Will The Great End Time Deception Begin On the Day The Mayan Calendar Ends In 2012?
Today we have a guest post by Reverend Ed Donnally. You can find out more about Reverend Donnally by visiting his website (http://doctrinesofdemons.com/). Reverend Donnally has some very intriguing insights into the year 2012 and the connection between the UFO phenomenon and the great deception of the end times. While we do not see eye to eye with Reverend Donnally on everything (for example we have a much different perspective on the rapture), we felt that his article raises a lot of interesting issues and was definitely worth posting. After reading Reverend Donnally's article, please leave a comment letting us know what you think....

December 21, 2012 is the day the Mayan Calendar ends and a group of scientists have singled out as the most likely for a variety of end time calamities, ranging from unprecedented sun spots to a super volcano eruption beneath Yellowstone National Park. One very famous Christian TV minister says the date could mark the “rapture,” when believers will be called up to meet Christ in the air.
Some $591 million of our taxpayer dollars blasted into space on March 7, 2009 with the rocket carrying the Kepler Satellite to search for life on other planets. Since 1981, the Catholic Church has searched the skies above Sedona, AZ, a hot bed of UFO sightings. Meanwhile, a large segment of the New Age Religion predicts a soon coming “Shift,” when a more enlightened human consciousness becomes the norm. A recent AOL poll showed 77% of respondents believe that UFOs are real and manned by beings. These beings, claim most New Agers, are really the group of super intelligent beings that fathered man and brought civilization to the Sumerians some 7000 years ago and will soon return to save the world from its inhabitants.
Might the “drop dead” date in 2012 be the day the Age of Aquarius, heralded by the New Age Religion, officially begins? The same date the Bible’s “strong delusion” starts? The same date humans have their first verifiable contact with “space aliens?” As bizarre as that sounds, there are signs this may be the case.
First, the number of UFO sightings has increased dramatically in recent years along with a growing public perception that there is indeed something strange in out skies. The New Age Religion is growing and a possible contributing factor to the faltering attendance in mainstream churches and decreasing number of Christians recorded recently in a Trinity College study. The New Agers now likely represents the single largest unchurched people group in the nation. Their belief system is a greater threat to the modern Christian church than even Islam.
A recent survey of US adults from 1991 to 1995 shows that New Agers represent a steady 20% of the population and are consistently the third largest religious group. About 1 in 4 believe in a non-traditional concept of the nature of God or in particular one associated with New Age thinking:
New Age Religion is not a religion at all but a vast mixing of numerous religious and philosophical ideas. It has similarities to ancient Gnosticism, the belief that superior or secret knowledge could get one into heaven. It was a belief Apostle Paul refuted in Colossians, Corinthians and particularly in I Tim 6:20.
As in the case of the Bible’s Gnostics, some modern Christian churches incorporate new age beliefs into their teachings.
In this time of economic stress and a growing belief that the world may soon end, we see an increasing number of yoga and meditation classes within church walls. Many Christian read and accept the premise of enlightened spirituality told in a maze of best sellers.
In addition, the modern satanic movement has become their ally. Started in 1966 by Pop Culture icon Anton LeVey, this group doesn’t preach the worship of Satan, but one’s self. Thus the movement has been cleverly folded into the New Age Religion. However, a new group of fundamentalists called Theistic Satanists is emerging, and it does indeed teach the worship of Lucifer. One branch is the Cult of Lam named after Lam. This being was conjured by infamous English warlock, Aleister Crowley during a satanic sexual rite performed with his homosexual partner. In 1918 Crowley drew the entity, which is identical to the alien grays of UFOs. Oddly, this satanic sect agrees with a growing group of Christian theologians who say these being are the Bible’s fallen or unholy angels.
Meanwhile, New Age priests are selling millions of books on channeling “spirit guides.” The movement as a whole has spawned a rash of other best sellers from “The Celestine Prophecy” to “The Secret.” New Age authors Eckerd Tolle and Deepak Chapura get more national air time than most past presidents.
