Obama : support & assist – don’t bring him down

In English, Sosial

Let’s be clear about one thing – Obama is not perfect. Anyone thinking the reverse is deluded. He’s just a man, not an angel (although it’d be really cool if he IS indeed a black angel) 🙂

So he made mistakes, and he will continue to do so from time to time.

That said – I’m absolutely appalled at lack of patience that’s displayed by some people. Do you SERIOUSLY think that 8 YEARS of destructions done by Bush can be reversed by Obama in 1 MONTH ??

Come on people. We’re talking about some of the MOST thorough global destruction ever witnessed in this century. Bush does not only destroy America, he also wreaked havoc in various other countries too. Including Indonesia – various evil US corporations really did have a field day during his administration.

I already expected that Bush’s great momentum of disaster would be really hard to stop and turn  around. I’ve suspected that Obama would have to compromise in several cases – and it has started to happen. There is NO way he’d be able to do everything – he’ll have to prioritize. Anyone with the slightest experience of management roles will understand this. To compromise really sucks, but sometimes the other options are even worse. Like quitting what you’re doing. Ask yourself – do you really feel like seeing him leaving after just a while ?

What really matters is his intentions – does Obama do that because he’s evil? Or is it because he’s cornered to? Or unable to do the reverse? And so on.

Remember, we’re talking about politics here. This is among the MOST complicated subject anyone could ever encounter. And here Obama is tackling US of A’s politics – probably the most complex of them all.

Unfortunately, we can’t read into people’s mind yet. Fortunately, we CAN make intelligent assessments. Instead of just accusing people blindly, we should really do this.

Check Obama’s track records. List his negative and positive points, this will enable you to see things more objectively. Try to focus on the bigger picture.

This is why I like Truth-O-Meter by Politifact.com. It really help you to look at things objectively, not subjectively. Note that it still misses some, even big ones – such as the fact that Obama have put a good man in charge for the recovery of USA, etc.
However, it’s definitely better than nothing.

Even easier is to compare Obama with Bush.

It then become as clear as day and night !

People, help Obama to make USA better for you. Don’t drag him down over small details. When he made mistakes – let him know that you’re not happy. When he try to do something right, let him know too that you support him.

It can be very lonely up there. If all you’re doing is nag him and get angry, any human is bound to get tired of it and think, “why the hell am I doing this ?“. That’s the first step to seduction by the sweet melody from the dark side.

A small compliment from time to time never hurts. A polite, but firm, reminder is always much better than a rude one.

.
.
.
So unless you want another Bush to rise and kick your collective a$$es even harder than before – get up, and work together to rebuild America.

We will all benefit from that as well. Because we all live in this same small blue rock called “Earth”, on this vast void of universe.

With love from Indonesia.

  3. As one could expect (at least as I did expect): yours is a very wise call for benevolent realism in the assessment of the Obama administration. I second the content of your post – well, up to 99,9%

    Of course Obama has been chosen by the American people to further the interests of the US. So by definition he sometimes will disappoint or even anger us, non US citizens.

    And he even will anger and disappoint a lot of Americans – the Midwest bigots because he, in contrast to his predecessor, is not a bigot himself. And the hardcore conservatives because he is not dogmatically against government and does not absolutely believe in casino capitalism without regulation.

    And quite a number of the blacks and poor whites also, because he will not be able to turn the tide of unemployment overnight. Especially they should be reminded to keep real.

    So, let’s indeed take the context and circumstances of his concrete policies in consideration all the time and just “check Obama’s track records” within that framework. And give him a lot of credit.

    With about 0,1% of your post I don’t agree. It is this line: “What really matters is his intentions – does Obama do that because he’s evil?”.

    Whether a politician’s intentions are good or evil are more or less irrelevant. Nixon’s and Kissinger’s intentions probably were evil, but his relatively friendly foreign policies toward the People’s Republic of China were a blessing to the world. I go with my teacher French in high school; he used to tell us, his pupils, that “good intentions” are good enough only in the Salvation Army. In real life, in politics, it’s the action that counts.

