Politics Religion Truth.com: End Times

As a result, many will cry out for a strong-man to put everything back to where it is "supposed to be". The right will want this as much as the left and may even call for it sooner in relation to the other events. Amid the turmoil and tribulation, one will rise up and call for peace and security. He will right the wrongs and bring safety and security to an insecure world. He will say and he will do all the things necessary to bring order back into our broken world. He will be a "savior". He is the Antichrist.

Chernobyl Disaster - What About Today?

Excellent documentary about Chernobyl and the heroic efforts to fix the problem. What few of us today realize is that a second explosion was imminent that would dwarf the first. This second explosion could have wiped out half of Europe. There was also the possibility that the leak would seep into the vast aquifer underneath the reactor and contaminate the country's entire drinking supply.

This crisis took place in a time of peace. Resources were able to be used to quash the problem before even more lives were lost. However what would happen in a time of war when these reactors would be specifically targeted? We will see such a time. There will be economic and civil collapse which will lead to war and devastating consequences such as Chernobyl and worse.

Are Smart Meters Bad?

Should we resist the installation of smart meters? Not so sure. Big government monitoring our every movement is upon us. Judge for yourselves.

They Must Take Our Guns

Recently, the Vice President said the administration could act unilaterally bypassing congress to enact some sort of gun controls. This is not inconsistent with the past actions by this President. Acting by fiat, they have demonstrated they will not enforce immigration statutes in Arizona. Acting by fiat, they have appointed Czars of every stripe to oversee vast parts of our government. Make no mistake. This must take place. The right of the people must decrease while the power of the government must increase. Much like the recent election, this country must go they way it is going. You see, we are entering what the Bible describes as "end times".

This period will be marked by more control of an ever-growing government, a world-government. This world government will control arms, finances, your very comings and goings. PRT has shown this time and again in the report of tracking mechanisms and the digitizing of the currency. It is all predicted. Consequently, our guns must go. First they will register them, they will pinpoint their locations (which is easily done), and then they will come for them. The people must be disarmed and vulnerable. However our hope is in the Lord. He will prevail. Let not your hearts be troubled.

Sweden Going Cashless?

Looks like Sweden may be one of the first countries to go paperless where money is concerned. We have spoken about this many times at PRT. This is inevitable. The only question is when, not if we will all go the way of electronic debit and credit cards. The only problem is not debit and credit cards, however. The problem is when this goes beyond plastic and is made mandatory. Remember, these events are foretold clearly in the bible. Yes. That old book that collects dust is relevant today as it always has been. Perhaps it is time to dust it off and take a second look.

Here's the latest

Plastic vs. Paper? Not Grocery Bags, Money

NYTimes.com: "WASHINGTON — The number of dollar bills rolling off the great government presses here and in Fort Worth fell to a modern low in the last fiscal year. Production of $5 bills also dropped to the lowest level in 30 years. And for the first time in that period, the Treasury Department did not print any $10 bills."

Isn't it inevitable that paper money will just plain go away? Isn't it a bother to sort through the gnawed up wad of torn pieces of green paper? It is just so twentieth century. Most of our bills can be paid electronically. Most of the transactions we have are electronic. How many employers are forcing their employees to have direct deposit? The tide is too great to resist. There will come a day, and it looks to be soon, where electronic will be the only system we have.

The benefits are many, but one that is plain is an increase in revenues to the government. There are many "under the table" or black market transactions that do not get recorded or taxed by the government. Illegal activities are usually done through non-traceable paper money. One of the few steps lacking are person-to-person transactions and that is coming soon too.

However, this trend will not end well. It will one day culminate in the rise of a dictator that will control the population through these means. Just as we can predict the weather by clouds that accumulate on the horizon, so too we can predict what is coming by looking at the political, economic, and religious horizon. Too many are distracted to pay attention and only think it is part of the new normal, but it is not normal at all.

Iranian President to Meet Russian, Chinese Presidents

Jerusalem Post: Ahmadinejad launches brutal attack on Israel at Asian security conference, saying Zionism is one of history's worst ills, also slams US, West for slavery, colonialization, World Wars, use of nuclear weapons.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Are we in the Last Days? If you mean does the Antichrist reign and the sky is falling, then no. If you mean are we in a time that is very close to the tribulations revealed in the Bible, then yes. Certainly. Wars and Rumors of Wars have been around since the beginning of time. What makes this different are the signs that are more apparent today than at any other time in the past. May we be wrong. Yes. Many generations have thought they were in the Last Days. One generation will be correct. Jesus rebuked the leaders of His time on earth for not knowing the time in which they lived. He would do the same for us.

