Exercising First Amendment could be “construed as a threat”Steve WatsonInfowars.netThursday, Feb 19th, 2009.
An Oklahoma City man was pulled over by police and later visited at home by the secret service for displaying an anti-Obama sign.
According to a report in The Oklahoman, the sign, which read “Abort Obama Not the Unborn,” was seized from motorist Chip Harrison’s car by police officers who cited it as a possible “threat against President Obama”.
A lieutenant supervisor later called Mr Harrison to inform him that the Secret Service had been contacted on the matter.
When Mr Harrison returned home he found secret service agents waiting for him.
”When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren’t going to ransack my house or anything … they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn’t a part of any hate groups.” Harrison is quoted as saying.
The agents interviewed Mr Harrison for 30 minutes and then left, deeming him not to be a threat.
The police returned the sign to Mr Harrison and admitted that it was a violation of his constitutional rights to have taken it, as police spokesman Steve McCool explains in the following video:
Mr Harrison has said he feels his First Amendment rights were violated and is taking legal advice on the matter.
The incident is similar to a report we carried last year detailing how two friends from Las Vegas were pulled over, asked for identification and searched all due to the fact that they had Ron Paul and Infowars bumper stickers on the back of their car.

Friends, Something exciting happened to my family a few weeks ago. We got a call from the editors over at Charisma Magazine. They wanted to run a feature story on my family because of the parenting book we just published called ReCreate!
My wife, Katie, and I wrote ReCreate to share stories of how we made it a priority to raise Godly children and build a Christ-centered culture in the home (Charity, my middle daughter, even helped write the teen version!). It turns out that the editors at Charisma were just amazed to see all three kids in one family absolutely in love with God and pursuing them with their lives.
A lot of families in ministry really struggle when it comes to their children, and they wanted to find out how we did it. I don’t think we did anything special. It’s all in the book, but we always prayed for our kids and with our kids. And I really think the kids are doing so well because of Katie—she’s just amazing. But really what it came down to was a decision to put our kids first. After God and our marriage, our kids have been our top priority, even before ministry. That’s been the guiding principle for us as parents, and we’ve had to fight very hard to keep that focus. It wasn’t always easy, but it was worth it!
Please pray for this article! We really hope that this story in Charisma and the book itself is an encouragement and blessing to all of the families that read it. The article will be in the March issue. Until then, you can watch some videos we recorded for each chapter in the book and order a copy online if you’re interested.

THE LONG SEARCH FOR THE IDEAL!
Every generation has pursued the dream of a utopian society. The inspirational force leading to the inception of philosophical ideas, social infrastructures and even religions has been the desire for the perfect world. This is the central theme in man’s search for the ideal. Fiji is no exception.
In the recent past we have been exposed to a revolution that has come up with answers to all our problems once and for all. It would eradicate fear, poverty, hatred and other social ills and create a pain free world of peace, love, joy and harmony for all the inhabitants. The pursuit continues…
The concept called “ideology” was developed out of this search and desire for the idyllic world. Ideology is basically the formulation of ideas and thoughts that have been developed, tested and retested over time and can also be defined as philosophies or ways of thinking. Some of these philosophies have become the foundation of theories and ideologies that have in turn been the creators of systems of governing communities, societies, cities, nations and even the world. Jesus addressed the Jews in His day and said in John 8:31-32, “If ye abide in My Words, ye are My disciples. And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” But Truth taken to the extreme becomes error and this error has led to the formation of ideologies of injustice, destruction, oppression, poverty, depression and social terror.
Over the ages, many labels have emerged, submerged then reemerged from these “erred” ways of thinking. Some labels are very familiar to us today: imperialism, socialism, communism, dictatorship, humanism, deism, democracy, monarchy and communal living. Many of these have been the result of numerous social experiments of the past.
