More Stage-Setting for Gog-Magog

bible-prophecy-today.blogspot.com

An interesting development, although at cursory glance seems of little importance, brings thoughts of what might come to be. Even the most innocuous of events in these times of stage-setting for fulfillment of Bible prophecy in the Middle East warrant a closer look.

When a Saudi prince says that sanctions on a feared fellow Islamic state enemy, Iran, aren’t working, so something stronger should be done, the declaration makes one wonder why this statement is made for public consumption. Iran is indeed Saudi’s enemy. Many within Islam have long wanted the Saudi royal family dethroned and replaced with their own dictatorships. Iran is the strongest of the Islamic states, both in military strength and in desire to dominate that Middle Eastern world. Fulfilling such Iranian desires would necessitate the overthrow of Saudi royalty, so the Saudis are taking notice. Those facts alone should stand by themselves to point to the dangers presented by Mideast volatility.

However, being observers of these things from the perspective of Bible prophecy, we look deeper to find meanings. This is especially important to do since so many stage-setting issues and events now line up on the biblically prophetic horizon.
Therefore it was with observer’s antenna raised that I homed in with fascination upon the few words of one of the Saudi spokesmen in a news item. The report said that the spokesman for Saudi Arabia expressed doubt that further sanctions against the Iranian regime’s determination to continue with its nuclear development program would do any good…more…

Wis. Presbytery Approves Ordination of Openly Gay Man

www.christianpost.com

In a closed meeting, a regional body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Saturday voted to ordain a partnered homosexual.
John Knox Presbytery commissioners voted 81-25 to approve the ordination of Scott D. Anderson, who set aside his ordination in 1990 when he was outed.

Anderson was ordained in the PC(USA) by the Sacramento Presbytery in 1983. He pastored Bethany Presbyterian Church for seven years until two members of the congregation publicly announced that he was gay.

In 2006, Anderson sought to be ordained again as a PC(USA) minister after the General Assembly – the denomination’s highest governing body – approved an authoritative interpretation of the church constitution that would allow gay and lesbian candidates for ordination to conscientiously object the ban against partnered homosexuals. The local ordaining body would discern whether the declared objection is disqualifying.

The denomination’s constitution states that clergy must live in “fidelity within the covenant of marriage between and a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness.”

Saturday’s meeting was the final examination of Anderson. He had requested that his current ministry as executive director of the Wisconsin Council of Churches be validated by the presbytery. The approval by John Knox Presbytery leaders means Anderson will return to ordained ministry after a 20-year hiatus.

Anderson told The Presbyterian Outlook that he was surprised by the wide margin of approval and believes the vote gives hope to other gay and lesbian candidates for ministry…more…

In Ancient Wall, Scholar Sees Proof For Bible

news.yahoo.com

An Israeli archaeologist said Monday that ancient fortifications recently excavated in Jerusalem date back 3,000 years to the time of King Solomon and support the biblical narrative about the era.

If the age of the wall is correct, the finding would be an indication that Jerusalem was home to a strong central government that had the resources and manpower needed to build massive fortifications in the 10th century B.C.

That’s a key point of dispute among scholars, because it would match the Bible’s account that the Hebrew kings David and Solomon ruled from Jerusalem around that time.

While some Holy Land archaeologists support that version of history — including the archaeologist behind the dig, Eilat Mazar — others posit that David’s monarchy was largely mythical and that there was no strong government to speak of in that era.

Speaking to reporters at the site Monday, Mazar, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, called her find “the most significant construction we have from First Temple days in Israel.”

“It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction,” she said.

Based on what she believes to be the age of the fortifications and their location, she suggested it was built by Solomon, David’s son, and mentioned in the Book of Kings.