  4. @colson – hi pak, glad to see you again 🙂 sorry for the lack of english posts, lately I’ve been so busy even posts in Indonesians are few and far in between, heh.
    .
    Re: intention – it’s because actions, taken at face value, can misled people.
    .
    An example, Bill Gates’ donations.
    .
    At the surface, looks like he’s trying to redeem himself and do good.
    But when we dig deeper, the picture started to look ugly 🙂
    .
    Basically I’m asking all of us to see things comprehensively. Not just pick one or two things – and then made up our opinion already. Things are far more complex and that is not enough.
    .
    “As if we haven’t got enough ehadache headache as it is”, I know. But if we shoot down a good man – who knows when the next one will show up again? He he.

    Cheers.

  7. I think that many people pinned their hopes for a better life on Obama. This lead them to put him on a pedestal and elevate him, ion their minds, to messianic levels. They expect him to perform miracles and when he cannot do so (no human can) they are likely to turn on him.

    I don’t think any blame really attaches to Barrack Obama in this. His message has consistently been inclusive and about ‘we’ and ‘us’. “We need to…”…”We can…”

    It’s been a month, nearly. He has started, he has even achieved a few small steps in that month, but it will be quite a while before everything can be fixed.

  8. @Stephen – and elevate him, ion their minds, to messianic levels. They expect him to perform miracles and when he cannot do so (no human can) they are likely to turn on him
    .
    Tsk, humans….. 🙂
    .
    They just kept on repeating history, aren’t they. 😀
    .
    but it will be quite a while before everything can be fixed.
    .
    Totally agree.
    .
    Anyway, he actually have done quite some huge stuff, like cancelling all Bush’s last-minute executive orders. I don’t think that has ever happened before.
    .
    And many other stuff, including some action that will help beleaguered home owners. My friend, who own a house in USA, couldn’t be happier. I can only imagine the (sinking) feeling over the possibility of being homeless – and very happy for him too.
    .
    I guess that’s not too bad for a 1 month president. 🙂

  9. Disclaimer : this is not a ass-licking words, it comes spontaneously —-> this piece is one level higher than the word “perfect” 🙂
    .
    When I read this post, I ask to myself “How about Indonesia?”
    .
    The next president : support & assist – don’t bring him/her down
    .
    Naturally transfer….every president delivers their reign to the next president with all the unfinished, unsolved problem behind
    .
    The question is “do we have a potential president as competent as Obama?” before we want to compare the problem Obama is having now apple to apple to SBY’s for example, “do they on the same boat?” Maybe it’s the same boat but different crew 🙂
    .
    Ahhh, to save time, I believe it will be killing my office hour if keep talking and wondering and asking this endless matter 😆 let’s support Obama and anyone who intends to make the future as the better place for all of us

  11. @Yonna – You read my mind, dang 🙂
    .
    Yes, I was writing this piece with Indonesia in mind.
    Note that I was no fan of SBY. My vote was for Amien Rais. Still don’t.
    .
    But compared to previous presidents (except Habibie), it’s hard to deny that SBY did significantly better for the people.
    .
    For example, we’ve reached independence of rice supply (swasembada), with not much fanfare. While the swasembada on Soeharto’s regime were sometimes false – boasted repeatedly, while in fact the gov’t are still importing silently.
    .
    Our economic situation is also better. An example – I never thought we’ll be able to see our country free from IMF’s regime in my lifetime. That one was very surprising and quite satisfying 🙂
    .
    Etc, etc. Anyway, to some, he may seem slow.
    But when we look deeper, it’s truly astonishing. Turned out his political enemies are spreading “political landmines” all over the place. He had to take his steps very carefully, or he’ll explode some. In fact, he already did. More reasons to be cautious.
    .
    That’s how messy Indonesia is. Our elites truly sucks. Even Soeharto only managed to keep them under control with iron fist AND sharing the booty with them.
    .
    The system sucks too – the good ones are pretty much impossible to raise to the top. Power are reachable to those who are willing to do anything for it. So that left us with two types – the bad ones, and the good one who’ll have to do compromises along the way.
    .
    But not many people are willing to spend some time and analyze things. It’s easier to just criticize until your mouth foamed, and then still repeat our past mistakes anyway. For example, re electing the past president who had sold this country’s assets for very cheap price, while neglecting its people.
    .
    So we kinda deserve it I guess 🙂

  12. Obama couldn’t have been elected at a more difficult time. The next few years are going to be very tough – not just for America, but for the whole world.

    That said, I think his bold spending plans are a step in the right direction, and he should be applauded for that.