And it seems no matter how hard we have tried to recreate our world this utopia has been further from our grasp. It seems previous attempts in 1987 and 2000 have only given rise to the ideology of “individual freedom” to carry out anything and everything we are capable of doing to make it “better”. Those events have inscribed in this fragile generation a coup culture that strives in the concept of “self-determination” and “a just society” as “the democratic ideal” and though democracy is the most civil form of national government, even this has not manifested the utopia we all dream of. This may sound pessimistic but our nation has been, still is and always will be plagued with inequality, racism, prejudice, injustice, corruption, jealousy, suspicion, competition, abuse, neglect and of course the ever widening gap between the “haves” and “have-nots”. II Timothy 3:1-9 is clear that we are living in prophetic times and we are prisoners of our own pursuit of the perfect world. Our current situation has not only magnified these insecurities but also accelerated our demise.
So what is this word government or governance? Government is about order, influence, administration, distribution, protection, maintenance, accountability, responsibility and productivity. In principle, government is the person, group or organization that executes the functions of governing. How? By exercising authority and jurisdiction over territory and a citizenry. The Bible records the first account of an established Government known to man in the Book of Genesis by the command and mandate of God to Adam and incorporates the need to order, work, oversee, guard and protect.
The Bible however is the most misunderstood book on the planet, by those who do not read it and by many who do. The Bible is simply about a King, a Kingdom and a Royal Family of children. It was never intended to be a religious book! Its story and message are about the desire of a King to extend his Kingdom through his Royal Family. It is about government and governing.
In the western world the roots of government reach back to the days of the Greeks. In Greek, government (kubernites) literally means to steer, to pilot, or to act as a rudder. Without government and law there is chaos. So, government is the power given or derived for the purpose of making and enforcing laws for a certain territory. Governing incorporates the concepts of both power and authority. The two are very distinct from each other and we must understand them fully in order to appreciate the proper context of government. Both must be in balance for government to be successful.
Authority has to do with responsibility. Power has to do with ability. Authority has to do with empowerment; power focuses on exercising authority. Authority gives power its legality. Power without legitimate authority is dictatorship and eventually results in abuse, oppression and destruction. Authority gives power its rights.
Authority is the key to successful government. If a ruling power does not have authority it cannot govern. The authority to govern is given either by way of a popular vote or by way of natural authority. Today’s governments get their authority from people either through a process of choice or by seizing authority through force and our young nation has experienced the latter a tad too many times.
When authority is appropriated by way of force it is not inherent authority. The only government on the earth that represents inherent authority is a monarchy. A king has the power and can give it to whomever he chooses. All other governments are formed by casting a vote or by launching a revolution. Essentially all human governments are substitutions for the ideal no matter how good these governments might be. The quintessential utopia we seek eludes us again!
The question to ponder is: if democracy is the ideal form of governing, why has it failed? Let’s inspect its origins. Democracy has its roots in the writings of the Greeks and is viewed by many people (even those in western religions) as the perfect government. Although Plato called it the “fairest of constitutions” he also saw weaknesses in democracy that would lead to its downfall. The rule of the people, for the people, by the people is a fine idea. But the roots of western democracy reveal that it was a reaction and rebellion against a divine choice or feudal system of governing called a kingdom.
In reality, Fiji has also fallen victim to this rebellion and has rejected Gods original design of Kingdom principles and adopted the Greek ideas and refined them to accommodate her ulterior aspirations. Fiji has never understood the potential power of a king and his kingdom because she was exposed to corrupt kings. The problem was that we chose to leave out the King of Kings from the equation. “Except the Lord build the house; they labor in vain that build it. Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waiteth but in vain.” Psalms 127:1. In the absence of the perfect King and ideal Kingdom Government concept, the concept of democracy is the best form of earthly government invented by man to protect him from his own defective nature and selfish character. And we have time and again taken advantage of this. Despite being the best form of government it is still inundated with flaws. The very foundation and major principle of democracy, power and authority by majority vote, is the underpinning problem.
This defect is critical because even though it gives power to the majority of the people, it also places morality, values and standards for law at the mercy of this majority. All this does is legitimize the majority’s values, desires, beliefs, aspirations and preferences. The problem is that the majority vote can be the wrong vote. How many times have we seen that happen in our lifetime? It follows then that if democracy is in the people, then “we the people” become the supreme ruler of our lives and ultimate destiny. We have become our own god! No matter how educated we are, we can only lead ourselves as far as we go ourselves. If the ancient Hebrew scribe said that there is nothing new under the sun, then history has repeated the truth that man left to himself makes a poor god. Democracy without God therefore is man’s worship and elevation of himself and his own intelligence. What a disaster!
