Abe Lincoln - Proclamation

Did you know that it was Abe Lincoln who instituted the last
Thursday of the month of November for Thanksgiving? ??

Abe Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation
It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence
upon the over-ruling power of God; to confess their sins and
transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine
repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the
sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all
history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord. We
know that by His divine law, nations, like individuals, are
subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world. May we not
justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates
the land. May be a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous
sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole
people. We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of
heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and
prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other
nation has ever grown. But, we have forgotten God. We have forgotten
the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and
enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the
deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced
by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient
to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud
to pray to the God that made us. It has seemed to me fit and proper
that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged,
as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people.
I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens in every part of the
United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are
sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last
Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to
our beneficient Father who dwelleth in the heavens.

A. Lincoln

The  Anti-Christ____



November 21,  2009
666
The scriptural mystery surrounding  the number 666 has always been a hot
topic where the untangling of end  time prophecy is concerned. The most widely
known and obvious connection  is the fact that the anti-Christ will be
inextricably identified with its  numerical significance.  
As with many prophesies, those who  accept the mark of the Beast will not
become aware of that significance  until this satanic inevitability has been
thrust upon them. Then, and only  then, will the full implication of his
number assignment be fully realized  by those who were left behind, but who
also had a peripheral-to-working  knowledge of end time prophecy  fulfillment.
Is it important to our studying of  scripture that we delve as deeply into
the 666 mystery as possible?  Absolutely, because, as Godâ€s watchmen, our
ministerial responsibility  towards this generation demands that we offer to
it as much evidence as  possible in support of the fact that this, indeed, is
the last generation  to walk the planet before the Second Coming of Jesus  
Christ.
Saw It  Coming
Decades ago, eschatologists  discovered that a super computer was being
developed in Europe that would  be the heart of a system designed to keep track
of every man, woman and  child on planet earth. It would be no stretch of
the imagination to assume  a number would be assigned to those whose
identifications would be plugged  into the program that operates this  computer.
Not surprisingly, little has been  said or written about it in the
mainstream media, a fact that should not  be taken lightly where the specter of ‘new
world order†conspiracy  theories are concerned.
For instance, did you know that,  even as you read this piece, the wheels
of international diplomacy and  cooperation are motioning towards a treaty
that would completely overturn  our Constitutional right to bear arms? Thatâ€s
right; our current President  has been seriously acquiescing to a worldwide
policy that would make it a  crime for civilians to own any kind of  
firearm.
Why hasnâ€t the media covered THAT  story to the extent that it has the
swine flue ‘pandemic?†Why donâ€t they  want us to know that another of our
Constitutional amendments is being  trashed by an international initiative that
would impose a Law upon us so  far reaching in its scope that it would
require the destruction of every  firearm on planet earth not owned by the
military or Law  enforcement?
The answer is simple: because if  the story were widely publicized, a
constituent outrage of gargantuan  proportions would create a firestorm of
controversy rarely recorded in  this, or for that matter any other  nationâ€s  
history.
Will it be the same with the mark  of the Beast? Will those who are left
behind wake up one morning to a news  story that says, ‘Due to the
infrastructural paralysis caused by the  sudden disappearance of so many Christians, a
new world order has been set  in place that will ensure our security and
viability as a planet by  assigning a number to each and every earthling. This
number will bring  order and peace back to our governments and economies,
and will be a  mandatory requirement, the non-compliance  of which will result
in the  immediate loss of oneâ€s head.â€
So, then, how important is it that  we, as Christians, be aware of these
present and future goings on? Should  we not be paying attention to their
significance, where the fulfillment of  end times prophecy is concerned? Would
it not be gross, ministerial  negligence to do otherwise?
We have a responsibility, where  the enlightening of the left behind are
concerned, to reveal and  distribute as much information as possible regarding
issues such as these,  so that when the tribulation begins, no on-the-fence
or lip service  Christian will be without the knowledge of what 666 is
really all  about.

The number 666 adds up to the  number 18, as in chapter 18 of the Book of
Revelation. Now  read chapter 13, verse 18. (No small signs  there.)

