According to the Bible there will be an increase in wickedness and violence on earth at the end of the age and that is exactly what is happening with abortion, school shootings, cop killings, Islamic terrorism and more (Matt. 24:31; Gen. 6:5; II Tim. 3:1-5).

The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the U.S. guarantees the right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. America’s founding fathers included that right in the Constitution. They did this so U.S. citizens could protect themselves from future corrupt governments, gangs, criminals and invaders who would harm them.

The root cause of America’s problem is sin. But Pres. Obama, many politicians, many celebrities, many in the mainstream media and many preachers choose to be willfully ignorant of this fundamental biblical truth.

Many respond to the increase in wickedness and violence by trying to disarm everyone except themselves.

These same anti-gun critics are very often protected by their gun-toting bodyguards. But other Americans should not be allowed to protect themselves and their families? This double-standard is part and parcel of the disconnected liberal mind. Gun control laws haven’t worked in Chicago, Ill. They didn’t work in San Bernardino, Cal. and they will never work. Sincere faith in Jesus is the only cure for the sin problem.

Many of America’s citizens know that there is widespread corruption in Washington. Many of America’s citizens are afraid of their dishonest government that has already used the IRS to target Christians and conservatives, used lawyers to explain away Islamic terrorism and refused to go to the aid of besieged American troops when they were under attack by Muslims in Benghazi.

Many of America’s citizens know that Islamic State leaders have promised more terrorist attacks in the U.S. The FBI says they are here and our pro-Muslim president wants to fly tens of thousands of other Muslims into this country without adequate background checks and without the ability to keep tabs on them. They know that he absolutely refuses to call someone a Muslim terrorist even though that person grows a beard, attends a Mosque and shouts Allahu Akbar when they kill.

Many of America’s citizens know that seriously religious Muslims go by the Koran. They know that the Koran teaches violence against non-Muslims (Sura 5:33, 8:59 and 9:5).

Many of America’s citizens have heard people like the disgraced ACLU leader in Colorado who said those who plan to vote for presidential candidate Donald Trump should be shot before they can vote (Google it).

Many of America’s citizens know that Pres. Obama is releasing Islamic terrorists at GITMO and some of them are returning to the battlefield to continue their bloodbath against non-Muslims.

Many of America’s citizens know that it is dangerous for them to be disarmed and to become totally dependent upon a corrupt, politically correct, pro-Islamic government to protect them. They know that Muslims are raping and killing Christians all over the Middle East including very young children, and President Barack Hussein Obama won’t lift a finger to help these innocent victims. They know that the saying “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” is a true.

Many of America’s citizens know that responsible citizens such as Judge Jeanine on Fox; Jerry Falwell, Jr. at Liberty University; Police Chief, James E. Craig at Detroit, Mich.; Sheriff Wayne Ivey at Brevard County, Fla.; Sheriff David Clarke, Jr. at Milwaukee, Wis., Sheriff Joe Arpaio at Maricopa County, Ariz. and many others are urging citizens to legally purchase guns, get training on how to use them and get a concealed carry permit.

Gun sales are going through the roof and this has been taking place on for a long time. Every speech that our pathetic, deceptive White House apologist for Islamic terrorism makes spreads fear and causes people to arm themselves.

This president and the sleazy front-running, politically correct female Democrat that wants to take his place have called upon Congress to approve legislation to deny citizens on the no-fly list the right to purchase guns.

What is wrong with that? Simply put, it is the nose of the camel under the edge of the tent. It places honest citizens in even greater danger. Unarmed citizens will be helpless against those who break the law. And if Hillary wins, our nation will have another unscrupulous president for many more years. God help us!

Even worse, since Pres. Obama took office the first time the number of names on the no-fly list has increased from 48,000 to more than 700,000. This number could be in the millions with one swipe of his famous law-breaking pen.

All Obama needs to do is to put good people who disagree with his warped ideology and agenda on the no-fly list (along with the dangerous suspected terrorists). In his mind, those who oppose him are the problem. This could include those who buy a pressure cooker, those who post something on facebook that is not politically correct, those who visit certain websites, those who purchase a cell phone, those who refuse to take a certain mark, and any others he wants to silence or attack

Our deceptive president has Muslims in the White House. He wants to take over the local police. He has troops practicing ways to eliminate local militants. He has a list of “Potential Domestic Terrorists” which includes evangelical Christians; members of the TEA Party; veterans; gun owners; people who oppose abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, Islamic terrorism, world government and more.

Should Christians be allowed to have guns to defend themselves?

