 And you thought we were the only country in the world with someone trying to Toll our highways. Nope siree. Texas in the Us of A is having the exact and I mean the exact same problem.
For those who do not understand future events that will transpire shortly, this newly renovated highway of ours was not built for your convenience, it was built to swiftly impoverish all individuals and imprison you in your own country.
If you want to know more, if you care to know the real truth as to why Sanral went ahead and took a loan for an astronomical R20 billion from the Word Bank without consulting the public as to whether they are even interested in paying +/- 40c p/km, then please read further.

 Rationalization
Did you know that the European Union was an experiment
that had long been planned by those behind a one world
government. The idea being that if the European Union
proved the success of political and economic integration
then this model could be repeated across other world regions.
Now we have the Africa Union and the coming North American
Union. Other regions are still at the economic union only
stage but it is much easier to start off with economic union
followed by political union rather than the other way around.

 The Calvinism of Rick Warren
by Brenda Nickel Friday, 25 November 2011 – http://www.carylmatrisciana.com
Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, California often finds himself at the center of controversy for joining hands with those of questionable doctrine and practice. One of the more surprising partnerships in recent years is his attachment to Calvinism and not just any Calvinism but what he cleverly calls “Kuyper Calvinism.” His switch to Calvinism has made for some interesting bedfellows as people on both sides of the issue are now related to one another and trying to manage their new found “cousins” in their family.
 Albert Mohler
Announcement
Rick Warren’s shift to Calvinism was officially announced in 2007 when he was accepted into the membership of Together for the Gospel (T4G), a Calvinist organization that began with conservative Calvinists Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever, Al Mohler and C. J. Mahaney for the purpose of promoting Calvinism’s core “Doctrines of Grace” (aka TULIP). Warren released a statement explaining his association with T4G shortly after his acceptance saying, “I know this is going to be difficult for many to accept, but in the famous words of Martin Luther ‘My conscience is captive to the word of God!’ I look forward to building relationships with those with whom I have disagreed for so long. I am excited to now be a part of the Together for the Gospel team.” While this was Rick Warren’s “coming out” event, it’s not his first mention of Calvinism. He’s apparently held to the sovereign predestining purposes of God for some time.

Where is the U.S. in Bible Prophecy?

China said Wednesday it would avoid “invasion, expansion or war” — but not at the expense of its claims on Taiwan — as it seeks to dispel fears over its military build-up and territorial assertiveness. Washington and China’s neighbours have expressed rising concerns about Beijing’s claims in the South China Sea, military spending and new high-tech equipment that includes an aircraft carrier that trialled last month. Introducing a white paper on China’s “peaceful” development plans, Wang Yajun, head of the Central Foreign Affairs Office — which advises the top leadership — reiterated the “defensive” nature of China’s defence policy. |

A new Pentagon report indicates China’s sustained military investments are destabilizing and exposes the Marxist giant’s global ambitions. The free world had better wake up to the security threat posed by this hegemonic menace.Last week the Pentagon issued its annual report to Congress, which warns, “China’s rise as a major international actor is likely to stand out as a defining feature of the strategic landscape of the early 21st century.” |

 The Third Intifada
Prof. Johan Malan, Mossel Bay, South Africa (April 2011) www.bibleguidance.co.za
The widening circle of Arab uprisings in the Middle East is a cause of great concern to Christians, Jews, and all people who prefer peaceful solutions to violent struggles in settling political, religious and other disputes. The situation is rapidly deteriorating as the revolutions spread from one country to another, everywhere aimed at bringing down the local government and replacing it with an “Islamic people’s government”. The circle of violence is closing in on Israel and the scene is already set for a “Third Intifada” by the Palestinians and their millions of militant supporters in neighbouring Muslim countries.
Although the securing of human rights is offered as an excuse for the present uprisings, there is clearly a very strong Islamic motivation for the revolts. Islamic jihads (so-called ‘holy wars’) became an ever increasing phenomenon in modern times after the restoration of Israel in 1948. By the early 1980s Islamic revolutions were already so firmly established that Prof. E. Gellner wrote in his book, Muslim Society, (1983): “It is evident that Islam enjoys the biggest political support of all the world’s religions during the 20th century… It is able to generate intense revolutionary fervour and to combine with extreme radicalism. As a means for political mobilisation Islam has surpassed Marxism, as well as all other religions.”

 E-Democracy and Saudi Arabia
Prof. Johan Malan, Mossel Bay, South Africa (March 2011) – www.bibleguidance.co.za
The worldwide quest for democracy has entered a new phase with the large-scale utilisation of the electronic media – particularly the TV, internet and cell phones. These amenities allow for extended public participation in any matters of general interest, particularly also political and socio-economic matters. The electronic media expedite the transmission of information, images, sound recordings and video footage all over the world, also into restricted areas. In this way much more public support is mustered for a particular cause, and the intensive use of such aides even have the potential to organise and inspire global movements.
When the organising of participatory democratic movements is extensively driven by the use of electronic media such a system may be described as an “e-democracy”. This term refers to the use of information technologies and communication technologies in the execution of political and governance objectives. Obviously, these facilities may also be used by dissident groups to exchange information and rally themselves for the promotion of one or other democratic cause.

