THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM'S INTENTIONS

2010-04-10T19:36:00.009+01:00

For some time we have become used to the constant debates regarding the place of Islam in Western society. Somewhere we seem to have added to this debate the politically correct nonsense of the fully inclusive society, that is except for Bible believing Christianity... not the lily-livered liberal variety that has compromised Gospel Truth for a quiet life, such yellow-bellied faith fits in nicely with the New World Order. In all this we are being sold the lie of 'moderate Islam' and radical Islam, When in fact there is no such thing as moderate Islam. As a political and social movement Islam is by its own definition and nature radical. The true intentions of Islam are clearly stated in the Koran:
* slay the unbeliever...
* make war on the infidels in your neighbourhood...
* kill the Jews and the Christians...
* Muslims must not take infidels as friends...
These are hardly the words of a moderate/liberal faith/movement. The intention of Islam is wholly deceitful, arrogant, and violent. But above all this it is imperialistic in a way that makes the old British Empire look like child's play. You don't believe me? Watch this:

and this,

and this straight from the horses mouth...

Go look for yourself...there are many such videos and websites that will tell you the same story. The Muslim intention is nothing other than a Muslim world...even if it means lying and yes...even bloodshed.

ETERNAL HEALTH WARNING !!

2010-03-10T21:37:00.003Z

Here is a warning of a new threat to the Eternal Welfare of anyone watching Revelation/Genesis TV. This ministry had no problem previously in airing ministry by Justin Peters, but all of a sudden they have launched an attack on Justin for naming and shaming Word of Faith ministries for their obvious errors. The Lord calls us not to be shy in pointing out error and pointing out danger. Is this anything to do with certain Word of Faith shows being accepted for their station? Either way Justin Peters is a sound man of God with a humble heart; he has no problem telling the truth to your face regarding the Biblical errors of Benny Hinn or any of his pals. I have no qualms then in publically warning you to be careful with Revelation/Genesis TV...better still don't watch them at all or support them at all! We cannot risk being led to Hell by false worldly teaching. It is my sincere prayer that Revelation TV management will hear the Lord in their hearts and repent of this error.

THE TREASURE OF THE HOLY BIBLE

2010-03-04T19:33:00.004Z

I often find myself in awe of The Word of God. Yaweh is Good...often at a low point in our lives we 'stumble' upon some great truth/blessing in our Bible. When in fact the truth is He watches over us and leads us in the paths of righteousness - to His very Words. The more I study the Bible the more I am humbled by the sheer accuracy of it historically and the Divine Patience and Compassion of a Holy God to rebellious humanity. Further to this train of thought I was extremely blessed by the following post by Bob Mitchell of Shofar Ministries:

THE RELIABILITY OF THE BIBLE
from SHOFAR MINISTRIES by Bob Mitchell
I was chatting to my niece a few days ago over a coffee and she came up with the usual "Well come on uncle Bob, the bible has been translated so many times who knows what the originals were like? Today's bible might be totally diferent from the one they read 2,000 years ago."

Well in the nicest way that was a red rag to a bull for me.

I challenged her assumption by relating to her the histroy of the bible reliability as an ancient document.

For instance, we read Homer (not Simpson) and Caesar's wars and treat them as history yet question the bible's historical accuracy and trustworthiness.

The other ancient documents we posess in museums and academies around the world are almost laughable when put alongside the bible texts.

Author................... Written .................Earliest Copy ..........Time Span .....Number of Ancient Copies
Pliny ..................A.D. 61-113 .................850 A.D. .................750 yrs........................ 7

Caesar ..............100- 44 B.C. ................900 A.D. ................1,000 yrs. .................10

Plato................ 427-347 B.C. ................900 A. D. ................1,200 yrs. ....................7

Aristolte......... 384-322 B.C. ...............1100 A. D. ...............1,400 yrs. ...................37
..
Sophocles .......496-406 B.C. ..............1000 A.D. ................1,400 yrs. ..................193

Euripedes .......480-406 B.C. .............1100 A.D. ................1,500 yrs. ......................9

N Test. ..............48 A. D.(Mark).........130 A.D. (N.T.) .............80 yrs. .............24,630

What about the Old Testament?
An amazing event occurred in 1947 with the beginning of the discovery of 931 ancient documents found in caves near the town of Qumran on the shores of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea Scrolls:
Prove the OT Accurate
The manuscripts of the Dead Sea Scrolls date to as old as 400 BC. The OT manuscripts found are 900 to 1100 years older than the most reliable available Hebrew OT manuscripts.

