It's too long for the modern short attention span and poorly structured. I'd like to think that they'd also recognize that I'm selling a misleading and dangerous product. But marketing people aren't theologians. They just help sell products.?Oprah Winfrey isn't into biblical theology either. She is also selling products. In her case she's promoting her new "Belief" series. One promoter describes Belief as a "moving, powerful and lyrical series with themes that are iconic, universal and important."?According to the blurb:?'Belief explores humankind's search for meaning and connection, asking the question "What do you believe?", as it searches the origins of diverse faiths. Webbed throughout each hour are stories of people on spiritual journeys, taking them to sacred spaces around the world.'?Episode 7 of Oprah's series is called "A Good life." It explores how several individuals' beliefs help them face the fear and mystery of death. Examples from Hinduism, Buddhism, atheism and Christianity are presented. The episode attempts to show that death can be "a powerful call to action, compelling us to embrace life and those we love."?Oprah's series is a smorgasbord of beliefs - dig in and partake of what you fancy.?This reminds me of a book which I came across many years ago. New Age mystic Andrew Harvey drew heavily from his own study of a variety of mystical traditions, including Christianity. From these he claimed to provide a "fresh spiritual map" which anyone could use to develop a "direct path to the divine without relying on churches, gurus, or other intermediaries."?At the time I was dissatisfied with Christianity, so I hoped it might help me explore my path. In fact I was clueless about Christianity and Harvey couldn't help because he was dabbling in something he didn't really understand either (Christianity).?Andrew Harvey dedicated his book to his then "husband" (they have since parted ways). He recounted his breaking up with his guru because she disapproved of his homosexual relationship. Hence we understand the motivation for writing about seeking one's own path without relying on any organization or spiritual leader. He wanted to justify doing what pleased him.?Harvey also promotes a familiar "esoteric" teaching of Jesus:?"Christ's real teaching was not, as the churches have claimed, about worshipping him as son of God; it was an attempt to transmit to everyone else the intimate, direct, totally transforming relationship he had himself realized with God...after all, if everyone is able to be in unmediated contact with the Divine, to be taught in the terms of their own lives directly by the Divine, then what need is there for a priest class, monasteries and temples, or gurus?" (Emphasis mine)?He presumes to know more about Jesus than either the Bible or the church. But he chooses what to believe about Christ from later extra-biblical sources and personal preference. Ironically he sets himself up as another guru-teacher. Why would you trust his source??Not every guru-teacher can be right when they arrive at different conclusions about spirituality. The truth isn't a smorgasbord of personal options.?If the universe isn't a cosmic accident then something must have caused it. If that cause was God then one should expect that God would have left some clear message about Himself and His intentions. And He did.?The Bible is a unique document attesting to be the revelation of God to man. It comprises of 66 books by 40 diverse authors from vastly different backgrounds, encompassing 1600 years. Even so, in contrast to the writings of other religious systems (and modern gurus) it never contradicts itself. Moreover it even predicted Christ's first coming from the very first book. You can access more information at .?Also listen to what Ravi Zacharias has to say HERE?Contrary to assertions that humanity is essentially good, Scripture consistently attests that mankind is under God's wrath and the sentence of death because all have sinned (Rom 1:18-19, 3:10, 23, 6:23). You can't get into paradise through your "good deeds" or pursuing personal preferences. And there is only One Way.?It was for this reason that God sent His Son - so that all who would believe in Him should receive eternal life (John 1:12, 3:14-18, 14:6).?In his book Honest Evangelism, Rico Tice encourages Christians to evangelize unbelievers because it is the loving thing to do. Tice also outlines several other biblical reasons. He cites one atheist's (Penn Jilette) perspective:?"If you believe that there's a heaven and a hell, and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life, and you think that it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward...how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize?...I mean, if I believed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a truck was bearing down on you, and you didn't believe that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that." ~ Honest Evangelism (p 38)?But now I'd like to turn the responsibility around to the unbeliever.?People generally do due diligence before buying that new phone, car, house or insurance plan. They take care (hopefully) to marry the right spouses. They often perform exercises and eat the right foods to hang onto health and prolong their lives.?How much more so, then, should they not neglect to challenge themselves regarding their eternal destinies??Do you know where you're going after you die? Are you really sure there's no hell??How do you know you're on the right path?Watchman Warning: It's About the Temple Mount - By Hal Lindsey - ? After a brief lull, the so-called "stabbing intifada" in Israel came roaring back this week.? Israel has an array of sophisticated security precautions in place.? They even deployed the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) in Jerusalem.? But security forces always have limitations.? Pundits usually tell us that the answer to violence is to eliminate guns from the equation.? But even if the Israelis could do that, they still couldn't get rid of knives, cars, Molotov cocktails, rocks, bombs, or bare hands.? The centerpiece of this uprising is the knife, something you can't outlaw.? Knives are among the most basic humans tools, and they're everywhere.? Jesus taught that murder is not just an action, but an attitude of the heart (Matthew 5:21-22).? Police can scan faces, set up metal detectors, use radiation detection equipment, bomb-sniffing dogs, and create heavily guarded checkpoints, but killers will still get into populated areas.? The murder is not in their guns, but in their hearts.? They will find rocks.? They will drive cars into pedestrians.? They will find and use knives.? Against all reason, Palestinians keep on initiating attacks that result in more security checkpoints, more walls, and more scrutiny.? It's like "suicide by cop."? They keep coming at the Israelis until they get shot.? Their continued attacks destroy their freedoms and opportunities for financial prosperity.? How can it be worth giving up all that just to kill unknown Jews as they walk down a street? ? Social scientists usually attribute the current wave of violence to economics, most often a lack of jobs.? Yet, as Joseph Farah asks in a World Net Daily column this week, "If conditions for Arabs are so bad in Israel, why is the Arab population exploding?"