Deception. That is the art of making one believe in what is not real. There are those who refuse to believe, except what their own eyes show them. They will be decieved. There are those who refuse to believe in anything, unless Science can prove it. They too will be decieved.
But what about the great magicians such as David Copperfield? Did he really make the Statue of Liberty vanish and reappear, at his own will? Did he really walk right thru a solid brick wall? Does he really make objects appear and disappear into thin air? Does he really float about the audiance, with the greatest of ease
The answer to that my friends, is no he did not. But he made it SEEM like he could accomplish all of those feats, with the simple snap of his fingers, or flick of his hand. But then again, if he could not make it seem like he could do all of those wonderous feats he would not be the world-famous magician that he is, would he? That my friends, is a classic example of deception.
David Copperfield's shows and performances may be simple and innocent entertainment, but it is a form of deception none-the-less.
But there is another Deciever in the world, and his trickery is not so innocent, but many people will be so awe-struck and follow him to the ends of the world, literally singing his praises. And in the process, they will lose their place in the Book of Life, and find themselves imprisoned in hell for all of eternity. Think about it. They won't be in Hell for just a few hours, a few years, or even a few million years. They will be there FOREVER. Wow, forever is a long time, isn't it?
Lucifer will come to Earth and claim he is the Messiah, and will demonstrate all types of signs and wonders. He will make fire rain down from the sky, just as Elijah had done thousands of years earlier. He will make rain pour down from a cloudless sky. He will give statues and idols the power to walk around and speak, seemingly on their own.
He will also do what no other politician or religious figure could do since the dawn of time: He will bring peace between Israel and her Arab neighbors. The entire world will be enamored with him, and ask 'Who is like him. Who is greater than he'. He will be embraced, admired, and revered by the entire world. Everybody will have nothing but good things to say about him.
He will perform great signs and wonders in the full sight of the world. He wants the whole mankind to witness the full extent of his powers, and they will. No dount he will use the modern technology of TV and the Internet to broadcast his latest 'miracle' around the world. The entire world will hail him as Savior and Messiah, calling him 'David's Heir'
The headlines of every newspaper in the world will be describing his latest 'miracle' in full detail, as the TV reporters will broadcast them live around the globe, as it happens. As for those who believe only in what they see, they will kneel before him and worship him as God for he has given them exactly what they wanted... something to believe with their own eyes, instead of their heart. And the motto 'seeing is believing' as been drilled into our heads, even before we were old enough to walk.
Those who constantly demanded proof of God's Existance will kneel right next to the rest of the world, in worship of this mysterious figure. They have been so concerned demanding physical proof of God's Existance, they failed to see it has already been given with His Own Word.
Yes my friends, he is Lucifer. The Fallen Angel. The Great Deciever. The Lord of Lies. Lucifer will attempt to outlaw and abolish the Holy Truth, and replace it with his pack of lies and try to pass them off as 'deeper truths' (a favorite new-age term). And many people will be only too happy to accept him as their Messiah. But it will get worse.... much much worse.
This is the start of what is known as The Great Tribulation, which the Bible tells of a time of such terror and turmoil that has not been since the dawn of time, nor will ever see again. By this time, The Rapture would have already taken place and the faithful servants and follwers of Jesus Christ will have been personally escorted to Heaven by Christ Himself. So there will be very little complaint from the people, when Lucifer marches on the newly constructed Temple, sits on the Throne of The Holies and crowns himself God.
But something incredible will happen, and Israel will in one voice, declare the Gospel and preach the Word of God to the world. Million will come to repent of their sins and turn their hearts and souls over to God Almighty. This will greatly anger Lucifer and he will unleash that anger on the world. And his first target will be the newly-converted Christians, themselves.
But God has promised to never leave the world without a Witness to His Name, and will place His Seal on 144,000 (12,000 from each of the 12 Tribes of Israel), supernaturally protecting them for 3 1/2 years, so they can go and witness to the entire world. When word reaches Lucifer, his first order is to outlaw any other religion or god. But Lucifer knows that the people will need something to believe, so he creates a new religion... one with him as God.
