God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

Jim Rogers on Civil Unrest in U.S.

In this video, Jim Rogers talks about the trouble the U.S. faces, and the resultant civil unrest that will ultimately come. He talked about this in the middle of March 2011, to show he saw this coming before it started to happen.

As always when listening to Rogers talk, keep in mind the principles behind his reasoning, as that is where the gold is. Understand those principles, and you'll understand a lot better the forces behind how this world is currently operating, and where they will bring us to.



Rogers says:

These are economic hard times. They need to understand what is happening. This is not a time to buy anything. The only sector where the fundamentals are improving is commodities. Oil reserves are declining. If you need to own something, you should learn about commodities and buy accordingly.

If we could time the markets, we would be very very rich. Otherwise look at the long term trends. Farming is going to be a very big business.

Agricultural commodities are going to do better than others. Most are still significantly below their all time highs. There will be civil unrest in the United States very soon. Cash is an alternative to purchasing commodities if you think that the situation is too perilous. People are covering their shorts and that is putting a lot of buying pressure on the dollar.

These are perilous time, and we should expect to see more civil unrest. Japan has huge reserves and they are the largest creditor nation. Asian is filled with creditor nations, and in the past the world center has always moved to where the money is.

Jim Rogers on How the Fed Creates Problems

Jim Rogers talks on Breakout how the Federal Reserve doesn't solve problems, but rather creates even more of them, and bigger ones.

Grasping New Jerusalem


In the Lord's and my continual battle against all that takes away from Christ being preeminent (surpassing and above all others), it's important to have at least a basic understanding of what New Jerusalem stands for, as it's much more foundational and important than being relegated to some type of focus of the end times.

It goes infinitely beyond so-called end times teaching, although it does relate in the sense of a growing of Jesus Christ in His people in history, which is really what New Jerusalem is all about.

Strangely and wrongly, there are a large number of those professing Christ who consider the earth as their mother, and not New Jerusalem. We only have one mother according to the Bible, and that is identified as New Jerusalem. So it's important that we comprehend what New Jerusalem is, in order to know whether or not we've been birthed from her.

I'm just going to focus on several elements revealed in New Jerusalem in the revelation of Jesus Christ.

First, New Jerusalem is identified as the bride of Christ coming down out of heaven. This points to the fact that the bride of Christ is based upon that which is coming out of heaven.

Keep in mind that much of the mystery of the Bible is culminated in the revelation of Christ residing in people; individually and corporately. That is in truth what a Christian is, and there are fewer of them than supposed, as that is determined by much more than someone repeating a so-called sinner's prayer.

So there is a wall with precious stones, a throne, the Lamb, a tree, a river and a street. At least those are the major parts of the bride of the Lamp, although there are other important parts of her to consider.

Note that all of what is identified in Revelation 21 and 22 as the bride of the Lamb, is located within the walls, other than those precious stones which were the people being seen from the outside.

But what made the stones precious was what on the inside of her, not what was viewed from the outside.

The most important thing to understand is New Jerusalem is something heavenly working within the true people of Christ. People born from above, which through time grows increasingly into the image of Jesus Himself, which is what the eternal purpose is all about, and what the reason for the creation of mankind was for.

Within this heavenly bride is a throne, tree, river and path or street. These are what she is supposed to be predominately made up of. This means of course that Jesus Christ is to rule and reign within her, which is represented by the throne. Then you have the tree, which is of course Jesus Christ the tree of life, which produces fruit from Christ. Then the river of the Holy Spirit flowing through the city and out into the world, is the sharing of Christ with one another, and the living of Christ by His people before the world, which is represented by the Spirit flowing from out innermost beings. The street of gold reveals this is the path that we are all to walk, and one which is walked by Jesus Christ within us by the Spirit.

All of this could be talked and written about forever, and it will be, but what's most important to see, is this is what Paul was talking about when he mentions we are a letter read by all men. This is the letter that we are supposed to represent, Jesus Christ being seen in a people. That is the end result of the eternal purpose of God, planned by the Godhead before time began.

But we have those who attempt to bring the earth touch to all of this, and even imply the earth is our mother, and express it through vain attempts to worship her and the environmentalism that follows.

We are to be a heavenly people, and those truly born again from above, will find themselves ever gravitating beyond the pull of this world to the Christ which dwells in heaven.

This of course is far beyond simple geographics, and refers to the higher life expressed in the person of Jesus Christ. His life lives in true believers, and that is what New Jerusalem really means. It's eternal and ever moving forward, not just something that will somehow become real at the end of this age. It's breaking forth in His true people now!

Giving Must be Voluntary and Private Says Ron Paul

At the recent presidential debate, hopeful Ron Paul talked about the crucial and Biblical aspect of charity, in that it must be privatized and voluntary.

That is in contrast to the progressive, socialist evil of "mandatory charity" via the extraction from taxpayers and redistribution according to the will of politicians, which is used for the purpose of buying votes at the expense of future and current generations.

We must as a people reject the idea of government programs replacing voluntary charity, as they are extremely costly and ineffective, and are bringing the United States to its financial knees, as they're totally unsustainable.

This doesn't bother most politicians, as they're extremely shortsighted and look at things in the short term, rather than the Christian view and outlook of the long term, and in reality, the eternal.

