Examiner 04-06-2012: HB2549: Arizona's Internet Censorship Bill paving way for Anti-Christ's Kingdom

File this one under "Big Brother Legislation".

On March 28, the Arizona State Legislature passed HB 2549 that many critics claim would have serious constitutional repercussions. [Read the Bill here.]

HB 2549 amended a law already on the books that criminalizes harassing telephone calls and broadens it to "any electronic or digital device" in an effort to stop bullying and other types of harassment. While although this a noble cause, the Media Coalition, one of the bill’s most outspoken critics, believes that the bill is too overly broad and would harm rather than help the problem. As reported in a Phoenix New Times blog article, the Coalition sent the Governor a memo stating the following:

"H.B. 2549 is not limited to a one to one conversation between two specific people. The communication does not need to be repetitive or even unwanted. There is no requirement that the recipient or subject of the speech actually feel offended, annoyed or scared. Nor does the legislation make clear that the communication must be intended to offend or annoy the reader, the subject or even any specific person."

There has been so much media attention and negative publicity concerning this bill that as of April 3, instead of going to the Governor’s desk for signature the bill went into a conference committee were it will either be amended or laid to rest until the next legislative session.

The Bible Prophecy Connection

While although this bill will not be signed into law in its current form, it definitely is a shadow of things to come in the near future. According to Revelation 13:5-8, the Beast, otherwise known as the Anti-Christ, is given power over all peoples.

5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
We also know from Daniel 7:23 that the fourth and last world kingdom, ruled by the Anti-Christ, will be so powerful that it will control the whole earth.

23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.

How does the Anti-Christ gain control over all the people of the world? More than likely it will be through programs and policies, such as HB2549, that keep us monitored and in fear. All one has to do is to briefly watch the news or search the internet to see that Arizona is not the only governmental entity that is slowly restricting the freedom of their people. It's happening all over our country and throughout the world via technology. Technology can be a good thing but very dangerous when used in the wrong way.

It's time to WAKE UP! and realize that as the government takes away our freedoms by monitoring the populace through police power and surveillance, they will be setting the stage for the Anti-Christ to takeover more easily every tribe, people, language and nation.

Examiner 04-03-2012: Obama birth certificate investigated by Maricopa County Sheriff


File this one under controversial investigation.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the self proclaimed "Toughest Sheriff in America" is cracking down on all lawbreakers and no one is safe not even the President. On March 1, Sheriff Joe held a news conference regarding his investigation into the validity of Obama's birth certificate and selective service registration card. His investigation alleged that they were likely both a forgery [Read full story on AZCentral.com].


A couple of weeks later on March 16, Sheriff Joe made headlines again with an appearance on the Roger Hedgecok Show. According to a World Net Daily report on March 21, Arpaio stated on air, "We got tons of other information that could be very shocking, too, but I’m sticking now with just the [forgery] investigation and possible criminal violations.” And if that statement wasn't enough to get you up in arms, Arpaio further stated this was "probably the biggest censorship blackout in the history of the United States," proving that he may not be the history buff we all thought he was.


The Bible prophecy connection

So how does this controversial investigation relate to Bible prophecy? No, President Obama is not the Anti-Christ, (although there have been those who have argued this belief with some interesting points). However, I do believe this controversy proves the point that when people are hurting and desperate for "hope and change" they are willing to listen and follow anyone who offers them "salvation" and tells them what they want to hear, regardless of whether they have the "proper" documentation to do the job.

The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 4:3-4:

3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Although this passage is speaking specifically about teachers within the church, it is a principle that can be applied in all arenas of life, even politics. Throughout history people have looked for and followed leaders who will tell them what they want to hear. It happened during Old Testament times when kings and commoners brought in false prophets because they liked their words of hope and encouragement; it happened in 2008 with the election of Barack Obama; and it will happen in the future when the Anti-Christ rises to world power because he offers what the people want, which will be peace in a world wracked by tribulation.

It's time to WAKE UP and stop looking for salvation from our human leaders, teachers, and politicians, and realize that true salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.

Examiner 03-16-2012: Apple's new ipad and what it says about the End Times

File this one under iCool but iAin't cheap!