The  Challenge
If you have any insights regarding  the number 666, by all means pass them
on for sharing with the rest of our  readership.

To be  continued...

In the name of Jesus  Christ
Amen
John  Christopher

For those who need to review part one, here it  is:


____The  Anti-Christ____


Disclaimer
Let it be understood  that this piece in no way seeks to point a finger at
any individual or  insinuate in any way that the one profiled here is indeed
the anti-Christ.  It merely presents the evidence at hand which, it is
hoped, will  ultimately reveal the identity of the man who will be instrumental
in  changing the course of human history in such a way as to usher in the
end  of the world as we now know it.
It would be  premature at this time for students of eschatology to say for
certain that  any given individual is the host through whom Satan will soon
dominate  planet earth. However, there are people in power who are now,
whether they  know it or not, paving the way for his arrival and playing right
into his  hands and plans.
The Genesis of This  Message
After two-years of  estrangement, an old acquaintance reestablished online
contact with me for  reasons other than the ones that ended our relationship
in the first  place. Though weâ€d never met nor had phone contact, the two
or so years  during which we enjoyed each otherâ€s IM and email company were
often  marred with head-butting over our diametric beliefs in  God.
When she asked how I  was doing, I said “The war goes well,â€? which
prompted her to ask, “Which  war?â€? My answer was, “The one between believers and
militant  non-believers.â€? Without losing a beat, the next question out of her
mind  was, “Is Obama the ant-Christ?â€? which indicated to me that she had
an  inkling of what was about to unfold on planet earth with regard to things
end times.
My answer was, “He  doesnâ€t fit the profile, but things could change when
he assumes the  Presidency.â€? That chat took place several weeks before Obamaâ€
s  inauguration. Since she asked that loaded question, things have indeed  
changed, at least within the government of the United States anyway, and  
the mindset of the worldwide audience who focused in on the historic event  
that placed the first African American in the White  House.
However, my long  lost, would-be friend decided not to pursue the subject
beyond my answer  to her out-of-left-field question. Instead, she got back
into the more  benign aspects of our rekindled relationship and, to date, has
chosen not  to explore the eschatological particulars of end time
speculation.  
However, given the  obvious volatility of our times, and the way things
have been shaping up  with our economy and the wars and rumors of wars
percolating in the Middle  East, my guess was that we would again tangle on this
issue in proportion  to the escalating volatilities of world  events.
The  Inauguration
“I, Barack Hussein  Obama,â€? swore the 44th President of the United  States
before making his first mistake in  office by not waiting for Chief Justice
John G. Roberts Jr. to finish  saying the first line of the oath. Then the
latter made a mistake of his  own by juxtaposing a word that should have
come before, not after the word  â€˜executeâ€- the word ‘faithfully†being the
stumbling block for both  men. Later, behind closed doors, Obama took the
oath of office again, just  in case.
The first, obvious  indicator was that our new President moved faster than
he should have when  parroting the oath of office. I took it as a sign unto
the relationship he  was going to have with our judicial system and the
Supreme Court in the  days and years ahead. The word ‘Faithfully†also gave me
reason to  believe something confrontational, where religion is concerned,
would also  become a bone of contention within administrative circles.  
Third  Sign
At 11:27 of his 18  minute, 27 second acceptance speech, our new President
said “We are a  nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and
non-believers. We  are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end
of this  earth, and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war
and  segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger, we cannot help  
but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass, that the lines of  
tribes shall soon dissolve, that as the world grows smaller our  common humanity
shall reveal itself and that America must play its  role in ushering in a
new era of peace. To the Muslim world we look to a  new way forward, based on
mutual interests and mutual  respect.â€?
The underlined  phrases could be an inkling of what the Obama Presidency
has in store for  planet earth, at least where the unifying of nations and the
overcoming of  racial and religious prejudices are concerned. After all, he
is our first  African-American President, a development that didnâ€t seem
possible when  Martin Luther King gave his ‘I have a dream†speech in August
of 1963.  Obama was 2-years old at the time.
The  Coincidences
The inauguration  took place the day after Martin Luther Kingâ€s 80th
birthday.  Barak Obama is the 44th President of the  United  States. Martin Luther
King was  assassinated on April 4th (4-4). Aside from King, one of  Obamaâ€s
biggest heroes is Abraham Lincoln, who was instrumental in  abolishing
slavery and who, like King, was shot to death by an assassinâ€s  bullet to the
head. Barak Obama was sworn in as President with his left  hand on Abraham
Lincolnâ€s Bible. It was only the 2nd time that  Bible was used at a
Presidential inauguration- Lincolnâ€s being the  first. Obama is left-handed. Scripture
tells us that the anti-Christ will  also be killed by a head wound, but that
he will come back to life to  suffer a blind right eye and withered arm.
Given that the right side of  the brain controls the left side of the body,
might that arm be the left  one? (Zechariah + 11:17)
The Vice President  who replaced Lincoln in the White House was  
56-years-of-age at the time of his swearing in. The inauguration  parade in which
Obama walked and rode was the 56th in  our nationâ€s history. Lincoln was 56 at
the time of his  death. Given the adulation enjoyed by Obama at his
inauguration, the fact  that he was 47-years old at the time harmonizes interestingly
with the  47th Psalm.
The new Presidential  limo is a 2009 Cadillac nicknamed ‘The Beast,†AKA
the ant-Christ, who  will compel all nations to embrace a one world religion,
as in the  underlined phrases taken from Obamaâ€s inaugural speech. Only a
handful of  Presidents were stirring orators, Obama now included. Scripture
tells us  that the anti-Christ will have the gift of oratory and that his
soaring  rhetoric, dynamic personality and master mindedness will be
instrumental  in compelling nations to accept him as the leader of a one world
religion  and government as well.  
Psalm +  55:20
“…though his mouth is smoother  than butter, he has war in his heart;  
his words may soothe  more than oil, but they are naked  swords.â€?

