A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers. The study found a steady rise in those claiming no religious affiliation. The team's mathematical model attempts to account for the interplay between the number of religious respondents and the social motives behind being one. The result, reported at the American Physical Society meeting in Dallas, US, indicates that religion will all but die out altogether in...
"... that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;" - Deut 28:58. In the Hebrew understanding, a name was more than just the label that identified a person. A name represented that person. It described him. In Genesis 17:5, God changed Abram's name to Abraham, which means "father of a multitude." Solomon's name means, "His peace," the name God gave him before he was born: "Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall...
When a 9.0 earthquake hit Japan 11 days ago, the whole world stood in dismay. The devastation has been readily covered by major news outlets every day since, and the millions of people immediately affected by the earthquake and resulting tsunami have wrung hearts of compassion around the world. The magnitude of the March 11 Tōhoku earthquake defies comprehension. In 1989, the "World Series" Loma Prieta earthquake killed 63 people and left...
BRUSSELS – Europe's debt market jitters flared up again Wednesday as investors worried about the near-term fates of Portugal and Ireland, an ill omen on the eve of a summit where EU leaders plan to complete their crisis-fighting plan. Investors doubt the two countries, embroiled in financial crises that have created political shockwaves, will be able to cut their borrowing loads through austerity measures alone, meaning Europe's debt crisis will likely get worse before it...
Psalm 83 describes a continuing conflict between Israel and its neighbors which climaxes with a final victory for Israel over its adversaries. It is a prayer in which Israel pleads for deliverance from a group of nations that are in union for the singular purpose of destroying her.1 Events over the past year have brought this Psalm into focus and make the prophecy contained in the Psalm seem all too real. Everything that the experts say and everything that the activists...
In July 2006, the liberal leaning Brookings Institute downplayed the signing of a mutual defense pact between Iran and Syria saying that Iran was unlikely to equip Syria with advanced hardware. But three recent events should be a prophetic warning to the watchmen of the end times. In February, Iranian warships passed through the Suez Canal destined for Syria, where a naval defense agreement was signed. On March 16, Israel seized a cargo ship from Iran and...
In 1990, the band Milli Vanilli was awarded a Grammy for Best New Artist. They were quite successful in their day, selling millions of albums. But then it was revealed that they did not do the vocals on their own recordings. Some studio singers had done that. Their Grammy was returned. There came a moment when Milli Vanilli had to face the music. And there will come a day when everyone will have to face the music as well. There are some who are putting on...
World events are startling! Watching the Middle East, Japan, Australia, Europe, and a meltdown in America, have prompted some healthy discussions on the last days. When events happen at such a rapid pace, it is wise to ask, "What on Earth is happening?" Those who could care less are likely drowning in some kind of destructive behavior because they, too, notice but cannot cope. Who can we trust with answers? Most turn first to their pastors. Some provide...
March 24, 2011. Srinagar - At a time when at-least two humans have recently died and around 10,000 were bitten by rabid dogs, the animal rights activist are out to defend the stray packs against any actions aimed to harm “interests of the stray canines." This pro-dog move is feared to further the menace, which has assumed alarming proportions in Kashmir with over 100,000 dogs and growing dogs on prowl in the city alone. From shooting apparent hate mail, to...
In the prophetic book of Revelation, the apostle John was reporting visions of the end times. In one part of the cryptic prophecy he saw what appeared to be a “mountain” on fire that was “cast into the sea”. It then looked like the water became thick and reddish, with the appearance of the blood of a dead man. By the time it was over, one third of the sea was polluted and one third of the wildlife was killed. read more...
The headlines around the world are spinning fast with prophetic significance. Iran is sending so-called "humanitarian relief" ships to Gaza. While the government there says it is not intending to pick a fight with Israel, actions speak louder than words. Saudi Arabia, according to US Defense Department officials, has given Israel clearance to Saudi airspace in the event Israel wants to bomb Iran. It is reported that the United States, at the read more...
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. read more...
There’s a not-so-new “emerging movement” literally exploding onto the scene. It claims to be Christian yet shows clear-cut signs of dancing to a different tune. As you listen to the purveyors of this “New Christianity” you very quickly come to realize they are all about themselves. As a matter of fact you can listen to them for quite awhile before you ever hear the name of Jesus mentioned, and even then it’s only in a fleeting comment. read more...
Rumors of war between Israel and Iran suggest the Middle East is on the verge of going apocalyptic. Rapidly deteriorating relationships between the Obama administration and the Netanyahu led government recently caused U.S. Mideast peace envoy George Mitchell to threaten freezing future American aid to Israel. read more...
The Kingdom Now movement is gathering a following very quickly now. And Dominion Theology is conscripting an army of Utopian Christians, many of whom are quite sincere but do not know the Holy Scriptures and live on the carnal side of their nature. In all their political busy-ness and their running after charismatic religious personalities and men they are willing to call 'apostles' and 'prophets' they are just not reading their Bibles. read more...