When Lucifer establishes his world-wide tyranny, Christanity will be declared outlawed and will even go as far to charge Christans with treason. If you remember, Ancient Rome (another society where it's emperors were revered as deities) also charged Christians with treason, as well. Lucifer will have a secret police force that will be so grand and elaborate, Hitler and Stalin would have been sick with envy.
This will be a very dark and dangerous time for the Christians who are now outcasts of society. Lucifer knows that the Christians will continute to be an obstacle and is prepared to use every agency and resource to eradicate them. He will have massive police and agents designed for that sole purpose, my friends. But this has been fortold and will come to pass, as other prophecies have done. The followers of Lucifer will be so caught up in his lies, they will defend them to death and will also plot against those they consider to be his enemies.
Just like in Ancient Rome, to be a Christian is to be marked for death. To be a Christian is the most serious and henious of all offenses. Even killers and pedophiles will be considered a higher regard, than Christians. Christians will be stripped of their belongings, their social standings, and all identity. They will even be stripped of their basic rights and citzenship status. They will have no trial and will automatically be found guilty. Some will be forced into labor-camps, some will be sent to prison, and some (the lucky ones) will be executed.
All levels of Government, from State to Local will be consolidated into one, with Lucifer as both Leader and 'god'. This world-wide government has one purpose. It has one design. To force the world on bended knee before Lucifer. 3 1/2 years into the Tribulation (right after the Rapture), Lucifer will be lord of the entire world. This has been propchesied in both the Book of Daniel and The Book of Revelations.
The Christians who managed to survive Lucifer's genocide will be under severe pressure to denounce God and swear loyalty to Lucifer, promising wealth and prestige, if they did so. If a Christian has friends who have sided with Lucifer, no doubt they will try to convince their friend to do the same. And for some people peer-pressure and be an unbearable form of pressure.
Lucifer will enforce his laws and decrees with his own sign. His Mark. The 666 or Mark of The Beast has been a topic of controversy and is a topic even many priests, pastors, or ministers refuse to comment on. The Mark will be a device (most likely a computer chip) that can be easily implanted on the hand, and read by a special scanner. This chip will contain everything about you. Your name. Your address. Your bank account. Basically it will contain your very existance. Lucifer will make a law that states anybody who does not bear his mark will not be allowed to work, buy, or sell.
Millions will be rushing, each one eager to be the first to have this new design, and they will display it as a sign of honor. It will be hailed as 'cool' and 'fashionable'. By rejecting the Mark of The Beast, a person reject's Lucifer's claim to be God. But, no matter how hard they may try to pressure you, you must remain true to the Holy Father and not accept Lucifer's Mark.
The Lord has promised he will never forsake His faithful children and will send painful sores and plagues on those who have accepted Lucifer's Mark, and they will be howling in such pain and agony, that even the best and most expensive doctors and medicine cannot cure. Lucifer will tell the people it's the Christians fault they are suffering, and they should go out and kill as many as possible. And they will. They will kill without the slightest remorse. Your once best friend, or even your own sibling will not have a second thought about killing you, as you are a 'traitor', and are not deserving of life. And because the Courts of the world will be puppets of Lucifer, Christians will find no sympathy there, either.
All of the world's media will act as a propeganda tool for Lucifer. The News will now turn their attention from capturing killers, to capturing the Christians. Everything from the Head of State, down to the local Mayor's office will be one collective unit, with Lucifer himself presiding as Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
We are not at this point just yet, but we're approaching at lightening-like speed. Perhaps you've already noticed the anti-Christian attitude taking shape even here in America? Don't get me wrong, I love America and am just a patriotic as the next person, but even I can't deny the facts. Our children cannot even mention Jesus in school (except if you're using His Name in profanity), yet he/she can go to the School Library and learn all about the occult and paganism.
Paganism is making a return to America under the 'New Age' banner, and their philosophy that 'we are our own god and savior' is being widely and wildly applauded and celebrated. Witchcraft is now considered to be 'respectable' as the new-age era has gone mainstream with such shows as Crossing Over: With John Edwards and the number of copy-cat programs being produced, with each one claiming to have a special gift invoking the dead.
