I've been thinking about doing this for some time... the fulfillment of scriptures. It's very exciting to see it take place, and to say, "I knew that would happen," for it's written in God's word. I found this report at the Iranian blog on the Middle East Media Research Institute.
The Iranian website Asr-e Iran reported that the head of the Moscow-based Center for Studies on Modern Iran, Rajab Safarov, has presented to the Kremlin a proposal to establish an Iran-Russia strategic and military alliance, following the tension between Russia and the West in the Caucasus and the possibility of Georgia and Ukraine joining NATO.
Under the proposal, Russia would form a security pact with Iran and Syria, and would also maintain military bases in Iranian Azerbaijan in northwest Iran and on the Iranian island of Qeshm, near the Strait of Hormuz, in the Persian Gulf, in order to monitor the movements of the West and NATO in the region.
In exchange, Russia would promise Iran military support in the event of a U.S. or Israeli attack, and would provide it with nuclear technology.

'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of [b] Meshech and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army... and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush [c] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
22 I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. (from Ezek. 38)
The stage for the fulfillment of Ezek. 38 continues to be filled out. Tensions are high right now, things are almost in place for when our Savior brings about the consummation of His will to establish His rightful reign on earth (Zech 14:9). Will Psalm 83 be fulfilled, with along with Isaiah 17:1, preapring the way for Magog to come out of the north? Time will shortly reveal... and I can tell you where my hope is! Maranatha!

Is A Prophetic Move In Store for Javier?
The other day I was reading in Isaiah 11, on the return of the Jewish Messiah, and I read this verse:
4 but He will judge the poor righteously and execute justice for the oppressed of the land. He will strike the land with discipline from His mouth, and He will kill the wicked with a command from His lips. Isaiah 11:4 (HCSB)
Something about “the wicked” caught my attention. I think I had heard this as a reference to the antichrist before. Thinking about Christ’s return in His power and glory, His return to Mount Olivet while the antichrist is reigning from the temple in Jerusalem. 2 Thess. 2:8 tells us of the Messiah’s return:
“8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming” 2 Thessalonians 2:8
It seems to me that “He will kill the wicked with a command from His lips” and “whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth” are indeed the same idea. When Isaiah speaks of the Messiah returning, and killing the wicked with the breath of His mouth, he is speaking of not just a category of people who have rejected Him and His ways, He is speaking first and primarily of the antichrist, whom scripture calls “the wicked”.
In a past blog, you’ll remember that I shared with you about a man whose name is little known by most Americans, Javier Solana. Being born from Madrid, Spain, he has risen to the ranks of the High Representative of Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU (which calls itself the revived Roman Empire!). We have talked about how this man, more than any other living man on earth (that we know of) fits the biblical description for the antichrist. (http://www.prophecynews.co.uk/content/view/18/27/). And he has already been involved for sometime working among Middle Eastern diplomats, helping to forge a ‘peace plan’ for the Middle East.
This article suggests:
The EU must now prepare itself to keep the process alive from the end of this year through to next spring. Considering such a task we also have to be aware of the particular structures of the Union. The Union, through its Council of Foreign Ministers, should as soon as possible give a mandate to Javier Solana, the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU, to make himself available, with the approval of Israel, the Palestinians, and the current U.S. administration, as a temporary mediator for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations from the end of the year. The EU can act as a temporary trustee for the process, thereby preventing it from breaking down and, given its knowledge of the regional situation, help the parties to find practical solutions for some of the most complicated final-status questions - for example, the political division of Jerusalem as the future capital of two states - only to hand back the process and the role of external guidance to Washington once the new administration there is ready for it. http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/August28/2832.html
for original article see http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/08/26/opinion/edperthes.php
Something within me tells me that America isn’t going to be in the picture. Three is too much talk and threat of nuclear war going down in the Middle East and of Jihad in America on up to ten major cities at once. Much nuclear fissle material has been stolen since the end of the cold war. I’m thinking that America may see a national crisis this fall, and that our nation is not going to be in a place to act as mediator or facilitator of peace negotiations in the Middle East.
This will very well open the door for the Revived Roman Empire to assume the position of power the United States has held for so long. Then Javier, as the High Representative, and the head of the EU military force, will step up after the Church is taken out of the way (2 Thess. 2:7). So, as of yet, it’s hasn’t happened, but it seems to be a very possible scenario, and the scriptural fulfillments are moving rapidly that way. It is very exciting to watch, and as Jack Kelley at www.gracethrufaith.com would say, we can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah!