No one can honestly deny that the Bible says that Jesus told His disciples to buy a sword and they bought two swords (Luke 22:36-38). No one can honestly deny that it says Peter cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant when Jesus was arrested (Matt. 26:51). Jesus could have protected His disciples, but He was teaching them that honest people sometimes have to go armed to defend their selves and others.

Wake up America! The satanic government of Antichrist and his False Prophet will kill multitudes of disarmed citizens during the Tribulation period. What we do now could be paving the way for that and it could be some of our loved ones that get beheaded.

I usually try to write an article on the weekend, but I will be away from my computer this weekend and I won’t have the opportunity to write anything.

Under normal circumstances, I would probably write about something that is currently in the news, but I can only speculate about what kind of exciting things will be in the news next week. Therefore, I want to go out on a limb by stating an opinion about something I heard several years ago.

I have only heard it once. I don’t know where I heard it. And I don’t know anyone who believes it. But I want to put it in writing for your consideration.

I will state the opinion in my own words first and then I will try to explain why it may have some substance. Those who read this should consider it and make their own decision.

Simply put, the opinion is the idea that Jesus took the sealed book of Daniel from God’s right hand (Dan. 12:4; Rev. 5:1). He started breaking the seals (Rev. 6:1). And He revealed what shall be at the time of the end (Rev. 6:1-22:21).

With regard to the substance it is important to recall that the chapter and verse divisions were not in the original manuscript of the book of Daniel. It is also important to consider the context of Dan. 12:4.

Daniel chapter 11 has 45 verses in it and all of those verses are about  events that an angel said was in Daniel’s future. The first 35 verses of the angel’s revelation were fulfilled between Daniel’s lifetime and the first coming of Jesus.

But all of a sudden in the last half of Dan. 11:35, the angel skipped to the time of the end.

The first thing the angel revealed about the time of the end concerns the Antichrist: He won’t obey the law; he will think highly of himself; he will blaspheme God; he will be successful until the end of the Tribulation period; he will do what God has determined shall be done; his ancestor’s religion will mean nothing to him; he may be gay; he will be godless; he will exalt himself and he will honor Satan with expensive gifts (Dan. 11:36-38).

Second, the angel revealed that the Antichrist will move against other nations; the king of the North (perhaps Syria and or Russia); the king of the South (perhaps Egypt and or a group of Arab nations); the glorious land of Israel; Egypt; Libya; Ethiopia; an army from the east and more (Dan. 11:39-44),

Third, the angel revealed that the Antichrist will wind up in Israel where he will come to his end with no one to help him (Dan. 11:45).

Forth, moving into chapter 12, but realizing that there were no chapter and verse divisions the angel revealed God’s protection for Israel; the time of trouble (the Tribulation Period); that some of the Jews will be delivered; the resurrection of the dead and the wisdom of being a soul winner for Jesus (Dan. 12:1-3).

Finally, the angel told Daniel to close the book and seal it until the time of the end, a time of rapid travel and an explosion of knowledge (Dan. 12:4). Seal it until the time of the end implies that the book of Daniel would be unsealed in the future.

Daniel wanted to know more, but he was told a second time that, “the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end” (Dan. 12:9).

Moving to Rev. chapter 5 verse 1, John saw Someone on the throne in heaven with a sealed book in His right hand (Could it be the sealed book of Daniel?). A strong angel asked, “Who is worthy to open the book, and loose its seals” and it turns out that the only One that is worthy is Jesus (Rev. 5:2-14). Could it be that this is the same angel that told Daniel to seal his book?

Jesus loosed the first seal (Rev. 6:1-2) and the subject is the same Antichrist mentioned in Dan. 11:35-38.

Jesus loosed the Second seal (Rev. 6:3-4) and the book he was holding revealed that peace will be removed from the earth. It is interesting that Daniel’s sealed book had talked about other wars (Dan. 11:39-44), but this is about more wars at the time of the end.

Jesus continued to unseal the book of Revelation and it revealed details about all of the other things that Daniel wanted to know more about. This shows that Jesus not only called Daniel a prophet (Matt. 24:15) He also expanded on Daniel’s prophecies when He revealed the book of Revelation.

I will add one final thing: An angel told Daniel to seal his book until the time of the end. Some believe the time of the end began with the Church Age (Acts 2:17). An angel revealed the unsealing of a book (the book of Revelation) near the beginning of the Church Age (probably mid-90s AD).

For your consideration: Could it be that the book that Daniel sealed is the same book that Jesus unsealed? Daniel’s book is so accurate the message certainly had to come from heaven.
