Just wondered if anyone else out there felt the way I do...I mean, you watch all of these events unfold around the world, i.e., increased seismic activity & severe weather, increased vulnerability to terrorists attacks at home, rising oil, gas, food prices and a call for ever more concentration of world power into the "New World Order" (UN?) to better handle such crises, the Pope jaunting around the world with the message, "unify, unify, unify" - you see all these pieces falling into to place and don't you sometimes just want to scream out to others - "Wake up and open your eyes! Things are happening now that you need to be aware of. We need to get ready and be prepared. for what's going to follow."

Although many will admit that there seems to be "something" in the air - a feeling that something is coming, most people are just oblivious. What's more, if you open your mouth and dare to use phrases like, "end times events," or talk about The Book of Revelation," people just look at you like your nuts.

Just wondered what others on the forum were doing to cope with it all. Is it just "business as usual" from 9 to 5 or are you trying to speak out (to those that might listen anyway)? What have you found is the best way to broach the subject? What kind of reactions are you getting?

Just curious.

Its something I have been wrestling with Yada...

HOW do we tell people, because there is sooo much deception and "end of the world" cults about that as a minority thats what we would be viewed as... 50 years ago we might have been able to get a following from preaching on the street or dropping information through doors, but people are more cinical and wary now because of everything that is going on.

The only way I can see us being useful is if Yah comes and does it with us. Then we will beable to go where He leads and be Him to the people... we are crap on our own no matter how great the argument, but if we are able to walk out there with Yah - as the apostles did, like moses had when He came down from the mountain, THEN we could show that there is something different. Instead of meeting some crazy loon on the street, people would have to deal with Yah. Thats harder to dismiss, although it still will be, but then people will get a real choice.

Thats my personal thoughts on it at the moment :) So much to do, so little time.

"Quick! Take cover! We gotta do sumpthin' fast, people, as the sky is falling!"

Chicken Little

"Nah, it's just another false cry of 'Wolf'... don't bother!"

Townsfolk

The signs that are there for us to see seems so obvious, but the people say that it is what the Jews said in 70CE when Jerusalem was destroyed, and what the smaller denominations and cults said in the 1960s during the Cold War with hundreds of nuclear bombs literally hovering over the world. If it did not happen then, why should it happen now when more people are prospering, there is no Cold War, and the channels of communication are more open than ever before? It's just the ravings of some fringe cultists...

However, there are some people who seem to sense the season we are in... we need to reach out to them. If they belong to Abba Yahweh, they may listen to His voice, so we must try despite the skeptics around us. Imagine what Noah and family must have gone through for decades living amidst a wicked, unbelieving population... it's much the same.

Whenever possible, I chat with my friends and acquaintances about these perilous times. I raise the issue about knowing the identity of our Creator. I tell them about Yeshahayu 42:8 and Shemoth 20:7. I tell them of the increasing number of nuclear rods in Iran and their government's willingness to martyr the whole country in the ultimate jihad act. We need to just keep communicating, according to each of our circumstances. Some are in a position to shout out loud, some of us must whisper into ears. But we must start somewhere, and usually it is with self, then friends and family.

Like Robski says, so little time to do so much. The enormity of it is staggering but we must start somewhere. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time...

Thanks: 4 times
I know what you mean. Many Christians are aware of the end times and understand the future events in a Left Behind level teaching ut at least trust at some level God is in control. I've found at least some interest among these in considering Future History with most being intimidated by the size of the work. I'm hoping that having this on audio will help and pray that this out reach will create a thrist to Yada Yahuweh.

Among the secular world here in the US it seems that the most talked about future apocolyopse given attention to is not even Islamic terror, rather Man-Made Global Warming. Talk about the sky falling. With 9-11-2001 becoming increasingly distant in memory and I trust an eventual realization that Global Warming is not occuring as projected prehaps eyes will be openned to what is truly going on.

