Leviticus 10:1-3


Read Leviticus 10:1-3

And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.  The fire of the Lord consumed them. And they died.  This is one of those passages in Scripture that doesn’t seem to fit in our image of who our God is.  Nowhere in this passage do we see a God ready and willing to pardon the sinner.  We do not see the long haired hippy version of Jesus skipping through the flowers with His disciples that is so often portrayed today in the church.  Where is the God who is love?  Where is His grace and His forgiveness? The fire of the Lord consumed them and they died. There was no second chance, no slap on the wrist, no mercy.

So let us now examine these verses more intently.  We are immediately introduced to two men, Nadab and Abihu.  However this is not the first time we meet them in the Words of Sacred Scripture.  We first learn of them in Exodus 6:23.  They are introduced as the two oldest sons of Moses brother Aaron.  As the sons of Aaron, they were part of the Levitical priesthood and were trained as such. Exodus 24:1-3 says: Then he said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him.” Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rules. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do.”  These men were trained from their birth on how to serve the Lord, keeping His ordinances. From a young age, a Levite would have known how to serve YAHWEH as was demanded.  The Levites ministered to God day and night.  They administered all the sacrifices and kept the Tabernacle, even keeping watch over it during the night. Deuteronomy 18:1 tells us this, the Levitical priests, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the LORD’s food offerings as their inheritance.  These men were not allowed to own land.  They had NO inheritance with Israel.  They also could not hunt or gather food on their own.  They instead relied solely on the left over food from the sacrifices made to God. Let us make no mistake about it, the only job these men had was to minister before the throne of El Shaddai.

Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it. The story now opens with the sons of Aaron approaching the throne of the Almighty.  They approached the throne of the Living God.  Revelation 4 sets the scene: After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.  This is the throne YAHWEH, the Sovereign Lord.  But the Bible describes it elsewhere;  In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”  Oh what a scene!  Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the WHOLE earth is filled with His glory.  In the presence of the Shekinah glory of God, Isaiah cries out in agony, and condemns himself.  In the Old Testament, there are two kinds of statements that a prophet would bring to Israel; either one of weal, which meant good news or one of woe which symbolized condemnation.  As a prophet, Isaiah knew this full well, and yet he calls condemnation on himself when he is brought face to face with the glory of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  In His presence before His thrown Isaiah is broken hearted and dejected.  He falls down and cries out in agony as the Seraphim fly above the Master’s throne calling out praises to the Ancient of Days.  The temple shook and the robe of the Lord filled the temple.  Even the Seraphim, who minister to God’s throne day and night, still must cover their eyes in His presence.  This is the picture of the throne of Jehovah that the sons of Aaron were approaching.  Woe to us if we do not recognize the glory of God seated on the throne.  Let us understand that as the sons of Aaron entered the Holy of Holies, they came face to face with the same God we see in Isaiah, this fierce God of power and might. 

Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them.  The sons of Aaron now approached the throne of the Almighty and offered up a fire not authorized.  In order to truly understand this grievous violation of the law of God, we must look at it in context.  We have already established that the Nadab and Abihu were in no way strangers to the law, or the proper way of worship.  For years they had been trained in the proper way of worship.  From a young age, they were trained to reverence the Lord.  They were not ignorant in the way the Lord had commanded to be worshipped.  But they approached the throne of the Sovereign boldly, and did what they were deliberately told not to.  They offered an improper sacrifice, not only on behalf of themselves, but on behalf of all of Israel.  The Levitical priests were given the gargantuan task of interceding before the Lord on behalf of all the Israelites.  When Israel transgressed, the priest would go into the Tabernacle and offer a sacrifice to atone for the sins of Israel.  This was no small task, and by going before the Lord and offering a strange fire the sons of Aaron were sinning before the Lord not only on behalf of themselves but also on behalf of the whole nation.

