Big Brother, border security, terrorism, citizenship
Border apprehensions with Mexico were down 53% in the fiscal year ended September 30 from the previous three year period. This announcement came jointly from the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense. The statistics apparently are emboldening the White House to reduce the number of National Guard troops assigned to patrol the US border with Mexico, and instead increase drone surveillance from the air. The administration also recently announced that it would have unmanned border checkpoints run by a camera and a computer. This White House has been reluctant to protect the US border, and is now using its reluctance to increase use of spy technology.
That border apprehensions were down does not mean success in protecting the border. The question needs to be asked if they are down because there are less illegals crossing or is the stark reduction a result of a dismal lack of protecting the border as a matter of policy. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates there are some 11.2 million illegals in the US. The number of illegals in federal, state and local prisons and jails in 2010 totaled 351,000, and most of them were from Mexico. The Government Accountability Office estimates that 50% of illegals in federal prison were sentenced for immigration and drug offenses, 40% were convicted as a result of terrorism-related investigations.
The cost of the federal government's refusal to protect the border is astronomical. Housing illegals in jails and prisons costs over $1.5 billion annually. The cost of illegals for crime, health care, welfare is estimated by the federal government as $113 billion a year. Amazing that the same government that sold weapons to Mexico's drug lords wants to reduce border patrol in favor of spy drones. The AGAPE Movement of Wichita Falls, Tx., earlier this year submitted a plan to the president and members of Congress that would employ 70,000 veterans to guard the entire border with Mexico at a cost savings of $111.6 billion per year. So far, not a single policy-maker has embraced this common sense plan.
This government is using every opportunity it can to establish methods to spy on Americans under the auspices of "protecting" the citizenry. As troops are pulled out of terrorist hot spots such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and terrorists gain control of countries with White House assistance and approval, the American people are going to be further pressured to give up liberties for so-called government protection. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." A government that refuses to secure the borders while at the same time uses the threats it creates to take away liberty is a deceptive and evil beast arising from the sea of people who refuse to exercise their responsibility of citizenship.

White House handling of drone should raise questions
According to Iranian engineers, the American bat-wing RQ-170 Sentinel drone was captured by Iran through hacking its GPS system and landing it safely intact. Just how significant this event is will be played out as Iran ups the ante in its nuclear, technological, and military advances and as it ramps up its political rhetoric against Israel and the US. But there is a question that should be asked by the mainstream media, and it should be asked in the context of the US involvement in radicalizing Arab states surrounding Israel. Why didn't the man who occupies the Oval Office insist this drone be destroyed before the Iranians could dissect it?
He told reporters, "We have asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond." DEBKAfile reports that the drone had a self destruct mechanism, but it was never used. The president, according to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, weighed options to recover or destroy the drone, but was "concerned such a mission could be considered an act of war." This is all pretty weak considering what is at stake with Israel, Iran and the Middle East. Unless, of course, this White House wanted Iran to have the drone and all of its high tech spy technology. That would explain the drone being essentially handed over to Iran.
DEBKAfile asks in its special report: "The enigmas surrounding its capture continue to pile up. How did Iran know the drone had entered its airspace? How was it caused to land? Most of all, why did the craft's self-destruct mechanism which is programmed to activate automatically fail to work? And if it malfunctioned, why was it not activated by remote control?" DEBKAfile reports that the decision to not recover or destroy the drone was not missed by Israeli security officials, who have a lot at stake. Israel's perception is that the decision was "symptomatic of a wider decision to call off the covert war America has been conducting for some months against Iran's drive for a nuclear bomb." The State Department denies this.
DEBKAfile reported that a senior Israeli security official summed it up: "...when it comes to Iran and its nuclear program, the Obama administration and Israel have different objectives. On this issue, each country needs to go its own way." Given the support for radicalizing the Middle East, the US partnership with the terrorist sponsoring Muslim Brotherhood, and this weak response to protecting a top secret spy plane, one has to wonder what side this president is on. It's a legitimate question no matter what your politics. Ephesians 5: 6,7 says, "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be ye not therefore partakers with them." Ask the questions, act accordingly.