June 28,  2006
“Whatever we once  were, we are no longer a Christian nation, at least not
just; we  are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation,
and a  Hindu nation and a nation of non-believers. And even if we did have
only  Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the  
United States of  America, whose Christianity would we  teach in the schools?
Would it be James Dobsonâ€s or Al Sharptonâ€s? Which  passages of scripture
should guide our public policy? Should we go with  Leviticus, which suggests
slaveryâ€s OK, and that eating shell fish is an  abomination? Or we could go
with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your  child if he strays from the
faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon  on the Mount (?) a passage
that is so radical, that itâ€s doubtful that our  own defense department would
survive its application.â€? (Barack Hussein  Obama)

Mark +  9:40
"Anyone who is not  against us is for us." (Jesus Christ)

July 24,  2008
“I am a fellow  citizen of the world…In this new world we will have a
global  citizenship…We will join in a new global partnership…We must come
together  to save the planet…We need a globalized world…People of the world this
is  our time…We must answer our destiny and remake the world once again.â€?  
(Barack Hussein Obama in Berlin, addressing the largest gathering of  
people in his political career.)  
January 23,  2009
Osama and  Obama
When Osama Bin Laden  decided to take down the World Trade Center, he did
it for two primary  reasons: one- to strike terror in the hearts of the
American people, and  two- to test our mettle; to see how we would jump. Would we
cower in fear,  or initiate a measured response? By choosing the latter,
President Bush  literally stopped terrorism in its tracks on the home front by
dismantling  Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. There hasnâ€t been  a terrorist attack
in the United States since. Meanwhile,  Bin Laden has been laying low and,
through occasional audio and video  propaganda statements, doing his best to
rally Muslims everywhere to kill  Americans and Jews when and where they
can.  
And, while terrorism  is gaining a foothold along the Afghanistan/Pakistan
border, but losing  ground and all kinds of credibility in Iraq, there
remains a burning  question that only history can answer- How will Barak Hussein
Obama deal  with fundamentalist Islam when push-comes-to-shove tests the
policies and  campaign promises of his  Presidency?
Will Bin Laden do  something catastrophic on American soil, or ratchet up
the war in  Afghanistan and Pakistan again just to see how our new President
will  respond, or will he ride out the current storm, do his worst to stir
up as  much trouble and military damage as possible, and hope for the best?