To Be Truly Saved...
I just read this article, it's a bit lengthy, but definitely good. Mr. Penfold has quite an explanation on the Three soils that didn't perserver to the end or produce fruit. Throughout the church in America, so many are deceived into believing that they are saved when they truly are not. Penfold does a good job giving examples of this, explaining the soils parable our Savior gave us.
At the end of the article, he gives a test (we are commanded to "test ourselves to see if we are in the faith; 2 Cor. 13:5) that is spelled out in the epistle of 1 John:
A saving faith in Christ (1 John 5:13)?
A real relationship with the Father and Son (1 John 1:2-3)?
A sensitivity to sin (1 John 1:5-10)?
A desire to be obedient to God (1 John 2:3-6)?
A love of the Father rather than the world (1 John 2:15-17)?
An expectant anticipation of Christ’s return (1 John 3:2-3)?
A decreasing pattern of sin in your life (1 John 3:4-9)?
An experience of the world’s hatred (1 John 3:13)?
A love for the believers (1 John 3:14)?
Regular answered prayer (1 John 3:22, 5:14-15)?
Discernment of error and false doctrine (1 John 4:1-3, 6)?
The witness of the Holy Spirit within (1 John 5:10)?
If you have these things in your life, God's word tells us that this is what a believers life should look like.

Fortune-tellers actually speak to spirit-guides?
Okay, so let me tell you how I came to these sites. It started this morning listening to an interview done on christianworldviewnetwork.com w/ a guy who used to be a psychich/medium, who consulted with 15 spirit guides! FIFTEEN!!! Yes, that's what I said... though he said he regularly just spoke with two, Phil and Miriam. Anyway, he's now born-again, and amazed the same thing (of connecting with spirit-guides, a.k.a. demons) is being taught in the church, only under the name "contemplative-prayer," or "breaeth prayers," or "centering prayer."
So I went to check out his website, www.onetruthministries.com, and looked at his links section. 3 that I thought were just great, and deserving of most of you knowing about are:
1. www.sacredsandwich.com - satirical parodies w/ an edge of Biblical truth
2. www.refugeminstries.cc - resource help for those formerly involved in the occult or Satanism
3. www.webtruth.org - speaks of current trends and dangers in the UK church (and thus
abroad).

The Audacity of Honesty
It seems some eviedence of our Denocratic presidential candidate has turned up of his connections (and service) with a radical leftist organization [ACORN] that promotes socialism. Of course, this has been taught and is promoted in most of our universities and Ivy League schools (whiile American studies and capitalism, how our coutry has risen and functions)! When you hear the word 'socialism,' think Nazi Germany, Communism, for that's what it is.
"Barack Obama's failure to accurately report his campaign's financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign's interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing 'new' politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the 'old-style' Chicago politics of yesterday," stated RNC Spokeswoman Blair Latoff.
And true to form, once Obama was criticized for his past dealings, he did not explain or apologize for his actions, but pointed the finger.
Obama's camp fired back, accusing the RNC of "outlandish conspiracy theories" and pointing out Sen. John McCain was forced to return $50,000 "raised by a foreign national through a number of contributors who weren't even supporting McCain."
Watch out Obama... you should take the logs [sic] out of your own eye before taking out others' specks.
Last July, ACORN settled what was described by the Washington Secretary of State as the "largest case of voter fraud in the state's history." Government prosecutors had filed felony charges against seven ACORN workers, who ended up receiving jail time.
...
ACORN was also investigated in 2006 for submitting false voter registrations in St. Louis. Nearly 1,500 fraudulent voter registrations were identified in the case, which was tied to at least one campaign, that of Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. Four ACORN workers were indicted in the case.
...
ACORN strongly lobbies for gun control, leftist education policies, and the regulation of banks, targeting the lending practices of major financial institutions it sees as "predatory." It has a strong anti-capitalism agenda.
Finally, we hear Obama's truthful confession (though it wasn't intended to be):
"I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work," Obama told ACORN members in November. [emphaiss mine]
for Obama's story, see http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=73335
Mmmmm. Seems like the virtuous, honest, truthful man who won't practice corruption that I want leading our country!
The presidential mantra has been about bringing 'change,' and Obama will bring it! But IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FOR THE GOOD of our nation, not the way we have historically known it. I mean, seriously, Obama has openely state that he wants to raise taxes on those who provide jobs, making it tougher for them to hire or expand business. He wants to increase government handouts (i.e. healthcare, etc.) which is going to increase taxes, decrease quality of healthcare (see healthcare, Canada), maybe more importantly, TAKE AWAY INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, and lead more rapidly to the economic downfall of our county.
Kirk Cameron had this to say about the presidential race:
"The hope for our country is not going to be who governs us as a nation; it's really not in the laws that govern us so much as it is in the power of God working in the hearts of people," Cameron explains in an interview with The Associated Press.
Cameron says he wishes he felt better about this year's presidential candidates. "I enjoyed watching Rick Warren's forum with Obama and McCain. You know, it's just one of those deals where you want the godliest man possible in there -- and frankly, I wish I felt better about both of the candidates this year," he adds. [all italics mine]
Yeah, me too Kirk.