  14. Most people did not realise that Obama never be able to solve ALL problems. Even so FDR who been regard his achievement to bring America from the great depression.
    Obama is needed to bring the right direction, at least he path the way to bring his audacity of hope to come true. He needed us, and we need him. This time only.

  18. Pak harry, bisa bantu saya Pak… Kan Bapak bahas soal Gartnier. Bisa jelasin by e-mail Pak.. Thanks

  19. I think that many American think that Obama will pull out a magic wand and make everything ok in a matter of months. Even in Europe people think that Obama will help the world economy and make everything perfect. A realist knows that that is too good to be true, but I am sure Obama is the best man for the job of leading the USA in these turbulent times!

  20. I’d be happy with tomorrow a bit better than yesterday, then repeat each day.

    Stephen

  21. What made Obama such an outstanding and controversial person, what is special in him? Some people praise and some criticise, why? What is the best and the worst in him?

  22. Thank you for this article and information. after I read, I get the benefit

    Regard

  24. I agree with you.
    No body’s perfect, then just be wise.
    We can’t just rely on a person to make a change, but it should start from ourselves after all.
    Obama is just a human, and one thing that we can do is just fully support him to make change.
    Right, mas?

    🙂

  31. about obama i want to say just one thing that only he has the capacity, as a president, to fight and defeat terrorism. i can say this ecause i think that obama also thinks just same as me…

  40. There was a prophecy in our country (Russia), who said, that last president of America will be black %)

  42. Yes I too have read a lot of articles and blogs asking for Obama’s ouster saying that he is lying a lot and it is being ignired by the media. I think that too much is being made

  43. I feel bad for Obama right now, There is so much pressure on him to clean up the mess from the past 8 years! Everyone expects instant change. He has done a lot in his first 100 days of office, but there is a lot that needs to be fixed in this country. Americans need to realize that and understand that its going to take some time. Obama has really set us in the right direction though.

  44. I agree, if you don’t like Obama then owell keep your commenst to yourself, because he is the President and he deserves everyone respect and support. I think he deserves a chance like every other president did.

  50. I think we should give Mr. Obama the chance. We cannot blame him for what had happened a few years ago. I know he is trying his best, but we should also start doing our parts too.

  51. Mr.Obama is good man.I can’t believe if he is a precident.But thank’s Mr Obama.I hope you don’t forget Indonesia people.

  52. I think his bold spending plans are a step in the right direction, and he should be applauded for that. Obama couldn’t have been elected at a more difficult time. The next few years are going to be very tough – not just for America, but for the whole world.

  55. Mr. Obama’s move is on the right direction, I hope everything will fall into place soon. There’s a prediction that recession will end sometime this third quarter. I guess, the government did a very good job on this.

  63. The president’s just made his case for health reform to the joint congress (aired on all major tv channels in the U.S.) judged by critics as his best speech since becoming president. Let’s home there are more options made available to the self employed and uninsured, like myself.

  76. In our daily life, online videos are more and more popular, we enjoy them.
    However, just videos online can’t satisfy our needs. Sometimes, we are likely

  105. Several days ago, Obama said one sentence that impressed me a lot, “I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president.”. I think the second term is a reward if a president can do well in his first term, in no way should he see the second term as the purpose of first term.

  116. All people around the world are wanting peace..no more war…the world economic shall be developed and raised up…Regards

  119. And a good number of blacks and poor whites as well, because it will not be able to turn the tide of unemployment during the night. Especially remember to keep it real.

    So we actually have the background and the circumstances of their specific policies into account all the time and only “track check Obama’s record” within that framework. And give it much credence.
    Andy

  121. Obama needs sometime to prove himself…i am sure he won’t let down the people.

  122. Let’s hope that he’ll be able to keep on putting the right men at the right places like this.

  126. We have to give a chance to Obama. At least he has already prepared some programs that will be done until his last period of being US President. After all, it is easy to give a critic but it is difficult to become a pioneer to solve a problem.

  148. 2 years later still in the same mess. I can’t really say that Obama is to blame, but I don’t know if he has done all that he can to get us out of this funky economy.

  150. what a fantastic write-up, in fact you’ll notice a few details of which I may well not really go along, nonetheless your writting really are undeniably astounding.

  164. Hi,

    I wanted to share some very important news that has been spreading around the internet concerning our future well being.