I'm glad you guys are talking about this. It has been weighing heavy on my mind lately, but then how could it not be?!
I believe Yah does want to use us to reach out to people about this. I am getting a similar reaction, when the subject is mentioned amongst friends, they have the "your nuts" expression on their faces... but it's sometimes hard to take the information we have and put it into words to explain it to them properly(at least for me)
Don't the scriptures say that during these times we will dream dreams and have visions about what is to come and our children will prophecy in those days. Aren't those days these days? Isn't He talking about us and our kids? It's exciting stuff, but I keep wondering how He wants to use us exactly. Does He want us to write books that potentially turn into movies... create websites... write songs.. ?? All to reach out to a broader audience, of course not neglecting the smaller audience of friends and family, etc.. I'm thinking out loud.. I think He had us read works such as YY & FH most importantly because He wanted us to get to know Him personally and to know the Truth, but also so He can use us as instruments so He can reach more people with the truth. I'm seeing a shift in people... from religion to relationship, so I know there is a calling of people who are at least on the right track. I'm not going to rush into anything because I know His timing is perfect, but I'm going to continue to ask Yah what to do and when He tells me what it is, I'm going to do it. It's the least we could do. That's my thoughts..

One thing that drives me nuts is this Big Brother feeling of the eyes of Pollitical Correctness watching us. It's like as if we need to tread lightly, especially with those always around us, our friends, families and work mates. Crazy! I just want to shout it out but PC is drowning us out.

What scares me even more is the biased, unbridled, irrational, violent, and hateful jumping of the gun that is in the media now. Everyone assumes the worst of each other now and nobody asks for clarifications. Case in point. I am NOOOOOO FAN of Hillary Clinton (understatement of the year), but fair is fair. When asked about why she was still in the campaign she gave the now famous Robert Kennedy answer. The media interpreted her meaning was that who knows ol' Barak Hussein might get bumped off. AND WE ALL KNOW HE'S BLACK...so somehow she was also racially insensitive. I would like to know if there are any direct quotations in the Good Book about the spiritual state of one who perpetually takes offense. A great number of people in the "developed world" live by the maxim. "I am offended therefore I am." She was presenting a historical fact that there was still a primary going on in June (the time that Kennedy was assassinated). Once again she was talking about the historical precedent of a primary going into the June month (and by implication who knows how long it would have gone on...had Kennedy not been killed by Sirhan Sirhan...btw...proving that hate for Israel is not just a Muslim problem) NOT 'Obama's probably gonna get killed'. By the way Kennedy was in second place at the time of his assasination by a significant margin...and still decided to stay in the race...so in actuality...Hillary's comments weren't talking about Obama getting killed...but rather they were about her getting killed in June!!!! Whoa....brain freeze!!!! Here is a little taste of the media reaction to Mrs. Clinton's comments by my favorite Gassbag, Keith Olbermann

http://youtube.com/watch?v=J8CsQyr6vlc

The fact of the matter is Kennedy was assasinated...what should she have said? Kennedy was roughly relieved of his life due to a disagreement over politics. Could she have said something better or "more sensitive" probably...especially since we live in a time of Keith Olbermanns. This man is a good example of humanity unrestrained by the Ruach...get used to it Earth. You could almost see the his liver flop out of his mouth...did you see the bile at the corners of his lips? He said he forgave Clinton for all of her mistakes...I don't honestly think that Olbermann has a forgiving bone in his body...and I don't make this assumption by this single instance...the guy proves over and over again that he is a spiteful kook...and btw if Olbermann wants to see Lunatic Fringe...he can look in the Mirror...not the pages of the Tribune Review of Pittsburgh...what was it Yahushua said about removing a plank from somewhere...oh the eye...that's right....but I think in Olbermann's case he might try his Posterior first...did I overstep?

Amazing! There are actually Americans here that remember history and think that other Americans should remember history! In a world bent on self-destruction, people rather recall inane trivia about Paris Hilton's immodesty bouts or Lindsay Lohan's sorry affections and whether boy bands will return to flavour of the month. Let's see... the rag mags out there yell for attention showcasing shiny psychedelic covers, the boob tube blasts bad news tempered with unabashed hope sprinkled with a litany of political correctness, the web wages war on God-worshippers while peddling porn profusely, newspapers pretend that not all is lost as long as we have the human spirit and they can sell their soul pages for advertising moolah, and we have politicians pleading past positions as potential possibilities piddling down to racist propaganda... especially in my part of the world where the ex-prime minister continues to espouse racist idealogies akin to apartheid and nobody significant seems to want to correct him... Yep, the world sure is an exciting place to live in today...