When marriage is replaced with homosexuality as government policy

When marriage is replaced with homosexuality as government policy
We have told our children as they became young adults that there are two decisions that are more important than any other. One is for eternity, the other is for life. The first and foremost important decision is the one of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In John 3:16 Jesus says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." If you make any decision in life, the most life changing is this one because it lasts for eternity. The other most important decision is who you choose for your spouse. This decision will make you or break you here on earth.
Marriage is the social contract that is imperative to a healthy society. Family is society's core strength. When marriage, and subsequently family, are preserved, protected, nourished and encouraged, society will be healthy. The strength of America traditionally has been found in its families. But today, this revered institution is faltering. Pew Research has released poll data reflecting that only 51% of adults 18 years and older are married--a record low for America. The Washington Post reports that "In 1960, for example, when most baby boomers were children, 72 percent of all adults were married. The median age for brides was barely 20, and the grooms were just a couple of years older."
In 1963, Florida Congressman A. S. Herlong, Jr submitted for the Congressional Record the "Current Communist Goals" excerpted from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen. Goal 40 was: "Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce." Goals 25 and 26 were: "Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." Goal 27: "Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social"religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
The Pew study indicates that Americans are choosing to live together rather than marry; The US State Department is using foreign aid to promote homosexuality. The federal government is no longer defending "The Defense of Marriage Act" in the courts. Divorce is easier than ever. Homosexuality is being promoted in public schools and the military--it is essentially official government policy. The socialists and Marxists in America have nearly succeeded in destroying our society--as planned as early as 1963 by the Communist Party. Ephesians 5:25 instructs: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." This is a sovereign spiritual principle for a healthy and happy society. Our decisions matter, make them well.

All-American antichrist
"All American Muslim" is a TV reality show that follows five Islamic families in Islam's hometown in America--Dearborn, Michigan. It's an Islamic propaganda show designed to convince Americans that Islamists are just normal people like you and me. Sponsors for the show are dropping because Americans are exercising their right to free speech and saying that its a bad place to buy ads. Lowe's decided to pull its advertising support of the program and is receiving huge criticism of it--I guess the activist Islamists in this country do not like the fact that it is a Constitutional right to "build something together" with someone else through the exercise of freedom of speech. It is good that Lowe's and others are doing such.
The American people need to understand and grasp the threat of Islam, no matter how mainstream and peaceful this religion appears in its current stage here in the United States. The Koran specifically instructs all believers to convert, bring into submission or kill Jews and Christians. It is easy to say that Muslims are peaceful here in the US and that Islam is harmless. I once cuddled a baby tiger. It, too, was pretty harmless as a baby, but when I saw it a year later, it was no longer cute and harmless. It was a threat. Islam is a threat to everything in our way of life. Recent homegrown terrorists have been Islamic, even though their names are given as American sounding--their changed names are Islamic.
The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood General Strategic Goal for North America says that every American Muslim must understand their role in the ""Civilization-Jihadist Process""...their work in America is a kind of a grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house..." The idea that "Islam and its Movement become a part of the homeland it lives in" is a key element in "settling" the United Sates. Dearborn, Michigan is the prototype of the Muslim Brotherhood plan. It has all the elements, and now even a reality television show attempting to mainstream Islam in America. This is the same Muslim Brotherhood our president is supporting.
The mere fact that the Council on American Islamic Relations and a slew of other so-called Islamic civil rights groups are crying foul over Lowe's pulling their ads speaks volumes. You see, Lowe's should be able to advertise wherever it wishes. If it decides that it doesn't want to advertise on a certain show, it has that right. Yet the Islamists are saying Lowe's does not have that right. It's just the way Islam is--the very modern supporter of fascism, slavery, terrorism, discrimination--all the things that liberal supporters of Islam say they hate. One other thing: 2 John 7 says, "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." What does that tell you?