Apple lovers from around the valley are flocking to their nearest Ipad dealer to buy the newest Ipad that was released today, March 16, 2012. It is being referred to as the "new Ipad" (because to call it the Ipad 3 would just be too predictable). This newest version of the Ipad has a sharper screen, faster processer, and better camera, but will weigh a bit more. Morever, the fine folks at Apple have decided to not just give us a better Ipad this time but they will give it to us at the same price as the Ipad 2 and will drop the pricetag on the Ipad 2. Click here for all the details.

So what does the new Ipad relate to Bible Prophecy? Does the Bible specifically prophesy that in the future people would be spending hundreds of dollars for small handheld computers? Well, although the Bible doesn't get that specific it does mention that technology will increase during in the End Times. The Old Testament Prophet, Daniel, was given many revelations as to what the end of time would entail. One of those revelations given by God to Daniel is found in Daniel 12:1-4

1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

There is no doubt that human knowledge and technology is increasing exponentially every year and in some cases within months and weeks. Apple is just one of many companies whose technology is continually increasing. And since we are on the topic of Apple, it is an interesting observation that the Apple logo depicts an image of a bitten apple. Does this remind you of an ancient story? How about the story of Adam and Eve, found in Genesis 2? The bitten apple represented the fall of man and according to the story of the Bible, it's this Fall of mankind that has brought evil and destruction into the world as we know it today. But God, through the Bible's many prophecies, has shown us that He will one day restore us and our world. It's time to WAKE UP! and realize that we have very little time left.

But if you would still like to get the new IPAD before that happens click here to find a list of Apple Stores in the Metro Phoenix Area.

Examiner 03-13-2012: Peyton Manning and his Titan decision


Peyton Manning to become a Titan?

File this one under big money and high hopes.

On March 7, 2012, Peyton Manning’s much anticipated departure from the Indianapolis Colts was announced and now the media frenzy has been kicked into high gear following what could be the biggest NFL story of the year - where will Peyton Manning restart his NFL career?

For Arizona fans, this weekend, March 11, was filled with high hopes as he met with the Arizona Cardinal coaching staff and Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt. At the time Arizona and the Denver Broncos were the only teams in contention to sign this NFL Superstar. However, as of March 13, there are now four other teams with high hopes of landing Manning: the Miami Dolphins, the Tennessee Titans, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Houston Texans.

There is no doubt the sports world is rife with speculation as to which team will sign Manning and much, if not all, of this speculation is based on NFL stats and/or insider knowledge. But is it possible that the team he chooses could have a Biblically prophetic connection? Perhaps, here's why.

Throughout the Bible God using allegorical imagery and situations to declare His Word to His people and let them know what the future holds or what the status of affairs are, so to speak. We see many of the Old Testament prophets, such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Hosea, who were given these allegorical images and situations to help the people understand. Even Jesus Himself, used parables and pictures (e.g. the fig tree) to warn the people of the future. And thus, if God never changes, it stands to reason that these allegorical images and situations can still be given to us today.

In Matthew 24:36-41, Jesus states:

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

What was it like in the days of Noah? Well we know from Genesis 6 and other supplemental sources such as the Book of Enoch that the land before the flood was inhabited by the Nephilim. These giants were progeny of the Fallen Angels and human women. There is little doubt that we are living in the End Times and right before the coming of the Son of Man, thus one could say we are living right now in the Days of Noah.

Now, connect this Days of Noah prophecy with the image of Peyton Manning if he chooses to sign with the Tennessee Titans.

We know Peyton's brother Eli Manning plays for the New York Giants (who happened to win the Superbowl in Indiana this year, Peyton's old stomping grounds). Giants = Nephilim. Moreover, in mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful deities who lived long ago and who of which some Bible teachers believe were actually Fallen Angels. Titans = Fallen Angels. So wouldn't it be an interesting prophetic image to have the two Manning brothers playing for the Giants and the Titans - two words that hearken back to the days of Noah before the flood?

Is God showing us that we are living in the Days of Noah? One thing is for sure though, no matter what team Peyton Manning chooses, the media frenzy has proven that football is a very important matter in our country. But Bible prophecy tells us there is something even more important than football - that is eternal life. It's time to WAKE UP and realize that time is short and we must make a decision as to what team we will play on for eternity.