? He points out that "In 1949, the Arab population of Israel was about 160,000.? Today, it is over 1.2 million."? Rank and file Arabs have more freedom and greater opportunity in Israel than anywhere else in the region.? That's why their numbers have grown so dramatically.? Their arbitrary violence against Jews winds up hurting everyone, but especially the Palestinians themselves.? So why do they stay on the offensive?? The root problem is not economic, but religious.? Muslims hate Jews as a matter of religious obligation.? Secular Europe cannot fathom this fact, and even Americans find it difficult to grasp.? Large numbers of Palestinians are willing to let their children die as suicide bombers.? It's not that they don't love their children.? They do.? But Islam comes first.? The Temple Mount stands as ground zero for the current unrest.? If that sounds familiar it's because it has happened many times before.? Those 35 acres of ground intensifies emotions on both sides as no others.? Jews would at least like to pray there - an idea that is anathema to the Muslims.? That small plot of land has inspired so much fear and rage among Muslims that in October, U.S. News and World Report ran an editorial by Ben Caspit calling on Israel to completely close the Temple Mount to Jews.? Caspit wrote, "Israel has no intention of taking control of the Al-Aqsa Mosque or changing the status quo involving the Temple Mount.? The Palestinians, however, are more attentive to conspiracy theories based on statements by the messianic Israeli right.? The thing is, the messianics stand at a great distance from the government, and anyone who relates to their words as a scenario soon to unfold is simply manipulating facts.? None of this is important at the moment, however, because the Palestinians are convinced that Israel plans on usurping Al-Aqsa."? The Muslim hysteria about Jews rebuilding the Temple may not be as farfetched as Caspit claims.? A poll taken in 2010 showed that 49% of Israelis want to see the Temple rebuilt.? Only 23% said it shouldn't happen.? The rest were undecided.? Whether they believe it's possible or not, Palestinian leaders use fear of a rebuilt Jewish Temple to stir up their constituents to the point of violence.? Even proposals to rebuild the temple without harming the mosques draws a frenzy of rage from the Muslims.? No matter what Israel the promises, they fully expect the Jews to destroy the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.? It's interesting that so many Palestinians are convinced that there will be another Jewish Temple on the site.? Few of them know it, but they're agreeing with the Bible.? It says that before the mid-point of the seven-year period known as Daniel's 70th Week, the temple will be rebuilt and sacrifices will be offered again.? Daniel 11:31 says that forces from the Antichrist "will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice.? And they will set up the abomination of desolation."? [NASB] To "do away with the regular sacrifice," and to "set up the abomination of desolation" requires that the temple be rebuilt.? ? In the meantime, to understand the Temple Mount hysteria among Muslims, we need to understand the spiritual dimensions of the problem.? This is not just a real estate dispute.? It is about principalities and powers.? Satan will stir anyone he can, as much as he can, in an attempt to keep the holy place in a state of desecration.? But he cannot stop God's plan.? The mighty can never defeat the Almighty.? Unbelieving religious Jews will rebuild the false temple and offer false animal sacrifices during the first part of the Tribulation. (Daniel 11:31)??????? Then the "man of lawlessness", the Antichrist, will desecrate that false?? temple of God by taking his seat in the Holy of Holies, displaying himself as being God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 NASB)? That event will start the last half of the Tribulation.? That will start 3? years of the greatest horrors yet known to mankind.? It will end with the visible Coming of THE ALMIGHTY, the Lord Jesus Christ.? He will rule for 1000 years of peace.? Then is the last Judgment of all unbelievers of all Ages.? He then establish forever the New Heaven and Earth.? (I have just tried to synthesize hundreds of pages in a few words.? Have mercy on me for brevity.? Hal Lindsey)?ISIS launches its winter terror offensive with first 274 deaths - US drone strike Thursday night, Nov. 11, targeting the Islamic State's infamous executioner known as "Jihad John" in the northern Syrian town of Raqqa may or may not have hit the mark - the Pentagon says it is too soon to say. The hooded, masked terrorist with the British accent has been identified as a British Muslim born in Kuwait called Mohamed Emwazi. He appeared on videos worldwide showing the cold-blooded murders of US, British, Japanese and other hostages.??The drone attack occurred shortly after the latest ISIS atrocity: Thursday night, two or three suicide bombers blew themselves up, killing 43 people and injuring at least 240 in the Hezbollah stronghold of southern Beirut opposite Burj Barajneh.?Ten days earlier, the Islamic State brought down the Russian Metrojet airliner over Sinai killing all 224 people aboard. This spectacular act of terror was apparently the first strike of the jihadist group's winter offensive. It achieved its objectives of multiple murder; mortal damage to Egypt's tourism industry and a blow to the prestige of its president Abdel-Fatteh El-Sisi.??The attack also punished President Vladimir Putin for bringing the Russian military into the center of the Syrian conflict.?The next Islamic State assault was aimed to undermine the credibility of Jordan's King Abdullah and his security services: On Nov. 8,? a Jordanian police captain opened fire at a high-security US training facility outside Amman, killing two American trainers, a South African and two Jordanians. The number of US personnel injured in the attack was not released. This attack was timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the massive al Qaeda assault on Amman's leading hotels, all American owned, which left 61 dead.??In northern Sinai, the murder of a family of 9 Egyptians at El Arish Thursday morning raised the total of ISIS murders in less than a month to 274.?debkafile's counterterrorism sources discern three objectives in the attack Thursday night in Beirut?1. A lesson for Tehran and Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah to show them that the Islamic State is able to reach them on their home ground, no matter how many troops they deploy to fight the jihadis in Syria (Iran and Hezbollah together field an estimated 13,000 soldiers in Syria). ISIS was capable of inflicting terrible casualties both on the battlefield and in their homeland, first in Beirut and eventually in Tehran.?2.? The day before, Wednesday, Nov. 11, in a speech marking the "Day of the Shahid," Nasrallah gloated over Hezbollah's triumph in a battle outside Aleppo. He also boasted that his domestic security shield in Lebanon presented an impenetrable