The Demise of Pax Americana
Verse of the Day
1John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Commentary
The Demise of Pax Americana 11/15/13 The word “pax” is used but it means: ” A time of wide-ranging stability when there is only a single dominant power” It is most often associated with the Roman Empire.
“Kerry’s failure to reach the hoped-for deal represented a huge blow to America, and a double victory for Iran. The simple fact that Washington was willing to sign the deal – and lie about it to its closest allies – caused the US to lose its credibility in the Middle East. Even without the deal, the US paid the price of appeasing Iran and surrendering leadership of the free world to France and Israel.Just by getting the Americans to commit themselves to reducing sanctions while Iran continues its march to a nuclear weapon, Iran destroyed any remaining possibility of doing any serious non-military damage to Iran’s plans for nuclear weaponry. At the same time, the Americans boosted Iranian credibility, endorsed Iranian power, and belittled Israel and Saudi Arabia – Iran’s chief challengers in the Middle East. Thus, Iran ended Pax Americana in the Middle East, removing the greatest obstacle in its path to regional hegemony. And it did so without having to make the slightest concession to the Great Satan.”
God’s judgment on Obama and America are really starting to accelerate into a collapse. Under Obama’s leadership America’s position as the dominant world power is now ending. He is totally untrustworthy and seems that his only coherent foreign policy is to promote the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, he seems determined to see to it that Iran obtains nuclear weapons.
He is so diabolical I have a sense that he cut a deal with Iran, that they could obtain nuclear weapons, as long as they agreed to only use them against Israel and not the United States. I really think that Obama is that evil. In the meantime, China is very subtly threatening America with nuclear war or at least war in Asia! I do believe that God is raising China up as a rod of judgment against America both economically and militarily.
If Obama tries to set up Israel for war with Iran, then for sure, America will find itself in a war that it cannot win.
The 1956 Israeli war is viewed by historians as the end of Great Britain as a world power. Great Britain came against God’s prophetic plan for Israel, and this war put an end to Great Britain’s power. As a result, now this nation is under the complete control of the Hard Left reprobates along with the ascension of Islam to power. God is crushing Great Britain with judgments.
It does appear that this confrontation between “Pharaoh” Obama and Israel is now America’s turn to be punished as was Great Britain’s. As the “Pharaoh” comes against Israel, his presidency is being destroyed both nationally and internationally right before our very eyes.
Exodus 9:15-17 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
God’s Final Warning to Obama/America
Obama: Same-Sex Marriage ‘Exemplifies the Values We Hold Dear as a Nation’ 11/13/13 This is his heart of sin that he projects onto the entire nation. Homosexual “marriage” is a delusion invented by the modern Hard Left which are in total rebellion against God.
“President Barack Obama issued a statement yesterday congratulating Hawaii for legalizing same-sex marriage, a move he said “exemplifies the values we hold dear as a nation.”
Gallup: Belief Obama’s ‘Honest and Trustworthy’ Hits All-Time Low 11/13/13 Now that Obama is a proven liar to the public, he has no place to go but down. I expect his ratings to fall to the percentage of his hardcore believers, which is about 25 percent or so. He is heading towards not being able to govern because he is now exposed as a pathological liar. Everyone around him are also pathological liars! Each hearing showed that all the members of Obama’s administration are bold liars. They actually lie about lying! God raises up people like this into power as punishment for a rebellious nation.
Proverbs 29:12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
He is wounded and now very dangerous. If he cannot get his way with the Hard Left agenda, he might move with an attempt to usurp power with a form of coup. I repeat that he now is extremely dangerous like a wounded animal. God is now dealing directly with Obama and through him the American people. It really does appear that judgment day is approaching very fast.
“The belief among the American people that President Barack Obama is “honest and trustworthy” has hit an all-time low …”
State Dept.: Israeli Settlements Are ‘Illegitimate’ 11/15/13 God might deal with America that sections of our nation are illegitimate. The nation could divide up into regions as the unity of the country melts away.
Increasingly often in recent months, Secretary of State John Kerry and State Department officials have made the point about settlement illegitimacy.
Usually, they have attributed the term to “continued” settlement activity – implying active construction work in existing or new settlements. (President Obama used the same term in his 2009 speech in Cairo and again at the United Nations later that year, saying the U.S. “does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.”)
But at a meeting with Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem last week Kerry dropped the modifier, saying only “we consider now and have always considered the settlements to be illegitimate.”

