The Coming Oil Storm with Dr Ron Rhodes

January 29, 2011
Dr. Ron Rhodes returns to talk about a coming oil storm due to a future shortage globally, how oil plays out in prophecy, and how it could pave a path to Armageddon. Once Islam possesses both oil and nuclear weapons, they will feel empowered to act as they wish. Jan and Ron also talk about the Stuxnet worm that was created by Israel with America's blessing. It has set Iranian nuclear ambitions back to 2015. But will Iran retaliate against Israel and America for this? If so, how? Computer security experts who have deconstructed Stuxnet, say it is a work of art and by far the most advanced computer virus ever created.

Caryl Matrisciana and Jan look into "The Daniel Plan" being kicked off by Saddleback Church and Rick Warren. Jan and Caryl expose the real danger behind this effort featuring three doctors who specialize in all things Eastern. Why is "America's Pastor" featuring a "Daniel Plan" that includes meditation, Reiki, Transcendental Meditation, and more? The health seminar was kicked off January 15, and continues every weekend for the new year. Teachers Dr. Oz, Dr. Hyman, and Dr. Amen come with a lot of baggage but that seems to bother no one because it's a Rick Warren idea. Caryl grew up in India and is in tune with the dangers of Eastern seduction which is on overdrive at Saddleback Church in 2011. www.caryltv.com Caryl's book Out of India can be found here.

Jan and Eric Barger challenge Christianity Today for their promotion of a bargain sale of products promoting lectio divina, contemplative prayer, "the silence," spiritual formation, walking the labyrinth, and more. These are practices the reformers died fighting 500 years ago. In particular, the Emergent Church is promoting all of these along with everything mystical. Mysticism has replaced doctrine and the leaders of this apostate movement say Jesus died to save the earth, not individuals. Yet evangelicals are climbing on board the mystical train and it's leading to a train wreck in the church. How can you spot this in your church? Who are the names to avoid? www.ericbarger.com

On the first half of this broadcast Dr Gary Cass is our guest.  Dr Cass spends most of his time defending Christians. Gary and Jan discuss the biggest Christian-bashing events of 2010. They also discuss how the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell " (DADT) will affect our military. 77% of Americans approve of the repeal of DADT. What does this say about our society? If homosexuality is tolerated in the military, then all other aberrant behaviors must be tolerated. We are witnessing the collapse of American civility once again. www.defendchristians.org On the second half of this broadcast Jack Kinsella and Jan conclude that we are the "think not" generation. We are the generation that is not thinking about the return of the Lord due to indifference, busyness, and other issues. The Devil has been allowed to cause distraction at this time as the hour draws near. Yet, we are called to remain "ready", to proclaim the good news. They also discuss how modern-day technology will serve the Antichrist's regime as he will be the master of technology. He will likely not have time to build the technical system; rather the infrastructure must be in place. They also discuss some of the prophetic top stories of 2010. www.omegaletter.com

On the first half of this broadcast Jan and Dr Ron Rhodes try to expose the rampant rise of the paranormal today, affecting even many Christians. The Bible says "the secret things belong to God" but today, most everyone is chasing after experience and knowledge of things known only to God. Some of this is tied to the rise of the occult/paranormal/mystical/supernatural. On the second half of this broadcast authors Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski have co-authored the book The Blueprint: Obama's Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency. Jan speaks with them about many troubling issues including Obama's Czars, his executive orders, his judicial activism, ObamaCare, and more. And just how is Obama subverting the Constitution? What is an "imperial presidency?" These and many more questions are answered. www.theblueprintbook.net

Kitty Foth-Regner was an atheist and a feminist, closed to the gospel. When her mother died, Kitty wanted to be with her wherever she was and her mother was a strong Christian. Thus, she relates her long journey of exploring many faiths and after 15 months, she settled on Biblical Christianity as the only truth. This is must-listening for anyone trying to reach a lost loved one as it is a reminder to never give up on that person. Kitty's book is "Heaven Without Her-A Desperate Daughter's Search for the Heart of Her Mother's Faith"--available in any Christian bookstore or at Amazon.com.

Jan Markell interviews Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman. Anita reflects on the miracle of survival for 12 1/2 years in Nazi Germany and a concentration camp. She relates her "best Christmas ever" which was in one of the concentration camps. Like Jesus, she slept on straw in a barn, sang Christmas carols, and focused on the real meaning of Christmas. She also tells of her harrowing escape from the Nazis and the journey to find her mother in another concentration camp. This is uplifting and is a faith builder. We carry Anita's book, "Trapped in Hitler's Hell" and a DVD of her testimony. here.

In this hour, "a best of" repeat from 2007, Jan Markell speaks with Randy Alcorn about his well-loved book, Heaven. It's an unfortunate reality that the vast majority of Christians know little about the truth of their eternal home. What will we do forever? Is it going to be ceaseless floating on puffy white clouds strumming harps? How old will we be? What will our bodies be like? Will our pets come with us? Jan and Randy present an uplifting hour, garnering anticipation for our eternal Home. (Olive Tree Ministries carries an abridged version of Randy's book: "50 Days of Heaven: Reflections That Bring Eternity to Light" here

It's a guarantee in the Bible that we will have tribulation, but today the saints are being hammered by the enemy. How do we cope? Does it increase or decease faith? Are we disappointed with God or will we recognize the urgent need to encourage one another in these troubled times? Encourage Jan's guest at tom@tommarsland.com
