1. Domino’s Pizza Founder Obtains Last-Minute Injunction Against Obamacare’s Abortion Pill Mandate
Ann Arbor, Michigan – The founder of the popular pizza chain Domino’s Pizza, now real estate mogul, has obtained an injunction against the abortion pill mandate in Obamacare, just before the requirement went into effect today. Thomas Monaghan, a Roman Catholic, had filed suit in federal court last month on behalf of himself and his property management company, Domino’s Farms Corporation, contending that the contraception mandate in Obamacare violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act...“Causing death can never be considered a form of medical treatment,” his legal challenge outlined...On Sunday, Judge Lawrence Zatkoff ruled in favor of Monaghan, exempting him from the mandate while his case proceeds in court. He opined that Monaghan had sufficiently demonstrated that the requirement will “substantially burden his exercise of religion.”
2. Same-sex marriage ceremonies begin in Maryland
Same-sex couples in Maryland were greeted with cheers and noisemakers held over from New Year's Eve parties, as gay marriage became legal in the first state south of the Mason-Dixon Line on New Year's Day.
3. Colorado gets members-only clubs for legal pot use
With reggae music pumping in the background and flashing disco-style lights, members of the recreational pot club lit up in celebration of the new year — and a new place to smoke legally among friends.
4. New Jersey bans smiles on driver's licenses to safeguard facial recognition
Residents of New Jersey aren't allowed to smile on their driver’s license, but there isn't a prohibition on looking pleased. Jersey is just the latest state that's inputting identities in a vast information system running facial recognition software.
5. TSA VIPR Team Keeps Tabs on NFL Fans
TSA agents were out in force during yesterday’s Vikings-Packers game at the Metrodome in Minnesota, in addition to a surveillance drone that was spotted keeping tabs on fans — another illustration of how the federal agency is expanding its remit well outside the realm of transportation.

Tom, I am not sure if you have seen this yet or not. A friend shared this YouTube video of the President's Inaugural breakfast, with guest speaker Jonathan Cahn, a Jewish rabbi. Much of what he said was spot on about our nation and where we are presently, but then he spoke of harbingers, and such, and then he quoted Lincoln and told Obama, basically, if I am getting this right, that he should follow Lincoln's model. Something tells me something is not right with this and that possibly this is a formal declaration of judgment on America, and this was the go ahead to Obama to do what Lincoln did. I don't know. I just know something is not right with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mhRBOKb_6I
ReplyDeleteI do know about this, and my take is that, first, you are right that something is not right. The fact is that nothing is right about it. The bottom line, as it would be too much to explain the whole thing here, is that it is a massive 'con- job'. There is a plan being worked out, and it has to do with the "judaizing of christianity", which is to say bringing Christians and Christianity under subjection to Judaism, i.e. talmudic-rabbinic control. But not only Christians, all religions, and in fact, all of society - brought under jewish talmudic control with rabbis as authorities.
ReplyDeleteThere is much more to it, as mentioned above, but the entire premise of what Cahn is saying is based on a false foundation - which is making America out to be a "covenant nation" as was/is Israel (not to mention the also-false 9/11 harbinger aspect) and coming under judgment because of it. This is absolutely unscriptural, i.e. utterly false. God never made any 'covenant' with 'America'. At the present time, in this dispensation - the calling of the church, the true body of Christ is the 'nation' of God - 1Peter 2:9.
Isaiah 8:20 'To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them'
Jews, contrary to what most people think, do not at all believe the bible - they follow the Talmud (and the kabbalah) only:
Matthew 16:6 ¶ Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees
For example:
Erubin 21b: Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be punished by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.
Coschen hamischpat 425 Hagah 425. 5: "It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah. The Christians belong to the denying ones of the Torah."
Rosh Hashanah 17a: Christians ("minim") and others who reject the Talmud will go to hell and be punished there for all generations
Shabbath 116a (p. 569): Jews must destroy the books of the Christians, i.e. the New Testament.
Zohar 1,160a: "Jews must always try to deceive Christians."
Schabouth Hag. 6b: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording.
The Lord Jesus also said: "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ" (Matthew 23:8)
It might also be noted that there is a possible play on words here, as far as the idea of this being imo a 'con' job
It is coming from a "rabbi"...whose name just so happens to be...rabbi Cahn

All of this is related to the subject of this post: Obama quotes the kabbalah - tikkun olam
May post on these things later...Lord willing.
