End Times 

Matthew 24:34

Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Mark 13:30

Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Luke 21:32

“Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

I have written my thoughts about this topic and each time gained insight into the meaning. I returned to Irvin Baxter's presentations on this topic, recently.

 

During this past year, 2013, this United States of America began a dramatic path to becoming a different country.

And this World accelerated it's journey back to its Past.

Adding one of my posts for review: Consider My Hypothesis.

 

Often, when we have anticipated the:

• lottery or other contest win,
• inheritance,
• dream vacation,

for so long, we get apathetic. Then the Great Day arrives and we struggle to believe it finally, actually arrived.
I am becoming convinced we are at the time written of and talked about for 2000 years.

What I also snapped to is once the Event begins, it will end By OR B4 this generation ends.

I am REALLY interested in what happens in 2014!!!

And after!

End Time Minstries

The Bad Then The Good!

We watch our world disintegrating daily on every media available. I read a comment after the Mayan calendar ended and nothing visible happened. The author noted certain events, then said, “Maybe they were right after all and the end of the world has begun”. Since that time, every type of negative scenario has accelerated, in every country.  One type of people continues to try stopping the annihilation of every major living group on Earth and the other type are equally committed to the homicide of Earth’s inhabitants.

I cut flowers and weeds and branches and placed them in clay on a metal platter. During class, I asked the students which of the items were dead. Some answered, the weeds, others the  weeds and branches. Several observed that ALL the items were dead. The flowers and branches did not display their death until later.

When leaders and their supporters cut themselves off from the Source of Life, their thinking and decisions produce death that appears to live. In every good story and movie, the bad guys win for most of the story, UNTIL near the end. THEN the good guys are strengthened, inspired an empowered. Usually, recovery and rebuilding are implied as the scene fades.

Keep doing what is RIGHT!!!

One More Disappointment...

I have been a fan of Ancient Aliens for several years. Their presentations were structured, logical, charismatic, plausible. Occasionally, a remark or episode seemed a stretch but overall I tended to agree.
Recently, I opened a site of rebuttals to AA and OMG, was I slapped down. And sad. And disappointed.
Not sad or disappointed because the Truth surfaced but because I trusted the AA staff.

AA Debunked 1

AA Debunked 2

AA Debunked 3

For Extra Studies, If Interested

 

As with a great number of people, I have enjoyed a fascination with natural and super natural phenomenon since my teens. I learned to approach this subject with caution because, rarely, was hard evidence available to support the claims. As an adult, in the military and certain government organizations, I also learned hard evidence, such as ground samples, radar recordings, certain photos or videos could endanger one's career.

But, still, what were these and why were they?

 

After reading the "other side" of the coin, I am convinced entities mentioned in the Bible have certain liberties on Earth and in the Heavens. AND I am convinced we do not have to exaggerate or lie to prove their existence

 

You let me and others down, AA Staff. Shame on you.

Well, IF That Is TRUE?! Then Where Is The Evidence?

About five years after returning to Church, I applied a technique that helped me resolve equipment communication problems. The principle also helped during research to filter incorrect or inaccurate from Truth. Decades later, shows like CSI applied the same rule.

IF That Is TRUE?! There should be Evidence?

Working in a data recording department.

• When the lights change colors, the recorder is in this phase. True.

When Jews/Israelites are present and free to live, the host country is blessed.

• According to a variety of sources, statistically this is true.

During a variety of discussions on abstract topics, I learned that TRUTH will surface. In fact, instead of arguing, beating, debating or cramming obvious truth down some dimwits throat, just tell the truth. Whether dimwit accepts it is not my or your obligation. and if I am the dimwit, you know what to do.

 

NOTE: Why do we say we are going to stuff this down their throat, when we are trying to change someone's mind? Huh?? Throat > stomach > Intestines. Nowwwww, stuff it in your ear, makes more sense. Ear > Brain.

 

TRUTH.

An independent laboratory yadda, yadda, yadda.

The report by Supreme source of snow job.

One after another "sworn to honor and uphold truth and integrity" lied. AGAIN!

