Moreover, he says, the person that will live one thousand years will probably be born sometime in the next couple of decades.?Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and chief scientist at the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) in (where else?) California.? He describes aging as the lifelong accumulation of various types of molecular and cellular damage throughout the body. ?"The idea is to engage in what you might call preventative geriatrics, where you go in to periodically repair that molecular and cellular damage before it gets to the level of abundance that is pathogenic," he explained. ?Exactly how far and how fast life expectancy will increase in the future is a subject of some debate, but the trend is clear. An average of three months is being added to life expectancy every year and experts estimate there could be a million centenarians across world by 2030. ?To date, world's longest-living person on record lived to 122 and in Japan alone there were more than 44,000 centenarians in 2010. Some researchers say, however, that the trend towards longer lifespan may falter due to an epidemic of obesity now spilling over from rich nations into the developing world.?Jeanne Calumet, died the world's oldest person in 1997 at the age of 122 years, 164 days old.?In 1965, aged 90 and having outlived all her heirs, Calumet signed a deal to sell her apartment to a French lawyer on a kind of reverse mortgage deal. ?The lawyer (who was 47) agreed to pay Calumet a monthly sum until she died, whereupon the apartment's ownership would transfer to him.?It sounded like a terrific deal.? She was ninety, he was not yet fifty.? He expected to pick the place up for chump change.? Instead, it probably deserves a place in history as the worst deal ever. ?The lawyer died at aged 77 of cancer.? His widow continued to make the payments until Calumet's death.? In the end, they paid almost $200,000 - more than double what the place was worth.?Years ago, science-fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein published a fantasy novel called, "Time Enough For Love" that centered around an experiment in longevity and explored the many problems associated with living beyond a normal lifespan.?In the novel, the long-lived "Howard Families" were hunted and hounded by what Heinlein called the "ephemerals" because of the unfair advantage their longer lifespans afforded them.? ?Ultimately, because they didn't die, they were forced to emigrate to another planet, which itself became overcrowded.?? ?It was a fascinating book because it is a fascinating subject.? If there is anything that all human beings would agree on, it is that life is too short.? All of us would like to live longer, healthier lives.?? ?Until you give it a little thought.? In 1930 the world population passed the two billion mark for the first time in history.? In 2012, the world population is projected to cross the SEVEN billion threshold.?What would happen if we extended the human lifespan a hundred years?? Or a thousand?? Where would we put everybody?? How would we feed them??That's why God put a limit on the human lifespan. ?Assessment:?In the Bible's story about the tower of Babel, Nimrod united all men in an effort to defeat God by building a tower that would 'reach to heaven' to which they could flee another flood.?"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."?The Bible says that God confused their languages and separated them into nations to demonstrate the folly of attempting to defeat God.? There is a limit to how far God will allow mankind to go before He steps in.?So it is no coincidence that as we approach the end of this age, science is on the threshold of defeating God by reversing the curse of death. ?"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." (Daniel 12:4)?According to Moore's Law of Computing, computer processor capacity doubles every eighteen months.? That means that computers will be ten times smarter in just four years.? As a consequence, so will we.?Ten years from now, it is entirely possible that science will have figured out how to reverse the aging process.? If we are still here ten years from now, which seems less likely with every passing day.?The Book of Daniel was 'sealed' - that is to say, the symbolism used throughout was unrecognizable except to the generation to whom the prophecies contained therein were intended.?Thus, since the signs given to Daniel are taking place before our very eyes, we know that the end time prophecies found in the scriptures are for today.?We live in an age of miracles.? In this generation, calling down 'fire from heaven' is a more a technological miracle than a supernatural one.? It is to this specific generation that the prophecies are addressed.?Consequently, it is this generation whose attention is most closely focused on the books of Daniel and the Revelation.?Look at all the movies about the end times.? They are not being produced by believers for believers, but by Hollywood for unbelievers.? Hollywood believes in prophecy, it just doesn't believe in God.?The same can be said for many unbelievers.? To them, prophecy is a parlor trick, but to us, it is the power of God.?"