Jack's Comments On The News

Below you will find my comments on the news and current events - that is just what they are, my comments. They are not "thus sayeth the Lord", they are simply how I feel on a particular subject.  I encourage you to write, for your feedback is always welcome.  trumpetblast@centurylink.net

We  Are Back (01-21-15)

We are back with new zeal and perhaps new direction.

 

Guantanamo Bay.(05-23-13)

President Obama may very well get his wish and closed Guantanamo Bay. I hope not, but a lot of horrible things are happening to our country so that very well may happen.  If he does – not to worry -   I know where we could send the prisoners. We can send them to the White House. There they could be treated with dignity and respect.

 

The Persecuted Church: (05-02-13

The longer I live and the longer I witness the activities in our Churches in American the more disillusioned   I become. By the time you finished reading these   words many will be persecuted for their faith in Yeshua (Jesus) in at least 42 countries, everything from harassment to beatings, to imprisonment, to murder. I have three questions for you: How many sermons have you heard this year about the persecuted Church in other countries? How many hours did your Church spend praying for their brothers and sisters who are being persecuted? How many hours have you spent? We are great at putting on a show; our entertainment is next to none, and we know how to build bigger and better  buildings.  Yet while our building funds grow so does the persecution in at least 42 other countries. I think I will not only continue to pray for the persecuted Church but pray they we send missionaries to us, here in America that we might learn the true power of God.

 

Halloween: Here we go again (10-31-12)

Below is a short article by Kerby Anderson from "Point of View Radio Talk Show"  I read Mr. Anderson's view almost every day and I think you will find his insight most informative. At the end of his article I have a few comments of my own.

"Halloween" by Kerby Anderson

The date today is October 31st. Most people know it as “Halloween” but it also has long been known as The Festival of the Dead. The Celtic tribes and their priests, the Druids, celebrated this day as a marker for the change from life to death. November 1 was the beginning of the New Year, so Halloween or “Samhain,” was like New Year's Eve. It was both a time of death and new beginnings.

The young would wander the countryside disguised in scary masks, carrying turnips carved into scary jack-o'-lanterns to frighten off ghosts and goblins. They believed that the veil between the living and the dead was believed to be the thinnest at this time, and therefore one could most readily communicate with loved ones in spirit.

Witches also celebrate Halloween as the “Feast of Samhain” which is the first feast of the witchcraft year. Being a festival of the dead, Halloween is a time when witches attempt to communicate with the dead through various forms of divination. Contrast this with God’s command against divination in Deuteronomy 18.

The term Halloween is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before “All Hallows’ Day” also known as “All Saints’ Day.” Pope Gregory moved the day from May 13 to November 1. This made Halloween the eve of this celebration. November 1 became “All Hallow Mass,” and October 31, became “All Hallow’s Even.”

Today, Halloween has become one of the more celebrated holidays. We are told that people spend more on decorations at Halloween that any other holiday except Christmas. And often the Halloween celebrations have included more and more occultic activity. Christians have two options: to ignore Halloween or to provide an alternative (like a Fall Fun Festival).

I hope you have thought about what you will do today and tonight. Don’t just go with the flow. Make an informed decision  about what you will do on Halloween. I’m Kerby Anderson, and that’s my point of view.

My comments: Our society is growing more depraved,  evil, and perverse. The occult is one of many abominations that is making its presence felt into almost every fiber of our society and far too many of us welcomed it with open arms. Halloween is embraced by the masses more than ever. I tremble where this country is headed. If Obama is elected it will certainly hasten our demise, but we are making decisions now and it is those decisions that have even greater consequences than the election of  Obama, Halloween, abortion, and same sex marriage. We have embraced satan himself and have fornicated with his demons. May God have mercy on the United States of America.

I'm Jack Hunter and my  brief comments are my own, and I do not capitalize "satan"

   

Reflections or Nightmares (06-21-12)

Tonight I am sitting in my study and my heart is heavy. What should I write about? It seems the bad stories, the really wanton, scandalous, impetuous ones appear almost ubiquitous, and they all seem to be singing in one strident tone: "We're doing it our way!" But tonight I am spending a lot of time reflecting on news stories over the past year, and discerning if these reflections are really reflections or nightmares! Whatever these stories are, they are just symptoms  of a sick and dying country and a sick and dying world.

America has long crossed over the Rubicon and the question is not if judgment will occur but when! From Barack Obama  and his draconian henchman with their main goal to destroy America to the homosexual agenda with one of their goals to destroy traditional  marriages, and all that is in between, America's condition is terminal, and the only hope for any of us is individual repentance. Yet we have become deaf to the few preachers who are still preaching repentance and we are caught up in a tidal wave of filth and do not hear that judgment is coming. But human nature has not changed. Jeremiah warned the people in his day that judgment was coming but few heeded his warning. "Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the judgment of the Lord." Jeremiah 8:7

Yes, we are too busy doing it our way, and our way will lead to destruction. I walked away from preaching His word many years ago,  but He allowed me to repent. I know first-hand the anguish and depravity of "doing it my way". We as a nation will suffer unspeakable judgment! Our days are numbered.  We have been found in the balances of the scales and found wanting! The stench of the grossest cesspool of all history has reached the nostrils of a Holy God and has sickened Him. The sin of violence, which includes the slaughter of the unborn, the unbridled draconian administration of the most nefarious president in history, and perversion that has sickened the hearts of the perverted has caused us to cross over the Rubicon.