And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.  Fire came out before the LORD and consumed them.  Oh what a description!  Our God is an all consuming fire.  When Nadab and Abihu approached the throne of God and offered a mysterious fire, they felt the full wrath of the Lord poured out on them.  The Lord’s anger burns fierce against the sin of unrepentant sinners.  How dare anyone approach the Lord of Hosts and deliberately disobey Him.  When the sons of Aaron approached the throne Yahweh, before Him and all the nation of Israel, and offered an unknown fire, they felt the full ferocity of his wrath.  He did not hold back.  The same fury He poured out onto the wicked city of Sodom was felt by Nadab and Abihu. Nowhere in the text do we read that God only poured out as much rage as the sons of Aaron could stand, or what seemed reasonable to them.  No! He poured out His full and unabridged anger.  We must be careful not to remove ourselves from this fierce some story.  For those of us who are apart of Christ this is our fate, but not only until we are killed, our torture will last forever.  Revelation 14:11 tells us  "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." Forever will they be tortured, forever will they feel his wrath and anger poured out on them.  The same anger and fury poured out on Nadab and Abihu will be felt by those unrepentant sinners for all of eternity.  There will be no rest, no relief from this torture, ever.  Death stands ready to pounce on you at any second, and is only held back by the pleasure of God.  If you were given what you deserve, if I was given what I deserve, we would be burning in hell right now and for forever more.  God’s divine wrath would burn against us without ceasing.  We would cry out in great anxiety to the Lord begging like the rich man for even a drop of water on our tongue, but never receiving it.  Just as the smoke of Gethsemane burned without end, so shall our torment be. 

We must understand that we are born radically depraved and God hating.  The issue for those of you apart from Christ is not that you have sinned; it’s that you have done nothing but sin!  Those apart from Christ are described in Romans 5 as God haters.  All your life you have transgressed against a holy God and a just God cannot let sin go unpunished.  He must punish sin with the full fury of His wrath, and He will.  The fate of those apart from Christ is darker and more painful than anyone can begin to imagine.  You can do nothing to keep yourself from this fate.  The Scriptures tell us that our greatest works are like filthy menstrual rags.  There is nothing under the cosmos that we can do to work our way out of our fate.  All are lost and all deserve condemnation for their sin against the perfect holy God.  All of us live on the brink of this condemnation and if God but blink His eye we will be caught up and forever thrown into this pit of eternal despair

And yet there is hope.  There is one all encompassing hope.   One way to escape this condemnation and it is through the sacrifice of the Son of God.  God has given us, the most undeserving of sinners, a way to escape this condemnation.  He has sent His Son to die on the cross and take the full fury of God’s wrath, so that we do not have to suffer.  Christ came to earth and lived the perfect life to die for sin and save us from the fury of the Lord.  Christ has called us to come to Him, repent and be saved.  He is our only hope in this dark world, but be aware that following after God is not an easy path.  Christ calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow after Him. Today in our nation we are told that if we prayer a prayer and ask Jesus into our hearts, we will be saved and all our problems will be fixed.  This is the biggest lie in Christianity today.  Nowhere in Scripture do we see a command to pray a prayer.  Nowhere in Scripture are we told to ask Jesus into our hearts.  It breaks my heart to think about how many people who have prayed that prayer, will stand before the throne of God on judgment day and hear Him say depart from me for I never knew you.  Those people like Nadab and Abihu offer and improper sacrifice and will feel the fury of the wrath of God.  The message of Christ is much different.  He tells us to leave everything, die to ourselves and follow after Him.  We are called to lay everything down before him.  Everything.  Christ is not an add on to our lives.  He is not something to make our lives better.  NO! He is everything we have and everything we can possibly need.  Christ does not want to be first among many; He wants to be the only thing.  He is not just a way for us to escape hell.  If I knew that God was going to send all of you to hell, I would still tell you to glorify Him because He deserves it!  We were created with the sole purpose of glorifying God.  The Westminster confession tells us that: “Mans chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” To bring glory to Him!

So now the time has come.  We must now decide what to do.  We have been given today.  What a gift today is!  We have been given this second.  Those of you that are outside of Christ repent of your sins leave everything behind and follow after Christ. And know that the sign of your conversion is not that you prayed a prayer, but rather a fundamental change in your life.  The evidence of saving faith is not today, but in the days that follow. To those of you that are in Christ do what Paul has commanded you and examine yourself.  The mark of a believer is the fruits of the spirit.  Not one fruit, or two, or eight, but all of the fruits.  Those of you that are in Christ are a new creation, the old is gone and behold the new is here.  But be fully aware that not only is the gate narrow, but so is the road.  Our road is a lonely one, full of bumps and potholes, but it is the path of Truth! And of peace!  So seize this day for Christ, die to self and live in the splendor of His love and grace.

