NOTE TO THE READER:  I am just learning to dig deeply into God’s Word, and into His prophecies.  I started about two to three years ago, and I quickly learned that it requires the study of ancient Hebrew, Hebrew poetry, idioms and the Hebrew culture.  The Bible cannot be fully appreciated until these things are properly understood.  This study has also shown me why the Lord brought me to this point the way He did.  Had I not followed the path I traveled, I would not have been prepared to learn as quickly as He has been teaching me, nor would I have been able to make the connections I make.  Now, I do not claim to be a prophet, or to have special revelation.  In fact, most of what I am learning is the work of greater men.  I just put pieces together: that is all I do.  That said, what follows in this series is an alternate understanding of prophecy from what the Church has come to understand.  It is how I now see and understand God’s prophetic Word, and I share it in hope that it will help others and, God willing, bring at least one person to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.  But I caution you: the study of Scripture — especially prophecy — is not to be taken lightly.  If you read any of the posts in this series, please take the time to read everything, including the links.  They have been provided because they are necessary to understanding the message.

NOTE TO THE READER:  This is one of a series of posts on Biblical prophecy unfolding in our time.  I do not make any claim to be a prophet, or to have been given any special revelation or understanding of prophecy. In fact, much of what I understand about prophecy is the result of reading Scripture guided by the works of Ellis Skolfield.  You can find them at Fish House Ministries.  Much of his work is available free in downloadable pdf format.  That said, what the Lord has given me is a mind that seems to see prophecy as it unfolds in human history.  I feel compelled to share what I have learned.  This is why I have started this series.  But there is a great deal to explain, and it will take time to do so.  I beg the read, if you chose to start reading in this series, please be patient.  I also ask that you take God’s Word seriously and do your best to at least consider my posts from a Biblical perspective. 

This post deals with events in human history which I believe were foretold by the Apostle, Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 2, specifically verses 1-12. Continue reading “PROPHECY IN THE HEADLINES: 2 Thessalonians 2” →

Mr. Beck, I hope you find and read this post.  You are being used by Satan.  You are giving your voice to Satan and perverting Scripture to do so.  I pray you will repent and see that your works-based faith has blinded you tot he Truth of God’s Word.

On his radio show today, April 6, 2015, around 0835is CST, Glenn Beck said the Resurrection is not the true miracle, but the conversion!  Beck claimed that the Resurrection does not save, that Baptism does not save, but conversion saves.  The implication is that works is what saves, and he used Saul (who is known as Paul) as an example to make his case.  I say to you that Beck does not understand the Bible.  In fact, he rejects it.  But more than that, PAUL SAYS BECK IS TO BE ACCURSED!

If you are unaware of it, I keep another blog that is more narrowly focused.  I deal with most any topic on The OYL, but on The Road to Concord, I try to keep my posts focused on issues that deal with Natural Law.  Lately, I have written several posts dealing with the Natural Laws governing logic and reasoning, but they are posted on The Road to Concord.  I would like to invite you to visit my other blog and check them out.  If you like what you read there, maybe you can share them with your friends and family?  I do not advertise either blog page.  You are the only source of advertising these pages receive, so — at least to me — their failure or success is a fairly accurate measure of my failure or success at writing something that others find useful in helping them grow in their own understanding of the world.

Thank you for stopping by 🙂

In our discussion under my post on the reflections of the Spirit world as manifested by the colors blue and red, my good friend, DonAmeche, makes this comment:

“I have been struggling with whether mathematical insights such as this are a kind of Self-defining boundary of the human mind at any epoch in time or whether they are a kind of small window on the mind of God if you will. The notion ( discovery) of lower dimensional surfaces “mapped” to higher dimensional Spheres has a faint ring about it like “as above so below” for instance.”

In doing so, whether he was aware of it at the time or not, my friend stumbled across the central theme common to all species of Materialism: a denial of any limitations of human understanding. Continue reading “UNDERSTANDING MATERIALISM: The Presumption of Intellectual and Moral Superiority” →

FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW: There Can Be No Liberty Without Religion

I have written about this principle before, but it cannot be argued to often: there can be no liberty without religion.  By religion, I mean a belief in God and in judgment in the next life for our actions in this one.  Our founders believed this, and they did their best to preserve their reasoning in writing so that we would not forget it.  But it is not just our founders who understood this lesson.  The Atheist understands it as well, but more than that, the Atheist understands that liberty can only exist where  the people believe in the God of the Bible.  That is why they have and continue to be so consistent in their attempts to eliminate Jews and Christians.  I know this to be true because they have said so. … Continue reading →

I find it interesting that ‘science’ is willing to accept the notion of additional dimensions, or that something can come from nothing, yet it refuses to even entertain the notion that there may well be a Spirit world as the Bible claims.  How can a quantum physicist seriously assert that he has demonstrated that sub-atomic particles can ‘pop’ into and out of existence, while in the next breath, deny any possibility of what he would term ‘the supernatural?’  Doing so is a contradiction, which means the quantum physicist either lacks the fundamental understanding necessary to properly apply the scientific method, or he is irrational — in which case he cannot apply the scientific method properly.  The Truth is there is much more indirect evidence to suggest the Bible is correct than there is to support any theory of evolution.  The Biblical significance of the colors blue and red are just one example, but there are many more.

