If this first week of 2013 is any indication, the acceleration toward “total transformation” will continue to astound.

Here in the U.S. the big news of the week has been lots of gay “weddings” in Maine, the charade of “averting the fiscal ciff” in D.C., and Chicago’s move toward total gun ban.  It comes as no surprise to most of us that in the march to disarm Americans and nullify the Bill of Rights, Illinois would take the lead.  Oh, and the figure on legalizing gay “marriage” while they’re at it.  Would that fall under “changing laws and times”?

As last month’s school shooting itself fades into “yesterday’s news”, not only is the issue of gun ownership in the spotlight, but more than ever  I am seeing posts and hearing discussions about just what lies behind these horrific events.  Some want to blame it on a lack of awareness and action in the arena of “mental illness”, others on the pharmaceutical industry, still others suspect psy-ops, false-flag events, shadow government complicity. Frankly I am not sure these various theories are necessarily mutually exclusive.  Regardless of what or who is behind them, they are definitely having a cumulative effect on the psyche of Americans.  Particularly our kids.  I think that a lot of kids these days feel extremely insecure and unsafe just by virtue of the fact so many parents are stressed out and anxious.  Kids have a radar that picks up that thrumming vibration in an antsy, unsettled parent and it tends to set the “strings” of their little hearts and minds to vibrating and resonating to the  “frequency” of the parent, without them being at all aware of the concerns underlying how they feel.  That diffuse, unspecified, generalized “worry” when they don’t even know what they are worried about, is extremely unsettling.  How powerless must they feel when they can’t even articulate it. One survey of 2,136 16 to 25-year-olds showed that 21% of respondents who had a job, felt down or depressed frequent or always, while nearly half (48%) who didn’t have work, school or training felt depressed always or often.  With 2 boys in high school, that statistic breaks my heart.  I’d say that is a huge part of the depression of those in the late-30’s to fourties age-group, as well, the knowledge their kids face a bleak future.

Hillary Clinton “went A.W.O.L.” for several days, amidst all sorts of speculation, the “offical story” not easily swallowed.  Concussion? Blood clot? Misplaced in Iran somewhere?  Or maybe just a reluctance to adhere to the “offical narrative” on Behghazi?   I’d say Rham Emmanuel’s Chicago thugs would gladly rough her up.  A lot of those guys up at the top, despite the appearance of being chums, really aren’t all that unified, except by their mutual hatred and distrust of one another and their equal determination to remain within the circle of elite power at the top.

Is it me, or are we living in an America (whole world) where no one really trusts anyone at all anymore?  (Matthew 10:21, Mark 13:12)

In international events, Nato, Russia, America all seem to be breathing down the neck of the Syrian conflict, ready to intervene.  Meanwhile, words came out of the mouth of Benjamin Netenyahu that sent a chill down my spine: “In this week’s Torah portion it is written, ‘Now there arose a new king over Egypt who knew not Joseph.’ That’s also happening today,”

I think that before long there will be little or no room remaining for the “spiritual” aspects of what is happening in the world, to remain cloaked.  The cards are just about all on the table now.

Oh, and just for kicks, you know, because we are just rolling in dough, NASA wants to grab an asteroid and drag it through the moon’s orbit.  Just to see what happens.

It has been quite a week!  As developments continue to play out, the prophetic picture falls into place that much more, and I wouldn’t be surprised if something major “gives” between now and spring.  Start of war with Iran, martal law in America, or that the reaally big things start to happen simultaneously with a sort of “one-two punch” that becomes the perfect crisis and allows the globalist PTB to accelerate the advancing of their agenda to such a degree as to constitute that dreaded “paradigm shift” everyone is talking about.  From a prophetic perspective this would set up the “10 kings”, although I think it is possible for those ten kings to already be in place, running their individual “kindoms” from behind the curtain right now, just not given a public recognition.  If their rulership is going to be very brief, as we know it will, then it only makes sense.

I continue to get e-mails in response to my article entitled “Worn Out Saints” which ran here and on Rapture Ready, as well as at OliveTreeMinistries.org.  Christians who are fighting the good fight, and have been for a long while now.  The watchmen know that it we are down to the wire now.  All these reports of “UFO”s and stars that are falling straight down, rather than streaking like a comet across the sky, there is an alien invasion coming, alright.  Some welcome it.  Some on this earth have been practicing rituals to invoke it, in fact.  The “delusion” has already been sent and many are already operating under that blindness.

There are those in the church especially, who have become wholly deceived, turned over to their lust for signs and wonders and powers.

But this is not written for them.  It is written to that weary saint.  Do not be weary in well-doing.  As I frequently admonish, get your armor on.  Keep it on.  Don’t even go to bed without it on.  Pray without ceasing.  Your internal thought processes should be a continuous dialogue with the Lord even while you go about your day.  God promised never to again send a flood of water to destroy the earth, but there is a different sort of flood that is coming.  The deceived of the “apostolic” church have been having “dreams and visions” for years about a coming flood, which they believe is going to be a “Holy Spirit” flood of power.  They will rejoice until that power turns against them.  There is a crescendo, a climax that people from just about every belief system are now expecting.

Christian, if you are living for the Lord, if you love the Lord Jesus with your whole heart, if you have lived a self-examined and repentant life, you can face these days with peace and confidence as you watch the pages of scripture prophecy come to life.  Here in America hard times are here, and they will get worse.  I will tell you, what I tell my two boys all the time, (until they get sick of hearing it, lol) and that is this:  KNOW WHO YOUR GOD IS.

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

² Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

³ Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

⁴ Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

⁵ Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

⁶ Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

⁷ At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

⁸ They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

⁹ Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹⁰ He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

¹² By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

¹³ He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

¹⁵ And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

¹⁷ Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

¹⁸ The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

²¹ The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

²² The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

²³ Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

²⁴ O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁵ So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

²⁶ There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

²⁷ These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

²⁸ That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹ The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

³² He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

³³ I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

³⁴ My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

³⁵ Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

(Psalm 104)