This sin of violence is prevalent in the White House with covert activities  such as "Fast and Furious", which is unconscionable   - this administration is beyond evil and its leader, Barack Obama defies description. This sin of violence is further exemplified by the Partial Birth infanticide -  the ripping the brains out of thousands of unborn babies. The carnage of these unborn children cover our land. No one is applauding any louder than President Obama - He is such an advocate of the slaughter of the unborn he makes Bill Clinton look like a pro-lifer! America's androgynous, lust-crazed society has been flaunting its perverted life style in the face of a Holy God far too long, and God will soon say - Enough!

How long do we have? I do not know, but I am certain that God will not and cannot hold back His wrath for much longer. I urge you, whoever is reading this on the web site  to repent and put your entire trust in Yeshua (Jesus) and obey Him, for in obedience you find true freedom. We must learn to abide so we can escape the approaching storm, the approaching storm of God's divine judgment! By the way, those reflections - they are nightmares!

 

The November Election?? - What Will He Do ?? ( 06 -19 -12)

If Mr. Obama is behind in the polls days or weeks before the November election, I have asked myself along with others asking themselves, what he will do. What will our president do to countervail if he thinks he will lose the November election? Whatever he does it may or may not appear he did anything, but the result of what he does do may very well  postpone or cancel the election. I believe it's not will he do anything, it's what he will do! While some of his followers still see him engulfed in some type of nimbus, I see him as what he is-a dictator. At best Mr. Obama's politics are legerdemain, but more accurately they are corrupt, rancorous, and maniacal!

He could use any crisis either real or perceived and issue an executive order to halt the election due to a national crisis. He could either stage or allow a terrorist attack with such magnitude that it could paralyze an already crippled economy, which could be severe enough for him to declare martial law.

Obama is a gambler, but he has to use the cards in his hand and he has some pretty good cards, but if those cards are not good enough he is not beyond  stacking the deck! Barack Hussein Obama will stop at nothing to remain president for deep inside is a heart of a beastly dictator! He must fulfill his demented agenda, but more importantly he must feed his already surfeited ego! Mark my words: Barack Hussein Obama will stop at nothing to win!

They Should Have the Same Privilege: (07-07-12)

Over the years I have come to the opinion that one who commits a murder, especially one of a violent  and wanton nature, should not only be given the death penalty, but should  have the privilege of dying by the same method in which they murdered their victim. I have grown weary, no, I have grown sick and beyond outrage, about murderers getting sent to eternity by a prick in the vein after they have committed a horrendous and violent murder! Violent murder should be tantamount to violent punishment.

Several years ago there was a little 16-year old girl with special needs, who lived in the Dallas, Texas area and worked at a supermarket. Her job was very important to her and she took it very seriously. One afternoon it was very hot as temperatures can easily reach over one hundred degrees in Texas.  The girl was tired as the heat was unbearable. She walked along with her bicycle, pushing it due to the heat, when a couple of her former classmates drove by and offered her a ride. Perhaps she hesitated, perhaps she was so happy to get a ride in such heat she didn’t think, maybe she thought she would be late, but she got in and they put her bicycle in the back of their pickup truck and drove away. But they did not drive to the supermarket; they drove to a secluded area in the country.

I won’t go into a lot of detail, but for the next 12-15 hours they tied her up, gagged her, and took target practice on her with their BB guns. Tied and gagged in the sweltering heat she was shot hundreds  and hundreds of times with their BB guns. Finally after this torture, that I do not have the vocabulary to describe, one of the teen boys took a 22 caliber pistol and shot her in the head, putting her out of the hell she was going through. The two “individuals” spent a year or so being provided for by the state of Texas then both had their veins pricked via lethal injection and slipped peacefully into eternity.

Why should these two "individuals" not have had the right  to experience the full impact of what they did to that little innocent girl?  Should they not have had the so called privilege of dying in the same ghastly manor?  Why were they denied to experience the full sensation of being gagged, tied up, and shot hundreds and hundreds of times with a BB gun, then finally being shot in the head  with  a 22 caliber pistol? They died painlessly and in the presence of family. The little girl died in excruciating pain and the only company she had were the two boys who were murdering her.

I am not advocating going beyond the method of the murder, for that would constitute cruel and unusual punishment, never go beyond – just the same way.

A few weeks ago in the Dallas area a 72-year old lady working part-time at a convenience store was robbed and then set on fire. The “individual” sprayed a flammable substance and lit it. She was still smoldering when the authorities found her.   She died two days later from the burns she received. The accused “individual” is being charged with capital murder. But he will never feel the pain this dear little lady felt. Of course he will feel the flames of hell unless he repents, but he will be sent to eternity by a prick in the vein.  I ask: Why should he not have the same privilege of dying in the same excruciating pain the little 72-year old lady did!

