The Importance of Bible Prophecy with Jim Fletcher

September 4, 2010
Jim Fletcher and Jan dialogue about the importance of Bible prophecy in spite of the fact that it has fallen from favor. Why has most of the church abandoned the topic as well as favor for Israel? The Palestinian cause is now more prominent than support for Israel and the Jewish people. It does not help to have prominent false teachers such as Brian McLaren, Emergent guru, bashing Israel and eschatology. The so-called "Bible Answerman," Hank Hannegraaff, has also caused wreckage as well as his frequent guest, Stephen Sizer. Not only is Israel shunned; her friends are as well. www.prophecymatters.com

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.

Dr. Gary Cass and Jan report on the arrest of Christians in Dearborn, MI, the effort to silence Christians in America, how Elena Kagan will affect our Supreme Court,Comedy Central's attempt to blaspheme Jesus (although advertisers are all pulling out on this production,) Obama's broken promises on abortion, and more. For Obama's plans to work, the "watchmen" must be silenced and free speech has to go. www.defendchristians.org

Rich Christiano joins Jan to talk about those pesky little UFOs. Should Christians take this seriously? Yes! Christiano has produced a film about the subject -- a film good for spreading the gospel. He believes, as does this ministry, that these UFOs are demonic manifestations due to the lateness of the hour. After the Rapture, the world will say that these objects took people away and good riddance.  www.unidentifiedthemovie.com www.christianmovies.com

Pastor Bob DeWaay says that the church-growth movement is driving the gospel out of our churches. The church-growth crowd believes the church exists for unbelievers and thus they encourage pastors to make their churches "comfortable" for them, but then they become extremely uncomfortable for true believers. They reference the leaders of the church-growth movement including Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, and others. DeWaay also responds to Pastor John Piper's invitation to Rick Warren at Piper's fall conference. How do today's churches compare to the early church of Bible times?  www.twincityfellowship.com www.cicministry.org

John Loeffler from Steel on Steel returns to talk about the forthcoming stranglehold the FCC wants to place on the Internet and talk/conservative radio. The FCC has declared themselves the new controller of the Internet now. They also get into economy issues and show how America could become Greece in 1-2 years. And just how stifling is "cap and trade" going to be? How does the oil leak fit into this? Is the church ready to pick up the pieces of America as she is further weakened? The password and username at Loeffler's radio site for you to use free for 40 days is markell (all lower case). www.steelonsteel.com

Jill Martin Rische is the daughter of Dr. Walter Martin. She and Jan talk about her book, "The Kingdom of the Occult." This is not a dark topic as Jill reminds us that we have victory over the wiles of the devil. Since the paranormal is the new normal, Christians need to be equipped with this information. www.waltermartin.com

Jim Tetlow, presents a uniquely uplifting hour relating some miracles that surround his film God of Wonders. This unique witnessing tool is winning some hard-hearted people to the Lord because of it's awesome message depicting the handiwork of God. We even recommend you get them in quick-sleeve bulk for witnessing purposes. Or, you can get one in hardcover case. Both options are here. -- www.eternal-productions.org www.godofwondersvideo.org

Mike Oppenheimer and Jan discuss the theology of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Are the self-proclaimed apostles today functioning as they did in Bible times? Why are they different and thus proclaim a different gospel? Their leaders say we can return the earth to a "Garden of Eden" stage and that Christ won't return until they do. They will accomplish it through spiritual warfare, signs and wonders. C. Peter Wagner is the head of this movement and most participants who are also in authority are named. Some denominations are sounding a warning to their people about the NAR, including the Assemblies of God. www.letusreason.org
