Again, as already noted in my previous blog, this oil spill will eventually find its way into our great rivers and springs of water.  It has just been reported that oil has seeped into Lake Pontchartrain and suspected to be in the rain soaking most of the gulf coast and central Texas.  It is not a far reach to imagine that this oil can also get into the water table, thus polluting our drinking water and causing untold health risk.  The Bible says, “The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: ‘You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged; for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve” (Revelation 16:4-6). Now that I have your attention, what is the next bowl of God’s wrath being poured upon the earth?

“The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but refused to repent and glorify Him” (Revelation 16:8). The Eastern part of the United States has been experiencing a record setting heat wave these past few days, but I am afraid this is only the beginning. I am sure scientists and climatologists will attempt to explain this a way as they do Global Warming, but in a very short time they will be convinced that this is beyond explanation as scores of the population are rushed to emergency rooms or found dead. Recent medical studies have shown that humans can only survive a limited number of hours in intense heat before dehydration sets in and brain cells begin to die leading to death. Friends, this is only the first of July and what lies ahead will paralyze this nation (perhaps the world) and lead directly into the next bowl of God’s wrath.

“The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but refused to repent of what they had done” (Revelation 16:10). It does not take much imagination to discern what happens next. As the heat index rises it will put an unbelievable strain on an already over extended electric grids which are in desperate need of upgrading. I recently completed a study on these aging electric grids and was shocked to realize that with the exception of Texas, there are only two electric grids in the United States, one for the Western part and one for the Eastern part of the United States. It would not take much strain from one portion of either of these two grids to cause a cascade affect putting most of the United States in total darkness. Imagine if you will, the horror if all computers immediately went off line, along with air conditioners, refrigerators, and needed hospital equipment with people left sitting in the dark. This in itself would be a disaster of a biblical proportion. If we added to this a spiritual darkness it would be devastating with unchecked immorality, complete anarchy, and mass hysteria.

Now what follows are the last two bowels of God’s wrath.   Let me suggest that you go to your Bible and read them for yourself and if you would like a fuller explanation then you can read my book, “Final Warning, because the hour of His Judgment has come.”  Either way, my friends, it is time to prepare for the Great Tribulation by coming to the truth, trusting in Jesus Christ alone, and remaining faithful to Him. I implore every Christian to pray that they are prepared to meet Christ at His magnificent return to punish the evil doer and visibly rapture in Church in glory.

As we enter one of the most aggressive hurricane seasons on record, I cannot even imagine what a hurricane would do with oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Dealing with oil on the beach is one thing, but what if we had to deal with it in our streets, in our businesses, in our homes? What if we had to rescue humans covered in oil? What if this is no longer isolated to just the Gulf Coast but found its way up the great rivers to our inner cities? Now imagine if you will, the dispersants mixed with oil which could possibly cause untold diseases and catastrophic health hazards of a biblical proportion.  It staggers the imagination, or is it prophetic?

What if we are dealing with the wrath of God? The Bible clearly indicates that during the Great Tribulation that his angels, “will pour out his bowl (God’s wrath) on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.” (Revelation 16:3) The shocking truth about this prophecy is that dead man’s blood is a brownish red color that is very similar to that of the oil spill. And we have all seen the devastation it has had on the wildlife. Our hearts have broken when we have seen birds and other wildlife struggle to free themselves from the encasement of oil.

God loves you.  He loves His world, but he will not allow greed which is idolatry to capture the souls of men. He will not stand by idle as lawlessness ravages the helpless and drugs rob a man of his character. He will not turn a blind eye to the hate that pits one man against another. He will not rest as man destroys the world and himself in the process. God will continue to pour His wrath down on a wicked world until everyone who is called repents of their sin and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. God will not rest until all that is destined to be saved are saved.

No matter how hard we try to reverse the effects of these plagues they will only get worse until Christ returns at the end of the age to rapture His Church and send the evil doer to hell and eternal punishment.  Christians must strengthen their faith and boldly witness to their neighbor while time is still left to do so. There will come a time when no man will receive your witness, but blame you for what is happening in the world.  Christians can no longer remain silent!