I simply feel that the punishment should fit the crime, I mean really fit it.  I am not in any way advocating punishment beyond the type of murder committed, just tantamount to, for going beyond would constitute cruel and unusual punishment, but a vein prick hardly fits the crime. I believe if the murderer died  in the same manner as their victim died murders would be cut by 70%.  Before you  label me as a cruel, sadistic, and vengeful person, I ask just one question: If a few executions were carried out where the murderers gets to die in the very same method their victims die and that in turn prevents thousands of murders, is it not worth it?  I submit to you it is! This is simply a method of saving lives.

I am not writing about forgiveness, this article is not about personal forgiveness, we all should forgive! Forgiveness is a totally another area. I am writing about justice!

As usual the comments are my own; I welcome your feedback!    

The Three Heads of Obama  (07-07-12)

In Greek Mythology Cerberus is a three-headed dog. He was a three-headed monster dog known as the guardian to the gates of Hades (the Underworld). The monster dog Cerberus not only had three ferocious heads, but a tail of a snake. Cerberus is one of many anthropomorphism mythical creatures, but few monsters in Greek Mythology had three heads. In Cerberus’s case, all three of his dog heads were identical.

Now let me take my little example of Cerberus and apply it to President Obama. But far be it for me to refer to President Obama as a monster. Yet I will refer to him as a “powerster”. “Powerster “is a word I coined combining the word power and the word monster. President Obama is indeed a “powerster” and he has at least three heads!      

While in the case of our watch dog monster Cerberus, who guarded the the gates of Hades, Obama’s heads are distinctly different. Someday I will write a long article on the faces or heads of Barack Hussein Obama, but this a simple synopsis of our own three headed “powerster”

His first head is socialist’s head. There is little argument that Obama is leading this nation to become a full fledge socialist nation. Obama himself has said it in so many words. I depict his socialist head on the far left. It is growling, snarling and thinking how to turn this country into a socialist nation. Most people are acutely a ware of his sociologist ideologies - that is not even up for debate! The question is: Will he accomplish that goal? He is well on his way!

On the far right we have another monster dog head and it is in the shape of Islam. Obama, is in my opinion a follower of Islam. President Obama chose to retain his Muslim name "Hussian". Why? Because Islam is an integral part of his heritage. According to Obama's own autobiography, his father practiced Islam, his stepfather practiced Islam, and his mother twice married Islamic men. What attraction did Obama's mother have for Muslim men? Obama spent his most formative years being taught Islam.  This is a deadly and dangerous head, a dangerous and deadly head indeed!

But there is yet another head and that head wants to rule. It wants to control the other two. The head is Obama himself. This head is called narcissism. Someone who is a narcissist is overly consumed with himself.  Narcissistic personality disorder or (NPD) is a personality disorder in which the individual is preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity.  I ask: Does the definition  not precisely describe our president?  It does!  

It’s this middle head that controls Obama more than socialism and even more that Islam. It is Obama’s own ego and self-centeredness that drives him! While all these heads are controlled by different demonic forces this middle head is really under demonic control. The only good news is that a house divided against itself cannot stand, but will the heads divide or will they mutate into one head, and merge into one cyclopean “powerster” that would seek nothing but absolute control.  

Obama is indeed a three headed “powerster” and he must be reckoned with and we must reckon with him in November at the ballot box. I am not a fan of Mitt Romney, but he pales in comparison and will do less harm to this country, the Nation of Israel, and our well being than the three headed “Powerster” in the White House. By the way in time these three heads will mutate into one head; it will be the head of a dictator.

“Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm, but the harm does not interest them.  Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves”. T.S. Elliot

 

Israel Under Fire:  An Approaching Tsunami  (March 11, 2012)

One year ago the news from Japan was devastating. For awhile Japan fell silent to pay honor to the 19,000 people killed in the catastrophic earth quake and tsunami that rocked Japan on this date March 11, 2011. This event then triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in a generation. We still do not know the damage the ocean suffered as the result of both the tsunami and the nuclear waste - only time will tell the entire horror story. We as believers must never cease in our prayers for the victims and all those effected by Japan's tsunami!

Yet today a much smaller story occurred in Israel, it was just another day another bomb, but in this writer's opinion it is just a warning of a tsunami yet to come. Read the news story below.

Israel Under Fire: Missile Barrage Hits South March 11, 2012 16:38 by Simon Plosker - Honest Reporting

"Once again, 1 million Israelis have spent the last 48 hours running to the nearest bomb shelters or their reinforced rooms. Most of the headlines and articles have focused on Israeli air strikes on terrorist targets in Gaza that have resulted in the deaths of over a dozen Palestinians. But what about the impact of some 130 rockets (so far) aimed at Israeli towns and cities? The Times of London describes rockets being fired at “Israeli border towns” while the Financial Times headlines its story “Escalation in Gaza border violence”. Ashkelon (population 113,000), Ashdod (population 206,000) and Beersheba (population 194,000) are anything but “border towns”. Likewise, the weaponry deployed by Gazan terrorists is a far cry from “homemade” rockets." End of story.

