Lesson on Radicalism

Lesson on Radicalism

By Dawn Dale

I have frequently fought the conceptual basis of democratic thought and I now find it a deep struggle to embrace members of the Democratic Party. Wanting to change my stance, I'm fighting to grasp something that will open the door to reach the heart of the democratic person, not just the party.

Homosexuality is wrong.

Dead wrong.

Abortion is wrong.

D__d wrong.

I've prayed and asked, "Is there a clue, Lord, that will get to this deeply, morally wrong emphasis?"

Yes, I know Jesus is the answer and I hold the keys . . . but. . . where do I make these keys fit in the theology of the Democratic thought processes?

It's like a painful joint that struggles to move. I have to practice this, or I'll lose the opportunity to bring those in this deep darkness to the Light.

You'll lose the opportunity, Lord, because I'm your instrument. I know the ramifications. As a chosen one, it's not up to me to make them see my pain. It's up to me to look upon their pain and it's mine to seek the Healer of men's hearts on behalf of their pain.



Please take my hand, reader. I'm going to try to walk alongside them. That's what Jesus does for me. Take a first step with me...



It's scary, "Oh, I'm slipping. . . but, no, I find firm footing, here. "

What? My eyes . . . something is funny. . . not quite right? It all looks different when I look with their eyes. Such a scary world. Frightful!

Everything really is against me. . . er . . . uh. . . against them.

"Because I have no hope, I have to create my own!" That's what I'm sensing is in the heart of those I'm trying to walk alongside of.

These eyes are quite difficult, Lord, because I have Hope and I have You. It's because of this hope that I embark on this exposition. Cause my reader to seek instruction that offers life. These words may bring anger, initially, but, ultimately, they bring life.


The heart of many in the Democratic Party does not have Hope, and they're forced to defend against any who would come against them.

Even a baby?

How threatened they must feel! "Lord, provide a real answer to this false insecurity. "

When I step back into the world You've created for me, Lord, I want to protect the one who might, just might, one day come against me.

Even a baby.

What threat they feel, Lord. I'm beginning to see.

They even distort their defense to cover one who has no moral ground to stand on. They know the homosexual has no ground to stand on, so they stretch their defense in the cause of one who will offer no resistance. For lack of resistance and self control has led these poor ones to a weak and debacled state.

Homosexuality and abortion are a covering that masks the real issue and heart of the Democratic person. They lack strength to stand against these issues that diabolically oppose the well being of our nation. Homosexuality and abortion are actually weak causes because their outcome is self destruction. One who lacks strength to stand against such weak causes illuminates their weakness and disqualifies their leadership capacity. Therefore, weakness is the root cause of the Democrat, but, it's to preserve weakness that they fight.



Lord, when I step back into my world, I see that my fight is also for the weak.

To annihilate it.

To stamp it out. To not only place the one who is weak into God, but to see God become alive in this weak one. This is the place weakness should lead us to. This is the harmony of life, if you will. We are weak, He is strong.

The one who is in a weakened state becomes prey for . . .

Do you see it?

They become prey for those who will exploit their weakness. Hiding behind the causes of homosexuality and abortion , Democrats mask their own weakness. They masquerade as champions of these causes, yet, they are actually promoting themselves. All the while, those adherents of these unprincipled lifestyles suffer for lack of truth that gives life.

I try to take a gentle approach, but, I find my anger entering this dialogue. I hear that homosexuality and abortion are their cause, but, the real cause of the Democratic Party is weakness that seeks covering from these "causes".

Democratic thought fears that which is within its own heart---weakness.



Don't we all!???

While some of us respond to our own weaknesses (infirmity, if you will) with the seeking to hold the Hand of One much stronger, yet much more tender, some of the democratic persuasion react to their own weakness with protectiveness. Defensive opposition is the result of this protectiveness. Inside this fragile shell is a deep-rooted fear that has never been faced. It's the fear that "I'm as weak as I really think I am".

Yes, while some of us respond to our weakness by seeking to hold the strong Hand of our Loving Heavenly Father, we face our weakness. Isn't that the basics of the basics of this life; we are weak, He is strong. There is not a deeper truth, there is not a more noble road, my Christian Friend. Face weakness. Face it! From that point of contact, we can reach out to others. We are humbled by our weakness and God's strong hand. Humble persuasion should be the result of this confrontation of weakness. If we are changed by this encounter with ourselves, our weakness, and our God, we remain lost and weak unless we seek to persuade others for and toward God.