barrier against ISIS or Nusra Front terrorist intrusions.?The Islamic State's tacticians determined to blow up both claims in Nasrallah's face. He and Iran were to be shown that they could not stop ISIS or prevent the Syrian war's spillover into Lebanon.?3.? By blowing up the Russian airliner over Sinai, the Islamists sought to underscore this point for Moscow too. Russia might send a powerful military force to Syria, but the Islamists would hit Putin from the rear at a location of its choosing anywhere in the Middle East. Moscow may have opted to defend Bashar Assad, but what can it do to protect Hezbollah and its other allies?.?debkafile's counterterrorism sources note that US and Russia have taken lead roles in the broad military effort to defeat ISIS - often by means of pinpointed operations. At the same time, under their noses, the Islamist terrorists have launched their winter campaign, striking with extreme ferocity and agility in unexpected places that are outside the regular battle fronts in which the big powers are engaged.Russia said to deploy advanced missile system in Syria - claims Moscow put S-400 missile battery in Latakia, capable of hitting targets 400 kilometers away?Moscow has reportedly deployed a sophisticated anti-aircraft system near the Syrian port city of Latakia capable of striking aircraft as far distant as Tel Aviv, the Daily Mail reported Friday. ?The paper said that photos released by the Russian Defense Ministry appear to show installations at the Russian air base near Latakia belonging to the S-400 Air Defense System, known to NATO as SA-21 "Growler."?The photo of the radar installation in question, posted on the Defense Ministry Facebook page, is blurred by the exhaust of a Russian military aircraft. It is part of a series of photographs posted from a recent media visit to the Latakia air base.?The report could not be independently confirmed.?Certain versions of the missiles used in the S-400 Air Defense System have a maximum range of 400 kilometers (250 miles), placing much of northern and central Israel, as well as Cyprus, Lebanon and southern Turkey, in their range. The missile system is considered among the most advanced in the world, capable of targeting F-15, F-16 and potentially the sophisticated F-22 Raptor fighter jets.?It wasn't immediately clear what kinds of surface-to-air missiles Russia has deployed to Latakia.?The report came out as Russia increased its military presence in Syria as part of its air war to help bolster its ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad, and carry out strikes against Syrian rebel groups, including the Islamic State.?Last month, Israel and Russia arranged to coordinate their respective activities in Syrian airspace to prevent unwanted conflict and miscommunication. Since then, Israel has reportedly carried out two airstrikes on targets in Syria, the most recent one an alleged arms shipment earlier this week.?Earlier this week, Iran said it would receive most of the previous generation S-300 air defense missile systems it ordered from Russia by the end of the year, despite vocal opposition to the move by Israel.?"We signed a contract with Russia. It is being done. We will acquire a large portion of the systems by the end of this year," Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan told state television late Tuesday.?He said Iranian troops were being trained in Russia to operate the surface-to-air missile systems.?This week, the state-run Russian Technologies corporation Rostec announced the signing of a delivery contract in Tehran for S-300 missiles.?Russia will provide Iran with a "modernized and updated" version of the missile systems, following up on an initial contract signed in 2007, Rostec Director General Sergey Chemezov said in a statement.?One of the most sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons in the world, the S-300 is capable of tracking multiple planes at once, and some versions have an interception range of up to 200 kilometers.?Israel has long sought to block the sale to Iran of the S-300 system, which analysts say could impede a potential Israeli strike on Tehran's nuclear facilities. Other officials have expressed concern that the systems could reach Syria and Hezbollah, diluting Israel's regional air supremacy.?Russia initially agreed to sell the system to Iran in 2007 but then balked, saying at the time it was complying with a United Nations arms embargo on the Islamic Republic.???In April, shortly after the announcement of the Lausanne outline for the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, Russia announced it was lifting the ban on selling the advanced missile defense system to Iran, over American and Israeli objections.?In August, Iran and Russia announced that the system would be delivered by the end of the year, with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov saying at the time that "just technical details" remained to be agreed upon.MAGOG RISING - DVDMagog Rising - Preview TrailerMore than 2,500 years ago, God gave?the prophet Ezekiel an astonishing prophecy to give to the world, one that would be fulfilled in "the latter days." Many Bible scholars feel that the prophesied events, found in Ezekiel 38 and 39, could be fulfilled in the near future, and that we might already be witnessing the stage being set and the actors being moved into place, in light of current events happening in the Middle East, right now.?In Ezekiel 38, Russia, Iran, and an alliance of Muslim nations invade Israel due to a "hook placed in the mouth of Russia" to bring Russia down to invade Israel. That hook could very well be the natural-gas fields discovered off the coast of Israel or the more recent finding of massive oil deposits in the Golan Heights.?With Russian and Iranian military forces now cooperating? and engaging in combat in Syria, just miles north of the border of Israel, people are asking if these events are setting the stage for the fulfillment of what Bible scholars call the "War of Gog & Magog" that is supposed to take place in the End of Days??Join us in this exciting new DVD as we examine Ezekiel 38 & 39 and the infamous war of Gog & Magog, and compare it to today's headlines and current events in the Middle East.?This DVD will be released on *November 27, 2015, and you can pre-order this DVD right now.

As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflicts in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in the immediate future.? Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion.? For 19 centuries, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948, there was no nation of Israel to invade.? With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist; a war that will end with the destruction of Israel's enemies by God Himself, and lead to the signing of a peace treaty with the Antichrist.?As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future.? The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance." The leaders of this coalition will be Russia and Iran, and currently both of these nations are right on Israel's doorstep, under the pretense of battling ISIS in Syria. I believe that there are a couple of unfulfilled prophecies that will lead-up to this massive invasion of Israel, and as we read today's headlines, we find that the fulfillment of these two prophesied events,?could happen very soon!First Reviews:"Wonderful works and video - wonderful explaining - thank you so much, congratulations God bless you I'm very glad for this gift" - L.

