NIMROD RESURRECTED?
IS ANCIENT HISTORY ABOUT TO REPEAT ITS SELF?
ARE WE NOW AT THE STARTING GATE OF THE TRIBULATION?
Fox news uses two phrases quite often - "Fair and Balanced" and "We report you decide." God uses: "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches"(Rev 3:22). These phrases put responsibility on us! Is history about to repeat its self? Are we now starting into the beginning of the tribulation?
Connecting prophecy with today's news should bring to our attention, that there is not much time left before all the houses of Israel, as we know them today will cease to exist as God fearing nations! But before an event such as this takes place, we need to be encouraged that God's elect- first fruits will have fled to their place of protection.
We recently watched in Washington, D.C. a changing of the "Chief Guard" for the United States of America. Those who voted for Obama, putting him into office have full confidence that he will bring to an end the Nations economic problems. He promised to end the current wars, along with making peace with the terrorist and nations that don't like us. However, after 100 days in office the problems have only grown worse.
I want to share with you a letter found in the Journal News. It reflects the serious, upset thinking of many people today. The letter begins: "Every time I read the newspaper or watch the news on Television, it is always depressing. Thousands of people are losing their jobs every day. Businesses are closing down. People are losing their homes; people are being evicted because they cannot pay their rent. It appears that more people are committing suicide, killing either themselves or the whole family. Our educational system is in shambles, food prices are going up, south Texas and California is facing a drought. Children are going hungry; health insurance is in turmoil. Natural disasters are costing us millions. The war in Iraq has broken this country. We are definitely headed for a depression and getting deeper and deeper in debt.
The Bible speaks of signs of the times, which there are seven years of plenty and seven years without.
Well - America is in the without." End of quote.
This new President was sworn into the highest office of America with the thought on many peoples mind that something great will emerge after he preached for two years - "Change, you can believe in." His campaigning - made people believe miracles would begin taking place after replacing the disliked President - George W. Bush.
Again, keep in mind the questions: Is ancient history repeating itself? Are we at the starting gate of the tribulation? Adding to these questions- Is there a connection with Nimrod of ancient history; and the newly elected President of the United States?
To answer those question we will look at Nimrod's background and his little known history first. Having looked into a number of noteworthy books - and Internet blogs on the this subject, to answer for myself these questions. I would like to share with you what was found to be very interesting. We will start where the name Nimrod first appears in Scripture. Gen. 10:8-9, "Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord."
History books tell us Nimrod was shown to be a black man, the son of Cush, as it said in verse 8, and he was the grandson of Ham.
What was Nimrod - the mighty one's attitude like? Lets begin with the meaning of his name. It will reveal - his character and his foundational practices. Nimrod in Hebrew is [ma-rad]. It has two meanings - 1). We will rebel; 2). Causer of rebellion. In Arabic it means: "Come let us revolt." Nimrod was the founder of Babylon which partook of his character as being the great antagonist of God's truth and God's people.
In a book called "Primo Genesis" on page 58, the comment was made, "Nimrod's government was founded upon strong secret organizations, and he became very powerful." Josephus writes, "Nimrod, little by little transformed the state of affairs into a tyranny, holding that the only way to detach man from the fear of God was by making them continuously dependent upon his own power. Nimrod was worshiped [that is bowed down to] by his surrounding supporters of that time."
Tyrant is described in the Webster's Dictionary as, "1). a ruler unrestrained by law or constitution; 2). An usurper of sovereignty; 3).a ruler who exercises absolute power oppressively; 4). a government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler; 5).person of aggression and confusing." Verse 9 of Genesis 10 said, "He was a "mighty hunter." This word hunter is often employed to denote a hunting expedition, translated = campaigning!
Does Nimrod's activities sound like the personalty of someone in America we recognize? This article is titled "Nimrod Resurrected" for a reason. Here are some statements that were made at Obama's inauguration: "You ,feel like God is speaking to you" said one person. Denzel Washington expressed, "The apostle Paul, Moses, John the baptist he is like one of them. Seriously, he is like one of those apostles for our day. He came to lead us to the original design of what we are supposed to do on this earth." Don king commented, "I would say that he would be like Joshua going across to the promised land."