God is not subject to our politics nor can He be. He has created His own political system and governmental structure that is far superior to all forms of earthly government. In Him there is no difference between government and spirituality. The very assignment given to Adam in the Garden was a political assignment given to a spirit being living in a flesh body. If this is so in the original biblical mandate then there should be no such thing as “separation of church and state”. There is no biblical foundation that the church must stay out of politics! We are all political and religious! There can be no separation between a man and his belief system!
The pursuit of utopia is a universal truth but the difference is the means and methods we execute to find what has eluded us. This pursuit is not a choice but has become a necessity; it has become a personal vendetta for some as well as a corporate retaliation for others. I challenge you with this line of thought: if thirst implies the need for water, hunger implies the need for food, tiredness the need for rest, does bad governance necessitate a military conquest?

THE "NEW" TUBE
We risk a lot when we give our kids an Internet connection. In my own home, I treat every media type with great responsibility, because I know the power it has to influence my son and two daughters. But the Internet is a special case because in an instant, our kids can take it anywhere—from the most innocent children’s game to the most vile adult content. That’s why YouTube is especially dangerous. It’s incredibly popular, and it bridges the gap between innocent and insidious, making it so easy for pure intentions to wander into temptations and sin.
A new study by the Parent’s Television Council proved just that. It found that explicit content is many times only one click away from children. Even sample searches on YouTube for child-friendly topics like “Miley Cyrus” led to offensive content, and many blatantly pornographic videos did not require any form of age verification. In other words, your kids can—and probably already have—gone on YouTube to watch a perfectly innocent video, and without even trying, they were exposed to much more than you wanted them to see. We cannot be stand-offish about what our kids are doing online. It is a cultural battleground and we too often let them wander right into the middle of it!

- Here are a few steps you can take to protect your teens:
- Talk with your teens about the dangers of the Internet.
- Teach them to “run at first glance” if they ever come across something questionable, even if they weren’t looking for it.
- Keep computers in open, public places, like the living room. This is the easiest and best way to protect your entire family because it keeps everyone accountable.
- Use an internet filtering service like Net Nanny.
Build open relationships with your teens by spending quality time with them every day.
If you’re a youth pastor or work with students, take time to talk with them about the risks of YouTube and other websites.Thank you for caring enough to learn about the critical issues facing this generation today. And please pray with me for God’s protection and blessing over our young people and children.

AGENT 007 - TOBO O VAN DAMME
Masonic plan to reveal their Messiah on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.When we speak of Masonry, we need to speak of the occult, kabbalah (cabala), black magic, satanism, spiritualism, and spiritism. All forbidden by the Word of God. As we know, the dabbling in the occult are all very good ways of inviting demons into ones life. Masonry takes all the world religions, ignores their teachings, and comes up with its own blend of enlightened man. This is what Masons mean by the "perfected man". He belongs to a fraternity which on the surface puts up the facade of benevolence, all the while directing and corralling its initiates to its true God - who is, as Masonic Grand Master Albert Pike tells us: "Lucifer, the Light-bearer!"
