Daily Digest: January 27, 2012

Verse of the Day
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Commentary
I am sorry about not being able to keep posting the Daily Digest, but the events with my dad have kept me away. He will be buried Monday, so it will not be until Tuesday at the earliest that I can post. 
   I have received so many wonderful emails and comments that I want to thank everyone for your prayers and kindness. My emotions are overwhelmed right now. Even though I am 63, it is strange to think of my dad not being there. We were very close through the years. I am going to take my time and put in writing the testimony of what happened with his salvation in the Lord Jesus. It will be a permanent part of the blog.
   The events in the Middle East are now racing towards war. I was away from the news for many days, but when I get a chance to look, it is clear the war with Iran is very close. The European economic meltdown continues to accelerate. Events are coming together, so that 2012 looks like the year that the fuse to Armageddon is going to be lit!
***Church-Burning Video Used to Promote Atheist Event at Ft. Bragg 01/27/12 I warned this was coming. The military is becoming a hotbed for God haters. The foundation is forming to use the military against the church. The Hard Left reprobates are not even trying to hide they want to kill Christians. This is the hardening of the military. Just watch as sodomites and atheists are quickly promoted through the ranks.
   "Atheists are using a music video that celebrates the burning of churches and synagogues to promote an upcoming atheist-themed festival at Fort Bragg. “Rock Beyond Belief” is scheduled to be held on the parade field at Fort Bragg in March. The event was created in part as a response to a Billy Graham Evangelistic Association event that was held last year."
   Once again, please use whatever short time is left to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. What you do for the Lord lasts into eternity, so live your life the fullest for Him. The best way to live your life to the fullest is with the Blessed Hope in your heart and mind. 
   May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.  
God's Final Warning to America 
I stated very emphatically that 2011 would be the zenith for the US military. The downsizing has begun, and Obama is the man to chop the military into pieces. America does not deserve its military, when the people do not care  that it was sodomized. The US military is now under judgment of the LORD with no end in sight.
Defending America — on a Budget  01/26/12
Military plan to delay submarine, engine projects could hurt Connecticut towns 01/27/12
As America Has Done To Israel  
Once again, the direct correlation between the United States pressuring Israel not to build on the covenant land and the collapse of the American housing industry.
US new-home sales fell in Dec., finish dismal 2011 01/25/12
US, UK and Germany: End settlement construction 01/24/12  "During a Security Council session, US Ambassador Susan Rice urged Israel to halt all settlement construction in the West Bank and work to quell settler violence against Palestinians. She also expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza." 
Israel and the Middle East War
Iran moving closer to stage where it will be too late to destroy nuclear facilities, Israel warns 01/27/12 The war is getting closer and closer. The signs all there of the soon conflict between Israel and Iran. This will turn the world upside down and especially the world economy.
   "Although Israeli intelligence and military officials have privately spoken of Iran's nuclear programme entering a "framework of immunity", it is the first time that a senior figure in Benjamin Netanyahu's government has done so in public." 
Navy wants commando ‘mothership’ in Middle East 01/27/12 More signs of the coming war.
There is so much more to post, but I do not have time right now. All the signs are pointing towards imminent war with Iran. Iran is not going to back down, while Israel is not going to let Iran build a nuclear weapon. Once the war starts, the road to Armageddon is wide open. The Day of the LORD and the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus with His bride cannot be far off.
Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Such a beautiful testimony of your father coming to the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am continuing to pray for much fruit to accrue to his account by his salvation and testimony that he gave, and you continue to proclaim.

So sorry to read about the loss of your Dad. Even though he lived a full life, it's never easy to say goodbye to a loved one -- especially a parent. Take solace in the fact that your Dad trusted in Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Because of Jesus' promise to us, one day you both will be reunited, where there is no pain, suffering, tears or sorrow. What a happy day that will be!

On an unrelated note, I thought you'd find this article from the New York Times magazine interesting:

Will Israel Attack Iran?

Blessings to you in Christ.

I guess they wouldn't DARE to have a video showing the burning of mosques. I think it is high time that churches start organising home meetings.

Thank you, John, for still sharing with us during this difficult time.
My Dad went to be with the Lord in 2004 ~ can't wait to see him again one day. I take care of my Mom who wl be 87 in April. (Hardest job I have ever done, because we were never close when I was young.) LOVED your story about your Dad being arrested ..it made me laugh. Also, Billy Graham's latest book "Nearing Home" (he's 93!) has helped me & I bought it for my Mom on audio for Christmas. It has given her so much peace.We all love you, John. Tx for all you do and "Shalom."

Although I'm not Catholic, I found this commentary about Obamacare interesting and worth sharing.

Obama Sandbags the Archbishop
http://townhall.com/columnists/patbuchanan/2012/01/31/creators_oped

There are issues where evangelicals can respectfully disagree and divide with Catholics and the official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. However, this is not one of them.

That Obamacare would force the church's health care facilities to offer birth control to patients -- against the church's teachings -- should be troubling to any U.S. Christian. In this election year, it is especially important that Christians not stay silent, but that our voice is heard.

I believe that we're called to make a difference in our local communities, in our states, in our nation and around the world. We can't do so, though, if our voice is not heard.