Oddly, these spirit guides seem to have come all the way from other universes to refute Christianity and herald their return to perform a worldwide cleansing of the unenlightened, save the earth, and set up the One World Order and Religion.
This belief is the mirror opposite of the biblical end time teachings. Genesis six says that fallen angels cohabitated with human women and nothing about extraterrestrial gods founding the human race. During the New Testament’s rapture, believers in Christ as Savior will be “called up,” or leave the earth and most likely kick off the seven-year tribulation period. Here, the Bible’s Antichrist comes to power and this group of earth’s saviors show up, just as Revelation 12:7 states: “(Satan) was cast to earth and his angels with him.”
In a 2002 poll by Quark, a monthly science magazine, showed that 80% believe other life forms exist in the universe and 55% percent of the US population believes there is a foundational truth for the existence of UFOs. A Newsweek poll in 1996 said 48% believe UFO’s are real, 29 % believe we have made contact with aliens and 48% believe there is a government conspiracy to cover it up. Britain’s “Daily Mail” reported that the number of sightings doubled in 2008 from 2007 to 285. In a Gallop Pole in 1947, the year of the famous Roswell NM incident, only 10% said they believed in UFOs.
Clearly we are being prepared for a verifiable visit. A decade ago a few cutting edge Christian theologians ventured to claim, these space alien are actually demons. Today, hundreds of Christian web sites and preachers are saying the same thing. Some say it’s possible Satan and his minions will physically return in a spaceship and that the Bible’s False Prophet could be a gray or one of “elders,” some abductees are reporting seeing on board these craft. It’s likely the Bible’s great end time apostasy would result from the growing New Age Religion. This connecting and interlocking scenario could well be the prophesied “strong delusion” of II Thessalonians 2:11 and I Timothy 4:1’s prophesied: “doctrines of demons.”
How do we respond? Our evangelistic efforts are now more vital than ever. As watchmen on the wall, Christians are told to make the world aware. Our nation’s population knows well Satan’s end time viewpoint. Are we not to publicize ours? And if December 21, 2012 happens to be our date of departure, are we ready?

Second Grade Students In Indiana Ordered To Sing "Allah Is God"
In an almost unbelievable story, second grade students at an elementary school in central Indiana were recently assigned to sing a song during a holiday performance declaring, "Allah is God." Fortunately the phrase was removed just before the performance after a national conservative group launched a protest. However, if there had been no national attention this program would have gone forward as it was. This is an incredibly chilling reminder of just how far the United States of America has fallen.
The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, Indiana said that they wanted to teach "inclusiveness" to the children by including references to many religions in the holiday music for the performance. The song the children were to sing included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa.
It must be noted, though, that no other deity other than Allah was specifically mentioned in the song.
The following is the portion of the song about Allah....
“Allah is God, we recall at dawn,
Praying ‘til night during Ramadan
At this joyful time we pray happiness for you,
Allah be with you all your life through.”
What in the world?
Second grade children in the United States were actually assigned to sing this?
Yes, unfortunately they were.
The portion of the song about Christmas was not "Christian" at all. In fact, it appears to cast doubt on the Biblical story....
“I didn’t know there was a little boy at the manger. What child is this?
I’m not sure if there was a little boy or not.
Then why did you paint one on your nativity window?
I just thought if there was a little boy, I’d like to know exactly what he (sic) say.”
The truth is that when this type of thing shows up in the heartland of the U.S. it is clear that something has gone horribly wrong in this country.
This is the kind of garbage that is being done in public schools throughout America.
The United States is a mess and things seem to be headed downhill faster than ever.
Godless America: 6 Examples That Show Just How Far America Has Declined
How godless has America become?
Incredibly godless. The truth is that the United States of America that we are living in today is nothing like the United States of America our parents or our grandparents grew up in.
All you have to do is look around you to see evidence that we are clearly in the end times.
The following are six recent examples of just how godless America has become.....
*Law enforcement officials in Missouri are reportedly plotting undercover sting operations against families that are selling raw milk.