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." (1 Corinthians 1:18)?Prophecy is the ONE miracle no human being can recreate with technology.? It is what makes the Bible unique among all other sacred writings.? ?No one knows the exact day and hour, but we can know when His return is near.? The unbelievers of Noah's day were taken unawares, but Noah was not surprised.? Noah knew one hundred and twenty years beforehand that the flood was coming. ?Noah did not know the exact day of the flood; but when Noah finished building the ark, he knew the flood was near. ?We are witnessing the construction process for the last day's ark coming to an end. ?Prophecy is not given to remain a secret forever, but at the proper time God gives understanding to those who will take notice and believe. ?You are an example of fulfilled prophecy for the last days.? You are one of the 'watchmen on the wall' that Scripture anticipated and Bible scholars have awaited for centuries. ?"But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand." (Ezekiel 33:6)?Sir Isaac Newton, in addition to being one of the world's greatest scientific minds, was also a devout believer who was a careful student of Bible prophecy.? He made a sort of prophecy of his own that he extrapolated from the Scriptures.? According to Newton,?"About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up, who will turn their attention to the prophecies, in the midst of much clamor and opposition."?The Omega Letter exists because I don't want to stand before the Bema Seat and explain to Jesus why I kept silent when I saw the sword coming.? I suspect that you subscribe to the Omega Letter for much the same reason.?The Bible says the last days' Church will have watchmen appointed, and scoffers (both saved and unsaved) that will require warning.?The Tribulation is the Time of Jacob's Trouble and has no relationship with the Church.? But we can see from this side of the Rapture, the Tribulation looming on the other side.?One can tell a storm is coming by watching the gathering clouds.? You needn't wait for the rain, if you can read the signs.???Next challenge for US after Ramadi defeat is averted: Iranian ship nearing Yemen is redirected to Djibouti - , May 19, two days after Ramadi's fall to the Islamic State landed a major blow to Baghdad and US strategy in the region, 10,000 troops - more than half American - ended a large US-led military exercise in Jordan that was designed to practice tactics for countering ISIS. Taking part surprisingly in the two-week exercise was a heavy US nuclear-capable B-52H bomber, which flew in from the United States, crossing through Israeli air space and returning to home base when it was over.?This was the first time in the 12 years since the US invasion of Iraq that a B-52H, which can deliver nuclear weapons and bunker buster bombers, has appeared in Middle East skies for any military mission.?East of Jordan, as some 25,000 refugees from Ramadi slept in the open, the Islamist conquerors began moving on their next target, the Habbaniyah air base some 70 km west of Baghdad. Its fall would cut Baghdad off from northern and eastern Iraq and place it under siege from three directions - north, east and west.?Most Arab members have dropped out of the US-led coalition committed to fighting the Islamist terrorists in Iraq and Syria. This has left the US Air Force to bear the brunt of the aerial campaign. Its average of 19 air strikes a day is far too few to have any real effect on ISIS's battle momentum. It certainly did not stop the long columns of black-clad Islamist fighters swarming on Ramadi from all directions in hundreds of tanks, APCs and minivans armed with heavy machine guns, and taking control of the capital of Iraq's largest province, Anbar.?Western intelligence from the Ramadi region offered disturbing accounts of thousands of fully-armed ISIS fighters springing up apparently from nowhere to descend on the city, with no one able to see where they came from and no air action to scatter them before they entered the city.??After the Ramadi defeat, the Obama administration's next major test in the region comes from an Iranian cargo vessel heading, accompanied by two warships, for the Yemeni Red Sea port of Hodeida and scheduled to dock Thursday, May 21. According to Tehran, the ship will unload 2,500 tons of humanitarian aid for Yemen, and the hundreds of passengers who disembark are Red Crescent medical relief workers.??The Saudi, US and Egyptian fleets have imposed a sea and air blockade on Yemen to prevent Iran providing the Yemeni Houthi rebels with fresh arms. Saudi and other regional intelligence agencies are convinced that the "paramedics" are in fact Revolutionary Guards officers and instructors in disguise, sent to strengthen the Houthi revolt.?Washington, Riyadh and Cairo have all vowed to stop the Iranian flotilla from putting into port in Yemen and? said that its vessels will be forced to submit to inspections to make sure no illicit weapons are aboard and to confirm the passengers' identities.?Tehran, for its part has threatened to treat any such inspections as an act of war.??Deputy Revolutionary Guards Commander Gen. Masoud Jazayeri put it plainly when he said: "I am distinctly stating that the patience of Iran has limits. If the Iranian aid ship is prevented from reaching Yemen then they, Saudi Arabians and United States, should expect action from us."