POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A dictator will "make war on the saints [the Christian nations],gain power over every nation," (Revelation 13.7).This conquest implies world war. Yes, NUCLEAR war would explain "sudden destruction" at Rapture(1 Thessalonians 4.16-5.3)
A New Improved Interpretation of the Cross
Isaiah tells us Christ "bore the sins of many".
Like John the Baptist before him,
Paul the apostle says Christ takes away the sins of the world.
But Psalms 69, verse 9, introduces a whole new facet
of the multifaceted "diamond" that is the Cross of Christ.
"The reproaches of those that reproach [God] have fallen on Me."
Meaning that God's "sins" (in the eyes of
people who feel wronged by Him),
"Have fallen on [Christ]".
Im not saying God has actually sinned.Of course.
Just that it is...

The Sign of Christ's Return
The real sign that Christ's Return is about to happen
Is the coming to power of the Antichrist.
For we read that the purpose of the Second Coming is to "destroy the Wicked One" namely the Antichrist. (2Thessalonians 2.7-8).
So the Antichrist has to come ahead of the Second Coming.
And whenever the Antichrist takes over the world, Christ's Appearing has to be -- by definition -- right around the corner.
But how does the Antichrist come to power over the whole world?? By MAKING WAR. For we read that,

Life is Like the Seasons of the Year
Birth is like Spring.
For birth means new life
And so does Spring.
The birds return in Spring.
Each Spring its as if they come into existence for the very first time.
As youth is followed by maturity,
So Spring gives way to Summer's heat
After innocence of youth comes sexual development and,hopefully, hot romance.
Middle age is the Fall or rather Autumn of life.
Its not the Fall as in "the Fall of Man".
Rather its the harvest season,
the time of joyful celebration of long-range accomplishments.
Finally there is...

Using Roe v Wade as Case Law
Justice Blackmun wrote the Roe v Wade decision,
Giving his reasoning, his rationale for it.
He had the nerve to use "moral judgment" as the basis for summary execution of the fetus.
I mean, because the fetus lacks "moral judgment" - a prime human trait -
It obviously is subhuman, a non-person.
Therefor it can be killed with impunity.
That sums up Blackmun's reasoning.
Using that same line we could say that killers who are retarded (such that their sense of right and wrong is dim at best)
Deserve the death penalty...

Making Sense Out of Rabbi Kaduri's Message
Rabbi Kaduri was one of the leading rabbis of Israel.
He lived 108 years, so you know He was a special dude.
When he was 106 the Messiah appeared to him, he claimed.
He said the name of the Messiah is Jehoshua, the long version of Joshua.
JESUS is the Greek form of Joshua, so Jehoshua = Jesus.
I'm a Christian, so Kaduri's claim that Jesus is the Messiah appeals to me. It
validates his claim to have met the Messiah.
I mean Kaduri wouldn't have said such a "blasphemous" thing ...

Four Women That Are ONE AND THE SAME WOMAN
The "woman caught in adultery" and
The "sinner" who washed Christ's feet with her hair and
Mary Magdalen "out of whom Christ cast 7 demons"
and Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus --- They may well be all the SAME WOMAN.
Here's the circumstantial evidence:
(1)the woman caught in adultery was about to be stoned to death
but then Christ says the words that saved her life:
"He that without sin, let him cast the first stone."
So she had reason to be grateful - overwhelminglly grateful - to Christ.

Which Is It: Russia Has Gone From Enemy to Friend to Enemy Again Or..
Has It Always(Since 1917) Been An Enemy,
But for a while pretended to be our friend?
Did Russia really go from Communist to democracy for a short time,
But now has gone over to authoritarianism, In other words dictatorship??
Or did it go from Communism directly to authoritarianism with the "democracy" phase being only "potemkin democracy"
(a term Hillary Clinton once used. )
Has Communism really fallen or is it just playing possum??
If the fall of Marxism/Leninism was more...

The Law of Moses = BONDAGE We Are To Put Off !!
Back in Nov 2016 I was visiting a friend.
He saw an article in the newspaper about prehistoric infants buried 27,000 years ago - recently excavated.
My friend scoffed at the dating of the bones as "27,000 years old."
"How can they know the bones are that old --- they can't.
For the Bible says the world is only 6,000 years old !!
They are outrageously presumptuous, " he said.
There you go again, I replied.
Dont you know you're totally in bondage to the Law of Moses -- the 5 books of Moses.
Why did I...

Winter is a Painful Season
Wintertime can be so depressing.
As the trees lose their leaves they portray Jews disrobing in the concentration camp during the Holocaust.
After they're told to get ready to take a shower,
they are herded into the shower room.
They expect water to be raining down
from the spigot,
But only gas comes down, whitish gas descending like snow, except it is deadly gas.
Yes, as the snow in winter comes down it reminds me of the poison gas used by the Nazis
in their satanic scheme to exterminate the Jews. ...

Syrian Refugees Are More Important Than a Few American Deaths.
If a million Syrian refugees immigrate and 100 of them become terrorists who kill a thousand Americans that still leaves close to a million new Americans. A million good new citizens to compensate for the thousand old ones that get killed.
Think of what is happening. By a million Syrians being kept out, that is like a million potential American patriots being killed.
For keeping them out keeps them from becoming the good Americans that we desperately need.
All Syrian refugees have recently been suspended indefinitely by Trump's decree.

The Prophecy by the American Indians Will Come True
The white man broke like every treaty he made wth the Indians.
He waged wars against them,driving them off their lands, over and over again.
But Indian holy men (shamans) claimed that the Great Spirit told them that the whites would be paid back some day for what they did.
Yes. here we are making treaty after treaty after worthless treaty with Russia which has broken every one of them.
Yes. it's sort of appropriate that when we get deprived of our wealth in the form of our big cities -- via nuclear war(Russian Attack), it will be people known as the Reds who do...