His fearsome appearance in a tall pointed hat and his penchant for crystal balls gave the world the archetype of the wizard after which dozens of story book wizards have been based, including Gandalf, Harry Potter, and even the Wizard of Oz. He founded the Rosicrucian order (the preeminent training School for the occult), the first of many magical secret societies, which promoted spiritual growth throughout the centuries.John Dee (1527-1608) was an English mathematician, professor, and astronomer who gave it all up for the (at that time) more lucrative occupation of being an "angel channeler" and astrologer.Dee eventually became Elizabeth's court astrologer, and soon after, her spy. As an agent of the crown, Dee conducted several mysterious missions for purposes mostly unknown to this day. He relished his espionage duties, creating elaborate, sophisticated ciphers. In his correspondence with the Queen during these episodes, he signed his communiqués "007," a moniker that would be used again, as any fan of the spy genre will recognize. The angelic channeler John Dee believed that specially constructed mirrors could draw magical power from the sun and transmit messages and objects to distant stars and other worlds. Dee attempted to receive visions from 'angels' using a globe of crystal.Dee was born near London on the 13th of July 1527. He entered St. John's College at Cambridge at age 15. He achieved notoriety early on with a charge of sorcery, which stemmed from a mechanical flying beetle demonstrated in a stage play. After spending many years studying mathematics and cartography, he took an interest in natural magic, a pastime then accepted by the church. From his studies he developed a doctrine that one could obtain knowledge of God from the applied practice of magick- a controversial idea that was to get him into trouble on a number of occasions. Early in his "Magik" career, during the reign of Queen Mary Tudor (Bloody Mary), Dee was arrested and accused of attempting to kill her with sorcery. He was imprisoned in Hampton Court in 1553. Dee was imprisoned in England for the crime of ‘calculating’ –practicing the pagan craft of mathematics. He was accused of practicing black magic. In 1564 one of his many books dealing with Occult matters, The Monas Heiroglyphica was published, the Monas Heiroglyphica is a symbol created by Dee, which he believed was the ultimate symbol of Occult knowledge. The following year he published Di Trigono.Dee began his experiments in trying to contact discarnate entities in 1581, mainly fuelled by strange dreams, feelings and mysterious noises within his home. On 25 May 1582 he recorded that he had made his first contact with the spirit world, through the medium of his crystal ball. This had taken Dee years of work to achieve, through studying the occult, alchemy and crystallomancy. Spirit contact would prove to be a major driving force behind Dee for the rest of his life. While Dee was away in Europe things were not boding well at home. In 1583 a large mob attacked Dee's home and library at Mortlake in Surrey destroying his collection of books, occult instruments and personal belongings. The attack was probably in response to rumors that Dee was a wizard. DEE'S THEOLOGY (Isis & Osiris) IS EVERYWHERE IN MASONRY:John Dee, Rosicrucian's and Freemason's all believe the same thing. And that's that benevolent "higher spiritual beings" are just waiting in one of many other dimensions to aid "Perfected Men" like Dee and Freemasons, men who have perfected themselves through proceeding up through the ranks of the secret societies. Freemason's are aware that God is opposed to this. The Bible calls these spiritual beings demons, with God forbidding such practices completely. This practice is called "necromancy", and is defined as "conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events" (Miriam Dictionary). In the following passages, God forbids this practice: Deuteronomy 18:11; 1 Samuel 28:7-19; Leviticus 19:31; and Leviticus 20:6."... one of Dee's biographers described him as 'Elizabethan England's great magus' ... Dee was a practitioner of 'Hermetic gnosticism', a school of thought based on the ancient pre-Christian teachings of the Greek god Hermes. Hermes was in fact a mere copy of the much earlier Egyptian god of knowledge and language, Thoth. In this sense, all 'Hermetic gnosticism' can be viewed as a worship of the teachings of Thoth. According to the Egyptian mythos, Thoth was one of the gods who came down to Earth, along with Isis and Osiris, to bring the fruits of knowledge, civilization and the sciences to the Egyptian people ... In 1581, using his knowledge of these ancient practices, he began a series of attempts to communicate with 'higher beings'. His channel in this capacity was one Sir Edward Kelly..."
The 007 was the insignia number that Elizabeth was to use for private communiques between her Court and Dee. Dee signed his letters with two circles (zeros) and a seven: “007". Dee was the man whom Ian Fleming modeled his 007 James Bond character.TUBAL CAIN: Lamech was Cain’s fifth son. Lamech in turn had three sons: Jabal, Jubal, Tubalcain. Tubal Cain refers to blacksmiths from antiquity and the original Tubal Cain supposedly worked with bronze and iron in the far distant past.