Not to mention the slew of 'psychic advisors' each one claiming to see what the future holds. Everybody is trying to milk the New-Age train. But what they don't tell you is, while people may call it different things, it's a form of the occult and God specifically forbade us to take part in it. And the producers are selling the occult as 'entertainment'.
All of this is happening and at the same time, Christian morals are attacked as 'out-dated', 'old-fashioned' or even archaic.
Today homosecuality and other perversions are treated as 'normal'. No where is this more true than Hollywood where perversion is not just accepted. It's expected. It's applauded. It's revered.
Even today there is talk about removing God from our monuments, documents, and currency. One has to wonder how much longer before even God Himself is removed?
If you are asked the ultimate question, how do you respond:
Whom do you serve? Do you serve God and His Laws or Lucifer and his decrees? Will you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, even if that makes you a traitor and lose all of your worldy posessions and status, and be persecuted here, and go to Heaven later?
Or do you choose to serve Lucifer and his minions of hell, live a life of ease and comfort here and now, but go to hell later? Remember the Bible says that in the end, mankind will choose one or the other. There is no middle ground. There is no 3rd option. It's totally one or totally the other.
I know that is a harsh question to ask, but the answer you give will determine will you will spend eternity. And that's a long time!
Nobody can deny that at one time, unions served a useful purpose. They were responsible for removing children from dangerous factory jobs and the coal mines. They were responsible for lobbying on behalf of worker's rights. They fought for the 40 hour work week. They fought for the overtime requirements. They fought to make sure employees were not being ripped off by greedy management refusing to pay for their time and services.
But over time unions, like any other body, became bloated and irrelevant. Today government agencies, and not union power-brokers, oversee fair treatment and working conditions. Unions today, are a figurehead, with no real power or authority and the union's ties with the mafia and other organized-crime outfits did very little to help their image.
Don't let the Union and their fans fool you. They are not a "grass-roots" organization, and a lot has changed since Norma Rae. Unions are a billion-dollar a year business. That's right...a business that makes their livlihood at the expense of member dues.
Unions will promise the moon....but the fact of the matter, is everything from senority to vacation, and even how much you make, is all negotiable. The only things a union can correctly promise are their dues....and they help themseleves to that, before the negotation process even starts (regardless if you want them too, or not)
I joined Rightnation.us (a political conservative-based board) in 2003, when it was called HollywoodHalfwits.com. When Mark was in charge of the site, things went rather smooth with the exception of the occassional troll or spammer, who was shown the door. I have made some very good friends, and have had many good discussions and debates with Conservatives and Liberals alike, and for the most part, have enjoyed my time with them.
I have had more than 15,000 posts, at that site, on various topics such as politics, education, entertainment, and more. Mark left and handed over the page to Lisa, who was his right-hand-man (or woman, in this case), the quality of the sight went down. It became more of a high-school ’social clique’ than anything else and basically was just one big popularity contest, where the butt-kissers got away with everything, and everybody else was scrutinized over the slightest infaction.
Basically it was another ‘Stepford Wives clone’ where we were supposed to nod our heads, in unison over anything Lisa (the owner) and her little inner-circle of Mommy Dearest mods, would say.
As Lisa became less frequent, the mods basically ran the show and if you didn’t just grovel at their feet, singing their praises to the high heavens (be it a liberal or conservative), then you would be ‘put on notice’ and subject to even more scrutiny. Never mind that the spammers and trolls who kissed their butts were allowed to do as they pleased, with no repercussions.
As long as you kissed their butts, and became on of their ‘yes sir/ma’am’ stooges, you were free to pretty much do as you pleased, and to hell with the rules, that the rest of us had to abide by.
I have pretty much abided by the rules, as best as I could. But when you start to allow the spammers to have free reign and punish those who try to call them out… then something is very sadly wrong. I have never been a butt-kisser or brown-noser, which is why the moderators and I seldom agreed… and why I am no longer a member of Rightnation
