Hello, John and Doves,
Russia, under Putin, is becoming more of a threat to US interests in the middle east.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2647052/Obama-US-boost-military-presence-Europe.html
Therefore, Obama is sending more troops to Europe.
Fearless Leader
is more apt to defend his own interests (and presumably the interests
of the USA) much sooner than he will ever defend the name of Yeshua
HaMashiach, the Name above all other names. http://news.msn.com/us/obama-defends-swap-of-taliban-detainees-for-army-sgt-bergdahl
It is written,
5You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11
Taking a closer look at Obama, it seems he does not exactly exude evil. It
is just that I have never heard him praise the living and true God,
ADONAI Elohim Tsevaot, who is embodied perfectly in the person of Yeshua
HaMashiach.

So too, Pope Francis does not seem to be threatening, yet I would be hard-pressed to recall a time when he praised El Elyon, the Most High God outside the ritual of Mass. He seems to seek the praise of men instead of the approval of God. http://poy.time.com/2013/12/11/person-of-the-year-pope-francis-the-peoples-pope/
Now hear this, and mark it well. The revealing fact about the Beast and the Second Beast is that they both claim the very words of God as their own.
There are NO scripture references from either one. They
literally do not give a second thought to grab God’s glory for
themselves, as if the wisdom of scripture originated from themselves.
It is written,
17Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 18He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”
Daniel 2:17-23 NIV
Since
both Beasts rely on their own [not inconsiderable, yet limited human]
wits, it is typical of both Beasts that they consistently misapply
scripture.
It is written,
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 14:12 ESV
BHO quoted Isaiah 9:10 when he would better have quoted Micah 7:8.
It is written,
The Lord’s Anger against Israel
8The Lord has spoken out against Jacob;
his judgment has fallen upon Israel.
9And the people of Israel and Samaria,
who spoke with such pride and arrogance,
will soon know it.
10They said, “We will replace the broken bricks of our ruins with finished stone,
and replant the felled sycamore-fig trees with cedars.”
11But the Lord will bring Rezin’s enemies against Israel
and stir up all their foes.
12The Syrians from the east and the Philistines from the west
will bare their fangs and devour Israel.
But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied.
His fist is still poised to strike.
Isaiah 9:8-12 NLT
Obama
and the Illuminati are greedy for the blessings for Israel from the
LORD Most High, and so they try to claim identity over and against Eretz
Israel.
They shall get their wish, but from a snarky perspective. God will let them choose their reward according to their behavior toward Him. If they reject God, then God will reject them.
It is written,
The LORD mocks the mockers but is gracious to the humble.
Proverbs 3:34 NLT
Yes,
since America is disobedient in that we fail, as a people, to give all
praise, all glory, and all honor to the LORD Most High, Maker of heaven
and Earth, the only Savior [Jude 1:25].
Therefore, unless America repents, she shall reap the reward of destruction [Leviticus 26:1-39].
If instead we worshipped God the Almighty, then we would rejoice with the prophet Micah.
For it is written,
7As for me, I look to the Lord for help.
I wait confidently for God to save me,
and my God will certainly hear me.
8Do not gloat over me, my enemies!
For though I fall, I will rise again.
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.
9I will be patient as the Lord punishes me,
for I have sinned against him.
But after that, he will take up my case
and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies.
The Lord will bring me into the light,
and I will see his righteousness.
10Then my enemies will see that the Lord is on my side.
They will be ashamed that they taunted me, saying,
“So where is the Lord—
that God of yours?”
With my own eyes I will see their downfall;
they will be trampled like mud in the streets.
Micah 7:7-10 NLT
For his part, Pope Francis quoted Genesis 9:7 when he would better have quoted Matthew 24:14.
http://news.msn.com/world/pope-francis-urges-couples-to-raise-kids-not-cats-and-dogs
It is written,
“Now be fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth."
Genesis 9:7 NLT
Again, it is written,
And
the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole
world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:14 NLT
Pride and arrogance are the hallmarks of the two Beasts.
They appear as lovingly lukewarm:
They neither seem as cold hearted bastard sons of Satan,
nor do they seem at any time to be on fire for the LORD.
Both
claim to be Christian, and yet everyone who is in Christ is sealed by
the Holy Spirit, whose one mission is to reveal and glorify the LORD
Yeshua HaMashiach. Where is their praise of HaShem to whom all praise, glory and honor belong?
It is written,
"Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”
Leviticus 19:18 NLT
Again, it is written,
And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
Deuteronomy 6:5 NLT
Thus we read,
The Death of Herod Agrippa
20Now Herod was very angry
with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they sent a delegation to make
peace with him because their cities were dependent upon Herod’s country
for food. The delegates won the support of Blastus, Herod’s personal assistant, 21and
an appointment with Herod was granted. When the day arrived, Herod put
on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and made a speech to them. 22The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!”
23Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.
24Meanwhile, the word of God continued to spread, and there were many new believers.
Acts 12:20-24 NLT
There we have it. We can choose life or death [Deuteronomy 30:19].
It is so simple:
He
has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require
of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your
God.
Micah 6:8 NIV
Thus is it written,
17And
remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He
will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in
reverent fear of him during your time as “foreigners in the land.” 18For
you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you
inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold
or silver. 19It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.
21Through
Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith
and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him
great glory.
22You
were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must
show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
23For
you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your
new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living
word of God. 24As the Scriptures say,
“People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
25But the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
1 Peter 1:17-25 NLT
~Blessings,
Mike
