The Footprint of Man:
“You hear of the Carbon footprint, well there is another one”

Words: 2245

Yes it was in the beginning that God, brought forth the earth, the heavens, and all that therein is. It was this sovereign, just, and true God, whom then was known yet unknown. For when man first came, out of the earth so God formed man, then woman afterwards. Thus the relationship began between God and man.

Genesis 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:18  ¶And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Yet in this, man today does not rely on the veracity of it. Especially the bible and as the ‘naysayers’ hold to ‘Darwinism which opposes creationism.’ In this, for those who believe, that in the Lord God all things were created according to John 1, this is what matters most. The bible for many today is Gods record of what happened and this is our copy of that record. Today, however, man does not in mass see this as truth, nor what it details as the sin of man nor his start.

John 1:1  ¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

But then this article is not about all that, nor is it a debate about creationism or Darwin’s theory called evolution, which I call pollution. At any rate, today if you are human, know this, out of the earth you came, and to the earth you shall return. We live daily in our lives, which pass by quickly, as the flower fades so goes our flesh and life. It is appointed by God, not just to live, by his providence, but also to die. After we die, before this God we will all stand. Before this Eternal God, whom Jesus said to call ‘Father’, so stand we before him. The flesh and all that it entails will be gone in a whirlwind that past by the earth as a vapor. For the most part no one noticing who you were nor caring. But for some, the famous one’s anyway, they are remembered by history, by their deeds and accomplishments, or by their fame.

Many of those in the world will never be mourned for nor pitied, nor helped. They live their lives meagerly trying to find morsel of food, a scrap of this or that just to survive one more hour or one day. For them just living is hell and being dead seems to be a method of deliverance. Yet for man, there is no deliverance beyond the grave, unless of course you received Gods ‘love of the truth’, if you do, then there is hope. Man fell, he and woman, along with their offspring can enjoy all the fruits of their labors here or experience misery and toil. The fact remains, God without man is still God and man without God is lost. There is no hope, no promise of that heavenly reward. This was the fruit of the loss of mans relationship with God in the beginning.

Psalms 39:5  Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
Psalms 39:6  Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Psalms 89:48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah

Man today tries through science and technology to find ways to live. The search for eternal life, for more of this living, for a longer world experience. We live in a time of unbridled lusts and vast scientific know how. No other generation has had as much knowledge, ability, and the technology to make heaven on earth as we do. Yet for all this, our society is breaking up, bloodshed is everywhere, war is rampant, starvation, famine, plagues, pestilence, disease, and more ravage the world. In all this, even with all we know today, man has days like the ‘flower of the fields’. A short time to be planted, a short time to grow, a short time to reproduce, and a time to bloom, then they die. For a short time the field is blooming, pretty, green, colored with vast flowers, yet they all die. Then a new season and a new crop comes in. So is man and his life.

Psalms 103:15  As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16  For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17  But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

We hear so much about the carbon footprint. There are those trying to save ‘mother earth’ and telling man he must reduce his carbon footprint. For the earth is dying because of us. It seems that many of these ‘greenies’ would be happy if we who make the carbon footprints just die so ‘mother earth’ will survive. Scripture, however, tells us that the ‘earth is devoured with the curse’, that man ‘destroys the earth’. In all the cycles of life and mans know how, he has never found out how to stop or nullify that one thing which is killing us. That is sin. This one thing we call sin must be dealt with. Men and women today ignore this word, sin. They go on living their meager lives in vanity not understanding this life alone is only the beginning. Beyond this life is true life, eternal life, and redemption. A re-uniting with our God and LORD forever in a ‘new heaven and earth’. Also beyond life is ‘true death’, an eternal separation from God who is Holy. Without Him, his ‘love of the truth’, man is lost and without God or hope in this world and the next.