One day Israel and her capital city Jerusalem will be surrounded by armies that are hell-bent on her destruction. I believe the tide will turn more against Israel. Perhaps she will attack Iran and our gas prices will really sky rocket. Perhaps something else will occur to increase the hatred that is already rampant. But mark my words the tide will turn completely against Israel and I will not be caught up in that flood from hell! I pray you won't either! Will you join with me today and  pray for Japan as she is still a long way from recovery from the March 11th tsunami, but will you also join with me in praying for the Nation of Israel and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

 

Jack Hunter is indeed a Christian Zionist (02-24-12)

Christian Zionism is basically a movement, largely among Gentile Christians, supporting the right of the Jewish people to return to the Promised Land and live there in peace. So before we dive a very shallow dive into the  waters of Zionism, let me say unequivocally  that I make no apologies for my stance in support of the Nation of Israel, her Holy city of Zion known as Jerusalem, and the Jewish people.  In fact I am more committed than I ever have since the birth of this ministry years ago. Now having said that let me say that Israel as a whole is, like the United State, living in sin, and I do not condone Israel's behavior anymore than I do the sins we are committing in The United States, I do not condone them, but abhor!

The word Zion is simply another word for Jerusalem and a Zionist in its simplest definition is a person who is pro-Jerusalem and does not believe God has canceled, assuaged, rescinded, His promises to Israel. Throughout the Holy Scriptures God Himself declares He is a Zionist! Why Israel and why Jerusalem?   Israel is only one hundred and fifty miles long, and  fifty miles wide, it is about the same size as New Jersey.  Why Israel and why Jerusalem.?  

 

Map of New Jersey (United States)

When you look at a world map you almost need a magnifying glass to see the tiny nation of Israel and you will have to look even closer to see Zion, God's chosen city and you will basically need  a microscope to see that 35 acre plot within Jerusalem called the Temple Mount, and it's there  that God will establish His kingdom forever.  God chose what He chose  and it will be best for all of us to let God be God - because He is just that - God! He  chose  Israel, and He chose Zion, the Holy City or Jerusalem. He chose the Temple Mount and the Jewish people. God is God!!!

On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east;  and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west  by a very large valley,  so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.  Zechariah 14:4.

Yeshua, the Messiah,  will rule from Jerusalem and His rule will extend from Jerusalem throughout the entire world!

But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain." I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are My Son; today I have I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth as Your possession. 9 You shall break them with an iron of iron,  you shall shatter them as earthenware. Psalms 2:6-9

BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen Revelation 1:7

I am refocusing on all that is in our mission statement and that means I will be blowing my trumpet, i.e., my shofar informing people of  the significance of Israel, her Holy city of Zion, which is Jerusalem. I will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem as well as God's chosen people, the Jews, and encourage others to do likewise!

God has chosen Jerusalem and  the entire world will soon be keenly aware of that, but more importantly the entire world will soon  be aware that Yeshua is the Messiah and we all will bow before Him as King of Kings and Lords of Lords.

 

Egypt is far From Free (02-19-12)

CAIRO, EGYPT (Worthy News)– Chanting "Allahu Akbar" a Muslim mob attacked the Coptic community of Kebly-Rahmaniya last week, burning down Christian houses, shops and businesses. According to the Assyrian International News Agency, Egyptian security forces didn't intervene in time to defend the Christians. In a related incident, last week Salafists from the Muslim Brotherhood broke into the Abu Makka Church in Bahteem, Qaliubia, informing the congregation that their place of worship was illegal. One Salafi reportedly said the 1,300 square meter building "is perfect for building a mosque and a hospital."

The above news story is one of many that depicts  how blatant persecution is taking place in Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood. Persecution is certainly not limited to Egypt but in 48 different countries. Take note of this -   Radical Islam is the violent and repugnant religion  behind most of the persecutions of Christians in the world,  but there are others persecuting Christians and they dwell right here in America. Who might these persecutors be? 

The "Brotherhood" is making its presence felt even in our own country, but so far in more non-violent ways, such as political manipulations. However, in Egypt they are alive and deadly!  

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says that reaching out to the Muslim Brotherhood to help resolve the Egyptian crisis is “fundamentally wrong,” as the radical Islamic group is “a mortal enemy of our civilization.”

 Rick Santorum has been speaking out against radical Islam for years as well as how our national security is being undermined. Santorum said:  "The Muslim Brotherhood is a very dangerous organization and the United States should stay clear of them in Egypt." He said in an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., "The Muslim Brotherhood wrote the book on radical Islam and wants to impose Sharia law throughout the Middle East. The only difference between the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaida is that al-Qaida is more upfront about the violence they’ll use to conquer and accomplish their purpose, but the Muslim Brotherhood is a very dangerous organization, and no one we should be dealing with.”

In my opinion Santorum is the best we have for a candidate for president then followed by Gingrich. Mr. Gringrich has one of the most brilliant minds in Washington, and Santorum is no dummy, plus he  has strong Christian values. I am thankful we at least have two good choices in this presidential race.

