					<description><![CDATA[Ray, Jack Van Impe has been content to be part of the The Blasphemy Network’s “family” for many years. He himself is a mixed bag and an advocate of Rome. 

Of course we don’t know who all the players are, but surely the stage is being set and TBN, being a friend to Rome is bound to play a part given their worldwide system.

These things are interesting to contemplate, and that is the topic of this thread, but as believers, our focus needs to be as guardians of the truth of God’s Word and His Gospel which is being compromised on every hand by so-called evangelicals. There is much confusion about the end times and rightly dividing the Word in regard to eschatology.
All these events will unfold at the proper time and none of this is a surprise to God. 

There is no doubt that we are on the very brink of seeing the revealing of the person who is the embodiment of the spirit of antichrist and his counterpart. But before that can happen the true Body of Christ will be removed from the scene and we will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Until then may we remain steadfast in the truth against
the onslaught of lies and half-truths that are so prevalent.]]></description>

Ray

He is indeed &lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt; anti-Christ - everyone who does not believe in the biblical Jesus is an anti-Christ.  As for being the false prophet, well that is something interesting...  What you say about the sacrificing in the temple could very possibly be true.  Postribbers (people who don&#039;t believe in the rapture) believe that Jews do not need to sacrifice because Jesus became the replacement sacrifice and God won&#039;t allow sacrificing to take place again, nor will the temple be rebuilt.  But for some unknown reason they fail to understand that Jews don&#039;t work on Christian beliefs and they will sacrifice in the rebuilt temple AGAIN.  Interesting.  The bible speaks about &#039;Christians&#039; who cause nothing but destruction in Jerusalem (Joels Army).

					<description><![CDATA[Is Matt Crouch of TBN the anti-Christ or, perhaps, the false prophet?

Have we been looking in the wrong direction for these Satanic personalities? Recently, largely as a result of Matt Crouch&#039;s disapproval of his methodology
of preaching, Jack Van Impe was cancelled from TBN programming. They refused to air one of his programs dealing with Chrislam and a number of false teachers who are promoting it, some on TBN itself, so he voluntarily backed out of any further telecasts involving that network. Also recently, TBN just opened a new broadcast studio right in the middle of Jerusalem to cover Israel. There is a prophetic passage in the Bible that speaks about the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not, on a wing of the temple which puts a stop to some form of revived ancient Hebrew ritual of daily animal sacrifice. Could this be a reference to some type of Christian influence...pressure, if you will, along with the assistance from animal rights advocate groups to get animal slaughter banned from the prophesied future 3rd Jewish temple during the end times? After all, it is the Christian belief that animal sacrifice is no longer needed, or even accepted anymore, since they believe Jesus Christ was the lamb led to slaughter on the crucifix by the Romans. Is it possible the &quot;wing of the temple&quot; from Daniel 9:27 might be referring to the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem or maybe a section of the temple complex itself, like the West Wing of the White House? There is a general consensus among contemporary theologians that the 3rd Jewish temple mount complex will share the massive foundation sitting above the western wall (wailing wall) with the Islamic controlled Dome of the Rock. Will Christianity demand a collective representation of their religion and set up an image of their own atop this lofty place? Might this be the origin of the prophesied &quot;one world religion&quot; Revelations speaks of, perhaps with a three-tier legislative constituency made up of Judaism, Christianity and Islam? Judischristlam, if you will? It might be relevent to mention that Matt Crouch is also a young man, which is one of the requirements of the end times false prophet. It yet remains to be seen whether he will assume operational control of that center but I have noticed in watching him that he likes to take the reigns of conversation when the camera is on him. Even his dad and founder of TBN, Paul Crouch, complained (in a submissive way) about his son&#039;s arrogant, overbearing tendencies with guests and staff members on the air. 

Daniel 9:27 (HCSB)

27 He will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator. 

Daniel 12:11 

11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 

Mark 13:14

14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:]]></description>

True.  But I must say.  If this is supposed to first happen in the USA, then you should come here, because we are close runners up to you guys :)

Tell me something, I dunno who the voting thing works in the USA.  How are the NAR etc going to get into power in the gov?  Is there another vote coming up or is the Obama clan and the NAR clan all in cahoots with each other anyhow?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is the general movement or apostasy that has been prophesied and which will trigger last the day events prior to the return of Christ in the clouds of Heaven. The belief is that in order to save the US and the world, Church and State must work together, they must unite again, and the church must be allowed to wield the power of the State to enforce morality, first in the US, and then in all the world, to enforce the will of God upon all. This will take place in the United States first and all nations will follow her example. It will be a return to the Dark Ages when the Church wielded the secular power to enforce her decrees. This is what what we have been warned against. These religious leaders are well-meaning but they are deceived.

					<description><![CDATA[Very interesting indeed. 

“LONDON — Former Prime Minister Tony Blair made a dramatic pre-election return to domestic British politics Tuesday with an attack on the policies of David Cameron, the smooth young Conservative leader sometimes nicknamed “Tory Blair.”Blair’s return, weeks before a national election, came in a speech urging voters to give his Labour Party a fourth term in office.”In uncertain times, there’s a lot to be said for certain leadership,” Blair said, dismissing the Conservative campaign slogan “vote for change” as “the most vacuous slogan in politics.”.” ♦ –Former PM Tony Blair returns to campaign trail By JILL LAWLESS (AP) – 2 hours ago–

“Matthew 8:24-27And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

James Kirkup is right – despite the orange glow, there was something bilblical about Tony Blair’s return to British politics. Just read this part of his speech:All round the globe, in Cabinets, in boardrooms, at work places such a debate is happening about how best to proceed. We cannot understate the pain some people have gone through as a consequence of the global crisis or the insecurity they now face. For many young people and equally young families or people whose livelihoods have been badly hit, the anxiety has not abated, it continues. What we can say is compared to the fear of what might have been, we have emerged better than virtually any predicted. Hard decisions lie ahead undoubtedly.