Health Law Rollout’s Stumbles Draw Parallels to Bush’s Hurricane Response 11/14/13 Hurricane Katrina was the destruction of Bush’s presidency and it happened at the exact time that he pressured Israel to abandon Gaza. Now Obama is being destroyed, as he is pressuring Israel to create a Palestinian state by April 2014. I see Obama going “down in flames” like Bush did, only Obama might take the nation down with him.
“President Obama is now threatened by a similar toxic mix. The disastrous rollout of his health care law not only threatens the rest of his agenda but also raises questions about his competence in the same way that the Bush administration’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina undermined any semblance of Republican efficiency.”
Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Israel and the Coming Middle East War
The following articles show more of Obama’s pattern of turning against Israel. The real Obama is now starting to show himself. He could not do it during his first term because of reelection, but with nothing to lose, the real Obama is surfacing.
Iran deal may be inked as soon as next week 11/16/13
“In his latest salvo against making concessions to Iran, Netanyahu’s Twitter account featured a cartoon-like ad that detailed what he said the pending agreement included.“The proposal enables Iran to develop atomic bombs and build long-range missiles to reach the US and Europe,” it read. “Iran is getting everything and giving nothing.Netanyahu has been increasingly vocal in recent days about his opposition to a potential deal between six Western powers and Iran that would ease some sanctions while still leaving Iran with uranium-enrichment capabilities. Netanyahu has said he utterly rejects the brewing agreement and has been lobbying American allies in Congress to keep up sanctions.”
Obama national security aide chides Israel over settlements 11/15/13
“We have seen increased tensions on the ground. Some of this is a result of recent settlement announcements. So let me reiterate: The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,” she said.Her remarks to a conference of the Middle East Institute drew applause from an audience that included former and current US officials, foreign diplomats, some from Arab countries, and regional experts.Rice’s criticism echoed US Secretary of State John Kerry, who urged Israel on a visit to the region last week to limit settlement building in occupied territories – an activity he called “illegitimate” – to help push peace talks back on track.”
Amos 9:14,15 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
The current Israel-US rift was only a matter of time 11/15/13
Senators Appalled by Kerry’s Anti-Israel Remarks in Iran Briefing 11/15/13 (Video)
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Obama interviewed BEFORE the 2008 election…
Question to Obama:
Define Marriage: “I believe marriage is a union between a man and a women. Now for me as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union…you know, God’s in the mix.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJhQBZ1La0w
Later as president, he conveniently “evolved” to support homosexual marriage.
God’s moral law is eternal and doesn’t evolve!
President Obama is in for a rude awakening one day soon. I listen to him when he has one of his press conferences (yes it is difficult and I can feel my blood pressure rise) and his arrogance still amazes me. I sometimes wonder if he knows how disliked he is. God may be using Obama to judge America, but one day Obama will have the face his own judgement, as will all those who oppose God.
I read this today and thought it was an interesting twist.
Report: Mossad working with Saudis on contingency plans for potential attack on Iran
http://www.jpost.com/Iranian-Threat/News/Report-Mossad-working-with-Saudis-on-contingency-plans-for-potential-attack-on-Iran-331961
‘Sunday Times’ quotes diplomatic source as saying Saudis “furious” over Iran nuclear deal on table and are willing to give Israel “all the help it needs” on military option.
Then I came across this article.
Russia: Very Good Chance For a Deal with Iran
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/174083#.UohXF9KsiSp
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday that there is a “very good chance” of reaching a long-sought deal on Iran’s nuclear program, reports RIA Novosti.
Speaking to Russian television, Lavrov said that the world powers and Iran have no fundamental disagreements.
The Middle East is ready to explode and unfortunately, the U.S. will be backing the wrong side. Maranatha
Great post and articles.
The National Weather Service is officially predicting a tornado outbreak for Sunday. This is turning into a very dangerous situation and I am asking for prayer for all of us,especially in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, who will be in the path of these storms.
OT Israel was/is the foreshadow of the NT Israel (Church).
when OT Israel enters the next war…….will NT Israel (Church) enter a (Spiritual) war?
Israel became a nation in 1948………..the USA Church’s SUNDAY SCHOOL attendance reached an all time high…at the same time…….
BUT now that the whole world wants to murder OT Israel,,,,,the whole world wants to murder the Church also.
http://www.demonbuster.com
“Pax Romana”….I haven’t heard that in a long time.
A follow up…
Brother John, I ran across this article from The BBC about the spiritual “condition” in the Philippines that you, Brian, and myself, discussed a few days ago. From the article, it appears this storm has strengthened their faith. We can only pray it continues to do so and they will find peace in The Holy God of Israel.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24977113
Thank you Mary E for posting this. Storms don’t bother me. I find them rather exciting. But this one has be a bit nervous. It seems like IL will get the worst of it with a 90% chance of large-track tornadoes. (Think Joplin and Tuscaloosa). I’ll be posting this prayer request on my prayer groups too. Stay safe.