Can we please persuade, now?

The issues of homosexuality and abortion loom larger than they have the right to. Again, the core issue of Democrats is weakness and in gentle strength, we who are spiritual ought to restore such ones as these to health and good works. It is no more difficult than that. The ramifications of allowing homosexuality and abortion to have free reign in the political realm puts us all in jeopardy. These two issues have a greater global effect than many we see in the daily news. I believe these are greater problems than those of nuclear emissions or terrorism, because they erode us from the inside out.

Can I justify these statements?

The issues that Democrats have hidden behind, in their own weakness, of abortion and homosexuality cause the affront of America to be viewed as one of arrogance. We have placed ourselves above God, in the mind of radicalism, because we have deemed it our right to tolerate that which God hates. Nothing justifies the demonstration of radicalism, but, maybe we can learn a bit about what really is behind the hatred for America and the heart of this extreme ideology.

You see, I don't think it's necessarily our wealth, technology, or even our political stratosphere that radicalism is against. If we look with rose colored glasses, we convince ourselves that we are hated by radicalism because we are good and we arrive at this conclusion because we are wealthy. Technologically advanced.

If we take off those rose colored glasses, I believe we will see that radicalism hates us because we are immoral. In my understanding, immorality is seen as arrogance by these extreme ideologies.

It may be just a stone's throw away---the distance between us.

Our own social debauchery (i.e. homosexuality and abortion) may be what frightens radicalism, not so much because they see our freedom to tolerate these immoral concepts, but because they see the leadership of America is being eroded.

Radicalism needs America to continue to be a leader. Radicalism fears its own power and recognizes that self destruction is also their end when their power goes unchecked. A strong America can keep boundaries around radical ideology. A strong America, yes, with its many allies, can reign in radical ideology and place it in the position that allows us to benefit from its constructs, not suffer from its destructions.

Perhaps Democratic thought can begin to grasp this summation. Homosexuality and abortion are the decline and the defeat of the Democratic Party. These causes are weakness and they equal the decline and defeat of something much larger that we all love. Democrat, Republican, any salutation we give ourselves within this large, vast heartland and homeland that we call America.

Democratic footing is going to be shaken by this article. We, as Democrats (ah---there I am inside of this Party), don't want to adhere to causes that have no right to destroy us... as a party or as a nation.

Religion! There it is again in the middle of every war.

If that be so, my Democratic friends, may we please take heed to temper our unions with that which truly prospers the heart and soul of the nation. History tells us that questionable unions precede the downfall of great nations. History is a story that we should study.

It's almost too common-sense to allude to it in this intellectual piece; if we support homosexuality and abortion, we annihilate ourselves. It's self hatred that we express. If we truly hate ourselves in this way, radicalism has every right to hate us, as well.

We've invited this hatred, yes, but not for the reasons Democratic thought prevails upon. It's not because of the wealth, technological advances, strong military capability and the arrogance that may be perceived to go along with these things that we are hated. It's because of the erosion of morality in our society that we are perceived of as arrogant. Specifically, it's support of homosexuality and abortion, along with many other moral declines that invite the hatred of radicalism.

We've placed ourselves above God by allowing these behaviors to go rampant and unchecked in our society.

Therefore, yes, religion again. Perhaps there is a reason as to why religion is at the core of all wars. Perhaps we are intended to have something worth fighting for. Perhaps we need justification for our existence in this world.

If we stand up for what is right, I believe we will silence the hatred of radicalism. Our strong military capabilities will not be perceived as frightful contenders on the global scene because the justification for our actions will be more clear. Those of radical theology may have once looked upon America with hopeful eyes, but, now, they are confused by our confused political (and even, sexual) agenda. Our "freedom" (if you insist on calling it that) should not be an occasion of stumbling for others. Hatred of our moral decline is now coupled by fear of our political decline and the decline of our leadership amongst the nations.



This exposition can be summed up in this equation. Decline is the defeat which equals opportunity for extreme radical ideology. By virtue of their support of issues that speak moral decline, the Democratic Party has placed themselves in a cage they can't afford to be placed in. The walls of this cage will collapse on them and, if we're not careful, they will bring down an entire nation with them.



