Today I read the BBC News and the NY Times as usual. I prefer the BBC News world news because it seems more about reality than propaganda of NY Times. However, the reason I am writing this entry is because I saw a photo taken by AFP photographer Essam Sudani in the BBC today of Iraqi students [schoolgirls it points out] walking down the ancient steps of 'ziggurat' at Ur, and that instantly got my attention. If you know the Bible particularly the Old Testament you will remember that it says GOD called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldeans to leave it and follow GOD across the burning sand. I quote from Genesis chapter 15, "after these things the word of THE LORD [GOD] came unto Abram in a vision saying, ' fear not Abram; I AM thy shield and thy exceeding great reward...and HE brought him forth abroad and said, 'look now toward heaven, and tell the stars; if thou be able to number them; and HE said unto him, 'so shall thy seed be.' And he [Abram] believed in THE LORD and HE counted it to him for righteousness. And HE said unto him, ' I AM THE LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it." verses 1,5,6,7 King James Holy Bible. Now of course you know that later on GOD changed Abram's name to Abraham to show that HE had given him a new destiny and a promise.

Now this is the crux of the issue as to why I am writing this here today: another article in the BBC--on a blog written by Mark Urban entitled 'Diplomatic Shift' started out making the astounding assertion that the problems of the Middle East depend upon Washington DC. Well, in light of the fact that the so-called Middle East nations of Iran, Iraq, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan, all were in existence AS NATIONS about six thousand years ago as recorded by the Bible's Old Testament and the geneology of the Jews, Arabs Syrians, Palestinians,--all groups we would today call 'ethnic' meaning every tongue, culture, tribe of those nations, and that the United States did not exist until the year 1776 when the Continental Congress met and formed a new nation, the idea that anyone in Washington DC controls the fate of the 'middle east' is preposterous! The Middle East is the origin of the human race on this planet according to scripture and according to Scripture it will also be the end of it on this planet in the final war on earth named Armageddon. The United States is really a minor player that somehow tried a huge power play to control history but it is only that--a minor player on a world stage set by GOD HIMSELF. The photo of ancient Ur in the BBC news today reminded me of the verses in the Bible about GOD calling and then leading Abram out of Ur because of their polytheism there that was rampant and pervasive, and asked Abram to believe that HE GOD was THE LORD and the ONLY ONE, and Abram responded and obeyed, and his trek across the wilderness is recorded in Bible and so is the birth of Isaac the second generation of the Jews since Abraham and Sarah were the first,  and the birth of Ishmael [spelled Ishmail I think by the Arabs] the second generation of the Arabs since Abraham and Hagar were the first generation.

I am resident in the US and a citizen, native born and I follow the politics particularly as it concerns the prolife issues,and of course, I try to influence events to interject the viewpoint of GOD as written in the Bible. The fact that Obama is a notorious con-man spinning words all the while he is planning a methodical annihilation of entire segments of classes of humans in every nation of the world, concerns me greatly. His agenda for the world is NOT good. A nation, any nation that methodically kills with purpose and deliberation its upcoming generations has no future. The middle eastern nations as defined by being east of the United States on the globe, are in the hands of GOD not the hands of Obama! He is merely a pawn on the world stage as any leader in any nation as since the Bible says that GOD raises up leaders for HIS purpose and puts down leaders. Obama is not the saviour of the world and if the Middle East thinks he is, then look out because GOD is offended by such an evil thought. A human is only a human and GOD IS GOD, and there is NO other GOD but GOD. I am not muslim but Christian and I acknowledge JESUS as the Messiah promised in the Bible and foretold by the prophets as coming in the flesh to die for at-one-ment with THE GOD to bring salvation to the human race. {John 10;30 is written, JESUS said, "I and MY FATHER [GOD ] in heaven are ONE [GOD]."

It absolutely sticks in my craw to read articles that promote in so many words the idea that a human man is the Saviour of the world when JESUS who was THE GODHEAD in the flesh is the ONLY way to heaven according to John 14:6, and it is not through Obama that people or nations are saved. Or any other leader from Washington DC or anywhere else for that matter!

for some of my sketches about humans on the planet that GOD loves! I am posting the links to some of my websites with my original sketches on them, because of events that happened recently in which 153 CHRISTIAN websites owned by me were taken down by the Obama administration in an effort to prevent me from opposing his fatalistic approach to government as god and his planned destruction of the human race in obedience to the devil and opposing the commandment of GOD to be fruitful and multiply in Genesis 1:27-28, and they used the lie that my original paintings were immoral. I want you t see for yourself the proof of the sort of paintings, sketches, and drawings that I sketch, draw, and paint and see that they are not immoral or indecent in any way and that they lied!