UPDATE: On March 20, Peyton Manning was introduced as a Denver Bronco. Interestingly enough, the choice to play for Denver also holds Biblically prophetic imagery. Last season, "God's Quarterback", Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos, was the hot topic in the media. Anyone and everyone knew who Tebow was and what he stood (i.e. Christianity). Now with Manning headed to Denver the days of Tebow are numbered. In a similar way, the Bible prophesies that in the near future when the Anti-Christ takes control of the world (Revelation 13), the days of being an open confessing Christian will be numbered.

Examiner 03-7-2012: The Phoenix Lights and what it says about the End Times

File this one under mysterious but true.


On March 13, 1997, something mysterious happened in Phoenix that would ultimately change the beliefs of some residents forever as to whether we are alone in the universe. In the late evening between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm MST, multiple witnesses claimed to have seen mysterious glowing lights in a V-shaped pattern which seemed to hover in the night sky.

This phenomenon later become known as the Phoenix Lights and will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year. To this day there is still no official explanation for their origin. And although there are several "scientific" explanations as to their appearance, at least two prominent Arizonans believe that there is a more "supernatural" explanation.

Fife Symington, Arizona's governor at the time, went on record 10 years later, in an AP article featured on MSNBC, claiming that he believed the Lights were an "alien spacecraft" and stating that "you could just tell it was otherworldy."

Yet perhaps the most vocal advocate of the Phoenix Lights is author and lecturer Dr. Lynne Kitei, M.D. With just a quick glance of her website, it is evident that Dr. Kitei (who by the way, for all you trivia buffs out there, played Florence Arizona in the 1987 movie Raising Arizona starring Nicholas Cage) believes that these lights were some type of UFO. And just in case you don't believe her she has the book and documentary to prove it!


Based on the Governor and the good doctor's opinions, along with a host of other eye-witnesses, it is apparent the general consensus is that these Lights are connected somehow to the UFO phenomenon. Yet what does the Bible have to say about this event, if anything? Oddly enough, the Bible may be more in agreement with these viewpoints than you may think.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, the Apostle Paul writes to the Church of Thessolonica concerning the End Times:

9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Just what is this powerful delusion? Some Bible teachers believe this powerful delusion could come in the form of an "alien" visitation to our planet during a time of upheaval. However, they go on to teach that rather than true extraterrestrial aliens, these beings will be interdimensional Fallen Angels masquerading as aliens. They believe that this inevitable event will help our world transition from a multitude of people groups with different beliefs and cultures to a more unified One World Government system in which the Anti-Christ will be able to take control.

This theory may sound far out but when you realize that the whole UFO phenomenon can be linked to the Days of Noah, as recorded in the Bible (Genesis 6) and the Book of Enoch (chapters 7 and 8), as well as the UFO pehnomenon's link to the occult workings of Aleister Crowley, it becomes a little more down to earth and reasonable.

Are we being prepared for an inevitable disclosure event through our media and culture saturated with this Alien/UFO meme? It's time to WAKE UP!


**To celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Phoenix Lights, Scottsdale Harkins Shea will be showing the 2005 documentary “Phoenix Lights: We Are Not Alone” on March 11, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Click here for more info.


ADDITIONAL INFO:


If you have the time, here are some interesting quotes I have pulled about the Phoenix Lights from the following Source: Phoenix Lights Ten Years and Counting, UFO Magazine, March 2007 pp32-45
********

“It is also important not to freak people out about the compelling evidence confirming that we are not alone.
The bottom line is that we are being visited by something, and whoever has been visiting us here in Arizona—and around the globe at an increasing frequency—is doing it in a gentle way. Nobody was hurt.

“In ten years of hundreds if not thousands of people reporting their experiences on March 13, 1997, there has not been one report of harm, threat, or abduction connected with the mass sighting event. Quite the contrary. Witnesses were in awe, excited, even grateful to have had such an extraordinary experience. That’s pretty significant when you think about it.” pg 34

********

Rebecca Hardcastle, who has a long academic background in theology and philosophy and works as a hypnotherapist and life coach as well as counseling people who have had paranormal experiences. In 2005 Hardcastle taught a course in extraterrestrial reality at Scottsdale Community College...Hardcastle radiates enthusiasm about this tenth year anniversary of the Phoenix Lights. “I really believe in my heart,”
she said, “that Phoenix is a global, if not a universal, center of influence and portal of contact. This whole area always has been, is today, and always will be playing that role in terms of contact.” Hardcastle explained that we were in the Christian season of the Epiphany, which commemorates the time when the three Wise Men journeyed to find Christ by following a star. “That whole phenomenon,” she continued, “philosophically, religiously, spiritually—human beings want to follow stars. They want to follow anything that comes out of the skies. pg 34