What kind of Christianity do you share?
Hats off to Tim Tebow, quarterback of the Denver Broncos, who sparked his team to victory once again in an impossible situation. Late in the fourth quarter, he stayed calm, cool and collected and made an amazing touchdown pass and put his team into field goal position on the next drive. That was 10 points in the last two minutes eight seconds of the game to tie it up. The Broncos defense got the ball back in overtime and Tebow once again led them down the field and positioned his team for a game winning field goal. The sideline reporter said she was standing beside Tebow who was praying before the kick. He thanked his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ first before answering any post game questions.
Contrast this with the man who occupies the Oval Office who made a public display of attending church for the first time since Easter in April. He said, "For me and for millions of Americans, the story has filled our hearts and inspired our lives. It moves us to love one another, to help and serve those less fortunate, to forgive, to draw close to our families, to be grateful for all that has been given to us. To keep faith, and to hold on to an enduring hope in humanity. Service to others; compassion to all; treating others as we wish ourselves to be treated -- those values aren't just at the center of Christianity. Those are values that are shared by all faiths." All faiths, really? Is Christ God or just another good teacher?
With Tebow, its always been all out total focus on Jesus Christ who gave the gift of salvation to whom all praise is due. To the president, its always been about Jesus Christ the man who inspired our lives to service, compassion, and love for one another--values shared by all faiths. Tebow works out his faith by telling everyone at every opportunity how joyful he is to be saved by Christ, and by establishing a hospital in the Philippines for children who need surgery. The president works out his faith by lecturing everybody on Jesus being a great leader whose values are shared by all faiths and by promoting homosexuality, Islamic hegemony and allowing his administration to classify Christians like Tebow as right wing radicals.
I am thankful that the Lord is using Tim Tebow and the man in the White House to contrast a national debate about Christianity. There are many who call themselves Christians who will just delete this Jot or unsubscribe because they don't want to think about it or are offended about the contrast. But brothers and sisters, we need a national debate on who we are as a people. We need to determine where we stand. People can get mad all they want, but at some point we will face our Maker. Revelation 20:15 says, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." And Jesus said in Matthew 10:33, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Eternity is at stake. What kind of Christian are you and how are you working out your faith?

Antichrist type and shadow found in president's treatment of Hanukkah
The man who occupies the Oval Office has disrespected the Jewish high holiday of Hanukkah by lighting all the candles on the menorah, having a Hanukkah party at the White House some 12 days early, and poking fun at the entire event by saying, "So while it is not yet Hanukkah, let's give thanks for our blessings, for being together to celebrate this wonderful holiday season. And we never need an excuse for a good party." There has never been a report where this president has mocked the Islamic holiday of Ramadan. In fact, he has always marked that holiday with serious respect for the false religion. As to Christianity, his record speaks for itself.
Investors.com reported that the president told a fundraiser last week in Manhattan, "This administration -- I try not to pat myself too much on the back -- but this administration has done more in terms of the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration." Or is it deception? On one hand, he says that Hanukkah is an excuse to have a party at the White House, on the other hand, he says his administration has done more to protect Israel than any other. It is an obvious observation that supporting the Israel-hating Muslim Brotherhood in a bid to take over Arab nations of the Middle East is not making Israel more secure, unless he was talking about undermining Israel's security.
The inventory of this administration's treatment of Israel is alarming. The tone was set by Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel when he told the Jewish Community that America's pressure on Iran for its nuclear program would be tied to Israel's disposition toward giving up land for peace to the Palestinian Authority. It has been underscored by making Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exit the White House through the trash alley, by insulting him off mic to to the French President, by refusing to sell the Israeli military spare parts, by bullying Israel to stop building homes on its own land, by demanding Israel return to the negotiating table and mend fences with Egypt, Turkey and Jordan, and much more.
Prophecy is awaited for precise fulfillment, but throughout history there are types and shadows of prophetic fulfillment. This example of mocking the Jewish people and Hanukkah is no less a type and shadow. Daniel 11 speaks of how the antichrist will defile the temple. Verse 36 says, "...and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods." Here this president has taken a seat of power. He has elevated all things that are against God Almighty--homosexuality, abortion, and most notably the antichrist religion Islam. He has demeaned the people of God at every juncture. This is a small picture of the prophecy of the antichrist. And we know what happens to his kingdom. Pray, repent, prepare, stand.