When the Scrolls are compared to the newer manuscripts, they prove to be amazingly accurate, nearly identical. The few differences were mostly slips of the pen, spelling changes or word substitutions (over vs. above e.g.). The extreme accuracy of the newer documents puts to death the questions of the OT reliability based on time.

The Dead Sea Scrolls contained 223 OT manuscripts! Those 223 manuscripts include 38 of the 39 books of the OT! The one book missing is Esther, but other documents there refer to the story, so we know it was part of their culture.

Archaeology and the Old Testament

In the excavations in Jerusalem's "City of David" site archaeologists discovered two seals with the names of two ministers who comnspired to kill the prophet Jeremiah.

The seal impression, or bulla, with the name Gedalyahu ben Pashur, who served as minister to King Zedekiah (597-586 BCE) according to the Book of Jeremiah, was found completely intact just meters away from a separate seal impression of another of Zedekia's ministers, Yehukual ben Shelemyahu, which was unearthed three years ago.

Both ministers are mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 38 1-4) along with two other ministers when they came to King Zedekiah demanding the death of the prophet Jeremiah for preaching to the besieged city to surrender.

How about Queen Jezebel? Archaeologists have discovered her ring with her seal upon it.

I know I have said this before, but it is important! If you are reading this and claim the Bible to be inaccurate, I challenge you to prove it! Does your stance depend on second hand or third hand knowledge? For goodness sake do your own research...read the Bible with an open mind and seek the Truth for yourself. Your life and eternal destiny depend on it. Finally, if you didn't watch the video recommended by Bob in his blog, here it is:

TRACT NO.2

2010-01-25T20:12:00.003Z

The following tract was written for a brother in the US as a posthumous testimony of his late father-in-law. Herb's story is the same as many who we meet in society, except for the fact that many miss their chance of salvation. Is this you? Read Herb's story and learn from it. Or is this someone you know; why not pass it on to them! This also is available as a tri-fold pdf tract on request for free reproduction from lighthousetracts@googlemail.com

HERB'S SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS

At over six foot and 380Ibs Herb couldn’t be overlooked by anyone. He was determined to get what he wanted out of life; he often said “the world aint gonna give you nothing except a hard time so you have to take it by the throat and make it deliver!” Herb had a good head for business; and if anyone knew how to make a few dollars – it was Herb! In short, Herb was on a mission to secure happiness in life.

Herbs’ story begins in South East Kentucky, where he was born and raised. After the later part of the depression he served in the Korean War as a tank commander. After military service Herb returned home to Kentucky and found employment as a coal miner. Herb decided to get into the haulage side of the coal industry, so he bought the first of many trucks. By the 1970s with hard work and determination Herb owned a fleet of thirty-seven trucks, and a major share in a big mining company covering four states. In ten years Herb had went from having little to being a millionaire. In 1980 Herb was satisfied – he had made life deliver, it was time to retire. Initially retirement was good to Herb – he was a happy man! But things started to go wrong in 1985 with a visit from the IRS. They seized hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes. Herb always enjoyed a gamble, but really took to it big time in the 1980s. He would often leave home with only $10 and return days later with thousands of dollars: but it worked in the opposite direction too. Even though he was married with two daughters, he also liked the ladies. Poker and women became an expensive lifestyle, which needed funding. Herb started selling drugs to try and keep the finances flowing. To Herb it was just a way of making a profit, regardless of who it hurt. To those who knew him, Herb was a caring man who was always willing to help a soul in need.

In 1996 Herb started to behave strangely; forgetting where he put things or not recognising his surroundings while driving well-known roads. Eventually in 1998, Herb was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease. This was a big blow to Herb, who had always been an independent man. His son-in-law, Allen, shared his faith in Jesus with Herb many times which he always rejected:

“I know I am going to hell, so I’m going to

live my life the way I want to live it while I

am here!”

