September Peace Deal

[Reborn]

Folks, I just wanted to post a little reminder to keep especially close to the Lord (in other words, prayer and repentance) during the coming days as we draw closer to Rosh Hashanah. Because of 1 Thess. 5:3 my spiritual ears always perk up whenever one of these peace deal agreements draws nigh. The media is saying that President Obama is going to announce a plan (with some kind of deadline) in September. I'm not saying that at this time the Covenant will be strengthened, btw. Nevertheless, it IS a peace deal announcement if it does indeed happen. I know we've seen plans and deadlines come and go in the past, but that doesn't give us license to go lukewarm about them or Him either now or in the future. I believe Judgment is coming to the Church (1 Peter 4:17) soon, very possibly next month if not before. Therefore, I caution us all to be sure to spend time in prayer and humility before our Father and His Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. Let us remember to forgive one another also. I just believe that September is going to be a big month spiritually speaking. Time will tell.

Thanks for your reminder, Reborn. Blessings.

1967 thru 2009 is 42 years, then 7 years of tribulation, followed by the Lords return and Jubilee (49 years, then the year of Jubilee in which the land is returned to the rightful owner)
--Rosh Hashanah this year is the Jewish New Year for 2010 (SEP 19, 20, 21 depending in what part of the world you live). The trib could start the day after Rosh Hashanah is over.
--The 64th UN general assembly starts on Sep 15, but arguements to issues do not start until Sep 22, the day after Rosh Hashanah, and Israel is the biggest issue being discussed.
--Will we see the rider on the white horse begin to ride the day after Rosh Hashanah? If there is a pre-trib rapture maybe we wont be here to see it

I personally think that there will be a peace deal - that is not the Antichrist confirming of the covenant - to set up the conditions for Gog/Magog. I look for Gog/Magog to happen next fall. Immediately after which, the Antichrist will confirm the Mt Sinai covenant for a period of seven years. Right now, we can only speculate what is the nature of the 7 years, but IMO it will have to be a visible part of the deal - because in the middle of the seven years he breaks the covenant - which means that the 7 year factor has to be visible up front.

It just seems that these days everything is in fast-forward. Our government is quickly becoming Socialist and major nations of the world are calling for 1 Currency. I think the World will be divided up into 10 mega states soon.... I wonder if we'll be going home soon.

Lets not leave out the persecution that is coming. Christian fundamentalists are being equated with the village idiot. In this man`s word`s, our faith is based solely on denying what is fact;

I'm afraid that this will quickly become a very mainstream view and will marginalize anyone who espouses any of the beliefs of God's word.

"I am a churchgoing Christian..." ???

The author of the book "Crazy for God" is Francis Schaeffer's son! Wow his father would be heartbroken over this.

Some comments from the video for those who can't or didn't watch it

"a village can not reorganize village life to suit the village idiot, it's as simple as that. Look we have a village idiot in this country, it's called fundamentalist Christianity"

(fundamentalist Christians) are a group of people who are resentful because they know they've been left behind by modernity, by science, by education, by art, by literature. The rest of us are getting on with our lives, these people are standing on a hilltop waiting for the end.

According to Schaeffer we are

"beyond crazy, in la,la land, a cult, lack intelligence, an evangelical subculture that has rotted the brain of the united states of America, who reject facts as a matter of faith.

The premise of his book is saving Christianity from the Christians.

Lest you think this kind of thinking is not mainstream- let me quote for you an editorial from my local newspaper- this last week someone wrote in to say:

I applaud the Rev. Larry Eastlack of Oakfield Methodist Church for having the moral courage to speak out in support of gay marriage in the letter to the Buffalo News. For someone in his position it is exemplary.
Even Jesus knew that many people are willing to keep silent, for fear of being labeled or guilty by association.
The Re. Mark Perkins and the Rev. Bill Smith and their so-called biblical stand effectively ended a 25-year joint worship service. One wonders if they stand behind everything the Bible has advocated in the past?
Look around the world and see the misery that simple failure to compromise brings. Is this part of God's plan? If some churches have attendance problems or difficulty reaching the masses, a look at some of their rigid conservative views might be appropriate.

Here's a link to what prompted this editorial

The true church is in a battle for survival, stay the course, follow Christ. Mr. Schaeffer says he attends a christian church- well my guess is that it is in name only.

Wow... now this is a person who doesn't understand what a church is for. A church is supposed to compromise? Did Jesus compromise or 11 of the 12 who gave their lives for the testimony of Jesus? I guess only certain sins that Jesus died for should be disqualified as sins, by way of a church committee, so that we can "get more people in". Yikes. The church is for the called out ones, not for the world.

Thanks for the video. One word "physco". IMO. However, in the general sense, a person does have to be on guard not to let the media personalities more often than not inflammatory rhetoric get you all worked up into a frenzy. That is what both sides are trying to do. Sway public anger in a certain direction. I don't watch Rachael Madow and Keith Oberman for that reason.

What I found interesting was Frank Schaeffer's comment regarding that some Christians suspect that Barack Obama is the Antichrist. Why is he going to such efforts to discredit those persons? Makes me wonder. I didn't hear him make one biblical argument of why Barack Obama is not the Antichrist.

Maybe Mr. Obama has aspirations higher than be the President of the United States. Maybe that is why he had not released the birth certificate at this time. Perhaps he wants to be removed as President of the United States at a critical time - and have the world make him global President - no wait a minute - make that Czar in charge of global affairs, Czar coming from the word Caesar.

Well, Obama is not Jewish. That pretty much rules him out. It it turns out that some how, his mother is Jewish and did not know it because it got lost in the family tree. Then Obama would technically be a candidate IMO. There are still other things ruling him out, and that is he doesn't know enough about Judaism, nor practice it, for the Jews to embrace him as their messiah.

I would like to encourage a continued time for prayer for the next couple of weeks if I may. There seems to be a real desperation connected with this peace process right now. I'm guessing we're going to see the negotiations kick off soon, but whether they begin or not, it seems like many things are "tightening up" spiritually speaking with many Believers suffering greatly at this time. Please pray for me (very poor health) and my lost loved ones too. God bless you all, and thank you.

Biblically, where does it state that the Anti-Christ has to be Jewish?