********
The night of March 13 also brought it with other strange events, which Dilettoso said he finds very interesting.
For instance, he recalled reading an article in the July 1997 issue of Scientific American that reported bursts
of gamma radiation, a very unusual phenomenon, were detected by the Hubble Telescope that same March evening. The gamma radiation was eventually traced back to somewhere within our own solar system, and Dilettoso wonders if the extraterrestrials may travel as an energy field that gathers mass and momentum as they arrive here on earth. Also on March 13, 1997, then-president Bill Clinton fell down and broke his knee while visiting the home of golfer Greg Norman. “Clinton had to be hurried away in a helicopter,” Dilettoso said, “and kept at Bethesda Naval Hospital underground for over two days. There were press conferences showing diagrams of all the surgery that was going to have to be done and how long it was going to last and why he had to cancel his big meeting in Sarajevo with the prime minister of Russia. “A few days later he’s walking around and he’s okay. It never came up again.” Government secrecy theorists might be easily led to the conclusion that the broken knee was a cover story designed to hide the perceived need to get the
commander-in-chief to safety in the wake of the unnerving events happening out in the Southwest desert.
Another strange incident Dilettoso related involved an A-10 fighter pilot who had been scrambled to investigate the lights in the sky of unknown origin on March 13. A member of the pilot’s ground crew even called Peter Davenport at the National UFO Reporting Center, and he appeared to be very shaken by what was happening. Several months later, the aforementioned pilot was flying in formation with two other fighter jets between Phoenix and Flagstaff. “He broke formation and flew northeast towards Colorado,” Dilettoso said. “He disappeared from radar. No radio contact. He did not respond. “About two days later, his plane, in bits and pieces, was found slammed into a mountain. They interviewed his family, his crewmates, everyone who knew him, and they said, ‘Hey, this is a rock solid guy. We don’t have any idea what he was thinking when he did that.’ ” Still another March 13 event involved a satellite, manufactured in Chandler, Arizona, by the American Satellite Company. “The satellite went dark and missing,” Dilettoso said, “never to be found. The number of unusual things that happened that same night puts this in a breadbasket of paradox.” pg 36


********

“I’ve never said what they are,” Dr. Lynne said, “only that they are. It’s not just an ET possibility. There are interdimensional possibilities, intelligences, spirit-world possibilities, time-traveler possibilities. There could be a combination of all these possibilities. pg 36
________________________________

Terry Mansfield witnessed the life-changing events first-hand

Somewhere out there, Mansfield realized, there was life in the universe. And the presence of that object over her head—literally only hundreds of feet above her—meant that life in the universe had come to her. She and her guests and all of Phoenix, for that matter, had suddenly been put in touch with a great link of all creation. There were others out there, not just humans, but other species. And in that moment, Terri Mansfield had been touched by them. It was a feeling of genuine awe for the vast presence of life and her connection to it.
Mansfield reiterated that the feelings of peace and joy she experienced when she saw the object floating above had completely overwhelmed her. She said she had a sensation that not only was everything right with the world, but that she had made a connection with a larger presence. She said that the sighting reaffirmed her commitment to work for peace and to establish institutions that would seek peaceful resolutions to conflict. As part of her work since her sighting, Terri has campaigned for the establishment of a U.S. cabinet-level position called the Department of Peace, whose secretary would be in charge of seeking nonviolent resolutions to conflict. Since that night, Terri has not ceased to marvel at the opportunity she had to participate in the Phoenix encounters. As she continues her campaign for a Department of Peace, she recalls that it was the vision of the huge floating object in the Phoenix skies ten years ago that propelled her on her journey to work for peace around the world. pg 44-45

Examiner 03-01-2012: What the execution of Arizona's 29th death row inmate says about the End Times

Robert Henry Moorman

File this one under demented but true.

Ironically, on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, at the State Prison in Florence, Arizona executed its 29th death row inmate since 1992. (To see the full list of executed inmates click here.)