Isaiah 24:6  Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

For now men leave their footprints on the earth. God see’s those prints, which consist of the things men and women do daily. Footprints that are the result of the way they have walked, lived, and then died. Men honor men when they die if they have left a footprint honorable in their sight. We have in the earth monuments, books, streets, cities, and much more to honor the past footprints of men and women. Yet in the end of it all, from eternity, these will all pass by. For this God in the very end will destroy and bring an end to this life, its vanity, and all that is in it. Why? Because it is all vanity, in sin and in rebellion against God! This is his earth and he will prepare a place for himself and all those who love him.

Ecclesiastes 7:15  All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

In this, as believers and being saved from the death that results from being separated from our God, we have life. This life is in Christ, it was he who offered up his life as an atonement for our sins. He bore our sins, therefore by our hope in him and his work, we shall enter into eternity in his course and offerings. This means, as we stand before the throne of God, we do so in the ‘mercy of God’ through ‘Christ’ who offered himself up for us. His blood shed, covers our sins, therefore, our sins are covered by this offering up of Christ, the Lamb of God.

Hebrews 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

As I write this, I remember my own Grandfather. He was a good man, a man of good character and was on the pages of the L.A. Times during World war II. He was many things, a father, husband, mariner, a City manager, a game warden, a fire chief, and my grandfather. I see the picture of him on my desktop. He was a man’s man, a golden gloves boxing champion. But in all this, one whom I knew from a distance, was in fact an atheist. I know his footprints, what he did, but I do not really know him. I knew my other grandfather, but even though I worked with him, ate at his table, and slept under his roof, his life ended without me really getting to know him. I knew him briefly but really did not come to know him, yet he also did not actively speak about God. I know his footprints, his ability as a farmer, husband, grandfather, but little else. He died and today, he with my other grandfather are only memories, on a desktop, from a picture, and in those brief moments I spent with each of them before they died.

2 Peter 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11  ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

I remember my mother who died during Christmas. I also know of the heartbreak, the sickness, the terrible times she went through. I know the last time she recognized me, I also know of the former times when we would talk on the phone to each other discussing so much. I also remember the time that she wanted to go be with the LORD, she had enough. This was indeed one of the last times she recognized me and was coherent. She said that the LORD Jesus told her it was not her time yet. All of it vanished in a moment. Now my dad who is in his mid eighties faces life as a bachelor. I visit with him, know him, and what he is like, but he also will come to a time when life will end. What then?

It is to this end, we who have hope, must work and make our footprints count. They must be for the LORD and for those things he loves. There will be a time when in heaven, living in that eternal portal with the LORD that we shall know even as we are also known. We will know our past loved ones who are with the LORD. Christ died for us, but if we just had Christ to get us through this life alone, then all is lost. For Christ came to save the ungodly and the sinner. He came to deliver us into the Fathers eternal kingdom forever. Our Hope is in Christ, which is with him and the Father in Eternity. With us there will be all those who are saved, including our loved ones. Therefore, let us sorrow not, as others who have no hope. Let us know that this Footprint is in the world through Christ and through Christ we will be in eternity.

1 Thessalonians 4:13  ¶But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

WELCOME TO JERUSALEM MEIN POPE

WELCOME TO JERUSALEM MEIN POPE
 by Barry Chamish

Twelve years ago, I wrote the following famous edict:

Barry Chamish:  Vatican plot against ISRAEL 1997

In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret of the Middle East “peace” process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French intellectual Marek Halter, claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he delivered a letter from Peres to the pope. Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem, granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican hegemony of the holy sites within. The UN would give the PLO a capital within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free trade zone of world diplomacy.

Halter’s claim was backed by the Italian newspaper La Stampa which added that Arafat was apprised of the agreement and it was included in the secret clauses of the Declaration Of Principles signed in Washington in September 1993.

In March 1995, the Israeli radio station Arutz Sheva was leaked a cable from the Israeli Embassy in Rome to Peres’s Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem confirming the handover of Jerusalem to the Vatican. This cable was printed on the front page of the radical leftwing Israeli newspaper, Haaretz two days later. A scandal erupted and numerous rabbis who had invited Peres for Passover services cancelled their invitations in protest of his treachery. Peres reacted by claiming that the cable was real but that someone had whited out the word, “not;” the cable really said that Israel would “not” hand Jerusalem over to the holy pontiff.