In this writer's opinion Egypt with all the problems they had with former President Mubarak, was better off than they are now! Mubarak, as draconian as he and his military were, they were not as treacherous as the "Brotherhood"  is now! As corrupt as he and his regime were,  and while they did little to protect the Christians living there  from radical Muslims, they were not murdering them either. Mubarak certainly was no one to behold,  but he was at least U.S. friendly and in comparison  he was indeed the lesser of the two evils!  The "Brotherhood" looms like an  evil demonic nightmare in the minds of Israel, Jews, and Christians, alike!  The "Brotherhood" is good at two things, truculent and barbaric murders, and strong and aggressive political persuasion. But be assured that if the latter does not persuade then they will not hesitate to use the former! In short, the "Brotherhood", if not stopped will spread their maniacal violence to all points of the earth.

Perhaps it is best if we do not know just  how  severe persecution is against Christians.  Or is it?  The real Christians had better begin to prepare for their own persecution here, in the United States.  It is a lot closer than  many realize! O yeah, to answer my question at the top of article. "Who might the persecutors be? " They are not only radical Islam, but the American press, many politicians including Obama, key people in important places, and all the forces of evil, and yes,  many dwell here in America! The "real Christian " will first be viewed as a pariah and then the enemy!


 

CNN Fires Entire Jewish Staff Of Israel Bureau and Retains Only Arab Reporters

(02-18-12)

 "CNN's Israel Bureau is down sizing, reportedly to cope with a reduced budget due to falling advertising revenues.
That doesn't explain why they fired four Israeli Jewish journalists (out of a crew of 8), and retained only Arab journalists. The local chief editor of CNN is now an Arab.
Among the long time news personnel let go were Moshe Cohen, editor, fired after 10 years with CNN; Izi Landberg, Producer, about 25 years with CNN; Avi Kaner cameraman fired after 10 years with CNN; and Michal Zippori desk producer.
CNN's usual procedure in the past was to send both a Jewish and an Arab reporter out on stories. Now, they're only going to send an Arab journalist, with all that implies. It's no secret to anyone that Arab journalists have to tow the Fatah and Hamas line if they want to do reporting on stories in Gaza and the Arab occupied areas of Judea and Samaria without taking the risk of being murdered.
CNN's coverage of Israel and the Middle East conflict has been questionable for a very long time, and it's going to get even worse now that it will only be reported from one side's point of view. The fact that this also coincides with the brass at CNN's point of view and their willingness to take steps to ignore even basic journalistic ethics to promote shows how far a once respected news source has fallen. "

The above news story has made headlines all over the world from alternative news sources,  but most of the main news media have failed to give it very much coverage. I have been aware for years how anti-Israel and biased CNN (Crescent News Network) is. Now they are airing their dirty anti-Semitic  laundry exposed and flapping  over the air waves for all to see.  Most of the time their anti-Semitism  is broadcast out on a daily basis through  their news. With  their anti-Semitism,  misinformation, and their liberal socialist  agenda they are brain washing  their viewers to think like them - which spells disaster for our country. But wait! I thought "them Jews" owned the press. The truth is that the press is out to destroy anything to do with Israel. CNN is certainly a basic anti-Semitic network, but they have a throng of followers, including many in the New Testament church. Replacement Theology is promoted in  numerous churches and its sweeping many into a very dangerous river that is polluted  with error, false teaching, and sometimes hate!

Thanks to networks like CNN, false teachings like "Replacement Theology"  many in the populous are seeing Israel through anti-Semitic eyes, and that distorted vision could cause them to crash in a fatal accident!

 

Is Israel and Jerusalem still Important? ( 02-16-12)

Perhaps because of the emails from an individual whose views on Israel contrast 100% from my own, or perhaps because I simply feel the need to trumpet out my initial mission statement, I urge the United States to stand by the Nation of Israel and to continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I am concerned, I am very concerned about how more and more the tide is shifting to denounce Israel. Many church leaders are claiming that  the Jews rejected Jesus and therefore God is no longer working through the Nation of Israel, but the Church. This is Replacement Theology. Is it true that God is finished with Israel? I say absolutely not!It is accepted by the majority of believers in Yeshua that three key foundational blocks in the Christian faith are faith, hope, and love. I used to sing a little song when I was about eight or nine in front of a 19" Admiral television set a little song by Roy and Dale Rogers that went.

"Have faith, hope and charity,

That's the way to live successfully.

How do I know?

The Bible tells me so."

Yes, these three words are extremely important, mainly because that they are God - breathed.  In addition they declared their importance by the number of times they are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures.  In the King James Bible the word "faith" appears 257 times, the word "hope" appears 129 times, and the word "love" appears 310 times.  They are indeed powerful words! They are part of our foundation!

Yet, if you look up the word "Jerusalem" you will find it mentioned 811 times.  This is more than faith, hope, and love combined.  Then when you do a search on the subject of Israel you will an amazing number 2565 times.  What does all this mean - maybe nothing, but maybe it means a lot!  It certainly should give those who deny the importance of Jerusalem and Israel something to ponder. God sees them as very important!