It has been underscored by making Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exit the White House through the trash alley, by insulting him off mic to to the French President, by refusing to sell the Israeli military spare parts, by bullying Israel to stop building homes on its own land, by demanding Israel return to the negotiating table and mend fences with Egypt, Turkey and Jordan, and much more.
Prophecy is awaited for precise fulfillment, but throughout history there are types and shadows of prophetic fulfillment. This example of mocking the Jewish people and Hanukkah is no less a type and shadow. Daniel 11 speaks of how the antichrist will defile the temple. Verse 36 says, "...and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods." Here this president has taken a seat of power. He has elevated all things that are against God Almighty--homosexuality, abortion, and most notably the antichrist religion Islam. He has demeaned the people of God at every juncture. This is a small picture of the prophecy of the antichrist. And we know what happens to his kingdom. Pray, repent, prepare, stand.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Sounding the alarm of preparedness
In the wake of the alarm over the passage of the Defense Authorization Act of 2012, the internet has been rife with opinions on how American citizens can be held in detention with their Constitutional right to a speedy and public trial or habeas corpus suspended. That a Congressional action can trump the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, remains to be seen, but if the Constitution is suspended for whatever reason, there would be no Bill of Rights, no law except the law of power. Now many stories are surfacing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is working closely with defense contractors to ready camps across the United States. This appears to be real, but without confirmation of intent.
Speculation is that the federal government is preparing either for huge disasters--either manmade or natural--or for the event of martial law where American citizens are rounded up and interned in concentration camps. Certainly, when the dots are connected between various actions of the Feds, there is a pattern that could be construed as preparation for very dark days ahead. In December 2008, the Washington Post reported that Pentagon officials confirmed some 20,000 uniformed troops would be deployed by 2011 to help state and local officials respond to a domestic catastrophe. Many consider this a prelude to the suspension of civil rights, others say its preparation for inevitable terrorist attacks.
A Request for Proposal by defense contractor KBR revealed by Alex Jones' Infowars.com outlines a plan where the US is divided into five regions and seeks contractors to provide fencing, living quarters, potable water, bathroom facilities, catering and more for "camps" ranging in size "from 301 to 2,000 persons for up to 30 days." This RFP is undated, but was likely distributed in November. Given that this Administration has defined conservative religious citizens as radicals, and conservatives have been characterized as terrorists by Vice President Joe Biden and others, Christian citizens have good reason for concern. We need not fear, but we do need to control what we can control.
I wholeheartedly believe Jesus' words in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." He is talking about food, clothing, the essentials of survival. We should, however, prepare--spirit, mind and body through prayer and the Word of God. We should also educate ourselves. Ray Gano has written a handy and practical book entitled "Survive The Coming Storm--The Value Of A Preparedness Lifestyle" that every Christian should read. When the protections of government break down, we need to be salt and light to the world. Ray has provided practical ways to survive and to lead others to do the same in the hope of the Lord.

When Homosexual persecution trumps Christianity
Will the White House's new wide ranging foreign aid requirements that tie treatment of homosexuals to aid money help Christians? Probably not. In fact, it seems that the White House believes persecution of Christians is far less a problem than discrimination against homosexuals. So much so that the man who occupies the Oval Office has directed his foreign policy arms to use taxpayer money as a lever for better treatment of the lifestyle that God calls an "abomination." The bottom line is that the president has ordered his State Department and the Agency for International Development to use your tax money to assist homosexuals who are facing human rights violations in countries that receive US money.
He said, "The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States' commitment to promoting human rights." Associated Press reports, "The White House said Tuesday's announcement marked the first US government strategy to combat human rights abuses against gays and lesbians abroad. The order also directs US government agencies to use foreign assistance to protect human rights and advance non-discrimination, and work with international organizations to fight discrimination against gays and lesbians." One has to wonder how this will work in the president's beloved Islamic states where homosexuals are put to death.
The hypocrisy here is amazing. This administration is in partnership with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood has condoned the outright mass killing of Coptic Christians in Egypt. If it could find homosexuals in Egypt, it would allow the killing of them too because homosexuality is illegal under Sharia law. Saudi Arabia discriminates against Christians, as does every Islamic nation. There is no Christian church left in Afghanistan. Few Christian churches remain in Iraq. Iran kills Christians. China persecutes Christians. But this White House does and says only what is required to pay lip service and get a positive press hit once in a while regarding the harsh persecution of Christians in these countries.
Yet, America's tax money is now going to leverage the spread of homosexuality. One can bet that there will be no reduction in funds to so-called "democratic" Islamic states, even though Sharia is very clear about homosexuality. This administration consistently and openly defies the word of God by using the full weight of the US to promote evil. The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:28, "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not becoming." Verse 32 says, "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them." What does this say about us who elect such?