Illustrating the sorry political state of Israel’s rabbis, they accepted this cockamamie excuse and re-invited Peres to their tables. However, in the widely distributed minutes of a meeting with Clinton in 1997, Peres reiterated his diplomacy, ending with the words, “as I had previously promised the Holy See.”

So what did the Swami Barry report? That Foreign Minister Shimon Peres had cooked up a deal offering the Vatican sovereignty over East Jerusalem and its holy sites. That the UN would secure and police the Vatican enclave. And that the PLO would be granted a national capital in the Vatican’s East Jerusalem territory.
So let’s see if my reporting panned out. Oh, you know it did to the smallest detail, but let’s read this week’s news from Jerusalem anyway:

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710858577&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

‘Peres wants to yield sites to Vatican’

President Shimon hand over Israeli Peres is willing to sovereignty of key Christian holy sites to the Vatican, a proposition that is reportedly opposed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai and that has ruffled feathers among other senior government officials, Army Radio reported on Monday.

Beit Hanassi could not be reached for comment on Monday, as it does not issue statements to the press while the president is abroad.

According to the radio report, the president is exerting pressure on the government to give up sovereignty over six sites, including the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, the Coenaculum on Mount Zion, Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, and the Church of the Multiplication on the Kinneret.

The report quoted Beit Hanassi as saying that talks had been going on long enough, and that the time had come to compromise with the Vatican and come to an agreement.

On Sunday, according to the report, Beit Hanassi requested that the Interior Ministry sign documents ceding sovereignty. However, Yishai refused.

“Every concession like this limits the Israeli government’s ability to function as a sovereign government in the area,” the interior minister was quoted as saying.
Former Meretz chairman Yossi Beilin, however, was quoted as saying that Israel had not behaved satisfactorily in recent dealings with the Vatican.

“We need to compromise with them,” he said.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/131032

(IsraelNN.com) Ten-year-long negotiations between Israel and the Vatican appear to be drawing to a close, with concerns rising that Israel will cede control of the building housing King David’s Tomb in Jerusalem.

The Bilateral Permanent Working Commission – a team of negotiators representing Israel and the Vatican – released an upbeat press release at the end of last week, speaking of “meaningful progress,” “great cordiality,” and a mutual commitment to reaching a final agreement “as soon as possible.”

Tellingly, a plenary meeting has been announced for this Thursday, April 30, at the Foreign Ministry. The meeting will be chaired by the two states’ deputy foreign ministers, Danny Ayalon and Monsignor Pietro Parolin. It is widely believed that the agreement will be signed then.

Church Demands Parts of Mt. Zion

The two states have been negotiating a treaty since March 1999 on matters having to do with Church-owned or Church-claimed property in Israel. Among the most significant issued under negotiations is the Vatican’s demand for the Last Supper room, located on the second floor of the ancient Mt. Zion building that also houses the tombs of Kings David, Solomon, and Hezekiah.

In addition, the Vatican is claiming areas around the Kinneret Sea, as well as in Caesaria and Jerusalem.

Hints and implications in the Vatican and Catholic press have long indicated that the negotiations are expected to end successfully, from the Catholic vantage point, in time for Pope Benedict’s visit to Israel two weeks from now.

Blueprint of an Agreement

A Foreign Ministry official confirmed in 2005 that a “blueprint of a possible agreement with the Vatican has been received.” The proposed contract, as Arutz-7 reported at the time, read as follows:

“The State of Israel hands over to the Holy See the use of the Cenacle [the room of the event known as the Last Supper, above King David's tomb - ed.], of the access path to it, and of the spaces adjacent to it… It is the Holy See’s intention to inform the Bishops – and through them the world’s Priests – that the Catholic Church has been given the use of the Cenacle, inviting them to visit the Holy Place together with their faithful… The Holy See hands over this use of the Cenacle to the Custody of the Holy Land [which acts on behalf of the Holy See]… [which] will keep the Cenacle open from 6 AM to 8 AM for the celebration of the Holy Mass… Official liturgical celebrations of non-Catholic Churches can take place only upon prior written permission by the Custody of the Holy Land.”

