Are We all Ready?

The message of the day is 'prepare'. Just as the wise brides maids, we need to keep oil in our lamps.

One reason, of course, is our great hope of the 'Rapture', the other is keeping ourselves girded up for persecution.

It's coming. In fact, it's already here, as I'm sure you already know. Everything around me is telling me to be prepared.

So how do we stay prepared? Reading and prayer. Natch. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. And it's so true. Stay well fed.

Pray each day for the strength to get through another day. Pray that you will be prepared, girded up, sitting on the rock, when the onslaught comes. Persecution is headed for all of us.

First the 10 commandments, then the nativity sets, then any mention of Christmas, then the crosses. Now will they come for our language? Will it become illegal to say 'Jesus' out loud? Will the churches pull down all mention of Christ or the Temple or the Mount of Olives, to keep from having their building burned down?

Will we be forced to regress, returning to the beginnings of the church? Hiding in caves? Holding secret meetings?

Who knows how far it will go. This we do know - we were warned and told to be prepared. So prepare, we must.

It HAS to be the last generation

When, in all of history, did society come to the conclusion that animals were also devine? Of course, I'm not talking about India, I'm talking about the known 'Christian' world. And of course, I'm talking about seeing animals in general, right down to the coyote, as being on a level with humans.

I came close to an argument about that very thing, recently. Someone on facebook worshipped a link calling for the boycot of Idaho potatoes. Why? Evidently because they are killing coyotes.

I made some statement about protecting a human before I'd protect an animal and the fire storm began. How strange, we've become.

Today, people will spend thousands on surgery for a dog, while they give very little to the poor. Go figure.

Half our generation will stand up and rail against the Nativity set, even on the front lawn of a church but they don't blink an eye at the wholesale slaughter of unborn children.

It's not just sin in the streets, it's also sin against mankind, today. We've gone from logic to insanity.

I'm in my 60's and remember my grand-parents well. They were farmers. I'll never forget the day my grandmother discovered we had a dog 'in the house'. It was upside down logic, to her. Dogs had a purpose in life and it wasn't lying on the livingroom floor or chewing up ones house shoes.

We, as Christians, have bought into a lot of this modern day attitude, without realizing the shift. Who among us would snap the neck of a chicken and yet we eat it, all the time. Your grand parents did.

We have so lost the realities of life, it's no wonder we have 'tree huggers', perfectly willing to put hundreds out of work. And think about it: how many millions of dollars have been spent in the name of some beetle, and then even more to support those who can't find work? Kind of silly, don't you think? Upside down thinking.

To add to that, we have lazy Christians to stand up to these crazy folks. The few who will voice an opinion, get shot in the streets for daring to carry a sign, calling the baby killers, 'baby killers'. Are we really so spineless?

We've gone completely from the 'Scarlet Letter', to coddling pregnant teenagers. Our society has gone from straight laced social conduct, all the way to no fences at all.

How many of us, living in our 60's today, remember the hippy age? Our generation was completely divided. More than half our generation went the way of no regulations, free love, free clinics and food stamps, living in communes and 'doing their own thing'.  Boy, do I remember the 'do your own thing' thing. As long as you were doing their thing, you were doing your own thing but if you really did your own thing, you had to be converted. Seems to me that's what I see in the Democratic party, these days. Seems to me, the same division. And of course, we must do their thing. Right now, 'their thing' is destroying the U.S.

The last generation? It has to be. Where could we possibly go from here? The world is upside down, compared to 50 years ago.

Life is so much easier and healthier, than it ever has been in history. That's true and along with it came perversion and laziness. Human kind, I suppose, can't be healthy. One thing or another, will drop down the drain. It's like we have a choice between 'body and soul' and 'happiness and wealth'.

We weren't just subjected to the sins of this world, we let it happen. The church didn't stand up, in one accord, when the time was right. We watched the crazy costumes, in the 'gay pride' parade, jam up our streets and push their attitude in our faces.

We in the U.S., live in a free society. Should I say, 'used to'? So we allow these things for that cause. Yet, the favor was never returned. Those among us whom we allowed freedom, desire to take our away.

I'm beginning to ramble but I think you see my point. People ask, "How do you know this is the last days"? and I say, "look around you". The people asking are so blind, they don't see what has changed. Only a Christian with a foundation of rock, can see it.

I think you'd be shocked to discover, this perverted society is sitting in the pew, next to you. Hang onto your foundation.

The 'hippy generation' was the beginning of the end. What followed, immediately, were the 'bra burners' and then pushing the homosexual to the front of the line. That portion of our generation has begat a whole generation of perversion and theirs have now had children. 'Those' children, kill other children and even their parents. Yup! The beginning of the end.  Anyone here, remember the days of hanging babies in trees, to die? I sure do.

So now, ask me why I'm convinced this is the last generation. All these symptoms, added to what Jesus said, and I'm convinced.

TV Converter Box coupon program

I got an envelope in the mail, from that TV converter box program. There's even a card inside, looks suspiciously like a credit card with an identifying number on it.

I'm glad they included a web address so I can more quickly send a message to these people. I don't intend to go along with the crowd. I may be sheep but this sheep belongs to Jesus. NOT the government.

The news folks, on TV, have been telling us for weeks, where to get this coupon. It's pretty amazing, don't you think, that when I don't ask for one, I still get this thing in the mail, with my name-address-and a card numbering me.

Why is the government, so intent on every citizen having this converter box? What does that converter box do? It sure seems to be of utmost importance.

First off, I'm mad as hell about this. I have a little hand held TV that will now be useless. Who do I go to, to get my money back on a gadget, the whole world knew would soon be rendered useless? Nobody! It's the governments, fault? What's the deal here?

When I was still very young, those of us who dwelt on prophecy, wondered how on earth would the anti-christ know who had Bibles in their homes and who didn't. We looked at that TV and wondered.

Today, TV's are considered a necessity and is in every home. Added to that, is the internet and now look, how many homes are connected to the internet.

Our own government has been monitoring the internet, in the name of security. Now they want us all connected to this little box. Why? Why does the government care about our entertainment? Interesting.

This envelope and everything in it, is going in the trash. Probably, the government would already have access to that knowledge but I can't help but want to speak my piece. I will (stupidly) make sure they know, I'm not going along with the program and wondering if I can sue the heck out of "who ever" for rendering my toys unusable.

I not only have a collection of movies, I have the internet (which I consider dangerous enough). My great-grand parents lived out their lives without that TV. I can, too.

If the coming anti-christ wants to attach a number to me, let him/them come out in the open to do it.

Get this: on the back it states not only the usual security code "283"
it also states"It is illegal to sell, duplicate or tamper with this coupon. Coupon will not be replaced if lost or stolen. One time use only..................
Retailer support center: www.NTIADTV.gov or 1-866-296-1107  (note the .gov)

And every time I hear about this on TV, they mention 'the government has mandated' and mentions a certain date when this is to be accomplished.

Does anybody else smell a rat?
