FNB’s eWallet – One step closer to eMark of the Beast

fnbs-ewallet-one-step-closer-to-emark-of-the-beast

What is FNB’s eWallet?  Well when I first heard about it on TV I nearly had a small heart attack.  If eWallet catches on which it will, because I believe First National Bank is the UN’s New World Order bank of choice for South Africa, then it will be a quite a big step towards moving South Africa towards a cashless society. Your SIM Card becomes your bank account. Your cellphone will become the device to do all your banking and purchases.

—————-

eWallet allows FNB customers to send money to anyone with a valid SA cell number. The money is transferred instantly and can be used to buy prepaid airtime, send money to another cellphone and more…

Chuck Smith from Calvary Chapel entertains Rick Warren

chuck-smith-from-calvary-chapel-entertains-rick-warren

This might be slightly old news, but I am bringing it up again because it seems that Chuck Smith (Calvary Chapel) is an ‘untouchable’.  Everything he does wrong, that goes against the Bible and being a Christian, when it is exposed, no matter what he does gets swept under the carpet. Well that time has come to an end.

In 2006, Chuck Smith denounced the teachings of Rick Warren:

“The teachings and positions of Rick Warren have come into conflict with us at Calvary Chapel. Pastor Chuck has directed us to discontinue this product [Purpose Driven Life] effective immediately.”  — http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/recall.htm

In 2009 Chuck Smith introduced Rick Warren as my good friend who pastors Saddleback Church at a Calvary Chapel’s 20-year anniversary called “Harvest Crusade” (16 Aug 09).   Chuck Smith asked Rick Warren to lead in prayer.


Egypt in Bible Prophesy

egypt-in-bible-prophesy

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)

Top 10 Most Influential “Christian” Leaders of 2010

top-10-most-influential-christian-leaders-of-2010

[DTW note: The most amazing things about all these men and women is this:  None of then are actually Chrisitan. They say they are Christian as they present you with their branded version of the Gospel. But that does not count.  You are either for Jesus Christ 100% or you are against him.  These people below preach another gospel, follow another Christ - therefore it is safe to say that they are 100% against Jesus Christ. - Please see notes next to each persons name.]

Top 10 Most Influential Christian Leaders of 2010

Taken from Christian Telegraph

Evangelist of the year – Reinhard Bonnke

The legendary evangelist has brought million of people in Africa to the Lord. Even as Reinhard is in his 70′s, his passion for Jesus is still going strong and he desires to awaken Europe, which has been spiritually asleep, to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. In addition to massive crusades, he views the internet as a great tool for evangelism and updates his Facebook page everyday. Reinhard has also prepared a successor for himself. [DTW note:  Reinhard Bonnke: Word of Faith / Latter Rain teaching - False Faith healer.  Caught lying about raising someone from the dead.]

Palestine – Land of the Philistines: Its Origin, Composition and Future

palestine-land-of-the-philistines-its-origin-composition-and-future

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.

Cindy Jacobs – False Prophecy for Australia 2001

cindy-jacobs-false-prophecy-for-australia-2001

Cindy Jacobs was invited by so called well to do preachers and ministers to come and speak on the 23rd May in South Africa at the  Global Day of Prayer. Why she was invited I have no idea because Cindy Jacobs is part of the New Apostolic Movement and a false prophetess.  Oh wait, so are the organisers of the GDOP.

She prophesied that Zimbabwe would be the breadbasket of Africa – that was over 10 years ago.

When Cindy was invited to Australia in 2001 she prophesied the following:

1. Australia is going to be a first fruits nation, an apostolic nation – a sending out nation.  [DTW note:  A first fruits nation?  That's quite bad for Australia, because it means no matter what happens they will have to be the first ones to cough up the bucks first time, every-time for eternity.]

Mass Prayer to Atone for Mankind’s Sins

ATONEMENT MASS PLANNED FOR SINS AGAINST LIFE

ROME, SEPT. 20, 2010 (Zenit.org).

A Mass of Atonement will be celebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica in reparation for all sins against life, as part of a congress celebrating the 15th anniversary of “Evangelium Vitae.”

The 5th World Prayer Congress for Life will take place Oct. 5-10 in Rome.

The Oct. 8 Mass, celebrated by Cardinal Angelo Comastri, archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, will allow participants to “bring the sins against life of individual nations to offer to God in reparation, according to the word of [the liturgy], ‘Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,’” one of the organizers explained to ZENIT.

ZENIT spoke with Dietmar Fischer, director of Human Life International Austria, one of the organizing institutions of the congress, which is expected to draw 500 participants from over 50 countries.

Seals, Trumpets, Bowls and The Blessed Hope

seals-trumpets-bowls-and-the-blessed-hope

I marvel at why ‘Christians’ want to go through the tribulation, especially when the Bible is clear that Jesus is going to rapture the body of Christ before the Tribulations starts.

