"My Home" a Short Essay by Dennis Henderson

As I examine the political season in the land that is called "America"; I find myself amazed at the blindness from the folks that call themselves Americans. True decrement or evaluation has lost its moral compass. The sheep has said: "They need no Master to guide their path"

What is meant by "a deceived mind" is a mind that has rejected all revelation from God and now has reached a point that it cannot understand the things of God. The Holy Bible mentions that there is truth available to all humans. If a person looks at creation he should surmise that God exists, and that He is both omnipotent and a wise God. Should humans live up to the knowledge that they have, God will make sure he gets more knowledge until he hears what he needs to hear to be saved.

However, the tendency of humanity, as all history shows, is to reduce the things he sees in creation into something he wants to worship. The tendency is to worship the created not the Creator. Therefore, society begins decline, moves down to immorality, and lastly culminates into spiritual blindness. Finally, God allows them up to self destruct . A People (Nation), that rejects the truth of God, will find themselves without a place to rest their head, and a people with out a country.

U.S. Involvement in Israel 'Peace Process ' = Devastating U.S Hurricanes?

Just approximately a week after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visits Israel and pressures them into signing a document that would divide Jerusalem (i.e., give away more land to the Palestinian State), we are once again in the harms way of an approaching hurricane that has the potential to be the most destructive hurricane in U.S. history. Call it coincidence if you want to, but there seems to be a pattern of the United States being afflicted by extremely devastating natural disasters every time we take major action to pressure Israel into giving up land. You may not see that as a big deal, but if you are a Bible believing Christian or a Torah observant Jew, then you should understand the warning that is in the scriptures regarding what happens when you try to take away land that was given to the Jews by God. The following 3 verses from the Bible explains God's position on Israel:

Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
-Genesis 12:1-3 (New King James Version)

I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land,
-Joel 3:2 (English Standard Version)

It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
-Zechariah 12:9 (New King James Version)

Still not convinced? Let me try to put this into perspective based on what has occurred in the very recent past. The following is just a very small example of how the most costly natural disasters in the United States took place right after we have, one way, or another, pressured Israel into giving up land. Surely you recall the devastation caused by both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005? Those disasters are just a small, but a very real and tangible example of how the U.S. involvement in the Israeli "Peace Process" has preceded costly devastation in the U.S:

1. August, 2005, the Gaza Strip is given to the Palestinian State Resulting in 10,000 Jews losing their homes
   • The Gaza pullout was completed on 8/22/05
   • Hurricane Katrina then strikes exactly one week later on 8/29/05
2. September 2005
   • Early September 2005, Secretary Rice visits Israel and directs that they must give up more land and go back to the 1969 borders.
   • September 2005, Hurricane Rita makes landfall in the United States.

For further information on this, please take a look at the following links. Also, please pray for the safety of the people who are in harms way of Hurricane Gustav.

Palestinian media: Rice urging division of Jerusalem, Aug 29, 2008

JERUSALEM – In her visit here earlier this week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pressed Israel to sign a document by the end of the year that would divide Jerusalem by offering the Palestinians a state in Israel's capital city as well as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to multiple reports yesterday in major official Palestinian Authority media outlets.

Gaza Pullout | Hurricane Katrina

Was the Hurricane Katrina evacuation with the loss of property and homes a direct parallel to the Gaza pullout (where a large number of Jews were involuntarily displaced), which was completed exactly one week prior to Hurricane Katrina making landfall? There are astonishing evidence of this being the case.

Is Hurricane Gustav possibly correlated with God's judgment on America due to our continual willful pressure on Israel to give up land as part of the supposed "Peace Process"? See what was occurring in 2005 which was the same year Hurricane Katrina caused so much devastation to the gulf coast area of the United States.

Is Hurricane Gustav possibly correlated with God's judgment on America due to our continual willful pressure on Israel to give up land as part of the supposed "Peace Process"? See evidence of this being the case with past hurricanes and disasters in the U.S., including Hurricane Katrina.

Film Clip from Nova: Lost Tribes of Israel

visit videodetective.com for more info

This is an episode that I would love to see but can't because it isn't available anywhere online, except for this video clip and is not available on DVD nor will be shown on tv anytime soon. The VHS version sometimes is available at amazon.com marketplace, but only used and is pretty expensive. After seeing their companion website at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/, I really would like to see the show...after all, I am tired of the unreliable sources coming from the religious cults such as the Mormons and those who teach British-Israelism (British-Israelism groups have this crazy idea that the British and the American people are actually from the tribes of Ephraim & Manasseh with absolutely no historical/archaeological proof). Oh well...the 1.30 clip will have to do. :-(

Actually, there is another excellent video out there; Quest for the Lost Tribes directed by Simcha Jacobvici. This is an excellent video with tremendous amount of evidence shown in this documentary:

"The Spirit of Antichrist Moves Among Us" by Terry James

John the apostle’s words are ringing louder and more succinctly than ever in the senses of those alert to the deceptive siren song of replacement theology.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us” (1 Jn 2:18-19).