 Could Western Democracy Be an Option Here?
Prof. Johan Malan, Mossel Bay, South Africa (March 2011) - www.bibleguidance.co.za
The widespread turmoil in the Arab world has caused unprecedented political instability in North Africa and the Middle East and threatens to plunge the entire region into the troubled waters of anarchy. This turn of events was a big shock to most people who have started adapting to a political landscape characterised by moderate dictatorships, and a few radical ones too, which are obviously a cause for concern. It has already become apparent that a serious degree of social unrest, economic disruption and political volatility could follow upon the sudden breakdown of existing authority structures. Such changes are not evolutionary but revolutionary, and may inflict political and economic wounds that will take a very long time to heal.

 Understand the Times said; “A commentary regarding the coming great meeting with Tony Blair and Rick Warren, March 6, 2011, will be published soon on Lighthouse Trails’ website and written by Roger Oakland. For now, it can be said, this alliance is what it is.
Anyone with half a clue should be able to discern that there is no gospel in doing good, and that Rick Warren’s peace plan is the one found in the Bible regarding the last days that sets up the Antichrist. Warren and Blair both seem to be bent on working with the pope in order to establish the Kingdom along with Glen Beck, Sarah Palin and some in Calvary Chapel who believe that the American Founding Fathers were Christians and therefore America is a Christian nation.
Such nonsense is being promoted by people like David Barton who is toted by some as the savior of America.
 As I watch the turmoil taking place in Egypt I am saddened that a country such as Egypt will soon turn their backs on Israel. At the same time I rejoice because what is happening right now, is the fullfillment of biblical prophecy and the leading upto the time of Jacobs trouble (Jeremiah30:7). Jesus is COMING BACK SOON!
Where Does Egypt Fit Into Bible Prophecy?
From: Prophecy News Stand
These are the days when the Bible is its own best commentary. Imagine Isaiah the prophet standing on the streets of Cairo today speaking in front of a mainstream news camera declaring:
“The burden against Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, And will come into Egypt; The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom. The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. And the Egyptians I will give Into the hand of a cruel master, And a fierce king will rule over them,” Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts. (Isaiah 19:1-4, nkjv)

 Palestine: Its Origin, Composition and Future
Prof. Johan Malan, Mossel Bay, South Africa (February 2011)
Intense international interest in the creation of a Palestinian state within the traditional territory of Israel is heading for a climax in the very near future. Major world powers as well as international bodies are directly involved with the establishment of such a state, thereby raising its significance to a key factor in efforts to secure peace and a new balance of power in the Middle East as well as the whole world.
However, serious fears are already expressed that the entire process of promoting the emergence of Palestine will not only be to the detriment of Israel but in fact threaten its very existence. From a biblical point of view, a future world without the physically and spiritually restored Israel will be an evil world that will open the way for the global control of the Antichrist. This new world will be utterly anti-Jewish and anti-Christian.

Obama the Destroyer
Since Barack Obama first appeared on TV he has been referred to as the The One, Messiah, Christ and God. This is the latest installment from NEWSWEEK. In its November 22, 2010 issue, Obama has been shown on its cover page with multiple arms balancing several policy issues while raising his left leg mimicking the cosmic dance of the Hindu deity; considered a manifestation of Lord Shiva.
Wikipedia says: Nataraja or Nataraj, The Lord (or King) of Dance; Tamil: (Kooththan)) is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation. Nataraja is most often depicted through a statue. The dance of Shiva in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. He is also known as “Sabesan” which splits as “Sabayil aadum eesan” in Tamil which means “The Lord who dances on the dais”.The form is present in most Shiva temples in South India, and is the main deity in the famous temple at Chidambaram. –The Dance of Shiva By Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nataraja#cite_note-The_Dance_of_.C5.9Aiva-0

Rick Warren claims to be a Calvinist (since when who knows) oh wait, Rick Warren will be anything you want him to be ;) even Barack Obama’s Christian mentor.
Now Rick Warren author of Purpose Driven Life and Purpose Drive Church is an Emergent, in other words his Christ is the Cosmic Christ. He is part of the Ecumenical interfaith movement where his goal is to bring all faiths together under one Christ. So when you hear him speaking about Jesus it’s not Jesus Christ of the Bible, but another Jesus. Rick sounds quite biblical, yet what he says in this video is very, very, off.
I am posting this article for now, but I want to do a transcript of the video which I will put up a bit later… watch the video and tell me what you think.