?debkafile's analysts strongly doubt that the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier and strike force, which have been monitoring the Iranian flotilla's movements, will be ordered to intervene against the Iranian ships reaching the Yemeni port. It is not a good moment for President Barack Obama to upset Tehran when he is in dire need of the Iraqi Shiite militias controlled by Iran to stand up to ISIS before its columns reach Baghdad.?Without the US, it is hard to see Saudi and Egyptian warships directly engaging an Iranian naval force and risking a major military conflagration.?Meanwhile, on Wednesday, May 20, Tehran climbed down to defuse the rising tension surround the ships scheduled arrival in Yemen Thursday, and agreed the ship could be searched by the UN after it was redirected to the central international aid center in Djibouti, as demanded by Washington.? ??Shavu'ot - Dr. Steve Elwart - ??This coming Saturday evening (23 May 2015 at sundown, or the 6th of Sivan, 5775) starts the Feast of Shavu'ot.?The Meaning of Shavu'ot?Shavu'ot ("Weeks," "Pentecost") comes on the fiftieth day after the start of the Omer count (Lev. 23:16-21). It marks transcendent completion: just as the week itself is made up of six full work-days, a complete sum in hexagesimal systems (a numbering system based on 60), plus one day for transcendence, so fifty is seven times seven, plus one. Moses ascended Mt. Sinai then and returned with the first revelation of the Ten Commandments and some other commandments; Israel accepted the covenantal bond even before learning of all the commandments, saying "We will put into practice and obey ..." (Exod. 24:7). So Shavu'ot, in addition to being a Yom Habikkurim (first-fruits offering, Num. 28:26) or Hag Hakatzir (wheat harvest festival: Exod. 23:16, cf., 34:22) represents the moment when essential aspects of the Torah were first revealed at Mt. Sinai. The "first-fruits harvest" is of Torah and of the bounty (crops, etc.) springing from Torah observance.?Jewish Observance?After the evening service beginning Shavu'ot, the especially pious Jews stay up all night studying key passages of Torah, so as to be worthy of receiving Torah the next day. The actual liturgy of Shavu'ot, however, is not much different from other festival days. The Torah readings are from Exod. 19-20, telling of the giving of the Torah, and Num. 28:26-31, commanding the festival. Milk and vegetarian dishes are traditional for Shavu'ot. Interestingly, the Torah does not state explicitly that Shavu'ot is the "Time of the Gift of our Torah," the Talmudic phrase; as with most other festivals it merely stipulates the working details needed by the priests, namely the precise kinds and numbers of sacrifices that were required.?Shavu'ot in the New Testament?Pentecost is first mentioned in the NT as the occasion for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Disciples of Christ, an event that marks the beginning of the church:?When the day of Pentecost was being celebrated, all of them were together in one place. - Acts 2:1, ISV?Since this was a required festival, Jews gathered from great distances to observe Pentecost in Jerusalem, making it an appropriate time for God's work.?Paul and the Pentecost?Two passages mention Paul's travel plans in connection with Pentecost. The first is found in Acts 20:16:?Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in Asia, as he was in a hurry to get to Jerusalem for the day of Pentecost, if that was possible. (ISV)?This verse recounts Paul's decision to bypass Ephesus (located in the Western part of what today is Turkey; "Asia" is approximately modern Turkey). It seems he altered his plans in order to try to reach Jerusalem in time for Pentecost. The rest of Acts 20 recounts Paul's sending for the Ephesian elders, his farewell speech to them, and then in Acts 21, Paul's ensuing journey to Jerusalem. That he succeeded in arriving at or in time for Pentecost seems indicated by Acts 21:27 in which "the Jews from Asia, seeing Paul[a] in the Temple, stirred up a large crowd ..." This would indicate that Jews from the Diaspora had come to Jerusalem, which would be expected at a pilgrimage festival like Pentecost.?The Torah commands all Jews in Israel to make the pilgrimage, but in practice those living in the Diaspora did not always go up to Jerusalem. Those farthest away would perhaps go once in their life, and that would likely be on a Passover. While Jews living in the Diaspora were not all expected to be in Jerusalem for Shavu'ot, it would certainly have been considered meritorious to do so. Paul's eagerness to arrive in Jerusalem by Shavu'ot could just as well have been for Spirit-inspired evangelistic motives (Acts 20:22-24; compare Acts 23:11) as to observe the festival.?The second passage in which Paul mentions Pentecost is found in 1 Corinthians 16:8-9:?However, I'll stay on in Ephesus until Pentecost, because a door has opened wide for me to do effective work, although many people are opposing me. (ISV)?In this situation, it seems possible that Paul was planning to celebrate Pentecost in the Diaspora, rather than in Jerusalem. He is planning strategically, taking into account both the opportunities for ministry as well as his opposition.?The Book of Revelation ties together the images of Shavu'ot, of greenery and fruitfulness, with the consummation of our redemption in Christ. For in the new heavens and new earth, we find the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden. The fruitfulness of the land of Israel and all the many first fruits ceremonies not only picture God's present goodness but point forward to the fruitfulness of the renewed heavens and earth.?The Promise to Us of Redemption?Throughout the New Testament, we see first fruits imagery used in various ways, including Jesus' resurrection, the Holy Spirit, and believers as the beginnings of the new creation. In all cases it reminds us:?