We catch the criminals and PUT THEM AWAY - THEN turn them loose. AGAIN!

People write laws based on emotion or personal agendas and idiots expect them enforced.

I struggle with what is true every day. The Expert, The Report, The Documentary.

 

The Bible tells of a government and system that will be so precisely restrictive that it will attempt control of every individual's purchase and consumption. Seems a little over the top but "if it's true, there should be evidence", somewhere.

Honestly, I am amazed and frightened by the Reality of our abilities. From what I understand, from a variety of media, we have the technologies and governments (HOA, City, County, State, Federal) to monitor the activities of every person in the industrial world. Isn't it incredible?!?! We know we can observe every creature on our planet (ATM cams, bird cams, drones, etc.) and I am still getting use to the Smart Electric Meter on our house.

 

I'm not paranoid, just stating the facts. The Geek part of me is fascinated by the possible capability of being able to track the movements and actions of every human being in the industrial world. Living in a subdivision with and Home Owners Association HOA has taken much of the excitement our of being the watched.

• You have the wrong lights up.
• You have had the correct lights up Too Long.
• Your fence is crooked, fix it, or we will and charge you.
• WE WILL CHARGE YOU, FINE YOU, TAKE YOUR HOUSE AND SELL IT.

I have observed HOAs suing their "participants" for displaying flags not to their liking or not displayed properly (according to their criteria), planting the wrong kind of flowers or in the wrong place, etc. My first thoughts were, "this cannot be real. rationale people do not take others to court. DO THEY". YES! They do.

The States Attorney Generals have restricted HOA powers over the past two years.

BUT!!

Imagine, with me, these kind of dysfunctional, power obsessed, our laws are God to be enforced without thought of Justice or Balance, people. This blog could be several hundred pages to cover this topic in-depth, which I will do in my book. The idea and intent of laws is to provide a society with rules of conduct for the harmonious action of said society. Some laws also include discipline for disobedience. Since any man made criteria or law is not perfect, said laws are enforced by "officers of the law" and they are/were trained to enforce the laws with a sense of justice.

Example:

• An officer pulls you over for exceeding the posted speed limit. He/she asks you why, you respond. The officer has the option to "let you go".
• NOW: remove the intent/spirit of the law and leave ONLY the WRITTEN law. The officer gives you a ticket and maybe removes your license.

An episode of Flash Point (a Police SWAT themed TV series) posed the team scenario trying to stop a husband from killing his wife. The SWAT shooter is set to shoot the husband, WHEN the daughter of the couple pulls a gun, walks toward the two firing at her dad. The daughter believes the police are going to wait until her dad actually shoots her mother before they fire. She fires once, twice telling her dad to drop his gun. NOW, the SWAT shooter, which lives by the Letter of the Law, asks permission to shoot the daughter.

Strict adherence to the law requires whoever is preparing to kill another person is the Bad Guy regardless of reason, and he is now prepared to kill the daughter instead of the husband. The supervisor is now under pressure from the sniper, needing permission, and knowing the young woman will kill her dad to protect her mother. He gives permission...BAM...and the daughter dies.

Back in the office, the team debriefs and a member forces the issue of killing the girl. The star cites the law and explains they do not evaluate, they are to obey. The objecting team member cites the intent of law is justice not blind obedience and they wrongly executed an innocent person trying to save her mother. He quits the team explaining he will remain with the Police force but in an area where officers consider justice the primary option.

A news  account of an 81 year old grandmother who tracks down the two men who raped her granddaughter. Took her about a week to locate them. She went  to the motel room where they were staying, shoots both in the groin, goes to the Police Department , confesses and turns herself in. The Police respond to the news by saying, “What she did was wrong and she broke the law; but who wants to put an 81 year old grandmother in jail, when the city wants to elect her Mayor”.  

When any nation, corporation or family lives by moral rules of righteousness and justice, the Spirit of the Law is applied in an equitable and fair manner. We all know what happens when any nation, corporation or family rejects the right method of application; tyranny, abuse, moral and financial collapse, divorce.