Now, Muslims claim to revere Joseph and hold his tomb to be sacred. So why do they frequently try to destroy it? ?In Genesis, Joseph extracted a promise from his brothers that after his death they would carry his bones from Egypt back "...to the land which He [God] promised on oath to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob." (Genesis 50:24-25 NASB) ?Moses fulfilled that promise and Joshua 24:32 describes the burial of Joseph's bones at Shechem. ?So why are Muslims so bent on eradicating the memorial? Because the tomb is not just about Joseph. It is a monument to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to His people -- especially promises regarding the land of Israel. ?Joseph himself described Israel as "...the land which [God] promised on oath to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob." ?The tomb is physical proof that God keeps His word. That is why Muslims, who publicly claim to hold the site sacred, try to destroy it on a regular basis. It is a reminder to the world that God fulfills His promises to His people. ?The new biography about President George Herbert Walker Bush describes his worries about a confrontation with the Soviet Union during the Gulf War. He felt that with so many countries involved, a showdown with the USSR might lead to a world war. ?Fortunately, the Soviets decided to stay well out of the war with Saddam Hussein. ?In light of President Bush's fears, fast forward to today. Russian air forces and American air forces are patrolling and flying sorties in the same Syrian airspace. ?The scary part is that many of the Russian enemies are our friends. Vladimir Putin is in Syria to prop up Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. We are there to support those who want to remove him. ?So the two air forces fly in the same skies, but on opposite sides of the fight. That means that every day, U.S. airmen are flying on the razor's edge of disaster. ?And things have heated up since a Russian passenger jet was recently blown out of the skies over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. ISIS claims responsibility. Probably in retaliation for Russia's air campaign against them in Syria. ?A few weeks ago, I suggested that Putin was taking a big risk by entering Syria on behalf of the Shi'ite coalition led by Iran. That puts Russia in opposition to Sunni Muslims. And the Sunnis comprise 85% of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims. And many of those Sunnis take their fight against the Shi'ites very seriously. ?So, it's possible that Russia is facing a future filled with reprisals and sabotage. And that affects the whole world. Especially the world's aviation community. ?Already, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is instituting stricter controls in view of the Russian airliner bombing. And many experts are calling for greater global control of the air. Including steps like a global database containing information on every member of the flying public. ?Remember, each step the world takes to establish the control apparatus the Antichrist will eventually need will seem logical, necessary, and wise. Just as the Bible prophets predicted. ?Last week, voters in Houston, Texas, rejected HERO. That's the "Houston Equal Rights Ordinance." It was vigorously promoted by Houston's openly lesbian mayor, Annise Parker. It was also endorsed and supported by Hillary Clinton. ?Though the ordinance sounds quite innocent, even rather noble, one of the byproducts of it would have been the provision of access to restrooms and showers based on one's "gender identification." Not on the basis of ones actual gender. In other words, a man would be allowed to use the women's restroom or shower facilities because he "felt" like a female. ?Now, you may not believe it's as simple as that, but it is in some places now and soon will be in many more places. Just ask Township High School, near Chicago. ?The school has a boy who wants to be a girl. He still has all of his male body parts, but he says he feels like a girl. So he wants to use the girls' facilities, including the showers. ?I'm not making this up. ?In an effort to accommodate him, the school district built a special changing room for him in the girls' locker room. He even agreed to it. But the ACLU cried "foul." Its lawyers declared that he must have full access to the girls' locker room. The ACLU said that the changing room curtain amounted to "blatant discrimination." It "sends a pretty strong signal to her (referring to the boy who wants to be a girl) that she's not accepted and the district does not see her as a girl." ?I've got news for the ACLU: even science doesn't see him as a girl. ?And the bad news is, the federal government agrees. The Department of Education says that if the school district fails to comply and grant him full access to the girls' locker room, the district will lose its federal funding. In fact, one of the Department's officials called it a "basic civil right." ?The Bible says that God created "man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27 NASB) Male and female creation is a biological fact, essential for the survival of the species. ?Transgender activists in the U.S. are frantically pushing the idea of "gender fluidity." They say we should not accept firm distinctions between male and female. That means a person's sex follows the whim of the moment -- changing sexual identity according to impulse. ?They are pushing "gender identification" to replace "gender fact." ?And now the federal government has taken an unambiguous stand in favor of sexual confusion and dysfunction. This monstrous idea will result in long-term damage to the psychological health and well-being of all students. ?The Bible prophets predicted that in these last days, evil will increase exponentially. We know that as Satan exerts more control over this world's system, the things that we know to be right will be called wrong, and the wrong will be called right. He will try to turn our values -- even our common sense -- upside down. ?Today, we constantly see the "good" criticized and ridiculed and the "bad" praised and promoted. I believe that the push to "gender confusion" is one more step in Satan's plan to destroy our nation. ?The prophet Isaiah warned of these times. He said, "Woe unto those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness...." (Isaiah 5:20 NASB) ?One of the great prophetic signs of the imminent return of Jesus Christ is the emergence of Satanic deceptions. These will primarily be in the form of counterfeit miracles, false prophets, and false messiahs. But I believe, too, that issues like "gender confusion" are destructive Satanic deceptions on a national scale. ?We are undeniably in those last days. ?On this week's program, I'll share more about these deceptions and tell you how to prepare yourself so that you will not be among the