So frequently, blame is placed on the Republican Party for the rise in terrorism. The reality may be that Republicans have bled dearly over wounds brought about by the carelessness of Democratic causes. These causes have greater ramifications than the popular demise of the Democratic Party. Homosexuality and abortion have put the Democratic Party in the limelight, rather than the Democratic Party illuminating these causes. As such, the Democratic Party may have lost on both sides of the issues.



These words prove my friendship with those in the Democratic Party. I have offered instruction, herein, that can produce greater life for this Party. My Democratic friend may have the opportunity to represent me if he or she will cease and desist from representing what are now traditional Democratic thesis. This thesis isn't traditional me. It isn't traditional American. It simply sets up Democrats in their own society; one that is not part of the real America.



In this Light, radicalism may not be that radical. The depth of our well-being depends on us and not the extreme actions of radicalism. This discourse has been staged, before, but it was Democrats casting Republican ideals as the cause of radical hatred for America. The Republican Party has stood before the accuser, silently.

Isn't it time to face facts?



We face our weakness in this article (to a degree). Isn't it time to face the fact that we don't have the right to hide behind causes that the public views as "worse" than ourselves and our self? Selfish protectiveness has caused us to obscure who we really are by promoting the causes of the homosexual and the one who seeks abortion of their own child. We know that the frame of these individuals is weak and, therefore, we've obscured ourselves and hidden behind these.

How depraved and god-awful these causes are in the mind of the public and, therefore, we know we can obscure who we really are in the political realm by hiding behind these causes. We are true cowards who have exploited such weakness.

Please, Democratic friend, I'll call you a brother and a sister if you stand up for who you really are. I can't vote when there's not a real person to vote for. I certainly can't vote for these fabricated causes. I want the chance to vote for who you are. I simply don't want to vote for the depravity of America and the destruction of ourselves.

Own your demise, today, and receive life from this exposition. Radical hatred is not the result of Republican ideals.

Winning the Global War on Terror Through Reduction of Military Forces?

Winning the Global War on Terror Through Reduction of Military Forces?

With concerns that the current instability in Iraq could have a lasting impact in the whole Middle East region, Senators McCain and Lieberman addressed the need for increased US Military presence (more boots on the ground) in Iraq. Many analysts agree that the only chance of curbing the insurgent violence in that region is to bring in additional troops to help out the overworked and understaffed military presence in Iraq:

Warning that failure would be "catastrophic" and spread instability throughout the Middle East, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), on Friday expressed their support for a troop "surge" in Iraq - the plan reportedly being developed by the Bush administration to address growing insurgent violence..."The surge must be substantial, and it must be sustained," McCain said, recommending an increase of four to six brigades, mostly concentrated in Baghdad, which has seen the greatest amount of violence. It could mean an increase of around 20,000 troops. [McCain, Lieberman Support Troop Surge -- 01/05/2007]

Here's the question of the day:  Is it possible/feasible to increase the US Military presence in Iraq as we simultaneously reduce the size of the US Military in order to meet US Defense budgetary constraints? The Reduction of military force via Force Shaping is indeed the current reality. The military is being forced to fight the 'War on Terror' on a Peacetime budget:

In 2004, the Air Force had 372,000 active-duty Airmen. Today, the service has about 347,300. Through force shaping, the goal is to reduce that number by another 31,000 to about 316,000 by fiscal year 2009. In fiscal year 2007 alone, the Air Force has over 5,500 projected officer losses (about 70 percent of the goal) and 16,500 projected enlisted losses (almost 50 percent of the goal). These losses reflect the combination of targeted force shaping and normal attrition, which total over 30,000 each year. [Air Force May Hold Rif Board If Goal Not Met - 5 Jan 2007]

Many individuals, such as analysts, advisors, and military professional organizations, and as far back as the late 1990s have warned against reducing the military force. This warning definitely rings true now, as we are in times of war. The concern of the proposed reduction of troop levels and the need for increased troop numbers and military spending was brought up months before the 2003 invasion of Iraq in the following editorial:

Throughout the 2000 presidential campaign, military leaders and personnel took hope from then Gov. Bush's pledge that "Help is on the way." Military people of all ranks genuinely believed that a Republican administration would bring with it the kind of defense spending they had enjoyed during the years of the Reagan build-up. The universal hope was that the force cuts would be reversed so that an already overworked military could catch its breath and get back to the basics...Add to that litany another serious issue...The refusal by the Bush administration - particularly Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and his aides - to recognize that the current size of the U.S. military is insufficient to carry out the ever-increasing operational taskings in the war against terror and the (much-anticipated) showdown with Iraq.[Rumsfeld Force Cuts Betray the Military Community - November 13, 2002 12:11]