It was already the “last time” when John wrote this under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The apostle who was so close to Jesus told us just how near is Christ’s return. Even though it has been almost two millennia, in God’s economy of time that is nothing. Proof of it being the last time was the fact that there were many antichrists in and around Jerusalem. The coming of Antichrist–the final, ultimate antichrist, was on the way. But, John goes on to say: "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world…” (1 Jn. 4:3).

Many, following the crucifixion of Christ, were at first claiming they believed that Jesus had been the Jews’ Messiah. They seemed genuine followers of Jesus among the true believers for a time. But, the further away the time of Christ’s death, burial, and well-known resurrection got, the more these drifted away from the truth that indeed Jesus of Nazareth had come into Jewish flesh–the God/man—to die on the cross, thus to provide a once-and-for-all sacrifice for sin.

Now, these who had claimed to be a part of the body of believers were feeling the pressures and heat of the atmospherics surrounding the Ressurection. The Romans would tolerate no god but Caesar. The Jewish high-minded religionists persecuted and pursued all who accepted, followed, and worshipped this imposter Jew who had claimed to be Israel’s Messiah. The Judaizer Saul, of course, was one who persecuted true believers, but who would soon become Christ’s most fervent evangelist.

John said, again, under inspiration of God the Holy Spirit, that this denial that Jesus had come in the flesh–as a Jew—the God/man to seek and save the lost, were “antichrists”. They had the "antichrist” spirit.

This “spirit of antichrist” is more and more in view today. This comes to my attention not just on a weekly basis these days, but on a daily, even hourly, basis. There is a massive denial among those who say they are part of Christ that Israel, the Jews in the modern nation and around the world, are any part of God’s plans for the restoration of all things. As a matter of fact, many of these attribute the terms “Jew” and God’s promises to that people to themselves. They go so far, in some cases, as to attribute the designation “Israel” to the nations of, for example, Great Britain and the United States. They are, they say, part of the 10 lost tribes of Israel. They, in other words, claim that they and/or these nations are the true Jews, and that the people who claim to be Jews are–well, like those of the Antichrist spirit in John’s day claimed Jesus to be–imposters.

These are doing the same thing that the Judaizers–the hierarchy of the Jewish religionists—were doing in John’s day. They are denying linkage between the Jews and God’s coming to earth in the form of Jesus the Christ. This is a denial that Christ has come in the flesh–Jewish flesh. This is the spirit of antichrist.

This “spirit” is the one that caused the progeny of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to be pursued, hated, and murdered down through the centuries. This is the “spirit” that Satan has used to rage against the chosen people since the promise of the seed that would be raised to destroy him (Gen. 3:15).

It is the spirit of antichrist that boils within Islam today. It is the spirit of antichrist that brought Hitler’s holocaust to the flesh and blood Jews–a thing that, unbelievably, is being denied as ever having happened by those who claim to be Christians.

And this is the reason for my rant in this commentary. The following excerpt is from one of many I get from around the world–most claiming to be Christians, and, I might add, to be the true Jews today–replacing the Jews that can claim genetic ties to Jacob, who became Israel.

The diatribe was much longer than I can devote to this limited space. But, this is the gist, and typical of what I get incessantly these days from those who say we who believe in the rapture, and who support the rights of a phony Israel to exist are, well, headed for a devil’s hell. The person sending this follows a “ministry” that holds to the British Israel theory, or to a theory that the Church has replaced the Jews–modern Israel—in God’s promises. He tells about a man who gives the following “testimony”:

“I have done my own research, and I have been to the concentration camp Dachau four times; once in college, and three times when I was in the military. I had some problems with what I saw, and with what I was told. I am going to attempt to clarify myself hopefully in an outline that is understandable.

First: 1) I stood in what I was told was the gas chamber; but it was concealed as a large shower room. One question I had was very simple. Why would the Germans use a shower to conceal the gas chamber? If your going to kill the people with gas; then just do it, don't try to disguise it. There I stood in the middle of this large room looking at the shower heads; and I could smell gas; but was it coming from a vent, an outside source, or what. I couldn't tell. I thought this was somewhat strange. I even went outside the building looking for an outside source, or some kind of piping that would funnel any foreign objects into the building, but I couldn't find any. Actually, the gas smelled like the gas that came from the canisters that we used in combat training when I was in the military.