deceived. ?Don't miss this week's Report on TBN, Daystar, CPM Network, The Word Network, various local stations, ?or .??Stephen Hawking: There is no God and the theory of evolution better explains the origin of life - By Michael Snyder - someone that is supposedly so "brilliant", Stephen Hawking really doesn't have a clue. ?In a recent interview with Spain's El Mundo, Hawking publicly declared that God doesn't exist, that he is an atheist, and that science provides a better explanation of where the universe came from than the Bible does.? While I certainly respect much of the great work that Hawking has done throughout the years, I don't think that he has thought through these issues very clearly.? As you will see below, it takes a ridiculous amount of blind faith to believe that the theory of evolution is true, and the cold, hard evidence clearly points to a Creator.? Unfortunately, to be a respected member of the scientific establishment today one must fully embrace an evolutionary model for the origin of life, and at this point Stephen Hawking has left no doubt as to where he stands.?Somehow most of us have become convinced that it is not "intellectual" to believe that God created all things.? And a big reason for this is due to the public pronouncements of big name scientists such as Hawking.? The following excerpt comes from an article that was posted on , and I was very disappointed when I first read this...?He gave an interview to Spain's El Mundo in which he expressed his firm belief that el mundo was the work of scientifically explainable phenomena, not of a supreme being.?Hawking said: "Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation."?I'm not sure whether there was a specific moment in which science overtook the deistic explanation of existence. However, El Mundo pressed him on the suggestion in "A Brief History of Time" that a unifying theory of science would help mankind "know the mind of God."?Hawking now explained: "What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God. Which there isn't. I'm an atheist."?He added: "Religion believes in miracles, but these aren't compatible with science."?In the end, Hawking can believe whatever he wants to believe, but he should at least be honest about the fact that he is making a faith choice as well.?You see, the truth is that the theory of evolution is not backed up by hard science.? I will go into this much more below.? In fact, when you choose to "believe" in evolution, you are doing so in spite of the evidence.?So why would anyone do this??Why would anyone believe something as ridiculous as the theory of evolution??Well, in my experience most people believe exactly what they want to believe.? And what Stephen Hawking apparently wants to believe is that there is no God and that our existence is some sort of great cosmic accident.?Recently someone asked Coach Dave Daubenmire if he "believed" in evolution, and after reflecting on that question for a while he wrote an entire article in which he shared his thoughts on the matter.? The following excerpt is the part that I enjoyed the most...?Why did he ask me if I "believed" in evolution? I thought evolution was, ahem, settled science. Science, I had always been taught, was based on the scientific method and the veracity of the topic was no longer in doubt. Examples began to rumble through my head.?Why has no one ever asked me if I "believed" in gravity? Do you "believe" in darkness? Does one "believe" in grass? Do you "believe" in the wind? Does one "believe" in fire?" Of course not. Seeing is believing, they tell us. Fire proves itself. So does gravity, and wind, and grass. If macro-evolution is true, why did my friend ask me if I "believed" in it??We are taught that it takes faith to "believe" in God, or angels, or your spouse. But the truth is; faith is required in order to 'believe" anything. Christianity is a religion that requires faith to believe. So are Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, Islam, and Santa Claus.?But evolution and climate change are religions as well. Macro-evolution is a faith-based belief system regarding the origins of the species. Global warming is a faith-based system regarding the ebb and flow of the climate. Macro-evolution and climate change are far less fact-based than a belief in Jesus.?But these days, many prominent religious leaders are caving in to the immense pressure from the scientific community to accept the theory of evolution.? For example, Pope Francis has made headlines all over the globe for publicly embracing the Big Bang and the theory of evolution.? The following are some of the Pope's statements that have appeared in newspapers worldwide...?-"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so."?-"The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it."?-"Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."?In 2015, most people consider the Pope to be the number one representative of the Christian faith on the entire planet, and so it is quite alarming that he is making statements such as these.?Other prominent members of the Catholic clergy are making even stronger statements.?For instance, the head of the Vatican Observatory says that a belief in young earth creationism is "almost blasphemous theology"...?As previously reported, earlier this month, Guy Consolmagno with the Vatican Observatory told Australia's Fairfax Media that young earth creation beliefs are nearly tantamount to blasphemy.?"It's almost blasphemous theology," Consolmagno alleged, according to the Brisbane Times. "It's certainly not the tradition of Catholicism and never has been and it misunderstands what the Bible is and it misunderstands what science is."?Really??I simply do not understand how anyone can look at the evidence and come to that sort of conclusion.?Just look at our DNA.? It is a self-replicating information system that utilizes a code that is so incredibly complex that we are only just now starting to understand it a little bit.? The amount of information that would be contained in just one pinhead of DNA would completely fill a stack of books that could stretch from our planet to the moon about 500 times.?So where did such a complex and remarkably efficient information system come from??DNA is both a code and a language, and the truth is that codes and languages don't just pop into existence out of nothing.? There is always an intellect behind every code and every language.?So where did DNA come from, and who designed it??This is just one of the exceedingly important questions that evolutionists do not have an answer for.?For those that are interested in learning more, I would like to share a list of 44 points about the creation vs. evolution debate that I included in a previous article.? Unless you have really looked into these things on your own, you may have never encountered some of these points before.? The next time that someone tries to convince you that evolution isn't just a fairy tale for adults, share this list with them...?#1 If the theory of evolution was true, we should have discovered millions upon millions of transitional fossils that show the development of one species into another species. Instead, we have zero.?