How same-sex marriage points to
end of the world
By Janet Folger
What do May 17, 2004, and May 15, 2008, have in common? One judge and a redefinition of marriage against the will of the people.
Both the Massachusetts Superior Court and the California Supreme Court by a
one-judge margin redefined what marriage has always been in every culture and
every religion for more than 5,000 years of recorded history.
Why does this matter?
As I wrote about in my book, "The Criminalization of Christianity," Jeffrey
Satinover, who holds an M.D. from Princeton and doctorates from Yale, MIT and
Harvard, was on my radio program one day and I asked him about where we are in
history. He explained that according to the "Babylonian Talmud" – the book of
rabbis' interpretation of the scriptures 1,000 years before Christ, there was
only one time in history that reflects where we are right now.
There was only one time in history, according to
these writings, where men were given in marriage to men, and women given in
marriage to women.
Want to venture a guess as to when? No, it wasn't in Sodom and Gomorrah,
although that was my guess. Homosexuality was rampant there, of course, but
according to the Talmud, not homosexual "marriage." What about ancient Greece?
Rome? No. Babylon? No again. The one time in history when
homosexual "marriage" was practiced was … during the days of Noah. And
according to Satinover, that's what the "Babylonian Talmud" attributes as the
final straw that led to the Flood.
On my radio program on Thursday, Rabbi Aryeh Spero verified this to be true.
Rabbi Spero spoke of God's compassion before the Flood, in hopes people would
repent and turn back to His ways. He showed patience for hundreds of years.
But, he said, the Talmud's writings reveal that "before the Flood people started
to write marriage contracts between men, in other words, homosexual 'marriage,'
which is more than homosexual activity – it's giving an official state stamp of
approval, a sanctification … of homosexual partnership."
In fact, he said, "the writings indicated that it wasn't even so much the 'straw
that broke the camel's back,' but that the sin in and of itself is so contrary
to why God created the world, so contrary to the order of God's nature, that God
said then and there 'I have to start all over … to annihilate the world and
start from the beginning. …'"
Rabbi Spero went on to say, "Even in ancient Greece they did not write marriage
contracts between men. There was homosexuality, and it was wrong, but there was
not an official 'blessed' policy. … Marriage is 'sanctification' (not simply a
partnership)." He said to confer the title of sanctification and holiness upon
this behavior is "probably one of the greatest sins of all that one does against
God's plan for this world."
The one time it happened was: "During the days of Noah." When I first heard
this, my mind immediately went to a verse I've heard many times but never with
such relevance. The verse is found in Matthew 24:37. It reads:
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of
Man. – Mathew 24:37 (NIV)
I used to read this verse and think: It was bad at lots of points in history; it
doesn't necessarily mean now, but if these Jewish writings are true, we are
uniquely like the "days of Noah" right now – and only right now.
But it can't be yet, you say. You have a lot going on in your life? You're
getting married? Here's how the New Living Translation describes that very
sentiment in Luke:
When the Son of Man returns, the world will be like the people were in Noah's
day. In those days before the Flood, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and
weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat, and the flood came to
destroy them all. – Luke 17:26-27. Happily going about as if everything was fine was what they did, too.
You don't like this possibility? Don't even believe in the Flood? Doesn't
matter. Some things are true whether you believe
them or not. How can you be sure? There's a way. Did you know
that about one-fourth of the Bible is prophecy? A quarter of the Bible is a lot
– it's a big book. And did you know God's standard? Perfection. That means that
if even one of those prophecies is wrong, you can discount the whole thing. Kind
of like a prophet who makes a false prediction – that made him a false prophet
and a candidate for stoning. Did you know that 4,000 prophecies in that Bible
have already come true down to the last detail? That leaves about 1,000 left to
be fulfilled – those are the ones regarding the last days before the return of
Christ, which are being checked off the list right now.
If 4,000 out of 5,000 prophecies have already occurred exactly as the Bible
predicted they would, you might want to pay attention to the rest.
The good news is that 1.1 million people across California have signed a
petition to bring marriage to a vote of the people through a state
constitutional amendment (just like 27 other states have done). And guess what?
An amendment to a state constitution trumps even the most out-of-control state
judiciary. We'll likely know if these signatures are validated before this
tyrannical ruling goes into effect, and I predict they will be since they
gathered 400,000 more signatures more than they needed to qualify. Besides, they
already voted – eight years ago where more than 61 percent of Californians
declared marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Now they just need to turn
that same language into a constitutional amendment.
I don't live in California, so why am I sounding the alarm? Here's why:
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the
people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them,
he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's
hand. – Ezekiel 33:6
I'm praying and working to protect marriage not only because I care about
marriage, but because I care about civilization. And, if we obey God, he just
may spare us from the judgment we deserve.

There are many blatantly satanic ideas and principles creeping
into our once Christian society which should be obvious to even a lukewarm
Christian. The fact that Christians are not outraged by these ideas makes a
statement that we have become frogs. What am I talking about? If we place a frog
into a pan of boiling water that frog will jump right out. On the other hand if
that same frog is placed into a pan of cold water it will sit right there as the
temperature under that pan is raised little by little, until it finally boils to
death. Many Christians today are just like that frog, never feeling the heat
increasing until it’s too late.
