According to ABC radio news, President Obama has decided not to take action on amnesty for illegal aliens (“immigration reform” in Left euphemism) until after the 2014 election. Of course, the reason he decided to wait was because some Democrat Senators up for reelection this year are scared silly that they will lose the election if MORE amnesty is implemented before the election. They think the American voter is TOO STUPID to realize there is no difference whether an illegal act is implemented before or after an election. It is still an illegal act that will do great harm to America!

“Why the Left Behind Film is Not Biblical
by Gary DeMar
October 8, 2014
The reboot of a film version of Left Behind has turned out to be a commercial flop even though it has some big named-actors in it (That may be the problem!—my addition).
The Left Behind book series is a revival of other end-time novels that have been plaguing the Christian publishing world for nearly 90 years. The first end-time Christian novel that I was able to find was the 1937 publication of Forrest Loman Oilar’s Be Thou Prepared, for Jesus is Coming. Oilar includes the entire left behind scenario in one volume. It took the authors of the Left Behind series 16 volumes to tell their story (Make more money in a 16 volume series than in a one volume book! Am I being skeptical?—my addition).
Ernest Angley followed a similar script with his 1950 Raptured: A Novel. One of the most interesting post-rapture novels is Salem Kirban’s 666, first published in 1970. By 1976, it had gone through fourteen printings with over 500,000 copies sold. Like Oilar’s Be Thou Prepared, there are a number of striking similarities with Left Behind. The ‘rapture’ takes place when the main characters are on an airplane; their wives were believers who were taken in the ‘rapture’; the ‘rapture’ is explained away by those who are left behind; those who do not bow down and worship the beast are martyred by having their heads cut off by a guillotine.
Hal Lindsey’s 1970 novel-like The Late Great Planet Earth sold tens of millions of copies in the 1970s (I read this one. It is the only one I read. We had a Sunday school teacher when I was in high school who was convince the “rapture” would occur in 1973—25 years after Israel became a State again! My parent’s church. Not mine! We are all still here!—my addition) with its claim that the ‘rapture’ would come prior to 1988—40 years after the founding of the new state of Israel in 1948. It didn’t, even though it was eagerly anticipated and pushed with a great deal of certainty (By a lot of people! Some when they are wrong just push the date back. I have a friend. The last date she told me after several earlier dates was 2013. She has been wrong every time!—my addition).
So what’s so unbiblical about the premise of these end-time prophecy thrillers? There is not a single verse in the New Testament that says that Christian believers (the church) will be taken to heaven prior to a seven-year period that ushers in the Great Tribulation. Let me repeat—not a single verse (Agree!—my addition). This doesn’t mean that prophecy writer don’t try to defend their view biblically. They do, but they still have not made a solid biblical case for their position.
Also, there is no mention in the New Testament of a rebuilt temple and an antichrist making a covenant with Israel and then breaking it. The three necessary requirements for a left behind scenario to take place are conspicuously absent in the New Testament (Strange!—my addition).
In addition, the nearly 2000-year gap between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel 9: 24-27 that is necessary for all of the above to take place is not mentioned in the passage. If the 70th week (seven years) is not separated for the other 69 weeks (483 years) with a gap now nearly 2000 years in length, then the entire left behind scenario is impossible to defend (Plus this, Jesus speaking in Matthew 11: 12-14 (NIV) “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.” Did you get that? All the prophets of the Old Testament prophesied up until the time of John the Baptist! NOT 2,000 years after John the Baptist!—my addition).
Antichrists were alive and well in the first century (Yes, they were!—my addition). John (The apostle John—one of the twelve!—my addition) says so: ‘Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour’ (1 John 2: 18). The ‘even now’ refers to John’s day (Yes!—my addition).
Notice also that there were ‘many antichrists.’ It’s interesting to note that the book of Revelation never uses the phrase ‘seven years,’ the duration of the supposed post-rapture tribulation period, or the word ‘antichrist.’
So what are the prophetic passages in the New Testament talking about that have been used for generations to predict the near end? It’s really quite simple. Jesus was describing events that were going to happen to the generation of His time. Wars and rumors of wars, famines (Acts 11: 27-29), earthquakes (Matt. 27: 54; 28: 2; 16: 26), persecutions (Acts 7), etc. are events that are common in every generation as they were in that generation.
Some will point to ‘plagues’ mentioned in Luke’s version of the Olivet Discourse and mention the outbreak of Ebola (Luke 21: 11). We forget the great plagues that ravaged Europe centuries ago and the influenza pandemic of 1918.
Jesus made it clear that it was ‘this generation” (Matt. 24: 34), the generation that stood before Him that would undergo a ‘great tribulation (The birth pangs of the New Testament church and the persecution they endured for the faith!—my addition),’ the generation that would not pass away until all the things Jesus said would happen took place. Each and every time ‘this generation’ is used in the gospels it ALWAYS refers to the generation to whom Jesus was speaking (Matthew 11: 16; 12: 41–42; 23: 36; Mark 8: 12; Luke 7: 31; 11: 30–32, 50–51; 17: 25). It never refers to a future generation or a race of people.
The tribulation was local. It could be escaped by fleeing Judea and taking refuge in the nearby mountains (Matthew 24: 15-20).
Notice the use of the second person plural (‘you’) throughout Matthew 24 (vv. 2, 4, 6, 9, 15, 33). If Jesus had a future generation in view, He would have said, ‘when they see these things.’
Sure enough, within a generation, the Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem, sacked the city, destroyed the temple, and according to the eyewitness testimony of Flavius Josephus, killed more than a million Jews and took tens of thousands of Jews into captivity.
Was the gospel preached to the ‘whole world’ (v. 14) before that generation passed away? According to the Bible, yes, in the same way the ‘whole world was taxed’ (Luke 2: 1 – the same Greek word is used for ‘world’: oikoumenē not kosmos). Take a look at these passages: Romans 1: 8; 16: 25-27; Colossians 1: 6, 23; 1 Timothy 3: 16.
There’s much more that I could say on these matters. For a more detailed, verse-by-verse exposition of Matthew 24, see my books Last Days Madness, Is Jesus Coming Soon?, and my video series Basic Training for Understanding Bible Prophecy that had an impact on the star of the first Left Behind film.
I realize that the above view will be hard for many students of Bible prophecy to accept (Oh, yes! Some who are wrong keep coming back with a new date! By the way, in the Old Testament how could the people tell a true prophet? If he was correct, he was a prophet! If he was wrong, he was not!—my addition). I can assure you that it is not a new view. When Scripture is compared with Scripture, it makes the best sense (Agreed! And no, I’ve never read any of Gary’s books!—my addition).
Also, carefully study I Corinthians 15.
Some salient portions:
I Corinthians 15: 20-25 (NIV)
“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.”
I Corinthians 15: 42-44 (NIV)
“So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.”
I Corinthians 15: 50-54 (NIV)
“I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
Mark 13: 32-33 (NIV)
“‘But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.”
Whether this passage is speaking of the destruction of the temple or the resurrection, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE TIME WILL COME!
We can save the nation by replacing establishment Republicans and Democrats with social, fiscal conservatives!
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
If not now, when?
If not now, why?
If not us, who?

The Obama Administration: How NOT to govern a nation!
CLOSE THE BORDER! NO REFUGEE STATUS!
NO AMNESTY! DEPORT THEM ALL!
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
Impeachment IS the answer!
Galatians 6: 7-9 (NIV)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! In the end, VICTORY belongs to GOD and HIS people! HIS people are, by definition, CHRISTIANS! Followers of JESUS, the CHRIST!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