Good responses. I don't see political correctness as a big problem. why? because if I see it as a big problem then I am seeing Yahweh as a small elohim. but if I see Him as He is, then this and all problems will seem small, even insignificant when I remain focused on Him. Also, I won't fear what's going on in the world because we can't fear anything. Fear and faith can't be in the same room together... as soon as fear walks in, faith immediately walks out. Satan is using PC in a big way, but look who he's up against. It's like a gnat flying next to a jumbo jet and saying "come fly with me".
What I like about hearing from you guys is that there are responses from all over the world and it is great to see the perspective of the local people of the different countries instead of just what you might see on tv with the biased media opinions.

I recently phoned a nationwide, (and Canadian), nightly, (Mon-Fri), radio broadcast. The "What's Right, What's Left, Voice of the Christian Resistance" radio show hosted by Pastor Ernie Sanders. He's a KJV prototypical Christian religionists. I gave him the whole story. Yah's miqria, Daniel's 70 weeks of years, Hosea's Chap 6:1-2, the Psalmists/Peter "one days is as a thousand years" passage, explained KP's gap theory, (which is not a theory as far as I'm concerned). He tried to cut me off at mid point and again at a commercial break. To his credit he allowed me to continue my point after the break, allbeit with heavey sighs in the mic which is his way of telling his auduence that he's less than enthralled. After my epistle, hahaha, he deems all my points "wrong". He interpreted Pauls advice to the Thessalonians as not to be concerned with the timing of "End Times" events. By this time he'd hung up the phone and I was unable to respond to his reply. Probably would've done no good anyway.

I've listened to this fella for years and his show has been on air for nearly 30, all listener sponsored. I've a high regard for him as he's done much good in the Right to Life arena as well as his death row ministry. However, I've noticed a pronounced hostility to YY by the WR,WL ministry. YY was deemed heretical, (which actually it is), "the guy, (Yada), is an evolutionist, profane, and has no respect for the christian religion". Except for the profane part, this is actually correct figuring DNA partitioning to be micro-evolution.
So the point to all of this is, once again, "they will not believe even though one were to rise from the dead."

Hello Steve,

When I read your latest post, I just had to forward it to Yada. This was his response:

Quote:
I'll be out all day with my eldest son today but wanted you to know how much I appreciated this effort, attitude, and letter. It's one of my favorites. I love HS. Great job. He is using the evidence in YY just as it was intended and the religious type he talked to is responding exactly as anticipated.

It's a pleasure being a co-heretic.

"the guy, (Yada), is an evolutionist, profane, and has no respect for the christian religion".


That's about the funniest thing I've ever read. Up is down, black is white, and words mean nothing. (1) By saying Yada is an evolutionist, he's actually saying, "Winn doesn't believe that the universe was created in 6,000 years. He therefore MUST believe in undirected Darwinian-style evolutionary theory." He can't see the falacy in his own argument. But if you get into what the Hebrew words really mean, as Yada has, you discover that Yahweh "created" things (i.e., "out of nothing") very sporadically. The real data of the earth's history appears to be just as Genesis presented it: different basic life forms were formed by God and introduced at various stages, as the earth became ready to support them. Within these "kinds" (as its worded in the KJV) they were free to "evolve"---which only means that there is wiggle room in the DNA, in the genome Yahweh created for each life form He introduced, but only within strict limits. If that's "evolution," then I'm the Sultan of Brunei.

(2) Profane? He must be using a different dictionary than the rest of us. Let's see...Ah. Here it is: "Profane, adj. Spiritually astute, dedicated to disseminating Yahweh's truth with boldness and courage; gifted with insight."

(3) No respect for the Christian religion? Well, okay, one out of three ain't bad. Yada, of course, has respect only for the God whom the "Christian religion" claims to worship, but whose Word they pervert at every turn. The real question is, "Why can't Ernie Sanders see that 'respecting the Christian religion'---in lieu of fostering a relationship with Yahweh---is a bad thing?"

Last Sunday morning I was in McDonalds. Another fella was leaving who'd been reading a small local paper which he was about to throw in the trash. I ask him if I could have it, he said sure and also gave me a religious tract as he was a local Baptist minister. I told him about YY. He said he'd check it out. About an hour or so ago I saw him in the library parking lot. Of course the first thing I asked was if he'd scoped out YY. He had'nt, ("no time"). He asked me if I was saved and invited me to his church. Big mistake, although I realise he meant well. We had a friendly discussion in the parking lot as I conveyed scripture via YY and he conveyed the garden variety christian church dogma.
It's actually a rather interesting phenomena. We're both genuinely concerned for the others eternal destiny yet on so many issues we're diametrically opposed. As usual, he was unwilling to give YY a fair hearing, "I don't have the time". This is very frustrating and actually makes my heart ache.
I'm tempted to attend his church only to convey the truth. There's no way I could accept church/christian dogma. However, since Sunday worship is idolatrous I guess that idea is out.

