Everyone hurry...before Zie Germans get here!
Conspiracy abounds...I heard on the wire today that Fiji is covertly planning on drilling to the other-side of the globe to relocate its island there...thus disturbing the axis of the earth in such a way that all the polar bears invade the U.S. and establish an iron-fisted rule with reindeer as SS-like foot soldiers. This will- no doubt- usher in the One World System. And yes, they will have laser's attached to their antlers. So far today I've read of no less than 6 conspiracy theories...and none of them were in the least compatible. So unless anyone has a parallel universe conspiracy theory handy- we have ourselves a rather serious math problem to deal with here. 1 Truth and 6 theories; and that's just a drop in the Ocean that is Conspiracy.
The problem with all these 2000 yrs of end times conspiracy theories is that when they DONT come to pass, it shows they are not from G-d. And it helps slay the souls of the little children because they then think all of Christianity is bogus and reserved for the mentally ill!
Who would want to take part in defaming G-d like that? Who would want to take part in making the outstretched arms of our LORD, seem as the gesture of a madman?
In Revelation, John was asked "what is the meaning of this?" what did John answer? He said "Thou knowest."
G-d's Word is Holy and True to the last jot and tilde. Bogus conspiracy theories, false prophesies, and those who so readily lust after and propagate them are wholly harmful to G-d, Christ, the Holy Spirit...and ALL His children. I encourage everyone to reread Job starting at chapter 38 WHERE THE LORD SPEAKS... as I too will. After chapter upon chapter of Job's "buddies" preaching smooth sounding jibberish to him the LORD had enough!
38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2 Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Job 38:4 ¶ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb? --------------------------------------------
Satan was a liar since the beginning- and the father of liars. "Surely you will not die." Isn't there a commandment about taking false-witness? Doesn't it say liars DO NOT inherit eternal life? What about false prophets? I remember Christ saying something rather uncomfortable would happen to those who lead the little ones astray... If you're willing to stake your eternal salvation on your prophesy, by all means...happy sailing. But, know the stakes folks. This is no-limit poker your playing and you're going all in...by saying this is what WILL HAPPEN! A "maybe" or a "perhaps" -perhaps could be the difference between playin another hand and living eternity in the streets. (see how i did that). If you are humble enought to tell the children to take it with a grain of salt- they likely will, and if it fails you defame yourself...and not G-d.
Hmmmm, seems like propagating the fiji conspiracy might not be in my best interest after- all.
Want to give good counsel and advice? Repent, watch, and live not by bread alone- but by EVERY WORD OF G-d. Watch. Watch. Watch. Dont miss the thief because you were expecting a polar bear. Watch.
"Could you not watch one hour with Me?" MT 26:40
Sincerely- Conspiracies-R-Us GBY! sabrefire

Rhonda you hit the nail square...there. I'd never say Thus Saith the LORD unless I was quoting scripture! EVER! Here's why... If the words do come out of a person, it SHOULDN'T be them speaking at all...but the H.S.(blessed is He)! Thus the purpose. That's a perfect example of going all in! The wages just might be spiritual death. That's a game I want NO part of. If they EVER do come out of my mouth- which they have not...I pray with everything I have that they are NOT MY WORDS BUT THE HOLY SPIRITS...it's my opinion all should do the same.

I never really "got" that G-d thing. I think more respect would be shown to flat out write HIS whole name. He's been ripped apart forever - dontcha think. I'd like to keep HIM whole in ALL ways.
And that's just my 2 cents worth and my very humble opinion and the way I think.
Everyone is entitled to show respect how they feel. Just sharing how I feel about that whole incomplete spelling thingy.
Oh and on that whole shaved, smoothed, spiffy, shiny baby's butt thing. I think that look is fabulous. Love it!
Sin is sin. Careful what comes across your lips & out your finger tips!!!
We are all the Body of Christ. Let's treat each other as such, with the same respect we give to HIM!!
Relationship advice: DO NOT make someone a PRIORITY, when they ONLY make you an OPTION!!
A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to seek HIM in order to find her!!