Let us close with the third verse of this story.  Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” And Aaron held his peace. Aaron broken hearted comes before Moses and pleads for an answer, and Moses in what is a seemingly cold-hearted response reiterates what the Lord has spoken; ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’  God will be glorified one way or another, through life or through death.  And Aaron held his peace.  Aaron shut up.  He had seen the Lord, and offered worship before His throne and now submitted Himself before the Almighty.  Aaron knew the Holiness of the God He worshipped.  He had died to himself and was following after the Ancient of Days.  May we follow in his example.  May we give it all to Him and gain more than we can possibly understand.

The truth regarding the sinking of the Lusitania and the U.S involvement in WW1

As I explained in my last post about the Bilderberg group, now is the time for the truth to be told.  I hope this post will help to inform those who read it about the truth behind the U.S entering what has been known as the 'Great War'.  In this issue, as is usually the case, all one has to do to find the truth is follow the trail of money.


In order to truly understand what happened in WW1, we must understand all angles of the conflict.  The war broke out on July 28, 1914, after a continued building up of arms and increased hostilities between the Central Powers of Germany and the Allied forces of France and Britain.  The war escalated and the U.S was determined to remain neutral in 'Europe's war'.  Immediately the Allied powers began to turn to the U.S banks to help fund the war effort.  The banks, led by the Morgan brothers, were eager to grant huge loans, in hope of making huge sums of cash off interest.  This is exactly what happened.  During the early part of the war, U.S banks were raking in millions of dollars a day.


Then, halfway through the war, everything changed. France was quickly being overrun, and Germany had launched all out submarine warfare on Britain, hoping to starve the island country.  The Allied powers were in grave danger.  This had a huge effect on the banks.  Having lent out billions of dollars, if the allied powers lost the war, the banks would have to eat all the losses.  This could potentially cause a collapse of the most powerful banks in the world.  This could not happen; so a plan was formed.


It started with, then First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill making a shoot on sight order for all German U-boats. This hostile approach to naval warfare escalated German attacks on British ships. Churchill's thought behind this was if violence was increased, America might be coerced into joining the war. At the same time, America continued shipping goods and war supplies to Allied powers. On May 6, 1915 an British ship headed for America called the Lusitania was hit by a German submarine, and sunk. 128 Americans were killed. This was all the American people needed to declare war.


This is where most history books end the story. However, in truth, the story is much more complicated. Days before the ship was sunk, the German embassy in the U.S released a statement warning Americans to stay of cargo ships heading to Britain. They warned these ships would be sunk. The article was withheld and never reached the public. The ship itself was not a simple passenger ship. The truth is, the Lusitania was a war ship and contained illegal and smuggled goods headed toward the Allied powers. The stage was now set; Churchill sent the Lusitania directly into the territory controlled by German U-boats and gave orders to slow the ship to half speed. For the Germans, it was now as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. The ship was sunk, and over a thousand innocent lives were lost. But the banks and Britain got their wish, America joined forces with the Allied powers and won the war.


If this is true, the implications are massive.  It would mean that the banks have control over our foreign affairs.  That they encourage war and even create it, as a means of generating revenue.  This is the sad truth.  Since the creation of the Bank of England, one of the first examples of a powerful bank, there have been 9 global conflicts.  To give further evidence that the banks had a major role in getting America into WW1, we need to look no further than the U.S Neutrality Acts of the 1930's.  The U.S gov't deemed it illegal to grant money to either side of the conflict in WW2.  This was in response to the common knowledge that the banks contributed heavily into getting the U.S into Europe's conflict

Phillipians 4:9

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.