*Our redemption has begun, with the fullness yet to come. As Jesus has risen, so we will too. As we have come to Christ, more will follow. The Holy Spirit who guarantees our final redemption is the first part of our vital new relationship with God, with more to come. The existence of the church, with its obligations and responsibilities to act as the church, presages the redemption of the world.?*All that God has promised will happen. The same God who gives life to the world of nature, causing growth to spring forth, will give life to us, now and in the future. God is faithful to His Word.?May we too be faithful in responding to God's gift of life and growth.?A Chance to Win, and?Support Prophecy Update(Only Two Weeks Left)???Thanks to a very generous supporter, we are offering you a chance to win both the John MacArthur 33 volumes New Testament Commentary, and the Warren Wiersbe 6 volumes Bible Exposition Commentary, for a donation of just $25, for each increment of $25 dollars, your name will go into a drawing.

We are about to enter a time like no other time, a time that no man has ever seen, a time like no other time in the history of this world, as a matter of fact we are about to enter the end times. Since the dawn of mankind, there have always been wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, disease, strange-weather and false Christ's just as Jesus predicted. Fast forward nearly 2,000 years since Jesus made this prediction, and you have today's headlines lining up exactly with the Word of God. The big thing?isn't?that these events?are happening today, is that they are all happening at the very same time! Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very eyes.?

Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, ?the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. Never, in the history throughout the world have so many forces, including economic, scientific, techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral, spiritual and religion, converged together to bring this world that's already teetering over the edge into the abyss, to a point of no return. "CONVERGENCE" brings it all together and will clearly show where all this heading and what people need to do!CONVERGENCE -This DVD is Now Shipping!!!CLICK HERE TO ORDER?Our Citizenship - By Daymond Duck - early life was hard. By the time I was eight years old, I was working beside adults in the field on the farm my sharecropper dad was taking care of. If we were picking strawberries in the spring or hoeing cotton in the summer or picking cotton in the fall, I was expected to keep up with the adults. It wasn't easy, but every source of income was needed.?In school, I soon learned that I was living in the greatest country on earth. I had freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, the right to assemble, the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to hold a job and more. In most other countries the people didn't have these freedoms and rights, but I had them in the land of the free and the home of the brave.?About that time, our young nation was beginning to prosper. Our powerful military had helped win WW II. Labor unions were working for the benefit of the people so wages and benefits were getting better. Electricity and telephones had come to the country so houses and living conditions were getting better. Roads were getting better.?People were honest and we didn't have to lock our doors. Many of us were beginning to get our first, hand store-bought clothes and we were very optimistic about the future.?I was proud to bow my head in the school chapel and thank God for all of our blessings; proud to stand and hold my hand over my heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag; proud to salute when our flag was raised or some of our brave troops marched by in the fourth of July parade; proud to see so many flags displayed in cemeteries and on houses and businesses; proud to clap when the preacher asked our veterans to stand in church. ?Almost everyone respected our troops; people worked for the good of our community and nation; people treated our flag and troops with respect; and there was no greater song than our National Anthem.?But that free God-fearing, patriotic America no longer exists. Progressives are taking those freedoms away from us.?? They are out to destroy the church, family and our flag. They have managed to kick God, prayer and the Ten Commandments out of our schools. They have put forth a corrupt, lying environmentalist whacko to rule over us.? ?Abortion, gay-marriage, murder, lying, deceit and rioting are common place. Our nation