When Lawlessness Abounds: president's admirer predicts revolution at your door
Nation of Islam Leader Lois Farrakhan delivered his four hour annual "Savior's Day" speech to followers in Chicago on Sunday. The Chicago Tribune reports that Farrakhan told his followers that revolution is imminent in America: "What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt ... Libya, in Bahrain ... what you see happening there ... you'd better prepare because it will be coming to your door," The Tribune said Farrakhan delivered the prediction in a booming voice, with thousands of followers cheering in response. Farrakhan called on the current president to allow protesters to march, urging the him not to attack innocent people when they do.
Farrakhan is an admitted admirer of the current president, calling him at one time the "Messiah." So when Farrakhan, a long time radical and considered by many a racist toward caucasians, says there is going to be a Middle East style revolution in the United States, more than Homeland Security should take notice. Labor Unions--translated socialist activists--in Wisconsin already have started this protest movement over a financially troubled state wanting public employees to pay their fair share of health insurance. Duly elected legislators have gone into hiding to block legislation that mandates the cuts. In other words, they are violating their oath of office to side with those who wish to undermine the "democratic" process.
This is also occurring from the White House, who not only is supporting the Wisconsin protests, but also has gone against the democratic process and is breaking the law. The White House has said it will no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act, defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The White House has ignored court decisions that the socialist healthcare law is unconstitutional and is proceeding with its implementation. The White House has ignored a court order to allow offshore drilling for oil by refusing to issue permits. Congress voted down a White House proposal for an economic advisory committee, so the president established it by executive order. This list of lawlessness is not a short one.
The Washington Post reported on February 18, that the president's "political machine worked in close coordination Thursday with state and national union officials to get thousands of protesters to gather in Madison and to plan similar demonstrations in other state capitals." What separates the American experiment in representative government is the rule of law, not the rule of those who shout the loudest. Jesus said of the latter days in Matthew 24:12, "And because lawlessness abounds, the love of many shall wax cold." He is speaking of the lawlessness of sin and iniquity, the non-compliance to God's law. Can you see the parallel to what is coming to your door?

The White House connection to Qaddafi
The White House put insurmountable pressure on long time US ally Hosni Mubarak of Egypt to step down and pave the way for a more radical regime backed by the terrorist sponsoring Muslim Brotherhood. It was a peaceful transfer of power. In Libya, however, Islamic terrorist dictator Muammar Qaddafi is killing people by the hundreds who are demonstrating against his regime. The White House has stood by silently, offering only a statement from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the world should speak as one voice in dealing with the Libyan uprising. The question is evident: Why would the American president depose an ally, but do nothing to remove a radical dictator with a long history of terrorism?
There is a connection between the president and Qaddafi that goes far back to at least when the president was attending the church of the radical Jeremiah Wright. Wright was involved with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. On March 19th, 2007, Ryan Lizza, Senior Editor at The New Republic wrote a biographical piece on Wright explicitly stating that Wright is a former Muslim. Wright accompanied Farrakhan on a 1996 visit to Libya's terrorist dictator Qaddafi. Whether the president knew Qaddafi during these years is not public knowledge, but there is a connection that appears to run so deep that Qaddafi himself has praised the president on several occasions.
In October 2008, Qaddafi said in a speech, "There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. . .We still hope that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith." In April 2010, Qaddafi spoke about the president to a crowd in Sirt, Libya saying, "He is someone I consider a friend. He knows he is a son of Africa. Regardless of his African belonging, he is of Arab Sudanese descent, or of Muslim descent."
On July 9, 2009 at the G-8 summit FOX News published a picture of the president shaking hands with Qaddafi. The story said the "diplomatic gesture was his latest effort to reach out to controversial world leaders in an attempt to improve the United States' standing around the world." Now there are rumors in Libya that al Qaeda has a government in waiting for when Qaddafi is toppled. Interesting that in both Egypt and in Libya, more radical regimes wait in the wings and the American president is in the thick of these events. 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." Our nation is in great peril.

Prophetic acceleration of national decline and rise of a one world order
In 2002, when the Lord placed it on my heart to write "The Daily Jot", there were probably only one or two events on the national or world stage a month that could be considered "prophetic." Five years later it was perhaps one a week. And as I look at the headlines today, I am seeing that events with prophetic significance are occurring several times a day. We need to be vigilant. We need to have understanding. We need to have discernment. There is fast coming a time when the guidance of the Holy Spirit may not only mean the saving of our personal lives, but also be the God-given opportunity to lead another soul to eternal life. We have to be ready. We have to be awake.
Many of the verses in Daniel and Revelation are difficult to understand. Some are symbolic. Some are literal. Some have been fulfilled. Some have yet to be fulfilled. Of the things that we know, we must be ever alert that, as Jesus warned his disciples in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." In Acts 1:6, Jesus was asked when he would restore the kingdom to Israel. Jesus replied, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
America long has been the nation that has stood in the gap for Israel and has been the block in the breech against the coming one world order. In recent years, America's leadership has become less and less a barrier to the rise of the antichrist and a one world government. Events under this current leadership have exponentially accelerated toward the prophetic end times. There are several events in the news today that have prophetic implications for America and the future of every American. For example, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that the world should "speak with one voice" with regard to the unrest in Libya, yielding America's sovereignty to a one world order.
The president says he will no longer defend marriage between a man and a woman in the courts, opening the door for homosexuals to have marriage rights. The president and his political party also are directly supporting labor unrest in several states, pitting Americans against Americans, and undermining our legislative system. One Democratic Massachusetts Congressman said its time "to get out on the streets and get a little bloody." Oil prices have reached $119 on the world market, meaning prices for food and other essentials will inflate. Americans are prevented by their government to drill for oil domestically. We as citizens need to begin standing strong for our nation. Our leaders are incapable of it.

