Storm On Horizon

Something is definitely happening in the heavens.

I'm no prophet, trust me, but when this neighborhood gets two shootings and a knifing within a week span, there's trouble on the stoop. That kind of incident happens up here maybe once every four or five years- during my lifetime, anyway. What can I say about it? What kind of powers in the Heavens are at work here?

A reading of Scripture will tell us: "We war not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities in Heavenly places." Those powers and principalities are working overtime because they know their "time" is near.

How can we be certain of this, know from our own observations? Look around at the societies around us and weigh what you see with Scripture. Simple to do and it won't take a prophet to see we are very near a catastrophic time in our lives. All of us.

Every man, woman and child on this planet.

Here in the United States, compare Scripture with what is happening in the financial markets. "A loaf of bread will buy a bag of gold." At the moment, it's taking half an hour's work to buy a loaf of bread, so it's getting close. "The final war will be fought for heat." Really. Look it up: Old Testament verse. Not only is the price of gas for our vehicles climbing, so are heating fuels for our homes. In a few years I have no doubt we'll be fighting with Iran and other Mid-East countries, especially if Pelosi and her ilk continue to get their way. It doesn't take a prophet to see that, just someone with their eyes open to the world around them.

"A man's enemies will be his own family." Consider what is happening to the very foundation of America: the family. Fathers neglecting their own children; forsaking the vows they made their wives for a romp in the hay with someone else's wife; the very education the children are receiving in the schools they attend; the odorous methods being used to accelerate illicit homosexual/lesbian and other "alternative" lifestyles - especially how Hollywierd is promulgating the trend on national television; think about what is happening to children daily in their own homes- rapes, murders, the drugs and slovenly habit of video games and computer 'freedoms' and television heroes(ines); consider also the way they are fed a diet of unhealthy food, Mickey D's and the ilk that makes our lives "so much easier".

What is happening to the very homes we so value in this society, that give us "the American dream"? People- many who did not deserve the loan(s) they got for the home(s) they didn't earn- are losing these home(s), living now in vehicles or on the street or with family/friends. And what is happening to alleviate that problem? Our government is giving our money to the companies that made the faulty loans and to the people who did nothing to earn either the money or the home(s). Whatever happened to companies rising or falling by their own merits/greed rather than being rescued by government?

Consider the implications of the upcoming Presidential elections. What do you see happening that should certainly alarm your sense of "Get the hell out of Dodge"?

So many around me feel we will be electing a young know-nothing, prejudiced, ignorant and foolish man with an equally prejudiced, foolish wife. A fool who will readily give away the country he claims to be a citizen of just so he can look sleek and cool, an esquire among peons. (Not that the alternative is a whole lot better.)

Which brings me to the point of this post: IMnotalwayssoHO, we'd better be getting our shit together, because someone is going to try taking it and giving it to a foreign country or others who certainly have not earned what we have.

This society is turning a corner to a rapidly devalued dollar, worthless on all markets, to unprecedented crime- murder, rape, robbery, theft- on the streets of our cities, in our countryside. There will soon be two wars happening "on the home front": a class war- those who have the power and those who have taken it- and a race war, because regardless how the election goes, the colors will not mix well and will more violently attack those they perceive as being the oppressor- combined among them will be the religious elements and the political. A revolution is coming and it won't be pretty.

So, folks: get your bullets, bandages and beans lined up. Start with the bullets cuz we're going to need them. Bandages because we're going to need them. Beans because no one else is going to have any and will need them.

No, IMO, there will not be a "total system breakdown" (but I lay no claim to 'expert' in this area) but it's going to get ugly: depression, rebellion, riots, hunger and crime, more hunger and crime, homelessness and starvation. Those who have not will get it from those who have and are not willing to protect it.

