Listening to Alex Jones this morning he is accusing 501c3 companies that teach the rapture are the problem. So I need to address several issues here.
First most 501c3 corporations known as churches do not teach the rapture. They are mostly amilliniel or don't teach any eschatology. The true churches that have not become a 501c3 corporation. teach a rapture. What is a 501c3 corporation? It is a not for profit organization for purposes of making charitable contributions. Churches do not have to become one. Red Cross, and other non church affiliated organizations do.
The accusation is that if your church is a 501c3, then they have to take orders from the government to keep their tax exempt status. This is why churches are not allowed to endorse candidates for elections. I don't advise endorsing candidates anyway because they are all corrupt at some level. Ask Richard Nixon.
So what is going on with the Rapture theology? The rapture in many circles is taught wrong. I know I have heard it many times. "Before it gets really bad we are out of here". Jesus said in John 16:33, " that in this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." So we need to be prepared for tribulation. Americans in this Laodecian society are very soft. We can't handle it it if someone puts a gun to our head and says deny Jesus or die.
The correct teaching is that we are to be engaged until he comes. When I was running track, I was told to keep going until you hit the finish tape. Many a race was lost in the last couple of yards when the one head relaxed. Keep going. Keep sharing the gospel. Keep writing your congressman. Keep attending your county party conventions. Stay engaged and stay informed. This is not a time to quit. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 tells us that he that letteth with let until he be taken out of the way. Until it is gone, we are to be a force of good in this world.
As I wrote in a previous article, we are to play until we here the whistle. Play until you hear the last trump. Don't let Alex Jones or anyone else influence your theology. Alex also believes that man is tens of thousands of years old and has evolved. The Bible clearly puts man at six thousand years. Get your theology from the Bible. Keep going.

It's not the economy stupid.
When Clinton was elected in 1992 the statement was made that it was all about the economy. Bush had raised taxes and voters did not like it so they elected Clinton and he raised taxes more. When Clinton did that the Democrats lost the congress but he was re elected in 1996. Now lets skip ahead to 2012. In 2008 we elected a man that America barely knew for President. In 2012 we know him a little bit better. We know there is a question mark on his country of origin. We know there is a question mark on his associations growing up. There are question marks on what he did in College. There is no question mark on how he stands on foreign policy. There is no question mark as to what he wants to do with the economy. He has taken over companies. He has given incentives to political friends while punishing supporters of his opponents. We know that he has appointed provable criminals to cabinet positions such as Attorney General and Secretary of State.
When Carter lost the election in a landslide against Ronald Reagan the economy was sinking. We had interest rates in the 20+% level, Inflation was double digit, and unemployment was on the rise. Under Reagan we somehow got inflation to hold at 4% and interest rates have been on the fall ever since to where it is now almost non existent. What people don't understand is that the FED has total control over interest rates and the presidential policies have nothing to do with it.
Over the last half century, the education system in America and I am not talking about the public schools but all schools have taught that you need a good education, to get a good job. What is a good job? What people don't understand in America is how economies operates. They think that you need good skills to get good jobs but don't understand where wealth comes from. So let me explain.
All wealth comes from God. Where does God put his wealth so we can get it? He puts it in the ground. So how do we get it out? We get it out by farming, hunting, ranching, forestry, fishing, drilling and mining. All industries and all wealth creation come from this. We are being told we have left the Agricultural age and have left the industrial age and have entered the information age. I am sorry, we don't eat information. We eat food. Food comes from farming and Ranching hunting and Fishing. To be able to hunt and fish we need tools tools happen when items trees are cut down and minerals are mined. Then they are refined in a factory and sold back to the farmer, hunter, or fisherman. Miners also need equipment that is refined. So we have used factories to build tools for that. As we have evolved to be further from the core economies the less we think of those economies.