NOTE: I like following rules and obeying laws. Experience teaches me those that disobey either usually cause grief or harm to others. My behavioral problem is tending to the No Mercy side for disobedience. I resist this daily and because of it am not the right person for any type of Manager position.

A friend and former Pastor of mine, once told me he did not give me certain assignments, involving people, because he knew I would do Exactly what he said instead of the Intent of what he wanted. I work well with equipment or data.

Unfortunately, as we all know, not everyone in positions of control should be there.

END OF NOTE.
 
Recently, the 6 o'clock news covered a truck driver and a criminal.

• Owner and driver of the truck hears noises around his truck. He steps outside, confronts a man slashing his $300.00 a piece tires.
• The slasher stops and begins to leave and not wait to be arrested.
• The owner shoots him in his butt to stop him.

The Police arrive, apply the Letter of the Law and arrest the owner truck driver. The camera records the owner being taken to jail and no one was sure what happened with the criminal.

• The criminal had turned his back and was walking away from the owner, when shot.
• The officer stated a law and charge the truck owner with assault with deadly weapon.
• Apparently, he was expected to let the criminal walk away and let the police try to find him.

The station asked their legal analyst and his first response was, "the police are wrong in this case and was sure the charges would be dropped". Now I believe a majority of the hundreds of thousands of law enforcement staff are doing a commendable job. My proposition is future possibilities.

 

AND for balance:

 NYC, Bloomberg and the Homeless.2012

Feeding the homeless. 2012

Feed the homeless or not.2013

Park not the place?2013

 

The Police are following orders, whether they seem moral or not. In each case, the foot soldier is not faced with a clear moral dilemma, although, they may wonder, "What changed?" If you watch each video, notice the comments on the Change of Enforcement.

Now consider:

United Nations Agenda 21

Member Nations - USA

Federal Government

State Government

County Government

City Government

Home Owner Associations

As the staff of each member government agrees to implement and enforce laws of the UN, we become a monitored World Government. The average World Citizen is a peacefully compliant person; which makes it easier for aggressive people to impose their will though laws, policies and ordinances.

 

You may say, you do not know my neighbors or neighbor. True, I do not but unless you live in a crime ridden neighborhood or have that 1 in 50 Neighbor From Hell, the observation is true.

 

For Decades, I have read and listened to Biblical experts speak about:

• The End Times,
• Tribulation and Great Tribulation,
• A World Government with technical ability to deny food, clothes, utilities to non-compliant individuals,
• Physical resources to enforce (brutally, if necessary) laws to control where citizens live, how many can live and how many may be born.

Germany once wrote and enforced laws limiting children per parents. China did the same. American still gives the expectant person the choices of keeping, aborting, and number. I have stated an observation concerning any leader (manager, governor, minister, president) that they have to have like minded people supporting them (administrative staff, enforcers). History records a number of benevolent leaders and pathologically brutal dictators and each had supporters (as insane as that seems to me).

 

Okay, direction change. The Bible also reveals to us that places of refuge will be available during the worst time in the World's history. History also notes during times of beastly rulers in families, companies, nations, there were brave Godly fighters.

• Freedom fighters helping downed pilots or escaped prisoners escape enemy territory.
• Germans providing shelter and escape for the Jews.
• Peasant resistance during Kings domination.
• Jehovah prophets resisted cruel Godless rulers.

 Kings 18

7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?

13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

1 Kings 19

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. 9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Matthew 24

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:

Luke 17:31

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

 

How many are paying attention to current events? Do not know. I know some are because the data I gather come from a range of diverse sources and levels of status.

This  blog theme is my opinion including the following:

Biblical Generation = 80 years

Israel officially recognized 1948.

1948
+ 80 years generation
2028 End of Dispensation
-     7 years Tribulation
2021

We are year end 2013, so counting from 2014, they have 7 years to prepare for full implementation and we have the same 7 years to prepare for resistance and safety.

Our Preparer is greater than theirs.

Let's make the best of our time.

Have a great day.

BTW. IF This Is TRUE?! There should be Evidence! And U wud b 100% correct.

PS: My FEAR is knowing what people like me are capable of without a Will harnessed to a strong moral compass. In my case, that compass is Jesus Christ.