Well first I'd point out, G-d's name is not "God." And by not spelling it out that is partially a proactive response to the idea that his name and office have been used in vain. And to do so is indeed a sin. If in conjecture about G-d, I write "G-d" how can that defame Him? If I write it out and say He is this, He is that...and I AM WRONG...that does defame HIM and ME. My words are corrupt the Word is not, there is a difference and in writing "G-d" is a tool in expressing that. His actual name which is found in the Hebrew manuscripts and consists of 4 letters- is NOT to be taken in vain...as commandment shows. If I conjecture wrongly about Him and use his Holy name...that would be defamation and sin...so I dissent. There is nothing man can do to divide G-d anyway, but we can defame Him to His other children. But, thanks for the opinion and the compliment on the spiffy-ness! I hope I was able to explain my position while respecting yours. I know you must be a great and lovely person...you're convicted as such, by association- with my brother Brad! Gby!

Isa 63:8 For he said, Surely they are My People, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour
EZEKIEL 21:29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
The Word is sword. It cuts both ways. It has said 'Behold I have foretold you all things.'EZEKIEL 21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
EZEKIEL 21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
EZEKIEL 21:11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

RISE UP CHURCH!!!! JESUS IS COMING!!!!
The conspiracy was revealed 2000 yrs ago. The blue print of the end is available for all who seek to find it. It's the Word. Millions martyred, tortured and exiled so we could have it. False prophesy diverts attention from the True Word. It diverts children from the hand's of Our Lord. It's as Peter was when walking on the water on his way to Jesus- and diverted his eyes from Christ...and he began to sink. If our eyes are solely on Him in the heavens above we are promised to be delivered. I trust in it. He said "come to Me." As you know Christ "is the living WORD." That is the true essence of prophesy, sabbath(rest), and resurrection(eternal). I have little interest in partaking in the "eating each other alive," thing...it serves no purpose. I'm not advocating that here...only that people do less trumpeting and more watching and reading the Word. Satan has no power over a man unless the Lord allows it. The Lord will keep His people and their is no need for anyone attempting to exact out some new prophesy...in an attempt to outsmart the devil. Christ the Messiah is the Light of the world, and to those who are in Him, and those whom He is found in...the Lord will illuminate the seasons and times as plan as night day- summer vs winter. However there will be two-witnesses in the future-and there will be no mistaking them... as they have GREAT powers from heaven... GBY, sabrefire

Exactly Robin! Our walk with the Lord is established by our understanding and seeking the Word. As in... In the begining was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Christ is the Living Word. The Alpha and Omega. Even when the sun is taken away He will be our Light. What more would we need?!?

That's good of you. Although did you know "God" or "G-d" is not a name, but actually a title/position?
When He said to not take His name in vain, the name listed is "YHWH" and/or more modernly "Jesus"/"Yashua"/etc. And the context insinuation is such that referring to Him/"Her"/"It" (heh) in any way that goes against His character and against His pronouncements, etc, is what is meant by the word "vain" ("useless"/"worthless"). But at least you care enough to try in your own way! 
By the way, I have some conspiracy theories and I also have some conspiracy beliefs but I do not make day/evening/night and time of the day predictions on any of them UNLESS God will ever tell me exactly what those are (and if I'm listening then...heh).
Besides if He did not tell me and I still expressed it, it would only be speculation and therefore not deserving of calling it a prediction/prophecy. (that would then be using His name in vain)

Merlin I addressed this earlier in this same thread without being asked. Ill quote myself... "Well first I'd point out, G-d's name is not "God." And by not spelling it out that is partially a proactive response to the idea that his name and office have been used in vain. And to do so is indeed a sin. If in conjecture about G-d, I write "G-d" how can that defame Him? If I write it out and say He is this, He is that...and I AM WRONG...that does defame HIM and ME.