A prophetic shaking throughout the Middle East
The news media and the Director of National Intelligence have been proven wrong that the Muslim Brotherhood is a non-violent group with mainly secular ties. AFP reports that the "spiritual leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood", also the head of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi issued a religious edict, or fatwa, that fellow sponsor of terrorism Moamer Kadhafi is to be killed. Al-Qaradawi told Al Jazeera television from his base in Qatar, "Whoever in the Libyan army is able to shoot a bullet at Mr. Kadhafi should do so...to rid Libya of him." This should be a clear indicator to the White House that the Muslim Brotherhood is assisting in the unrest of the entire Middle East.
The Middle East is in uproar. This obvious statement belies explanation. The Western news media says it is an uprising of people around the region who want freedom and democracy. But what does not fit this picture is the Muslim Brotherhood. This group is a terror sponsoring group that advocated a worldwide Caliphate--that is Sharia Law established in every country on the earth. Democracy is the antithesis of Muslim Brotherhood doctrine. Peace is only the peace of Islam, which is found in Sharia law. And freedom is the freedom found in the shackles of Sharia. No other political body on the face of the earth promotes human rights violations and slavery more than the so-called "peaceful" religion of Islam.
That the Muslim Brotherhood is working with its natural opposition, the Shiite Iranian Ayatollah, in overthrowing what many consider radical regimes, means one of two things: either a more moderate government is sought, or a more radical government is on the horizon. Given the rhetoric that one reads on the signs of the protestors and hears in their chants, the hate for Israel and America does not give much hope for a moderate, democratic replacement of these regimes. Once again, to discern this "movement" properly, one has to look at the actions of the people, not the reporting of idealist left-leaning journalists.
The sinister and warlike characteristics of Islam were long adopted before Mohammed chose the greatest of the pagan gods in the temple at Mecca to be the one and only allah. Ishmaelites descended from Ishmael and are mentioned no less than eight times in the Old Testament. In Psalm 83, Asaph writes in verse 4, "They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." Then he lists those who wish to destroy Israel and among them are the Ishmaelites. The more things change, the more they remain the same. This Islamist uprising is not about democracy, perhaps more about demon-ocracy. Take heed that you are not deceived.

Sudden reversal: US vetoes UN condemnation of Israel
Sometime between Wednesday, February 16 and Friday, February 18, the White House reversed its position on the United Nations resolution condemning the "continued settlement activity" by Israel. In an "about face," the Administration vetoed the UN resolution, it previously was reported to support, even help craft. Even so, Americans should watch for tremendous announcements of political deals in the aftermath that has angered the Islamic world to the point of riot. After a week or more of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying that the US did not support Israel's right to build houses on its own land, and news reports that the US would vote with the Islamic block, in the end, the US used its veto power.
There was tremendous back room dealing going on leading up to the vote. The UK Guardian reported: "The vote, on Friday night, followed frantic diplomatic efforts to prevent the tabling of the resolution, which was carefully worded to reflect official US policy on settlements. Obama spoke to Abbas on the phone for 50 minutes on Thursday, offering a package of inducements, including public statements, to withdraw the resolution...Obama also suggested US aid to the Palestinian Authority could be halted if the resolution went ahead." It is obvious from the veto that the US did not get what it wanted from the Palestinian side, but must have gotten more than what is being reported from the Israeli side.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel "deeply appreciated" the US standing alone for Israel in the 14-1 vote. Traditional allies of Israel such as Great Britain, France and Germany all voted with Islam. Israel's political opposition leader, Tzipi Livni, said the "US is being pushed into a corner and finds itself with Israel against the world." The Guardian reports Israeli-Arab member of the Knesset, Ibrahim Sarsour, wrote in an open letter to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, "Obama cannot be trusted. We knew his promises were lies. The time has come to spit in the face of the Americans." Palestinians, indeed, are planning a "day of rage" to protest America.
The American Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, said that the US agreed with the resolution it voted against, but that the Security Council should not be resolving the core issues between the Palestinians and Israel. Something is amiss here. The White House helped write this resolution and indicated support for it. Then, after much negotiating, voted against it. Jesus said in Luke 8:17, "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid that shall not be known and come abroad." There will be more revealed on this in the days ahead. But for now, America stood with Israel in the public domain. Let us pray that in the hidden back rooms of political maneuvering, it did so as well.

