This is a new twist to the regular "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" as we all know it. Read the words and share it with others. I encourage you to pass it on to nonChristians and Christians alike as a reminder that Jesus' return will come as a thief in the night, without warning. But we as Christians are expecting His return at any moment. As we go through this Holiday season, let us remember the true reason for the season, Jesus Christ, coming into this world as a Savior for all nations, tribes, and tongues. Let us also remember, that Jesus will come back to take those who trust in Him to the Father's home. May each and everyone of you have a blessed holiday season.

 

 

'Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
In hopes that Jesus would not come there.

The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap
Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.

When out of the East there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray
I knew in a moment this must be The Day!

The light of His face made me cover my head
It was Jesus! returning just like He had said.
And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth
I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.

In the Book of Life which He held in His hand
Was written the name of every saved man.
He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;
When He said "It's not here" my head hung in shame.

The people whose names had been written with love
He gathered to take to His Father above.
With those who were ready He rose without a sound
While all the rest were left standing around.

I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
I had waited too long and this sealed my fate.
I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;
Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.

In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
The coming of Jesus is drawing near.
There's only one life and when comes the last call
We'll find that the Bible was true after all!

Oh Immanuel!

How beautiful are your little feet, o little one!
They would trample on the serpent and choke death to death...

How cute are your little hands, baby boy!
They would one day perform miracles...

Lord, in such humility you came to your world...the thought itself brings tears.
Lord, your birth means a lot, the end of fears.

God with us, no thought can come close.
I long for the day...
Where i will get my heavy dose.

Hallelujah!
Praise be to my God, who has chosen to live amidst His creation.

I long  for the day where I will forever be with You and you will be my God!

Come my Lord.

What is normalcy bias?

The normalcy bias refers to an extreme mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of the government to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred that it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.^[1]

Q: What would happen if the $ were to lose its status as world reserve currency?

A: Something most americans are not ready for, willing to accept, or go along with.

Which would cause CHAOS...!

useful 411...Destroying the $ would make these requests mandatory!

Other nations, such as Russia and the People's Republic of China, central banks, and economic analysts and groups, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council, have expressed a desire to see an independent new currency replace the dollar as the reserve currency. China has proposed using the Special Drawing Rights, calculated daily from a basket of U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound, used by the International Monetary Fund for international payments.^[12]
On 3 September 2009, UNCTAD issued a report calling for a new reserve currency based on the SDR, managed by a new global reserve bank.^[13]
The Chinese yuan or renminbi (RMB) cannot be used as a reserve currency as long as the PRC maintains capital controls on the conversion of its currency.^[14] The currency would not be attractive to central banks for holding unless China developed a strong open bond market.^[15]
Russian president Medvedev has proposed a new 'world currency' at the G8 meeting in London as an alternative reserve currency to replace the dollar. ^[16]

A DOLLAR COLLAPSE WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AND IT IS INEVITABLE

"In the event that non-United States holders of dollar-denominated assets decided to shift holdings to assets denominated in other currencies, there could be serious consequences for the U.S. economy."

Nations like China and Japan which possess much US DEBT in their pocket are probably just waiting for the dollar to devalue enough before doing this. Right now, the $ hasn't lost enough value to cause such a move to take place. But at the current rate by which paper is being printed to afford "bailouts", we should get there sooner than we think. A war for example, would increase such odds hundredfold!

7Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 

Is it possible that Barack Obama, in all his humanness, desires to swallow up all traces of human behavior in order to be identified with a larger number of people? When people say "been there, done that" in the middle of an argument, it usually signifies the end of the argument. The humanist, in his love for life, longs to experience everything there is to experience so that his life can be perceived as greater, and as such, one to be admired. I think it would make sense for the ultimate humanist to tread ALL the waters of human behavior-which obviously include the less moral ones since morality is subjective anyway- in order to feel the humanness effect. Whereas Christ was perfect, only indwelling in the things of God, the antichrist will be the master imperfecter by indulging in all things imperfect. He probably figures that the more imperfect he gets, the more powerful he will be, since the source of his strength will be knowledge, understanding, and the application of these into human behavior culminating in empirical evidence. He truly believes that by delving into all, or as many, aspects of society he will morph into the SUPERHUMAN! The more human behavior he undertakes, the more humanly human he becomes and the bigger his strength. It's like, everything human, or everything of this world is fuel to him. He loves knowledge to the point where he knows so much he thinks he knows it all, in essence becoming a god in his own right and in his own mind which is all that matters to him anyway. He is simply finishing the deed Adam & Eve started in the garden ages ago when she desired to be like God. He by now has probably reached the point where he knows he knows so much that he cant be stopped in whatever it is he wants to do. His confidence stems from what he knows and has experienced. He wants to express himself as the ultimate human specimen. He wants to be the embodiment of mankind thus rivaling the embodiment of God, Jesus Christ.