The little known prophecy of Egypt and its helpers
America has taken a distinctive course from supporting Israel to legitimizing Islamism through democratic elections. While the stated US policy still remains supportive of Israel, America's actions have accelerated toward boosting the enemies of Israel in both stature and credibility. The most noticeable public action of this Administration's departure from traditional foreign policy was and is its support of the Muslim Brotherhood as exemplified in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is the worldwide Islamic organization calling for a revived Caliphate and the establishment of global Sharia law. It is the father of many terrorist organizations and the uniter and cooperator of both Shia and Sunni sects of Islam.
It defies logic that this Administration would support an organization that is dedicated to establishing an antithetical system to that of the US Constitution. The Muslim Brotherhood has declared its intentions to take over America through a grand "Civilization Jihad" to destroy the US from within. Nevertheless, the US has assisted the Muslim Brotherhood in its takeover of Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is represented strongly by Huma Abedin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's most trusted confidant and chief of staff. Abedin's mother and brother are among the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood operatives are scattered throughout this Administration.
Ezekiel 30 prophesies about the fate of Egypt and those who help it. The Lord tells us that Egypt will fall. The reason this prophecy in Chapter 30 is important is found in verse 3, "For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen." Verse 6 says, "Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall." Verse 8 says, "And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed." Throughout this chapter, the Lord says that he will strengthen the king of Babylon. Less than a generation after this prophecy, Cyrus completed the Persian conquest of Babylon and the Persian Empire solidified its rule.
We can learn from both the historic and future properties of prophesy. Persia ruled over Babylon. Currently, when the US withdraws from Iraq, Iran (formerly Persia) is poised to make yet another play on Babylon. Egypt has already fallen into the hands of the extreme Islamists thanks to US-assisted democratic elections. Ezekiel 30 speaks of a time when the day of the Lord is near. It prophesies that those who help Egypt will be destroyed. As we discern the very days in which we live, we must be vigilant to understand what our nation is doing and how it relates to even the most overlooked prophecy. There are tremendous prophetic warnings that our leaders are on a course toward destruction. People of God must stand.

The Prophetic Peace Plan--government vs God
There were three stories over the weekend that had prophetic significance to every American. One was the lighting of the Christmas tree at the White House, another was the election outcome in Egypt, and the other was a public showing of disdain for Israel by the Secretary of Defense. All were seemingly unrelated, but they serve as examples of a deeper problem in American foreign policy that has long reaching prophetic consequences. Neither the man who occupies the Oval Office nor his Administration understand who God is and the truth about God's people and God's ways. America, under this Administration, has taken a harsh turn that places our nation as an active prophetic tool of God's enemies.
In lighting the White House Christmas Tree, the president said, "More than 2,000 years ago, a child was born to two faithful travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among the cattle and the sheep. But this was not just any child. Christ's birth made the angels rejoice and attracted shepherds and kings from afar. He was a manifestation of God's love for us. And He grew up to become a leader with a servant's heart who taught us a message as simple as it is powerful: that we should love God, and love our neighbor as ourselves." The president has always missed the point about Jesus. He continues to characterize Jesus as a great leader and a servant who just taught us to treat one another well--it's the Islamic Jesus.
The express purpose of the Christ is found in Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of Peace." Apart from Jesus Christ, there can be no peace. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was reported by Reuters to have scolded Israel and told Israel to get back to the "damn" negotiating table with the Palestinians. This Administration misses the point entirely. Giving land to the so-called Palestinians, whose sole objective according to their organizations' charters is to drive the Jews into the sea, will never create peace.
There is a peace plan in place. It is found in nearly every prophet's book in the Bible, including Revelation. It's called The Day of the Lord, where Jesus Christ returns to earth to set things straight. And it is about land--the deed to the earth that only Christ himself is worthy to open as found in Revelation 5. No amount of land given to Palestinians will bring peace. Only the Prince of Peace will bring peace--not those posing as god via government. The third story about how the leaders of the West were surprised that radical Islamists were winning elections in Islamic lands shows us the foolishness of America's leaders in supporting Islamists--that they are tools of prophecy ushering in the end times, but doing so by standing with evil. Prepare for the consequences.

First fruits of Arab Spring and America's play in prophecy
The first fruits of the White House-generated democracy drive in the Middle East are in. The results of the election in Egypt were an astounding victory for the Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorist sponsoring, Sharia promoting foreign policy partner of the man who occupies the Oval Office. The initial count shows the Muslim Brotherhood taking 45% of the seats in Egypt's parliament and the even more radical Salafist Muslims taking another 20%. The Washington Post reports that "Tunisia and Morocco have both elected Islamist majorities to parliament, while Libya has yet to announce dates for its first elections, Islamist groups have emerged as a strong force there...they also play a strong opposition role in Yemen."
In short, the US president has engineered a radical Islamic takeover of much of the Middle East in league with sworn enemies of America--the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda. As a result the world will become a much more dangerous place. There will be continuous heightened threat of war. Terrorism will increase. These organizations with which the president has aided and abetted, have sworn to create a "civilization jihad" in the US and to drive Israel into the sea. On November 25, for example, Ynet News reported speakers at a Muslim Brotherhood rally of 5,000 people in Cairo often repeated "one day we'll kill all the Jews," calling them "treacherous," vowing "jihad for the sake of Palestine."
Jesus, speaking of the false prophets in Matthew 7:15, 16 said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits." The fruits of this president have been more unemployment, more debt, more promotion of homosexuality, more standing against traditional marriage, and now on the foreign policy side using your tax money and the full stature of America to give historical support to the enemies of God. This is likely the most significant foreign policy move since the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948. These actions at this point in time could very well solidify the Islamic axis that will eventually usher in the antichrist.
Ezekiel 38 says Gog from the land of Magog, price of Meshech and Tubal will lead Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomar, Togarmah against Israel. Verses 15 and 16 say, "And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts...as a cloud to cover the land." Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomar and Togarmah are all in the land directly North of Israel--what is now Turkey. Persia is modern day Iran. Ethiopia is Northeastern Africa, including Sudan. Libya is Northwestern Africa. All these are Islamic nations that come against Israel. Gog, according to many well respected Bible teachers, may be the antichrist. And America through its president's foreign policy has moved the prophecy clock forward. First fruits and food for thought.