If I conjecture wrongly about Him and use his Holy name...that would be defamation and sin...so I dissent. There is nothing man can do to divide G-d anyway, but we can defame Him to His other children."
And this is NOT my own way- Jewish people have done it for ages. Infact by Jewish law it is prohibited to destroy the Sacred Name once written. For some this means mechanical shredding OR defaming it. Type in "G-d" in your google browser and see what you get.
My concern is with using the title OR the sacred name in reflections on a blog. But again it's not just something I pulled out of a hat.
It's not about sin, it's about MY OWN personal respect for my G-d. sabrefire

Quoting sabrefire45 : Merlin I addressed this earlier in this same thread without being asked. Ill quote myself... "Well first I'd point out, G-d's name is not "God." And by not spelling it out that is partially a proactive response to the idea that his name and office have been used in vain. And to do so is indeed a sin. If in conjecture about G-d, I write "G-d" how can that defame Him? If I write it out and say He is this, He is that...and I AM WRONG...that does defame HIM and ME. My words are corrupt the Word is not, there is a difference and in writing "G-d" is a tool in expressing that. His actual name which is found in the Hebrew manuscripts and consists of 4 letters- is NOT to be taken in vain...as commandment shows. If I conjecture wrongly about Him and use his Holy name...that would be defamation and sin...so I dissent. There is nothing man can do to divide G-d anyway, but we can defame Him to His other children."
And this is NOT my own way- Jewish people have done it for ages. Infact by Jewish law it is prohibited to destroy the Sacred Name once written. For some this means mechanical shredding OR defaming it. Type in "G-d" in your google browser and see what you get.
My concern is with using the title OR the sacred name in reflections on a blog. But again it's not just something I pulled out of a hat.
It's not about sin, it's about MY OWN personal respect for my G-d. sabrefire
I was being nice. What you're accusing me of is false. Who has clouded your better judgement otherwise?
Please reread my WHOLE post: That's good of you.

But at least you care enough to try in your own way!

Im not accusing you of anything Merlin, what are you thinking? I said "And asking whether or not I know the name of G-d is/isn't "G-d" is taken by me as condescending. " There's no accusation Merlin. I said I take what you said as condescending, point blank. That's what it means. Are you suggesting what I'm saying I feel- is false? If I didn't know the name of G-d that wouldn't make me much of a student or teacher of G-d's Word...would it? I find that a troubling suggestion. Where's the "accusation?" I read your whole comment and I found it condescending.

Feelings aren't false. Why those feelings are there might be.
I apologize if my original post in here may have swayed you to incorrectly believing that I figured you didn't know the name of God. I knew you did. But I had no idea if you knew the history of why He made that commandment and how many Jewish religious leaders responded to it. That was my point. I was not trying to say that you were being foolish (like them) in how to respond to His commandment. Please forgive me if I said anything that warranted you thinking that incorrect thought about me.
Yashua Shalom?

Merlin~ if this was an honest misunderstanding than let us forget it and not mention it again. Yes, I bid shalom. I accept your apology- and I agree. Maybe it's a cultural thing...I dunno.  take care, sabrefire

Let me bring this post back on topic by saying that personally I believe there IS a conspiracy in operation which is preparing the world for the One World Government and One World Religion of the AntiChrist and False Prophet as described in Revelation 13. The strands in this conspiracy are clear to see in the world around us:
1. Globalisation of the world economy i.e. nations being forced to become less and less self-sufficient in economic terms so that the whole world 'knits together' as one huge economy.
2. The increased importance being placed on 'global warming' and 'saving the environment' which demands a united world response. {I am not saying all of the reasons given for this are false, just that they are being used as an excuse for imposing measures that have the effect of controlling citizens' behaviour}.
3. The spectre of global terrorism being ever placed before us {again I am not saying there is no threat but that many governments are using the 'terrorist threat' as an excuse for passing laws that infringe individual liberty}.
4. The move for worldwide unity not only among Christian denominations but also between ALL religions in the world {and its ally 'political correctness' which makes it increasingly difficult to make any assertion that some things are 'right' and others are 'wrong'}.
It was through reading the books of the New Zealander the late Barry Smith that I became alerted to many of these things. Since waking up to what is happening it is very clear that this New World Order conspiracy is not a theory but a very widespread reality indeed. Certainly I do not believe every 'crackpot' story that I hear but the overall trend of world developments is very obviously in this direction.