Consider My Hypothesis

• Israel was officially recognized as a nation 1948.
• A Biblical generation = 80 years,
• Presidential term = 4 years: Several were re-elected to serve 2 terms. None served more,
• Governments develop welfare citizens to control them,
• True Wealth is our Time: used to improve self, family and community,
• Money is the standard of commerce
• Currency is Money's public substitute.

Approximately, 2028 could complete a Biblical 80 years generation.
Historically, 

• Wealth is an equal commodity available to free people.
• Money is a standard used to develop commerce and is congregated for security and control.
• Currency is the accepted Money substitute for common daily use.
• There have been and always will be some form of bartering.
• People will sacrifice Wealth for Currency/Money.
• A Faction of any population will hoard Money for its intrinsic perceived power of influence and control.

Our World and Earth is very visibly volatile. Half is natural (storms, earthquakes, droughts) and the other half is human made (pollution, animal and plant extermination). The Bible speaks of Tribulation (7 years) and Great Tribulation ( one half of the seven years) in the time before Jesus returns.

Now, let's consider 2028-2013= 15 years. Our current president is in his second term of four years and unless some catastrophic political upheaval happened, he will be gone in 3 more years. Almost anything thing he puts in place can be reversed or ignored, UNLESS the government continues enforcing existing laws and ordinances.

The governments are picking their war partners:

• Communism versus Democracy
• Catholic versus Protestant
• Muslim Versus Christian versus Hindu
• Israel(and partners) versus the World

The Bible tells us a political system will appear and the government will demand allegiance from the populace. The government will use a technical system that will control who can use grocery stores, gasoline stations, etc.; which means anyone able to live off the land (hunters, farmers, gardeners, fishers) will be able to survive and reject the system. Doing this within a city will be challenging but WAY OUTSIDE can happen.

I am not a survivalist, by vocation or nature, but can adapt. America has Woods and Mountains that have supported Native Americans and others for a thousand years. 15 years -7 years = 8 years to prepare ourselves places of safety and survival.

There is another thought that life will just continue as it always has and I will consider that. If, none of the previous events take place, we still have to consider the daily:

• destruction of forests (for building),
• moving clean land and water (for energy),
• consumption of clean water (for a continually increasing population),
• killing animals (for ivory, medicines, etc.) to extinction
• I just read the Black Rhinoceros is officially extinct.

Every living thing on Earth is connected directly or indirectly and necessary for the balance of life. We can and have adapted to past extinctions of certain animals or plants but what happens when we erase whole systems at a time? Convincing greedy, self-centered groups of people that their action are dangerous to our survival does not work. You cannot rationally discuss life with the dead.

Humans require clean air, water, and land for food and clothing. The natural eco system provides the cleansing of these basics for our and their use. As large corporations efficiently and systematically destroy natural habitat, they are preparing our extinction.

Nature seems to go offensive, at times, in apparent effort to terminate the threat (humans) to it. This week, the strongest typhoon ever recorded hit the Philippians. Each quarter, each year produces stronger storms, of every type, greater number of earthquakes, catastrophic tsunamis.

I believe most of us do not have any choice of what is going to happen but we do have choices in how we prepare and respond. I plan to use resources to alert people, travel, live well, deal with occasional depression, enjoy the best of life and greet God.

Have a great day.
Comments are welcome.

Spent the past hours writing this and watching SCI channel's Survivor man's Survival Secrets.

I'm 67 And Have Learned Something...

but what did I actually learn?
We are going to live and die and in-between it's anybody's guess. There seems to be more Chiefs than Braves and those Chiefs believe they know more than any Brave.
Give a person a label and a beast is formed.
What is just as bad is people giving themselves labels that please them.
You know the layout.
I struggle with this everyday. My label is Entitled, and I believe I am entitled to have MY way and get upset when someone gets in my way.

• The person STOPPED at the Stop sign, waiting for some unknown event, to me, for them to proceed.
• The slooooow driver in front of me - especially when they are texting.
• The manager type person hindering my progress to bless our department.

