WhatCouldBeNext

What could be next on our horizon, once the Government owns everything? Once the National Debt exceeds the Gross National Product + All Assets then the Loan Holder owns everything including Us.

Exodus 1:8 ¶ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. 9 And he said to his people, "Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; 10 "come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land." 11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses. 12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel. 13 So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage––in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.

How then will the Government control all of it's holdings?

Revelation 13:16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

God told us what the end would look like, the only question is are we there yet and

Pharaoh's government, led by Joseph, socialized the whole country to where the government ended up owning everything and employing everyone to save the nation. Is this not where we are headed today?

Genesis 47:13 ¶ Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. 15 So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." 16 Then Joseph said, "Give your livestock, and I will give you bread for your livestock, if the money is gone." 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year. 18 When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our herds of livestock. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands. 19 "Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants of Pharaoh; give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the land may not be desolate." 20 Then Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh’s. 21 And as for the people, he moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end. 22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands. 23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. 24 "And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one–fifth to Pharaoh. Four–fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones." 25 So they said, "You have saved our lives; let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants." 26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one–fifth, except for the land of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh’s.

Why couldn't the people of Egypt once forewarned just save their productivity and store up for themselves? Why did their government need to step in?

The Fallen Human Nature. The fact is that we are just too greedy to save for ourselves and others and we don't want to believe gloom and doom on our horizon so we will do nothing and just hope for the best.

It all started in the garden when our parents wouldn't be satisfied with access to the whole created universe save one cursed tree, at the encouragement of one lying serpent they cast aside all they had for one lousy tree. Talk about yer tree huggers.

Well today we see another famine on the horizon. A famine created by our insatiable desire to have more than God wants us to have, just one more tree please. So we all band together and agree to trade one more tree for one more promise of I'll pay you later (credit) and on and on we go until we have more trees and debt than brains and now our governments will have to step in once again and rescue us and will end up owning everything and there is really nothing we addicted tree huggers can do about it.

God save us again, Please!

We've known for years that we are headed to the Rapture and the Tribulation Period like heading for a black hole. So now we look around the world and see all the dominoes falling one after another and man helpless to stop it so maybe we are so close that we can finally see the black hole we're headed for. I think time is short. Keep yer eyes on the sky and don't get caught unprepared. "Ready" for anything.

Luke 17:20 ¶ Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 "nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." 22 Then He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 "And they will say to you, 'Look here!' or 'Look there!' Do not go after them or follow them. 24 "For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 "But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 "They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 "Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 "but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 "Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 "In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 "Remember Lot's wife. 33 "Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 "I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 "Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 "Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left." 37 And they answered and said to Him, "Where, Lord?" So He said to them, "Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together."

Obama to Lift Ban on Overseas Abortion Funding

President Obama is expected to sign the executive order one day after the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.

President Obama on Friday is expected to lift a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Obama will sign the executive order one day after the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.

The move, long expected in the Democratic president's first week in office, will be welcomed by liberals and criticized by abortion rights foes.

The so-called Mexico City policy requires any non-governmental organization to agree before receiving U.S. funds that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."

It is also known as the "global gag rule," because it prohibits taxpayer funding for groups that even talk about abortion if there is an unplanned pregnancy.

The policy was first instituted by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and continued by President George H.W. Bush. The policy was reversed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, and re-instated by President George W. Bush in 2001.

Revelation 6:

9 ¶ When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

How long LORD? How long?

How many of us long to be "used of God" to minister to those around us the way the early Church was used to minister to each other and to their society? How we yearn to "see" our prayers for others answered in the positive and the burdens lifted and the infirmities lifted. How hard is it to have "faith" when our own circumstances begin to deteriorate?

We must look at Abraham and the thing God required of him to demonstrate his faith:

Genesis 22:
1 ¶ Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." 2 Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
3 ¶ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you." 6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" 8 And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So the two of them went together. 9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 ¶ But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am." 12 And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." 13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The–LORD–Will–Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of The LORD it shall be provided."
15 ¶ Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: "By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son –– 17 "blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."


He said ..."because you have done this thing, and have not withheld"..."all the nations of the earth shall be blessed"...

In today's trying times we are often asked to choose between obedience or self provision. We often have to choose to trust God's truthfulness or disbelieve and work it out ourselves.

Even Paul struggled with his weakness and wrote "Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death...? and so this is part of our inherited fallen human nature. We want to "trust and obey" but we frequently worry and try to compensate instead.

We see the needs of others and we pray God to help them and despair as we wait on God. We say Lord, send them away to find food for they haven't eaten and are in need but the Lord says "You feed them". We say where will we find enough to feed this multitude and He says "Oh ye of little faith how many loaves do you have?" still with all this we hold back afraid to loose our own seemingly self-obtained possessions. So God has to take us from time to time to the backside of the mountain and down to the valley to remind us of our own frailty.

Only when we "hear from God" and trust and obey Him implicitly will we ever see the Glory of God working in us and through us.

Lord teach us and just as You give us the faith for salvation give us the faith for obedience. Amen

That's what I think, how about you?

Not a good year financially. losing my full time $15 an hour job & going to a part time $12 an hour job. not good for the finances.

There is nothing nice about the loss many are experiencing these days. I was laid off from my automotive parts job at a Mercedes-Benz franchise the day after Thanksgiving along with many others at our Dealer to reduce expenses due to our shrinking business. Though I am drawing unemployment, which will just cover my modest mortgage payment for the next six months, the rest of my obligations and our food are coming from two of my daughters who are still at home and working. My wife who suffers from maigraines and is recovering from breast cancer and requires a lot of medication and medical attention and hasn't had to work but has raised our five children can't help. However, although we didn't vote for Obama we know it is God who determines the outcome of these elections for He uses both the just and the unjust (I'm not labeling anybody in particular as unjust by the way) to accomplish His will in the His earth. Our government, for whatever there intentions are, is working frantically to deal with this crisis and whether we get washed out with the tide before help comes or not our God has a plan for us. With all that's going on in the world today who knows if God will not just seperate His people from their worldly ties just before He returns to call His Bride out of this world. To help us so we don't look back as did Lots' wife and freely let go of the little we have left in this world. Remember that He said that "NoThing" would seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus and that our names were written down in His book of life from "before" the foundations of the world. _________________ Discovery Rangers Commander, Outpost 314 Harvest Assembly of God Reporter, http://www.rangerforums.com/ Pen.Fl/Central Division/Section 11

When we were younger and our faith was new and our child count was only two of five one son and one daughter and our daughter being two or three as I recall, she was very prone to fever. Every time she would get a cold or something she would get these really bad fevers. We would at the Doctors advice have to take these drastic steps to get her fever down. Alcohol rub downs and even imersing her in a tub of cool or even cold water.

This stuff scared the Dickens out of my wife and I when ever it happened and we felt so helpless. Once when I was away at night school my wife had to deal with it by herself and when she dipped her into cold water she went into resperatory arrest that is she stopped breathing. Fortunately my EMT Father in law lived just next door and jumped over the fence and into the house and revived her and all was well.

Thankfully she eventually grew out of this proneness to fever and grew up healthy but she liked to scare her Mother and I near to death first.

Well one of my favorite recording artists at the time and still was Don Francisco and he did this song taken from the following scripture that really tore me up every time I would hear it because it was all about us. As I used to play a little guitar I did this song myself in our Church a couple of times and it is hard to maintain composure when you're so deeply tied to the story.

So read the scripture and listen and watch Don Francisco and tell me what you think.

Luke 8:40 ¶ So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped. 45 And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'" 46 But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me." 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. 48 And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace." 49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher." 50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well." 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping." 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise." 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