“Feel free to whack  me over the head.â€? (Barack Hussein Obama)

February 4,  2009
It was widely  disclosed in the media today that President Obama was, and
possibly still  is addicted to nicotine, which kills more people per year
than all other  controlled substances combined.
February 9,  2009
President Obama gave his first  news conference today. In it, he said, with
regard to the way financial institutions had been operating, “The party  
now is over..,â€? which strongly indicated a government  
intervention/regulation could soon be put in place. He also made reference  to the dysfunctional
health care system and his intention to streamline it  by getting rid of hard
copy documentation in deference to placing all  medical records on hard
drives as a way of superseding the oft-cumbersome  way in which hospitals and
medical professionals operate. These two  particles of thought could easily
and ultimately translate into  establishing a kind of electronic monitoring
system designed to keep  track, not only of our physical integrity and
location, but financial  histories, as will be the case for those who accept the
mark of the beast.  No American President has ever suggested that such a
technologically  intrusive tracking and information device might be a good way
to  streamline and speed up the infrastructure of our governmental machinery.
(Revelation + 13:16-18)  
AOL  News
WASHINGTON  (March 9) – President Barack Obama is ending former President
George W.  Bush's limits on using federal dollars for embryonic stem cell
research,  with advisers calling the move a clear signal that science — not
political  ideology — will guide the administration.
+
Again,  President Obama clearly indicated that he preferred the scientific
mindset  over the Mind of Christ, as in  anti-Christ.
The Big  Question
Is Barack  Hussein Obama either the anti-Christ or the false prophet? The
current  evidence seems to indicate he is. However, given that most Christian
theologians agree that both will be Jews, it also seems highly improbable  
that Obama will fit the profile unless or until he converts to Judaism, or  
it is discovered that he is of Jewish  ancestry.
Regardless  of who will be the physical host of Satanâ€s spirit, one thing
is certain,  President Barack Obama has shown himself to be a key player in
the forming  of a global mindset which will inevitably embrace the anti-Christ
â€s new  world order when his time and place are ideal for the forming of
mankindâ€s  final, ill-fated attempt to govern the entire population of planet  
earth.    
October 9,  2009
President  Barak Hussein Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In light
of the  fact that his eight months in office werenâ€t what one would call  
exemplary, where diplomatic intercourse is concerned, the award wore all  the
earmarks of worldwide, political manipulation on the part of its  awarders.
A year ago  this month this ministry posted the following one-liner unto
its mailing  list:

“Until Al Gore,  Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter won it
I used to think The  Nobel Peace Prize was a high honor-
Now I use it as a  reliable reverse barometer.
John  Christopher