The impulse to control other people is evil — period.  There is no justification.  A person may try to rationalize this impulse, but it is still evil.  Nothing can change this; not even if the majority agrees with the desire to control.  In fact, when the majority tries to force its will on others, that is called the tyranny of the masses.  it is why our founders rejected democracy.  Unfortunately, our society no longer recognizes tyranny.  Instead, most people in this nation support and even advance tyranny under the guise of ‘fairness.’  They insist that justice is based on fairness.  they are wrong.  Justice is based in morality;  ‘fairness’ is based in tyranny.  This is what is at the heart of the desire to create ‘protected classes’ in this society.  Well, we have another chance to illustrate this point and — at the same time — demonstrate why I am fond of telling people that evil will always boast and tell you exactly what it wants and why.  We find it in a story a friend of mine shared with me about the tyrants trying to destroy a family owned pizza parlor.

I want to set aside the secular aspect of the debate over religious liberty verses discrimination.  Instead, I want to focus on something that actually alarms me even more than the damage that is being done by the militant homosexual agenda.  What I want to address is the Spiritual confusion among professed believers as to what God’s Word tells us about how we should deal with homosexuals.  I have seen some Christians arguing that they should have a right to refuse service to or association with homosexuals.  Others are rather harsh in their attacks on other believers for stating this position.  This group argues that we must show Christ’s love, and the only way to do this is to accept homosexuals and treat them as we would any other.  Well, if you are a believer, let me ask you a simple question:

Has the Body of Christ grown so dead that it no longer knows or understands the Word of God? Continue reading “KNOW YOUR SCRIPTURES: Casting Pearls before Swine and the Homosexual Agenda” →

I was listening to the radio again today and I heard one popular commentator trying to explain the growing anti-Christian agenda in this nation in terms of the American Left’s desire to control the majority.  While there is truth in this assertion, this radio host didn’t explain the context which makes it true.  Instead, he was trying to explain it strictly in material terms.  Sadly, this strips all truth from his statement.  The truth as to why there is a growing anti-Christian agenda in this nation, the real Truth, was explained to us a long time ago.  Whether or not you see past the material aspects of this world is what decides if you see the real Truth, or just its reflection.

I posted a more formal argument for why we have a right to discriminate on my other blog, the Road to Concord.  However, I am not ready to leave this issue alone.  I think what we may need to help the harder cases out there is a little shock to the system.  So, if you will allow me, I would like to use absurdity to illustrate the absurdity in this supposed ‘debate’ over discrimination.

Why do so many people think that a belief in God is irrational?  I understand that the majority of those who think this way also believe that ‘science’ supports their skepticism.  Sadly, this belief is based in ignorance of the scientific method.  So, before we can have a meaningful discussion as to why belief in God is not irrational, we have to have a discussion on the many ‘fallacies of science.’ Continue reading “The Fallacy of ‘Science’” →

In his recent interview with Glenn Beck, Grover Norquist claimed that his connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and other subordinate Islamic organizations was intended to help stabilize the Middle East by promoting democracy and free trade.  In this interview, Norquist claimed that he had someone else read the Qur’an for him, and that this person determined the Qur’an supports democracy and private property rights.  So, as Norquist sees it, this means Islam can be ‘modernized.’  Throughout the interview, Norquist continuously claimed his goal is to bring Islam out of the Thirteenth Century.  However, there is a major problem with this claim: it is not true!  First, Muhammad was very forceful in asserting that Islam does not change!  Next, the Qur’an does not allow for democracy, and it only provides property rights for Muslims.  If you are not a Muslim, you have very few rights at all, let alone property rights.  Sadly, this is one of the areas where Beck’s ignorance got in his way as he did not correct Norquist on any of these point.  (in my opinion, this is caused by his Spiritual blindness).  But it is worse than this.  Norquist is married to a Muslim, so he is not ignorant of these fact.  This means Norquist knows full-well that he is lying about Islam.

When it comes to Spiritual matters, I have been and will continue to be an out-spoken critic of Glenn Beck.  However, when it comes to matters of investigative reporting and education on historic events, I will laud Beck and the people who work with them.  They took down Van Jones, and exposed George Soros and the TIDES Foundation.  Historically, Beck is the only reason America now knows about and understands the American Progressive movement.  And now, although he still has it wrong on Spiritual matters, Beck is at least starting to report on the history of Islam, especially the Muslim Brotherhood.  It is this investigation into Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood that lead Beck and his people to another piece of the puzzle.  While many ‘Conservatives’ have been quick to condemn Obama for giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies in the Middle east while turning against Israel, we have neglected the evidence condemning the Republican Party on the same counts.  Now Beck has exposed the connections, and the evidence is clear.  the reason the GOP has not and will not do anything to stop Obama’s treason is because they are partners in his crimes.  The GOP is supporting ‘Radical Muslim Terrorism!’ Continue reading “PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: GOP Support for the Muslim Brotherhood” →