By the way, I recently ran across a website that I hope you will check out.  It is hosted by Jim Gerrish, who is a post-triber and a staunch supporter of Israel and the Jewish people.  Brother Jim has some of the richest writings I have read in a long time.  His site is www.churchisraelforum.com

I urge us to all pray for the peace of Jerusalem

We Had Better Stand By Israel (02-11-12)

What is this current administration trying to do with the nation of Israel? They are trying destroy her!!!  This is a somber warning to the United States of America – If we continue to slap Israel in the face Yahweh will slap us in the face!! And His slap will be fatal!!

Now Israel has sinned and sinned greatly. She has surfeited herself with her own iniquities.  She has turned her back on the God who raised her up. Woe to Israel for her evil rebellions!  Yahweh will certainly deal with her, but pray He will not use the United States to be one of His instruments of His dealings! Pray we are not part of those nations that fight against Israel.

I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. V3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. V4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. Zech 14: 1-4

God will deal with Israel, but we must not forget that we are to bless Israel and not curse her.

And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:3

We as a country must stand with Israel, we as a country must pray for her, and never, never turn our back on her or fight against her. The Islamic nations would like to see nothing better than Israel drowning in the sea -  we must never forget that the enemies of Israel are the enemies of God!

My next Trumpet Blast will deal with both Israel and the last days. Every time I write about the last days a few eyebrows may have raised and few eyes may even have glazed over, but when I write a positive article about Israel and  the Jews being God’s chosen people, then that is when  the gauntlet is thrown down, and some are ready to do battle. I fully expect to receive  negative comments on my next article and I not only will accept them, but welcome them!

Remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

 

This Dismantling and Destruction of the United States of America (02-09-12)

I woke up with an anxiety that kept me churning until about 4:30 am when I finally escaped the bed that kept me prisoner  and went to my study to sit down and write in hopes that I could unscramble all the thoughts that had been racing through my mind for the past several hours. Actually these thoughts have been racing and crashing into one another for months.

 These thoughts or perhaps better stated these  apprehensions have  recklessly crashed into one another night after night. I felt I was in demolition derby!  They pertain to the future of our country  as well as the present, with all  the complexities, challenges, and crises that we find ourselves engulfed in, we are indeed caught on the horns of dilemma. I care about America because it's the land that gave me birth and much of her history has been God-directed as well as God-ordained.

Yet, the United States is being dismantled piece by piece and the head of the demolition crew is Barack Hussein Obama,   and if he has his way  there will be no America as we know it by the time his next term expires, if it ever expires.

While Obama is certainly a key individual and while he is in charge of the demolition crew, the president of the demolition is satan himself - he is the one barking out the orders, and all the  others including Obama are merely following commands.

Our biggest threat is not radical Islam, as dangerous and evil as that is, our biggest threat is from within,  from within our own government.  

Most reading this commentary are keenly aware of satan's evil and duplicitous schemes, but some may not be aware of Barack Hussein Obama and and just who he is and where his loyalty lies.   Obama is certainly a myrmidon but  I will let the reader decide who Obama is the loyal follower of. This writer  certainly has his opinion.  As we will read later the demolition crew has many crew members,  but let's briefly focus more on the crew boss, Barack Obama.

Barack  Obama, while he lies, he is not necessarily a liar. He has kept at least one campaign promise. He said he would bring about change to this country and that he has done and if he wins another term we will not recognize this nation. The "yes we can" chant by the Obama loyalists has and is coming to fruition.

We are witnessing a revolution and if things continue to move at the accelerated speed  they are moving this revolution will pale by comparison of the revolution of 1776 - only so far no shots have been fired. This revolution  is the complete antithesis of 1776. Sometimes revolutions are aimed at "serving the people", but too often like in our current one, they are aimed at "controlling the people"! Control is the objective Obama has in mind, and if not stopped control is what he will achieve! I believe Mr. Obama is either a socialist with strong Muslim leanings or a Muslim with strong socialist  leanings. Perhaps he is both!

Obama, is not alone in the dismantling of the United States of America - there are others and they are many in number. There are certain key  pillars of our society  that support our country; they are the very  fibers that help hold this country  together, and they are being dismantled, ripped asunder, piece by piece!  I will mention five of them.

 The Military

 The Economy

 The Education System

 The  Family

 The Christian Faith

Our Military

For years America has had a great heart but Churchill was correct when he said “Great Heart must have his sword and armor to guard the pilgrims on their way.”

Today it seems America’s heart may be in cardiac arrest, and our military may be on life support.

Certainly peace comes through strength, but Obama is determined to reverse our role as a military leader.   Obama continues to dismantle our military.

Bill Gertz of the Washington reports the following. He states that Barack Obama has indicated he is prepared to convey information about secret American missile defense technology to Russia.

Obama and his regime are showing their true identity  by the public downgrading of our “special relationship” with Great Britain,  and even more importantly the distancing ourselves from Israel.  Let me be as candid as possible, if the United States were to ever attack or join in on an attack against Israel I will publicly denounce my citizenship!