is in moral decline. Our military is in freefall. Some stomp on our flag; tear it to shreds; set it on fire; and spit, boo and urinate on our troops. Our police are dying in the streets. Our national debt is unsustainable.?Our president has hired radical czars. He has Muslims in the White House. He wants to take over the local police. He has our military practicing the elimination of local militants"("Potential Domestic Terrorists") which would include veterans, evangelical Christians, gun owners, people who oppose abortion, gay marriage, world government, etc. ?Republicans were sent to the White House to change this and they talk like they are trying but they always find a way to do what the president wants (demands).?Living in the United States has become more difficult for many people. Many are discouraged and are no longer optimistic about their future. Many are concerned and disgusted about the ever-spreading wickedness and darkness.? ?I get a lot of e-mails from people who say they are praying for the Rapture to take place soon.? One lady told me Christians are supposed to occupy, but she is concerned that we will have to occupy under duress if Jesus doesn't come back soon.?While I was thinking about the disastrous fundamental change that has been foisted on the United States it occurred to me that I am in this world, but not of this world. My citizenship is in heaven not in the United States (Eph. 2:19). My King is the King of kings and Lord of lords, not Pres. Obama or the father of lies (John 8:44). ?I am a stranger and a pilgrim on this earth (Heb. 11:13). Jesus has prepared a place for me (Heb. 11:16). It is not in this world. It is in a heavenly country (Heb. 11:14). This wicked world is passing away, but I have an eternal citizenship in a place that won't pass away (I John 2:15; 17).?Jesus made promises to me. I have embraced them and the progressives can't take them away. I love the America I grew up in but my heavenly home is better than the America I grew up in, and I will love it more than I ever loved that America. I won't have to work hard in my eternal home. There won't be any violence or economic problems. Our troops won't be spit on, our police won't be killed and all of our neighbors will love God.??This verse addresses that truth: "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (II Cor. 4:17-18). ?Our eternal things were purchased with the blood of our Saviour and we are to trust in Him (I Pet. 1:18-19; Psa. 40:4). Everything will be okay.?He will come back from heaven soon, change our vile bodies and give us each a glorious body like His (Phil. 3:20-21). He will take us home and we won't be concerned about America's debt, Muslims in the White House, ISIS in the United States, Republicans that sound like Republicans, but vote like progressives and things like that. ?So let us occupy in this temporary godless society until Jesus takes us to the place of our real citizenship and we can live the way He meant for us to live all along.?Prophecy Plus MinistriesDaymond & Rachel Duck?daymond.duck@ ?What Happens When Believers Die & Encouraging Words - A. V. Rauf - ??Today I want to give credit to two sources that I came across. I highly encourage you to check the link and then to watch the enclosed video.?In terms of salvation you fall into one of the following four categories:?*You are saved and you know it.*You may think you are saved but you are not.*You may not claim to be saved. *You are not saved but you would like to be saved.?Salvation is God's deliverance through Jesus Christ from all the effects of sin. We need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt where we will spend eternity:?1 John 5:9-13--If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.?? These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.?If you are not confident that you have eternal salvation, I urge you settle the matter right away. This is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. God desires to save everyone:?1 Timothy 2:1-6-I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.?Ezekiel 18:20-23-The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live??Needless to say, many Christians wonder what happens when a believer dies. This link contains an excellent article that explains the answer to this question in detail:???? ??Finally, I am not one who agrees with the notion that "there's a demon behind every tree." However I know that we are in a spiritual battle: ?Ephesians 6:10-13-Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.?Romans 8:38-39--For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.?That being said, this I highly suggest you watch this next video clip in its entirety. The first 10 minutes may seem a bit disturbing yet provocative. However, the last 10 minutes are full of some great Scriptural encouragement (Highly recommended!):? ???Early election results - Bill Wilson - ??While it is very early in the presidential election cycle, there are some things that are coming clear pretty quickly. As a veteran and successful political media consultant for over 14 years, one thing I have learned is how to "smell a rat." In Christian circles, we might call it "discernment." There are so many times these days that Christians sit on the sidelines because the candidate choice