The proposed agreement also stipulated that the Holy See will preserve the historic character of the site and keep it open to pilgrims and tourists, and that Israel will provide for the safety of the site. The Foreign Ministry official said at the time that “Israel is not prepared to relinquish its jurisdiction over this area.” The world will find out later this week whether this position is still valid.

After Peres meets with Obama in Washington on May 6:

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/131215

U.S. President Barack Obama told Jordan’s King Abdullah two weeks ago to meet with leading Muslim Arab countries and persuade them to accept changes in the Saudi 2002 Initiative, according to the London-based Arabic language Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper.

The report reflects the president’s swift action on the Middle East since he was elected last November.

President Obama’s major proposed alteration in the Saudi peace plan is for Arab countries to grant citizenship to approximately five million Arabs who are descendants of former Israelis while allowing them the right to move to a new Palestinian Authority country.

The Saudi plan calls for them to be allowed to immigrate to Israel, a suggestion that virtually every Israeli leader categorically rejects. President Obama also reportedly told the king that he wants the United Nations flag raised over holy sites in eastern Jerusalem, where the PA would have total sovereignty under the Saudi plan.

The president’s master plan calls for Arab countries to set a timetable for raising the Israeli flag in their capitals, a sign of recognition of the Jewish State. Simultaneously, the PA flag would be raised in Jerusalem neighborhoods, a move that would virtually make the Fatah-led government the de facto government in a significant portion of the Jewish capital.

Rothschild Agents Take 10 Key Posts
In Administration of Rookie President

By Michael Collins Piper

OUR GREATEST FOUNDING FATHER and first president, George Washington, probably wouldn’t be ready to celebrate his birthday on Feb. 22 if he were alive today. Having led the 13 colonies to independence from the British Empire in 1783, following the course of a difficult eight-year struggle by those freedom-loving American colonists who followed him, Washington (who lived from 1732 to 1799) would most assuredly be appalled to see that the liberties achieved from the American Revolution are now being flagrantly defied by a number of figures who populate the upper ranks of the administration of Barack Obama.

Six former Rhodes Scholars (educated at Oxford University in Britain) and four others associated with the London School of Economics are serving in key posts in the Obama administration. That’s not good.

Here are 10 of the key “British”—that is, Rothschild —operatives now ensconced in the Obama administration (more can be expected):

Susan Rice—ambassador to the UN; Michael McFaul—head of the Russian desk at the National Security Council; Elena Kagan—solicitor general of the United States; Anne-Marie Slaughter—State Department policy planning staff; Neal S.Wolin—deputy counsel to the president for economic policy; Ezekial Emanuel—senior counselor at the White House Office of Management and Budget on health care policy; Lawrence Summers—head of the National Economic Council; Peter Orszag—director of the Office of Management and Budget; Peter Rouse—senior advisor to the president; Mona Sutphen—deputy chief of the White House staff.

Devastation 101, Modern Google Technology

After seeing this map, it is no wonder Time magazine named Google one of the top companies who will not lay off in this economic downturn.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a nuclear bomb goes off in your city? With Google’s Maps framework and a bit of Javascript, you can see the outcome.
And it does not look good.

The list of weapons contains bombs of historical significance – but what happens with modern, nuclear-assertive countries not in the list?

* France: has a similar to “B61″, also deployed by jet fighter.
* India, Pakistan: equivalent to “Fat Man”. Probably larger.
* Iran, Syria: deny having a bomb. Yet. Smaller than “Little Boy”.
* Israel: denies having a bomb. Ever. As big as “Joe-4″.
* North Korea: equivalent to “Little Boy”. Probably smaller.
* South Africa: had “Little Boy”, but renounced nuclear weapons.