It is now to the point where the major economies in America right now is medicine, education, government, banking and entertainment. None of these economies create wealth. Now you understand why the economy is failing. Agriculture in all forms is under attack from the company of Monsanto. Fishing is under attack from pollution entering the waters of this world as world. Forestry is under attack from green people protecting trees. Mining and drilling is under attack as our president has done everything he can to shut down those industries. Our industries are under attack by sending them overseas. When you study the American Revolution you find that George Washington would create resources on his plantation in Virginia. Then he would send them back to England and sell them to factories to be refined. He would place orders for products and was told to bring back the extra money. Washington almost always got an IOU on these journeys. He got tired of it and led an Army against England for the right to create factories in America and control the price for which he sells his product.
So what is it stupid? It is sin. We voted for sin in America. In fact we used sin to vote for sin. In all states where the law was followed in the election, Romney won. In states with Election fraud going on, Obama won. Not to say that Romney didn't use fraud. I think he got nominated with election fraud. But Obama promotes Same sex marriage. Obama promotes criminals in the government. He promotes abortion, and he has gone beyond to say you can kill up to age two and with Obama care, euthanasia has been endorsed. If you aren't a producer, then you will be killed. he has paid high dollars to government workers and made it a post of bribery.
What he is going to do in the next 4 years is any ones guess. Speculation is that he is going to persecute his enemies. He is going to stifle decent. He is going to crush the once great US economy. It isn't the economy stupid. It is about having an Obama phone. It is about no work for food. It is about bullying enemies into submission. It is about you not having a choice in religion.
But before I have you too fearful, remember, God did not give us a spirit of fear. But of power and love and of a sound mind. God has promised to care for his own through tribulation. The rest of the world has prayed for the American church to face tribulation. We are lukewarm. This will separate the men from the boys when it comes to your faith in Jesus Christ. I will say, finally. Look up for your redemption draweth neigh. Sin must play out its course in America so God can fully judge it.

Four more years?
The election last night was called for Obama quite early dispite that fact that Ohio, Florida, Virginia were all close races. Interesting looking at states on a map that the Rural areas all went for Romney and the cities went for Obama. How much of it was legal and how much of it was illegal is hard to say. I know that both of the candidates are known for election fraud. So neither of them really deserved to be there. The problem is going to be what is going to happen in the next four years. If past record is indicative of future returns we know that House went to the republicans so they will continue to pass laws. The Senate went for the Democrates and they will continue to table those laws so that nothing gets to the president. The president will solve the crises by passing executive orders. The House will hold hearings and scream at the cabinet members for disobeying the law and then not doing anything else about it. What needs to happen is to get special prosecutors going again to bring charges against criminals in the Obama administration. That probably will not happen. At some point the TEA Party people will get upset again. They will get cooped by certain moderates posing as conservatives and again nothing will happen.
Do you see where this is going. Prophecy Club had a guest back in the 80s that is starting to make sense. His name was Dmitri Duterman. He said that an internal revolution will be started by the communist (Barack Obama) and then out of the seas Russia and a few other countries will attack and destroy America. This I can see happening. It is the rest of his prophecies that I call into question. Even his list of countries is not correct. He said there will be Latin American countries involved. We know from the Ezekiel 38 passage that It is Iran, Libya, Turkey, Germany and Sudan that are the allies in this fight.
The Bible is strangely silent in this matter but I can now see under the "leadership" of Barack Obama that the country is ready to go downhill. Be prepared for some tough times ahead. The earthquakes will continue. The Storms will still rage. The persecution will intensify. The Lord is coming back soon. America will fall. I pray that I am wrong but my gut and my Bible say differently.
We cannot continue promoting Same sex marriage and have the blessing of God. We cannot continue aborting babies and still please God. We cannot continue to appease those who oppose Israel and still please God. We cannot say we are one nation under God and then tell the chaplains to not pray in Jesus name. We cannot force non profit organizations to pay for abortions and contraception against the statement of faith of that organization and please God.
I dare say with as close as the vote was that there are still some righteous people in America. But when God has turned us over then we have problems. I will ask Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Obama. There is more evidence against him then there was Nixon. But after that it is important that every man be right with God. It is going to be tough. I would rather be persecuted by my government then fall to judgment of God. Stand tall and God bless.