Good summary video of what happening in (the prelude to) these "Last Days".

Police Use Data Extraction Devices (DED) & Tracking Features of Smart Phones

Shown below are two articles regarding the use by law enforcement of the tracking features of your cell phone. One shows how they may see where you have been over an amount of time. The second article is even more concerning. According an ACLU news release, "several years ago, (Michigan State Police) acquired portable devices that have the potential to quickly download data from cell phones without the owner of the cellphone knowing."

Yes. We live in a world where our privacy is limited. The younger generation gives it up willingly. The older generation gives it up without even knowing it. However, the facts are clear and the pattern is clear. Authorities, whoever they may be in the future good or evil, will have the ability to track and monitor us without our knowledge. Just why do you think the President met with Google, Intel, and Apple? How about the features on phones that we think we may like including Google's Near Field Communication Plan, and Visa's march toward person to person payments? Are they beneficial in the long run? This site has reported how technology could turn cell phones into wallets. These are not isolated incidences without any connection. The pieces are falling into place. While our current governments may have nothing nefarious in mind, the track is being laid to our own Auschwitz. Look here and see how this network of technology will soon be used against us by a sole world leader. He will use it for control. He will use it to our detriment. Wake up! Look around you. Do not fall asleep to the drumbeat of normalcy. These things are not normal. They only appear to be normal to us because they are slowly happening around us and we adapt. Now is not the time for sleep, but to be active and prepare.

How police have obtained iPhone, iPad tracking logs | Privacy Inc. - CNET News: "Law enforcement agencies have known since at least last year that an iPhone or iPad surreptitiously records its owner's approximate location, and have used that geolocation data to aid criminal investigations.

State police aims to clarify data extraction device use: Michigan State Police says a claim by the American Civil Liberties Union that the agency has devices that can quickly download data from cell phones without the knowledge of the owner is untrue, and officials with Petoskey post say they aim to eliminate any such misconceptions.

Islam's Savior is Christianity's AntiChrist

Both Christianity and Islam are waiting for someone big to arrive on the world scene. However, they see the same person from two different perspectives. While Iran's Ahmadinejad and others like him would like to speed up the day in which he arrives, the world will have to deal with the fallout, literally and figuratively, of having the Antichrist rule the world for a time.

Videos in the Islamic world are circulating in preparation of the 12th Imam or Mahdi. However, this same person will actually be the Antichrist as described in the Bible.

Google's NFC plan: data sharing, targeted ads, and discounts

Considering this news alert along with Visa's new plan to enable person-to-person payments and how cell phones can now make payments at points of sale, its hard to deny that there is a pattern here. See topic on End Times for more info. Maybe its time to wake up to what is going on around us.

Google's NFC plan: data sharing, targeted ads, and discounts: "Google hopes to give retailers access to more in-depth customer data as part of its push to bring Near Field Communications (NFC) into the mainstream. The plan is apparently part of Google's underground NFC tests being carried out in New York and San Francisco. Google's testing is still said to be in its early stages, but it may roll out NFC to the public later in 2011.

NFC is an evolution of the RFID technology employed in 'contact-less' payment systems such as MasterCard PayPass and Visa payWave, and is mostly known in the US as a means of enabling wireless payments at retail stores. (Check out our NFC technology primer for more details on how it works.) That's not all NFC can be used for, though—it can also keep track of gift card and ticketing balances, as well as personal information and consumer preferences."

Person to Person Payments by Visa - Inching Closer to Mark of the Beast?

The Associated Press has reported that Visa will now offer the ability of card holders to not just buy goods and services from merchants, but to make payments to other consumers. We have long been able to use ATMs and credit cards. The missing "cog" has been how to make these payments to others individuals. Anyone can now accept credit card payments through services like squareup.com and with the new Visa options, person to person transfers do not seem to be a problem either. Cell phones have also become tools for payments.

But why stop with payments with your cell phone? Why be bothered with the myriad of cards in your wallet? The next step is to embed a Near Field Communication (NFC) or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) computer chip in your hand. It would be much more convenient and it appears the technology is here to do it. Just keep watching. Mark of the Beast? May be closer than you think.

