Calling the Truth a Lie :: by Daymond Duck

When Hillary Clinton picked Tim Kaine to be her running mate in the upcoming presidential election several articles were posted on the Internet saying that Mr. Kaine is pro-Muslim and anti-Israel. Other articles refuted that and I casually glanced at them and moved on.

But I recently read a five week old article that deserves more than a casual glance. It was written by Eli The and it is titled: “Tim Kaine: ‘The Catholic Church Will Change Its Same-Sex Marriage Stance Or It Will Be Banned From The U.S.’”
It can be found at: http://therightists.com/tim-kaine-the-catholic-church-will-change-its-same-sex-marriage-stance-or-it-will-be-banned-from-the-u-s/

According to the article, Mr. Kaine has changed his position on same-sex marriage and he believes that there is a good chance that the Catholic Church will follow suit.

It would be hard to find a clearer example of exchanging the truth of God for a lie (calling an abomination good). And the Bible says God will give people up to uncleanness for practicing perversion.

He said they worship the creature (Satan) more than they worship the Creator (Rom. 1:24-25). They prefer to follow the father of lies (Satan) than to follow the God of truth.

Mr. Kaine seemed to say that he believes the Catholic Church will change its position on same-sex marriage because God surveyed the entire world in the first chapter of Genesis, including mankind, and said, ‘It is very good.’”

This is reprobate thinking because God’s pronouncement that His creation was “very good” was before sin entered into the world. There was no same-sex marriage when God said, “It is very good.”

Mr. Kaine added that the Catholic Church should be accepting same-sex marriage instead of condemning it and that there are ways to make the Catholic Church listen to the voice of reason.

He apparently believes the Bible and the Catholic Church are unreasonable. This would mean that the Holy Spirit that inspired the Scriptures and the Catholic Church that interprets them are unreasonable. And it means that he is calling evil, good, and good, evil (Isa. 5:20).

He accused the Catholic Church of acting contrary to the Christian faith and said if the Catholic Church doesn’t change it will be given an ultimatum: Change your stance on same-sex marriage or pack your bags and get out of America.

What does it say about the heart of a man that thinks he can twist the Scriptures and kick the Catholic Church out of America, if it doesn’t comply with his misinterpretation of the Bible?

He probably wouldn’t have any problems with kicking out the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Assemblies of God and others. But would he kick out the Muslims that don’t agree with his position on same-sex marriage?

And if he would try to force people to accept same-sex marriage, would he try to force people to submit to Sharia Law or to take a name, number or Mark?

And why would he kick out Catholics and oppose the removal of illegal aliens that have been committing crimes in America?

If he can so easily cast aside what the Bible says about homosexuality, would he easily cast aside what it says about Israel, world government, etc.

Hillary may have health problems. Mr. Kaine could be just a heartbeat away from the presidency. Threatening to kick people out of America that disagree with him is not good.

Think America! Think and vote before you are given an ultimatum to comply with evil or pack your bags and get out of America.

Three Returns of Israel :: by Daymond Duck

An interesting event has taken place, but I need to set the stage before I reveal what it is.

According to the Bible, the children of Israel will return to the Promised Land three times and no more.

The first return was when God brought the out of Egypt in unbelief (about just a few years before 1400 B.C.). During their first return, God dealt with the unbelieving Jews by commanding 40 years of wandering in the wilderness.

Several hundred years later, in the days of Isaiah, God said there will be two more returns (Isa. 11:11-12).

There would be a return from Babylon in the days of Daniel (about 536 B.C.; Jer. 25:8-13). And there would be a later return that would take place in two phases.

In phase one, some of the Jews would return in unbelief from all over the world before the Tribulation Period. That will set the stage for the Tribulation Period (a time of trouble and distress; Ezek. 22:17-22; Zeph. 1:15-16). And it will be after 69, but before the 70th of Daniel (9:24-27; Matt. 24:32-33).

In phase two, the remainder of the Jews will return as believers from all over the world at the end of the Tribulation Period (after the 70th week of Daniel; Matt. 24:29-31). All Israel will be saved and this phase will set the stage for the Millennium (a time of blessings; Rom. 11:26).

Following phase two of this third return, God will establish the tabernacle of David (restore the Davidic dynasty) and all of the Jews will never be removed from the Promised Land again (Amos 9:11-15; Acts 15:13-18).

Now, let’s get to the interesting event.

On Sept. 27, 2016, it was reported that the Jewish Sanhedrin concluded several months of deliberation and ruled that Israel has returned as a nation not as a group of individuals.

To clarify, one Jew or even 100 Jews returning to the Promised Land does not mean that Israel has returned as a nation. So the Sanhedrin turned to the Scriptures for an answer.

And they learned that during the return from Egypt under the leadership of Joshua 601,730 Jewish adult males entered the Promised Land (Num. 26:51, 63). This was slightly more than Moses and Aaron counted while they were still in the wilderness (Num. 1:46).

We see 601,730 adult males in the days of Joshua plus approximately the same number of women plus many children and teenagers under the age of 20 would probably be 1 ½ to 2 million people.

Today, there are close to 7 million Jews in Israel. And this is the basis for the Sanhedrin ruling that Israel has officially possessed the Promised Land for the third time.

This means the Jews are in the Promised Land for the last time. There won’t be any more returns. And they won’t be put off the Promised Land again.

Everyone that tries to expel them will fail. There are not enough troops and weapons on earth to expel them.

God is always watching over Israel. “He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Psa. 121:4). God will never be caught off guard. He will never stop watching over Israel.

Those who test Him are making a terrible mistake.