Besides the Mark of the Beast where you will not be able to buy or sell, there are many other horrific things that are going to take place.

Let’s have a look at these things:

The Seven Seals

First Seal:  The Conqueror

Rev 6:1-2

1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”   2And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

  1. The White Horse = The Anti-Christ.
  2. He has a bow but now arrows.
  3. He goes out conquering and to conquer.

A Serious Warning – The End is Here

a-serious-warning-the-end-is-here

From: Roger Oakland, Understand the Times

A meeting held recently in Austria attended by the “elite,” has set in motion the agenda that will change the world until Jesus comes for His Church. (I Thessalonians 4:17).

Expect three trends to happen helping fulfil this end-time plan:

  1. The development of a global government.
  2. The development of a global currency within a global economy.
  3. The development of a global religion for peace.

The “fundamental transformation” of the United States and every other country in the world has begun.

Born-again, Bible-believing Christians will be a remnant. Believers who follow the true Jesus Christ and His Word will proclaim the truth in love and expose the “lie.” This will happen worldwide. I believe Christians can expect the following:

  1. The shocking collapse of many well respected “Christian” organizations.
  2. The development of a counterfeit bride for a counterfeit Christ (Revelation 17:1-9).
  3. Perilous times (2 Timothy:3).

The counter prevention for Apostasy:

As Christians We Must Judge Righteously

as-christians-we-must-judge-righteously

As Christians we do not judge a person’s life, i.e., sin, because we are all sinners (Matt 7:1)., we judge righteously according to the Word of God.  The Bible commands us to judge fellow Christians teachings and their fruit. Those in the church we are to judge according to the Word of God. Those outside of the church we show them the error of their ways, preach the gospel to them and then leave them in God’s hands. We are also commanded to judge/test their teachings/doctrine to make sure it is correct and that it ties up with scripture.

There are many verses in the bible where we are told to JUDGE/TEST:

———–

1 Thessalonians 5:21 (Amplified Bible)

21But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast.

———–

Matthew 7:15-20 (Amplified Bible)

15Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.

16You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

17Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit.

Do Not Tolerate Wicked People

do-not-tolerate-wicked-people

To Christians facing hardships, told not to question these liars; don’t lose heart.  Jesus knows what we are going through – keep standing strong.

The below scripture:

  1. Clearly tells us we are not to tolerate wicked men
  2. Clearly tells us we are to TEST (1 John 4:1-6)
  3. Clearly tells us we are to CRITICALLY APPRAISE
  4. Jesus warns us about these so called ‘apostles’ who are nothing but liars and impostors.
  5. We are told to MARK those who cause division (Romans 16:17-18)

Revelation 2:2-3 (Amplified Bible)

2I know your industry and activities, laborious toil and trouble, and your patient endurance, and how you cannot tolerate wicked [men] and have tested and critically appraised those who call [themselves] apostles (special messengers of Christ) and yet are not, and have found them to be impostors and liars.

3I know you are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My name’s sake, and you have not fainted or become exhausted or grown weary.

Mark Them Which Cause Division

mark-them-which-cause-division

Romans 16:17-18 (King James Version)

17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Palace of Peace and Reconciliation located in Astana, Kazakhstan

palace-of-peace-and-reconciliation-located-in-astana-kazakhstan

The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation

(also translated as the Pyramid of Peace and Accord) is a 77 m high building in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. The structure was built by Sembol Construction at a cost of 8.74 billion Kazakh tenge (about $58 million) and opened in late 2006.

The word Astana in Kazakh literally means Capital but the word itself originates from Persian (Astana, from the verb Istadan (آستان) to stand (in respect)), and literally means “threshold” (royal or sacred, where people stand in respect or awe), implying where the court is seated (the capital city) or the body of a sacred person in interred (a shrine town)  Wikipedia

Bayterek (Kazakh: Бәйтерек, “tall poplar [tree]“). The monument is meant to embody a folktale about a mythical tree of life and a magic bird of happiness: the bird, named Samruk, had laid its egg in the crevice between two branches of a poplar tree.  --Wikipedia

Burning the Koran – Jumping on the Bandwagon

burning-the-koran-jumping-on-the-bandwagon

What these pastors are doing is wrong!  We know that Islam is a false religion.  Burning the Koran will not convert a single soul. A Christians duty is to preach the Gospel – that is it!

We are to keep the Church in order on the inside – which has clearly not happened which is why we have pastors like Terry Jones, Bob Old and Duncan Philp, etc, placing peoples lives at risk.

God says that HE WILL DEAL with those who sit outside the body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13 (Amplified Bible)

11But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person.

12What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]?

13God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].