His name was Robert Henry Moorman, 63,and he was executed by lethal injection for stabbing and suffocating (and methodically dismembering) his 74-year old adoptive mother, Roberta Moorman back on January 13, 1984. And to make this story even more interesting (and ironic for that matter), he committed this vile act while on a 3-day “Compassionate Furlough” from the State Prison in Florence where he was serving 9 years to life for kidnapping and molesting his 8-year old neighbor girl in 1972. (To find out more of the sordid details read the entire article from AZcentral.com.)

This story is a perfect example of what the Apostle Paul spoke about concerning the End Times when he wrote 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

This story is an ultimate of example of where disobedience to parents can lead to -- committing a heinous act brutally without love or self-control, which could eventually land you on death row. So what could make a man kill his own mother, albeit an adoptive mother? Some may blame it on the years of sexual abuse he suffered at the hand of his mother, as reported in the article from AZcentral.com.

However, according to the Bible, no one is able to blame someone else for their sin. We are all responsible for our own sin (see Ezekiel 18:4). Further, one day at the end of time as we know it, we will all face judgment for each action and decision that we make according to Revelation 20:11.

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Unfortunately, this story is just the tip of the iceberg of when it comes to what the human soul is capable of doing. What kind of world are we living in? Well, according to the Bible, everything in our world is totally corrupted due to sin. As we quickly approach the end of time, it’s time for us to WAKE UP and make a decision as to what path we will choose before it’s too late.

Examiner 02-29-2012: Bestiality and the End Times

The Terrible Threesome


File this one under repulsive but true.

On Monday night Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a Chandler couple and self-proclaimed “swingers” Shane Walker, 38, and Sarah Dae Walker, 33, along with their friend Robert Aucker, 29, of Gilbert, charging them with an attempt to commit an act of bestiality with a dog. (Yes, surprisingly enough, even in our day and age of acceptance and tolerance, bestiality is still illegal in a few states with Arizona being one of them where it is considered a felony.)

The threesome was arrested in an undercover operation when they arrived at the location where they thought they were just moments away from fulfilling their dreams – literally.

According to an article on AZcentral.com., Aucker tried to set up the illicit rendezvous via Craigslist after being told by Sarah Walker that she had dreams of having sex with a dog. The two men planned to watch the act as it was performed. And because immorality sometimes enjoys company, they even invited the owner of the dog to watch (too late to realize that the owner was actually an undercover detective).

As disturbing as this story is, what is even more disconcerting (and relative to this discussion), is the fact that all three admitted to taking part in this perverse activity! Where is the embarrassment or shame? The answer is found in the Bible. Romans 1:18-32 states:

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.


We see that this behavior is nothing new and has been around since ancient times. All one has to do is go back to law given by God to Moses to realize that this was an issue millennia ago (See, Leviticus 18:23, 20:15-16). However, the Bible prophesies that we will see this kind of behavior occur more frequently and with more intensity during the Biblical End Times.

The Apostle Paul writes the following in 2 Timothy 3:1-5:

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.


Therefore, look for this behavior to continue to increase as we approach nearer to the day of the Lord. It’s time to WAKE UP!

12b. The Black Awakening (Vampires/Werewolves) and the New World Order


The Twilight Phenomenon

I remember seeing some ladies at work reading these books back in 2008; Four years later, I practically see everyone reading these books...and now watching the movies!  What is it that makes Twilight such a phenomenon in a similar fashion as the Harry Potter series? I think there is more than meets the eye in this series. I believe there is a spiritual component to this craze.  Here are some articles that help explain my thoughts on this further.

12a. The Black Awakening and the New World Order

The Black Awakening is a theory that describes what some believe to be a time in the near future where millions of people who have been "conditioned" by satanic mind control will be "awakened" (or rather their alternate personalities awakened) to create a chaos through killing sprees greater than this world has ever seen.  They believe that this time of chaos will set the stage for the New World Order and provide the opportunity for the Anti-Christ to rise to power.

With this particular viewpoint in mind, the following news reports seem to take on a whole different perspective. Could these horrific incidences be forerunners to the coming Black Awakening?

39 year-old Christopher Speight is being sought as a suspect in a horrific tragedy where 8 people were killed; the worst attack since the 2007 Virginia Tech Shooting.  Police believe that the shooting centered on a domestic dispute. Samuel Carter, Jr., vice chairman of the Appomattox County Board of Supervisors said that he was not aware of any trouble in the family and understood the victims involved in the shootings were good citizens.  My question is, how did the Board of Supervisors know anything about Mr. Speight?  Did he know Mr. Speight or have a connection with him somehow?  This story may possibly have more information than has been presented.