Six weeks after his diagnoses things had progressed so far he couldn’t even feed himself. By this stage most of his ‘friends’ had abandoned Herb. The once powerful millionaire that had controlled a business employing many men was a shadow of his former self. He was now dependant on his own family. A month before his death Herb received a visit from a true friend, a man called Harry. It was a memorable meeting Herb just nodded or shook his head for most things. Harry shared his concern for his dear friend, he proceeded to explain how much God loved him regardless of how he had led his life . Herb listened as Harry shared how Jesus Christ paid the penalty of his sin on the cross. Finally, Harry asked Herb if he would like to receive Jesus, Herb just nodded . After a prayer Harry asked Herb if Jesus had entered his heart – the answer was already rolling down the cheeks of the hard man, as he wept! After that day Herb often sat on his porch gazing at the church at the end of the road. Three weeks later Herb passed from this life, and went to be with His Lord and saviour in Heaven. At last Herb had found true Happiness!

The last word goes to Allen, Herbs’ son-in-law:

“If you read this and you are not sure that you are saved, let me tell you…you can be! Just let go of the world and take the hand of Jesus. Ask Jesus to come into your life and set you free from the bondage of this world. Ask Him to forgive your sins and wash you as white as snow, and my friend…He will.”

TRACTS

2010-01-16T15:00:00.002Z

I have always had a heart for sharing the gospel; after all someone took the time to share it with me once...and it saved my life. I particularly love using tracts, even if it is just to leave on a bus or put inside a returning library book. I have been blessed with the ability to write and I have produced some tracts of my own. I had stopped doing this but, the Lord reminded me of my duty to share His Good News. I have started writing tracts again. I will occasionally reproduce them on this blog for folks to read. If you feel you could use them feel free to do so. I have them formatted to a pdf trifold which I can email to you free of charge. I have said to a brother recently that i don't want money (or fame!) for these tracts - they are God's. My reward will be seen at a later date - hallelujah!

YOUR

DECISION?

This is the story of two old friends – one a doctor, the other a barber. Bob, the doctor went for his regular trim from Dave. They had went to school together and grew-up in the same town. Dave was the picture of an old barber, in his blue jacket and trademark cigarette hanging from his mouth. It was no surprise that the friends caught up and exchanged news on these visits,

“what you been up to recently?” Dave asked as he clipped and combed.

“I've just returned from Africa where I spent two weeks in a small clinic.”

“That would open your eyes Bob...all that poverty and stuff,” answered Dave shaping around an ear.

“You better believe it...it makes you thankful for our health service,” Bobs' eyes met Dave's in the mirror.”

“Here mate,” Bob pointed to Dave's lip,

“how long you had that spot on your lip?”

“About a month,” Dave rubbed the red sore.

“You should see your doctor with that.” said Bob. Dave smiled and smiled,

“I'll make an appointment for next week then.”

A few months pass by before Bobs' next appointment with Dave at the same place. In the chit-chat about work and weather Bob notices the sore on Dave's lip again,

“Did you go to your doctor yet about that lip?” he asked.

Dave just grinned, “Yeh...never got round to that yet, you think I should bother him with it still?”

Bob looked sternly at him,

“Make that appointment Dave!”

Another few months pass before the next meeting of the two friends when the sore lip was more obvious than before to Bob.

“Dave, what has your doctor said about your lip?”

“I haven't been yet Bob,” Dave confessed looking guiltily at his friend.

“make an appointment TODAY!” Bob ordered, this shook Dave to the core.

Months later Bob walked into the barbers, he was admiring the new décor when a young man came from the back room.

“Hi there, is Dave around?” asked Bob.

The young man smiled and pointed to a new sign Bob had missed which read:

“UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT”

The smile fell from Bobs' face as he heard that Dave had died of cancer two weeks earlier. He suddenly did not feel the need for a hair cut that day.

That afternoon Bob had a business lunch with another doctor. Having known Bob for some time, his colleague knew something was wrong with Bob,

“Do you want to tell me about what's troubling you Bob?”

Bob was glad of the chance to share his pain with someone he trusted – he told the whole story while his colleague listened.

“What upsets me most,” Bob paused, “is that I warned him three times to see his doctor...now he's dead because he didn't listen.” Bob looked forlornly into his drink but was shaken by his colleagues first words after the story,

“Bob that is human nature...I've shared my faith in Christ with you many times over the years, have you ever heard or acted on my warnings about your eternal health?” Bob looked his colleague in the eyes, he knew then he must not stall any longer securing his future.

What about you? You have read the story, but could this be you? How many times have you rejected God – will this be your last opportunity?