The irony is that prior to September 11, 2001, Congress recognized that the current decrease in Military readiness was being affected partially by increased operations tempo and the number of experienced Airmen getting out of the service:

Decreases in readiness are caused by past under funding of spares, high operations tempo, loss of experienced airmen, and an aging aircraft fleet. [Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Policy: Key Issues in the 107th Congress...Updated February 27, 2001]

The above congressional findings were in part as a result of the concerns brought up during the late 1990s about the decreasing troop levels and inadequate military spending. For Example, the Air Force Association, a professional military organization expressed this concern in their periodical back in 1997:

We believe that thefurther reductions now planned are a big mistake and that they will undermine our professed strategy for national defense. In World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf, the United States severely underestimated the force structure that would be required. We do not know what the penalty may be if we repeat that mistake in the next conflict. The operations tempo and the workload under which military organizations are laboring in peacetime indicates that additional force structure, not less, may be required. Our forces must meet the requirement to cover two major theater wars by shifting nimbly from one conflict to the other. Yet the Administration proposes to cut forces still more, even as demands intensify on the units that remain. [Global Force - November 1997]

Then Defense Secretary William Cohen, back in 1998, saw firsthand how military personnel were impacted by low manning as a result of reduced retention, high operations tempo, and over-utilization of people:

DefenseLINK News: Cohen Visits Georgia Base to Gauge Problems, Morale

Now here is the bottom line: Undermanned military units was already an existing problem during the 1990s. Yes, there was a temporary surge of military personnel after September 11th; however, current troop levels have already been significantly reduced as a result of the ongoing strategic reduction of military forces.  Other than this temporary surge, where is the evidence that the manning problems, as recognized by Congress, was ever rectified?  Although there is a legitimate need to increase troop levels in Iraq, this task will be hampered by military members at home station already having to "do more with less". Despite the existing problem of our military members being over-utilized and undermanned both at home station and at the deployed location, we continue to downsize our military force. What is quite troubling is that we are downsizing our military force while threats from terrorists organizations and rogue states, such as North Korea and Iran, increase.  With members of Congress calling for increased troop levels, what is the justification for the continued reduction of our military forces?

Implications of America's Withdrawal from Iraq

Implications of America's Withdrawal from Iraq

By: Ziv Maor

The Democrats have taken over Capitol Hill, and have a mandate to withdraw American forces from Iraq ASAP. It is likely that in the medium to long term, this move would have great impact on Israel

The elections held in the US last week revolved around a number of issues, but there is no doubt that chief among them was the war in Iraq. For three and a half years, the US army has been mired in Iraq. As may be recalled, the original objective of the war was to find and destroy non-conventional weapons developed by Iraq. But as time went on, it seemed these weapons were removed from Iraq, at some period before the war.

For this reason, and for many others, which we will explore in a different article, the war in Iraq has resulted in a major decline in the popularity of President George W. Bush and the Republicans. The Democrats, who criticize the war in Iraq and call for withdrawal, have won a majority of seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

In light of this, there is a possibility that the geo-strategic situation in the region will change. The Democrats speak of totally withdrawing American forces from Iraq, but have not yet presented a plan as to how they propose to do so. Scenarios range from immediate withdrawal over a short period, to a protracted, calculated move which will take a number of years to withdraw the 200,000 coalition soldiers from Iraq.

Regardless of the question of when the last Western soldier will leave Iraqi soil, Israel must prepare for the day and understand the implications for her.

The Glue Holding Iraq Together

Iraq is composed of three major ethnic groups, located in three different regions of the country. The Kurds, in the north, were the most oppressed ethnic group in the old Iraq. When weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq, President Bush and his supporters stated that the reason for staying in Iraq was to grant liberty to the Iraqi people. Of all the Iraqis, the Kurds are the main beneficiary of this liberty. The Kurdish people are concentrated in an area called Kurdistan, which covers an area from eastern Turkey, western Iran and northern Iraq. The Kurdish people have no independent state, though we can assume they would want one.