It wasn't until 12 years later when I was in the Air National Guard; and I went to Widmund Germany to support a Tactical Command fighter unit out of North Carolina, that I really started questioning what I was told earlier. I was in a combat communications unit, and in 1985 I had to go to the Air Force combat communications training school at Tinker AFB Oklahoma…

I went through training in the classroom; being trained in CPR, First Aid, Geneva Convention, and so forth, and then I went out into the field for three weeks training in combat.

This was the first time I was ever in the full MOP suite (gas mask, boots, and the entire ensemble) while in training. I was in a fox hole for six hours under the hot Oklahoma sun. One thing I was taught was that in order to have a successful gas attack; there has to be nearly perfect weather conditions.

In other words, to much wind could blow the gas that you directed at another country right back at you; and also, the rain has a way of dissolving or nullifying chemical, bacterial, and nuclear gas agents. One thing I learned was that water and steam could very well nullify any gas in the area. I started thinking, than how could the German's gas the Jews while they were taking showers?. They couldn't, the water and steam would dissolve the gas to the point that the gas would be neutralized.

I realize that it is a terrible thing to come against the Jews; after all, wasn't Jesus Christ a Jew? Wasn't the Jews God's chosen people? And wasn't the Word of God given to the Jews for them to study, and use to bring the light of the Gospel to the world? The answer of course is, NO!!!…”

This same “spirit of Antichrist” is flagrant among those who claim devotion to Christ. It is the denial of the flesh and blood people –the “chosen people”—into which the son of God was born. It is this spirit that will bring about the ultimate beast –the Antichrist. Jeremiah spoke to this in his prophecy about Israel during the Tribulation: “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jer. 30:7).

The spirit of antichrist is on a rampage, even in subdued ways among the Church, by refusing to address the hatred coming against modern Israel. It does, indeed, tell us where we are on God’s prophetic timeline.

Todd Bentley: The 'spirit-controlled' Evangelist...But controlled by whom???

for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. (Mar 13:22 ASV)

The very thought that masses of people, to include major Christian leaders, are being deceived by Todd Bentley and the 'signs and wonders' of the Lakeland Revival is absolutely horrifying!!!!!! I don't know how else to say this, but, Todd Bentley is clearly under some form of demonic influence and the following Youtube videos provide compelling evidence for the un-holy manifestations emanating from Todd Bentley. Sadly, not only is Todd deceiving thousands of unknowing victims of this scam (to include himself); unfortunately, enough of our Christian leaders have bought into this deception (hook, line and sinker) and are spreading it around like wild fire. (See: Leaders Commission Todd Bentley at ‘Lakeland Outpouring’ and Lakeland Outpouring Coming to Your City? - Christian World News - CBN News)

If you are one of those convinced that Todd Bentley's revivals are for real, please take the time to see what is truly going on behind the so-called revivals:

On a radio talk show on Christian Worldview Network, host Brannon Howse interviews Messianic apologist, Jan Markell about Todd Bentley and the Lakeland 'revival'. "Bentley refers to his angel as 'the angel of the Lord' and also waits upon Emma for the signs and wonders to manifest. Is this 'revival' of the Lord or of Satan?""

Ex-Soviet Leader Gorbachev Admits He is Christian | Christianpost.com

Ex-Soviet Leader Gorbachev Admits He is Christian | Christianpost.com: "Mikhail Gorbachev, the last communist leader of the Soviet Union, admitted publicly for the first time on Wednesday that he is a Christian.

Rumors had circulated for decades that Gorbachev was a “closet Christian,” but it was only confirmed yesterday when he made a surprise visit with his daughter Irina to pray at the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy."

This is wonderful news if former Soviet leader, Gorbachev actually accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Unfortunately, many claim to be Christians, but have never been truly "born again" (Matthew 7:14) by the repentance of sins and receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Click here for more info).

Of course, only God knows the heart of Mr. Gorbachev, but in another article, Mr. Gorbachev is quoted as saying:

"'St Francis is, for me, the alter Christus, the other Christ,' said Mr Gorbachev. 'His story fascinates me and has played a fundamental role in my life,' he added."
--Mikhail Gorbachev admits he is a Christian - Telegraph

The above statement is definitely a cause for concern since there is only one Christ, Jesus Christ. To pray or worship anyone but the triune God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (In other words, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 14:26; Matthew 28:18-19)) is truly blasphemous. To refer to St Francis as "the other Christ" is essentially the same thing as calling St Francis a god.

But, once again, only God truly knows the heart of Mr. Gorbachev, and therefore, I am in no position to determine if he is saved or not. However, I can say that I do remember Mr. Gorbachev when he was the Soviet leader and how noticeably different he was from his predecessors in the way he carried himself; He actually seemed genuinely interested in knowing more about western democracy. I have no doubt that Mr. Gorbachev was moved by President Reagan's challenge:

General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