The World Net Daily reported on Obama's 100th day in office, "He will be "crowned" in messianic Imagery at New York City's Union Square's South Plaza, with his arm outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns upon his head. Obama appearing will be much like Jesus Christ on the cross: And atop his head a crown of thorns." The title of the piece -"the truth"- suggest a play on Biblical themes, as Jesus said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me."
Another sculpture image of Obama, showed him riding a donkey at the Iowa capital in January, artist Matthew J. Clark paraded a Sculpture of Obama riding a donkey and preceded by waving palm frond, reminiscent of Jesus entry into Jerusalem in the 21st Chapter of Matthew.
Islam leader Louis Farrakhan declared last year "that when Obama talks, the messiah is absolutely speaking." Farrakhan also proclaimed, Obama is the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change."
Obama's campaigning theme was "Change you can believe in." At his swearing in it was a "New birth of freedom." Does his themes tell us who he is? God tells us we can know them by their fruits.
Examining his last 100 days in office we see what fruit he wants to ripen by using his newly appointed fertilizer spreaders. He wants to OK gay marriage through out the U.S.A, ignoring God's command to replenish the earth. He is OK with murdering babies, when God says we are to bring forth children. He wants to redistribute the working mans pay check, so he [we] can pay for the illegal's to have free medical and hospital care, free education and lunches, along with collecting social security and free living quarters.
He has now taken over ownership of our major banks, lending institutes, controlling General Motors through tarp funds, and he is forcing Chryslers auto industry to sale to a foreign car country, Fiat! Now the "great one" and Al Gore are working overtime to bankrupt the coal industry and oil companies that produce our daily energy by installing "Cap and Trade." Most people do not understand what cap and trade is!! DO YOU? It is said this cap and trade will increase every ones monthly bill who uses electric, gas or other sources of energy by $3,000.00 more a year.
This next one makes the human nature boil: It was sent from a friend living in Arizona. The heading starts with: "Obama is surprised vets don't want to pay their own Medical expenses. Obama is abandoning his proposal to require veterans to carry private health insurance to cover the estimated annual cost to the Federal government of treatment for injuries to Military personnel received during their tour of active duty. The president admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal. He then complained, look, it's an all volunteer force, nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they Whine about bearing the cost of their choice? It doesn't Compute! I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the Country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would try to help reduce the nations deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."
The writer comments:" I guess Obama just doesn't get that the American people love and appreciate our military guys and gals who lay their lives on the line so we can lay our heads down at night in peace. That's because he is not an American at heart. That much is Obvious. Why in the world people voted for him I'll never know, but we all will surely pay the price and bitterly regret the day that he took office. America is getting change but not the change they were looking to get. It's a shame but the people have been had again. (As Forest Gump says: "Stupid is as stupid does")" End of quote.
Here is more, the World Net Daily reported on April 30, 2009. What constitutes a hate crime. "The anti-Christian caucus of the U.S. House of Representative has acted today to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, and prosecute pastors, youth pastor, Bible teachers, and anyone else whose Bible speech and thought is based upon and reflects the truth found in the Bible. A pastor's sermon could be considered "hate speech" under this Legislation if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively Against person based on `sexual orientation.' The pastor could be prosecuted for `conspiracy to commit a hate crime." End of quote.
Most of you know May 7th, in the U.S. A. was a day set apart for the National Day of Prayer. Did Obama approve of it? "White House says no to Jesus, yes to Allah, on the national day of prayer. Breaking tradition with President George W. Bush, the Obama administration declined to host an event celebrating the National day of prayer this year. Obama's Judge Hamilton ruled: mention Jesus Christ or using terms such as "Savior"amounted to state endorsement of a Religion. But he ruled prayer to "Allah" were perfectly lawful. Judge Hamilton wrote: if those offering prayers choose to use the Arabic "Allah" the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others." End of quote.
Is the famine of God's word now around the corner? I believe Nimrod's- I mean Obama's "change you can believe in" is now being -made clear and the famine of God's word is very near.
What does God's word say or think about Obama being sworn into the highest office of the United States of America or as we know it as "the house of Israel?" "When you have come unto the land which the Lord your God gives to you, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, And shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; you shalt in any wise set him king over you, whom the Lord the God shall choose: one from among your brethren shalt you set king over you: you may not set a stranger [foreigner] over you, which is not your brother" (Deu 17: 14-15). James Moffatt translates these verses like this, "When you reach the country which the Eternal your God gives you and take possession of it and live in it, if you say to yourself, "I must have a king over me, like all the nations around me, then you may appoint a king whom the Eternal your God chooses. You must make one of your own country-men king over you; you must not put a foreigner over you, who is not a fellow-countryman [Israelite].