What Sanders said about Yada reminds me that there are 2 types of people visiting YY. Those who are earnestly seeking the Truth about their Creator and are willing to forget what they've learned and open up to the Truth in his word... and those who look to defend their religion and what they have already been taught. My prayer is again that Yah will take the blinders off more people so they seek Truth. Even if they disagree at first, let them search the original meanings for themselves, let them come on the forum and debate us.. when I came to YY I was seeking to know Yahweh, not to form an opinion about the commentary but to learn more about the Truth from the One who inspired the scriptures. It's not important if we agree w/ anything Yada or any man says, it's only important that we know the Truth about Yahweh. It's hard to swallow for most people but if we ask Yahweh to reveal Himself, that's exactly what He does. He doesn't tell us what we want to hear - just the Truth. He is amazing and I'm glad I can interact w/ people who's highest priority is to know Him.

"He doesn't tell us what we want to hear - just the Truth. He is amazing and I'm glad I can interact w/ people who's highest priority is to know Him." Hear, hear! In this we are agreed. Not many want to find out as it may be "inconvenient" to know. So His message is for those whom He has called and who are imbued with His Set-Apart Spirit and who are willing to be led by Him. It's not just "entertainment" for us, being here, though I do try sometimes especially in my Weekly Stories posts.

My radio presentation concerning Yah's Miqra etc., (and the resulting "it's wrong" judgement), was recent, the negative comments concerning YY and Yada were not. That event actually occurred in late summer/early fall of '06 shortly after I'd discovered YY on the web. The very instant I'd discovered YY I just KNEW it was true, and this after christian propagandizing for the first 18 years of my life, (I grew up a Nazarene, it didn't really take).
I'd listened to Sanders for several years and thought he was the man. So I figured he'd be interested in YY. The night I called, (in '06), was a Monday. That's his pro-life night when he's accompanied by his assistant pastor Dale Henkle. Henkle is an extraordinary biblical technician. He can cite most any chap and verse from memory. He is also somewhat of a spark plug which is probably a necessity as he posts abortuaries full time around the country as well as sodomite parades. Not surprisingly, he endures much abuse at the hands of the baby killers, police depts, (who are invariably on the take from the abortionists), and the boyfriends of the young girls, (many if not most are underaged), who are frequently forced to kill their babies by their boy friends who want to avoid child support payments.
Since I'd previously called from time to time they, (Henkle/Sanders), knew me, plus I'd also sent him 100 bucks on one occasion. I asked Henkle if he'd check out YY which he did. He was on the phone to the radio show the following night. It was then that YY/Yada was deemed heretical, etc. Another listener phoned in and said YY was a "cult" which I found rather odd since YY neither solicits money, promotes a religion nor a religious cleric/personailty.
This was my first effort at promoting, for lack of a better word, the YY thesis. Every effort so far has met with similar results. Of course this merely stiffens my resolve.

Nearly a year ago I phoned Sanders' radio broadcast and began explaining to him what "the Lord" actually meant. Naturally this didn't fly as the "the Lord" is probably his fav expression. He apparently ruminated on this for a few days as he addressed the issue again a few nights later. He cited a passage, forget which one, supporting his position and then said that "this will answer those who are obsessed with the word Yahweh". When I heard what he'd said I knew he was in trouble as he disparaged and attempted to diminish the personal and proper name of our Creator by relegating respect and reverence for His name to a psychiatric condition.

Yah knows diminish.

After 30+ years of 3 hours per night, 5 nights per week, Sanders' lost one hour of time the following night and another half hour the next night. He's never recovered his lost time, (50% of his broadcast), and has been scrambling for funds to keep his remaining time ever since.

Coincidence? If you say so...

Hi Icy,
I thought I'd do the Nathan routine and wait a year, (did'nt Nathan wait a year before confronting David regarding Bathsheeba and her by then dead, in effect murdered, hubby?).
At any rate, I've since dumped my phone.