    I hope you, your family, and friends stay safe by taking the proper precuations as we enter in to confusing and troubling times as we watch a worldwide pandemic unfold with this Coronavirus. Could there be something more deeper going on with all of this?

    Jesus says to His disciples concerning the last days, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:7-8).

    We have been seeing a record setting amount of Earthquakes world-wide in various places, incuding places that normally do not receive Earthquakes. Now with this Coronavirus, could this be one of the pestilences that will fall upon us? Where will this leave our economy? Did you know the Bible teaches there will be a cashless society in the last days? Will this be a major stepping stone in bringing that about?

    We are approaching a future of a one-world cashless society in which they will mandate us to have an RFID microchip implanted in our body. This chip will contain all our personal information and we will lose much more of our privacy because of the tracking capabilities.

    More importantly, did you know that this was all prophesied almost 2000 years ago by a man named Jesus? Don’t believe me? Keep reading…This may be the most important thing you will ever read.

    “He (the false prophet) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (Revelation 13:16-18).

    Revelation 13:16-18 is speaking of the end times, and this could only be speaking of a cashless money society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Why? Because we could still buy or sell without receiving the mark among one another if physical money was still currency. It logically deduces itself to this reason.

    This mark could not be spiritual, because the word references two different physical locations stating one “OR” the other.

    This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning this RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID microchip in the 90’s.

    “Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

    Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

    Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places Revelation says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

    Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”

    Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:

    “And the first(Angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).

    The Bible tells us we cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast, or the number of its name. This number is identified as 666. The Bible tells us to calculate the number 666. How do we calculate 666?

    This is where it gets really interesting. Calculating the number 666 has been long debated throughout the centuries, but has now been revealed in these last days by God. What I will show you confirms itself with the Bible the true meaning to calculate 666.

    Throughout the Bible, God uses the number 3 as confirmation of things. Here are a few examples:

    “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one” (1 John 5:7 NKJV).

    “and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4 NKJV).

    “…Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8 NKJV).

    Now what is interesting is the the mark of the beast is described in detail in three separate verses (Revelation 13:16,17,18), and each verse lists three different examples of the given topic. The last three being the number 6 being used three times in a row. This is a key point to unlocking how to calculate the number 666.

    What does it mean to count? It means to add up. So how could we add up 666? Remember my previous point about God confirming in threes. So logically, what would be the best way to count the number 666? To count it equally in threes based off the number. We cannot count it equally as 600+60+6, this would also bring us back to the start. We cannot count it as 600+600+600, or 60+60+60, because there are no zeroes in between or at the end of 666. The only logical option is 6+6+6=18. What is interesting is that the verse that reveals for us to count the number itself is verse 18, being the third verse out of three verses that describe the mark of the beast. What is 18 divided by 3? 6. So 3×6=18, or 6+6+6=18.

    Another interesting point is the only two other combinations (making a total of three possible combinations) for placing a “+” symbol in between the 6’s are 66+6=72, and 6+66=72. Add both 72’s together and you get 144. Why the number 144 is interesting is because the verse following Revelation 13:18 is the first time in the Bible where the 144,000 are being described in detail:

    “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads…” (Revelation 14:1).

    Now if you add up all three numbers by counting 666 by moving the “+” symbol around in all three possible combinations, it would be 72+72+18=162. What is interesting about the number 162, is, if you divide 144,000 by 162, you get 888. The name of Jesus in Greek gematria adds up to 888. The New Testament was orignally written in Greek. Revelation 14:1 not only mentions the 144,000, but also the Lamb who is Jesus.

    Now what is interesting about the number for Jesus, 888, is that if you apply this same formula, you get 8+8+8=24. Why the number 24? Revelation chapter 4 tells us there are 24 elders seated around the throne of God. This is the same throne where Jesus sits:

    “Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads” (Revelation 4:2-4).

    Now if you take 8+8+8=24, and 8+88=96, and 88+8=96, you get 24+96+96=216. Take 144,000 divided by 216 and you get 666. Remember that this was the same exact formula to get the number 162 out of counting 666 that brought about the number 888 when dividing 144,000 by 162. It is perpetual.

    With using the same formula of counting by adding the “+” symbol in between the numbers, why do all these numbers relate in such a way?

    Another interesting point to note is that if you add up all the numbers from 1 to 36, it totals 666. The number 36, as in three sixes? Could this be a hint that we should add up three sixes instead of perceiving the number as six-hundred sixty six?