Regardless of why he  was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the feather in his
cap was thought to  be by many- unearned, and yet another reason to look
upon the committee  who gave it to him as suspect, where the establishing of
humanitarian  standards are concerned.
October 17,  2009
What follows, in  part, was transcribed from a video clip I received today
from a Yahoo  Christian Group member whose suspicions concerning the
identity of the  anti-Christ are as open to suggestion as mine and many others Iâ€m  
sure.
Did Jesus Really  Reveal the Name of the Anti-Christ?
“In Luke, chapter  10:18, Jesus said these words: ‘…I beheld Satan as
lightning falling  from the heavens.†These words are written in Greek and
translated to  English. However, Jesus spoke these words originally in Aramaic,
which is  the most ancient form of Hebrew…So what are the words for lightning
and  heights, or heaven, in Hebrew? From the Strongâ€s Hebrew Dictionary,  
word number 1299…the word is BARAQ… lightning or a flash of light in  Hebrew
is pronounced BAW-RAWK…In Isaiah, chapter 14, verse 14, Lucifer, or  Satan,
is credited with these words, ‘I will ascend above the  heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most high…†The Hebrew  word used in this text for
the heights from which Satan fell is  Strongâ€s Hebrew word 1116- pronounced
BAM-MAW…is most commonly used to  refer to a high, sacred place, as well as
to the heights of the heavens or  the clouds In Hebrew, the letter Waw is
often transliterated as a ‘U.† Some scholars use the ‘O†for this
transliteration. It is primarily used  as a conjunction to join concepts together. So
to join in Hebrew poetry  the concept of lightning ,or BAW-RAWK, and a high
place like  heaven, or the heights of heaven, the letter ‘U,†or sometimes ‘
O,†the  Hebrew letter ‘Waw,†would be used. So, ‘Baraq ‘O†Bam-Maw†or ‘
Baraq ‘U† Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry, similar to the style written in
Isaiah, would  translate literally as lightning and the heights, or the heavens,
or  lightning from the heights of the skies or the heavens. The word SATAN
is  â€˜Satan†(SAH-TAHN) in Hebrew, a direct translation. So, back to Jesus† 
prophecy- in Luke, chapter 10:18. If spoken by a Jewish Rabi today,  
influenced by the poetry of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew,  the words
of Jesus in Luke, chapter 10:18 as, ‘…and I saw Satan as  Baraq-U-Bam-Maw.â€
Did Jesus reveal to us the name of the anti-Christ?â€?  (All words were
checked out for  verification.)
(If you would like a  copy of the clip from which these excerpts were
taken, drop me an  email.)
In English, the word  Hussein means ‘handsome.â€
Is this empirical  evidence in support of the possibility that Barak
Hussein Obama is,  indeed, the anti-Christ? Perhaps. Does it point to His being
under the  influence and/or total control of Satan? Absolutely. Does it also
suggest  that our 44th President will fall from the heights of his  current
popularity? Absolutely.
Satanâ€s Character  Traits
Scripture tells us  that he is a liar, a murderer, deceiver, rebel, a
counterfeit angel of  light, one who tempts the children of God to sin or to give
up their faith  in God, an impersonator of God Himself, an egomaniac, an
accuser of the  brothers and sisters in  Christ, and an enemy to all that true
Christianity stands for. These are  some of the ‘fruits†we are to look
for when profiling the anti-Christâ€s  persona and behavior.  
Is Obama the  anti-Christ? As far as the current data can determine, the
jury is still  out, but the circumstantial evidence is piling up by the
minute, validated  in no small part by the things our President says in his own
speeches and  press releases.
For  Instance
“Whatever we once  were, we are no longer a Christian nation,â€? (Barak
Hussein Obama)  
October  27th, 2009
As expected, given the expanding  bubble of indecision forming at the White
House over the debate as to  whether or not to send more troops and
equipment to Afghanistan, the Taliban and  al-Qaeda stepped up their efforts by  
making this the deadliest month of the Afghan war for US soldiers since  2001.
It was obvious they were doing their worst to sway public opinion,  hoping
to discourage this administration from mounting a surge similar to  the one
that was so successful in Iraq.
Meanwhile, two  terrorist bombs in Baghdad this week killed  155, giving
the White House yet another reason to ponder the consequences  of not
launching a surge in Afghanistan. It was the worst  attack in Iraq in more than two
years.  The terrorist community was obviously deep into the process of
testing  and/or proving the election campaign promises upon which Barak Obamaâ€s  
Presidency are or were based.  
October 28,  2009
After more than a  decade of opposition and delay, President Obama signed
the hate crime  bill, which added another prosecuting layer to federal Laws
concerning  hate crimes in the form of those committed on the basis of sexual
orientation, gender and gender identity or  disability.

November 21,  2009
666
The scriptural mystery surrounding  the number 666 has always been a hot
topic where the untangling of end  time prophecy is concerned. The most widely
known and obvious connection  is the fact that the anti-Christ will be
inextricably identified with its  numerical significance.

the last generation  to walk the planet before the Second Coming of Jesus

Saw It  Coming
Decades ago, eschatologists  discovered that a super computer was being
developed in Europe that would  be the heart of a system designed to keep track
of every man, woman and  child on planet earth. It would be no stretch of
the imagination to assume  a number would be assigned to those whose
identifications would be plugged  into the program that operates this  computer.
Not surprisingly, little has been  said or written about it in the