Obama is just as concerned about political correctness as he is the cuts. He is determined  to increase homosexuals  in the military which serves  as its own way of dismantling, by destroying the overall moral. But it's all about being politically correct!  Our ermines like, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have increased their military  aggressiveness during the Presidency of Barack Obama.  None of the aforementioned countries are concerned about Political Correctness; none are openly inserting homosexuals into their military ranks.

 Just days ago Obama announced plans to cut deeper into an already gutted military. The military cuts which are planned by President Barack Obama are alarming and dangerous. The active-duty U.S. Army would drop from its 2010 number of 570,000 soldiers to 490,000 by 2017. And the number of Marines would fall by 20,000 -- from 202,000 down to 182,000. While Obama and his regime  are downplaying the impact of those cuts on our armed forces and their  ability to defend America, Gen. Raymond Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, is much less optimistic.

The Army would shrink from 45 combat brigades to only 32, though each remaining brigade would grow slightly by the addition of an extra battalion -- the size of which is generally 600 to 800 soldiers. Odierno warned that the Army will lose its capacity to fight two wars simultaneously with the cuts that are planned.

The morale in the military is already low and I believe each day this man stays in office the morale drops even lower. The walls have been torn down in the name of a "kum by Ya" mentality.

Our Economy

The second pillar that is being dismantled is our  Economic System.

 When the average person's wallet is attacked it brings out the vilest of his lower nature. Many believe we are already in the early stages of the biggest depression in our history? The Great Depression of the 1930s has been regarded as the worst ever. But many economists believe we're on the brink of a depression that will make our worst look lame by comparison.

I believe it's quite possible that  this economic crisis is by design.  Could it be that this  apparent out of control, reckless   spending from Obama and his administration and others, is a sure and well laid out plan to default our currency? It will certainly  widen the gap between the haves and have nots and in doing so it will  promote Obama’s socialist platform

His aim is designed to grow an already bloated government  even larger and to  increase its control over our lives.  Obama’s socialist plan “spread the wealth around” is only the beginning of his vision for America.  He wants to control America!  Controlling the economy is a sure way of bringing his plan to fruition.

Our Educational System

Our education has been infiltrated by extreme left wing ideologies long before Obama, but he is certainly  making his views  felt in the educational system. Over several decades several have had their turn at swinging the wrecking ball into the educational system    Our Western way of thinking has been greatly influenced by certain key individuals who have attempted to mold the students' mind from the elementary grades through graduate school.   The molded  model is in the image of the state, or something worse! 

We were "One  nation under God with liberty and justice for all” but we are fast approaching a nation with many gods and liberty and justice for all except the Christian.  This is especially true in our public education! When you control young minds you eventually control society.

One of the first wrecking balls slamming  into the educational system was in 1962. It was a landmark decision entitled Engel v. Vital. In this case our Supreme Court determined that students could not recite a simple, twenty-two word prayer which was voluntary. Below is that so-called intrusive prayer.

 “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee, and we beg Thy blessing upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country.” Wow - makes me want to jump up and down and say "Hallelujah". This was  a benign prayer; it could fit under most umbrellas, but not according 1962 Supreme Court.

 John Dewey's Progressive Education is one of the three philosophies that has slammed a wrecking ball into the American Education and has flowed  its poison into America’s culture ever since the 1930's.

Nineteen years ago the thinking in Education was indeed being wrecked, but shaped at the same time! Please read the following:

"I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers that correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being...The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and new — the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent with the promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of 'love thy neighbor' will finally be achieved."  John Dunphy”A Religion for a New Age” Humanist Magazine Jan./Feb. 1983

 The other two individuals who swung their wrecking balls were Sigmund Freud's with his  Psychoanalysis and Charles Darwin's Evolution propaganda. 

Today we have kept the aforementioned and added another wrecking ball, -  multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is one of the most pernicious philosophies  that has been introduced into the educational system and its wrecking ball is deadly.  The two ends holding the demented banner of multiculturalism are  homosexuality and Islam. Its strange, they are paradoxes, they do not walk together, but they are serving as one when it comes to destroying the educational system! The homosexual agenda is alive and well in the classroom. Roles are being switched and the transgender look is in. While at the same time anything Christian is being expelled, but false religions, especially Islam are being welcomed.  While Islam condemns  homosexuality, both have made their strong presence felt in the educational system. While they are paradoxes,  they are  unconsciously  united in the destruction of our educational system!

The public school is trying to rip the very brain from your child’s head, reshape it, and put it back in, but changed into a tolerant politically correct brain, that accepts any and all life styles, no matter how perverted they may be, and any and all religions no mater how evil and deadly they are!

 

The Family

When you destroy the traditional family you destroy the nation. Even before there was a Church there was a family and it was God ordained. God established the family for all time. That first union became the pattern  for all generations to follow.  Adam and Eve were indeed the first family. (Yeshua) Jesus said in Matthew "...Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” Matthew 19:5

According to Scripture, this  is precisely the way God designed it to be. One man and one women! The truth is quite the opposite of the liberal opinion—it doesn’t take a court order, it  takes one man, one woman, and the Spirit of God who unites them together.