If we simply rotate Dee’s 007 signature 90 degrees. It then looks like two balls and a club or a cane. The interesting thing about this is that there is a resemblance to the masonic symbol "Two Ball Cane". “Two Ball Cane" is allegedly a pun for “Tubal Cain" which is the secret password of a third degree mason, a "master mason".Listen to what occultist and Mason, Manly Palmer Hall, has to say:"The day has come when Fellow Craftsman must know and apply their knowledge. The lost key to their grade is the mastery of emotion , which places the energy of the universe at their disposal. Man can only expect to be entrusted with great power by proving his ability to use it constructively and selflessly. When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mastery of his craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy. He must follow in the footsteps of his forefather, Tubal-Cain, who with the mighty strength of the war god hammered his sword into a ploughshare." [Manly P. Hall, 33rd Degree, K.T., The Lost Keys of Freemasonry or The Secret of Hiram Abiff , Forward by Reynold E. Blight, 33rd Degree, K.T., Illustrations by J. Augustus Knapp, 32nd Degree, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, Inc., Richmond, Virginia, p. 48]There is also a sexual connotation associated with Vulcan and Tubal Cain. Former Mason, Bill Schnoebelen, explains:"For Masons who wish to conceal their membership from non-Masons, but still advertise it to their Lodge brothers, there is a special pin (or tie tack) they can wear. It looks like an upside down golf club with two balls near the top....Many people assume the person is a golfing enthusiast, but it is actually a visual Masonic pun."This is called the 'Two Ball Cane,' and is a pun on the secret password of a Master Mason, 'Tubalcain (sic).'...It is also an all-too-obvious pun on the 'god' of Masonry, the male reproductive organ. Nice, eh?...especially when many men wear these wretched things to church on Sunday!"Dee named his system of ceremonial magic after the apocryphal Book of Enoch. Enoch is also the central figure around which a great deal of Masonic legend is centered, as he is said to have constructed the two pillars of Masonic lore to preserve the antediluvian high knowledge of Atlantis inside them. …Tubal, one of his children by the other wife, exceeded all men in strength, and was very expert and famous in martial performances. He procured what tended to the pleasures of the body by that method; and first of all invented the art of making brass.
This image depicts John Dee, Queen Elizabeth's personal astrologer, passing a lantern symbolizing the esoteric tradition to Francis Bacon.When he was 21, Bacon met the alchemist and original 007, John Dee. On August 11, 1582 there was an entry in Dee's journal that they met at Mortlake – the young Bacon came to the famous alchemist to learn about the ancient Hebrew esoteric numerical code known as the Gematria, one of the oldest cipher systems known, dating from 700 BCE. Esoteric themes are threaded through much of Bacon’s writing and we can only guess at Dee’s influence.The original English "Top Secret"...When Frances Drake sailed up the coast of California he had navigational instruments that were top secret. The French, the Spanish, must be kept away from this stuff and these were navigational instruments created by John Dee that allowed him to locate himself anywhere on the globe. In addition to his studies of the occult, and numerous trips abroad (which many think as a spy), Dee was employed teaching navigation to Naval Captains for 30 years.
Above: Mason Memorial in Eilat, Israel
There is only one road leading from Eilat to the Egyptian border at Taba and the last circle before getting to the border you will find this Masonic Memorial in the middle of the road. As usual symbolism means everything in this organization. The two columns represents the two pillars of Solomon’s Temple. It's obvious Satan's Clubhouse (Masonry) is having something to do with Israeli society being mostly secular, and not spiritual. One must first understand, that under their canopy of one "Great Architect of the Universe" theology, Masonry has been adept at making "strategic alliances" with Satanists, The Brotherhood, Spiritists, Wicca, Druids, Cabalists, Hindu and Islam. Shriners are Masonry's Islamic wing. It is from this alliance that their "Messiah" will appear. Masons treat all these groups and beliefs as all equal. Christianity which views all the above as pagans is simply one among many to a Mason.Freemasonry has always planned to gain control of the Temple Mount, so they can rebuild Solomon's Temple. As soon as they rebuild this Temple, their Masonic Christ will appear on the earth, claiming to be the Jewish Messiah for whom Israel has long been awaiting. This "Christ" will be the Biblical Antichrist. Christian writer Texe Marrs writes: On the heap of its ruins, the Masons intend to build a Jewish Masonic temple where they and their satanically energized messiah shall worship and pay homage to the Egyptian double-headed eagle deity, Mammon-Ra, the god of money and prosperity (Daniel 11:37-39).It is obvious that the Masonic presence is not only very present but getting very bold throughout Israel. The Masonic Grand Lodge meets in Tel-Aviv, but there are Masonic Temples (about 70) in all important cities, from Nahariya in the north to Eilat, Israel's southern port on the Red Sea. See the numerous Masonic lodges in Israel: hereThe Quest to Rebuild the Temple- Two weeks after the 1967 Six-Day War which saw Jerusalem and the Temple Mount brought under Israeli control, there occurred the greatest freemasonic meeting in history in London, celebrating 250 years since the founding of UGLE (United Grand Lodge of England), at which the Duke of Kent was installed as the new Grand Master.- Shortly after, the QC Lodge dispatched a member, the Jewish physicist Dr. Asher Kaufman, to begin studies on the exact location of where the Temple originally stood.- The Temple Mount Faithful was also established at this time by Stanley Goldfoot, which is presently led by Gershon Solomon.- In December of 1995, a month after Rabin was assassinated, the Jerusalem Lodge (91) was established adjacent to the Temple Mount in the underground Grotto of King Solomon. This lodge was founded by Giuliano Di Bernardo, and at the opening ceremony he declared, "The rebuilding of the Temple is at the center of our studies."