Actually, I am FINALLY arriving at the intersection of Revelation. I do not fit anywhere and am not entitled to anything. I have been following a personal choice of action most of my adult life, INSTEAD of following the uncomfortable path of design. Oddly, the frustration causing anger propelled me toward this conclusion.
I don't fit in the church format or secular business career environment. Just finished reading a blog, I follow, and recommend it to you.

The Future of Modern Reject by Nicole Cottrell

Ecc 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens:

Nicole is entering her season for her purpose. All of us have a season and purpose and they vary greatly. God knows. I belong IN the Lord's Body - The Church, but do not fit well with the Earthly format/structure. Some having experienced similar problems became discouraged and 1st-left their Earthly assembly, then 2nd-left God.

You and I and our neighbor are not required to believe everything the same. Some processes have to be agreed on by all for the common good:

• obeying traffic lights and signs
• obeying speed restrictions on public roads
• salvation requirements
• respecting other's property rights
• etc.

My wife and I enjoy traveling nationally and internationally AND realize discomforts and inconveniences are part of the package. Different cultures, geography, architecture, add to our ability to understand and relate to others. Our ability to pursue these dreams have often been hindered by poor decisions but they are all possible while we breathe.

Our United States of America is a wonderful country of diversity. With a few exceptions, we can visit almost every international culture characteristic within this country. People give up much to come to America for the freedoms and opportunities available here.

With all we have, my wife and I still find ourselves drawn to other places and I have always wanted to speak multiple languages. Speaking a language does not automatically include the cultural feelings like living in the source of that language. I will never BE a Turkish, Spanish, Italian or Greek native and obviously will never have the true psychological grasp of being a native, learned this from missionaries.

YET, attempting to learn and speak another person's language endears yourself to them.

WOW! This Is Believeable!

The more we listen and question and stay attentive, some speculations give way to truth. I enjoy the History, Science and Discovery Series. Past blogs included my questions about our current Industrial Age and the apparent absence of technology in past civilizations.

Ecclesiastes 1
King James Version (KJV)
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Luke 12

King James Version (KJV)
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
The Sciences have discovered or rediscovered laws, principles, and methodologies for use in constructions, medical processes, farming, etc. Intelligence and thinking are a natural part of every creature on Earth. Knowledge can come from this process or external sources.

When one is within a building or a forest, that person's paradigm is strongly influenced by the immediate sounds, visuals and restraints. Once that person is able to exit and rise above the environment, their knowledge is altered but not necessarily increased. They see how their building and the trees and vegetation connects and interacts with other structures but they may not have immediate increased knowledge how the city and park were built and maintained.

Records of flying vehicles, intelligent people of extraordinary abilities, equipment and weaponry exist in every major mature civilization. Extraordinary structures were built with outside help. Since no tools were found, modern experts declare the most primitive and absurd explanations. Miraculous healing has been treated the same.

It seems, to me, WE may be the primitives compared to past peoples accomplishments. Reading and listening to accounts of help from the "gods" what becomes obvious is the "gods" have always been highly interested in Earth and us. "They" want the Earth maintained and expect us to keep it in shape for our and their use. For example:

Genesis 1
King James Version (KJV)
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 re·plen·ish: verb

1.      to make full or complete again, as by supplying what is lacking, used up, etc.: to replenish one's stock of food.  2. to supply (a fire, stove, etc.) with fresh fuel.  3. to fill again or anew.

sub·due: verb
1.      to conquer and bring into subjection: Rome subdued Gaul.  5. to bring (land) under cultivation: to subdue the wilderness.

 Genesis 2

King James Version (KJV)
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

 Dress: noun 

4. a particular form of appearance; guise.

Guise: noun 
1. general external appearance; aspect; semblance: an old principle in a new guise.

Keep: verb
1. to hold or retain in one's possession; hold as one's own: If you like it, keep it. Keep the change.  2. to hold or have the use of for a period of time: You can keep it for the summer. 4. to maintain (some action), especially in accordance with specific requirements, a promise, etc.: to keep watch; to keep step. 
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
  Although, many components of non-Judaic Christian religions seem like fiction, there are similarities that appear realistic, such as; visitation by extraterrestrials, diverse aircraft, supernatural events and activities, complex buildings of precision assembly, conveying knowledge well beyond their natural capacity for nutrition and government. It seems the only requirement, was for the population to submit to the will of the visitors.