God as the sovereign ruler of this universe, brings two thoughts to mind. One - men and woman doing their own choosing decide their destiny and in rejecting God's principles accomplish their own ruin. And second - when man refuse to submit to the government of God's laws are unfit to govern a nation or themselves. Notice what God says in Deu. 28, in the Blessings and Curses chapter, "The stranger that is within your [ borders ] shall get up above you very high; and you shalt come down very low. He shall be the head, and you shalt be the tail. Moreover all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, till you be destroyed" (Deu.28:43-44).
We now have a new President who will not show proof that he is a natural born citizen of the United States of America, he will not reveal voluntarily his birth certificate, college records, - or passports, to be seen or examined to certify that he is a natural born citizen. Many blogs on the Internet are questioning his being the President, even many from the black community.
We now have a foreigner ruling over us! He is not a fellow citizen of the United States of America!
There are now lawyers working on proving this.
Obama HAS PAID $900,000.00 SO FAR TO BLOCK ALL OF HIS RECORDS FROM BEING EXPOSED.
UNTIL NOW!
One of his collage records was released by Occidental College in California. Here is what the "AP, Washington D.C." report said: "Obama faces more questions on citizenship April 2, 2009. In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "American for Freedom of Information" has released copies of president Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcripts indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school the transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript show that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial Aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign Citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's Legal eligibility to serve as president in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama's duel Citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Leo Donofrio's case is just one of more than 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or Qualification to serve as president." End of quote.
All indications are this year will have begun paving the way for the real beginning of "Jacob's Trouble." "Now these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the Lord; we have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask you now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's Trouble; but he shall be saved out of it" (Jer 30:4-7).
We are now seeing events that will be causing great and sudden distress knocking at our door. Jesus Christ spoke of these hardship to His disciples: "For nation shall rise against nation, and government against government : and there shall be famines, and pestilence, and earthquakes, in divers places" (Matt 24:7). Verse 21, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Vs. 8 tells us "All these are the beginning of sorrows." Continuing with verse 22 , "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's [first fruit's] sake those days shall be shortened."
Last year fore-shadowed food shortage like we can be expected to begin seeing this year 2009. News from all around the world continues to voice their share of troubling concern over the lack of rain - or too much rain, both sufficiently disturb the food crops.
Let's see if we see a pattern emerging? "And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third Beast say, come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth" (Rev 6:3-8).
In the Old Testament, Joel was inspired to write about the end time just ahead of us. "Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Is not the food cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? The seed is rotting under their clods, the garden's are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered [dried up]. How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. O Lord, to you will I cry: for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto you: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness" (Joel 1:15-21).
Israelite nations are witnessing curses because of their sins. Read - Lev 26 and Deu 28, to refresh your mind on what's just ahead.
We should by way of analogy consider the fall of ancient Babylon and question, is this the year that is going to tip the scales for the collapse of America? Is God's handwriting on the wall? Have we been weighed in the balances and been found wanting, like Babylon was ?
Prophetic events - now taking place should alert us to the fact that America and the other nations of Israel have very little time left before God's judgment on them begins. "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, also, you son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; an end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Now is the end come upon you, and I will send Mine anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations. And Mine eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: But I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of
You; and you shall know that I am the Lord. Thus saith
the Lord God; an evil, an only evil, behold, is come. An end is come, the end is come: it watch's for you; behold, It is come. The morning is come unto you, O you that dwells in the Land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near" (Ezek 7:1-7). [Read the rest of that chapter].
If Obama continues his Muslim tyranny -- like Nimrod did. There will be hatred causing - race riots that will rip this nation apart. If this were to happen by observing what took place in previous years the grocery stores and businesses will be looted along with the burning and destruction of many Federal and State buildings. This could put the people of this country in immediate need for food and undoubtedly this would also result in anarchy followed by the need for martial law.
These are sobering problems in view of Bible prophecy. As God's people we should be able to understand the climaxing end of Satan's rule staring at all of us in the face! Now is the time and need to draw near to our God! "Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn you even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents Him of the evil" (Joel 2:12-13).
This year looks like it might be laying the ground work for all of the final end-time prophecies to begin taking place!