            This is amazing verse in and of itself, but it becomes even more fascinating when studied in light of the verses prior to it. Verses 6 and 7 say “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  God tells us that when we are anxious we should turn to Him and He will give us His peace.  Now only two verses later, Paul is saying do as I do and again peace will be with you.  This is truly amazing.  Just two verses earlier Paul says turn to God and be at peace and now he’s saying follow after what I do and be at peace.  So which is it?  It is both.  Paul is saying follow after me as I follow after Christ.  When Paul was anxious he quieted his soul before the Almighty and was at peace.  He is telling us to do the same.  This, again, is a massive challenge.  We should be able to look at those around us and say do as I do. Not do as I say, but do as I do.  This means in all circumstances and at all times.  What a seemingly impossible burden, and yet it is what God calls us to.  But it is not a burden at all.  It is a gift!  How great of a gift is it that the God of all the universe, would say you get to be my image bearers.  That he would say to me, a lowly sinner, you go out and be my ambassador.  He doesn’t need me, at all.  In the words of Spurgeon, if He but stamps his foot He can convert all the world, and yet He allows me to preach His word.  What joy! What a gift!  May we never take it for granted.  Let us go out to the whole world and say look at what Christ has done in me!  Look who He is and what He is still doing!  Look at how great my God is!  This is the cry of my heart.

My Jesus

The Bilderberg Group

The time is now for the truth to be told.  I no longer care how people view me, or what the consequences might be.  My goal in the next few posts will be to tell you who is running this country and this world behind the scenes.  Let me now introduce you to the Bilderberg group.

This highly secret and influential group was begun in 1954 by the former Polish politician Jozef Retinger.  Fearing anti-American sentiments in Europe, Retinger proposed a meeting of some of the most powerful men in Western Europe and the United States.  The goal of this meeting was to work out a solution for economic and militaristic tranquility amongst the nations.  Since its founding, the group has been meeting every few years.  The stated goal of these meetings are for nations to work together to achieve and common good for all nations involved.  However, the truth of the matter is much more devious and evil.

This group was created to serve as a sort of consensus as to what was for the 'public good'.  By meeting with the most powerful men in the world of politics and finance, the group can ensure that its desires be carried out.  The meetings also serve as an 'interview' for potential future leaders.  Including Clinton in '91 and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in '93.  The guest list has included such prominent and powerful names as: Rick Perry, Ben Bernanke(Chairman of the Fed), Chris Hughes(co founder of Facebook), Craig Mundy(Microsoft), Colin Powell, Gerald Ford, Barack Obama, Timothy Geithner, John Edwards, Margaret Thatcher, and many other powerful leaders in the U.S and abroad.  It must be understood that with such influential men involved, the Bilderberg group has major pull in the world.  It has been reported that the Bilderberg group has helped to establish the EU and the IMF(international monetary fund).  This is hardly surprising since the ultimate goal of the conference in globalism.  The EU is without a doubt, the predecessor to the future one world gov't, foreseen by the Fabian Socialists. 

The idea is to "Remould it nearer to the heart's desire", this is what the Bilderberg group is doing.  This can be seen in several ways.  When the group meets, they work out plans to slowly but surely break down the world's infrastructure and rebuild it in their image.  This is carried out through many different ways.  One such way is through trade agreements, like NAFTA and GATT.  Hidden behind the banner of 'free trade' is the goal of chipping away at nations sovereignty in order to make the shift to globalism smoother.  Central Banks are another way of taking power away from the people and giving it to high ranking 'intellectuals'.  By keeping monetary control over nations, the people are held captive to the will of a select few.  If the Bilderberg group decides economic collapse is what is in the 'best interest' of the people, it is carried out.  Finally, by holding these meetings, the board can decide which leaders best fit their agendas.  These leaders are then thrust onto the public stage and promoted as being the best candidates.