Baphomet
Professor Giuliano Di Bernardo- First Grand Master of the Regular Grand Lodge of Italian freemasonry. For the previous three years he had been Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy (GOI), from which body he had resigned shortly after the Grand Orient of Italy annual meeting at the end of March 1993. Upon quitting the GOI, Di Bernardo accused his old lodge of Satanic rituals saying, "in the lodges of the GOI, obscene rites are practiced, deriving from the Templar tradition, in which the devil Baphomet is invoked, together with the Supreme Being." No doubt by the Supreme Being Di Bernardo is speaking about is Satan.- Lord Northampton is an avid supporter of Di Bernardo and has charged him with the task of preparing the way for rebuilding the Temple. In June, 1996 Bernardo published his book in Italian: "Rebuilding the Temple", which was to be published in English by the Quatuor Coronati Lodge. In an interview he explains his goal, "A new utopia may be based on the cabala. I see a utopia based on Jewish mysticism, but Jewish mysticism as a place... a material place, Solomon's Temple... This is my intention. This is my will!"Yet another Satanism, Occult & Masonry connection. Look no further to Lord Northampton's comments on Aleister Crowley - the most famous occultist and The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - one of the most famous occult societies of the 20th Century. Lord Northampton said; "I know the Golden Dawn extremely well, and I love Aleister Crowley's poems and Macgregor Mathers, and all those people and I know all the people in England who are still practicing it, and I have done the rituals. I have done all these things. Great fun. Tremendously exciting!" Crowley wrote an account of his spiritual progress in magic and Satanism under the title "The Temple of Solomon the King."Of particular interest regarding the British Quatuor Coronati Masonic Lodge and extreme interest in the Jerusalem Temple Mount is the fact that Sir Charles Warren was the first grand master of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge Lodge. He was also the president of the Palestine Exploration Fund, and two decades earlier had been the chief engineer for British excavations of the Temple Mount. - Lord Northampton, who has been atop the Temple Mount conducting "Temple studies," candidly has admitted in interviews, that he is an adherent of British Israelism, which holds that the British oligarchy has mystical powers, because England was colonized by one of the lost tribes of Israel. "I think the tradition of the Kabbalah is very strong in England, because I think one of the lost tribes came to England. And I think you can spot them, quite clearly, in old English families. I am sure you can. I know they came to Ireland, then to the north of Wales, and then down into England. And then that became some of the oldest families we have."- Di Bernardo has also spoken of how the director of the ADL of B'nai B'rith, Abe Foxman, is a collaborator in the plan to rebuild the Temple, and that he, Foxman and Lord Northampton met in Switzerland just prior to the launching of the Jeruslalem Lodge, to discuss the project. Di Bernardo says that there are strong connections between B'nai B'rith and freemasonry.July 15, 1968: The President of the Moslem Court of Appeals turns down a request by an American Masonic Temple Order who asked permission to build a $100 Million "Solomon's" temple on the Temple Mount.For those that don't know, ex-Confederate General, and some say Klu Klux Klan member, Albert Pike is one of if the most famous freemasons of the scottish rite known to man and authored this book "Morals and Dogma of Freemasonry" which is pretty much the Masonic Bible; even though most Mason's don't even look through this text. For if they did, they'd learn why that 95% of them are being deliberately LIED to. Following teachings about Lucifer the "Light-Bearer" are Mason teachings in this book: "Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!" [Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, p. 321, 19th Degree of Grand Pontiff Most new candidates to Masonry also have no idea that what they are told initially are lies. At the heart of Masonry is a secret Luciferian doctrine which a Mason only comes to understand as he reaches the higher levels.. New candidates are falsely taught that the beginnings of Freemasonry are lost in the "mists of time". Beware: That is just a clever lie candidates easily accept, to be deceived.High level Masons believe that Lucifer never fell to earth and that Lucifer is really God, and refer to Yahweh by the name of ‘Adonay.’ Masons say that it is Yahweh that is the god of evil, because he forces men to be subservient to his repressive dictates. Masonic books given to handpicked members of the 32nd and 33rd Degrees, say that Jesus was an impostor, and that Lucifer is the true God.

