Obama & his false prophet… the teleprompter.

Now I’m not saying that this guy is the Antichrist, but he is something like an antichrist.

Obama’s use of the teleprompter is proof that the agenda he is most focused on is not what spews out of his mouth while heeding to every movement of text on the teleprompter screen. A man’s passion is in no need of the help of a teleprompter if what he is saying he is truly passionate about, especially when he has a gift of charisma, and communicating clearly with no disability. The weeping of the people during speeches is proof that they are easily swayed by his words, but are decieved by his craftiness, and made confused by placing all their hope in a man, who has a history which should be held under much scrutiny. The confusion of the people is clearly the frustration of the lack of knowledge (evidence) of the existence of God, thus their emotions being tossed around and easily moved by such hopeful themes of things getting better by someone or something tangible, like Obama (or anybody). The lack of knowledge of God comes from their inability to accept that there is a God (pride, and comfort and addictions to their devices of pleasure), and their inability to admit they are ruled by the fear of death. Obama, (and most leaders) at the end of the day, is an enabler. He, with his words, and seemingly socialist decisions, is placing all of america under one banner so that he can control the multitudes by allowing them to stay in the bliss of their ignorance, while making the feel warm and fuzzy. I also know, that at the end of the day, he is going to be an upset for the people who had placed all their hope in what he proclaimed to accomplish, and what he hopes to accomplish, by finding out that he is yet another weak man as we all are in our flesh, with deep flaws and arrogance.

pre-trib/post-trib rapture, answered simply.

The rapture question is really simple, yet we over-complicate it with philosophy and emotionally driven questions birthed from poor understanding of the big picture that is simply laid in the scripture.

The foundation that creates the pre-tribulation rapture theory is really just a lack of understanding on the original design and intent of creation, mixed with philosophy and great lack of using the scriptures themselves to defend it’s position, and that’s because there are no scriptures that solidify a need or purpose of a pre-trib rapture.

The paradigm of someone who believes in a pre-trib rapture would most likely not believe (or know) that the original design of creation was that God the Father would dwell with mankind, and us with Him. In other words, Heaven on Earth, the physical and the spiritual realms in one. (God is not created, therefore not bound to a physical frame.)In other words, a pre-trib position basically views heaven as a destination, and that creation was a momentary, temporal existence so that we would forever stay in a blissful spiritual state of existence in a far off place with the Father singing songs and staring at him and eachother for eternity, or one might even think He will just create a whole new creation from scratch, or already has, and we’re just being pumped out of an assembly line, and He is just “letting” the lost go to hell because of free-will and that the burden is ours to save the world. (obviously im just venting some of the possible implications of someone who backs pre-trib rapture, and it even contradicts Jesus returning). Honestly, someone who usually backs a pre-trib rapture is someone who probably hasn’t studied the end-times and had a goose-bump feeling when they got the “left-behind” kind of preaching.

They will also believe that God is taking us out of the planet to save us from the wrath that He will unleash on the earth in the end-times that is mentioned in the book of Revelation (and throughout the bible). What they don’t realize they’re saying, is that God is not powerful enough to keep them alive and safe during such a great and terrible time. What they’re forgetting to remember is the story of Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, where three young men who were faithful willing servants of the Lord who were divinely protected from the intense furnace that should have caused their death.

God shows no impartiality, He rains on the good and the wicked. Jesus was very intentional when He said “blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” He came to seek and save the lost, that is His primary goal, and we can be servants who partner with Him.

Basically, if we are truly Christians, we will desire to be a light in the world at its darkest time, to partner with Him in seeking the lost souls, and giving them hope in His plan for restoration. Yes, God is soveriegn, He is the one who saves the lost. We should not take offense that He would leave us on earth to experience such a dark time. We should know and understand that death has no effect on us, and a pre-trib rapture is unnecessary. We should also know that God has complete control over the elements, and our surviving intense calamity will be testimony of His goodness, and that He is not out to destroy, but to save those lost, and even if we did die in the tribulation, we are with Him anyways. The wrath being unleashed on earth in the end-times is judgment on those who say no to God, and do not believe He will take care of them, and say yes to Satan, who will give them security by the mark of the beast in the hardest times man has ever seen. It will be a very clear statement to God when people take the mark of the beast. God will not let those He died for, be judged in vain, based off naievty; they will know what they are buying into when they take the mark of the beast, regardless of how cunning and deceptive the anti-christ is.

Our primary weapon to get through the tribulation and through the daily battles we face even now, is our relationship with Jesus, which is cultivated through MUCH prayer, true grace, real repentance,  study of the scriptures, real fellowship with the body of Christ, and the labor of love in which we do our part by being a light in the world. Being a light is taking seriously the labor of love in our sphere of influence that God has placed us in, and the relationships we invest in to partner with Him in saving the lost.