We have already seen the goal of the group and some of the ways they go about accomplishing it, now let's look at some of the more drastic plans of the group.  Reports have surfaced that lay out a deadly plan of destruction through depopulation.  The thought is that, if the world remains in its current state, there are too many people to be effectively subdued in the new world order.  Ideally the current 7 billion people would be cut down to 500 million, for the 'public good' of course.  This would be done slowly by constant vaccination, until the human immune system was too weak and easily susceptible to disease.  Sound familiar?  It is happening as we speak.  Think about how many vaccines you have recieved, and then ask your parents how many they got.  Beyond this biological warfare, is the false flags used by those in power, to create fear and crush freedom.  The best modern example is 9/11(I will share my thoughts on that in a future bolg).  These flags scare people into allowing gov't to take away their freedom for the promise of security.  Finally, I believe the group is using economic collapse to bring about their ideal one world gov't.  When a nation is strong, there is no chance of it surrendering their sovereignty.  However, when its economy is weak, it is willing to sacrifice its power to survive.  What is soon approaching is a world-wide economic collapse, that will bring about a new world currency, designed to cancel debt and help dying economies.  From their a one world gov't is not far off.  This is the goal of Woodrow Wilson, Keynes, Rothschild, and Rockefeller. 

I know all of this may seem extreme, so I offer you one last quote from the memoirs of John D. Rockefeller

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

The end may be here

We may have entered the last days of our nation.  Although I was confident this would come to pass soon, I did not know we were this close.  Greece announced the other day that it would referendum the EU bailout.  As soon as this was announced, stock markets around the world plummeted.  The previously surging Dow dropped over 200 points.  The Greek Parliament is in shambles as many several members have defected.  Within days to weeks Greece will fall. and the EU will likely follow.  As i have predicted in the past that the collapse of the EU could likely lead to our own collapse.  If America falls, nations like China and India would fall with us, since both of their countries rely heavily on us as a constant source of money.  What will likely follow is a world conference in which all the G-20 countries will cancel the debt and issue a new world currency.  From there a one-world gov't is not a far reach.  I have a strange and dark feeling that in the next few months it will all be over.

What is happening to our nation?

Over the last few weeks, I have made my opinion regarding our nation very clear.  Based on my extensive research, and willingness to accept the facts, i believe we are on the edge of collapse as a nation.  If you were to read through all of my posts(which I believe would be beneficial) you would be able to see why I feel we are in grave and imminent danger.  However, for the sake of convience, I will attempt to summarize several posts into one.  My hope is that after you read this you will fully understand the danger we face, and join me in fighting it.

The Federal Reserve

I believe it to be necessary to start at, what I consider to be, the root cause of our problems; The Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve is the U.S central bank that was started when the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913.  Three years earlier, 1910, a secret meeting was called by Nelson Aldrich on Jekyll Island.  In attendance were powerful men like JP Morgan, John D. Rockefellar, and Paul Warburg.  These men represented 25% of the worlds wealth!  The goal of this meeting was to unite their banks to eliminate competition.  When the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913, the Fed was given the right to coin money and control interest rates, a right that is given to Congress under the Constitution.  It is also important to note that the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel and NOT a gov't organization.  Since 1913, the Fed has been doing its best to destroy America, by controlling money.  Starting with the depression in 1929, the Feds policies have proven to be ineffective.

The process in which the Fed has caused recession is a little complicated.  When banks loan money they have no desire to be paid back, they instead look to make money of interest.  For example, when a bank loans $20 they look to make that money back plus $10 on interest.  Therefore, the larger the loan, the better.  Big loan mean lots of money of interest.  There is, however, a problem created by the market; big loans are big risks.  When banks loan large sums of money they run the risk of the borrower not being able to pay them back and having to 'swallow' their losses.  If a bank does this too often, it fails and goes out of buisness.  This allows the market to function smoothly.  The Fed has destroyed this natural barrier.  The Fed promises banks that they will always back up their loans.  This causes banks to make large and risky loans, seeking high interest payments.  What results is a 'boom' cycle where the economy is growing rapidly.  This can be seen in the 'roaring 20's'.  However, reckless bank loans have consequences.  When borrowers can no longer make their payments, banks refuse to swallow their losses and look to the Fed to bail them out.  The Fed does just that by printing billions of new dollars and telling the gov't to raise taxes on the people.  What follows is recession, or a 'bust' cycle.  This is exactly what happened in '08.

I must digress in order to explain what exactly the Fed does.  When the Federal gov't spends more than it has and finds itself in debt, they go to the Fed for a loan.  The moment the gov't asks for the loan the Fed creates the money out of thin air and lends it, charging interest.  Thats right, the Fed just makes it and then the gov't spends it.  This seems great but unfortuantely the result is huge inflation.  Inflation is why prices seem so high.  In reality your money is just worth less.  This is a dangerous trend, since it allows the gov't to have no spending cap and inflation kills the economy.

