World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: The calls for peace and global government are continuing to come forth. The world was on the edge of a major war in Syria just weeks ago. This is a part of the end times deception. There will be no peace though it eventually will come very close (1 Thes. 5:3).

(EurActiv) – The imminent breach of a promise by EU states to spend 0.7% of their gross income on overseas aid by 2015 is sparking calls for the UN to be given ‘coercive’ powers to force rich nations to honour future aid pledges.  Continue reading “Dwindling EU aid spurs UN ‘global governance’ calls”

Ecuador’s foreign ministry announced on Friday that the US has seemingly denied visas to a delegation that was set to travel to the UN General Assembly in New York to present their case regarding an ongoing dispute against Chevron-Texaco.

According to the ministry’s official announcement, the visas for the five Ecuadorian nationals were returned by the US Embassy in Quito “without any explanation.”   Continue reading “Ecuador protests denial of US visas for plaintiffs in Chevron oil damages case”

The UN nuclear agency crushed an effort of Arab states to reign in nuclear Israel, rejecting a non-binding resolution on Friday that would have compelled Israel to join the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and place its arsenal under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision.

“Israel has once again become the exception to international norms to reduce the potential of nuclear war and reduce nuclear weapons,” Deborah Agre from the Middle East Children’s Alliance told Common Dreams.   Continue reading “UN Stamps Out Measure to Reign In Nuclear Israel”

The Navy Yard shooter has put the AR-15 in the news. Yes, the shooter didn’t use an AR-15 — he took Joe Biden’s advice and used a shotgun — but that didn’t stop newspapers from putting the AR-15 in its headlines because any time there is a shooting, you can’t help but think of that evil evil AR-15. Thus I’ve had my crack research staff find out all they can about the world’s most deadliest weapon.   Continue reading “Know Thy Enemy: AR-15”

Recent disclosures of tons of radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima reactors spilling into the ocean are just the latest evidence of the continuing incompetence of the Japanese utility, TEPCO. The announcement that the Japanese government will step in is also not reassuring since it was the Japanese government that failed to regulate the utility for decades. But, bad as it is, the current contamination of the ocean should be the least of our worries. The radioactive poisons are expected to form a plume that will be carried by currents to coast of North America. But the effects will be small, adding an unfortunate bit to our background radiation. Fish swimming through the plume will be affected, but we can avoid eating them.   Continue reading “Fukushima Forever”

Storing an ample supply of water is an often overlooked area of preparedness – even though we know it is the most important item for our survival. I will be the first to admit that I am guilty of this. Don’t get me wrong, we have at least a 3 day supply of water, and plenty of water filters and purifying tablets, but as far as having enough water stashed away for a family of 5 … I will admit that we don’t have as much as we should – and it’s time to change this.   Continue reading “5 Short Term Methods to Store Water”

This week I received some information that my ministry was being petitioned by change.org, which is funded by none other than the international criminal George Soros, in an attempt to prevent my participation at the Minnesota State Fair. We also became aware of the fact that he who is petitioning the ministry is representing himself under a feigned manner and has no affiliation with the Fair. Outside of the fact that I have nothing to hide, the truth and facts, which bear forth my fruit, will expose their lies and those advocating crimes toward our American republic.   Continue reading “The George Soros Campaign to Quash Freedom of Speech Against Homosexuality”

Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and Republicans that it would dim coal’s future.

The proposal, which would set the first national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants, is intended to help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by cleaner sources of energy. It’s also a key step in President Barack Obama’s global warming plans, because it would put in motion proposals to end what he called “the limitless dumping of carbon pollution” from all power plants.   Continue reading “Obama Moves to Limit Power-Plant Carbon Pollution”