#2 When Charles Darwin came up with his theory, he admitted that no transitional forms had been found at that time, but he believed that huge numbers certainly existed and would eventually be discovered...?"Lastly, looking not to any one time, but to all time, if my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking closely together all the species of the same group, must assuredly have existed. But, as by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?"?#3 Even some of the most famous evolutionists in the world acknowledge the complete absence of transitional fossils in the fossil record. For example, Dr. Colin Patterson, former senior paleontologist of the British Museum of Natural History and author of "Evolution" once wrote the following...?"I fully agree with your comments about the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them .... I will lay it on the line - there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument."?#4 Stephen Jay Gould, Professor of Geology and Paleontology at Harvard University, once wrote the following about the lack of transitional forms...??"The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution."?#5 Evolutionist Stephen M. Stanley of Johns Hopkins University has also commented on the stunning lack of transitional forms in the fossil record...?"In fact, the fossil record does not convincingly document a single transition from one species to another."?#6 If "evolution" was happening right now, there would be millions of creatures out there with partially developed features and organs.? But instead there are none.?#7 If the theory of evolution was true, we should not see a sudden explosion of fully formed complex life in the fossil record. Instead, that is precisely what we find.?#8 Paleontologist Mark Czarnecki, an evolutionist, once commented on the fact that complex life appears very suddenly in the fossil record...?"A major problem in proving the theory has been the fossil record; the imprints of vanished species preserved in the Earth's geological formations. This record has never revealed traces of Darwin's hypothetical intermediate variants - instead species appear and disappear abruptly, and this anomaly has fueled the creationist argument that each species was created by God."?#9 The sudden appearance of complex life in the fossil record is so undeniable that even Richard Dawkins has been forced to admit it...??"It is as though they [fossils] were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless to say this appearance of sudden planting has delighted creationists. Both schools of thought (Punctuationists and Gradualists) despise so-called scientific creationists equally, and both agree that the major gaps are real, that they are true imperfections in the fossil record. The only alternative explanation of the sudden appearance of so many complex animal types in the Cambrian era is divine creation and both reject this alternative."?#10 Nobody has ever observed macroevolution take place in the laboratory or in nature.? In other words, nobody has ever observed one kind of creature turn into another kind of creature.? The entire theory of evolution is based on blind faith.?#11 Evolutionist Jeffrey Schwartz, a professor of anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh, openly admits that "the formation of a new species, by any mechanism, has never been observed."?#12 Even evolutionist Stephen J. Gould of Harvard University has admitted that the record shows that species do not change. The following is how he put it during a lecture at Hobart & William Smith College...?"Every paleontologist knows that most species don't change. That's bothersome....brings terrible distress. ....They may get a little bigger or bumpier but they remain the same species and that's not due to imperfection and gaps but stasis. And yet this remarkable stasis has generally been ignored as no data. If they don't change, its not evolution so you don't talk about it."?#13 Anyone that believes that the theory of evolution has "scientific origins" is fooling themselves.? It is actually a deeply pagan religious philosophy that can be traced back for thousands of years.?#14 Anything that we dig up that is supposedly more than 250,000 years old should have absolutely no detectable radiocarbon in it whatsoever.? But instead, we find it in everything that we dig up - even dinosaur bones.? This is clear evidence that the "millions of years" theory is simply a bunch of nonsense...??It's long been known that radiocarbon (which should disappear in only a few tens of thousands of years at the most) keeps popping up reliably in samples (like coal, oil, gas, etc.) which are supposed to be 'millions of years' old. For instance, CMI has over the years commissioned and funded the radiocarbon testing of a number of wood samples from 'old' sites (e.g. with Jurassic fossils, inside Triassic sandstone, burnt by Tertiary basalt) and these were published (by then staff geologist Dr Andrew Snelling) in Creation magazine and Journal of Creation. In each case, with contamination eliminated, the result has been in the thousands of years, i.e. C-14 was present when it 'shouldn't have been'. These results encouraged the rest of the RATE team to investigate C-14 further, building on the literature reviews of creationist M.D. Dr Paul Giem.?In another very important paper presented at this year's ICC, scientists from the RATE group summarized the pertinent facts and presented further experimental data. The bottom line is that virtually all biological specimens, no matter how 'old' they are supposed to be, show measurable C-14 levels. This effectively limits the age of all buried biota to less than (at most) 250,000 years.?#15 The odds of even a single sell "assembling itself" by chance are so low that they aren't even worth talking about.? The following is an excerpt from Jonathan Gray's book entitled "The Forbidden Secret"...?Even the simplest cell you can conceive of would require no less than 100,000 DNA base pairs and a minimum of about 10,000 amino acids, to form the essential protein chain. Not to mention the other things that would also be necessary for the first cell.?Bear in mind that every single base pair in the DNA chain has to have the same molecular orientation ("left-hand" or "right hand")? As well as that, virtually all the amino acids must have the opposite orientation. And every one must be without error.?"Now," explained Larry, "to randomly obtain those correct orientations, do you know your chances? It would be 1 chance in 2110,000, or 1 chance in 1033,113!?"To put it another way, if you attempted a trillion, trillion, trillion combinations every second for 15 billion years, the odds you would achieve all the correct orientations would still only be one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion ... and the trillions would continue 2755 times!?"It would be like winning more than 4700 state lotteries in a row with a single ticket purchased for each. In other words...impossible."?#16 How did life learn to reproduce itself?? This is a question that evolutionists do not have an answer for.?