Thank you Tom. Absolutely the true body of Christ, the church, is the 'nation' of God. Agreed! And I agree that there was something not right with this speech from beginning to end. I thought it really odd that they would have such a speech at the president's inaugural prayer breakfast,for one thing, so I immediately began to question the motivation behind this speech.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes what the speaker said was mostly based on a false foundation or lets say his basis for saying what he said and perhaps his motivation for what he said were based on a false foundation, but not everything he said was false.
Where I thought he was spot on was in his description of the spiritual condition of America, which includes at least a segment of the church (the lukewarm church of today), yet I kept thinking to myself, "Why is he saying all this?" And, then when he told Obama to follow the model of Lincoln, I felt something really wrong here, because we know what Lincoln did to the American people in suspending habeas corpus and basically declaring martial law.
He also made several references to the America we have come to know or something like that, as though he was saying, in essence, that there is a distinction between the America we have come to know and the true America that exists. At least this was my take on it.
Anyway, I agree with you that this had the wrong motivation and the wrong basis/foundation and that there is something very sinister going on behind the scenes with this. And, I do believe there was something to his comments to Obama and the Obama/Lincoln connection, too, and that it has to do with martial law and suspending habeas corpus. At least, this was my take on it.

The Lincoln connection is definitely there, Obama even swore in on the Lincoln bible as you surely know. Wouldn't even surprise me if at some point a mock John-Wilkes-Booth episode was enacted to bring about a fake recovery of a fake head-wound - antichrist-like.
ReplyDeleteLooked it up real quick and turns out that when Lincoln bypassed congress and declared martial law he claimed "suppression of rebellion" as his reason, which apparently does not require congressional approval. Civil war was the backdrop for all of it, and it is unlikely to be a coincidence that that phrase has been reintroduced into the 'national discussion' over the last couple of years.
Clearly a fomenting of "rebellion" is already underway, both on the religious front with the HHS, and now possibly gun control.
Cahn is playing another role. He is identifying what is going on in America, like you say, which are obvious things actually, and he is then using that to do a 2Chron. 7:14 rally cry - "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"
The reality though, as the rallying happens, it will take the form of interfaith alliances - with Jewish rabbis in control, and the plan is, when they do "heal the land", probably after rebellion and martial law, Jewish rabbis will stay in control. It is all about building their kingdom of the false-Zion, i.e tikkun olam - Jewish rule of the world.
It's a master plan. Cahn is connected to all the so-called 'televangelists' and they are all following directions already.
The truth is that America will not be 'restored'. It is not scriptural. As the book of Daniel informs us [Dan. 7:23], the "fourth beast....shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces". The whole earth means America too. What will happen after that (this has been posted many times on the blog so you may have seen it) is Ten Kings...Shall Arise" Dan. 7:24
The bottom line is that all of this is bible prophecy. When the Antichrist rises to power, it will be as the king of a Jewish global empire. It's being constructed.
I think alot of what you have laid out makes sense biblically...but how does the idea of a false zionist global government fit with Luke 21:24 where Jesus tells us that "Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled"? This passage indicates a Gentile government (fourth kingdom of Daniel 2) until Christ comes and shatters them all when He sets up His everlasting kingdom.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteThere is an interesting thing about the description of the last of the gentile governments in Daniel 2, it being the legs and the feet, and as Daniel describes it, the very last stage being the ten toes [Dan. 2:41,42]. What is interesting about this is that there is a mixture of some sort that happens in the feet and toes. The Word of God says in the 41st verse that this mixture is "part of potters clay, and part of iron". Then in the 43rd verse we have another unusual verse that tells us - '"And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men" [Dan. 2:43]. The meaning of this is not explained by Daniel. In the next verse, the toes are referred to as "kings" [Dan. 2:44]
In the 7th chapter we have the same thing, but additional information is given. Dan. 7:24 speaks of ten kings, which correspond to the ten toes/kings in Dan 2 - "ten kings shall arise". The next thing we learn is that "another shall arise after him, and he shall be diverse from the first (group)". In other words, this 'eleventh' king shall be completely separate from the 'ten toes'. This verse of course gives us the first appearance of the Antichrist, corresponding to Rev. 6:2.
What these things show us is, in these last stages at least, is that there is more to it than just a cut-and-dry, so to speak, gentile government. A 'mingling' of some sort has taken place, and, the Antichrist, not being one of the 'toes', does not then require us to assume that he must be a gentile.
The 'mingled-seed' and the 'diverse kingdom' open up some interesting possibilities, but I'd make the case that the basic answer is found in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 8:44, speaking to the Pharisees he says "ye are of your father the devil". In Revelation 2:9; 3:9 he speaks of the "synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie". These are not idle words, but are deep and profound truths. Jews today will proudly claim that "the Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees" link.