But, is there ever a time when Christians must not submit to the Governing authorities? Is there ever a time when Christians, even under the threat of arrest, imprisonment, or persecution should refuse to follow the commands of the Government? Again, clearly from God’s Word the answer is a resounding yes. However, in these last days Satan and his henchmen have made it difficult if not nearly impossible for most Christians to see where it is necessary to resist their commands. The Bible says, “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”  (II Co.11:14-15) Even though Satan and his henchmen will in the end get what they deserve for leading the Christian community to accept their rules and regulations as something good instead of rejecting them as an anathema, we must look closely at what they are asking us to do.

If the government says let’s spread the wealth around and give a helping hand to those who really need it, then on the surface this appears to be a good thing.  Even the early Christians did the same thing where none was in need. So why should Christians be so alarmed?  Have not Christians lived under socialism before? But we must look deeper. In the guise of helping others who are in need this health bill will probably be passed into law soon. If everyone is required to carry health insurance and to follow the dictates of the government to stay healthy, then we must ask what their definition of healthy is. This is very important, because if their definition of healthy includes what you think, what you believe, and how you act then Christians would immediately have a problem. Yet I am afraid that is exactly where the new health bill is headed.  Let me explain.

This health bill will look at the whole person, both his mental and physical well being. For years now psychologists have connected the dots by explaining that the mind has an essential role in our overall health. So if this bill is designed to keep us healthy and reduce cost then the mind must be analyzed by the professionals. And in time it will be required that everyone undergo this analysis to help him maintain his health and reduce cost for the greater good of the community. So, what’s the problem? As the world drifts further away from God then patients who have a strong zealousness to follow Jesus Christ as Lord may be seen as having a neurotic disorder or other psychological disorder that would require drugs or even confinement. And for those who are not so zealous in their faith will be led to put their trust in self and the professional to bring healing to their mind and unwanted behaviors.  In either case the patient will be brought to the altar of the beast to worship him as their true savior.  Where this will all lead can only stagger the imagination, but dear Christian we must resist.  Only Jesus Christ is the Wonderful Counselor who changes our behavior and brings healing to the whole person.

Furthermore, we have all gone for years having the experts tell us the truth, only to find out years later that they have changed their mind and it was not truth after all, but just another hypothetical truth or learned opinion. We have seen this in science, politics, psychology, and even medicine. Think about the number of times the experts have changed their mind on child rearing, global warming, traditional medical practices, the safety of prescription drugs or what is the best health care plan for America. Isn’t anyone speaking the truth? If we listen to God and not the world then we will come to know the truth – revelation truth.

We have had politicians say that they are speaking the truth to only discover that it was just a lie and of course this was after we voted for them thinking that they would really bring change to a besieged world. Most are caught in a web of deceit, being tossed in one direction and then another. More and more information is thrown at you daily and even on an hourly basis. It is coming at faster and faster speeds from many different channels. The world is on information overload and it does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Not only are people more confused, but they are always learning but unable to come to the truth. They are always seeking, but never finding. Only the bright light of God’s revealed truth will expose the lies and deception. God’s truth will show you the way. It will set you free!

God’s truth will guide you along the narrow way – a way that is so opposite from the world that only a few find it – a way that will bring you from death to life, but first you must stop listening to the world and start listening to God. Really listen, not just sort of listen. Doing so will set you free from the bondages of this world and open your eyes to a new reality. “Once I was blind, but now I see.” God’s truth allows you to see things from a new perspective. It gives you a new world view. You will see things differently. You will understand things differently. Then you will soon discover that Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of truth.

Friends, my desire is to look only briefly at the events unfolding in this world and then to look intently at God at work in His world, listening only to His voice. Many of our leaders foolishly think that they are controlling events in this world and don’t realize that they are either pawns of the devil or servants of the most High God. I have said it so many times in the past and will say it again– “nothing happens by accident, God is in control”. God will bring this world to a conclusion at the end of the Great Tribulation and at the glorious return of His Son Jesus Christ. I pray that you come to the Truth so that the scales will fall from your eyes so that you can really see what is happening in the world. You may be shocked!

Let’s be clear about one thing we are not talking about terrorists. We are not talking about an alien invasion. We are not talking about organized crime, but we are talking about people who gave us no warning that they would explode causing unbelievable carnage and untold suffering to their fellow citizens. From the best I can tell most of these people looked rather normal to their peers, family members and friends. Although one similar trait among them was that they appeared aloof, distant or a loner. What was going on to cause these people to explode? What kind of pressure were they under?