does not come close to the Biblical standards of character and leadership. Not wanting to vote for the "lesser of two evils" is then the vote. Hence, America suffers a continuous sliding scale of increasingly poor leadership, not only at the presidential level, but also at the local and state levels. Christians can change all that.?Even with PEW Research saying that Christianity is on the decline in America, down to 70.8% of the population, this is a very powerful voting block. Unfortunately, the weakness in the pulpit, the emotional, self-indulgent, and extra-biblical state of the church, and the unwillingness of many to preach the word as it pertains to sin and accountability, has resulted in Christianity being divided. This has allowed cunning politicians to unite diverse voting blocks--women's rights, racial equality, gender/gay rights, animal rights, environmentalists, etc., and marshall them into election victories. As Christ said in Mark 3:25, "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." ?My approach is to line up my two or three best choices for each office and weigh them against Biblical standards, especially of character and leadership, then choose the closest one. In my opinion, this is one of the ways we are going to incrementally get this nation back to any standard of biblical morality. The other ways include getting involved in the party of your choice (also one that should fit biblical standards) and take part in selecting the candidates--local, state, national. Christians, as a united block have a lot of power. This is why the major candidates for the Republican Party are making their rounds to the churches and speaking about God and country. You don't hear that much from the Democratic Party. ?There is one candidate, however, that stands out among all the rest. It is Hillary Clinton. No other candidate in the current field is as morally bankrupt, unethical and corrupt. Her involvement in the deaths of those men in Benghazi alone should land her in jail. Her latest scandal of using a private email for her official State Department correspondence would land most anyone except the privileged in jail. Who knows what State secrets are in the hands of America's enemies. The list of her corrupt dealings span decades. In my personal opinion she is no less than Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, who in Daniel 5:27, is "weighed in the balances, and art found wanting." The devil is a liar and deceiver, and Clinton aligns accordingly. For me, the early election results are in, and Hillary Clinton stands alone. ?Daily Devotion: The Three Cs of Life - Greg Laurie - ??It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God's people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. -Hebrews 11:24-25?What you decide to eat for lunch and what you decide to wear don't have long-lasting repercussions in life. But there are other decisions that are very important, like whom you will marry and what career path you take. And the most important choice of all is whether you will follow Jesus Christ.?You could call it the three Cs of life: challenges, choices, and consequences. We face challenges every day. Sometimes those challenges will come in the form of an opportunity that we can take advantage of. At other times they will come in the form of a temptation that hopefully we'll resist. Then we have the choices we will make. And then we have the consequences of those choices. If we have made the right choices, there will be good consequences. If we have made the wrong choices, there will be bad consequences.?We need to make the right choices in life because it can affect the entire course that our lives take. Think about people in the Bible who made certain choices. Moses made a choice to help his fellow Hebrews. He chose that over the riches and power of Egypt, and his choice saved a nation. Daniel's choice not to compromise brought great hope and encouragement to so many, which set a course that affected their lives.?But then there were wrong choices that people made. Adam's choice cost him paradise. Esau's choice cost him his birthright. King Saul's choice cost him his kingdom. Judas's choice cost him his apostleship and his very life. Pilate, Agrippa, and Felix-all Roman leaders-chose wrong and missed eternity with Christ.?The choices of life are binding in eternity. You will make choices today that will affect you forever. You make your decisions, and then your decisions make you.?FROM THE HEART??IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY,?TRULY,?THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT??Prophecy Update has no corporate sponsors.

