.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

“Last week it was reported that the churches of America increased their membership by 690,000. Are you encouraged by these figures? I for my part am not encouraged a bit. I have indeed my own grounds for encouragement. . . . But these figures have no place among them. How many of these 690,000 names do you think are really written in the Lamb’s book of life? A small proportion, I fear. Church membership today often means nothing more, as has well been said, than a vague admiration for the moral character of Jesus; the Church in countless communities is little more than a Rotary Club. . . . It will be hard; it will seem impious to timid souls; many will be hurt. But in God’s name let us get rid of shams and have reality at last.”
—J. Gresham Machen, 1926 – (h/t:BP)

88 years later: has the situation improved or gotten worse?

Florida school shooting survivor says he is not a crisis actor – Hmmmm…..wonder why this would even come up?

Right-Wing Media Uses Parkland Shooting as Conspiracy Fodder – When inconvenient information crops up in the Corporate Media, the FIRST thing it does is brand that info either as “right wing” or “left wing“–this is to try and split the potential opposition in two.

The second thing is to brand the information a “conspiracy theory.”

This is BEFORE any media investigation has taken place. So, the media starts calling people names BEFORE it has any information on the subject.

And this is your objective, free-thinking “journalists” at work providing unbiased, clear-eyed information Americans can use.

There are reasons the Corporate Media is called Satan’s Mouthpiece.

The far-right smear campaign against students who survived the Parkland massacre

VIDEO: Outspoken Trump-Hating School Shooting Survivor is Son of FBI Agent; MSM Helps Prop Up Incompetent Bureau – So, those bringing up inconvenient information are trying to make this into a pro-Trump/anti-Trump thing?

This is a textbook example of controlled opposition. And yes, it also immediately splits readers into two factions. It also confirms many of the underlying premises which help buttress a system which daily creates a false reality for Americans to live in.

One could only believe in an impartial, objective media ONLY IF one believed that the press was an agenda-free organization.

GLORIFYING EVIL AND THE DEMONIC

John Dee Was The 16th Century’s Real-Life Gandalf – John Dee was actually an Elizabethan frontman for the mystery of iniquity. Not actually the originator of the evil, only the worker of such. Dee may have been a member of the synagogue of Satan itself.
—End Times Prophecy Headlines: February 21-22, 2015

Only one more piece in the relentless campaign waged by Big Media, Big Entertainment and the churches to glorify sorcerers and wizards and witches.

Beside John Dee (an occult magician who was a close adviser to Queen Elizabeth I and who signed his letters to Elizabeth “007“), there’s been the Harry Potter propaganda and the exaltation of Gandalf (Lord of the Rings). And many others, particularly in the dark, occult world of video games.

Twilight, Harry Potter, The Wizard of Oz and the Wiccan Revival

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12

John Dee gained his fame because of the power he wielded due to his contact with demons. Although this is usually left unsaid when such men are exalted for the masses, it’s easy enough to discern by reading between (and behind) the lines.

In the linked piece, this isn’t even necessary: Dee’s various conversations, interactions and employment of the demonic is plainly recorded.

The Controversial Theory That Explains the Structure of the Internet – More properly belongs in Media Narratives Alert section but that is something which can be said about practically ALL Corporate Media offerings.

They all cannot go there.

WINNING DEBATE POINTS OR SOULS?

“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
–Daniel 12:3

What is more important: winning souls or debate points?

QUESTIONS FOR ATHEISTS – There are times that church folk shoot themselves in their foot–though they have the best of intentions.

A website that proposes to settle questions about Christianity based on evidence, proof and logic presents the linked article.

The premise sounds reasonable: atheists are usually asking Christians questions (which is not a bad thing actually), so why not “turn the tables” and ask the atheists a few questions?

However, while this sounds good, there are several things wrong with this approach, which is not very biblical.

1- This appeals to the churchies’ ‘pride of life’ and moves the focus off of Jesus Christ.

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
—1 John 2:16

Do we want to win souls or do we want to win debate points? These discussions are not winnable using the world’s methods. True believers are to win souls–not debates.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”
–Proverbs 11:30

The gospel is the tool that God uses–not rhetoric or logic or evidence or proof. Specifically, the preaching of the gospel.

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
—1 Corinthians 1:21

Sure, true Christians are human: they chafe at the world’s labels of “uneducated,” “illiterate” and “idiots.” (The linked articles’ words, not this writer’s.) But is engaging the unbeliever on his own turf the answer?

Is appealing to the atheists’ reason the way Christians are supposed to approach unbelievers?

Will a debate over evidence and proof win one soul to Christ?

The Bible says it won’t.

“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
–Colossians 4:5-6

We’re to walk in wisdom and focus on the cross of Christ. When Christians lose focus of the true issue, they exchange their most powerful weapon for the tools of the enemy.

For some reason, the church folk seem to be doing a lot of this lately: fighting by the world’s rules of engagement.

2- The questions presented in this article are a good example of trying to fight the enemy on his terms. They sound good to the pew-sitters–but will likely prove ineffective at winning the souls of atheists (IF atheists really exist).

If the author had visited websites frequented by claimed atheists, he would already know that atheists engage most of the questions presented in this article.

Atheists already have answers to most of the questions presented. Sure, as Christians we believe that their answers are wrong, but atheists don’t.

So then we’re back to square one again.

And Christians should keep one important point in mind: it is God who offers salvation as a free gift, not us. We merely are the presenters, nothing more. Contrary to much of what’s being taught, being more “persuasive” has nothing to do with whether an unbeliever truly experiences a a new birth or not.

3- Some of the questions don’t even sound good to the Christian.

“How can the Second Law of Thermodynamics be reconciled with progressive, naturalistic evolutionary theory?”

Is this the way to win souls? Quick: all readers who can recite the Second Law of Thermodynamics, raise your hands.

“How do you explain the thousands of people who have experienced heaven or hell and have come back to tell us about it?”

Though “dying” or “being sent back from the dead” to testify of heaven or hell is a fairly common phenomena in our own times, it is not biblical.

“Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
—Luke 16:27-31

It’s very human to want to win an argument. However, nowhere in the Bible is winning arguments mentioned as a method of soul winning.

Yes, we’re to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered” (Jude 3)–but that is among believers, not unbelievers (who are not part of the “common salvation” to which Jude refers).

Yes, “Christian apologetics” is speaking in defense of Christianity. But much of Christian apologetics is practically concerned with the issues raised by false teachers and those who claim to be Christians. False teachers was the theme of Jude.

For those who believe we are living in the end times, we’re given the formula to be “overcomers.”

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
—Revelation 12:11

Preach the gospel and let the atheists win their debate points.

At the end of the day, Christians will be happy they did.

SEVEN SCRIPTURES TO ENCOURAGE

Someone sent these four or five years ago.

They then became part of those items one files away and forgets he has.

TODAY, they were “found.”

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
–John 14:27

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
–Isaiah 41:10

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
–Deuteronomy 31:6

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
–2Corinthians 4:16-18

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”
–Psalm 34:7

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
–Luke 10:19

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”
–Isaiah 60:1-3

It should go without saying that these verses of encouragement from God’s Word will lose much of their power and effectiveness among non-believers.

BUT, believers know God’s Word to be true: He has given many infallible proofs AFTER one has faith.

IF the proofs came BEFORE, it would not be faith.

MEDIA NARRATIVES ALERT

“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.