So if you value what you have- your family- then be prepared to protect and help them. Set your mind to this task, be not afraid to defend what is yours to keep or give away, but let it not be taken from you. Most, be humble before your God and know He is with those who are "not afraid to protect their home" (check the Scriptures); love your family and be willing to die for your family and brother, to protect all and to help all. For it is this very reason He has set you free: to be free to share your love and His, to care for the widow (who are widowed indeed) and orphan, thereby showing what great love He has for you, His child.

Not to protect and coddle the criminal and murderer, but your family. Don't be mistaken: "the times, they are a-changin'" (to paraphrase a local hero), be ready to change with them.

All who know they were born in the wrong century will soon discover themselves within that century.

Coming next: what I've done and am doing to prepare for the shit flying.

Compass

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.
There is no room for argument there. God created it all. Any who say life "evolved" from a primordial mass created after a "big bang" is taking a greater leap of faith than those who believe the Scriptures. Where did this "stuff" come from to go "bang"? It's "always been there." Yup. Uh-huh. Always. Talk about a leap of faith. It's more easy and justifiable to believe God spoke it into existence. Takes a lot less Faith, and a more rational Faith.

Each and every day is ordained and established by God. He directs the steps of those who seek Him. He also allows the steps of those who don't. Regardless whether we believe or not, He is in control. So give Him the honor due and attempt to glorify Him with our lives.

Sit-coms do all they can to belittle the honest working father, the man doing his best to rear a family in an unjust world. They especially enjoy belittling the white fathers. Is it any wonder children have no respect for their parents, teachers, law-enforcement officers or others in authoritative positions? Teach children their parents are bumbling idiots undeserving of respect and there is no God in control and then complain when they commit acts of violence on the streets and in their schools. Take out God and put in metal detectors and armed security.

Glorify criminal behavior in films and on TV, in the papers, on the talk shows. Glorify nudity and multiple marriages and promiscuous and deviant sex. Make the life of a fish or bird or wolf or tree or salamander more valuable than a human life. Teach "values education" in schools where children can make decisions about who would be worth saving more than another. Teach children it's "Okay to be "different" in lifestyle regardless what it is." Teach children that it's wrong to defend themselves when bullied, that "zero tolerance" is the answer to the problem and then be unable to enforce it because bullies don't pay attention to rules any more than criminals do.

Create new "laws" that will not and cannot be enforced by authorities already over-stretched attempting to enforce the laws already written. More useless laws to conceal stupid laws enacted by fools who pay no attention to the laws themselves, feeling above and superior to law. Remove the rights of honest people so they are more defenseless against the criminal element. Remove the rights of honest people so they are more easily controlled by a "ruling class".
Remove the hope and Faith of honest people so they are more easily swayed to believe anything they are told by a single-minded media. Feed people a steady diet of fantasy so they believe that is what matters in their lives.

Continually denigrate God-believers and those with absolute ideas of right and wrong, of good and evil.

Continue to teach our children that in America it isn't the Constitution or laws that matter, only how loudly you can raise your voice or how much you can pay a special interest group to advocate your cause. Show our children that Patriotism is dead, that anyone anywhere can do as they please in America because that is their "right as Americans". Then show them that Americans really have no rights compared to those here illegally. Show our children that foreigners who war against us have more Constitutional rights than Americans. Show our children that we are going to pay the bill for all the world except those born American. Show our children we are willing to rebuild the countries that war against us, but not our own ravaged areas.

It is my contention The United States of America has lost its moral compass and is falling for the Hollywood hype, falling for the "mass media" depiction of what we should be. We need to get a renewed excitement for the honest things of God. We need to get a renewed excitement over family matters, of teaching our children right from wrong with an honest Guide. We need to rebel against the media hype and show them through our actions what we believe in, what direction we want this country to go, to grow in. We need to get our act together, to repair the wrongs in America and say "to hell with the rest of the world" until we get ourselves righted.

We need to forget about rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan and Africa and Mexico and South America and Europe and Russia. We need to rebuild America first: Physician, heal thyself, then heal others.