Talmudism, along with the kabbalah, is the Jewish religion they speak of. The Lord Jesus Christ calls it the synagogue of Satan, and identifies Satan as their father. What exactly He was saying is another subject, but anyone willing to take an honest look at today's world would have to admit that the "Synagogue of Satan", has over the years, managed to get themselves into virtually every position of power in the world today. Illuminati, freemasons, etc., the secret societies as it were - research will show that behind the scenes all these are Jewish.
Now there is one very important distinction that has to be made here though, and it is again the words of the Lord Jesus when he said..."they say they are Jews, but are not". In some way then they are counterfeits. Technically speaking, that makes them gentiles, a gentile being any non-jew. Anyway, whether or not this has anything to do with the topic of the 'clay-iron mingle' is probably best described as an ongoing debate.
As far as the true Israel is concerned though, The LORD will deal with all this in the coming time of tribulation. He says that he will "purge out the rebels" [Ezk. 20:38], and that he will bring forth an elect "seed out of Jacob" that will inherit the kingdom [Isa. 65:9].
The language is interesting.
Anyway, that I believe is the answer...
Rev. 18:4
Well I do think people confuse the physical and spiritual when reading the bible concerning the Jew. It is clear from looking at the world around us that many Jews are part of the One World Everything but that doesn't make them gentiles. The bible teaches that Gentiles (not secular or Pharisee type Jews) will be ruling from Jerusalem when Christ returns at the Second Advent. Also, Jeremiah 30:5-24 and Daniel 12:1, among other scriptures, talk specifically about Jacob's coming trouble...not Spiritual Israel...and how God will use that time for punishment but save Jacob out of it (a part of Jacob anyway). Deuteronomy 30:1-9 also describes God's regathering of Israel and His circumcision of their hearts. Plus the land covenant has very specific land boundaries described in Genesis 15 and Numbers 34 that has never been fulfilled. And the land boundaries were part of the unilateral covenant God cut by Himself with Abraham...it was a one-sided covenant not a covenant contingent on performance/obedience. Paul takes quite a bit of time to explain in Romans 9-11 the relationship God has with the Jews which he sums up in Romans 11:26 and29 "There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election they are beloved for the fathers' sake. For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable." Sure seems like God has a plan for Jacob that has yet to be fulfilled.
ReplyDeleteWithout question the Lord has a very clear plan for the Jews - He will bring an "elect" remant through the tribulation - Isaiah 65:9; and numerous other verses/passages. They will at that time be restored to their place as God's 'earthly people', as opposed to the church which are a "heavenly people" - Hebrews 3:1; Eph 2:6.
ReplyDeleteAnd not pharisee or secular, but Synagogue of Satan Jews is what the Lord Jesus Christ said - "which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie" - Rev. 3:9. There is something more to it, and it is not about spiritualizing. It has to do with the clay-iron mix of Daniel 2. Some take this as meaning the 'seed of the serpent', i.e fallen angel-nephilim, etc. - John 8:44. As mentioned in my comment above, this is best seen as an ongoing debate.
And the Jews are already in control of Jerusalem - since 1967 - but they are still fighting the Arabs over parts of it, and the Dome of the Rock is still there. As long as the Dome is still there, regardless of whatever else is happening, this is still a treading down of gentiles, even though the Jews may control the city.
But at the time of the actual return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the 'eleventh' king, not of the ten, will actually be ruling from Jerusalem. The eleventh king ends the actual rule of the ten toes, and in fact puts down three - Dan. 7:24. This king will be the 'Jewish' Antichrist. Daniel 2 does not give this information. It is an overview. These extra details are supplied in Dan. 7.
The Jews will have built a temple and be worshiping at this time also. Their worship will be an abomination - - Isa. 66:3.
It will literally be the Synagogue of Satan - and that is the temple the Antichrist will enter and declare himself to be god - 2Thes. 2:4. This will be the worst treading down of Jerusalem ever seen.
The remnant of the Jews will be delivered - Rev. 12:14, the greater majority will suffer the wrath of God for they will side with the Antichrist. It should be noted though, that at present, Jews are today still in the time that Hosea spoke of: Lo ammi - not my people - Hosea 1:9. This will not change until the days of Ezekiel 37, which are still future, at which time they will be saved and given the new covenant of Jer. 32.
Dan. 2 and Dan. 7 must both be considered together to interpret Luke 21:24.
thank you tom m. I tend to agree with everything you have written. Interesting times we live in....I see the Pope resigned this morning. Always curious to see how Rome and Jerusalem intersect.