Foreign Conflict

I have had the least to say on this issue, simply because it is harder to gauge.  Unlike economics which is mathmatical and can be easily seen and reported, foreign policy deals with human emotion and is difficult to gauge.  Having said that, some things can be seen easily.  What is the most obvious is that the world is on the brink of conflict. Countries like North Korea, China, and Iran are powerful and unstable.  If they decided to make a move, the consequences could be massive.  Technology exists today that people 15 years ago couldnt even imagine.  Bombs small enough to fit in brief cases can destroy entire cities.  It has been shown that China has been behind numerous technological attacks on our nation. Icluding hacking large companies computer systems.  Iran is seeking an EMP that, if detonated, would destroy all of our satellites.  Cars, phones, computers, and everything else that uses a satellite with shut off; the effects would be catostrophic. 

One of the biggest dangers in this area is our debt to China.  If we look back through history to the post WW2 area, we can look at a simliar situation.  Soon after the Suiz canal was built, England and France began fighting with Egypt over control of it.  The U.S, war-weary, wanted to avoid conflict at all costs.  At this time, The U.S owned billions of dollars of English debt.  They threatened that if England did not cease fighting with Egypt, they would liquidate Englands debt, causing the destruction of the English currency.  England was forced to back off.  Many historians consider this to be the official end of the British Empire.  This is the exact power that China has over us today. They can wage economic warfare against us, if they so choose.  The only thing keeping them from doing this is the fact that we are funding their growth.  When they no longer need us, they could do this.

Big Brother

To me, this is the scariest trend that we are seeing today.  Over the years since 9/11, our gov't has ripped our freedom from us in the name of 'security'.  This was begun by the Patriot Act.  This bill was shoved through in the wake of 9/11, and allowed the gov't to take away the liberty of Americans more than ever before in history.  To start with it allowed the gov't to monitor phone calls, emails, and internet use.  It also allowed the gov't to take American citizens prisoner without a trial, denying them of their sixth ammendant rights.  In edition to the Patriot Act several Executive orders were passed under the Bush administration to rob Americans of their freedom.  Including one that allowed anyone who the President considers an 'enemy combatant of the state' to be treated as a war criminal.  Also under the Partiot Act, security cameras and other invasive technologies have increased.  One example of this technology is OnStar.  The service, found in almost all new cars, can see see how fast your car is going and shut it off anytime it wants.  Even if the service is not activated!

What I am most fearful of, is that when the nation falls apart and chaos ensues, the result will be martial law.  This would mean a ploice state where Constitutional rights are denied, in the name of 'public good'.  In a choatic situation, our nation could quickly find itself in a Communist-like state.  Don't believe me?  Look at what happened after Katrina.  The steps have already been taken to do this.  The surveillence needed to spy on citizens is already in place.  A private army, Blackwater, is slowly moving to towns all across the nation. In fact, we have cocentration camps.  They are called FEMA camps and they exist all around our nation.  I would encourage you to look up what these FEMA camps are.  The steps have been taken, martial law is a real possibility.

What can we do?

I have given a detailed response as to what can be done to prepare for this collapse; it is called: How to Prepare.  If you have any questions I would encourage you to look to that.  I, however, want to focus on something else right now.  If the worst case scenario happens, and everything falls apart and martial law follows; thousands will die.  I will fight this until I die, but the fact is that the people might lose.  We could find ourselves in a bleak situation, but there is hope. Our hope is found in Jesus Christ.  Even if I die, my hope is not found in this world, it is found in Him.  If you do not know Him today, seek Him out.  Read a Bible and talk to those around you who can help.  My email is on this blog so email me your questions and I will get back to you.  Time may be running out, turn your lives over to Christ today.  To those of you who do know Him, find your peace in Him.  Times are about to get very tough, but no gov't can take your faith away from you.  We must stand firm in hardship and be a light to this world, even if it costs us everything.  Today is the day to give it all up to Him who can save your soul.  DO NOT WAIT, tommorow isn't promised.