More US Oil – Is it a surprise?

Posted on by

Editors note: This was sent to us by Pat Holliday, we have included it here for your FYI. The source and ref is from her.

More US Oil – Is it a surprise?

The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April (’08) that only scientists and oilmen knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn’t been updated since ’95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana … check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska ‘s Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable… at $107 a barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.

1.’When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.’ says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.

‘This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,’ reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the ‘Bakken.’ And it stretches from Northern Montana , through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U.S.oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s massive reserves… and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.

2. And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one should – because it’s from TWO YEARS AGO, people!

U.S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:

8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18-times as much oil as Iraq
21-times as much oil as Kuwait
22-times as much oil as Iran
500-times as much oil as Yemen

and it’s all right here in the Western United States .

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this!? Because the democrats, environmentalists and left wing republicans have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil.

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than
2 TRILLION barrels. Untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price – even with this find? Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, – it has to.

Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you’re thinking about it .. and hopefully P.O’d, do this:

3. Forward this e-mail to all your friends and associates. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices, because by doing NOTHING, you’ve forfeited your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.

American Bacchanalia

Posted on by

American Rome

Bacchanalia: another word for Debauchery, A wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity. An orgiastic festival in ancient Greece in honor of Dionysus (= Bacchus)
When the Roman Empire would conquor a region, they would usually incorporate the better avenues of that society into Rome life. In the case of the Greeks, they would incorporate the food, literature, Gods, and language into the life of everyday Roman citizens. Today, even in America, we can trace certain things from the Roman culture. In this we find a myriad of Gods and traditions that have found their way to our land.

When Christmas was first celebrated in America, Puritans did not follow this custom. They knew the origins of it. Christmas was derived from the Pagan Organiastic festival of Rome, which was known as the “festival of Saturn” or Saturnalia. The time for heralding their God Saturn happened December 17-23.

This was time at the end of the Vintage and harvesting with feasting and unrestrained merrymaking. Observance included exchanging presents and offering sacrifices. Masters served their slaves as a token of the equality of rank and the lack of class distinctions during the golden age (which was supposedly ruled over by Saturn). It became later known as Saturnalia. The lower case saturnalia became known as synonymous with “orgy” among the Christians. This Event became so unrestrained in its manner, it was later outlawed by the Roman Senate. However, during their reigns, many Caesar’s of Rome held celebrations close to the same type of orgy that was the rule in the festivals of Saturn.
Dionysus, also commonly known by his Roman name Bacchus, appears to be a god who has two distinct origins. On the one hand, Dionysus was the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature, who is also the patron god of the Greek stage. On the other hand, Dionysus also represents the outstanding features of mystery religions, such as those practiced at Eleusis: ecstasy, personal delivery from the daily world through physical or spiritual intoxication, and initiation into secret rites. The woman associated with this festival and the rites of Dionysus were called Maenads, interpreted to mean “a frenzied woman who is part of a orgiastic ritual”. A more appropriate term is “nymphet”. These woman according to history says that these women would get in a high “frenzied” nature through dance, wine, and orgasiatic atmosphere they would run into the forest and tear apart any animal they saw and eat them raw.
Thus we can trace the roots both of the Winter Solatice and Christman to this Saturn festival. Whereas, we can trace the Spring solatice and celebrations like Carnivale to the Dionysus festival. Is it any wonder that not all people want to take part in such things with there dubious origins? Paul gives us a word on this manner.

2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 ¶And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

“Vexed with filthy conversation”
This scripture in its context is about the “unlawful deeds” of the wicked. The examples given are “Sodom and Gomorah” with “Noah”. Both the cities mentioned and the civilization in Noahs day were destroyed by the wickedness they participated in. To make sure we understand the words here, let us look at the words “Vexed”, “filthy” and “conversation” in the original greek.