Prophecy Clock: Eschatology of Islam and Christianity
The Lord says in Isaiah 55:8,9, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways...For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." Jesus said in Matthew 28:18, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." If we believe the word of God, then we must understand that all power rests in the hands of Christ, and that the Lord's ways, thoughts, and methods are so far above ours that we cannot understand them completely. World events, therefore, as we usher in the end times and see prophecies maturing to fulfillment, will not be as man wishes them to be, nor will they be as they appear.
The Western world looks at the Middle East and wants to believe that the protests to topple the governments in Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and others are freedom driven. They may just be in the minds of those who are protesting, but the freedom they are desiring is not the same as Western freedom as upheld in a Constitutional Republic or a representative democracy. It is the freedom of Islam, the peace of Islam. This freedom is the freedom of the made up and revamped moon god, allah, as defined by a deranged warlord and pedophile Mohammed in the 7th century. This so-called freedom is determined by Sharia law, where women and non-Muslims are subject to the Islamic Caliphate.
Islam's eschatology is similar to Christianity. Like most things of satan, however, Islam is an imitation leading many into deception. The 12th Imam is expected to return in the end times and bring the peace of Islam to the world for seven years with Jesus Christ as his prophet. On the 32nd anniversary of the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad gave a speech that the unrest in the Middle East is the beginning of the return of the 12th Imam. He said, "The final move has begun. We are in the middle of a world revolution managed by this dear (12th Imam). A great awakening is unfolding. One can witness the hand of the Imam in managing it." He believes that America is trying to prevent this.
Ahmadinejad has a very different view of the Egyptian uprising because he believes it will usher in the seven year reign of the 12th Imam, even with Christ as his prophet. This certainly parallels with what Christians believe about the antichrist, the seven year tribulation, and the eventual return of Christ. Those who minimize the prophecies of the end times believe the uprisings are spontaneous revolutions for freedom. Most believe Ahmadinejad to be delusional. These leaders also believe those who see Israel as God's timepiece of prophecy are ignorant radicals. Notwithstanding what the worldly believe, the prophecy clock has moved forward with Middle East unrest. Discern the scriptures that you are not left with your lamp half full.

White House to condemn Israel in UN Security Council

White House to condemn Israel in UN Security Council
The blackmail foreign policy adopted by the White House against Israel is set to continue on the world stage this week. The United States is reported to be joining the other members of the United Nations Security Council to rebuke Israel for its continuing to allow its citizens to build homes on its own land. This is a first for the American government to take such a harsh international public stance against the Israeli settlements since the previous Bush Administration pressured then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to force abandonment of the settlements in Gaza. That move in of itself resulted in a terrorist takeover of Gaza and continued missile attacks on Israel rather than the peace expected by the experts.
The UN Security Council resolution supported by the White House states: "...the Secruity Council reiterates its previous resolutions and the obligations under the Quartet Roadmap, endorsed by its resolution 1515 (2003), expresses its strong opposition to any unilateral actions by any party, which cannot prejudge the outcome of negotiations and will not be recognized by the international community, and reaffirms that it does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity, which is a serious obstacle to the peace process." The Palestinians have been discussing stronger measures the Security Council and have reportedly backed the White House into a corner.
But the bottom line here is that this Administration has been Israeli-unfriendly from the beginning, supporting the Arab worldview. From his first major speech in Cairo, the man who occupies the Oval Office has signaled that there is a new beginning in American foreign policy that favors the Islamic world. He said, "I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."
Since, he has been angered when Israel pushed back on concessions to the terrorists, even standing up the Prime Minister of Israel at dinner and making him leave the White House through an alley stacked with trash. He has refused to upgrade technology for Israel's defenses, and has refused certain arms sales to the ally. At the same time, he has increased military sales to the Arab world and supported the inclusion of the terrorist sponsoring Muslim Brotherhood in establishing a new government in Egypt. The handwriting is on the wall and the American leader is found wanting. Genesis 12:3 says of Israel, "I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curses thee." Think of the worsening condition of our nation.

White House to condemn Israel in UN Security Council
The blackmail foreign policy adopted by the White House against Israel is set to continue on the world stage this week. The United States is reported to be joining the other members of the United Nations Security Council to rebuke Israel for its continuing to allow its citizens to build homes on its own land. This is a first for the American government to take such a harsh international public stance against the Israeli settlements since the previous Bush Administration pressured then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to force abandonment of the settlements in Gaza. That move in of itself resulted in a terrorist takeover of Gaza and continued missile attacks on Israel rather than the peace expected by the experts.
The UN Security Council resolution supported by the White House states: "...the Secruity Council reiterates its previous resolutions and the obligations under the Quartet Roadmap, endorsed by its resolution 1515 (2003), expresses its strong opposition to any unilateral actions by any party, which cannot prejudge the outcome of negotiations and will not be recognized by the international community, and reaffirms that it does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity, which is a serious obstacle to the peace process." The Palestinians have been discussing stronger measures the Security Council and have reportedly backed the White House into a corner.
But the bottom line here is that this Administration has been Israeli-unfriendly from the beginning, supporting the Arab worldview. From his first major speech in Cairo, the man who occupies the Oval Office has signaled that there is a new beginning in American foreign policy that favors the Islamic world. He said, "I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."