*Authorities are reporting that new syphilis cases rose 55.8 percent in San Francisco in 2008 compared to the previous year.
*It turns out that Barack Obama's new safe schools czar has promoted some of the most deviant sexual acts imaginable to 14 year old children.
*The presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is openly suggesting that the Bible is not the last word on homosexuality.
*One extremely liberal California judge has attacked parents, suggesting that they are bigots for seeking to opt-out their elementary-age children from a mandatory pro-homosexual curriculum at school.
*Lastly, one godless elementary school in Connecticut has completely banned the holiday of Christmas.
Best Buy Bans Christmas But Has No Problem Wishing Customers A Happy Eid al-Adha
Retail giant Best Buy has banned the words "Merry Christmas" from its advertising, but it apparently has no problem with wishing customers a "Happy Eid al-Adha" - an important Muslim holiday. In the picture to the left you can see this Islamic greeting circled in red in the lower left hand corner. This advertising circular was reportedly in Sunday newspapers all across the United States - including the Seattle Times. What in the world is going on when one of the biggest retailers can get away with banning "Merry Christmas" and yet still wish customers a "Happy Eid al-Adha"?
Wikipedia gives the following definition for the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha....
"Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.
This coming from a company that has been right in the middle of the "war on Christmas" battle.
Back in 2006, Dawn Bryant, a spokeswoman for Best Buy, stated the following regarding Best Buy's decision to not use the word "Christmas" in its advertising....
"We are going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be respectful of all of them."
Since then they have decided that they can use the word "Christmas" but they are still banning all uses of the term "Merry Christmas".
And yet they have no problems with wishing all of America a Happy Eid al-Adha in their national advertising?
This is just yet another example of increasing discrimination against Christians in the western world. The truth is that someday this discrimination will one day lead to open persecution. We are living in the end times, and thus we should expect that these types of things are going to happen.
But it does not make them right.
Over 1 Million Sick, 50,000 Hospitalized As Mystery Flu Virus Pandemic Ravages Ukraine
Could we be witnessing the beginnings of one of the plagues of the end times? Over the past week, a mystery flu-like illness has been absolutely ravaging Ukraine. The western media has been strangely silent about this massive outbreak, but panic is sweeping not only Ukraine but also the surrounding nations. According to the latest official numbers, over 1 million people are reported to have contracted this flu-like illness, over 52,000 of them have been hospitalized, and 174 are officially dead at this point. Although there are rumors that the true death toll is substantially higher than that. A WHO team took samples from patients in Ukraine over a week ago, but at this point they have still refused to release the results of their testing to the public. This is rapidly raising concerns that the H1N1 swine flu virus may have mutated into something much more virulent in that region.
Giving fuel to those fears are reports about how patients are dying in Ukraine. Recombinomics has posted a translation from an official announcement by the Ukraine Ministry of Health that graphically describes what the virus is doing to patients in Ukraine and how the lungs of these victims are being absolutely devastated by this virus:
The symptoms are observed at different stages of disease - a fever with a temperature over 38 C, cough, respiratory disorders. When cough was characterized by negligible allocation phlegm or dry unproductive cough with blotches of blood. All the patients come to hospital on average by 3-7 days of onset, were in serious condition. Period of time from onset to death averaged from 4 to 7 days. In all patients during a hospital for signs of respiratory insufficiency of various degrees, which quickly rose and manifested accelerated respiration rate, shortness of breath and effectiveness of independent breathing. X-ray studies were performed on 1-2 day hospitalization. Most patients experienced a double-headed particles of lower lung lesion, followed by a trend towards total destruction.
Reports such as the one above, along with the fact that the WHO is still refusing to release the sequences from the samples taken from patients in Ukraine is leading Recombinomics and other observers to fear that the H1N1 swine flu virus has mutated and become much more like the 1918 Spanish flu that killed approximately 50 to 100 million people in the early part of the last century.