The Sunni Arabs are the ruling ethnic group. They are concentrated in the center of the country, including the capital of Baghdad. Saddam Hussein, the former and soon to be executed leader, is Sunni. With the fall of Saddam's reign, the Sunnis were the major force behind the continuing terror within the country, both against coalition forces and Iraqi citizens. The Shiite ethnic group resides in the south of Iraq, including the important port city of Basra. Naturally, the Shiites have strong ties with Iran.

These three ethnicities which comprise the Iraqi mosaic are held together only by the glue of the Western Coalition Forces.

What happens when this glue comes unstuck? Each group would approach foreign forces in order to survive. Therefore, those who stand to lose the most are the Kurds, as they have no support from a major power outside of Iraq. Once the Kurds are no longer relevant, the struggle will be between the Sunni and the Shiites, but it might not be the case. The strongest power supporting the Sunnis is neighboring Saudi Arabia. But Saudi Arabia, which seeks to normalize relations with the US as much as possible, would not easily support the Iraqi Sunnis after they launched such a massive campaign of terror during the war and after it. The Shiites, for their part, are obviously supported by Iran.

Islamic Circles

The Israeli intelligence community uses hierarchical terminology when describing the Arab countries around Israel. Thus, for example, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon are first circle countries. Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Libya are second circle countries. Iran is part of the third circle.

The first important consequence of the coalition withdrawal from Iraq would be the creation of an Islamic territorial contiguity, only separated from Israel by the weak Kingdom of Jordan. Increased Iranian influence, and its control, even if not physical, of events in Iraq might also affect the equilibrium of the Jordanian monarchy. At the same time, as we so painfully learnt in the Second Lebanon War, Iran is sending its tendrils into Lebanon, and has an alliance with Syria.

A non-independent Iraq, with American forces holding it, is a formidable obstacle to Iranian attempts to transport weapons to the forces fighting Israel. If this obstacle is removed, it would be much easier to transport weapons both to the West Bank and to South Lebanon.

Consolidated Campaign

Today, Iran is the unchallenged leader of the Arab war against Israel. Its power is only halted by the Iraqi wedge. Aside from the threat of weapons and knowledge being transferred to terror organizations, a US withdrawal from Iraq might cause a further consolidation of the alliance between Syria and Iran, as well as facilitate Iranian attempts to influence the Iraqi army.

This scenario compels Israel to ready itself for a situation we have not encountered for a long time - an all out war against a regular army. Since the Yom Kippur War, Israel has been waging its wars against semi-military guerilla organizations.

Some military experts believe that in light of the political and strategic changes following the fall of the Soviet bloc, the era of wars between armies has ended. However, recent years have seen changes in Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, that might disprove this theory, and the West might be heading for renewed confrontation with the regular armies of its adversaries.

In this respect, we should understand the historical context of the two types of war - all out war and "sub-conventional" guerilla warfare. Israel's wars have proven to the Arab world, that in conventional warfare, as developed by the West for generations, the Arab nations do not have a chance. Therefore, the Arabs adopted a new model of warfare to promote their strategic position - terror, guerilla warfare, use of civilians as warriors, and shielding themselves behind civilians. The Islamic contempt for human life has only abetted the further enhancement of this process.

However, as the years went by, the Islamic revolution in Iran brought about the evolution of a regular army that has reached a technological level that no other Arab army has ever attained. The fall of the Soviet bloc and unemployment among Soviet military experts has led them to develop new weapons - with support from the Iranian army.

In recent years, the IDF has adapted itself to fighting the Palestinians. Low intensity combat doctrines were developed and implemented, mainly during and following the intifada. If Iraq were to fall and rise again, with Iranian support, the IDF would have to dust off the combat doctrines for all-out war, and train troops and commanders for proficiency in both types of warfare.

Jonathan D. Halevi, of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, revealed in an article he wrote, that the IDF has already begun to implement some of these lessons, amongst them reequipping itself with Merkava tanks, developing a strategic counter to rockets (likely the Nautilus system), expanding reserves training and cancelling the plan for an abbreviated regular service.

The Extreme Scenario: A Collapse of the Moderate Regimes

Israeli peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, are not necessarily peace agreements with the Egyptian and Jordanian peoples. The agreements were signed with the leaders of the countries, because they served their interest of maintaining the stability of their minority regimes.