God/Extraterrestrials/Ancient Astronauts (you pick your comfort term) exist in a permanent realm open to us and are willing to pass knowledge, blessing, wisdom, insight for our advance, promotion, progress HERE as prep for THERE.

17 TRILLION + 1 TRILLION EACH YEAR =

Instead of explaining, I am adding excerpts from public sources. If you are interested, then reading/studying/meditating on this information may sober you. It did me.

David Malpass: The Bigger Battle Behind the Shutdown

A staggering $250 billion per month, 80% of spending, runs on autopilot without congressional control.

Excerpt: By David Malpass 
Oct. 9, 2013 7:58 p.m. ET

At its core, the shutdown is part of a much bigger battle to restrain the federal government. It is spending $3.6 trillion per year without a budget, and its expenditures are expected to increase rapidly in the years ahead.

Meanwhile, the government has piled up $17 trillion in debt and $60 trillion more in unfunded spending promises. The Federal Reserve will borrow $1.1 trillion in 2013 alone to buy bonds—and it reserves the right to borrow unlimited amounts for future bond purchases without congressional or presidential permission…

Rather than discuss restraint, the administration has increasingly turned to the Federal Reserve as a crutch. The Fed is borrowing and spending $85 billion per month on bonds, and it claims the legal authority to increase its debt at will. Wall Street is intensely focused on supporting this profligacy and profiting from it. The Fed's debt will reach $4 trillion at year-end, with at least $200 billion of it not counted properly in the national debt.

The Fed is choosing to buy long-term bonds with short-term debt. The result is a rapid shortening in the effective maturity of the national debt that benefits current politicians but puts taxpayers at risk. Like an adjustable-rate mortgage, the borrower, in this case the government, gets a lower interest rate now but will have to refinance at higher rates later…

One TRILLION+ dollars (bogus currency[bogus=not backed by gold]) added to our economy each year. 

Hidden Secrets of Money ep3 Mike Maloney YouTube has visuals with greater impact than words have. All four episodes are worth watching.

Our economy is joining the other nations for a global crash. Fortunately, Most of the populated U.S. can support gardens, farms, dairies, and vineyards. BUT, the cities can't and those that do not know how to farm may get antsy.
I often hear ministers declare a Great Revival for our Country and I suspect they do not know the costs of this pending spiritual awakening. The beautiful buildings and proper services are not going to slap this country awake like a catastrophic DEPRESSION will.

I KNOW what it is like to go bankrupt and how long I delayed it by manipulating credit, money, accounts, checks. Finally, finally, finally, because I WOULD NOT STOP MYSELF, I could not pay the interest any more, my income stopped and DEFAULT!

Our government is spending money they are making and it is not backed by any standard. I realize AND understand why my grocery basket is not as full but costs as much. The currency I have is not worth what it was 6 months ago.

Well, Jesus, here we are in a place not of our making and we ask for direction and instructions how to live.

MY DAD...

I just realized, this is the only picture I have reminding me of the man I called Dad.
Lowell Wayne Ware

• Musically Talented: played two types of Guitar and Harmonica
• Spiritually Gifted: Dreams that saved his and others lives, saw Angels, believed God, read Bible every day, prayed often 
• Son, Brother, Husband, Father
• Dairy Man, Pipe Fittter, Hard Worker
• Troubled, Conflicted, Back Slider
• Dad loved nice cars, beautiful women(all of them), any thing outdoors
• Died a lonely, divorced, alcoholic drunk, worrying about his children

I always treated him with respect and responded with Sir in conversations. He was a source of my love of music, trust in God, hard work ethic and frustration. I gradually overcame his negative influences. He gave me wonderful advice, at the correct time, that helped my marriage and eventual return to church and God.

Irony??