How Great Is Our God
…in Him all things hold togetherJune 20, 2007
I was able to see a great dvd of Louie Giglio preaching during the Chris Tomlin “How Great is Our God Tour” and he talks about the cell adhesion protein molecule “laminin”. It’s the “glue” that holds our cells together. When he puts this picture up on the big screen the crowd just claps and cheers when they see it. The pic on the left is the scientific diagram and the one on the right is the actual molecule under an electron microscope. The stuff that holds our bodies together is in the shape of the cross! He quotes the verse Colossians 1:17 “He (Christ) is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”
Another pic that he uses is the picture of the middle of the Whirlpool galaxy that is 31 million light years away. This image was captured by the Hubble telescope. God’s glory imprinted in the cosmos!
Amazing, huh. Go to 268generation.com to order the video. We worship a huge God. Psalm 33:6 “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host (stars).”

dONT mESS WITH iSRAEL by Rabbi Baruch Meir Clein
I recently came across some information regarding American-Israeli relations that I thought was worth sharing. I am not exactly sure what it all means, but I have learned enough in my life to know that there is no such thing as coinci-dences. The following is just a sampling with the real kicker at the end.
October 30, 1991: President Bush (1st one) opened the Madrid Conference, the intended purpose of which was to strip Israel of its land in exchange for 'peace'with the Palestinian Arabs. ON THAT VERY DAY, an extremely rare storm formed on the coast of Nova Scotia, a storm later named 'The Perfect Storm' (which the book and movie were about), and record-setting waves pounded the New England coast-causing heavy damage to the President's home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
August 23, 1992: The Madrid Conference moved to Washington, D.C. with the same agenda of attempting to wrest land from a sovereign country. That, of course, would create a state of homelessness for thousands of Jews. ON THAT VERY DAY, Hurricane Andrews produced an estimated $30 billion in damage, leaving 180,000 Floridians homeless. It was the worst natural disaster to ever hit America - at least up to that time.
January 16, 1994: President Clinton meets with the Syrian President in order to develop a strategy that would force Israel to give up the Golan Heights. LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks southern California, leaving countless Americans homeless.
March 1, 1997: Arafat begins a one-month tour of America and President Clinton publicly rebukes Israel for not surrendering land for peace. ON THAT VERY DAY, that Arafat lands in America, powerful tornadoes devastate huge sections of the country while ripping across Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Days later, as Arafat is still touring, storms hit the Dakotas, causing the worst flooding of the century. Weeks of storms rage throughout the Midwest until Arafat completes his tour. The day he leaves the U.S., the storms 'suddenly' begin to settle down, and end within a few days.
January 21, 1998: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with Clinton and is coldly received as President Clinton and Secretary of State Madeline Albright refuse to lunch with him. ON THAT VERY DAY, just hours later, the Monica Lewinski scandal erupts and will consume the major portion of Clinton's time for the remainder of his tenure.
Others include:

Others include:
- The World Trade Center Bombing of 1993, on the day that Secretary Albright leaves on a trip to visit 8 Arab/Muslim countries to develop a strategy against Israel.
- The Northridge Earthquake in 1994, on the day that President Clinton and Syrian President Assad demand that Israel turn the Golan Heights over to Syria. Ravaging tornadoes hit the Mid-West on the day in 2002 that Bush negotiates Arafat's release from Israeli capture.
- Hurricane Lili hitting the U.S. the same time in 2002 that Bush refuses to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem and refuses to recognize Jerusalem as the Capital.