2 Peter 2:7 ¶And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: The word “vexed” here means: oppressed, to be oppressed, or distressed. Strongs # 2669
2 Peter 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; The word Vexed here means: to be tortured, tormented, in pain, to torture, or torment. Strongs #928

Lot as seen in this context was oppressed by those deeds that went on around him daily. The deeds and actions of the public distressed him. In Lot’s soul, his innermost being we find that it was actually tortured, tormented, and in pain caused by those actions of the public around him. Things had gotten so bad, the inner pain was like torture. Verse 9 of this scripture in context says it all “the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of these temptations[strongs # 3986-test or trial] and to reserve the unjust for judgment and punishment”. This became a trial for Lot and just as it is a true today for many believers who face the same kind of “filthy conversation”

Filthy conversation
filthy-strongs # 766 – debauchery(A wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity), sensuality(Desire for sensual pleasures[carnal gratification]), lewdness(behaving in an obscene[inciting indecency or lust] manner), lasciviousness(Feeling morbid sexual desire or a propensity to lewdness), wantonness(lacking control, free from inhibition-being lewd and lascivious )

conversation-strongs # 391- way of life, behavior
Just as the parties in Roman life celebrating the God Saturn became known as “orgies” or “saturnalia”, so the parties to the god Dionysus became thus likeminded in actions. Many other pagan customs that were iniated in civilizations became the pattern of the day. Today, America has been thoroughly rowdy and accustomed to the same type of “orgies”. From the vivid lewd movies, pictures, books, magazines, advertisements, and behavior of teachers, students, along with the people of this generation, we have become in love with “saturnalia”.

Reports have come in from the “Repent America” people who demonstrate the love of God by showing placards at their parades which have the Word of God on them, urging the folks to repent of their “Unlawful deeds”. These are deeds contrary to Gods Word. Even though it is acceptable in the USA, it does not change the Word of God. Noah’s generation was “exceedingly wicked” and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah “were homosexual and proud of it”. All faced the judgment of God for their “unlawful deeds”. Both Noah, his family, and Lot and his family were delivered from the judgment before God delivered the punishment. This does not precluded Noah and Lot with their respective families from facing this “Vexing of their souls” with the wickedness around them. They faced it and were delivered, although the wickedness caused much pain to them. So too, does this wickedness cause the same for many true believers today. The only ones it does not bother are those who are “lukewarm” and will do nothing about it. I urge you to read the churches of Revelation chapters 1-3.
Today, Christians even celebrate the books of C.S. Lewis and call them christian. However, there is debate as to how christian he was. When you can find witchcraft and godlessness celebrated in his books. For example:

Book four is entitled Prince Caspian, and in it we find Aslan, the type of Christ, leading a wild woodland dance along with Bacchus, the god of drunkenness and orgies, and the Maenads, who are orgiastic women that also tear apart live animals and humans and eat the raw meat of their victims. This fourth book also contains spells on how to summon up tree spirits with so-called white magic. All such things are strictly forbidden in Deuteronomy 18:9-12. [The Last Trumpet Newsletter, Pastor David Meyer].

Remember the Maenads? They were mentioned above in connection with the god Dionysius. The celebration they are connected with is pure lust and godlessness. In regards to C.S. Lewis, you can read more on the link above and make up your own mind.
In conclusion, the “vexing” of the soul today is real for many true believers. They see the filth, murder, pornography, rape, bloodshed, hatred, violence, homosexuality, lesbianism, child porn, teacher molesting their students, and plain wickedness going on daily. It is all around them. It never stops. It never will stop until the Lords kingdom is brought in. The Lord will deliver all those who trust in Him and will appoint the wicked a day for their punishment.
The scripture says of a society that forgets God that it will “be turned into hell”. This is what is happening today. A literal hell of godlessness has been unleashed and will only get worse.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
The Apostle Paul tells us the the Last days Society:
2 Timothy 3:1 ¶This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
I urge you today to take heart in the fact that the Lord see’s you today. He can and will deliver you from what is facing you. Look to the Lord. If you are bound up in sin, look to the Risen Lord Jesus Christ. He saves, heals, and delivers all who call upon his name. Seek him today…The Watchman..