We all know that a boiler that has too much pressure will eventually explode. Let me suggest that this country has lost its way and are churning out citizens who expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter with little or no work. They expect to be treated with honor and respect when they have never been taught how to give it. They look at all that the world has to offer and if they don’t get it then the pressure begins to build. Or if someone attempts to take away what they do have then the pressure continues to build to unsafe limits. Unfortunately most people in this country would be horrified to lose all of their material possessions, because they cannot separate their life from them.

Add to this the moral decline and the total disregard for the law and you have a recipe for disaster. As our leaders in high places are caught in every manner of sin and the talking heads continue to fan the flames of discontent, then many question their moral authority to pass laws or even their right to enforce them. Then if that were not enough the philosophy of tolerance has led many to reject the truth peddled by the establishment for their own set of values which in many cases are no values at all, but rank lawlessness.  Regrettably with this country’s drift away from Christianity and absolute truth, she has lost her moral anchor.  Set adrift in the sea of immorality she will continue her decline into lawlessness. So where will this all lead? Anarchy!

As the world comes crashing in from all around you it is time for every true Christian to take a deep look within and make sure you have not been captivated by the world of materialism. Can you give up everything for the cause of Christ knowing that He will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can handle?  Are you unsettled when you do not receive the honor and respect that you have become accustomed to or are you following the example of Christ who humbled himself to death even death on a Cross? Do you follow the world in their godless counseling and drugs to ease the pain or do you run to Christ who promises to be with us in the midst of our greatest suffering? Friends, it’s only going to get worse as we fast approach His Second Coming so please do not follow the world in these godless acts, but remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ to love one another so that the world will know that we are His disciples.

Friends, this is really scary, because Ahmadinejad believes that he has the backing of Allah in whatever he does or plans to do on February 11^th 2010. And if he is able to carry it off then he will see it as the will of Allah that will only embolden him to carry out even more telling blows upon the West.  Moreover he has indicated that the United States is the Great Satan, which is one- step-removed from believing that her leader is the dreaded Anti-Christ spoken of in the Christian Bible.

“In the Book of Revelation it indicates that the sixth angel sounded his trumpet and the four angels who are bound at the great River Euphrates are released which in prophecy these particular angels signify a representative of an earthly kingdom or nation (See Revelation 9:12-19). The four nations from the area of the Euphrates River will arise and mount an army in the millions to kill indiscriminately men, women and children with ”fire, smoke, and sulfur” – sounds like explosives. This demonic scourge from the East will kill a third of mankind. And we call it terrorism.”  (Final Warning, By Rev. Daniel W. Blair)

Let’s count the nations. There is Iraq (which we believe is now under control) there is Afghanistan (which is like trying to make a deal with the devil) there is Pakistan (who is holding on by a thread and sitting on an nuclear arsenal) and then there is Iran wanting to pull it all together with one powerful (or telling) blow.  Is it to unite all the radical Muslims from around the world to follow President Almadinejad’s in a united front against the West?

Mahmoud Ahmadinehad should be taken seriously.  If he says “I will wipe Israel off the map” then he truly has the will to do it.  We can only hope and pray that he does not yet have the means!  Although this administration takes him more seriously than her citizens by the increasing military presence in that part of the world, she still greatly underestimates the Biblical prophecy that warns about these coming events in history.  As the author of the book “Final Warning” I encourage Christians from around the world to get on their knees and pray earnestly that we have more time for self-reflection, repentance, and witness to the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.

But now in the new administration everything must change. The new world order simply cannot be built on the old foundation. It must be destroyed. Any one religion can no longer exclusively dictate man’s beliefs, passions, and character. Over the years through the teaching or indoctrination of tolerance the exclusiveness of world religions have been eroded.  Step by step the world is returning to a time when the last world empire was being built by Rome. This was a time when all world religions were accepted as long as one did not claim superiority over the rest.  This was a time when Rome set the standard, enacted its laws, and pointed the people to one individual who took his place among the gods by claiming his own divinity.