Well it's not much of a conspiracy if it was written of in Rev 13...2000 yrs ago as you pointed out. One would have to be spiritually blind (probably physically blind too) to not see these things unfolding. Globalization and terror and the like, are actual physical issues that academia -outside the sphere of religion debate and study everyday- on virtually every college campus. And as you said they are clear to see around us... The only conspiracy I see is who people believe is behind it. If you know the Word you should know the Truth, that is if you're gifted ears to hear...and eyes to see.

I quite agree that those of us who know the truth know all about the conspiracy, and who is behind it. The problem is that almost no-one in the world, Christians included, actually believes the warnings about Anti Christ that are contained in the Bible.
Satan is an arch deceiver and has got the whole world involved in his conspiracy, although most of those involved don't realise it and are themselves deceived. He has all the authorities and experts in the fields of economics, politics, religion, science, humanitarianism {and whatever else you can think of} dancing to his merry tune and walking blindly into a trap.
As Christians we are of course aware that Satan can do nothing unless God allows it, that God remains in control, and that the Anti Christ's reign will be short and ended by the return of Jesus Christ. But in being aware of what is happening we will be ready for what is to come and be well placed to be God's agents of rescue to many in the troubles ahead.

This brother is on point. The Bible is full of prophecy and signs of the end times, which began in May 1948 when Joel 3:1 was fulfilled.

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
A group of people working with one mind, in one accord, planning to purposely turn over their power to one person who happens to be a servant of the enemy. Sounds like a satanic conspiracy to me.
There are MANY people who don't believe in the possibility of the One World government, religion and economy which the Bible prophesies. And Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 to watch and look for the signs so we know that His Return is near. So I am all for discussing them and letting other believers know. We are obeying our Savior and Master when we do so. And furthermore, so we won't be deceived.

I have no doubt that the Bible is accurate when it speaks of all these things regarding the end times as stated in the book of Revelations. What I am not sure of and what I find confusing are all the different interpretations that people have these days of those visions that John had and wrote about while in exile upon the isle of Patmos... no one knows the hour or the day- no one is supposed to know. That's why we are instructed to be faithful, to watch, wait and be ready.
There are so many fear mongers in the religious world who will say any number of things to draw attention to themselves regarding these things... I think those people suck! I am not 100% convinced that these are the end times. Things are bad but things have been bad before... I saw much of the economical stuff that happened in the 70's that's happening now... there has always been famine and disaster- none of this is new.
It may be the end of the world as we know it but I don't know if that means this is the literal end of the world. I know we can trust God regardless of all the conspiracy theories and He has instructed me over and over again to "fear not". If this is the end my friend... even so come quickly Lord Jesus

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's missile test this week demonstrated no new capabilities, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence, and the test may not have included one of the longer-range missiles that Iran said was among those launched.
Iranian officials said the tests Wednesday and Thursday demonstrated a new variant of the Shahab missile with a range of 1,250 miles (2,012 kilometers). Such a missile would put much of the Middle East in striking distance, including Israel, 650 miles (1,045 km) from Iran, as well as Turkey, Pakistan and the Arabian peninsula.
The tests drew immediate criticism from U.S. officials. In Eastern Europe when the launches occurred, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the missile tests underscored the need for a U.S. defensive missile system in the region.
But an independent national security blog, ArmsControlWonk.com, analyzed on Thursday video footage of the launch posted by the Iranian government. It determined the missiles were identical to a version of the Shahab missile first demonstrated in Iran in 1998 that has a known range of 746 miles (1,200 km).
In a posting called "Same old Boring Shahab 3," it compared the diameter of the missile to its length and found it to be identical to the 1998 version.
Watch.