The gradual erosion of the peace agreement with Egypt is the result of a slow decline in Israel's contribution to the stability of the regime. Egypt is now supported by the US, and therefore allows itself not to enforce some of the passages in the agreement. While the Egyptian leadership maintains a neutral stance towards Israel, the Egyptian people hate Israel and do not bother hiding it. It would suffice to mention the fact that the bestselling books in Egypt, are actually nothing more than Nazi propaganda of World War II vintage, and that surveys paint a rather grim picture of the Egyptian attitude towards Israel. There is no assurance that, should radical Islam grow stronger with Iran's increasing influence, the moderate factors in Egypt, who are no friends of Israel either, would stick to their current strategy or remain in power.

The situation in Jordan is even worse. The Hashemite Kingdom is in fact a minority rule, when the majority in the country is actually Palestinian. Already, Jordan is a ticking time bomb, whose stability must be taken into consideration. With the withdrawal of the US forces from Iraq, forces of the Revolutionary Guard would replace them in the southern Shiite border of Iraq, at the border with Jordan. The Palestinian time bomb in Jordan would start to tick faster.

The impact on the moderate regimes in the first circle threatens, in the most extreme scenario, to return Israel to the situation which prevailed upon its establishment: a nation surrounded by enemies bent on its annihilation.

It is likely that the American leadership is aware of most of the scenarios described here. We can hope that the fact that the President of the United States remains a Republican, will moderate the measure taking shape, and that the American withdrawal will be undertaken in an intelligent fashion, allowing for continued regional stability.

Interesting News from Stephen Yulish: " UFO Digest accepts my article" on "The Upcoming Great Deception"

Interesting News from Stephen Yulish: " UFO Digest accepts my article" on "The Upcoming Great Deception"

The following news was received from Author Stephen Yulish on December 21, 2006. I apologize for the delay in publishing this information. It is quite interesting and refreshing that the UFO community would publish an article on UFOlogy from a Christian Perspective:

On Friday I learned of another miracle that brought tears to my eyes. I told you last week that my recent article "The Upcoming Great Deception"
was accepted for not only Christian websites but also by the UFO Research Center. Well, on Friday, I also learned that it was accepted by the UFO Digest out of Ontario, Canada, a large prestigious UFO, new age, secular Website. The Publisher told me that while he did not agree with my hypothesis, he still felt that his readers might enjoy it. Praise God.
The last paragraph reads:
"If this does eventually turn out to be the case, then people need to wake up now and consider seeking after the one and only true God and Savior of mankind, Jesus Christ, before it is too late and they get left behind to suffer through the days of wrath to come."

This is in a new age publication. Look at it below. One,however, cannot try and bring down the enemies strongholds and not expect retribution. I had a major satanic attack last night and nearly choked to death during dinner. But He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world, 1John 4:4 and I am still here by the grace of God. This just shows me that my hypothesis is correct. Please keep me in your prayers because I will never back down from the preaching the truth of Jesus Christ and the enemies plans for deception.
God Bless,
Stephen
PS they are supposed to also add my picture and a short bio that again mentions Christ!

