1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing

MYSTERY OBJECT TO HIT EARTH ON FRIDAY THE 13TH

Clinton’s debate performance leaves trail of fodder for political adversaries

There is No “Radical Islam” and There is Also No “Moderate Islam”
Permit me to raise some doubts concerning the psychological mindset that claims the existence of two types of Islam. In order to do this, let us clarify an important point: Islam is a text-based framework of ideas and behaviors, covering religion, culture, strictures, politics, law and economics.

There are no two Islams, no moderate one and no radical one, there is just one Qu’ran that includes everything: verses on Jihad and all out war against unbelievers ...

Re: Rapture Ready News - November 2015

Obama speech in Turkey: We’re not changing our strategy on ISIS because it’s working, you know
If you want to try to make sense of this, knock yourself out: U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday ruled out a shift in strategy in the fight against the Islamic State despite the deadly attacks in Paris last week, saying putting U.S. troops on the ground to combat the group “would be a mistake.”

Why Islam is a Religion of War
"He it is who has sent His Messenger (Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions even though the infidels may resist.” Koran 61:9 Islamic violence is a religious problem. Islam derives meaning from physical supremacy, so war becomes an act of faith. To believe in Islam, is to have faith that it will conquer the entire world. And to be a true Muslim, is to feel called to aid in that global conquest, whether by providing money to the Jihadists or to become a Jihadist.

Obama, Immigration, and the Courts
Among the trademarks of the presidency of Barack Obama is his willingness to ignore the rule of law, and trample upon the dynamics of the American System. He is a dictator that is more than willing to go on his own to make sure his will be done. The Constitution is a mere obstacle to Mr. Obama, rather than the law of the land. He understands the Constitution, but he does not like it, so he circumvents the founding document at every opportunity.

The Barack Obama/Vladimir Putin G-20 Show
Barack Obama, David Cameron, Angela Merkel and other G-20 chess board players seem glaringly unaware that their so-called “rival” Vladimir Putin surfs the net for information like the rest of us do. The coddled, globe-trotting G-20 players, who are now portraying themselves as ready to stick it to the murderous Islamic State, are the one and the same who let the barbarians in through the gates of their own home nations.

The Religion of Peace: Another Big Lie
“Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it…have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth…. Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind.”—John Wesley (1703-1791) Methodist leader.

Administration which said ISIS was ‘contained’ hours before Paris attack says it’s ‘not likely’ they
Nine hours before the attacks in Paris, President Obama had this to say about the “J.V. team:” (Video below) After the attacks, Obama’s people went into damage control mode. They clarified that the President meant that ISIS had been “geographically contained” after a rapid expansion during the time the Obama Administration was busy pretending they posed no threat. That may be a fair distinction, but it’s also a worthless one. The problem, of course, is that an outfit like ISIS doesn’t really rely on simple geographic boundaries.

Obama, Congress heading for budget showdown over Syrian refugees
WASHINGTON - Some U.S. Republicans sought to use a must-pass spending bill on Monday to block President Barack Obama's plan to accept thousands of Syrian refugees, saying the Paris attacks had proven they pose too much of a threat to the United States.

Islamic State threatens attack on Washington, other countries

French reporter to Obama: Isn't it time to change your ISIS strategy?

ISIL claimed responsibility for the massacre," he said, using an acronym for the group also known as the Islamic State or ISIS. "The equation has clearly changed. Isn't it time for your strategy to change?" the reporter asked.

J'accuse Obama
Historically, the President of the United States wears the title “leader of the free world.” Obama, in his presidency, has relinquished that role almost gleefully. As a result, the world is a far more dangerous place. Obama is the personification of leftist progressive ideology totally out of step with harsh reality. It is a faulted policy of denial, of cover up.

Thankfully, the newly released hostages arrived safely at the local town of Tel Tamar.

Obama Pushes France into Putin’s Arms
President Obama’s deliberately defeatist foreign policy has scored another major victory for Russia. He has pushed NATO member France and its weak socialist president into the arms of Russia’s Vladimir Putin. It may be that François Hollande felt that he had no alternative to deal with the international terrorist networks that have targeted his country and were begun decades ago by the old Soviet Union.

Russian foreign minister: Obama wants to spare ISIS so they can force Assad out in Syria
If we’re going to quote Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov - and we are - this is probably as good a time as any to remember that everyone who takes a shot at Barack Obama is not necessarily someone we should admire or trust. The Russians may be pleasing conservatives at the moment by showing Obama up, but they still have a geopolitical agenda that would prop up some of the worst characters on the face of the Earth for the sake of Russia’s own influence and power, and of Vladimir Putin’s personally.

Clothes-free Emperor.If you’re among those who think that the blanket acceptance of Syrian refugees might not be the brightest idea, congratulations, you’ve managed to “pop off” in such a way that you’ve upset President Obama.

Why is he saying that?” Even former President Carter, the weakest president of the twentieth century, has said “Obama is inept.” Does Obama live in his own little world?

The American Left Hates Americans More Than They Hate ISIS
The President of the United States has taken the tacit of claiming it is all political.

Contrary to Obama claim, US has history of admitting refugees based on faith
Immigration experts give President Obama Pinocchios for his claim that the U.S. has never used “religious tests” to determine which refugees get passage to America. Russian and Ethiopian Jews, Armenians Christians and Catholics from Vietnam have all been moved to the front of the line in previous eras based on their faith, according to historians. And giving one religious group preference is tantamount to sending others to the back of the lines.

U.S. Republicans, defying Obama, propose tightening Syrian refugee screening
House Republican lawmakers defied President Barack Obama on Wednesday and laid out plans to tighten screening of Syrian refugees after the Paris attacks, in a political fight that challenges the U.S. view of itself as a refuge for downtrodden immigrants.
