Is Gog Stirring?

May 17, 2014
Jan's first guest is White House correspondent Bill Koenig.  Is Vladimir Putin Gog? Could WWIII be forming thanks to Putin’s intentions? Several sound bytes are played refuting John Kerry’s accusation that Israel is an “apartheid state.” A prominent journalist states that after America’s mid-term elections, the U.S. will turn against Israel in an unprecedented way. Pastor Steven Khoury from Israel also weighs in on these issues. As a pro-Israel Arab pastor in Israel, he has paid a serious price for his position on the Jewish state.

Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scene – Book by Alex Newman
Author Alex Newman sheds light on the darkness of the “deep state.” He considers the intelligence community, as well as the bureaucratic machine, both of which now operate outside of constitutional structures.  He explains the “deep state behind the deep state” as well—the secret societies, semi-secret organizations and “moneymen” who make it possible.

Jan spends the hour with Anita Dittman, Holocaust survivor. She is the subject of a new WND documentary found here. They spend part of the program comparing Nazi Germany to America today and remind people that this is what happens when a nation makes government their god. Jan has produced a short companion DVD to Anita’s DVD titled “When Government Becomes God: What History Teaches Us” found here. You can order them individually or as a combo-pack found here. There are DVD trailers at those links as well. Dittman is startled at the antics of the current administration and calls them Nazi-like and cautions all to learn from history before it is too late. Jan also reminds listeners that this is a set-up for the Antichrist and the Bible’s end-time drama that must play out. If we lose sight of that, today’s headlines will become too overwhelming.

Jan airs a message given by Dr. Erwin Lutzer at “Understanding the Times Spring 2014.” He considers a nation under judgment as Israel once was. What are the comparisons to America? Are we at a point of no return? He exhorts believers to live as a minority in a pagan culture for God always promises to be with us. He emphasizes that we may lose in this world but we win in the next. Other speakers were Pastor Skip Heitzig, Eric Barger, and Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman.

Jan and her co-host, Jill Martin Rische, spend the entire hour talking to Dr. Mark Hitchcock about his new book, “101 Answers to Questions About Satan, Demons, & Spiritual Warfare.” The three discuss the wiles of the devil, why he was allowed power to rebel in Heaven, the “smear campaign” he has against Christians, his ability to work miracles, make people sick, and heal them. He deceives, destroys, discourages, demoralizes, distorts, and disheartens, but we can resist him! And his role in the last days will be overwhelming. He is engaged in a warm-up act now! They close in a discussion of UFOs and their likely demonic involvement. Find Mark’s new book here. We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com.

Jan and co-host Eric Barger talk to Dr. Erwin Lutzer. Lutzer correctly points out that the Left and Islam are in sync as both seem committed to wiping out democracy and Christians. Lutzer is concerned about the America church, assuming it will look like the church in Europe that has cooperated with Islam. The three discuss the incredible “infiltration” of the church and America by outfits like The Muslim Brotherhood. But is anybody listening? Dr. Lutzer and Eric Barger are speaking at “Understanding the Times Spring 2014” Saturday, April 26 in Minneapolis, our semi-annual event. Find Lutzer’s book, “The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent” here. In the closing, Eric Barger gives reasons for faith and testifies to the boldness that a comes from “resurrection power.” We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com. Though we’ve covered similar material before with Dr. Lutzer, this is new programming.

Jan’s guest for the entire hour is Pastor Skip Heitzig. The two discuss how all the signs of the times are coming together. They discuss the end-time strong delusion, the forthcoming blood moons, the coming one-world religion, the stunning departure from the faith and rise of apostasy, the Temple Mount, and much more. They also ponder Ezekiel 38-39 in light of Putin’s recent Ukraine activity. Heitzig is one of our speakers at “Understanding the Times Spring 2014” April 26. We carry his book, “You Can Understand the Book of Revelation” here. We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com.

Jan and co-host Eric Barger begin by discussing his spring 2014 conference message, “Ten Reasons Why Jesus is Returning Soon.” Then they consider the U.S. give-away of the Internet and the threat to freedom that is. It will also harm the spreading of the gospel. It is a further set-up for the Antichrist kingdom. They close discussing the recent World Vision reversal on gay marriage. The organization has asked for forgiveness for its intent to hire same-sex couples, but it cannot be denied that their intent introduced a potential slippery-slope scenario into the world of churches and ministries even with the reversal.

Jan's first guest is Ray Comfort. They discuss his new film, "Noah and the Last Days." This is a counter to the new Hollywood "Noah" film. Then Jan's two guests, both Messianic Jews, discuss the Hebrew Roots Movement. Is this sound? Shouldn't the church look at their Jewish roots? But does the movement have some cultish aspects to it? The answer to both questions is "yes." So how do we deal with those who propose we worship on Saturday, keep the Feasts, and return to some Old Testament ways? This seems to be forsaking the cross and grace for the Law and Paul warns against this. We try to provide a lot of answers to a lot of related questions.

Jan plays Dr. Ron Rhodes' second message from "Understanding the Times 2013," The Chronological Plan of the Ages, which is based on his book, "The End Times in Chronological Order." Ron reviews the outline of end-time events given in the Bible in the order in which they occur. You can find his book, "The End Times in Chronological Order" here.

Jan's first guest is Anita Dittman, Holocaust survivor and subject of Jan's book, "Trapped in Hitler's Hell" found here. They are also the subject of a new World Net Daily documentary of the same name out in a few weeks and found here. You can pre-order the new book and documentary now. Anita spends the first 20 minute segment explaining the "Confessing Church," the church of her youth which was inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Why was this small group of Christians willing to die to save Jews? Then Joseph Farah joins Jan to talk about the possible loss of press freedom in America which could trickle down to Christian radio and TV. This is what happens when a President appoints himself as king. How did this happen in America? We use the mobile app found on the Home page of www.oneplace.com.

Jan and her co-hosts, Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische, talk to Gary Kah for two segments. How soon is the one-world system arriving in Gary's opinion? They also discuss more recent efforts at spying including the intrusion and lawlessness of ObamaCare and the FCC attempt to monitor news outlets. Satan has orchestrated things so that the entire globe is in a crisis and this will speed global government. Soon, people will long for it as well as the "man with a plan," Antichrist. More and more, Christians are just seen as intolerant. The New World Order is about unity and we don't fit. The one-world religion is discussed. Gary believes Jerusalem will be the capital of that effort. Then Jan closes with a very short commentary on the "Christ at the Checkpoint" anti-Israel session March 10-14 in Bethlehem.