Any religion that does not fall in line and accept this new doctrine of tolerance is seen as an enemy of the new world order and specifically of the new administration.  Clinton said at the national prayer breakfast, “In politics, we sometimes talk about message discipline – making sure everyone uses the same set of talking points. Well, whoever was in charge of message discipline on these issues for every religion certainly knew what they were doing. Regardless of our differences, we all got the same talking points and the same marching orders. So the charge is a personal one. Yet across the world, we see organized religion standing in the way of faith, perverting love, undermining that message.” Secretary of State Clinton speaking out of the same liberal play book indicates clearly that the one who gives the talking points to all of the world religions is the same God and some are not listening to that message.

Clinton continues by saying, “So in the Obama Administration, we are working to bridge religious divides.” Clearly Clinton indicated that those religions that did not conform to the standards, behaviors, and tolerance of the new world order are considered as terrorists and must be brought into the fold or destroyed.  Now what deeply concerns me as a Christian is that one day they will not stop with the Muslim terrorists but will continue their destructive agenda against classic Christianity. If Christians refuse to bridge those religious divides and listen to the same talking points of all other world religions then we too will be seen as an enemy of the State. If Christians living in the last days claim the exclusiveness of Christianity then we too will be treated as the Christians of first century Rome and bear the brunt of religious persecution from the State. Today they come for the Muslim fanatic; tomorrow they will come for the Christian fanatic who believes in the exclusiveness of Christianity.

But it does not stop here. The new administration is striking at the glue that holds people together by destroying the family unit. Not only is history being changed in the required public school but now they are also indoctrinating our children that family values and traditional hierarchy of the family must be changed. Step by step the children, your children, are being taught to question the beliefs and values of their parents. They are taught that all religions need to be accepted as equals and tolerance for another man’s beliefs are essential in order to live at peace in the new world order. Moreover, a time will come if it has not already done so, that children will report their own parents to the State as a non-believer of the new way.

Now immediately the walls start coming up over such a notion because the world has been conditioned to think of things without God’s personal involvement. As the world increases in more global tragedies which appear to be getting larger by the day she is forced to follow her leaders in responding to each of these devastating events. The international news organizations are on top of everything with reporters on the scene with a moment by moment commentary on the unfolding event. International governments begin to swing into action with relief efforts of food, medicine, and a team of secular counselors to help the depressed. Then after things seem to be well in hand everyone begins to congratulate them for a job well done honoring the heroes and glorifying their own efforts.

But where is God in all of this? Has He gone to sleep? Is this not His world and is He not in charge of it? Well most theologians will say they agree on this point. Yes, even Christians of every stripe will sit in their churches every week and say emphatically God is in control of this world and nothing happens by accident. Yet when a tragedy like this one comes on the scene where an estimated 500,000 people have died in one day they are extremely quiet. They somehow believe it is easier to just follow the world in their relief effort and say nothing for the fear of being misunderstood.

So dear friends, if we believe that God is truly in charge of His world and nothing happens by accident then we have only two choices. We either believe that God has allowed the event to take place without divine intervention or He actually caused the event to take place. There is no middle ground here for if you believe otherwise, then you cannot say that you believe that God is in charge of this world. So now as believers we must ask God for wisdom to understand the difference. And this is not just for one person to ask this question, to speak as a prophet unless he feels led to do so, but for each and every person. To do so will help you to respond properly to God’s mercy and or judgment.

I can’t say why this calamity has specifically come upon the Haitian people, but I can tell them to call out to God, the One true God for mercy and if repentance is necessary, do so immediately asking Him for forgiveness. I can say that God is in control!  His Word in the Bible indicates that He will and already has poured out his wrath upon a wicked world. God is the one who sends the seven angels forth to blow their trumpets which unleashes the plagues and woes descending upon the earth. (See Revelation 8:6-9:20) He is the one who sends forth the angels with bowls of His wrath to be poured upon the earth in the last days. (See Revelation 16) And if there is any misunderstanding about the last days, the coming of Christ ushered in the last days to come to a conclusion on His mighty return to earth. The Christian Bible clearly indicates that the hour of his judgment has come and it is time for all people from every tribe, people, language, and nation to repent asking God for forgiveness.