Psalm 82:5

There was a time when I used to read prophecy literally.  I still believed it, but it caused problems for me.  I could not understand how I could rationalize my faith in Scripture and prophecy with what I know about the universe and how it works.  Consequently, I had a difficult time defending God’s Word against the attack of skeptics and scoffers.  But that was before I truly surrendered to the Lord and sought His will and His understanding.  Since then, I have come to understand that much of prophecy is symbolic.  The pictures it paints are meant to convey Spiritual messages.  Now, this does not mean there are not manifestations of these prophecies in the material world, because there are.  But the true meaning is usually in the symbol or Spiritual picture the prophet was painting rather than the meaning of the literal translations.  Sadly, a veil of blindness has fallen over the world.  It manifests itself in the form of ‘science,’ or ‘technology,’ but the effect is the same.  It has blinded man to the fact that God’s moral laws are as much a part of Natural Law as the laws we accept (i.e. physics).  Man has exalted himself to the throne of God, and God is using it to fulfill prophecy before our very eyes.  The foundations of the earth are being shaken and we do not see or understand.

I was already going to write this post when I noticed my co-blogger, Texas95, had posted a link in the comments of my previous post.  When I opened that link, I discovered that it supported the subject I intended to write about.  My previous post was written the night before I attended a men’s group at our church where Rick Burgess of the Rick and Bubba Show was speaking.  The subject of Rick’s address centered around the subject of my last post: do you have a demonic belief in God, or have you truly made Him Lord of your life.  My youngest son accepted Christ last night, after he heard Rick speak.  I immediately knew there was no coincidence between my post and Rick’s address, just as I know now that Texas95’s link is not a coincidence.  Scripture tells us that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who believe in and trust on Him (Romans 8:28).  I know this is the Truth because I see it at work in my life and the lives of those around me.  It is also how I know that writing this post is obedience to God, and therein lies the subject of this post: the real duality in this world.

If you believe, I want you to ask yourself a question:

Do you believe in the Creator, or do you believe in The Lord?

It’s a simple question, but the answer is anything but.  In fact, for those who believe, the answer is everything, so I pray you take time to seriously reflect on your answer before you make it.  Then read the rest of this post and decide whether or not you answered correctly.

NOTE: This is the first post in what will be a series of posts sharing what I have learned from an intensive, two-year study of Biblical prophecy and world history.

For the past couple years, I have been in an intensive study of Biblical prophecy.  My study has taken me to other areas of Scripture, as well.  I have found myself studying ancient Hebrew and Hebrew culture; Greek; Biblical symbology and allegory and even secular history.  What I have learned has convinced me that — where prophecy is concerned — the majority of the Church believes in a false testimony; a lie.  For example, several things I discovered that the majority of believers will probably find difficult to accept are: Continue reading “BIBLE PROPHECY: Much of what You Think You Know about Prophecy is Wrong!” →

The Humanist is dangerous because he actually studies human nature.  His goal is to learn the best ways to create, shape and direct public opinion.  To the Humanist, this is a science that can be mastered. It started with the Progressives under Woodrow Wilson, especially with a man named Edward Bernays.  Bernays is known as the father of propaganda, and he said propaganda is a weapon.  The NAZI’s actually credited Bernays (and the Wilson Administration) for teaching them how to use propaganda as a weapon.  Today, we can see the perfection of the process Bernay’s pioneered in action — if we know what to look for, that is.  The problem for most Americans is that we are the product of Humanist social engineering, which means we have not been taught what we need to know to spot this process.  We have to know a great deal of history before we can see it in action.  I do not claim to know everything I need to know, myself, but I know enough to spot it.  I hope to share what I have learned with you so you might learn to spot it too.  I will illustrate using the current narrative on the ‘crisis’ of ‘climate change.’ Continue reading “UNDERSTANDING HUMANISM: Crisis and Sacrifice in Action” →

LAWLESSNESS IN THE HEADLINES: The Death of the First Amendment

Have you heard?  The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled it is ‘Constitutional’ for our schools to teach Christianity to students.  They are not just teaching about the religion; they are teaching the religion.  The Court even ruled that it is ‘Constitutional’ for our schools to force students to dress as first century Christians, take on Christian names, pray to Yahweh and generally act like first century Christians for two full weeks.  What’s more, schools do not have to tell the parents, and parents cannot ‘opt their children out’ of the course.  This ruling goes so far as to protect the schools teaching students that Yahweh is not only real, He is the One True God.  But here is the biggest shocker: the ACLU has been totally silent on this matter!  This is the joining of Church and State, and with its ruling, the Ninth Court of Appeals has destroyed the First Amendment.  Oh!  There’s just one catch to this story: it wasn’t Christianity, it was Islam!
