LaVrai – The Truth

In a previous post, I highlighted a video (audio really) from an April 2005 event Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren held for his congregation. In the video, Mr. Warren calls on Christians to be as dedicated to Christ (presumably, he’s talking about Christ) as Nazi youth were to Hitler. Yes, the same Hitler, who undoubtedly served Satan. The same Hitler who killed millions of people because they were Jews (just like Satan has ALWAYS targeted the Jews, as he still does to this day) — this is the standard Warren holds up in the video. He also champions Mao’s ability to capture the Chinese youth’s fanatical dedication. If only Christians could get that crazed, Warren essentially waxes, there would be nothing in our way of conquering the globe and eradicating poverty and shoving peace down everyone’s throat (nevermind that Christ Jesus says there will be wars and rumors of wars; that the poor will be with us always; and that HE is the true PRINCE OF PEACE).

Here’s the video again. And also this link to a prophecy a sister published on her site on March 20, 2008. In addition, there is also an article excerpt which reveals Warren’s real drive and purpose in all of the work he’s doing. It all begs the obvious question: does Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren serve Jesus the Christ or does Warren serve the ruler of this world, Satan?

Anyway, this one particular article echoes the prophecy:

“During his Anaheim stadium speech Warren, sometimes called ‘pastor Rick’ talked about a number of visions and communications he had received from God. By calling on his church members to follow Jesus with the fanatical dedication with which the Nazis, or Hitler Youth, gave to Adolf Hitler, Rick Warren appeared to be in effect asking his Saddleback members to be fanatically dedicated to Warren’s own leadership, given his role in divining God’s intent for the Saddleback church flock. During his speech, Rick Warren also explained that God had personally instructed him to seek, for the good of the world, more influence, power and fame.”

…During his Anaheim speech, Warren revealed that he’d received a message from God to seek more influence, power and fame. God, Warren narrated, led him to Psalm 72, “Solomon’s prayer for more influence… in Psalm 72 [Solomon] says ‘God, I want you to make me more influential. God, I want you to give me more power. I want you to bless my life more. God, I want you to spread the fame of my name through other countries.’”

“It sounded pretty selfish,” mused Warren but, as he explained to the crowd, God had led him on a path towards solving the five biggest global problems.

Beyond ‘spiritual poverty’, egocentric leadership is the next most oppressive ‘global giant’, according to Rick Warren, and thus a higher priority than HIV/AIDS, poverty, and other material afflictions. “The world is full of little Saddams,” he observed, “they’re in every country, they’re in every church, they’re in every business, they’re in every homeowner’s association. They’re everywhere. You give a guy a little power and it goes to his head. “

Besides sounding like a fanatical cult leader (um, like Hitler and Mao), Warren lies (or is mistaken?) about the Scripture. Please read Psalm 72. Solomon is not asking anything for himself. HE is declaring, through inspiration of GOD’s Holy Spirit, the divine rule of the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDs Christ Jesus: 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth. 9 Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust. 10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will offer gifts. 11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him.

Please tell me where in the Holy Bible the LORD our GOD encourages HIS people to seek power and fame? Not even Christ Jesus came into the world as HE IS — the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS. And doesn’t Christ Jesus say seek ye first the Kingdom and all of these things (our needs and desires) will be added to us by the LORD our GOD? But who encourages mankind always to seek such worldly things?

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”

The Devil sure is very busy nowadays, but I thank the LORD our GOD that we are not all deceived and seeking after things that have NOTHING to do with the Great Commission — telling the world about Salvation in Jesus Christ. Has anyone found how that fits into Warren’s P.E.A.C.E. Plan?

Gog and Allies Attack Israel

1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops-many people are with you.

7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.” Read the rest of this entry »

I wonder why this particular embassy is so important to warrant a $700 million overhaul? This is definitely an anchor that shows the U.S. is not leaving Baghdad and going anywhere … Notice that this “embassy” and “compound” is referred to as a “palace.” It’s larger than the Vatican and the U.N. building in New York City, according to this article, which also offers this excerpt:

“The presence of a massive U.S. embassy – by far the largest in the world – co-located in the Green Zone with the Iraqi government is seen by Iraqis as an indication of who actually exercises power in their country,” the International Crisis Group, a European-based research group, said in 2006.

“The idea of an embassy this huge, this costly, and this isolated from events taking place outside its walls is not necessarily a cause for celebration,” architectural historian Jane Loeffler wrote in Foreign Affairs in 2007.

“Traditionally, at least, embassies were designed to further interaction with the community in which they were built,” she wrote. “Although the U.S. Government regularly proclaims confidence in Iraq’s democratic future, the U.S. has designed an embassy that conveys no confidence in Iraqis and little hope for their future. Instead, the U.S. has built a fortress capable of sustaining a massive, long-term presence in the face of continued violence.” (Read the rest of the article here…)

Video from CNN:

OK. The “beast” part is mine. Mr. Robertson actually said socialism — in his predictions for 2009 (which I would take with a grain or two or three of salt). Why I point out this particular story is because, Mr. Robertson unwittingly (as the high priest Caiaphas predicted that Jesus would die for the people) is prophesying how and why Americans will embrace the beast economic system. This “turnaround” Mr. Robertson predicts will be that false assurance of peace. All of this leaves me questioning… does no one see it coming? I guess Mr. Robertson is too busy being “remarkably pleased” with Obama.

Here’s a story excerpt, with a video from the 700 Club with hosts discussing these predictions (I haven’t watched the whole thing yet, but wanted to share).

Citing information he says is from God, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said Friday that America is headed for veritable socialism as well as an economic rebound under President-elect Barack Obama in 2009. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, this is a joke but, uh, it’s hardly funny. I find it more disturbing than anything. A reporter decided to do Obama’s rise to fame like a Biblical telling, in the vein of Moses and Jesus’ lives. Shockingly, this video and/or story was posted on July 25, 2008. I don’t know how I missed it then.

Here’s the video, and an article excerpt afterward.

He ventured forth to bring light to the world

The anointed one’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action – and a blessing to all his faithful followers

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

Yes, it may be a joke. But it’s a rather dangerous “joke” considering some apparently do believe Obama is some sort of savior. I wish I was joking, but try some of these Related Posts below to see what I mean…