Nuclear Meltdown in Japan and the Next World War

There was a video game that was popular several years ago called Red Alert. There were many variants of the game, but the basic plot or strategy was to obtain resources and build an army to defeat your enemy. What struck me about that game was when your opponent was able to build up enough resources to build a nuclear bomb, you would be warned that you had 5 minutes until it was fully operational.

That was when your strategy had to change. If your opponent was allowed to use the bomb, it would be complete devastation resulting in your ultimate destruction. Consequently, you now had to destroy the nuclear platform of your opponent at all costs. You would sacrifice anything and everything in order to accomplish this. If you had tanks and airplanes, you would use them both and more in order to accomplish your goal of survival. Inevitably, most would be destroyed in the supreme sacrifice. However, sometimes the mission itself would be successful and your home base would be spared from nuclear annihilation. Many had to pay with their lives, but home was still there.

A similar strategy was used when your opponent built nuclear power plants around their home base. A well-guided flight of war planes could take the power plant out with a couple of strikes. The resulting explosion (meltdown) would decimate large swaths of land, buildings, equipment and people. One had to be careful in the placing of nuclear power plants. Disaster may be the result.

In the real world prior to 1945, there were no nuclear power plants. There were no nuclear anything. Earthquakes, tornadoes, ocean surges, and hurricanes came and devastated much in their wake. Lives and countless property were lost. However it is different today. Many countries around the globe have nuclear power plants and even nuclear weapons facilities. What happens when one of these natural disasters strikes one of these sensitive areas? They need to be constantly maintained or the worst could happen. But how do your prepare for an earthquake or a tornado?

But let's take it a step further. What happens when one of these countries goes to war. War has happened for millennia. Warring sides target the most vulnerable areas. What could be more tempting than a nuclear power plant that would not only reduce their ability to produce weapons or even power, but would also send radio-active carnage all across the landscape of the enemy. Your opponent in the video game Red Alert knows it and so too do our enemies. If Japan can hardly keep their nuclear reactor from a meltdown, how could any country stop such a meltdown if those plants are targeted for destruction.

Why did it come to this? In our video game example when your opponent begins producing their nuclear weapon, you do anything to take it out or it will be certain destruction for you and all those you cybernetically love. Why did not the United States take action when the Russians began their program? Or how about the Chinese, or the Indians or Pakistanis? What about today with Iran? The list goes on and on. And now we are set for probable nuclear devastation. War is inevitable and enemies will do what they must to survive. If you are not in the middle of it, you will certainly be effected by the fallout - literally.

Want to see what it will be like? Take a look.

(Rev 6:15-16) And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, {16} and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!"

(Rev 8:6-8) So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. {7} The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. {8} Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

(Zec 14:12) And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

US President meets with Google, Apple and Intel-One Step Closer to the End

Recently, the President of the United States met with leaders from Google, Apple and Intel. The details of what transpired during this meeting are not important. What is important is to question why such a meeting would take place at all. Does the President meet with leaders from General Motors? Oh yes, the President owns General Motors. That aside, the precedent of the President meeting with these particular leaders is somewhat disconcerting.

Taken together, these three companies control volumes of information on most of the people around the globe. Have you ever "googled" something? Were you sick and needed something to make you feel better? How about planning a vacation or wanting to buy a new television? These are all very innocuous activities. However if you start compiling the information like Google does, it can map out a person's entire life; your likes, dislikes, ailments, and many secrets you would not want to tell your closest friend.

So that's Google, but Apple and Intel have a part to play as well. Apple makes all the "sexy" equipment we like to use to listen to music and to call our friends. They control the equipment side and the likability part. Intel on the other hand is the leader in computer chip technology. They are making ever smaller and more powerful computer chips to go into everything we use including computers and telephones.

Put these three companies together and you no longer need anything like the US Patriot Act to be able to track and maintain information on almost everyone around the world. Why is this bad? Well if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't mind, right? In most cases that may be true, but this information, this power that is becoming more and more ubiquitous, will not be used for good purposes in the future. Chips will be used to track our movements, unlock our doors, and buy our goods. Oh. That is already happening. Let's start again. Chips will be embedded in us that will track our movements, unlock our doors, and buy our goods. Chips made by Intel or a company like them. Information will be gathered by Google or a company or government like them. People will buy into it because it is convenient and the products are sexy because they are made from Apple or a company like them.