Government sanctioned lawlessness and the Defense Authorization Act
Wednesday's Daily Jot about the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 has fanned the embers burning in the hearts of many Americans. A lot of Americans just do not trust the Federal Government. So no matter what the language in the bill says, many Americans believe that the US government will be able to detain indefinitely US citizens if they are suspected of acting against the government. That may well be the case, but it would not be legal. There are countless examples where this particular government is breaking the law and nothing is being done about it--from not enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act to not allowing offshore drilling to selling guns to Mexican drug cartels.
With regard to detaining US Citizens, Go to Thomas Legislative (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php) and type in National Defense Authorization Act 2012 then click on Subtitle D-Detainee Matters and read sections 1031 and 1032. As I read this, 1032 Section (b) is referring to 1031 paragraph (1) where it says that "the Armed Forces of the United States shall hold a person described in paragraph (2) ...in military custody pending disposition under the law of war." To my reading the key word here is "shall" which is a requirement under paragraph (1). This requirement defines the type of person that "shall" be held, essentially terrorists--al Qaeda and those working with them against the United States.
The clause exempting US citizens from detention under this law refers to the "requirement" that the Armed Forces SHALL hold a person. The exemption states: "The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States." Notwithstanding, if this legislation intended to indefinitely detain US citizens, it would be in direct violation of Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution: "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled that suspending habeas corpus was legal, but that military tribunals did not apply to citizens in states that had upheld Constitutional authority and where civilian courts were in operation.
Additionally, the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial. Legally, this Defense bill cannot end run the Constitution. The government, however, can do whatever it wants until someone stops it as exemplified by the White House sealing court records of a US border patrol agent's murder with weapons sold to Mexican drug dealers through a government program. Ephesians 6:13 says, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." We can complain and get all worked up about the possibilities, but standing is the only action that will make a difference. Until we figure out how to do that, lawlessness will abound.

So no matter what the language in the bill says, many Americans believe that the US government will be able to detain indefinitely US citizens if they are suspected of acting against the government. That may well be the case, but it would not be legal. There are countless examples where this particular government is breaking the law and nothing is being done about it--from not enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act to not allowing offshore drilling to selling guns to Mexican drug cartels.
With regard to detaining US Citizens, Go to Thomas Legislative (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php) and type in National Defense Authorization Act 2012 then click on Subtitle D-Detainee Matters and read sections 1031 and 1032. As I read this, 1032 Section (b) is referring to 1031 paragraph (1) where it says that "the Armed Forces of the United States shall hold a person described in paragraph (2) ...in military custody pending disposition under the law of war." To my reading the key word here is "shall" which is a requirement under paragraph (1). This requirement defines the type of person that "shall" be held, essentially terrorists--al Qaeda and those working with them against the United States.
The clause exempting US citizens from detention under this law refers to the "requirement" that the Armed Forces SHALL hold a person. The exemption states: "The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States." Notwithstanding, if this legislation intended to indefinitely detain US citizens, it would be in direct violation of Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution: "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled that suspending habeas corpus was legal, but that military tribunals did not apply to citizens in states that had upheld Constitutional authority and where civilian courts were in operation.
Additionally, the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial. Legally, this Defense bill cannot end run the Constitution. The government, however, can do whatever it wants until someone stops it as exemplified by the White House sealing court records of a US border patrol agent's murder with weapons sold to Mexican drug dealers through a government program. Ephesians 6:13 says, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." We can complain and get all worked up about the possibilities, but standing is the only action that will make a difference. Until we figure out how to do that, lawlessness will abound.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
