* THANKSGIVING IN THE UNITED STATES

 This Thanksgiving I thought it worthwhile to send again the following short piece which has been sent out at several previous Thanksgivings. 

   
I also think it good to reflect on these scriptures at this time:
 
I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. (Psalm 69:30)
 
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. (Psalm 95:2 )
 
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6 )
 
 
 
 
THE HISTORY OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY IN THE US
 
 
Throughout the 1700’s individual colonies evidently held periodic days or times of thanksgiving.  Thomas Jefferson did this while governor of Virginia.
 
In 1777 right in the middle of the Revolutionary War the Colonial Congress recommended a day of thanksgiving.
 
In 1789, the first year of the first presidency of the US under the new Constitution, George Washington issued a proclamation establishing a day of thanksgiving that year.  Here are a few of his words from the proclamation: 
 
  • it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour…
  • I do recommend and assign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be…
  • we may … unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions
Abraham Lincoln finally established legally the annual holiday we observe on the fourth Thursday of November each year.  Here are a few words from his proclamation:
 
I do …invite my fellow citizens …to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.
 
May all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and offer thanks then – and everyday – just as these great past leaders of the nation led the nation in doing.

WATCHMAN WARNING: THE FUNDAMENTAL THREAT TO ALL ON EARTH THESE LAST DAYS

 

When Arab Muslims rode forth from Arabia after Mohammed had died many centuries ago, they took Islam to the world.  They focused on areas near to them, riding and conquering the northern African nations before moving across into Spain.  Always, fundamentally, it was convert or die.

Thanks to the French leader Charles Martel, this attacking hoard was stopped in Tours France, and Europe and the West survived to bring about the modern word.  But the Muslim goal has never gone away.

Now in our day more and more Muslims steadily move into all the western nations and elsewhere, establishing roots, having children.  And the naïve residents just let it all happen.  So in England there is a Muslim mayor of London.  And NY City now has the same.  The real fear for NY City is not that the new mayor is a socialist; it is that he is a Muslim.

In places in Europe sharia law effectively is already enforced. 

Slowly but surely, illegal and legal Muslim immigrants have invaded France, and Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and Germany, and Sweden, and so on.  Widespread assaults on women become the norm, assaults that the elected authorities there amazingly just will not clamp down on.  Evidently they are too frightened and intimidated by these Muslim immigrants or too fundamentally ignorant of what is going on.  Surprisingly the citizens are just too meek or too stupid to rise up and respond, as is their government, and their nations are being lost.  They just can’t seem to grasp what is happening or be willing to pay the necessary cost to confront it.

And now in the US certain pockets have already been taken over, like Dearborn Michigan.  There are places in Dearborn where the Muslim call to prayer five times a day is heard loudly.    That is under consideration elsewhere as well.  Imagine hearing the blaring, loud, shattering call to Muslin prayer blasted out everywhere from a minaret in your town.  I have experienced that blaring call in several Arabian cities, followed by the religious police searching to make sure the Arabs go to the mosque.

This movement is not our culture, not our truth, not our God.  This centuries old Muslim movement  wants to take over.  Quite obviously it is of the devil.  The Muslim god is not God, the creator of the universe.  There is no great love and forgiveness in the Koran.  And gullible naïve westerners – both everyday people and leaders - continue to just focus on their narrow personal worlds as their entire nations and societies are being taken over. 

Yes, individual Muslims you may know can be warm and friendly.  But yes too, Islam, the most successful of the false religions, continues its goal of world domination.  Convert or die.  The devil never stops.  He will not, until the end of this age. Everywhere steady progress is being made by the Muslims, sometimes violently, sometimes quietly.

With all this as background, I tell you now in these very clear words – this is how the one world government of the Antichrist comes about soon during the Tribulation. 

Let me share now this revelation:

The Antichrist is a Muslim Arab.  Not someone from Europe as so many have supposed over the years.  How do I know?   The Lord told me.  Very clearly in very specific words.

Several years ago late one day my wife Cathy and I sat in our ministry office in Wilmington NC praying.  Suddenly, as he is apt to do at times, the Lord spoke to me and said the Antichrist is a Muslim, an Arab from an Arab country. 

The Lord went further.  He said that I know him.  Now I don’t know a name and I don’t know to whom the Lord was referring.   But I have worked with many Muslims several decades ago, in Saudi Arabia and Egypt and the Sudan.  And I have been thinking about all this ever since, but so far I cannot think who it might be and the Lord has not told me.  But I do share this for you to think and pray about. 

[You might be interested – just after the Lord told me this and I had shared it with Cathy, suddenly the outside metal door to our office shook violently for several seconds.  It was as if someone was shaking it by the outside door handle.  We were really startled.  It was night and no one was in the parking lot outside.  I checked through the windows and no one was there.  I checked the back of the office too, and no one was there.  Clearly the evil one did not like our conversation.]

One other confirming message from God on the Antichrist:  About twenty years ago I was in a television studio waiting to appear as a guest on a program.  At the moment taping was underway of a woman hosting a program on Israel that at the time I think was on Daystar.  I stood in the dark in the wings watching it all.  Soon the taping was finished.  The woman host got up and walked over to me.  She was carrying an old VHS video tape.  The woman said, “I was supposed to bring this tape today.  I think it is for you.”  I had never seen her before.  The tape was titled Unveiling the Man of Sin and identified the Antichrist as an Arab Muslim!

Our world right now is under great attack from the evil one.  There are lost, ungodly delusional people operating as true anarchists in the US and elsewhere in the world now, seeking to uproot and destroy law and order and government and such.  And then there is this giant Muslim movement everywhere leading to ever greater world control and the one world government..

The Lord will soon come to take his believers away.  The Antichrist, a Muslim Arab from an Arab country, will then step out and lead Israel into an agreement.  This is as described in Daniel 9:27.   When that agreement is made, the seven year Tribulation will begin.