Bottom line: Even if your government does not accumulate information and track you now, companies are already laying the groundwork, so they don't have to. All this government needs to do is call a meeting with the likes of Google, Apple, and Intel and it is all theirs for the taking.

UFO Drops Baby Off at Temple Mount

There have been separate reports lately that a UFO has landed or flown around the temple mount. See video below:

A few days later, there have also been reports that an abandoned baby has been dropped off at the Temple Mount.

Some have put these two events together to say that the UFO has dropped off the baby and that perhaps that baby could be the baby Jesus or, if the UFO was a hoax, it could be the anitchrist.

Bottom line: The video was some sort of a hoax. There was no UFO's flying around the dome of the rock. UFOs may have some demonic aspects to them, but there are no little green men flying around in space saucers. Sorry. That would be fun, but its not going to happen. Its about physics and that speed of light thing that gets in the way. Other planets are just too far away. Thank you, Einstein.

As for dropping off the baby Jesus or the antichrist? Not going to happen that way. Jesus will come back and everyone will know it. There will be no question. He will come back in power and might and not in the form of a baby.

There are signs of the end times, but these are not it. Keep waiting, but keep your senses about you.

Update: There were apparently four videos of this "event". However, a 5th video has now surfaced:

Middle East Crisis and the West's Decline

In this video, Glenn Beck talks to Joel Rosenberg about the [end] times we are possibly living in. Iran's use of nuclear weapons could do in "six" minutes what it took Nazi Germany years to do. Countries need to take this threat more seriously.

The events in the Middle East may take us closer to the events of Revelation in the Bible. Nobody knows. There have certainly been wars and rumors of war in the Middle East for centuries now. The difference today from that of the last few decades is the wide-spread outbreak of chaos. This chaos could spread to other counties. With the United States and Western Countries trying to come to terms with mounting debt and threats of a rising superpower in the form of China, the Middle East chaos could have a deleterious effect on any economic recovery in those countries.

Alongside economic difficulties, many could site moral and societal issues that will compound the problems of the West. Homosexuality, licentious behavior at all age levels, murders and wide-spread violence; the chaos seems to be the new norm in the West. May a "strong man" come in to make things right? How could we possibly turn our society around and right this ship? The electorate is of no opinion to turn it around. The Republican landslide of recent days focused more on taxes and economics. Perhaps it will stave off the inevitable decline, but the decline appears to be coming faster than we would like to admit. We continue to incur massive amounts of debt on a national, state, municipal and personal level with no end in site. Something must be done or the system will implode and the radicals in the Middle East and those in China will finally be able to take advantage of our weakness.

New World Order - George Soros Style-Video

George Soros talks about a New World Order and the needed decline of the United States of America. He has taken down economies before and he will try it again. At his age, it looks as though he is trying to go for the biggest one out there, the USA, before his time is up. "An orderly decline of the dollar is actually desirable". He is attempting to move the world away from using the dollar as the sole reserve currency.

Video is below:

"China will be the engine and the US will be dragging along." Now a weaker dollar does have some benefits. However a total restructure of the world's economy is not something that would be good for anyone except for perhaps the Chinese.

Rapture? Not happening. Here’s proof!

First, what is the rapture? According to Dr. Jack Van Impe, long-time preacher of End Times prophetic teaching, “It is the literal, visible bodily coming of Jesus Christ to call out of this world, literally and bodily, every born-again believer--first the dead, then the living.” Revelation Revealed, page 54. He even quotes verses that I will use in my proof: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and 17, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

However, this is not a proof against the teaching of Jack Van Impe although his teaching has been questionable over the last several decades. This will prove the rapture, as taught by those like Dr. Van Impe, is not going to happen - at least not the way they describe. Remember, the rapture is the taking out of this world the literal body of believers.

First part of the proof: Revelation 20:4b,5 “Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.” (emphasis added)

Second part of the proof: As you can see, the “first resurrection” are the martyrs who are beheaded during the reign of the Anti-Christ. Now see verse 5 above, “the rest of the dead did not live again” until another thousand years; the remaining dead did not get raised for 1,000 years! Now see 1 Thessalonians 4:15: “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.” (emphasis added) Those who are alive, believers walking and talking on Earth (perhaps waiting for a rapture), will not be resurrected before the dead. Remember the first to go are the martyrs. The rest of the dead will not go for at least 1,000 years! Then those that are alive at that time, after the 1,000 years, will be “raptured”. Proof that this relatively new teaching is false.