#17 In 2007, fishermen caught a very rare creature known as a Coelacanth.? Evolutionists originally told us that this "living fossil" had gone extinct 70 million years ago.? It turns out that they were only off by 70 million years.?#18 According to evolutionists, the Ancient Greenling Damselfly last showed up in the fossil record about 300 million years ago.? But it still exists today.? So why hasn't it evolved at all over that time frame??#19 Darwinists believe that the human brain developed without the assistance of any designer.? This is so laughable it is amazing that there are any people out there that still believe this stuff.? The truth is that the human brain is amazingly complex.? The following is how a PBS documentary described the complexity of the human brain: "It contains over 100 billion cells, each with over 50,000 neuron connections to other brain cells."?#20 The following is how one evolutionist pessimistically assessed the lack of evidence for the evolution of humanity...?"Even with DNA sequence data, we have no direct access to the processes of evolution, so objective reconstruction of the vanished past can be achieved only by creative imagination."?#21 Perhaps the most famous fossil in the history of the theory of evolution, "Piltdown Man", turned out to be a giant hoax.?#22 If the neutron were not about 1.001 times the mass of the proton, all protons would have decayed into neutrons or all neutrons would have decayed into protons, and therefore life would not be possible. How can we account for this??#23 If gravity was stronger or weaker by the slimmest of margins, then life sustaining stars like the sun could not exist. This would also make life impossible. How can we account for this??#24 Why did evolutionist Dr. Lyall Watson make the following statement?...?"The fossils that decorate our family tree are so scarce that there are still more scientists than specimens. The remarkable fact is that all of the physical evidence we have for human evolution can still be placed, with room to spare, inside a single coffin!"?#25 Apes and humans are very different genetically.? As explains, "the human Y chromosome has twice as many genes as the chimpanzee Y chromosome and the chromosome structures are not at all similar."?#26 How can we explain the creation of new information that is required for one animal to turn into another animal?? No evolutionary process has ever been shown to be able to create new biological information.? One scientist described the incredible amount of new information that would be required to transform microbes into men this way...?"The key issue is the type of change required - to change microbes into men requires changes that increase the genetic information content, from over half a million DNA 'letters' of even the 'simplest' self-reproducing organism to three billion 'letters' (stored in each human cell nucleus)."?#27 Evolutionists would have us believe that there are nice, neat fossil layers with older fossils being found in the deepest layers and newer fossils being found in the newest layers.? This simply is not true at all...?The fossil layers are not found in the ground in the nice neat clean order that evolutionists illustrate them to be in their textbooks. There is not one place on the surface of the earth where you may dig straight down and pass through the fossil layers in the order shown in the textbooks. The neat order of one layer upon another does not exist in nature. The fossil bearing layers are actually found out of order, upside down (backwards according to evolutionary theory), missing (from where evolutionists would expect them to be) or interlaced ("younger" and "older" layers found in repeating sequences). "Out of place" fossils are the rule and not the exception throughout the fossil record.?#28 Evolutionists believe that the ancestors of birds developed hollow bones over thousands of generations so that they would eventually be light enough to fly.? This makes absolutely no sense and is beyond ridiculous.?#29 If dinosaurs really are tens of millions of years old, why have scientists found dinosaur bones with soft tissue still in them?? The following is from an NBC News report about one of these discoveries...?For more than a century, the study of dinosaurs has been limited to fossilized bones. Now, researchers have recovered 70 million-year-old soft tissue, including what may be blood vessels and cells, from a Tyrannosaurus rex.?#30 Which evolved first: blood, the heart, or the blood vessels for the blood to travel through??#31 Which evolved first: the mouth, the stomach, the digestive fluids, or the ability to poop??#32 Which evolved first: the windpipe, the lungs, or the ability of the body to use oxygen??#33 Which evolved first: the bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or the muscles to move the bones??#34 In order for blood to clot, more than 20 complex steps need to successfully be completed. How in the world did that process possibly evolve??#35 DNA is so incredibly complex that it is absolutely absurd to suggest that such a language system could have "evolved" all by itself by accident...?When it comes to storing massive amounts of information, nothing comes close to the efficiency of DNA. A single strand of DNA is thousands of times thinner than a strand of human hair. One pinhead of DNA could hold enough information to fill a stack of books stretching from the earth to the moon 500 times.?Although DNA is wound into tight coils, your cells can quickly access, copy, and translate the information stored in DNA. DNA even has a built-in proofreader and spell-checker that ensure precise copying. Only about one mistake slips through for every 10 billion nucleotides that are copied.?#36 Can you solve the following riddle by Perry Marshall?...?1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism.?2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information.?3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind.?If you can provide an empirical example of a code or language that occurs naturally, you've toppled my proof. All you need is one.?#37 Evolutionists simply cannot explain why our planet is so perfectly suited to support life.?#38 Shells from living snails have been "carbon dated" to be 27,000 years old.?#39 If humans have been around for so long, where are all of the bones and all of the graves?? The following is an excerpt from an article by Don Batten...?Evolutionists also claim there was a 'Stone Age' of about 100,000 years when between one million and 10 million people lived on Earth. Fossil evidence shows that people buried their dead, often with artefacts-cremation was not practised until relatively recent times (in evolutionary thinking). If there were just one million people alive during that time, with an average generation time of 25 years, they should have buried 4 billion bodies, and many artefacts. If there were 10 million people, it would mean 40 billion bodies buried in the earth. If the evolutionary timescale were correct, then we would expect the skeletons of the buried bodies to be largely still present after 100,000 years, because many ordinary bones claimed to be much older have been found. However, even if the bodies had disintegrated, lots of artefacts should still be found.?