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!