His advice about marriage, how to live, God and parenting always worked for me, even though, he would not attend church, could not stay married and drove his children away. His Headstone is an interesting symbol of his sad troubled life.

37 years ago, my dad died in an elevator between floors in a hospital getting treatment for alcohol related issues. 37 years after he left this life, I still think of him and finally am remembering his positives.

Oct 21, 1976

 

Well, Dad, the positives stuck and produced great results. Thank you.

 

PS: I decided to update your marker with a much nicer one similar to your father and mother's. It will be from your children to you.

The "Gods" Don't Do It For Us Anymore - We ARE HUMAN!!!

An attribute of human progress became glaringly obvious to me recently. Now think about this.

I mean - S T O P and T H I N K.

 

Ancient Aliens, Modern Marvels, History Channel, Military Channel. People wrote and said the Gods told them to Write This, Build This, Stay Here, Go There, and the people did. Each civilization recorded contact with Extraterrestrials/Gods/Advanced People from the Stars - Specific Stars.

 

Structures, Math, Architecture, Agriculture, Science, Government.

 

Our current (I'll skip the adjectives) Scientific and Government community denies what thousands of people have seen and recorded. They boldly claim to know everything about everything until they agree they really did not know. Their program is to educate everyone else that nothing and no one visited our Earth - E V E R. They also want us to believe absurd stories of how Easter Island, Egyptian Pyramids, Mayan Temples, etc. were built.

 

If I am understanding History, regarding Earth's environment, everyone took care of Earth until the Industrial Age. WE ARE SYSTEMATICALLY:

• Killing animals to distinction (so we can wear them),
• Killing our water, air, ground,
• Over populating AND populating every piece of ground available,
• Trashing Earth Orbits, the Moon, Mars, etc.
• Consuming every natural resource without replenishment.

What now, seems obvious, TO ME, is an Industrial Genus emerged approximately,3000 years ago that decided they no longer needed or wanted any God or Gods.


1 Samuel 10:17-19 (circa 1079 BC – 1007 BC)
King James Version (KJV)
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh; 18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: 19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands.

Matthew 27:16-25
King James Version (KJV)
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.  19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Industrialization: The First Phase

• Most products people in the industrialized nations use today are turned out swiftly by the process of mass production, by people (and sometimes, robots) working on assembly lines using power-driven machines. People of ancient and medieval times had no such products. They had to spend long, tedious hours of hand labor even on simple objects. The energy, or power, they employed in work came almost wholly from their own and animals' muscles. The Industrial Revolution is the name given the movement in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacture.

The following excerpt has an interesting and tragic contradiction:

• It is almost impossible to imagine what the world would be like if the effects of the Industrial Revolution were swept away. Electric lights would go out. Automobiles and airplanes would vanish. Telephones, radios, and television would disappear Most of the abundant stocks on the shelves of department stores would be gone. The children of the poor would have little or no schooling and would work from dawn to dark on the farm or in the home. Before machines were invented, work by children as well as by adults was needed in order to provide enough food, clothing, and shelter for all.

The children of the poor in developing nations,

• still have little or no education,
• work abusive hours in abusive conditions to provide inexpensive goods for profit hungry Western nations,
• work by children and adults are still needed to survive.

Excerpts from Industrial Revolution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

• The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to some time between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power and the development of machine tools. It also included the change from wood and other bio-fuels to coal. It began in England and within a few decades had spread to Western Europe and the United States.
• The Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in history; almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way. In particular, average income and population began to exhibit unprecedented sustained growth...
• …Economic historians are in agreement that the onset of the Industrial Revolution is the most important event in the history of humanity since the domestication of animals and plants.

About 300 years ago The End of Earth began.

 

We have Front Row Seats!!

 

Well...My Thoughts Are About Me. Today.

Several decades ago, I became dependent on Alcohol as an emotional pain reliever. It helped my shyness by lessening inhibitions, eased emotional pain from abusive memories and diminished personal fears of failure. Since this dependency did not include healing, the need grew worse.

