For Rape/Sexual Assault Victims...

This is for the victims of the most horrible and emotionally degrading act done to people, known as RAPE/SEXUAL ASSAULT. God revealed an idea from His Word to me and reminded me of a precious young lady named Tamar who was raped by her brother. The story is found in 2 Samuel 13. I want you to grab your Bible and read from the first verse until the last and see how what all led up to her being raped and what happened afterward.

The chapter reveals the background of the one who raped her (Amnon) and later shows what happened to him. Now, it's important that you read what happened to Tamar afterward (as I said, read the WHOLE chapter). She basically closed herself off from the world for the rest of her life due to her lack of trust, etc. After you read 2 Samuel 13, I want you to write a letter to Tamar (except you can't send it of course) and tell her about yourself and what you experienced. You will then try to encourage her with your own words and tell her why you're reaching out to her.

Just be totally honest in this 'letter' to her because she doesn't know you and needs to be convinced that you know what she's going through. This is a good project to do and would be more productive than the other substitutes the devil would have you to do to cope with the pain. If you continue to live in denial, you'll be tempted to do all kinds of things such as drugs (and other forms of chemical dependency), cutting (and other forms of self-abuse), eating disorders, perfectionism, excessive spending habits, and also bisexuality to cope with the pain. Many bisexuals were raped or molested and they choose that lifestyle as a way of rebellion toward the opposite sex who violated them.

Victims also have trouble sleeping due to nightmares which will cause them to lack in their everyday responsibilities. When you are honest in reality about what all happened to you, the nightmares eventually go away in time. Beloved, there is hope and God takes care of your burden when you try to help others. Tamar needs you right now and you know how she feels. Let her know she's not alone and you'll find that you're not either.

America's Role In Prophecy.

Well, it seems every election these days is the brink of the 'end of the world' as we know it. Now, going a little further, I think I've found the answer of what America's role is in prophecy. If we study very closely Ezekiel 38 (the whole chapter), we will find what leads up to the final battle in Armageddon (which means the valley of Megiddo, a place in Israel found in Revelation 16:16). I must first point out that every true Christian is waiting to be raptured up with Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This will kick off the 7 year tribulation when Armageddon will take place but we can see how things maybe are lining up.


But back to Ezekiel 38, Russia is described as 'Gog' and also referred to as 'Magog' in that chapter. This is the same land area as Russia but that's what it was called way back in that time. Persia is also mentioned (which is the ancient word for Iran) and also Ethiopia and Libya in verse 5. I've heard there are training operations in parts of Ethiopia and other places and I know that Russia is supplying the nuclear technology to Iran in exchange for oil. In verse 6, Gomer (which is Germany) and Togarmah (which is Turkey) is mentioned as well. They will form an alliance to attack Israel when it is a 'land of unwalled villages' in verse 11 which means Israel will have laid down there defenses in some kind of peace accord.


These nations will attack 'to take a spoil' in verse 12 and isn't it amazing the word 'oil' is in the word 'spoil'....hmmmm! Now, it gets even more interesting when verse 13 comes into play and what I'm about to mention is a long story of how I come up with this and this is also backed up with some very trusted scholars. Sheba (which is England) and Dedan (most likely America) is mentioned along with 'the merchants of Tarshish' (another area of modern day Turkey and we do business with them this day in merchandise and missile defense). I know I don't have to tell you how good of an ally we are with England and it uses the phrase 'with all the young lions thereof' in that verse. A lion is a symbol of England and it can refer to the future descendants of England and the connection America has with it.


Now, I said all that to say this, in that same verse England (Sheba) and Dedan (America) are just asking the questions "Art thou come to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered a company to take a prey? To carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?" This tells me that America from a prophecy standpoint will be too politically correct to lift a finger to help Israel. They are just talking in that verse and that's the last you read about them. They are going to rely on just diplomacy and not war and it goes along with what I've always feared. That America will not be destroyed by bombs or anything like that but by becoming socialist, sympathetic, weak, and politically correct to do anything. This happens by allowing liberals to keep changing our Constitution and no longer being the 'home of the brave.

The remainder of the chapter shows us that God Himself will straighten it out and not man. I don't know who will win the election and I don't know when this is all going to happen. I can just say that we're one day closer than we were yesterday.
