WAR?

Starfish Prime over Honolulu

Two decades ago when Bill Clinton approved super computer exports to China. Sun Microsystems Inc. began marketing top tier "military" technology to China. Sun, parallel and distributed processing, computers were covertly sold to China with consensus of Clinton administration officials (1997). These critical Chinese acquisitions were transferred to their nuclear weapon development facilities.


As Americans continued, their mandated purchase of virtually every tangible 2007 good from China, a significant portion of the gross profit was diverted to China's military proclivities including a series of anti-satellite missile tests intent on developing capability to neutralize space-based hardware. More recently, China tested ground-based anti-satellite kinetic weapons and in 2013 demonstrated capability to threaten geosynchronous (GPS) satellites. Today, by laying claim to the South China Sea, China challenged U.S. dominance not only on earth, but in space as well. If war is provoked, and satellites are destroyed as they were by Starfish Prime in 1962, the consequences could be more catastrophic then a nuclear conflagration on earth, but we won't know until TVs, cell phones, PCs, the power grid and the GPS goes dead!

All Things New

Earth from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter 

Before the "new heaven and new earth" the Body of Christ was seated "together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (cf. Eph 2:6)" and Israel possessed her promised earthly kingdom.

But after this John "... saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new" (Rev 21:1-5).

It is in this new heaven and new earth the Father consummates "... the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him" (Eph 1:9-10; cf Colossians 1.19-20).

Could it be that heaven and earth become "One"!

The Delegate

Cruz transgressed the meaning of the word "delegate." A delegate is someone "entrusted" to represent the desire and intent of those they serve. Cruz conspired with the powers of "political" darkness to subvert this commitment. Knowing to do good, and doing it not (cf. James 4:17) Cruz and America are suffering the consequences.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galatians 6:7).
