Preparation for “The Mark” A number of sources have revealed that hidden deep within the Health Care legislation that government leaders– behind closed doors, far way from public view– are preparing to impose on the citizens of the United States are frightening rules. According to one report, Sec 2521, Pg. 1000 – The government will establish a National Medical Device Registry. That sounds innocent enough until you keep reading the fine print. This new law, if fully implemented would provide the framework for making the United States the first nation to require each and every one of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn’t, allowed medical care in the country. Let’s pray that this piece of legislation be removed from the final bill if Health Care Reform is voted on.

The Wise Men were representatives of the Persian priestly clan, the Magi (originally one of the six tribes of the Medes). Some of their contemporaries believed in astrology and the black arts (the word “magic” comes from the same root as “Magi”). But these men were apparently true believers who knew and honored the Hebrew Scriptures. One can not help but wonder how they knew the Scriptures and why God revealed the “Christmas Star” to them. One of the most fascinating aspects of the Biblical story of Daniel is that this young prophet who was able to interpret Nebuchadnezzar’s dream about future world empires (Daniel 2), was honored by Nebuchadnezzar by making him the chief of his “Wise Men”(Daniel 2:48). From this position Daniel undoubtedly influenced many to believe in Jehovah and the Hebrew Scriptures. They were aware of the prophecies of a coming Messiah through whom all the world would be blessed. Unlike the Jewish people, the Persians did study the skies to understand the course of the stars. Some believed in astrology – the wrong idea that the stars influence the activities of our day to day lives. Others, like these Wise Men, were true scientists who studied Astronomy. When they saw a fascinating series of conjunctions during a two year period of time, they related it to the Biblical teaching that God would use the stars as “signs” and seasons (Genesis 1:14) and the Messianic prophecy that a “star” would come out of the tribe of Judah. (Numbers 24:17).

All the 300 plus prophecies concerning the first coming of Christ were all fulfilled literally. It makes sense that if all the prophecies of Christ’s first coming were fulfilled literally then all the prophecies concerning His second coming will also be fulfilled literally. Just a quick review of a few of His first coming predictions and fulfillment: Born of the seed of woman (Gen. 3:15 – Gal. 4:4), Born of a virgin (Isa 7:14 – Mat. 1:1-25), Seed of David (Jer. 23:5 – Luke 3:31), Born in Bethlehem (Mic 5:2 – Mat. 2:1-6). It’s interesting when you see the Christmas decorations begin to go up on Main Street and the Malls, you know that Thanksgiving must be near. In the same way when you see the signs for the second coming of Christ you know the rapture must be near. There are no signs for the rapture of the church; however, there are many signs for the second coming (rumors of wars, terrorism, earthquakes, diseases, economic changes etc.). Therefore, we are witnessing signs for the second coming now! That means the rapture must be near. We may not know the exact day but we are aware of the general time.”Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” Matthew 24:42

Prophetic Watch: Doomsday 2012???

Many believe that ancient prophecies indicate that change is coming. Big change. Predictions vary widely about what will happen. They range from total, all-out apocalypse to some kind of quantum shift in human awareness and consciousness. Yet they all agree that big change is coming for planet earth and the human race. And they appear to all focus on one specific day—December 21, 2012—the final day on the Mayan long count calendar. Never before have so many people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints pinpointed one day as the expiration date for human civilization. It’s like Y2K gone wild. While there are many issues surrounding 12.21.12 the bottom line is this—while the Mayans knew a great deal about astronomy and calendars, they did not know the future. No man does. Only God knows the future, and He has not revealed any “specific dates” for either the Second Coming of Jesus or the end of the world (Matthew 24:36, 42, 44). Of course, some unusual things could happen on or near December 21, 2012, but whatever occurs it won’t be the end of the world, the mass extinction of humanity or some quantum leap to a new level of human consciousness. Don’t panic or be drawn away to rash, impulsive actions by those claiming to know the exact date of the end of the world. They don’t know when the world will end. Only God knows, and He isn’t telling anyone on earth. I recommend Mark Hitchcock’s book, 2012, the Bible and the End of the World.

Prophetic Watch: US admiral concerned about China military buildup

HONG KONG — A U.S. Navy admiral expressed new concern over China’s military buildup and urged Beijing to be clearer about its intentions. With China’s military growing at an “unprecedented rate,” the U.S. wants to ensure that expansion doesn’t destabilize the region, Rear Adm. Kevin Donegan told reporters on a visit to the Chinese territory of Hong Kong last week. Donegan acknowledged the possibility of a Chinese aircraft carrier, but also said he was concerned with anti-access weapons. This class of weapons includes missiles and submarines that can threaten U.S. forces in the region and prevent us from responding in the event of a crisis. His remarks echoed the concerns of other U.S. military leaders who have said the growth in China’s military spending — up almost 15 percent in the 2009 budget — raises questions about how Beijing plans on deploying its new power. “I am absolutely concerned,”Donegan said. A series of confrontations involving vessels from the two navies has raised concerns over China’s rising determination to defend what it sees as its territorial interests in the South China Sea, where the U.S. has long operated as the major international power. The Admiral should be concerned because the Bible predicts the “Kings from the East” will be major players at Armageddon (Revelation 16:12-16)