John – I made a typo on the Obama quote…shud be “man and a woman.” Thanks
Isaiah 59:18
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Great verse and certainly fits what is happening!
Thanks Irene. I am a storm chaser and this one has me nervous, too. So far you are correct. As I write, this Illinois has multiple tornado warnings.
Boy oh Boy Kudos to John McTernan for predicting this entire series of events that would befall the America that elected Obama as El Presidente. Little did we know how bad things would get but here we be. God Bless you John I remember so many people that mocked you for daring to say that a Holy God would hold us accountable for the unmitigated actions of a rouge homosexual president. You were correct on every point.
It is not over, but as he keeps his metal to the metal for sin, the Holy God of Israel is matching it with judgment.
So excited today as a Brother from Tel Aviv came to worship with our congregation in Charlotte N.C. He shared his testimony …born into a Jewish family, served in the Israeli Air Force, then travelled to America where he met Yeshua as Messiah & Lord. He is a pastor and a director of a Messianic Outreach Center in Israel. He came to tell us of the miracles The Lord is doing in these Last Days and how He is
Preparing His Bride and bringing in the Harvest !! He came to tell us about many Arabs as well as Muslims who have recently accepted Christ !! They praise the Name of Jesus together, break bread, and wash each other’s feet. He couldn’t tell us enough about the Goodness of God. It was truly refreshing to be in God’s presence today & worship the King with all our hearts in one accord ! Revival is breaking out everywhere as God pours out His Spirit , both here & throughout Israel as well . Shalom my friends … It won’t be long … It won’t be long at all !!

BARACK GIVES US A BAD NAME
Oh! He smokes too much pot or he’s just insane–Barack gives us a bad name, bad name.
Deceptive smile is what he sells–media’ messiah from heaven is a demonic creature from hell.
His snake oil charm to some is entrancing–because homosexuality’s his passion and they can’t break free.
My Father’s Dream author; some think he’s the one and great–but from the very first election he’s proved to be a reprobate.
Benghazi-red blood drips from his fingertips, Islamic insurgents blood-thirsty evil cry, while this nation asks questions he pretends to not know why–he committed murder when he deliberately let Americans die.
Chemical bombings in disputed Syrian neighborhoods, guess who he wants in power–his friends from Al-Qaida–the Muslim brotherhood.
International pariah with no credibility when he spied on his ally Merkel from The Federal Republic of Germany.
Oh! He smokes too much pot or he’s just insane–Barack gives us a bad name, bad name.
It is good to read poetry once more from the Insight’s Blog poet Laurette!!
KERRY GIVES US A BAD NAME
Oh! Kerry’s a retard he has no brains, Swift boat Veteran with dubious claims. Kerry gives us a bad name, bad name.
He negotiates peace while threatening Israel with war–lizard-tongue liar is a media whore.
Insults Veterans, claims their Genghis Khan, killing innocent babies with M-16 rifles and gooey napalm.
Self-proclaimed hero, caught in so many lies, while real soldiers were wounded–many have died.
For little or no effort, he’s awarded a purple heart–for what? For self-inflicted sand in his eyes.
Oh! Kerry’s a retard he has no brains, Swift boat Veteran with dubious claims.
Kerry gives us a bad name, bad name.

In reference to the storms Mary E warned about, they just said that they had the first E4 tornado in November in Illinois. The damage looks extreme.
Tom
I understand your motives for writing the poem BUT its also very offensive to those who were/are labeled retarded . You think you could use another phrase ?
For many its not just a word used to insult but its the implications -some of which you even say in your poem. Many people who are nonverbal have been labeled “retarded” and treated like dirt because they could not communicate and even told to their face that they were incapable of thinking. And in this day of Obamacare it won’t take long before many people with communication and mental disabilities will be thrown back into institutions because the group homes they live in cannot afford to function. If people absorb the attitude that you imply (that these people are unable to contribute to society) there will be very few fighting to keep them in the community. and if you think I am overreacting the group home I work at is having discussions about how long we can stay open if Obamacare goes into full swing.
I am NOT criticizing your message – I agree with it completely. Just choice of words can cause people to lose respect for you and your message and whatever you say after this.