But here, ladies and gents, is the kicker:
August of 2005 was the month when Sharon expelled the Jews of Gaza from their homes. Just about 10,000 Jews were made homeless, in accordance with the demands of the American President and his Secretary of State. The operation was being concluded on August 29.
ON THAT VERY DAY, America was hit by THE WORST natural disaster to have ever occurred in America. Hurricane Katrina hit the New Orleans area and just about 500,000 people were made homeless. 10,000 Jews out of a population of 6 million is a percentage of 0.00167. 500,000 Americans out of a population of 300 million is a percentage of 0.00167.
Like I said, I don't believe in coincidences. All I can say is that the next time this government comes down hard on our brethren over there, we all might want to duck for cover.

Behold, the Laminin of God
Laminin is a cell adhesion protein. The Wikipedia entry says a lot about it that I don't really understand, but one intelligible-even-to-non-geeks statement is that "Laminin is vital to making sure that your overall body structures hold together. If laminin isn't produced correctly, your muscles may form improperly, giving you a form of muscular dystrophy. Or you may just fall apart in a way similar to aging, a condition called 'progeria.'" Clearly, laminins "are an integral part of the structural scaffolding in almost every animal tissue."
I heard about laminin just this morning during lunch at the Bula Bistro.

Here a diagram of the molecular structure of laminin:
Look familiar?
Look familiar?
Laminin, gamma 2, also known as LAMC2, is a human gene.[1]Laminins, a family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, are the major noncollagenous constituent of basement membranes. They have been implicated in a wide variety of biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. Each laminin chain is a multidomain protein encoded by a distinct gene. Several isoforms of each chain have been described. Different alpha, beta and gamma chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery, i.e. alpha1beta1gamma1 heterotrimer is laminin 1. The biological functions of the different chains and trimer molecules are largely unknown, but some of the chains have been shown to differ with respect to their tissue distribution, presumably reflecting diverse functions in vivo. This gene encodes the gamma chain isoform laminin, gamma 2. The gamma 2 chain, formerly thought to be a truncated version of beta chain (B2t), is highly homologous to the gamma 1 chain; however, it lacks domain VI, and domains V, IV and III are shorter. It is expressed in several fetal tissues but differently from gamma 1, and is specifically localized to epithelial cells in skin, lung and kidney. The gamma 2 chain together with alpha 3 and beta 3 chains constitute laminin 5 (earlier known as kalinin), which is an integral part of the anchoring filaments that connect epithelial cells to the underlying basement membrane. The epithelium-specific expression of the gamma 2 chain implied its role as an epithelium attachment molecule, and mutations in this gene have been associated with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, a skin disease characterized[1]
Louis Giglio draws a connection between laminin's role in the body with how in Christ "all things hold together" (Col. 1:17). (video on YouTube). You can find references to this on a lot of blogs, but I thought it was fascinating and wanted to share it too . . . especially after Michael said, "Behold, the laminin of God!"
Also, laminin is "actually made up of three separate parts," or three different chains, per Wikipedia. I guess you could say it's a triune protein. I don't know enough about the molecular structure of proteins to know if that's unusual, but this protein seems to be another way that nature points to God . . . for those who have eyes to see.

HOODWINKING
For anyone with kids, grandkids other relatives or friends who this may concern, I have checked it out at: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp and it is true. Read the info on the link.
All,
There will be a new children's movie out in December called "The Golden Compass". The movie has been described as "atheism for kids" and is based on the first book of a trilogy entitled "His Dark Materials" that was written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the "Chronicles of Narnia". His motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis' symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series.
Clearly,
While "The Golden Compass" movie itself may seem mild and innocent, the books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young streetwise girl becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately defeat the oppressive forces of a senile God. Another character, an ex-nun, describes Christianity as "a very powerful and convincing mistake." In the final book, characters representing Adam and Eve eventually kill God, who at times is called YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse regarding
"The Golden Compass" is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas season (and staring Nicole Kidman), and will probably be heavily advertised. Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will take their children to see the movie, that they will enjoy the movie, and that the children will want the books for Christmas.
Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this information along to everyone you know (including church leaders). This will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the movie.
DIs be your Homie