Witnesses in Del Norte County Superior Court...laid out a chaotic series of events surrounding a March [21st] killing in Klamath, weaving a twisted picture of a drug-filled night that led to the alleged torture and slaying of a 21-year-old Crescent City man. The accounts of the night are clouded by statements made by the four people in the house at the time of the incident or leading up to it, all of whom are believed to have taken psychedelic mushrooms. The victim and the suspect, according to the testimony, became preoccupied with the idea that a tidal wave was coming, that the end of the world was upon them and that a struggle between God and the devil was taking place....there was sufficient evidence to hold Jarrod Wyatt, 26, in the alleged murder of his friend Taylor Powell. Wyatt will also have to answer to charges of aggravated mayhem and torture. [Officer] Lee testified that he saw a man, later identified as Wyatt, standing near a body on a couch, naked and covered from head to toe in what appeared to be dried blood. Wyatt said, ”I killed him,” Lee said. Lee was able to cuff Wyatt without incident, and then he proceeded to look at the body on the couch. The body had had the majority of its face removed, and an 18-inch incision in its chest cavity. Lee said that he did not attempt first aid because he could see the man was dead.” At one point,” Lee said, “(Wyatt) asked if we were God, or if we were God coming to save him.” Lee said that Wyatt said he'd cut out Powell's tongue, and that he'd removed his heart. He also mentioned that there had been a “big fight” in the kitchen. Wyatt told him that when he'd looked at Powell's face he'd seen the devil, Lee said. [Wyatt] said that he'd cooked Powell's body parts in the wood stove at the Fizer Road residence. Wyatt told him that he had been tormented by spirits in the house, Fleshman said. Lee said that in a second interview shortly afterward, Wyatt told him that Powell had told him that the world was coming to an end. During an altercation, Wyatt told him, Powell had him in a chokehold from behind and that Wyatt felt he couldn't get up. The two had trained in mixed martial arts together, Lee said Wyatt told him. In continued rambling, Lee said that Wyatt told him that “Satan was in that dude.” Lee said that Wyatt told him he'd done some bad things, and that he'd cut Powell's heart out and burned it because he felt that Powell was still alive and he was trying to “stop the devil.”

A man who claimed he was seeking the "portal to hell" repeatedly stabbed two women early Friday after they noticed misplaced items in their backyard and opened the door to a shed where he was staked out, law enforcement officials said. A neighbor jumped a fence after hearing the women scream and hit their assailant, 25-year-old Morgan Mesz, in the head with a baseball bat, ending the attacks, authorities said. The two women were seriously hurt. Mesz was charged with three counts of attempted murder and was being held on $1.5 million bail. Authorities did not know if Mesz had an attorney, and a phone number for him could not be found.
The stabbings occurred at around 6 a.m. after the two women, ages 50 and 53, let their dog outside. They noticed contents of their shed strewn across the lawn, according to the Union County prosecutor's office. The shed door, though, was closed. Mesz, armed with a knife and hatchet, pounced on the pair after one woman opened the shed door, authorities said. Union Township Police Director Dan Zieser told the Star-Ledger of Newark that Mesz said he told them that he cleared out the shed as he sought the "portal to hell."

A 30-year-old man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for murdering a church music director who was found stabbed 92 times. Tommy Montgomery pleaded guilty, but mentally ill to murder on Monday. According to doctors, Montgomery suffered from depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Montgomery will serve the full sentence in the South Carolina Department of Corrections and will receive psychiatric treatment while in prison. According to Assistant Solicitors Burns Wetmore and Spencer Compton who prosecuted the case, the victim, Brandon Jamison, was the music director at the church that Montgomery attended. In the summer of 2009, Montgomery needed a place to stay, and Jamison allowed Montgomery to live in his apartment.

An autopsy revealed that Jamison was stabbed 92 times which included several defensive wounds to the hands and 26 wounds to the back. According to investigators, after the stabbing, Montgomery stole Jamison's vehicle and fled the scene. Montgomery turned himself in at the North Charleston Police Department the next morning and confessed to killing Jamison...