He is before all things,? and in Him all things hold together" (Colossians 1:16 -17).?There is no machine anywhere on earth bigger or more powerful than the Large Hadron Collider, located at CERN in Switzerland. A collider that spans 17 miles in length; it is the most powerful particle accelerator every made and many eminent physicists believe that what scientists are doing there has the potential to destroy not just the world, but the universe itself.?Just to write such a thing seems ludicrous, "...the power to destroy the universe..." However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a man considered the equal of Einstein, has this to say about the Large Hadron Collider and what it may discover. He believes it "...could pose grave dangers to our planet...the God Particle (also known as the Higgs Boson Particle) found by CERN could destroy the universe."? ?Hawking goes onto say that the Large Hadron Collider is generating such unbelievable amounts of energy that there is a danger it could inadvertently create a "vacuum bubble." Essentially he is saying that because the universe is fundamentally unstable, in discovering the Higgs Boson, such tremendous energy is released that space and time itself can collapse catastrophically through something called "vacuum decay."?Heavy stuff indeed.?Neil de Grasse Tyson, physicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium (and a prominent atheist), also believes, like Hawking, that the experiments being planned and conducted at CERN are a legitimate danger to the future of mankind.?Both these eminent scientists have sounded their warnings independently. Both of them are genuinely worried. Hawking has even suggested that the LHC and what they are doing there actually "scares him."?Indeed, so dangerous that some scientists have even taken out lawsuits to prevent and restrain CERN from operating the LHC at full power until a comprehensive risk assessment of dangers is undertaken. The lawsuits have failed and no such risk assessments have ever been undertaken.?From recreating the Big Bang, to creating Dark Matter, to discovering and producing strange matter called quarks and stranglets - something that can only be done at almost unimaginably powerful high energy collisions to produce the conditions necessary to bring about actual time travel.? ?Each of these experiments are active and ongoing at the Large Hadron Collider at the point of this writing. Each has the potential to irrevocably damage the world in which we live. Each is being conducted without oversight by scientists incentivized to push the boundaries in the quest for results; peer recognition and ultimately a Nobel Prize.?However, all this information, disturbing though it is, does not disturb me as much as the admission by CERN's very own Director General and its Director of Research. In giving interviews to the British Press, General Rolf Heuer has admitted that one of the key overall aims of CERN's Large Hadron Collider is to? open a portal to another dimension.?? ?This is the reason they are so intent upon recreating the conditions of the so-called "Big Bang." This is the reason they have worked so hard to double the power output of the Large Hadron Collider. They believe in the existence of other parallel and alternative dimensions (physics dictates that there are at least eleven of them), and they believe that in increasing the LHC's power output and in recreating these conditions scientists can rip open the veil that separates the two.?In his comments, General Heuer stated his reasons for wanting to open this portal as follows, "...When we open the door, something might come through it into our reality! Or, we might send something through it into their reality!"?? ?Sergio Bertolucci, Director of Research and Scientific Computing at CERN has mirrored General Heuer's statements almost identically in a briefing to reporters at CERN HQ in September 2009, "Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it." [1]?These are legitimate quotations from the General of CERN's Large Hadron Collider and its Research Director. They are stunning. Stunning in their simplicity, in their childlike abandonment of consideration for risk and stunning in their arrogance and hubris.?There is a very good reason that in creating the known and unknown universe God kept various aspects separate. Why does no one at CERN with all their evident intellect ask the most basic of questions: Does anybody not think that this is inherently dangerous?? ?If General Heuer and Director Bertolucci's comments really do reflect the ultimate aspirations of CERN, and we have no reason to believe they do not, then it is clear that their intention is to rip open the veil separating this world from other worlds or dimensions.?At this point a note of caution to those of us who believe such things are inconceivable. Recent discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics would seem to indicate that this might not be such a far-fetched thing. Quantum mechanics would seem to have recently proven that matter, when broken down to its smallest component part, lacks locality. This means that matter, when split and split and split to its smallest part, actually lacks a location. In other words it is everywhere at once.? ?This discovery has led to the startling and uncomfortable conclusion (for scientists) that the world we live in is some kind of a digital simulation, akin to a live, interactive hologram. The logical conclusion to be drawn from this is that the world and universe that we now occupy is a small part of a larger whole, the larger whole being the actual reality, not the one we currently occupy.?? ?So incredibly shocking was this discovery to the scientists who discovered it that the project leader, a Nobel Prize winner, committed suicide because of its implications.?The implications are that this world is a created world which is constantly being kept and maintained