In fact, infectious disease expert Dr. Donald Lau says that the chance that the pandemic virus in Ukraine is exactly the same as the H1N1 virus that has been circulating around the rest of the world is very, very low: "The statistical probability of this being the same H1N1 virus are infinitesimally small."
But now there are fears that the pandemic virus in Ukraine is starting to spread to bordering nations:
-Russian Chief Public Health Official Gennady Onishchenko recently announced that most Russian regions are now on the verge of a flu epidemic.
-The Belarusian capital of Minsk has seen approximately 10 deaths from pneumonia that was preceded by flu-like symptoms just like we are seeing in Ukraine.
-A national swine flu epidemic has been declared by the Health Ministry in Bulgaria based on the fact that the number of people that have contracted the flu has reached a level of 210 per 10,000 persons.
So just what in the world is going on in Ukraine?
Has the H1N1 swine flu virus mutated?
Why are the lungs of patients in Ukraine being absolutely destroyed and being filled with blood when we aren't seeing that take place in other areas of the world?
Why is the WHO not releasing the results of their tests on patients in Ukraine?
For now there are a lot more questions than there are answers.
Hopefully the WHO will come forward with some honest answers as quickly as possible.
For now this is a situation that we all need to keep a super close eye on.
The video posted below is one of the few mainstream media video reports that we currently have about the pandemic in Ukraine.....
Are You Part Of The Remnant Of The End Times?
Do you feel like you are part of the remnant of the end times? Do you feel as though God is doing some amazing things out there but you can't seem to find a place of fellowship where God's power is actually displayed? Do you hop around from church to church to church looking for the real thing but always feeling disappointed?
If so, then we know exactly what you are looking for. You see, we were in the exact same boat before we found the Cradle of Hope.
The truth is that God is doing something extraordinary. He is calling out the remnant and He is restoring the ways of the early church.

The U.N. Declares It Is Time For A Global Bank And A Global Currency
The Geneva-based U.N. Conference on Trade and Development has released a shocking new report that calls for the dollar’s role in international trade to be dramatically curtailed, and for the establishment of a global reserve currency and a global central bank to issue that currency.
Up until now, the U.S. dollar has more or less acted as the global reserve currency, but with the U.S. financial crisis having rocked the entire global economy during the last 12 months, many analysts around the world are now wondering if now is the time for a global currency. This new U.N. report is a huge step in that direction.
Earlier this year, China, India, Brazil and Russia (among others) started openly calling for the dollar to be replaced as the primary world reserve currency. These nations were wary of continuing to tie their own economic fortunes to that of the United States any longer.
In particular, many political leaders began to speak of "SDRs" as a possibility for that new global currency.
So just what in the world are SDRs?
Well, SDRs are "Special Drawing Rights", which is a synthetic paper currency issued by the International Monetary Fund. The SDR concept has been mostly dormant for half a century, but now the G20 has given it new life.
But it is not just world leaders that are talking about the possibility of a global currency.
Earlier this year MSNBC ran an article with this shocking headline: What if the world all used the same currency?
Even some of the wealthiest men in the world are now talking about the possibility of a global currency. For example, George Soros is now openly discussing the prospect of a global currency: "In the long run, having an international accounting unit rather than the dollar may, in fact, be to our advantage."
But the idea of a global currency is certainly not new.
The reality is that a global world currency has been the goal of globalist organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations for a very, very long time. In a 2007 issue of their Foreign Affairs magazine, they published an article entitled, "The End Of National Currency" in which they suggested that "countries should abandon monetary nationalism."
So just how would a global currency work?
Well, just as the new U.N. report suggests, a global central bank owned and run by the international banking elite of the world would print, issue and control the reserve currency of the entire world. In many ways, such a scenario would be the ultimate dream of the international banking elite. It is what they have always dreamed of.
After all, just imagine what you could do if you had total control of the reserve currency of the entire world.
But whether we see a true global currency soon or whether it takes a while, the reality is that we know from the Scriptures that a one world economic system is coming someday.....
Revelation 13:16-17
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