"The Upcoming Great Deception" By Stephen Yulish

"The Upcoming Great Deception" By Stephen Yulish

The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Ephesus that Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). He also wrote to the Church at Corinth, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3).
What rulers, what powers, what world forces, what fortresses, what speculations, what lofty things, what spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places, are we warring against? It is my firm belief that Satan and all his demonic hordes are preparing to unleash one the greatest deceptions on mankind that ever has been undertaken. This upcoming deception and wickedness in the heavenly places will be as a result of Satans signs and false wonders for those who will perish because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to saved ( 2Thess. 2:9-10). God will send on them a deluding spirit so that they will believe what is false and will be judged (2Thess. 2:11).
What is this great deception? A deception so vast and sinister that it will envelop the entire world in an instant when the last trumpet blows and the Lord descends from the clouds to gather up all the righteous dead and those of us who are alive and are His bride and we will ascend to be with Him in the air (1Cor. 15:52, 1Thess. 4:16-17). Paul called this event the harpazo (original Greek), the catching away (1Thess. 4:17). It became raptiere in the Latin Vulgate and Rapture in English. It is my sincere belief that this deception will be that those left behind will believe that we who were taken, and millions will suddenly disappear, were actually abducted by UFOs rather than have been caught up to be with the Lord in the air. Most people would rather believe in aliens and UFO abductions than in the power of Jesus Christ and in His word, the Bible. The word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Cor. 1:18). People love conspiracy theories and this conspiracy of Satan and his minions is the mother of all conspiracies and is in my humble opinion the truth. Could I be wrong? Absolutely, I could be wrong, because only God knows what will happen, but after years of study and prayer, I believe that this scenario is a very real possibility.
Military aviation historian Trevor James Constable once wrote that the battle with UFOs is not for the planet of man but for the soul of man. There are no more evolved super intelligent aliens out there. The Bible makes it clear that man is the highest form of creation, created in the image of God Himself (Genesis 1:26-27), that He created man for His own glory (Isaiah 43:7), that man was wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that the heavens are the heavens of the Lord but the earth He has given to the sons of man (Psalm 115:16). We are told that all things were created by Christ both in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, thrones and dominions all were created by Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16). We are told to praise the Lord as are the angels, the sun and the moon, the stars, because He established all (Psalm 148), And finally we are told that there is only one God and only one mediator between man and God and that is Jesus Christ (1Timothy 2:5).
Thus we do not need some ET to come and save us from the wrath to come. We do not need some extraterrestrial savior to redeem a fallen mankind when we have Gods first begotten Son who came to earth and died for our sins (John 3:16).
If any more evolved aliens are ever discovered, than throw away your Bible because it is false, but dont count on that ever happening. If these beings ever appear, we will be deceived as to who they really are.
It is amazing that the Bible deals with this popular concept of extraterrestrial entities interacting with mankind. These so called extraterrestrial entities, however, are not from another galaxy but are actually fallen angels from another spiritual dimension who have interacted with mankind before as they went after the strange flesh of human females and produced fallen offspring, the nephilim (Genesis 6:2-4). Doesnt this sound similar to modern day accounts of alien impregnations of humans and hybrid offspring? This is nothing new. This concept is 4000 years old.
God
became angry with these rebellious angels and threw them into the pits of hell forever chained (2Peter 2:4, Jude 6-7) and wiped out their corrupt DNA with the flood (only Noah and his family were pure- Genesis 6:9). But other of these fallen demonic angel spirits have reappeared over time (Numbers
13:33)
and now are preparing for Satans great deception.
How else do you think that it will be explained to the left behind masses that at the twinkling of an eye, suddenly millions of people have disappeared, probably leaving their clothes, glasses, jewelry, hearing aides, pacemakers, contact lenses, artificial hearts, hips, and knees, and even their tattoos behind (1Cor. 15:53, 2Cor. 5:4). Why do you think that our modern technological society is so enamored with aliens and UFOs and close encounters of the third kind? Satan is preparing the masses left behind to believe that we were taken by aliens in UFOs. Fallen angels have no need for spacecraft but it is a modality that modern technological man will understand. Yes, there are UFOs, unidentified flying objects. Yes, there may have been some abductions.
But these are not aliens from another galaxy interacting with mankind but fallen angels setting the trap for the one of greatest deceptions in mankinds history. Satan is the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2) and his dominions control the skies above us and fill our minds with delusions and lies.
There is one more piece to this end time deception puzzle. It also tells us why the harpazo, the Rapture, could not have happened a hundred years ago.
Not
only were there no UFOs or advanced lighter than air craft as we see today but there was no modern day Israel. Isnt it interesting that the famous alleged crash of an alien spacecraft took place at Roswell, NM in 1947 and Israel once more became a nation in May of 1948? When Israel became a nation again, Satan knew that his time was short and the Lord would be returning soon. The countdown to Armageddon had begun in earnest and Satan had to move quickly to brainwash and deceive the masses to believe in aliens and UFOs.