Even when Ananias and Sapphira were stuck dead by the Holy Spirit, it wasn't because they refused to give, because the voluntarily did. It was because they lied about the amount they gave.

Peter noted that as long as it was in the hands of the couple, they had the right to do with it as they chose to, confirming voluntary giving. But once they voluntarily turned it over, it was a different matter.

The point is of course is even in this terrible judgement by God, it wasn't related to being required to give that was the sin, but that the couple lied about how much they gave.

There is no uncertainty that there was no requirement to give, and that it was completely voluntary by all those involved in the early church.

As Ron Paul said in our time, the principle of voluntary and charitable giving needs to remain private and the choice of those choosing to give. Anything else is against the Biblical record and Christ Himself, who confirmed it by the Holy Spirit.

This is one of the reasons why socialism and progressivism are enemies of Christ.

Evolution Flavor of the Week

We have another discovery of the never-found "missing link," this time in South Africa, where the alleged 2 million-year-old bones of a female and juvenile animal of some sort are being touted as a possible evolutionary "game-changer."

This is another of the endless number of outright hoaxes and meaningless "discoveries" of the missing link, which always are proven to be untrue or literally made up by those offering the so-called proof.

Of course as Christians, we all know Jesus Christ created the world and everything in it, and no, there wasn't an evolutionary "mechanism" used by Christ for creation.

We all know the story from the book of Genesis, where God formed man and breathed into him the breath of life. That's the story, and it's irrefutable and unchallengeable. There is no evolutionary mechanism, and no missing link, no matter how hard those attempting to secure more research funds try to create the illusion.

This is why the science cowards refuse to debate Christians, as they know they have absolutely zero proof evolution, and it remains a fixation and lie used by those afraid of, or outraged, that there is a God which has made demands and commands concerning the life they are expected to live while on this earth.

Only the faith of scientists allows this fraud to continue on, as they would be laughed out of legitimate scientific and empiric circles of other disciplines built around no evidence of a theory, after over a 150 years of trying to find or manufacture it.

Progressives Attack "Paper Or Plastic?"

The liberal, progressives, or socialists, whatever moniker flavor they've chosen to use today, are again going pyscho, now wanting to force people in Las Angeles to shop with only reusable bags.

What the new proposed measure would do is disallow the use of paper or plastic bags in all the supermarkets located in L.A. It would also force the supermarkets to offer for sale or provice complimentary reusable or fiber bags only. If the supermarkets don't comply, there would be the imposition of a fine.

Never mind that it's been proven these reusable bags are dirty and filthy, as few people remember to continually clean them.

But this fascist attempt to force the will of the few on the many shows the incredible lack of clear thinking, or even the ability to clearly think through an issue, by the progressives.

This is another reason why people and businesses are fleeing the California cult.

Here we are in the midst of one of the worst economic times in U.S. history, and we have wicked people pursuing their bizarre goals of saving the planet at the expense of people and the health of the economy.

Even some of those in California are calling this proposal a "nightmare." The problem is this nightmare isn't just beginning in California, it has been going on for decades.

Ron Paul Battles Perry in Texas Showdown

The sparks were flying during the Wednesday presidential debate between Rep. Ron Paul and Rick Perry, as the two battle head to head over who is best suited to lead the country.

Even when the cameras weren't rolling the atmosphere was tense, as Paul has aggressively pursued Perry concerning his credentials as a real conservative.

Paul has pointed out Perry's written support of Hillary Clinton and her attempt to impose Hillarycare on the United States when her husband was president. Paul responded to the apparent hypocrisy of Perry in his criticism of Romney's health care law he signed in Massachusetts.

Also during the commercial breaks of the debate, ads also pointing out Perry's support for Al Gore when he ran for president in the 1980s were run by Paul's campaign.

The point is, just because Perry showed up at some prayer gathering doesn't mean it's not all opportunism and show. can the leopard change his spots. Maybe. But this has happened over much of Perry's political career, and must be carefully evaluated.

As for Ron Paul, he has been consistent throughout his political career, and we know exactly where he stands on the issues that are important to us all.

Ron Paul handily won a poll after the debate. Here are the results of 147,750 votes cast:

Ron Paul 51.5% (76,019 votes)
Mitt Romney 16.7% (24,726 votes)
Rick Perry 13.9% (20,536 votes)
Jon Huntsman 6.9% (10,141 votes)
Newt Gingrich 4.6% (6,842 votes)
Herman Cain 3.3% (4,883 votes)
Michele Bachmann 2.1% (3,099 votes)
Rick Santorum (1,504 votes)

Jim Rogers on Coming Global Depression

Jim Rogers is among the best communicators on what is the real condition of the global and U.S. economy, and has the financial insights to back it up.

It would be better to listen to a few dozen videos of Rogers, as far as getting a solid economic and financial education, than just about anything out there. Forget the worthless MBA and other trinkets. They're a waste of time and money.

Rogers is the real thing in his several specialities, which are commodities, currencies and the economy. Listen to him and learn.

Because Rogers talks of underlying principles, even if you find videos that are a little dated, they continue to be relevant for today, although you have to balance what he was investing in at the time he talked.