It doesn't matter what a Federal Appeals Court in California rules, or the Supreme Court rules, it only matters what God rules and ultimately  His rulings will overturn ALL of man's rulings!

 

Divorce certainly has damaged the family and has made its wrecking ball felt for generations.     The Barna group  and other surveys  indicate that the gap between  proclaiming Christians and non-Christians is becoming narrower and narrower. God said "I hate divorce." Children often never fully recover from the devastation of divorce and I know first hand the damage divorce can do, to the children and society in general. I have experienced it and I know the sting it can leave. But divorce can be forgiven and while I accept the consequences of divorce I also accept His forgiveness!.

 

Another wrecking ball that was smashed into the family occurred  on a Monday, January 22, 1973 in a land marked Supreme  Court decision Roe v. Wade. By the way this was the only case District  Attorney Henry Wade ever lost.

Just after Roe v. Wade a companion case was heard by the same court entitled Doe v. Bolton. That ruling gave even more power to the executioner “doctor” to murder the baby for basically any reason.

Today we have the most barbaric of all procedures of abortion called Partial Birth Abortion. Instead of hanging his head in shame Obama actually has boasted of his murderous  track record.

Read in Obama's own words: "Throughout  my career I’ve been a consistent and strong supporter of reproductive justice and have consistently had a 100% pro-choice rating with Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America.”

Since that fatal  decision on January 22, 1973 we have murdered over fifty million children and this year we will murder another 1.3 million.

Abortion is no doubt murder and it is destroying the African American more than any race and the so-called black president is slashing the throats of the little black un-born babies. 

In 1 Kings, God warned the Children of Israel that when they entered Canaan they would encounter the Ammonites. The Ammonites were idol worshipers and one of the false god’s they worshiped was Molech. Moloch was a cruel and sadistic god who demanded child sacrifice. Instead of destroying Molech's altars, many embraced them, including their  own King Solomon.  Today there is no difference in what Obama, Clinton, Planned Parenthood, and others have done than Solomon. 

Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.” (1 Kings 11:7)

Our enemy, satan, knows when the family is destroyed the nation will fall.

Christianity

For the past decade Christianity in this country has been under attack. While we have a ways to go to compare with the 48 countries where severe persecution is rampant we are well on our way. It started  a decade or two ago with the jokes on television, but it has mutated to more than jokes, but government control!

When the church is dismantled, fragmented, divided, then it will also  help bring down the country. Now let me make this  emphatically clear.  The Real Church will not fall, it will not be dismantled, or fragmented. She will  only become stronger and the very gates of hell cannot and will not prevail against her!! But that does not mean she will not be severely persecuted!

A well noted quote is apropos by Alexis De Tocqueville  who died young but made quite an impact on political thinking. He  was a famous French statesman, historian, and social thinker. Beginning in 1831, he and Gustave de Beaumont toured the United States. They wanted to observe the American people first hand. They sought what made America great.   His two-part work, which was published in 1835 and 1840, was entitled Democracy in America. It has been described as "the most comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the relationship between character and society in America that has ever been written." Read the quote carefully, even if you are familiar with it and we can see why the church is under attack.

 "In the end, the state of the Union comes down to the character of the people. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there. In the fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there. In her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there.  Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits, aflame with righteousness, did I understand the secret of her genius and power.  America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

It is no accident that a two-fold attack is being waged against the church. It is being infiltrated by extreme liberal theology and the homosexual agenda.  It is tearing down the established church. But  Obama and his regime are  waging  their own assault!

 The federal government now mandates under "Obamacare" that religious institutions provide health insurance coverage for birth control. Catholic hospitals and non-profit organizations, like Catholic Charities, will also be forced to offer health insurance coverage for drugs and services that violate church teachings. This is NOT a Catholic issue alone, it should be a front and center issue for every believer. This is the first step of many steps that will lead to a stampede running rampant over our Christian beliefs.

There is another well know quote that is just as apropos as the De Tocqueville one. It's by Martin Niemoller, who was an ardent nationalist and prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolph Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. 

"First they came for the communists and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."

While Obama may try to back peddle on the birth control issue because of the November elections, it will be an all out war after the elections if he is elected.

Our constitutional right of Freedom of religion is certainly in jeopardy and  Christians are in grave danger, but the  weapons  the believers have is far superior to anything the enemy can assault us with in the complete armor of God.

"Finally, my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having gird your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,  and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;  praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" Ephesians 6: 10-18
And we must never forget that "We are more than conquerors through Him that love us." We are more than conquerors in All things! That includes anything any one or ant demon or satan himself can hurl at us. If we abide in Yeshua (Jesus) we can never be dismantled!

While the United States may indeed be dismantled our resolve must never waiver. We must never retreat from evil but overcome evil with good. It was Dietrich Bonhoeffer who said” The one who believes does not flee.” Maybe it’s time to overturn some tables and to learn the true meaning of being salt and light to a world that is headed for  dismantling destruction.