Thanks Mary E. I’m not a chaser (getting too old and no vehicle) but I am a member of SkyWarn, so I’m a backyard storm spotter. We made it through pretty good. Had one thunderstorm come through but we didn’t have any damage. Haven’t heard about the surrounding area yet. Still a bit windy here though. Did you make it through okay? I was praying for you. I was watching the live feed and video coming out of Illinois and Indiana and did a lot of praying for those people, especially for those who don’t know Jesus yet. I just want these people to have one more chance. Also, I just heard that Illinois just tied or broke a record for tornado deaths (5 so far) for November.
Oh my – while I was typing this, I was watching a new video that came through The Weather Channel. This man was recording the tornado in IL as it was going through his neighborhood. While he was taping, he was praying out loud, asking Jesus to forgive our sins. His voice was steady and calm. (Not sure mine would have been with a possible EF3-4 going through my neighborhood.) What a blessing to hear prayer on a national program.
@Danielle – thank you for that wonderful post. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. I have read many accounts of Muslims coming to Jesus, even if it will/may cost them their lives. Some had received supernatural revelations. Yes, there is revival breaking out, unfortunately, it isn’t happening in the U.S. anymore. A verse I like is Luke 21:24 – “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Put together with everything else I’ve studied, I believe it means that there’s a certain number of Gentiles that God has ordained for the Church, and when that number is reached, we go Home. It’s like the old sailing vessels – when the number that needed to be aboard was reached, the ship sailed. Of course that is IMO and I would appreciate Brother John’s comment on it. Maranatha
1Pe 3:10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Thank you Tom. I also appreciate a good poet. I remember the song so I was putting your words to the music. Brilliant! BTW – the words are so true.
It feels like home again, Tom’s jingles, it’s been to long Brother Tom…..don’t stay away so long from now on ok?
God Bless us all,
Joni
Tom, I find your decision to use the word “retard” offensive. As a Mom to a precious child who has many mental and physical challenges, it hurts to read your poem.
I deliberately used the word RETARD over the word moron to evoke a response. What if I called Kerry “Wheat bread”, would you take offense and excoriate me because your child has celiac disease?
At what point will you stop considering yourself a victim? If Christ is in you, then you are in Christ and you are not a victim but a victor. Yes, You are a victor in Christ, you have power as a child of God over Satan, you have The Holy God’s provision, you have His promise–The Great I Am is enough!
God gave you a precious gift that no one else in the world has; your gift is so incredibly precious that he entrusted her to you and only you–and no one else. Yet you act as though you are burdened.
In His Service,
Tom
I agree with you on all but one point, and that is the use of the word RETARD. I deliberately used it to see what kind of response I would get as a pejorative directed at Kerry to see if any Liberals would come slithering out in his defense–none so far. What if I wrote “mentally challenged Kerry” would it have the same effect–evoke the same emotion? How about “poopie pants Kerry” would I insult those in diapers and be censured?
I use satire as a way to poke a finger in the eye of the absurd and sublime all the while garnishing a laugh at the expense of the absurd–in this case evil and slime.
The whole world mocks Barack O’Kerry, I’m just joining in the fun, it’s what they deserve for trying to divide The Holy City of Jerusalem.
In His Service,
Tom
Thank you, Irene and all who prayed for those of us in the path of yesterday’s storms. Irene, I did pray for you, especially when the system entered Ohio. Despite the terrible damage along the storm front, the Lord did answer prayer. I spent the day glued to radar and watched as the very first tornado warning appeared near Rockford, Ill. After that, the radar exploded with Doppler indicated tornadoes, starting in Wisconsin and traveling all the way down to So. Illinois. These were individual super cells, not a solid line and that’s what made it so dangerous. I have never seen anything like it. Many of the tornadoes were long-tracking, in the F-2 to F-4 range. As the storms approached S.W. Indiana, there were 3 cells, with tornadoes, heading toward my area. As I watched local weather coverage, one cell moved to the northeast, one went to the southeast and one headed straight toward my town. This is where the praise report comes in. The cell that was heading toward my area completely dissipated before it entered my county. Not only did we not have a warned storm, but all it produced was about 10 minutes of rain and then the sun came out! All I could do was praise the Lord for His mercy. I’m sorry to say, the other tornado cells around us, intensified, going on to hit several areas. I continue to pray for those affected.
I wanted to add that I have no doubt that the Lord continues to try and get the attention of His people. I expected all along that this would be a destructive day and I’m not ashamed to admit that fear almost got the best of me. It is a comfort to know we can pray for each other.
I also found it interesting, that two towns that received direct hits from strong tornadoes, are Washington, Ill. and Washington, Ind.
Tom, What a great response to those commenting is your use of the word “retard”. I did not take it any other way than what it was meant to be; (a jab at Kerry) and nothing else. People need to thicken their skins and not take things, (words) so literally. By the way, loved your poem. A former veteran..