by some kind of higher being. The second key implication is that there is another world, a real world, a world much greater than this known existence.?? ?What is so shocking and paradigm shattering for scientists is, of course, a matter of fact for Christians. We know this Creator as our Lord and God and this other, larger world, is the spiritual realm in which He resides, and where our destiny as believers in Christ ultimately lies.?As Christians we already know that this universe is bound together by Jesus Christ Himself.?"But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the elements (atoms) will be dissolved with fire and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10).?The Greek word "elements" in this text is from the word "stoicheion." It is translated as the building blocks of the universe or the "ordered arrangement of things." The word "dissolved" is literally translated from Greek as "unloosed."? ?This suggests that it is God actively holding the universe together and that if He were to relax His grip every atom in the universe would split from every other atom and the universe would destroyed by fire. This is just as physics teaches, yet physics holds that the binding of atoms together is from some as yet unknown, undiscovered force.? ?We know it is Jesus Christ.?The other dimensions spoken of by CERN's Director General and its Research Director, are, I believe the spiritual realm. The Bible is specific about this realm. It is a place of battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil, and they are immensely dangerous places for human beings to be.?In 2 Kings 6, Elisha's servant rose from his tent to discover himself and his master surrounded by a massive, hostile human army. After running in panic to Elisha, his master said confidently, "Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them" (2 Kings 6:16).? ?He then prayed for his servants spiritual eyes to be opened and the servant saw that "...the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha"(2 Kings 6:17). These forces were God's forces of war.?In the book of Daniel the Prince of Persia, a high ranking fallen angel, was powerful enough that he was able to withhold God's special envoy to Daniel for? twenty one days, until the warrior Archangel Michael came to his aid, allowing him to progress with his message.?The apostle Paul himself was "caught up" into the third heaven, the spiritual realm and describes it in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. Here Paul was permitted to see paradise but was not allowed to describe what he saw there.?John, the apostle of Jesus Christ "ascended" into heaven in Revelation 4:1. His experiences form the basis of the entire book of Revelation. It is interesting that Revelation describes the process of John going up to Heaven after "a door was opened."?Elijah, the great Hebrew prophet of old was taken up into heaven in a "whirlwind" in 2 Kings 2:11.?Jesus tells us that individual angels are assigned to protect our individual children, "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 18:10). Invisible angels from another dimension empowered to protect little ones, in this realm and the spiritual one which we cannot see.?The Bible tells us that toward the time of the end the spiritual battle in these heavenly places will increase in intensity. We are perhaps already seeing the encroachment of this spiritual realm into our own universe today.?The spiritual realm is real and the spiritual warfare that takes place there is real, something that is an anathema to these scientists. Could it be possible that these scientists inadvertently end up opening a portal or a door not to another dimension, but into the spiritual realm, perhaps even to the Bottomless Pit or the Abyss itself??People today have become so desensitized to the supernatural that they have forgotten just how dangerous it can be. For most of humanity the existence of another realm, a spiritual realm is a mere fantasy. However, the Bible tells us it is real, more real than we can know.? ?Paul tells us that it is actually in this world that we fail to see things as they truly are, that the spiritual world is the real world, "...for now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known" (1Corinthians 13:12).?CERN has rebuilt the Large Hadron Collider to double the power of its 2009 version. It is due to come fully back online in September 2015. Coincidentally this falls exactly at the time of the biblical Feast of Trumpets.?The scientists at CERN seem to have no real understanding of how utterly dangerous the Large Hadron Collider really could be.?Revelation 9:1 -11?"The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. ?They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.?The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon [that is, Destroyer]."? ?"Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss..." (Revelation 11:7a).?Endnotes ?[1]? ?wardmatt1977@ ???If You Died Today, Would You Go To Heaven?Find out, visit:Prophecy Update - GoodSearch Toolbar Prophecy Update Toolbar is free to download and allows you to raise money for our cause every time you search or shop onlineDID YOU KNOW?You can submit an article, leave a comment or praise report at email:prophecyupdate@bak.Maranatha!