UFO
sightings increased rapidly in the 1950s as did UFO movies and books and magazines. Project Blue Book was set up by the US air force to try and explain the phenomena. While the government was trying to hide the truth from the people to prevent panic, in reality, they were being deceived to believe that these craft/beings were highly advanced aliens rather than fallen angels bent on their demise.
Trevor James Constable again was correct that the battle with UFOs was for the soul of man not the planet of man.
Satan hates the Jewish people because to them belongs the adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, and whose are the fathers and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all (Romans 9:4-5). God used His first born chosen people, the Jews, through the Patriarchs, the Prophets and the Temple, to bring His word and truth to this earth and then sent His Son in a Jewish body to save the world from its sin and spread this through Jewish disciples. Satan hates God and His word and thus hates Jews and Christians. I thus believe that the Rapture (Harpazo) will begin first over Jerusalem and the site of the Temple Mount. The skies will be filled with UFOs and unbelieving Jews, Muslims and Gentiles will be deceived to believe that those who suddenly disappear were abducted by these UFOs.
What a powerful witness it will be, however, when hundreds of secret Jewish believers from the Israeli government and from Rabbinic, Orthodox, and Hassidic groups suddenly disappear and leave their prayer shawls behind. I am weeping as I write this because I know that it will happen. It happened 2000 years ago and I know that it has happened in this age as well. A great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith (Acts 6:7).
Satan knows his time is short because Israel has returned to its land. A land that God gave to Abraham. Isaac and Jacob and their descendants for an everlasting covenant (Genesis 17:7-8. Judges 2:1, Psalm 105:6-11, Jeremiah 31:35-37). From the word of God we know that Christ is to return in His second coming to Israel and a rebuilt Temple (Zechariah 12:10, Daniel 9:27, 2Thess. 2:4). He is not coming to New York City and the UN, or to Rome and the Vatican, or to Salt Lake City and the Mormons or to Belgium and the EU.
Christ
is coming back to Jerusalem, and that is where He and Satan will face off at the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). We furthermore know that Jesus Christ alone will bring peace to that region and to the world (Isaiah 9:6) and that He will rule and reign there for 1000 years from the rebuilt Temple (Revelation 20:4). If Satan will be there, then so will his fallen angels and thus the tie once again between UFOs and Israel.
Satan is currently using the fanatical Muslim jihadists (just as he formerly used the Catholics of the Crusades and the Inquisition and the Lutheran Nazis to kill Jews) to try and stop this from happening but he will never succeed.
He is also bombarding Israel with UFO sightings to set them up for his upcoming great rapture deception. Believe it or not it all fits together.
The
current crisis in the Middle East is a sign that the Lord Jesus is about to come (Luke 21:28), to catch away his people in the Rapture to protect them from the wrath to come during the upcoming days of Jacobs Trouble (Jeremiah
30:7) i.e. Tribulation (Psalm 27:5, Zephaniah 2:3, 1Thess, 1:10, 5:9, Revelation 3:10). It is also a sign that Satan knows that his time is short and that the Second Coming of the Lord will occur just seven years after the Rapture (Daniel 9:27) and so he is trying to deceive as many people as possible to follow him into the lake of fire for eternity (Revelation 20:10).
During the seven year tribulation period between the Rapture and the Second Coming, the entire world will become a living hell and the man of lawlessness (possibly an apostate homosexual Jew with Islamic leanings, (Daniel
11:37)
will appear who will exalt himself above every so called god and takes his seat in the temple of god with the assistance of the fallen angel ETs displaying himself as being God (2 Thess. 2:3-4). Muslims will be deceived and think that it is the return of the 12th Mahdi and Jews will think that is their real Messiah (coming for the first time) but it will actually be the false Messiah, the antichrist (1John 2:22). See my article Armilus: the Jewish Antichrist.
After the catching away into the clouds of the Christians in the Rapture and before Christ returns, a confederation of Islamic nations led by Iran
(Persia)
and Russia (Gog of Magog) will invade Israel (Ezekiel 38-39) with a tank armada. America will have already been brought to her knees by terrorist attacks with WMDs and will not be in a position to help. Isnt it amazing that thousands of years ago the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel saw an alliance between Iran and Russia which has only recently materialized?
I believe that these fallen angels will continue to deceive and even behead
(Revelation 6:9) those left behind who seek Christ.
Beware people of the coming deception. ETs are not aliens from another galaxy but are fallen angels who will not save you from destruction but will instead lead you smiling all the way to hell. After the disappearance of the Christians, a false messiah will come and declare himself to be god, but he will also lead all who follow him to hell as well.
In my end time novels The Great Harpazo Deception: the real story of UFOs and
Invasion: Israel, I tried to create believable stories of this upcoming great deception concerning the sudden disappearance of millions of Christians as well as the horrible period of Tribulation to follow including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, famine and the invasion of Israel by Muslim tanks.
While
my novels are presently only fiction, I sincerely believe that one day they may be non fiction truth.
If this does eventually turn out to be the case, then people need to wake up now and consider seeking after the one and only true God and Savior of mankind, Jesus Christ, before it is too late and they get left behind to suffer through the days of wrath to come.
