David Cameron has remarked that the United Kingdom will legalize homosexual and lesbian ‘marriage’ despite receiving scathing criticism from former Archbishop Lord Carey over the plans. The Archbishop has set up an organization, the Coalition for Marriage, to protest against the government’s proposals. The former Labour government introduced the Civil Partnership Act in 2005, enabling homosexuals to have their relationships officially recognised in law for the first time. It was intended only as a legal alternative to marriage in the traditional sense, which was still legally defined as a union between one man and one woman. In January 2007 the Sexual Orientation Regulations legislation was brought in, making it illegal for anyone to discriminate against a person based on their sexual orientation. The law has been used by homosexual activist organizations such as Stonewall to persecute Christian business owners who happen to disagree with their choice of lifestyle. And in October 2010, the Equalities Bill was signed into law.

The Iliad and the Odyssey of the unknown Homer–the many tragedies that spun from Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and other of the ancient Greek playwrights–are but shadowy scripts of insignificance in the end-times stage lights that illuminate our headlines hourly these days. Gripping reality in the land that gave us the stories of the likes of Oedipus, Agamemnon, Prometheus, and, of course, of Zeus, Aphrodite, Hercules, and all that make up the Greek fictional accounts present movement toward tragedy with a far more bitter ending than any in mythology.
It is not tragedy for the Greeks alone of which I write. The stage is set to bring the whole world to the prophetic destiny laid out in Bible prophecy. When considering the roots of the continent of Europe, most first think of Italy or the center of that great empire, the city of Rome. The other state that most often comes to mind when thinking on where Europe began is Greece and its ancient center, Athens.

The lefties in the American Church never take a day off from denigrating Bible-believing Christians.
I’ve been writing more and more about this, because while we obsess about Iran’s intentions with regard to Israel, the hippies are back, and their dissing of the Bible prophecy crowd has a direct impact on support for Israel—which, I am sad to say, I believe is slipping. I sincerely believe the emerging threat to Israel—from within American evangelicalism—is more dangerous to Israel than the psychos in Tehran.
You see, when groups like Catalyst bring folks such as Jim Wallis, Brian McLaren, and Phileena Heuertz (yoga is beautiful) to mainstream evangelicalism, it’s only a matter of time before the knives come out for the Jewish state.

As of late, I have been noticing a very disturbing situation going on. As I am usually writing or talking about the “Nearness of the Rapture” and “The Salvation through Jesus Christ”, I find that most are saying things like “Your Right” or maybe “You really have something there”! Obviously, these statements are not disturbing and for a while some will tell me, I’m doing a good job. Others smile and walk away, endeavoring to continue their daily lives, as they have done for a while, don’t want any sort of “bumps in the road”. What IS disturbing…no one seems to be doing anything, about what they have heard! I have written these things in other Blogs or articles, I have told others of what is happening and now it seems they are tired of hearing this! They show no sign that they have Looked to the Lord, or that they are even thinking about these things, much less giving their lives to Jesus!

Maryland’s proposed Civil Marriage Protection Act, which would legalize same-sex "marriage," is not about tolerance.
It’s about using the law to force people to recognize a counterfeit as the real thing. In fact, it should more accurately be called the Attack on Religious Freedom Enabling Act.
That’s because this is about more than the feelings of any two people. When you declare a couple "married," with the force of the law behind it, you bring everyone into it.
A brideless or groomless couple is not merely an addition to the marriage definition; it violates the very essence of marriage by excluding one or the other complementary sex.

In 1979, the Eagles rock band released their most successful album, "Hotel California." When the title song became a huge success, evangelical Christians began wondering if the "Hotel California" referred to a San Francisco hotel purchased by Anton LaVey and converted into the Church of Satan. LaVey’s hotel was located on California Street.
Over the years, the members of Eagles strongly denied any connection to satanism. However, many of their explanations conflicted with each other. The Eagles’ manager, Larry Salter, spilled the beans in a February 28, 1982, Waco Tribune-Herald interview in which he admitted that the Eagles were involved with the church of Satan.
There are several clues in the lyrics of Hotel California that point to the dark side: "I was thinking to myself/this could be heaven or this could be hell," and "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" are two that stand out. But the most chilling verses are the ones that end the song:

Israeli officials accused Iran and its terrorist-proxy, Hizbullah, of masterminding an attack which left an Israeli diplomat’s wife critically injured. The blast occurred as she travelled to pick up her children at a school in New Dehli, India this morning. A second attack in Tblisi, Georgia was thwarted after an Israeli diplomat discovered a device attached to his car. The Iranian government denied orchestrating out the attacks, instead accusing Israel of bombing their own embassies in order to further the ‘psychological war’ against Tehran…
“This accusation is within the Zionist regime’s psychological war against Iran,” the official IRNA news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast as saying. “The Zionist regime, due to repeated crimes against humanity, is the main party accused of terrorist activities,” he said, according to IRNA.