Finally, we can help the Haitian people in the relief effort, but if we do not seek to lead them to repentance of their sins and the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord then we have really done nothing but given them momentary relief. And if that is all we can do, then are they really any better off when they face the judgment seat of God and eternal damnation? As the world races toward the end of days will the Church remain silent or will she speak in a unified voice proclaiming God’s truth about His involvement in the world. Will the church become a true witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Or will we enter the Great Tribulation with no witnesses – I pray not!

I am reminded of God’s Word that says, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” (Rom. 1:20) As the world draws closer to the end even the pagan will question what is clearly seen.  Most of the known world is concerned about global warming and climate change.  There is a real fear of the increase in wicked weather and the predictions of massive earthquakes.  Learned men from both camps question the possibility of a new world order and the impending slavery of civilization. Then they have heard the prophets, I being one of them, who have written about God’s Final Warning, because the hour of His judgment has come.  And on top of all that we now have these predictions about 2012 and the end of the world.

Any independent observer may dismiss all of this about 2012 as rubbish; however, what causes me to take notice are the unexplained coincidences between predictions of Nostradamus and Mayan Long Calendar produced by the Maya civilization (August 11, 3114 BC) and scheduled to end on December 21, 2012. The newly discovered book of Nostradamus was found in an Italian public library in Rome, Italy. The book contains many watercolor images that seem to be showing some of his many predictions. The last seven images are the most important in the entire book because they predict how and when the world is going to end.

One thing that must be understood before trying to decode his message is that during that time they used a thirteen sign zodiac as opposed to our modern twelve sign zodiac. The thirteenth sign was Ophiuchus, which is Greek for serpent-holder. The number thirteen is regarded as the unluckiest number and the snake is associated with evil. This sign is located between the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio.

The reason Ophiuchus is so important is that it crosses the line of the Celestial Equator. The Celestial Equator passes directly through a dark hole in the sky, which is the center of the Milky Way galaxy, also known as the dark rift. The point of Sagittarius’ arrow point directly at the center of the galaxy and when a line is drawn from the tip of the arrow to the end of Scorpio’s tail it passes directly through the center of the galaxy. The line from the arrow to the tail makes a cross with the Celestial Equator and creates the “Divine Cross”. This cross is especially important since it never moves in the sky. On Earth we see another cross, which is made from the intersection of the orbits of the Equinox and the Solstice. This cross is known as the “Terrestrial Cross” and is important because it provides the foundation for the prediction of the end of the world.

One drawing shows the wheel of time and below it three eclipses and then below those one large lunar eclipse. A span of time that includes three solar eclipses and one lunar eclipse is between the years of 1992 and 2012. This is interesting because it predicts that time will end in the year 2012 and the Mayan calendar also ends in 2012 on the date of December 21. The date of December 21, 2012 coincides exactly with the alignment of the crosses in the sky and when the sun rises directly in that alignment. This alignment only happens once every 13,000 years. The last picture in the series shows a wheel with no spokes, which implies the end of time, which is of course, on December 21, 2012.

Can it be a coincidence when different civilizations on different continents in different times came up with the same date?  Then add to this other recent predictions by scientists for the same year (2012) such as Solar Flares will reach their peak, a Volcano Catastrophe in Yellowstone, a Galactic Alignment for the first time in 26,000 years.  And if that’s not enough there is a clear present danger of renegade nations acquiring the nuclear bomb, an economic collapse, and a pandemic.  I keep coming back to Holy Scripture that says, man will have no excuse on the Day of Judgment, for even the pagan is raising his voice along with the Christian community to sound the warning.  Is not God just?  Has He not always sounded the warning through His prophets?  Has He not even spoken through the pagan in dreams and visions when He wanted to warn His people? (See Gen. 41:1ff; Dan. 2:1ff) Has God not also used the pagan to proclaim His will? (See II Chronicles 36:22-23; Isaiah 44:28ff).  Although God will use His holy prophets to properly interpret the signs and what the pagans are trying to proclaim, He will always send the warning.

There is no accident that both pagan and Christian alike are sounding the warning. There is no accident when asked; most people believe that we are living in the last days. So, let me encourage you to secure a copy of my book “Final Warning, because the hour of His judgment has come.”  Then once you read it pass it on to others, because the time is short.