The fortifications, including a monumental gatehouse and a 77-yard (70-meter) long section of an ancient wall, are located just outside the present-day walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, next to the holy compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. According to the Old Testament, it was Solomon who built the first Jewish Temple on the site…more…

World War III is Being Staged, Starting With Israel and Iran

US “leadership” and their corporate media minions are pushing juvenile-level propaganda for war with Iran; lies that anyone can verify with a few moments’ attention. If you haven’t already confirmed the Orwellian-level disinformation, stop and read the above two links now.

Many people hypothesize the confirmed lies for wars with Iraq and Afghanistan, and a final war with Iran, is to control oil. Connected is the theory that US political and economic “masters” are so confident in their propaganda, and so correct in their conclusion that the critical mass of humanity is too feeble to stop them, that they brazenly move forward for global hegemony.

This article provides a different explanation of the facts; with heightened urgency to prevent war with Iran, as it is a planned step to begin a Third World War.

Project Camelot is a world-renowned safe-haven for whistle-blowers on the inside of the military and economic “Big Lies” that millions of Americans are discovering. Below is Bill Ryan’s video explanation of his interview with a vetted British military insider discussing the planning of manipulated global war (transcript here).

The highlights from Bill Ryan in five bullet-points and nine paragraphs:

• There is a planned Third World War, which will be nuclear and biological. Our source believes that this is on track to be initiated within the next 18-24 months.

• It is planned to begin with a strike by Israel on Iran. Either Iran or China will be provoked into a nuclear response. After a brief nuclear exchange, there will be a ceasefire. The world will be thrown into fear and chaos – all carefully engineered.

• The extreme state of tension will be used to justify heavy social and military controls in all western first world nations. Plans are already in place for that…more…

Establishing a Global Spirituality

“What is needed is a shift in consciousness commensurate with the shift to a global society… emphasize global interdependence… Explore a major shift in belief systems with regard to our children and our future.”

“As we look for answers [to saving the planet], more and more peoples are looking at the  traditional peoples of the planet…. This is Indian history… our spiritualism, and we want to share it with the world.”

“The group was now complete, the solidarity circle perfect… Twelve of them ready to be made one, waiting to come together, to be fused, to lose their twelve separate identities in a larger being….  Tirelessly… the drums beat… “Come, Greater Being, Social Friend…”

Peter stared at his contribution to a large scale mural of the earth.  He had stopped for a moment to join a group of elementary students participating in a two-day art project called “Weaving the World Together”.  Like the others, Peter had chosen two distant parts of the world, then connected them with a piece of string.  The message behind the project was obvious–it had already been drilled into his mind through multicultural and environmental teaching in his school: all the people and nations of the world are interconnected. All are joined together into one big global family.

From Peter’s neck dangled a new amulet, a symbolic object traditionally worn as protection against evil spirits.  He had just made it in a workshop called “Tribal Neck Ornaments” which promised to teach students how to design their own “personal amulets.”  Standing nearby, Peter’s mother was carefully balancing the products of two previous workshops: a bright, feathery Amazon Rain Forest Bird and a grotesque tribal mask.

Earth Day had come and gone, but students from every elementary school in Sunnyvale,  California, were still honoring Mother Earth and her indigenous people.  At the annual Hands on the Arts Festival, which demonstrates the planned nationwide partnership between schools and communities, children could choose between 42 workshops teaching native art and rituals.  Through tempting titles like “Indian Totem Poles,” “Chinese Dragons,” “South India Dances,” and “African Drumming,” the environmentally and politically correct expressions of the world’s beliefs and practices beckoned, “Come… try… experience….”

The students loved it.  They wore their personalized Mexican Spirit Beads.  They designed their own American Indian Dreamcatchers, mystical spider webs inside sacred circles which supposedly would block bad dreams and welcome good dreams. They made Medicine Shields, Indian shields that identify and host their personal animal spirits.  They created Panamanian “mythical figures and animals” and hugged their Southwest Indian “magical figures.”

Oblivious to the occult dangers, they celebrated the return of the rhythms, rituals and religions that once animated cultures from Norway to Africa and Alaska to Australia. Multicultural things are fun!  Why shouldn’t the world be one?…more…