The battle is on:

Mortal man and the world            vs.          THE ETERNAL I AM

And what a blowout it will be.

And he wants followers so that they can one day breed the ultimate race, like HITLER, as if there would ever be a time or place to do so. Oh the vanity of life! He will devise a plan where all peoples are forced to take his name upon themselves-thus identifying themselves with this humanist embodiment as PARTS of ONE greater manifestation. This is satan's response to the representation of God via body. He will try to duplicate the work of the Lord Jesus in suggesting that all could be part of one, he himself being that one.  Those who refuse to believe so, will simply be thrown out, thus allowing for eugenics to do ITS alloted work, something alluded to in revelation 13. Those who accept are saying yes to the plan of the Devil, whose ultimate goal is to destroy anything and anyone he can. In so doing, people will acknowledge him as god and seal their eternal fate, for they believed the lie. They, like the liar, loved life and themselves so much that they failed to see that the only truth, mortality, was not something to be played with. They were so caught up in themselves that they never saw it coming. Others saw it coming and yet continued on the path to destruction. And yet others, not only continued on the path to destruction but enjoyed every second of it. They were like sheep being led into the slaughter.

And their judgement will be righteously given by the Most High God, the God of the heavens and the earth, who will exercise his power and authority in great splendor on that day. On that same day, the saints of the Lord will tremble in fear, for great is the right hand of the Lord by which they themselves were delivered.

Another waaaayyyy out there thought:

1- Obama is an anti-american globalist with a globalist eye on a new world order that does not envision the necessity or the existence of a USA.
2- While the american people think he is doing what's best for america, Obama is plotting the eventual collapse/destruction of the nation (which is the only superpower remaining and thus the only obstacle in the way of a world government) which would come first via dollar collapse (ushering in a need for a world currency) and then through total annihilation of the land. (nuclear attack by RUSSIA).
3-The red beast the whore(USA) is sitting on would be the communist style of the new WORLD GOVERNMENT led by none other than....BARACK OBAMA....who himself assisted the destruction of the only obstacle in the way of the beast.

Revelation 17

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the nation who is surrounded by bodies of water. With this nation the kings of the earth loved to do dirty business with and became drunk by such an intoxicating doctrine."

Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit to a desolate, abandoned ghost town. There I saw a country in control of  something way more powerful than any one single nation, a powerful, consolidated, socialist regime. This something way more powerful, was covered with names of things that it conveyed controlling, having 7 kings and 10 kings. The nation on top of this something way more powerful was luxurious and was adorned with things of the wealthy. She held a golden cup in her hand filled with the stuff she did to get rich. She had a title.

Mystery

Babylon the Great

Mother of all whores

And of the abominations of the earth.

I saw that she had slaughtered christians, those who testify to the Truth.

When i saw her, i was perplexed. Then the angel said to me " WHy are you perplexed"? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and that monster she is on top of, which has seven heads(kings) and 10 (horns) kings. The monster, which you saw, lived once, lived no longer, but will live again. Everybody whose names had not been written in the book of life from the outset of creation will be amazed at such a resurrection.

This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. The monster who once lived, and now does not, is an 8th king. He belongs to the seven and will be destroyed.

The ten horns are 10 kingdomless kings but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the monster. Their goal is to give power and authority to the monster. They will war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings-and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.

The waters you saw, where the woman sits, are E PLURIBUS UNUM. The monster and the kings you saw  hate the USA. They will bring it to ruin and embarass it. They will turn their backs on the USA and will nuke it. For God has put into their hearts to do this which He ordained the earth to take care of and thus appoint the monster to rule, until God's words are fulfilled. The woman you saw is New York City(USA).