Will Israel Move against Iran?

Editors note: The pic below is known for its revealing of the Dome of the Rock, the Muslim temple. But the next Jewish Temple will be on this site. The war is coming when all the nations will gather near here and against Israel. Many have talked about whether Israel will go against Iran before Bush leaves office. Here is a view of that from jerusalem and that of Stan Goodenough. Called the Jerusalem Watchman.

Israel, when you go out to battle
Stan Goodenough
Is Israel finally poised to blow apart the aggressive, anti-West Iranian nuclear program? After months of speculation and counter speculation, and after years of appealing for effective international intervention, there are signs this morning suggesting the Jewish state may well be preparing to go to the wire on its own.

 

The Jerusalem Post
(December 4) said it “has learned” that the Israel Defense Forces “is drawing up options for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities that do not include coordination with the United States.”

 

Fox News picked up and aired the story across America.

While “Israeli officials have said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to launch a strike against Iran without receiving codes from the US Air Force, which controls Iraqi airspace,” said the Post.

Israel has not been given access to those codes yet. The US also refused to provide them during the 1991 First Gulf War, when Saddam Hussein threatened to burn half of the Jewish state with chemical weapons.

Although Hussein did not make good on his threat to use non-conventional warheads, he did send 39 SCUD missiles slamming into Israel. But the Jewish state bowed to American pressure to sit tight.

Maybe not this time.

“It is always better to coordinate,” a top Defense Ministry official told the Israeli paper. “But we are also preparing options that do not include coordination.”

The article include a link to a column written by the Post’s deputy managing-editor, Caroline Glick, on November 24.

“US President George W. Bush has six weeks left in power,” she wrote. While much of what Bush will leave behind him has already been determined, there were still a few things he could do “that will impact greatly both the world he leaves behind and how he is judged by history.”

The outgoing American should either order an attack on Iran’s nuclear installations himself or should permit Israel to fly over Iraq to carry out the attack.

By doing so he would “secure the lives of millions of people [and] secure his place in history.”

Meanwhile another report just being circulated is that Iran Wednesday deployed in the Persian Gulf “a 60-ship armada for [a] massive war readiness maneuver.”

DEBKAfile, (which is admittedly not the most reliable of sources) said the exercise included simulated attacks on what are meant to represent the three US aircraft carriers currently stationed in the gulf.
I don’t have access to any insider information about this situation. Here on the ground in Jerusalem there are no visible signs Israel could indeed be counting down to a strike. We would expect some kind of Home Front Command alert to ready us for the possible retaliation Iran has vowed will follow any Israeli attack.

Nonetheless, I feel to circulate the following Bible passages at this time. I am praying them for Israel right now.

Israel:
When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD your God is with you, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be, when you are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people, and shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, you approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be you terrified because of them; For the LORD your God is He that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. (Deuteronomy 20:1-4)

And you shall say:
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
God is my strength and power: and He makes my way perfect.
He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me on my high places.
He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yes, they are fallen under my feet.
For You have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have You subdued under me.
You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
(2 Samuel 22:32-41)

 

To Iranian leaders Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I say, paraphrasing the words proclaimed by a brave shepherd boy as he went out to engage the Philistine’s non-conventional weapon – Goliath – a little over 3000 years ago:

“You are preparing to come against Israel with nuclear-armed and other missiles, unleashing rockets via terrorists in Lebanon and Gaza, telling your Muslim followers that Israel’s demise is upon it. But Israel will come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. The LORD will deliver you into Israel’s hand; and Israel will smite you, and take power from you; and Israel will see to the end of your boasting and your bragging against the people God’s calls His own; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all Israel and the other nations in the Middle East will know that the LORD saves not with gun and tank: for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into Israel’s hands.”

And to Jerusalem I say:
Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah. (Psalm 24:7-10)