#40 Evolutionists claim that just because it looks like we were designed that does not mean that we actually were.? They often speak of the "illusion of design", but that is kind of like saying that it is an "illusion" that a 747 airplane or an Apple iPhone were designed.? And of course the human body is far more complex that a 747 or an iPhone.?#41 If you want to be part of the "scientific community" today, you must accept the theory of evolution no matter how absurd it may seem to you.? Richard Lewontin of Harvard once made the following comment regarding this harsh reality...??We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, . . . in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated commitment to materialism. . . . we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counterintuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.?#42 Time Magazine once made the following statement about the lack of evidence for the theory of evolution...?"Yet despite more than a century of digging, the fossil record remains maddeningly sparse. With so few clues, even a single bone that doesn't fit into the picture can upset everything. Virtually every major discovery has put deep cracks in the conventional wisdom and forced scientists to concoct new theories, amid furious debate."?#43 Malcolm Muggeridge, the world famous journalist and philosopher, once made the following statement about the absurdity of the theory of evolution...?"I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has."?#44 In order to believe the theory of evolution, you must have enough blind faith to believe that life just popped into existence from non-life, and that such life just happened to have the ability to take in the nourishment it needed, to expel waste, and to reproduce itself, all the while having everything it needed to survive in the environment in which it suddenly found itself. Do you have that much blind faith??So what do you believe about the origin of life?? Daily Jot: Challenging the status quo establishment - Bill Wilson - ?Nations are important. Leaders to nations are also important. There are dozens of examples of how the kings of Israel either did right or evil in the sight of the Lord, and the people suffered the consequences. America also has suffered the consequences of bad leadership. It is not only that the leaders we have chosen do not follow the ways of the Lord, but they also have made matters worse by following agendas of political parties and evil influencers. Fast forward to the upcoming elections and Americans face a real quandary--untested candidates and old socialists. Trouble is, the establishment on both sides of the political spectrum would rather elect the status quo political suit.?Case in point is a Washington Post article saying that the Republican establishment is holding its money on the sidelines because it doesn't like either Donald Trump or Ben Carson. The old guard moderates with the money would rather put up Mitt Romney than risk someone they can't control. The Post reports: "The party establishment is paralyzed. Big money is still on the sidelines. No consensus alternative to the outsiders has emerged from the pack of governors and senators running, and there is disagreement about how to prosecute the case against them. Recent focus groups of Trump supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire commissioned by rival campaigns revealed no silver bullet.?The Post concludes that the Republican establishment does not believe Trump or Carson can beat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. "In normal times, the way forward would be obvious. The wannabes would launch concerted campaigns, including television attack ads, against the front-runners. But even if the other candidates had a sense of what might work this year, it is unclear whether it would ultimately accrue to their benefit. Trump's counterpunches have been withering, while Carson's appeal to the base is spiritual, not merely political. If someone was able to do significant damage to them, there's no telling to whom their supporters would turn, if anyone." ?The "if anyone" is the real problem here. Christians have the ability to determine the US election--either by voting or by sitting on the sidelines. In recent elections our nation has suffered because of Christians not voting. It seems that an ordinary person off the street would do a better job than the current or many of the past presidents. One thing for certain: if we want to continue having the same old socialist esoteric tax and spend policies and a lack of moral direction, vote the way the establishment Democratic or Republican parties want. If not, take a chance for a different direction. Proverbs 29:2 says, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn."Daily Devotion: "All Is Vanity" - Greg Laurie - ?I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind. -Ecclesiastes 1:14?After his futile search for the meaning of life, Solomon concluded, " 'Vanity of vanities,' . . . 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.' What profit has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun?" (Ecclesiastes 1:2-3).?The word vanity Solomon used didn't mean the same thing it means to us today. When we think of vanity, we think of people who've never met a mirror they didn't like. But the vanity Solomon spoke of could just as easily be translated "emptiness," "futility," "meaningless," or "nothingness." Solomon was saying, "There is nothing on this earth that will satisfy us completely: no thing, no pleasure, or no relationship."?It's not unlike riding a stationary bike. You see on the little video screen that you're going uphill, so it gets a little more difficult to pedal. Then you go downhill, and it becomes a little easier. But the reality is that you haven't moved an inch. You've spun your wheels without going anywhere. That is the idea Solomon was conveying. He was describing a life without God.?Have you ever wondered why the super-rich or super famous often have substance abuse issues or other problems? I think it's because they get to do what others only dream of. They accomplish a certain thing, and then they move on to the next thing. They experience another success, and then they move on to something else. They can't keep that high they were on, so they turn to the next thing.?You might say that Solomon tried it all, and he realized that it all was meaningless. He was saying, "I'm a seasoned pro. I know what I'm talking about here.

America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey1) We need your prayers!- We proclaim the Truth of the Word of God and we are under constant spiritual and sometimes even physical attack.2) We need your encouragement!- We need to hear from you, let us know how the Lord is blessing you through this ministry so that we can share it with others.3) We need your input! - If you have a prophetic article or story or if there is a news related item we missed, let us know. 4) We need your financial support!- To put it quite simply, without your support, there would be no Prophecy Update.I ask that you would prayerfully consider partnering with us to get the Word out and keep the world informed.