    So what could this mean? Well we know in this world we are identified by numbers in various forms. From our birth certificate to social security, as well as our drivers license, being identified based on a system of ruler ship. So it is possible that this RFID microchip will contain a new identification that has a total of 18 characters.

    Could this be the name of the beast, the number of its name? The one-world beast system that is identified by 18 characters? This would fit scripture that speaks of a mark that we must have to buy or sell in our right hand or forehead, and that it also contains the number of the beast, during a future cashless money society.

    Go to: http://voice-truth.com to see all the proof!

    The Bible warns us in the end times that a false prophet will rise up doing miracles to deceive many to receive this mark:

    “Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image” (Revelation 19:20).

    No matter the cost, DO NOT TAKE IT!

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    We are living in very prophetic times with major Biblical prophecies being fulfilled. When Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as capital of Israel in December of 2017, this was a big step to bring about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.

    The Bible tells us that the Antichrist will seat himself in this temple:

    “…and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).

    In the Islamic religion, they have man called the Mahdi, known as their messiah who they are waiting to appear. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist. I myself have had strange dreams about him. He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith, but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.

    His real name is said to be Barry Soetoro, and he had his name changed to Barack Obama. But why?

    Jesus says, “And He said to them, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).

    In Hebrew, the word Barack means “lightning”, and the use of Bama (Strongs Hebrew word 1116) is used to refer to the “heights” of heaven.

    The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.

    Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.

    Regardless, whoever seats himself in that Third Temple in Jerusalem declaring himself to be God IS THE ANTICHRIST. DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

    Why do we need Jesus?

    “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

    “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

    Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?

    God has brought down His moral law’s through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but so that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, and so forth.

    We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh over 2000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.

    The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays your fine, even though you are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let you go free. This is what Jesus did almost 2000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood, with His last words being, “…It is finished!…” (John 19:30).

    Now why did Jesus have to die for us?

    Because God is Holy and just, the wrath that we deserve could not go unnoticed. Through the perfect righteousness and justice of God’s character, it must be dealt with, it must be quenched and satisfied.

    For God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.

    This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all die and go to hell. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son who’s soul could not be left in Hades, but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.

    So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer see’s the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death.

    Now what we must do is repent and trust in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins. This is not just a head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness:

    “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

    By doing so we may become transformed into the image of God through faith in His Son Christ Jesus Who is willing to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask of Him:

    “Most assuredly, I (Jesus) say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ (John 3:5-7).

    “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His” (Romans 8:9).

    What are you waiting for? Our Father in heaven only wants the best for us, restoring everything this world has stolen from us. This is what it means to be “holy”. To be made whole.

    He is waiting to hear from you. That God given tongue to speak language, through faith, pray to Him, ask Him to forgive you by confessing your sins and be willing to forsake them; that you accept the sacrifice of His Son Jesus on the cross, and that you want His Holy Spirit living inside you transforming you into a child of God.

    Jesus says, “but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him (the Holy Spirit) will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

    Did you know that Jesus spoke more about hell than anyone else, even more than He spoke about heaven?! For this very reason He came to die for us, to rescue us from this place that we deserve.

    He describes hell as a real place where,

    “Their worm does not die
    And the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44).

    And where,

    “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth…” (Luke 13:28).

    Jesus tells us who to fear,

    “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

    “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’

    Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’

    And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).

    Out of all the world religions, how can we be sure the Bible got it right? The scientific data has established and continues to support that the universe once had a beginning in which space, time and matter were created. Many know this as the big bang.

    “The non-biblical religions tell us that god or god’s create within space and time that eternally exist. The Bible stands alone and says that time and space don’t exist until God creates the universe.” – Astronomer (Phd) Hugh Ross

    The Bible not only got it right that space, time and matter all came into existence at the beginning of the universe, it also states in 7 different places that the universe is expanding thousands of years before scientists discovered these things.

    Did you know that the real Noah’s Ark was discovered in the location where the Bible told us it would be, as well as having the correct dimensions? As well as proof for the destruction of Sodom Gomorrah and the Exodus account of the Red Sea crossing?

    The Bible is the most translated and read book in the history of the world, full of predictive prophecies, matching what we find in the book of nature. Wouldn’t you expect God’s word to be so?
