WHAT DOES THE BLOG NAME MEAN?


2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

We cannot avoid the affairs of life mentioned in Verse 4. But, we must be very sure that we do not become entangled in them. We must, through Christ and uncommon sense, master the affairs of life.

Hardness in Verse 3 is what we today call "hard times". So, good soldiers simply endure. Millions of saints and sinners have survived hard times before us. Have we learned from them, or will we repeat all the dumb choices? Hmmmmmmm

TANK


There must be a reaction for every action.


Americans, personally, as government, in banking, and intelligentsia want more and more for nothing but an IOU. Well, the fat lady is in her closing aria, and the house will collapse soon.


Fear gains nothing for a survivor. Thinking outside of the box is the key to survival.





This video is useful, but in a limited way.


The problem with the pundits today is that they are talking about the Mayan dooms day end of the world in 2012. No one talks about the prophecies in the Bible. Why? Answer: God will NOT tell you the day nor the hour of anything. That makes futurists mad. They want God to tell them the day and hour so they can sell stock and run to the Amazon rain forest and hide. Until then, they want to play with their own destiny.


Here is Jesus Christ talking about the destiny of Israel in the near future. If you think that you can sit in Kansas and watch without feeling the fear and physical terror of the moment, you are dead wrong. The whole world will spiral into terror and turmoil. 


There is the hope of the Lord's Church being removed at some point, but as the Hebrews in Egypt, the righteous will experience the plagues of the early era of the coming trouble before Christ takes them out.


Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.


The USA will enter this scene with great aspirations of making a fat profit our of war making and oil. The total lack of mention of the USA in Bible prophecy tells me that the USA is totally broken and trashed by this ongoing process. Indeed, the USA may become a banana republic long before the above prophecy by Jesus.


So, the present economic malaise, and our leaders' total inability to act to reverse the crisis, means that we are very likely coming to the final act for the USA. God is done with the USA, and you cannot convince him to change his mind. He will have justice for all the death by war, abortion, bad medical care that kills more than it helps, and for the suicidal death wish Americans have for themselves spiritually.

Prepare to meet thy God, saint. It will be a very good day indeed.

Thank You for your postings! I do read them and they are very insight full. I believe we will get a taste of the bad things to come How much of a taste? I don't know but a taste nevertheless.

I say live simple, this isn't our home. 2012 will be another hard year.

All the best for the coming year.

In Christ