The Lord is ... patient towards you, not wishing for any to perish...

2 PETER 3:9

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ROMANS 6:23

As an act of divine compassion God extends His saving hand to you today, not because you deserve it but because He loves you.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

JOHN 3:16

If you accept this free gift you are saved forever and are fully booked-up for Heaven. I urge you to think seriously about your eternal destination...you may not have another opportunity.

TURKISH STANCE WITH ISLAM AGAINST ISRAEL

2009-12-14T20:06:00.008Z

View Larger Map

In this short blog I just want to point you to the shifting sands of international politics; which are preparing the ground for the end of current history and the return of Jesus Christ - our Lord and Saviour. If we just read our newspapers and/or watch the local tv news bulletins occasionally we do not truly see the whole picture of what is taking place, even as I write. There are those who laugh off the claims of Biblical prophecy regarding the end times and the return of the Messiah; but their laughter must surely be turning to concern when they see the pace of change in our world which is paving the way for the rest of Biblical prophecy to be fulfilled. I believe by faith the Word of God, but I am not against reading available news on the web which I have found to back the claims of His Word. This surely builds the faith of those who 100% believe the Bible to be free from error...or even fairy tales!
At the end of this I offer the result of a search I carried out on Turkey in the world news, freely available on the web. Follow the stories from beginning to end and see the swift changing of the political landscape in the middle-east. Indeed this can be expanded on if you wish to follow it further; Turkey has been in the news in the first few weeks of 2010.
I urge you to take a little time to search the web news sites; check out the pace of political change, see the move to a "New World Order", watch the manoeuvres of the enemies of God's chosen people as they prepare to make war. Then you will surely see the Word of God for what it is: God's Timetable.

Eliav Levin, leader of a small Messianic Jewish congregation in Beit She’an, Israel, reports his community is under serious violent attack. For the past six months there has been growing persecution against them from the Orthodox Jewish community of this ancient town. This has radically accelerated in the past 24 hours. The cars of congregational members are being systematically burnt, members are being threatened with violence and pressure is being placed upon landlords to revoke contracts with their Messianic tenants to remove them from their apartments.

Israel Approves 'Biometric Law'

http://www.israelnationalnews.com

The Knesset plenum approved Monday evening the 'Biometric Law' in the final readings. Forty Knesset members voted in favor of the law, 11 against and three abstained. The purpose of the law is the creation of a biometric database that would hold the fingerprints and facial photos of all of the country's citizens. The data would be stored in the Interior Ministry computers.

MK Nitzan Horowitz (Meretz), who led the opposition to the law, said after its approval that the vote was “a serious mistake which causes grave harm to freedom of the individual in Israel.”

"I hope that we do not pay too heavy a price for it,” Horowitz said. “In any case, it has been proven that an unrelenting public struggle by idealists can have influence and make a difference. The proof is that the law in its final wording is completely different from the original version.”

During the Knesset debate about the law, MK Horowitz stood at the podium and held up printouts of information from the Ministry of Interior's database which contained information about Knesset members and which reached the Internet. He said that he would not show the contents so as not to invade the MKs' privacy. “The leaked data which reached my hands prove how easy it is to break into government databases,” he said. “I hope that this will not be the fate of the biometric database.”

MK Dov Henin (Hadash) said that despite the government's statements that it would not force Israeli citizens to join the database, “in fact, whoever does not do so would be punished – he will not be able to leave the country's borders, since he would not receive a passport at the level required in developed countries.” The database is not truly a voluntary one, he said.

Faked fingerprints

On the same day that the Knesset approved the law, news from Tokyo appeared to show that this system, too, was not foolproof. Police in the Japanese capital said that they arrested a 27-year-old Chinese woman suspected of illegally entering the country after surgically altering her fingerprints to deceive a biometric recognition system operated by immigration officials.

Lin Rong, 27, had reportedly paid $15,000 to have the surgery in China.

She Waited Five Years for a Bible

from Christian Persecution Blog - a weblog about persecuted Christians ... by Stacy L. Harp

“Now we are on vacation, honey,” the Iranian pastor said to his wife. “Please, don’t do anything that will make the police question us. Let’s not ruin this time together.”

The pastor’s wife was a walking witness for Jesus Christ. She had handed out thousands of Bibles to Muslims in Iran and over five thousand copies of the JESUS film.

