IS FIGHTING THE CULTURE WAR WORTH IT?

I don’t think that anyone would disagree that the number one cultural focus that the MSM (Main Stream Media), Universities, Government and Businesses are all picking up on these days is the division that surrounds Homosexuality. More and more we see the culture shifting at break-neck pace to embrace and wrap itself around this lifestyle –one that revolves around the choice of sex partners. Why do these entities embrace it now?
I would like to try as best as possible to approach the issue from a truly “Love for God and Neighbor” viewpoint. Whether I am successful does not matter; for I am constrained, not by my own wish to speak out but by the continuing call of God to live as he directs through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Below is a list of topics I will briefly touch upon.
To the God fearing Christian
Why is it such a divisive issue?
What is driving it?
Who is getting on board?
Will Psychology books be rewritten?
WWJD – What would Jesus do?
WSCD- What should Christians do?
To the God fearing Christian
I specifically wanted to speak to you first of all because sometimes we need to be encouraged (1 Thess. 5:14, Heb. 12:3)…..

ABOMINATION, ABORTION NATION…..

……DESOLATION, MESSED UP NATION……
It happened once before when a man calling himself GOD MANIFEST, went into God’s House and sacrificed an unclean animal (a pig) to a pagan god named Zeus. Exactly 2300 days to since God gave Daniel a prophesy to write (Daniel 8), this abomination was settled.
In 168 BC, Antiochus Ephiphanes (God Manifest in English) did this evil which Daniel called “the abomination of that brings desolation”. (As a side note, we have the celebration of Hanukkah because of the miracle of God giving Judah Maccabee, who led the Jewish rebellion against the pagan Greeks. The Maccabees cleansed and rededicated the Temple to the Real God of Heaven after driving the enemy out in 165 BC).
Jesus will later predict a time when this will be repeated in Jerusalem. The soon to be revealed anti-Christ will set himself up in the not -yet- built Third Temple in Jerusalem. As we speak right now, plans are almost complete by the reformulated Jewish Sanhedrin and Orthodox believers of the Torah only, to rebuild this Temple! I will explain in an article later this week.
This anti-Christ will be the real deal, not some Greek madman king like Antiochus! When he sits in the Temple in Jerusalem – the home of Jesus’ Future 1000 year Reign, declares himself to be God and then sacrifices another pig on the altar, this will lead to Jesus getting off the Throne in Heaven and all hell breaking loose against the devil and all his minions running the world today! This is WRITTEN and is going to happen!
Not only will Jesus, the Lord and Commander in Chief of Heaven’s Armies have had enough, but those who are alive in America and worldwide today, and do not own Him as Lord and Savior of their lives, will witness first hand their presidents, congresses, parliaments, prime ministers, media, governors, mayors, school superintendents and on and on….completely under the hard immediate judgment of Jesus. It is NOT going to be pretty. I don’t have to tell you what it means. Read the Book of Revelation and doubt it at your own peril!
When Jesus dispatches with those people who populate the United Nations and all the halls of Power from Washington DC to London to Brussels to Saudi Arabia to Beijing to Perth and Peru, the Second Cleansing of Jerusalem will begin. This time, the Oil will last more than the eight (8) days of Hanukkah!