The Norwegian man charged Saturday with a pair of attacks in Oslo that killed at least 92 people left behind a detailed manifesto outlining his preparations and calling for a Christian war to defend Europe against the threat of Muslim domination, according to Norwegian and American officials familiar with the investigation.
As stunned Norwegians grappled with the deadliest attack in the country since World War II, a portrait began to emerge of the suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, 32. The police identified him as a right-wing fundamentalist Christian, while acquaintances described him as a gun-loving Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threats of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration.
“We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised news conference. “What we know is that he is right wing and a Christian fundamentalist.”
In the 1,500-page manifesto, posted on the Web hours before the attacks, Mr. Breivik recorded a day-by-day diary of months of planning for the attacks, and claimed to be part of a small group that intended to “seize political and military control of Western European countries and implement a cultural conservative political agenda.”
He predicted a conflagration that would kill or injure more than a million people, adding, “The time for dialogue is over. We gave peace a chance. The time for armed resistance has come.”
The manifesto was signed Andrew Berwick, an Anglicized version of his name. A former American government official briefed on the case said investigators believed the manifesto was Mr. Breivik’s work.
The manifesto, entitled “2083: A European Declaration of Independence,” equates liberalism and multiculturalism with “cultural Marxism,” which the document says is destroying European Christian civilization.
The document also describes a secret meeting in London in April 2002 to reconstitute the Knights Templar, a Crusader military order. It says the meeting was attended by nine representatives of eight European countries, evidently including Mr. Breivik, with an additional three members unable to attend, including a “European-American.”
The document does not name the attendees or say whether they were aware of Mr. Breivik’s planned attacks, though investigators presumably will now try to determine if the people exist and what their connection is to Mr. Breivik.
Thomas Hegghammer, a terrorism specialist at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, said the manifesto bears an eerie resemblance to those of Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders, though from a Christian rather than a Muslim point of view. Like Mr. Breivik’s manuscript, the major Qaeda declarations have detailed accounts of the Crusades, a pronounced sense of historical grievance and calls for apocalyptic warfare to defeat the religious and cultural enemy.
“It seems to be an attempt to mirror Al Qaeda, exactly in reverse,” Mr. Hegghammer said.

Investigators looking into the shooting rampage at a Carson City, Nev., IHOP restaurant today that left four dead, including the shooter, and eight wounded are trying to determine whether the man targeted a group of National Guard personnel in the restaurant, police said. Of the 12 people shot in the rampage, five were National Guard members who were sitting together, all in uniform, in the back of the restaurant. Two of the service members -- a man and a woman -- died, police said. Because of where the Guard members were sitting and the fact they were in uniform, investigators say it appears the shooter -- Eduardo Sencion, 33, a Carson City resident who worked in nearby Tahoe and had no criminal history -- could have targeted them, Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said this evening....Sencion allegedly walked into the restaurant shortly before 9 a.m. brandishing an AK47 and started shooting, then ended it by shooting himself in the head, police said. He was taken to a hospital where he died three hours later.

He told WSVN: 'The guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth and I told him to get off. But the guy just kept eating the other guy away, like ripping his skin. 'A police officer came over, told him several times to get off then climbed over the divider and got in front of him and said, "Get off!" But the guy just stood his head up like that with a piece of flesh in his mouth and growled.' Mr Vega said Eugene continued to eat his victim's face so he was shot repeatedly. Police have said they believe Eugene was high on a potent form of LSD at the time.

Police said they got a call at 10 p.m. Sunday from someone saying Wayne Carter, 43, had a knife and was threatening to hurt himself. When police officers arrived at the Clay Street home, they kicked in a door to his room, which had been blocked with furniture, said Lt. John Heinemann. Carter was in the corner of the room with a knife in his hand, and he stood up, he yelled at police while stabbing himself all over his body. Officers noticed that his intestines were protruding from a wound in his abdomen, Heinemann said. Carter allegedly threw some of his skin and intestines at officers as they tried to enter the room, Heinemann said. The officers ordered him to drop the 12-inch kitchen knife, but he didn’t. Carter is accused of swinging the knife at officers, police said. The officers sprayed two cans of pepper spray at the man without any effect. The officers retreated and called the Bergen County SWAT Team, which helped subdue Carter so he could be taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