At the seaside city where they were vacationing, they went to the mall. They separated to look for the different things they wanted, and when the pastor returned, he found his wife telling a large group of people in the store about Jesus Christ.

Looking around for secret police, he quickly ushered his wife out of the store and into their car. “Honey, we are on vacation. I thought we weren’t going to do that here.”

She looked him in the eye. “There are many people back in that store that don’t know Jesus,” she said seriously. “If they die and go to hell, you are responsible.”

The chastened pastor turned the car around and drove back to the mall. Quickly his wife went back inside, handing out copies of Scripture and the JESUS film.

One lady came forward. “Oh, thank you so much,” she said tearfully. “For five years I have been praying for a Bible, and now the Lord has answered my prayer.”

Vacations make great memories. Walks on the beach. Shopping in the city. Reading by the fire. Yet as much as we need a break from our everyday routine, we are never really entitled to take a break from our witness. In fact, our witness ought to be so much a part of our personalities that we can’t separate the two. The apostle Paul never went anywhere as a “tourist.” For people like the pastor’s wife in this story, it’s not something they can turn off and on like a light switch. Their bold witness is simply who they are, and it comes out naturally in season and out of season. The unnatural thing is a compartmentalized faith—it comes across as fake. Instead, let your faith grow freely in your everyday experiences.

DEATH OF THE DOLLAR AND THE COMING NEW WORLD ORDER

2009-11-11T17:49:00.007Z

In the recent weeks I have heard something that most people would think is well...unthinkable. I started hearing snippets about the soon coming death of the mighty US Dollar. I saw it on news sites, heard it in conversations and most recently in a conference where Gary Kah was the speaker on the New World Order. All this sent me to the web to find out more on this...if it was there. I was amazed at what I found; this is what I share with you today.
Most of us have grown up with a world where the dollar has been the dominant currency and are used to hearing of it being favoured by other nations for trading . This has been the case for some sixty years (previously the dominant currency was the UK pound). In simple terms the dollar has been slowly and gradually devalued by the imbalance of trade between the US and other nations. Sixty years ago the US was a strong exporter, but this has turned around in recent decades to the point today where the US exports very little compared to what it imports from other nations (particularly China etc). To worsen the situation US spending has been high as has been borrowing (China...again!). Add to this that the US government has printed more dollars to alleviate the problems, then it is no surprise that the value of the dollar has fallen significantly in recent years.
Damon Vickers of NPCP hits the nail on the head when he says that "the US dollar is devalued by the absence of real resources supporting the currency," he goes on to say that "the strong currencies are those that are strong exporters of good products, e.g. Australia, Canada." This is reflected in the growth of each countries stock market; the Australian market rose by 23% this year but the US Dow Jones only rose 14%. The huge costs of production in the US compared to other upcoming economies is likely to further hurt the dollar soon.
The crisis in the dollars' value has the ability to hurt many nations and big companies who have invested heavily in US dollars; their savings are dewindling and in some cases profits are being hit hard. The oil producing members of OPEC are one of the biggest investers in the dollar, but they have seen their profits shrunk by $60billion in 2007. It is not surprising then that there has been some voices calling for finding a replacement for the dollar in OPEC transactions. One of the loudest complaints comes from Iran, who has recently started switching its foreign trade from dollars to the Euro which is seen as a stable investment at present. The Iranian Finance Minister recently said that there are many nations questioning the future of the dollar and that discussions are frequent at IMF (International Monetary Fund) and World Bank meetings. It has been said that Persian Gulf states have had secret talks with Russia, China, Japan and France on the issue of replacing the dollar.
These whispers in corners have become the groundswell of world economic opinion in recent years. In the last year, every major nation has either called for a new one world currency and/or a one world government. The speed of the growth of this debate is not lost on the intelligent person; where did this come from all of a sudden? Who is driving this debate?
The finger is being pointed very firmly in the direction of NWO supporters and more specifically the Illuminati. The fate of the dollar was decreed as early as 1971; the gradual destruction of the US manufacturing base and the expansion of free trade/globalisation laid the foundations for the death of the dollar. The recent Copenhagen Treaty accelerates the rush to a one world governement; the treaty creates a quasi world government/economy with real enforceable laws.
We are therefore on the crest of wave which is gathering momentum as it nears the shore; do not be surprised some day when you wake up to read of a new world currency and/or one world government being discussed openly at high levels.