Of course, I embraced friends with the same needs and we validated each other. Often, during times of recall and reflection, I/we would wonder out loud about our conditions; Alcohol, drugs, obsessive or eccentric behavior, pathological work ethics, unreasonable demands for perfection.

We had responsible positions, security clearances, some had family, various levels of education and financial security. Each week included some degree of mental or physical incapacity, due to our addictions, while we worked, drove vehicles or flew aircraft.

Late in my twenties, I gave myself to God with the incumbent life changes. B.U.T. the pain remained. WAIT! I thought All things were new?? Approximately, thirty more years before emotional healing would be complete, eradicating the pain but leaving the memories. I replaced alcohol with prayer, incessant Bible study, fasting, volunteering for every good event or activity.

Occasionally, walking my life's path, a thought or answer would shift my paradigm. Diverse events stretched, pressed and wrung me physically, spiritually and emotionally and though the need for my previous pain reliever did not return, the fear of it remained. Retirement brought an unexpected benefit in the form of TIME. FINALLY...Time to Stop and Think, Meditate, Contemplate. A poor decision left me financially restricted aiding the TIME element. History records various people making time to rest, be alone, to meditate in a desert, by a lake, in a forest.

Advice given to others resurfaced and gradually put to rest most of those troubling memories. With the demise of those memories went the ache and FEAR of returning to destructive habits. I:

• Enjoy a glass of wine.
• Forgot about the half bottle of Jack Daniels my wife used for cooking and stored in the pantry, two years ago.
• Accepted and enjoyed a Fantasy Drink of Rum, boarding our cruise ship, without thinking about it again the remaining week.

Repentance, Remission of sins, Internal baptism of the Spirit of God is not a cure all, it is a rebirth. Children are often born with illnesses or deformities caused by improper activities of the parents. The birth of the child did not remove the issues, and neither does our Rebirth. The life change does begin our "regrowth" into new adult hood.

Connye and I began our New Lives as Husband and Wife, with previous histories, with the subsequent development incurred with any dramatic lifestyle alteration.

• Respect each other's rights and feelings -
• Permit mistakes, errors, misjudgments -
• Patient development -
• Love for each other confirmed frequently -
• Express Faith in each other -

Recently, I recalled our wedding vows and considered we had the option to reword the standard commitment verbiage. After all, we were not children starting our first run and we could have personalized our specific gifts to each other. I should have replaced the obeying and submitting stuff with the bulleted points above.

I am 67 and finally FEEL like a reasonably healthy, mature-with-purpose, adult prepared to live and enjoy the rest of our lives. We have great siblings, wonderful children with precious grandchildren and a loving God caring for us.

What more could we want?? Nothing!

I Feel The Joy, Already!!!

Psa 37:23  The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:

Psa 37:24  though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.

Psa 37:25  I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:

Psa 37:34  Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it .

Psa 37:37  Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace;

Psa 37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

Psa 37:40  And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.

I am 67 years old and have experienced extreme positive and negatives because of personal decisions and because life is like this. The previous scriptures were once just words in a book but gradually gained life and credibility as I experienced them.

During those times, I have had the “fortune” to listen to self-righteous insecure people proclaim their goodness and perfection as “others” attended the school of hard knocks. You may have experience this same “privilege” also. Occasionally, I have experienced the pleasure of seeing behind the scenes to hear and see the desperate struggles of those “privileged ones”.

My goal, here, is to encourage you to stay faithful to God, yourself, your family and friends and:

·       Eventually that rich fertile valley will be yours,

·       You will visit the resorts of mountain tops to see unparalleled beauty without limit,

·       You will enjoy the serenity of knowing you and your family are taken care of.

Faithful, good people have experienced darkness lasting decades before their dawn came but it did come. Always remind yourself, there is a rich fertile land after the desert, a bright morning after the night.

I thought I knew what the terms “faithful people” or “perfect life” meant but as I age, my understanding of those terms changed and truer definitions gained value with me. I know faithful people and a faithful God and, for me, this makes a perfect life.

The challenges and fears I am experiencing now will make great testimonies in my future as God restores my name and reputation. Ummmmm, I feel the joy already.

Bless your day and life, then enjoy both.