What we see happening in California didn’t just happen yesterday. The
Californians have been sitting in that same pot as the heat has been slowly
increased for years now. A short while back they began to get a little
uncomfortable with the situation so they had a legal vote and passed an
amendment that stated that marriage between one man and one woman was the only
recognizable marital union in the state, effectively stopping the forward motion
of the homosexual agenda, they thought. Then, just a few weeks ago, the
California Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on same sex marriages. Four
black-robed justices declared the ban unconstitutional and overrode the
California voter’s decision to ban same sex marriages. The heat’s being raised
in California and it won’t be much longer before the water is at a boiling
point. Is it too late? Only Californians can answer that. As a native
Californian I feel I have the expertise to address this subject here in my
commentary. Although my family and I left California fourteen years ago, I still
consider it my home state.
The powers to be have turned to same sex marriages
to get them out of their state’s terrible economic fiasco. I’m sure you’ve all
heard the story of the man who sold his soul to the devil for wealth, but as he
began to enjoy his new lifestyle Satan takes his life from him. After all, he
didn’t ask for long life, just wealth. California has sold her soul to the devil
and is now headed for a real heat death.
Here’s a scenario for you: What would we do if government representatives came
to our door and took our children away to sell them into prostitution as a
solution to the economic woes in our country? Would we just sit there in our
easy chair while our precious children were removed from our homes? Or what if
they were taken to a government indoctrination center where they would be brain
washed into believing one of Satan’s biggest lies? Would we just sit idly by as
the Californians on a whole have done? Californians have allowed the homosexual agenda into their public run schools,
effectively allowing the indoctrination of their children into believing that
lifestyle to be an appropriate and completely morally sanctioned government
supported lifestyle. And almost simultaneously banning the reading or even the
passion of a Bible in our public schools.
It’s been said “As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation”. Is your
state next? No matter what state you live in I can guarantee you the homosexual
agenda is in the works. All they needed was for California to cave in to the
pressures of this satanic agenda and sooner or later all the rest will follow.
Another little tidbit of information: Most prophecy experts see no reference to
America in what is called the end time scenario. What we do see from studying
our history books is that every great society such as the Greek and Roman
empires collapsed as they embraced homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. Is that
water beginning to boil yet?
As a born again believer in Christ, I know God’s truth quite well. I’ve studied
His word for a good many years now, and I know He’s not going to sit idly by
while these unbelieving, foolish people destroy what once was the most Christian
nation on earth. Something will give, and I suspect it won’t be just the
homosexuals that feel the brunt of His wrath.
The Apostle Paul tells us in the book of Romans “Who knowing the judgment of
God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the
same, but have pleasure in them that do them,” Romans 1:32.
Condoning the lifestyle of homosexuals and their
sick and perverse behavior is the same in God’s eyes as participating in such
abominations.
What will people do as they see this terrible curse spread and its tentacles
reach into every facet of society? Will there be a ground swell of rebellion
arise from the ash heap of what once was a great nation? Or will we as a society
just disappear into obscurity? There will come a time when we will see this
country so steeped in sin that no Christian will be safe out in public.
Those who actively promote the homosexual lifestyle are
growing more antagonistic and resentful to Christians day by day. They
know their lifestyle is wrong and they know they are wallowing in a cesspool of
filth. They also know that the Christians are the only obstacle to a complete,
unadulterated, sin-laden society that allows any perverse activity imaginable.
That’s right, my brothers and sisters in Christ. We are an
obstacle that must be dealt with before total adherence to the homosexual agenda
can be achieved. They (the homosexuals) already know this truth. It’s the
God-fearing, God-loving, Jesus-following Christians in this country who for the
most part don’t have a clue. We must be removed from the landscape so to speak.
After the laws associated with the homosexual agenda in this land are reworked
to line up with their perverted agenda, what will they do with us? History shows
us that after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 all the Japanese people in
this country, no matter if they were US citizens or not, were rounded up and
placed in internment camps. The only difference is this time those rounded up
will be the Christians –that is the Christians that won’t toe the line and bow a
knee to Baal.
I know what you must be thinking “This guy has gone off the deep end”. There’s
no way this country of mine will ever turn into a homosexual nation. If that is
your response to my commentary I would suggest you do some investigation of your
own. Start with internet news sites and articles then read all the different
commentaries you can get your hands on pertaining to this subject. I spent one
week gathering information on the Christian persecution coming upon this nation
of ours, and at the end of that week I had enough information to write a book.
That was just one week’s worth of the persecution I found. All of you reading
this commentary should be doing diligent research into the persecution coming
upon the Church to discover the truth for yourselves, but don’t take too long.
Those on the other side who are gathering in mass are already aware of what must
be done and they are working assiduously on accomplishing their goal.
It’s a proven fact that Americans think that tomorrow will be like yesterday,
next month will be like last month, and next year will be like last year. If
this is your mindset, you my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, are in for a
huge awakening. Tomorrow will not be like yesterday; yesterday homosexual
marriage was illegal but today men are marrying men and women are marrying
women. Can you feel the water temperature rising? Here froggy, froggy, froggy.
From this point on this once great nation of ours
will morph into exactly what has been planned for years now, one of the most, if
not the most satanic society of all post antediluvian history. Satan is most
definitely ecstatic at the progress he and his minions of evil are achieving
with almost no resistance.
---------------------------------------------
God loves homosexuals and so do I. I wish them no
harm. That's why I pray and hope that many homosexuals will learn that Jesus
Christ loves them too and that He alone can
truly offer them a better lifestyle and a happier future by adhering to
His moral standards. .....Keygar! |
