World views - Part Two
The World:
Man is getting better and more civilized so one day we will not have hatred, war, violence.
This is not True. With Sin in the world and Satan in control of the kingdoms of this world then there will not be any change in our behavior or the root cause of our actions. Only when the Messiah is on the throne will the world have a chance to see what Peace is but even then Sin will still be present. For the Christian the penalty of sin has been paid for and the power of sin is broken. I sin daily but all God sees is His Son in me. I will have to answer to to the Lord for my actions in and out of the Body but not my sin.
Religious tolerance is what is needed to bring all faiths together as one faith and to unite the world in love.
Religion has never saved anyone. Religion is mans attempt to relink himself to a Righteous and Holy God by his own works and power. I have no tolerance for any Religion because God does not have a part in any of them. True Christianity it is not a religion but a relationship with a person: Jesus (God).
There are many ways to God and everyone has to find his or her own way.
See the above answer
Global warming is caused by man and we are killing the planet.
During the middle of the day go outside and look up. That big flaming thing in the sky is the cause of global warming and cooling. Solar output, solar flares and cosmic rays are what cause the earth to heat and cool in cycles. Long cycles: the weather behavior this year has its roots in solar cycles of five hundred years past. Not me.
Zombie Apocalypse (This is a catchall for any Nut-job, Scientific or Educated theory that claims that the "End of the World" is going to happen on specific date in the near/distant/Next Friday future and that we have to start planning now if we want to survive.)
If any of what you hear or see going on in the world today worries you, then you need to make sure that you have made adequate preparation for the future.
This is an enigmatic statement that does not answer the above argument. Personally, I think having a weeks worth of food per person stored is a great idea that every American should look into. Civil unrest, anarchy, and chaos could be around the corner for our nation and then again they could not.
The bible goes into great detail about the events at the end of the age and tells what is to be expected before the return of Christ to the earth to rule: Meteors, Return of the Nephalim, Nuclear War and Famine are just some of the things to be expected in the future. But, should these things consume us with fear and anxiety? No. If you are in Christ, then it matters not one bit what the future holds for this world: He is in control and the wrath to come is the 'Wrath of the Lamb' (The bible says so.)
Pray for our Nation and pray for Israel: Let God handle the details; its His Kingdom and His Judgments are Righteous and True.

What the world believes and what is real are two different things:

Religious tolerance is what is needed to bring all faiths together as one faith and to unite the world in love.
There are many ways to God and everyone has to find his or her own way.

Matthew Twenty-four and Twenty-five
1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24-25, King James Version)

Life driven purpose
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (2 Peter 3:2-5, King James Version)
The bible wars us to not be 'willingly ignorant' about the return of Jesus to the earth. Or as we in Oklahoma might say. "Dumb on purpose." in regards to God's overall plan for Israel, The Church and the Earth dwellers. Maranatha!

Back from my Sabbatical and I am sad
I have it from a reliable source that The Local Malcontent has decided to discontinue his blogging and this makes me sad: I have enjoyed the posts of my friend's thoughts and I will miss reading them. There needs to be more Malcontents in this world. Farewell Ron, Leticia and Dillon.
Some of the things I learned from The Local Malcontent:
Groucho Marx is cool
Red State Update
Mark Levin
Michael Anthony Tanner
Southeast Oklahoma is THE coolest place in the USA to live
Revelation Twelve
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