THE THREAT FROM IRAN

2009-11-07T19:52:00.002Z

Recently I have posted in my shared news developments which have been happening with great pace between Iran and her near neighbours, particularly Turkey. While the world looks on the continuing story of Iran versus US approval over nuclear ambitions many stories are flying under the radar of world news coverage. Not much is being covered in newspapers or the BBC about the diplomatic ties that are being forged between Iran and her near neighbours and Muslim allies. Watch Iran carefully...these are just the beginnings of Iranian intentions in the wider world.

2009-11-06T15:15:00.003Z

The sad and very tragic loss of five UK servicemen in Afghanistan has been eclipsed by the loss of thirteen young men in Fort Hood USA. There is an air of inevitability about these tragedies; after all our security services are dealing with an uncertain enemy. The muslim community amongst us can never be assumed to be westernised. These two incidents prove that there needs to be a new awareness of true muslim beliefs that are hostile to non-muslim and particularly christian beliefs. The suitability of muslim nationals in western nations for military service needs to be re-assessed in the present climate. Having said all that, the UK soldiers were murdered by an Afghani police officer, which raises the question of the validity of the war in that region. I must admit to being pessimistic for the future for our service personnel; while western political policy clashes with an increasingly aggressive imperialistic muslim world there will be more such incidents as Fort Hood in the future.

PROOF OF THE AFTER LIFE

Hi folks! Greetings in Christ! Follow the links below to read a very interesting interview from Fox News. It is interesting in that the evidence is presented purely from a scientific viewpoint rather than a faith viewpoint. This guy has the atheists worried...big time!

Thanks to brother Bob for an amazingly insightful blog, where today he shares a short dvd summary of Lord Christopher Monckton talking on the coming World Government and New World Order. Below is a copy of the full thing for your perusal courtesy of brother Blaine from over the big pond.

WHERE ARE THE MEN OF GOD?

2009-10-28T15:02:00.004Z

This morning I had the time to watch Pastor Paul Scanlon of Abundant Life Ministries on tv talking of the age old problem of the lack of men in our churches - it is a subject close to my heart.
The truth of the matter is that in the last two hundred years at least the church has been gradually feminised and therefore robbed of its God-given power to reach ALL people. Churches have been orientated towards what pushes the buttons of women over the years, and many practices have become ingrained in our language and worship. When men do come to church they are met by a largely uncomfortable experience with which they make the mental note "not to do this again." How do you think the some men react to songs which have lyrics which refer to another man as the lover of their soul or, as their bridegroom? The stereotypical limp vicar taking tea and scones with the womens' group is not the sort of company chosen by most men!
Men are different...and have different needs!!
The gospel does not change, nor does the Holiness of God our Father; but the presentation needs to be wise to the needs of the listeners. We need to learn to present the dynamic and practical benefits of faith in Christ, and following Him. The stereotyped Christ sold by Hollywood (and also the BBC!) needs to be recast as the original dynamic saviour of all mankind.
I have been blessed over the years in that I have been influenced by real men of God ( not a vicar in sight!). They are real men who have lived in the real world, some have worked down the coal pits - they bring a masculinity back to the Christ of the Gospel in their daily lives and make Him attractive in a manly way to other men.
Therefore, my encouragement is for the mature men of God in our churches to guard the presentation of our Lord and Saviour for the unsaved men out there. Further than that, seek to befriend men you know in and out of church and lead them to the Man of Calvary.

A SIMPLE MAN SHARES!

Greetings to all in the name of Christ - my Lord and Saviour! As the title states, i claim no great knowledge or status; I am but an ordinary man who follows Christ and aims to share what I hope is relevant to myself and other folks. If this appeals to you, then feel free to read on.

A brother in Christ brought to my attention a video at:
http://www.unwatch.org/site/c.bdKKISNqEmG/b.5537773/k.73CE/Dramatic_UN_Testimony.htm
When I watched this through it touched me and encouraged me greatly; the bravery and the integrity of the man to speak up for truth in what he would know to be a hostile environment is an example to us all. If you do nothing else today watch this dvd and act on it!
The End Times are upon us and being played out in full view of our tv screens and news media; one single proof of that is the place of Israel in the World and its' place in Biblical Prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes. We need to be aware of the nearness of our Saviours' return and to share this freely as a matter of utmost urgency.
